#459 - Shocked Zhou Chuan
Although Xie Lingyun had washed the blood off her body completely, to Zhang Chen, who controlled the Blood Dao, it was still extremely foul-smelling. Even from dozens of feet away, the stench assaulted his senses.
"Solved?" Zhang Chen asked, pouring Xie Lingyun a cup of tea.
He knew through the blood puppet that the matter was already resolved, but he still had to act as if he didn't know.
"The top experts of the demon race have all escaped, but the hundred thousand strong army has been completely left behind by me," Xie Lingyun said, taking a sip of hot tea, her voice filled with murderous intent.
Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, "It can be considered eliminating a great threat for our human race."
"Most importantly, the corpses of those hundred thousand beasts are enough for the people of the Northern Lands to get through this year of hardship," Xie Lingyun said.
Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Zhang Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected that the corpses of those beasts would have such a use.
Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun chatted for a while, then Xie Lingyun said, "The Northern Lands will probably be in chaos in the future. The true dragon has fallen, and its dragon pearl and blood have scattered into the rivers and lakes. I don't know how many creatures have gained fortune. The Northern Lands will definitely be in great chaos in the future."
"What if there is great chaos? The demon race's invasion is already a foregone conclusion. This place will be the demon race's territory in the future. The great chaos will be a headache for the demon race," Zhang Chen said.
"You can't say that. It is precisely because countless beasts in the Northern Lands have gained good fortune and are about to transform and become a force to be reckoned with, that we cannot leave the Northern Lands to the demon race. Those demon beasts that have become a force to be reckoned with are all deeply rooted. Once they are absorbed by the demon race, they will definitely become a great threat to our human race," Xie Lingyun said with a serious expression.
"But now the demon race has already occupied the White Bone Great Wall, and the invasion of millions of demon troops is a foregone conclusion. The fall of the Northern Lands is unavoidable. No one can change this outcome," Zhang Chen denied Xie Lingyun's words.
"I have already dispatched 50,000 troops to secretly rush to the White Bone Great Wall to see if we can find an opportunity to recapture the White Bone Great Wall," Xie Lingyun said in a low voice.
Zhang Chen felt that Xie Lingyun was very naive. Now that the demon race has occupied the White Bone Great Wall, how could they give the human race another chance to recapture it?
He felt that now was the best time to take the opportunity to escape from the Northern Lands, otherwise Xie Lingyun's 50,000 troops would be buried in the Northern Lands.
"The reason I came to you this time is to invite you to explore the Spring Courtyard Lake Dragon Palace together," Xie Lingyun changed the topic. She felt that this topic was too heavy and not easy to discuss.
"Now?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Seven days later! Because I haven't prepared yet," Xie Lingyun put down her teacup, stood up and left, "I'll come to you in seven days."
Xie Lingyun's figure disappeared into the misty rain, leaving Zhang Chen looking at her departing back in silence. Just as Zhang Chen was in a daze, a figure walked from the street, tearing through the rain and sitting opposite Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen looked at the burly man opposite him and saw him impolitely pick up the teacup and drink it all in one gulp: "I just remembered that if I had escaped, given the Gong family's nature, it would definitely involve you, so I hurriedly got rid of Gong Hei and returned. Where's Gong Bai? Why can't I see Gong Bai's踪迹?"
"Gong Bai is my man now. Don't fight him in the future," Zhang Chen instructed.
Zhou Chuan was stunned when he heard this, looking at Zhang Chen with a bewildered expression, not quite understanding Zhang Chen's meaning. What do you mean 'your man now'? That's Gong Bai, one of the Black and White Elders of the Gong family.
He wanted to ask, but his lips moved, and he finally swallowed the words back, then spat out a tea leaf: "You kid are a ruthless person."
"I'm leaving. Do you want to leave with me? I always feel that the atmosphere in the Northern Lands is a little strange, as if some great terror is staring in the dark, making my whole body shudder," Zhou Chuan said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen knew that what Zhou Chuan was talking about was the demon race powerhouse. Now the demon race's power has already begun to infiltrate secretly. The 100,000 demon race army that Xie Lingyun killed was just a drop in the bucket.
"I still have things to do. After I finish, I will leave this place immediately," Zhang Chen replied.
He still had to find the Evergreen Tree Coffin and seek the fortune within the Spring Courtyard Lake Dragon Palace. He hadn't squeezed the value of the Northern Lands dry yet.
"Take care," Zhou Chuan could only say upon hearing this.
"Do you know where there are masters who forge weapons? I want to forge that section of dragon horn into a weapon," Zhang Chen asked.
Zhou Chuan pondered for a moment before saying, "There are only three families in this world that can forge divine weapons. With the status and position of the two of us, it is impossible to ask them to take action. Just use it for now. It's not bad to just swing the dragon horn to smash people."
Zhang Chen smiled bitterly upon hearing this. Weapons are crucial items in battle, how can they be made so crudely? If you fool the weapon, the weapon will fool you at a critical moment, causing you to lose your life.
He knew that Zhou Chuan didn't have any good ideas, so he could only give up asking and save it for later.
The two drank tea for a while, then Zhou Chuan said goodbye and left. The inn became empty again, leaving only Zhang Chen sitting at the table staring at the steaming teapot in a daze.
"I still have to go back to the Yellow Dawn Temple for a trip. I don't know if there are any secrets inside that I can investigate. I always feel that the Yellow Dawn Temple is not that simple. Also, the old guy Wu Changming didn't show his face in this fierce battle. It's really strange. How could that old guy endure such benefits as the true dragon's fall?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.
Zhang Chen suddenly wanted to see Wu Changming. He always felt that this old guy was not that simple.
"Let's go see how my bumblebee and falcon are doing." Zhang Chen thought that he was about to leave the Northern Lands, so he should prepare early. The bumblebee and falcon were both to be taken with him. Although these two demon beasts were not of great use to him at the moment, they could be used for guarding the house in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen directly activated his escape technique and disappeared into the inn. When he reappeared, he was already at the cave. As soon as he arrived at the cave, Zhang Chen noticed something unusual. There were actually two mysterious auras in the cave.
Seeming to sense Zhang Chen's aura, the two mysterious auras flashed and rushed straight towards Zhang Chen, then landed on Zhang Chen's shoulders, one on each side, emitting a sense of closeness.
"The bumblebee and falcon have mutated. Have they finally become demon beasts?" Zhang Chen looked at the two small animals in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The biggest change was in the bumblebee. Originally the size of a fist, the bumblebee's body had shrunk to the size of an ordinary bumblebee, but unlike ordinary bumblebees, this bumblebee's entire body was golden, emitting a metallic, cold texture, as if it were a mechanical product.
Zhang Chen took the bumblebee in his hand and looked at it, feeling the heavy texture, and finally confirmed its change. The bumblebee had actually turned into a golden material.
The entire bumblebee's body had completely turned into gold, with mysterious auras flowing around it, all of which showed the extraordinary nature of the bumblebee in front of him.
"Good! Good! Good! Now that you have transformed into demon beasts, I will be able to find fortune for you in the future and help you to transform," Zhang Chen played with the bumblebee and looked at the falcon again. He saw that the falcon's size was the opposite of the bumblebee. Not only had it not shrunk, but it had doubled in size, looking like an adult standing there, its feathers shining brightly, majestic and divine.
"Not bad, not bad!" Zhang Chen kept clapping his hands in praise. He could feel that the great falcon was shrouded in a layer of mysterious aura, but its potential seemed to be inferior to that of the bumblebee, and there were no special characteristics on its body.
"It doesn't matter if the bloodline is ordinary, I can find mysterious things for you to help your bloodline transform," Zhang Chen also touched the falcon's head. The falcon obediently stretched its head over, enjoying Zhang Chen's caress.
At this time, the bumblebee seemed to be jealous, broke away from Zhang Chen's palm, flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Chen's head, seemingly demonstrating to the falcon.
Then the two were at odds with each other, and neither would give in.
Zhang Chen took the bumblebee off his head and transmitted his thoughts unhappily: "We will be leaving this place soon. Prepare your team and don't cause trouble when the time comes."
The two beasts had just gained fortune and transformed into mystery. Although they had wisdom, it was not too high and needed Zhang Chen to constantly train them.
After Zhang Chen saw that his pets were fine, he used the earth escape technique again and left. He also had to go to King Pingbian's ancestral tomb to check it out and see if he could destroy the feng shui of King Pingbian's ancestral tomb.
Zhang Chen came to the place where the Ascension Pool fell. From afar, he could hear shouts of killing in the mountains. He saw a ten-meter-long snake, its body flashing with black mist, fighting with a dozen Jianghu figures.
"Chen Xu?" Zhang Chen recognized the origin of the black snake at a glance. Wasn't that the Bashe transformed by Chen Xu?
However, Chen Xu seemed to be in bad shape at this time. He was actually surrounded by a group of martial arts experts who had trained their Qi and blood. The swords and sabers kept slashing at the Bashe's body, cutting out bloody wounds.
"This beast is about to die. As long as we kill this beast and drink its blood, we can evolve again and control the power of mystery," someone shouted loudly in the distance, their words full of fanaticism.
How could the Jianghu people in the Northern Lands not recognize the Bashe?
This Bashe in front of them was the greatest fortune for everyone.
The fortune of the true dragon was something that martial arts experts like them could not compete for, but dealing with this young Bashe in front of them would not be too difficult for everyone.
Chen Xu was also unlucky. He originally used the feng shui formation to seize a portion of the dragon horn and dragon pearl, and prepared to find a quiet place to evolve after swallowing it. After all, the true dragon and the Bashe both belonged to the dragon and snake family, and the true dragon's flesh and blood were also a great supplement for the Bashe. But who knew that the commotion caused by his molting was too great, and it actually alarmed the Jianghu people who came chasing after the dragon pearl.
The Bashe was also of the dragon and snake family, and the dragon pearl fragments automatically rushed towards Chen Xu, attracting the Jianghu people who came chasing after it. Chen Xu's molting was interrupted halfway, and he had no choice but to crawl out and suffer thousands of cuts. This was simply a sudden disaster, making him miserable.
