Chapter 120 Return to Fenghua County

Zhou Chen froze in the middle of his words because the content above was different from what he had seen before. It was not Fenghua County but another county, and the content was about a suspected attack by a ninth-grade monster.

Zhou Chen looked at Qin Hong with doubt, and Qin Hong smiled and said, "You are still too young. You didn't even read the content clearly, but you rushed out to perform the mission. Fortunately, you came back safely. Okay, I'll leave this matter to Wang Yong. You should have a good rest during this time."

Zhou Chen turned and left Qin Hong's room. After leaving, Qin Hong called Wang Yong in, probably to arrange the task.

After Zhou Chen returned to his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed to practice. He was unable to concentrate on his practice because of the distracting thoughts in his mind. Zhou Chen opened his eyes and recalled the scene when he took the task before. Zhou Chen was sure that he was looking at Fenghua County at that time, and he could not be wrong.

But what puzzled him was why Fenghua County finally became the name of another county. Late at night, Zhou Chen tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. He felt that there must be something wrong with this matter.

So he took advantage of Leng Yiyao's rest and left home alone. Qin Hong didn't have a house outside and usually lived in the Demon Suppression Division. When he closed his eyes to practice, Zhou Chen's figure reappeared in the Demon Suppression Division.

Qin Hong, who was practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His door was suddenly kicked open and a man in black rushed in. It was Zhou Chen, but Qin Hong did not recognize him because he was masked.

At this time, Zhou Chen came towards Qin Hong with Ice Soul in his hand. Qin Hong was not afraid at all and just picked up the Demon-Suppressing Sword beside the bed and rushed forward. However, with his seventh-grade strength, he was no match for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen directly swung out a sword energy, and with the blessing of Bingpo, the sword energy directly turned into an ice blade. Qin Hong's seventh-grade strength was no match for it. Although he had raised his sword to block it, the scattered sword energy still directly knocked him flying backwards.

Zhou Chen's body suddenly grew larger and appeared directly in front of him. He then raised his right knee and knocked it directly on his head. Zhou Chen held back and did not kill him, but instead knocked him unconscious.

Then he picked up Qin Hong's storage bag and left quickly.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, the Demon Suppression Guards on duty rushed over. After leaving the Demon Suppression Division, Zhou Chen began to rummage through Qin Hong's storage bag.

After searching for a while, Zhou Chen found about three thousand taels of silver notes and five hundred taels of silver. Zhou Chen put the silver directly into his storage bag without hesitation.

After searching, Zhou Chen found two scrolls in his storage bag. The two scrolls were exactly the same. Zhou Chen opened one of them and the content on it was exactly the same as what he saw today. Then Zhou Chen opened the other scroll and was also shocked after reading the contents on the scroll.

Because the above content is exactly what he saw before, and the location is Fenghua County, "It seems that Qin Hong really deliberately harmed me."

Zhou Chen clenched his fists and punched through a big tree next to him. Then Zhou Chen found a place outside the city and buried the storage bag. Except for the banknotes and silver, Zhou Chen did not keep anything else in the storage bag to avoid being discovered in the future.

After arriving at the Demon Suppression Division the next day, Zhou Chen discovered that although Qin Hong suffered a loss last night, he did not show it. As for the wound on his face, it told the two that it was caused by a fall. Leng Ningshuang did not think much about it, and Zhou Chen smiled in his heart and did not expose him.

Zhou Chen's behavior at this time was the same as before, without any expression of abnormality. He continued to practice and saluted respectfully when he met Qin Hong on weekdays. After all, this was the Demon Suppression Division, and if he wanted to take revenge, he had to wait for an opportunity.

Zhou Chen had also made up his mind. If this guy dared to leave Wu'an County, he would make sure he would not come back alive. However, before that, he could not show any abnormality.

In order to prevent him from suspecting that he was the one who attacked him last night, Zhou Chen was more enthusiastic than usual when he saw Qin Hong these days, and he would even invite him to dinner when he had nothing to do. Three days later, Zhou Chen and his team received a mission, which they did not apply for on their own initiative, but was directly assigned by Qinglong. The content was about Fenghua County, because the Demon Suppression Division sent three Demon Suppression Envoys to investigate.

As a result, after three days of searching, they still couldn't find Fenghua County. Their experience was the same as Leng Ningshuang and her friends had encountered before. After arriving at the place, they couldn't find the location of Fenghua County at all. The location marked on the map was a forest.

Since Zhou Chen had handled this case before and escaped safely, they asked Zhou Chen to lead the way.

Originally, Zhou Chen was scheduled to go alone, but Zhou Chen suggested that Qin Hong go along as well. The purpose was obvious, and in order to avoid suspicion, Leng Ningshuang was also asked to go along.

Wang Yong was unable to go because he was out on a mission. Qinglong discussed this matter with Zhou Chen alone, so Qin Hong and the others did not know what had happened.

Originally, Qin Hong had no plan to leave the city during this period of time, because he had always suspected that the person who had attacked him before was Zhou Chen, but he couldn't say anything because he had no evidence.

However, now that Qinglong had spoken, he had to leave Wu'an County. The three Demon Suppressors did not leave with the three men, but followed them secretly. As for where they were, Qin Hong and the others did not notice.

Zhou Chen could vaguely sense that the three people seemed to have practiced some martial arts that allowed them to conceal their bodies. Even though Zhou Chen was also a sixth-rank martial artist, he would not be able to detect their presence if he did not know about it in advance.

Zhou Chen and the other two soon arrived at Fenghua County again, but what they saw was a forest, not any town.

Leng Ningshuang said, "Brother Chen, we encountered the same situation before, and we couldn't find Fenghua County at all."

At this time, Fenghua County was pitch black, with a blood moon hanging high in the sky. The county magistrate, Lord Xu, was standing under the eaves looking at the moon with a tiny crack. Not long after Zhou Chen left, the blood moon appeared again. He tried to attack again, but with his strength he was unable to shatter the blood moon in the sky.

The people in the city have basically all turned into rat monsters, and only a small number of warriors with strength reaching the ninth rank have survived. At this time, they are all gathered in the county government office, and there are less than twenty people in total.

A warrior of ninth-rank strength could not help Lord Xu at all, but he was fortunate that the rat demon in the city did not attack them like before, but walked around aimlessly in the city.

Lord Xu is fine. Those ninth-rank warriors have only a barely resistant ability to the blood moon. It’s okay for them to stand in the moonlight for a short period of time, but if they stay in the moonlight for a long time, they will turn into rat monsters.

There was not much food in the county government office to begin with, and a lot of it had been eaten by the rat demon in the past two days, leaving even less for them. The food now was only enough to barely last them two days. If the matter was not resolved after two days, they would starve to death.

Six hours later it was already dark outside the city. Zhou Chen and the other two were standing there with their eyes closed, concentrating, when suddenly a mist appeared in the woods.

The three of them were not really asleep. They woke up the moment the fog appeared. Zhou Chen looked at the fog that was less than one meter away from view, while Leng Ningshuang immediately called the two of them.

At this time, Zhou Chen could no longer detect the three demon-suppressing envoys in the dark. Zhou Chen agreed to Leng Ningshuang and then looked at the fog in front of him and remembered something. Then, as soon as Zhou Chen thought of it, a two-meter-tall wooden man appeared in front of him. Zhou Chen found Leng Ningshuang with the wooden man. Leng Ningshuang was about to attack the wooden man behind Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen stopped her quickly.
