Chapter 5024

Miao Pengfei couldn't believe that he and Zi Chen had stayed behind just like that.

After all, those people were all part of the same group, and the two of them were outsiders, so they had been ostracized by everyone.

But now, things seemed to have changed.

Those who didn't like Miao Pengfei before were now extremely courteous to him.

Filo's former residence was now Zi Chen's. Miao Pengfei stared at this residence, which was twice as big as a normal person's, in disbelief.

Originally, he thought that he should run when the situation turned bad.

But now, everything had changed.

"What's going on?" Miao Pengfei looked at Zi Chen. "Do you think they're really that kind?"

Zi Chen shook his head. He couldn't figure out what those three Strength Realm cultivators were thinking, but since they were here, they might as well stay for now.

Miao Pengfei's expression suddenly changed. "Do you think this is a stalling tactic?"

Zi Chen looked at Miao Pengfei.

"They know that they're no match for you, so they're keeping you here. Their real goal is to go to Shatter Dharma City and find a powerful expert to kill you," Miao Pengfei said.

"Impossible."

Zi Chen said, "Those three Strength Realm cultivators are very arrogant. They don't think that they can't kill me."

Zi Chen was very confident in this because Kevin was very confident in his own strength. It was just that the other party didn't want to take that step.

And the three Strength Realm cultivators here didn't know him, nor did they know how strong he was. It was almost impossible that they were waiting for help.

"Maybe it's because of the Killing Crystal."

This was the only way Zi Chen could think of. After coming here, the only secret he could reveal was the Killing Crystal.

"Could it be that they want you to find the Killing Crystal?" Miao Pengfei guessed.

"Right, have they returned the energy to you yet?"

Not long ago, Miao Pengfei had given everyone two strands of energy as compensation. The dead Filo had received four strands.

Miao Pengfei shook his head.

Zi Chen's expression became serious.

"What's wrong?" Miao Pengfei asked. "Is there a problem?"

"I am now in charge of them, and you are my friend. How could they have the guts to ask for compensation from you?"

Zi Chen frowned and said, "He didn't return the energy. Maybe he thinks that I won't be the leader for long."

Miao Pengfei's expression changed. "They must be up to something. Why don't we leave at night?"

At this moment, the sky was almost dark. Leaving at night could save a lot of trouble.

Zi Chen walked to the window and looked outside. He found that there were some people nearby. They seemed to be wandering around, but they were actually monitoring.

"It's over. It's over."

When Miao Pengfei saw this scene, he said in despair, "I guessed right!

Why were they so insidious?

If we had run earlier, we could have escaped. "

"How about we kill our way out tonight?"

Zi Chen retracted his gaze. "Let's wait first."

Through their conversation earlier in the day, he didn't think that the other party was putting on an act.

Because if it was acting, Crewe could just casually brush him off. There was no need to explain it to him.

Therefore, Zi Chen decided to wait and see.

That night, Miao Pengfei didn't leave. He stayed in Zi Chen's room.

Seeing Zi Chen calmly take the energy and refine it, he was extremely anxious.

He used to be the City Lord, so he had his own calmness.

But that calmness was based on strength. When everyone was in the One Strength State, no one could pose a threat to him, so he didn't panic.

But it was different now. They were surrounded by people who could kill him. Now that they were being monitored, he couldn't calm down at all.

This kind of anxiety lasted until the sky brightened.

Miao Pengfei ran to the window and secretly looked outside. There were still people monitoring.

"Will today's experts come?"

In Miao Pengfei's subconscious, there should be two Four Strength State experts blocking the door, one in front and one behind.

At the same time, the others surrounded them, blocking all their escape routes.

After a night of cultivation, Zi Chen consumed three streams of energy, but still didn't make any progress.

He had already forgotten what it felt like to advance to the Second Strength State.

Was it luck, or emotion?

It was hard to say.

After opening the door, Zi Chen practiced a set of martial arts and warmed up his muscles. There were still people around, but he didn't care.

Not long after, Crewe came.

"Zi Chen, you're in a good mood."

Crewe looked at Zi Chen practicing and laughed.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've been so free, so I came out to exercise.

Sir, do you have any plans for me this time? "

"Call me Crewe. I don't dare to be called Sir."

A light flashed in front of Crewe, and he took out more than a hundred streams of energy. "These are your shares. The Second Strength State cultivators get one or two streams per day. Zi Chen, as the captain, you get five streams per day."

Zi Chen put away the energy. He estimated that it was enough for two days.

However, Zi Chen quickly reacted and asked, "I'm not too familiar with the rules here. I wonder if I should leave some behind?"

Crewe smiled and said, "It's up to you whether you want to keep it or not."

Zi Chen said, "What I mean is, should I leave some for Sir?"

When Zi Chen was in the area controlled by Gavin, Gavin gave him more than a hundred streams of energy every day. It was obvious that the energy was embezzled.

Crewe laughed and said, "You're really interesting."

After saying that, Crewe left.

"What do we need to do?" Zi Chen asked again.

"The new batch of ores hasn't been mined yet. We'll talk about it when they come out."

Crewe left.

Without a mission, everyone only got one stream of energy a day. Only when they went out on a mission would they get two.

Miao Pengfei walked out of the room. He didn't understand what the other party was up to.

"Distribute these streams of energy."

Zi Chen took out a few dozen streams of energy and gave them to Miao Pengfei.

Miao Pengfei took the energy and walked away.

Zi Chen looked at Miao Pengfei's back as he left. This time, he felt more at ease.

Not long after, Miao Pengfei ran back and said excitedly, "They returned the energy to me again."

Those who took Miao Pengfei's energy yesterday not only returned it, but also gave him two more streams each.

Now, he took out a few dozen streams of energy and handed them to Zi Chen.

"You can keep them."

Zi Chen said, "They should be useful for gathering information later."

Miao Pengfei understood what Zi Chen meant. He didn't refuse and kept the energy.

After that, wherever he went, people were very polite to him. It was as if he had returned to the area under Gavin's rule.

But this time, Zi Chen didn't threaten the Three Powers Realm. Instead, he used the identity of a small leader.

There were no missions for three days. There was only one day left of the energy Crewe gave him.
