Chapter 166: Proud Dragon Tour
At the same time, the three words "Ao Long You" appeared on his panel. Zhou Chen used up his accumulated strengthening points without hesitation, which was just enough for one upgrade. Instantly, the memory of practicing Ao Long You flooded into his mind.
After the memory was received, his Ao Long You reached the entry level. Although he had not used it yet, Zhou Chen was sure that the power of this entry-level Ao Long You was comparable to that of the perfect level Feng Yun Dao.
When Zhou Chen was free, he took out the jade pendant that Leng Ningshuang gave him. Although he didn't say it at the time, Zhou Chen recognized the jade pendant. He flipped it and an identical jade pendant appeared in his hand. This jade pendant was taken out of Li Mu's storage ring. Now he has two storage rings in his hand.
Storage rings are different from storage bags. They cannot be used without true qi. Moreover, storage rings are extremely rare even in Wu'an County. The gold and silver in Zhou Chen's storage ring may not be enough to buy a storage ring.
"It seems that the Li family is behind this matter, but why do they have to kill Cheng Yaolin? Is Cheng Yaolin just a cover, and the real mastermind behind the girl's disappearance is someone from the Li family?"
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Chen couldn't figure out why the Li family did this, so he simply stopped thinking about it. However, he had to resolve the feud with the Li family. He would not let the Li family go just because Li Mu was dead.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the third day after Cheng Yaolin's death. There had indeed been no reports of missing girls in the past few days, and it seemed that everything was back on track.
That night, Zhou Chen was practicing after dinner, while Leng Yiyao was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. Suddenly, Zhou Chen heard Leng Yiyao scream.
Zhou Chen opened his eyes and appeared in front of Leng Yiyao the moment he asked, "What's wrong?"
"A white shadow just flashed past the window," he said, pointing outside the window.
Zhou Chen frowned and activated the Eye of Extreme. In an instant, everything around him appeared in his eyes. There was no other living creature in the entire yard except the two of them.
"It's okay, you're just dazzled. Go and have a rest. I'll take care of the rest."
The next day, as Qinglong had to leave for a while due to something, the affairs of Qinglong Hall were temporarily handed over to Baihu. These matters had nothing to do with him, a small follower, so he didn't take them to heart. As a result, he received an order the next day saying that a large number of human skeletons had appeared in Wuhua Mountain outside the city, and it was suspected that some evil cultivators were practicing evil skills on the mountain, so the 19th team was specially dispatched to search for them.
Zhou Chen frowned after receiving the order. Logically speaking, this matter should not fall on them. According to the usual rules, they have completed their mission for this month, and normally they should not have any more missions. However, Baihu was firm in his attitude and said that other teams all had missions to complete, and only their Team 19 was idle, so the matter fell on them.
Zhou Chen had no way to deal with this. As for the reason he gave, Zhou Chen just treated it as nonsense. Zhou Chen was not blind. There were many teams that had no missions to complete.
Zhou Chen, Wang Yong and Leng Ningshuang soon arrived at Wuhua Mountain. They first went to the place where a large number of human bones were found.
Although they had been prepared, they were still shocked by the scene before them when they arrived at the place, because there were so many of them that they could not imagine. A whole area was filled with human bones, and they had seen scattered human bones on the mountain road before they entered here.
"Damn it! These evil cultivators deserve to die." As soon as these words were spoken, a voice came from a distance.
"My friend, you are right, these people deserve to die."
Hearing this, the three of them immediately turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard standing behind them.
Leng Ningshuang asked, "Old man, what are you doing here? It's dangerous on the mountain, so you should go down early." "Haha, no hurry, I will leave after I finish my business."
Zhou Chen said, "Please do as you please, but don't interfere with our investigation."
Unexpectedly, the old man said, "I'm afraid I have to apologize today. The purpose of my coming here today is to take your head." Then he pointed his finger at Zhou Chen.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yong and the other man both held their knives, ready to attack at any time, "Old sir, you are from the Li family, right?"
"Haha, I'm a smart old man like Li Peisong. It was you who killed my friend Mu'er, right?"
The Mu'er he mentioned was naturally Li Mu, but with Wang Yong and the other two present, Zhou Chen naturally couldn't admit it. "Old sir, you have misunderstood. Although the head of the Li family and I have some grudges, I would not kill him. Besides, the head of the Li family has a high level of cultivation. How could I be his opponent?"
Li Peisong's eyes suddenly turned cold and he pointed at Zhou Chen, "If you hadn't killed him, then why would Mu'er's storage ring be in your hand?" After hearing this, Wang Yong and the others looked at the ring on Zhou Chen's hand. They were not curious whether Zhou Chen killed Li Mu, but the storage ring was too rare. They just wanted to see what this legendary storage ring looked like. As for Li Mu's life or death, they didn't care.
"Huh, can't I just pick this thing up?"
"Do you think I will believe it?" As he said that, he waved his hand and a black vortex appeared behind Leng Ningshuang and the other two. Then a bony hand appeared in the black vortex and directly grabbed the two and pulled them into the vortex.
By the time Zhou Chen found out, the two had already been captured. A piece of icy spirit appeared in Zhou Chen's right hand, "Where did you take them, old man?"
As he spoke, the Fengyun Sword condensed and chopped down. The white-haired old man sneered and spread his hands. Several thick bone spurs grew on the ground beside him, and the bone spurs crossed out and directly blocked the Fengyun Sword.
And it even blocked most of his coldness. Looking at the bone spurs that had turned into frost in front of him, the old man laughed and said, "Haha, as expected, you kid really got the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a bone sword in the void. The bone sword was covered in black light and stabbed out. The powerful sword energy pierced through the frozen bone spur and went straight towards Zhou Chen.
"What a strange true energy, you are the man in black that night." The sword energy pierced the water realm but did not hurt Zhou Chen at all. The old man then broke through the bone spurs and came above Zhou Chen. He had wings on his back and looked coldly at Zhou Chen below.
"So what if it's me? You're going to die anyway." The old man's strength has reached the peak of the fifth level. Although Zhou Chen is a little inferior to him, he is not afraid at all.
Humph, the outcome is not yet decided, old man, don't be so arrogant, Zhou Chen was about to rush towards him, but he saw him grab the void with his left hand, and countless bone spurs emerged directly from the ground. The intricate bone spurs directly bound Zhou Chen to the ground. If it were not for the protection of the water realm, he would have been crushed to pieces by the bone spurs.
Then he held the sword in both hands and stabbed towards Zhou Chen. Dozens of black whirlpools appeared behind him, and dozens of bone spurs shot out from them and stabbed Zhou Chen below.
After a loud bang, all the bone spurs had pierced into the ground, "humph ants".
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cold air burst out, and the surrounding bone spurs instantly froze. With a swipe of the sword, the surrounding bone spurs all turned into ice chips all over the sky.
Zhou Chen's body also rushed towards him with his feet on the void. Seeing this, Li Peisong's internal energy kept moving, and his martial arts were activated again. A huge black vortex appeared behind him, and a huge bone eagle flew out of it and rushed towards Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen stepped on the Void Phantom Killer and swung out with a knife, directly chopping off its head. However, the bone eagle did not die after losing its head. After retreating more than ten meters, it continued to pounce on Zhou Chen.
Although the previous attack caused some of his bones to freeze, it did not cause him to lose his combat effectiveness.
