A year later, Zhan Chen finally broke through again. At this point, he had finally consolidated his intermediate martial arts skills, and the phaseless golden body technique had reached a higher level.
Now, he was heading towards Black Ye City, and the passion surging in his heart could not be suppressed. But at this moment, there was a vibration in the spirit beast ring on his wrist.
As soon as Zhan Chen's heart moved, he released the little demon. The appearance of the little demon was no different from that of a human being. Even if it was released, it would not attract anyone's attention.
As soon as the little demon appeared, he took a deep breath of fresh air outside and shouted: "I'm suffocated to death. I'm really suffocated to death in this spirit beast ring."
Zhan Chen was stunned and asked: Xiaoyao, you used to stay well in the spirit beast ring, why can't you stay now?
The little demon's eyes flashed with confusion and he said: I don't know why. In the past, I was always in a daze every day, either eating or sleeping. My life was quite smooth. But since I broke through the eighth level, I am here.
In the empty spirit beast ring, I often feel empty inside and always want to go out. After all, it seems that I haven't been outside for more than a year.
Zhan Chen looked at her like this and thought thoughtfully: The little demon would feel lonely, probably because of her transformation. Yes, why didn't I expect that the little demon is clearly alone now?
, as a human being, you will yearn for the outside world, and as a human being, you need to interact. In the past, I did not do well and always kept her in the spirit beast ring. I must pay attention to it in the future and try to put her in the spirit beast ring.
Go outside and touch the world.
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen said to her again: Little Demon, I understand. I will often let you go outside in the future, just like in the flood swamp, but the human world is not as good as your monster world.
The relationship with people is very complicated, and there are many people with bad intentions, so you have to promise me, be obedient, stay close to me at all times, and don't run around, do you understand?
Got it, Daddy Xiaoyao replied sweetly.
This father called her so kindly that Zhan Chen couldn't help but touch her cute little head, and then said: "Little demon, I have to go on my way and do some business, so you'd better go to the spirit beast ring and be patient for a while."
If I have to hurry, that's great. Daddy can ride on me. The little demon can run very fast. The little demon replied innocently.
Can you run faster than me? Zhan Chen didn't believe it at all.
The little demon muttered and said: Otherwise, I will compete with you.
Okay, if you lose, I will reward you with ten eighth-grade elixirs. Zhan Chen casually agreed.
Oh, really?
Huh, look down on me. A gentleman's words are swift and his horse is whipped.
Then let's come quickly. The little demon said as he transformed again into a ferret form.
Zhan Chen smiled coldly, took one step forward, and used his famous footwork, Chasing Light Step. Now, his cultivation level has reached the middle level of Martial Saint. When he uses Chasing Light Step, his speed is equivalent to five times the speed of ordinary footwork.
, can really be described as lightning fast.
As a result, Zhan Chen couldn't control his speed well for a while and just rushed forward. The scenery in front of him was changing, which dazzled him.
However, just when he thought he was sure of victory, he suddenly saw a white shadow following him and keeping pace with it.
Zhan Chen was shocked. He took a closer look and found that it was indeed a little demon. She could actually keep up with him.
The two of them ran thousands of miles like this. Zhan Chen finally felt a little exhausted and slowed down. Taking this opportunity, the little demon overtook him. The demon's physical strength was many times stronger than that of the warrior.
Seeing that he lost, Zhan Chen stopped first, and then Xiao Yao also stopped and shouted to him proudly: Dad, I won.
Zhan Chen looked at her in shock and asked: How could you run so fast?
I don’t know, I’m naturally good at speed.
Xiaoyao, can you really still not remember anything? For example, when you were a child? Zhan Chen asked again.
As the level of the little demon gradually improved, she showed more and more extraordinary features, so that Zhan Chen was eager to know the identity of the monster he had taken in.
I really don’t know, I have no memory at all. The little demon shook his head.
Zhan Chen couldn't help it. He had asked several times and got the same answer.
Dad, where is the elixir you promised the little demon?
Zhan Chen gave up and had to take out a handful of elixirs. He couldn't use them anyway, so he might as well level up the little demon.
There are ten elixirs, and the little demon still takes one at a time. These elixirs are very powerful. Monsters of the same level as her would take several days to refine just one elixir.
Zhan Chen has long been used to this, and now all he can do is try his best to help the little demon improve. Maybe she will remember something when she reaches the ninth level, or even an immortal beast.
After she finished eating, Zhan Chen jumped on her back, startling the latter and shouting: Ah, what are you doing?
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: Since you run so fast, I naturally have to ask you to take my place.
Okay then. The little demon said solemnly.
Okay, let's go in that direction. Zhan Chen pointed forward, and the little demon spread its hooves and leaped forward.
Sitting on Xiaoyao's back, Zhan Chen's first feeling was that it was extremely comfortable. There were soft and smooth ferret furs under his buttocks, which was more comfortable than a high-end leather sofa. This was his first time riding a demon beast, and he felt a sudden joy in his heart.
I had a lot of wonderful feelings.
Looking up at the sky, he felt that the sky seemed to be very close to him. Every time the little demon leapt, he could reach a height of more than ten meters, and then fall from the sky again, which gave Zhan Chen a sense of flying again.
Black Ye City is actually very far away, tens of thousands of miles away from Zhongyu City, but sitting on Xiao Yao's back, Zhan Chen felt that it seemed very close. Only when the sun rose again, he was there.
At the intersection of heaven and earth, a huge city can be vaguely seen.
After asking the little demon to stop, Zhan Chen took out a map from the Qiankun bag for comparison, and finally confirmed that the giant city in front of him was the Black Ye City, and felt quite uneasy.
It’s finally here. After twenty-five years, Mei’er Hen’er, how are you doing? Are you okay? Zhan Chen thought excitedly.
After a while, he calmed down his surging heart, put the little demon into the spirit beast ring, and walked towards Black Ye City.
Seen up close, Black Ye City looks even more majestic. It is completely pitch black, with a city wall that is more than a hundred meters long. It is one-third the size of Zhongyu City, and there are more than 30 million warriors living in it.
Walking into the giant city, Zhan Chen felt a solemn atmosphere rushing towards him. Most of the buildings here were made of thick black bricks. From a distance, they gave people a solemn and dull feeling.
On the street, pedestrians come and go in a hurry, rarely staying on the roadside to talk to each other, and everyone's expressions are very serious. Walking on the road, you will see a team of patrols wearing black armor passing by, which makes people avoid them.
To no avail. Zhan Chen vaguely felt that the city was sick, shrouded in an invisible depression.
At this moment, he saw a luxurious restaurant and thought: Although I now have the cultivation level of an intermediate martial saint, it is obviously a bad idea to forcefully break into the city lord's palace. This restaurant is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and I might be able to inquire inside.
After receiving some news, I will start planning again.
So, he walked into it and came to the hall on the first floor. The hall was quite lively, filled with people in twos and threes, everyone was eating, drinking and talking quietly.
Zhan Chen also found a seat to sit down, ordered a table of wine and food, and began to drink for himself. In fact, he was a drunkard and was not interested in drinking. He listened carefully to the conversations of those people with his ears pricked up.
Suddenly, he heard that the conversation between two people seemed to be related to Yin Meiru, so he hurriedly began to listen carefully.
Only one person said: Hey, brother, when I first came to Black Ye City, I felt like there was a weird feeling here. Could it be that something happened?
Another person said: Shhh, keep your voice down, let’s not talk about this Black Ye City, or we’ll get into trouble.
Why?
You don’t know that our city has been under martial law since that woman took over. There are laws and regulations stipulated above. No one is allowed to talk about the City Lord’s Mansion and matters related to the City Lord’s Mansion, otherwise they may be killed by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Catch
Oh, is it that serious?
Of course there is. In the past few years, the streets were very strict, and people were often imprisoned, and some even lost their lives for it.
After what you said, I became more and more interested in the secret. This is in a hotel and no one will notice it. Just tell me about it.
However, his friend stubbornly shook his head and sighed: It's better not to say anything, curiosity will kill people.
Hearing this, Zhan Chen stood up and came to their seats. The two people talking were a little at a loss and didn't understand why he came, but seeing his advanced cultivation, they still respectfully
Asked: Senior, you came to us with something to do
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: You two, my name is Xu Shan. I am new to Heiye City and I am unfamiliar with the people. I would like to ask you about something.
what do you want to ask
Zhan Chen thought for a while and said: Otherwise, let's go upstairs to talk. I would like to treat you two to a drink.
OK, they both agreed in unison.
After a while, in a sealed box on the highest floor of the hotel, Zhan Chen and the other two people sat down around a table with fine wine and a table full of delicacies.
The two of them felt a little restrained sitting together with Zhan Chen, a strong martial artist.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen smiled slightly, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked the two of them: "I don't know your names yet."
My name is Huang Hou.
My name is Chen Cheng.
The two introduced themselves separately.
Huang Hou and Chen Cheng, let me toast you first. Zhan Chen raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The two of them also quickly toasted him in return.
After a glass of wine, the tense atmosphere in the box finally eased slightly. Taking this opportunity, Zhan Chen asked: You two, I invited you here today because I want to ask you something about the Lord of Black Ye City.
As soon as these words came out, Huang Hou showed curiosity on his face, but Chen Cheng turned pale with shock.
