Chapter 168 Trap
What Zhou Chen didn't expect was that after returning home, Leng Yiyao actually broke through to the sixth level. Zhou Chen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He immediately activated his skills to check. Unexpectedly, he really reached the sixth level with ten years of skills.
"You are so amazing. You have reached the sixth level in such a short time."
"How can I be inferior to Brother Chen?"
Zhou Chen reached out and touched his head and said with a smile, "Okay, we are all powerful." Leng Yiyao, who has now reached the sixth level, is in urgent need of a secret manual of martial arts to practice. Zhou Chen thought about it and decided to teach him the God-Slaying Technique.
Leng Yiyao was also very smart. He memorized the formulas of the martial arts in just one afternoon. As for when he could master it, it all depended on himself.
Now Zhou Chen can already add demon patterns to him, but what makes him speechless is that he doesn't have any extra demon patterns for him, "Forget it, I'll go out and look for it during this time to see if I can find a sixth-grade demon beast."
Sixth-grade monsters are already considered very rare. On the Wuhua Mountain outside Wu'an County, it seems that only four demon kings are sixth-grade, but they were killed by Zhou Chen early on. Now the strongest on the mountain is only seventh-grade.
If you want to obtain more demon patterns, you must go farther away. There are many primeval forests within the territory of Daxia, where powerful demon beasts live. There are even some cities in some remote places, which are inhabited by demons. After all, Daxia's territory is vast and it is impossible to take care of all places.
Even some of the small countries surrounding Daxia are made up of demon tribes, including some powerful ones, and even legendary first-grade demon beasts. As long as Zhou Chen is determined to search for high-quality demon patterns, it is easy to obtain them.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chen decided that after the Li family’s affairs were resolved, he would take Leng Yiyao away for a while to search for suitable demon patterns.
For some reason, the Li family has been much more low-key during this period. They even took the initiative to give up some remote industries and gathered all the members of the family in Wu'an County.
Outsiders were wondering why the Li family did this, but Zhou Chen knew it very well. The deaths of the head of the family, Li Mu, and the white-haired old man, Li Peisong, had dealt a great blow to the Li family. Now the Li family only had one fifth-grade warrior and a small number of sixth-grade warriors left.
If their power is further dispersed, they will probably be close to destruction. Seeing this, the Wang family, which has always been in a hostile relationship with them, did not sit idle and immediately began to suppress them.
In just ten days, they lost most of their properties in Wu'an County, and even there were only a few sixth-grade warriors left.
At this time, Li Yun was sitting on the main seat in the Li family's meeting hall with a gloomy face, and below him were the senior members of the Li family.
"The Wang family has gone too far. They are such cowards who take advantage of others' misfortunes. If the head of the family and the ancestor were still alive, they would not dare to do this."
There was a lot of noise below, all filled with curses. Li Yun felt overwhelmed after listening to it. "Okay, there's no point saying anything now. Let's think about what to do next."
When they were asked to find a solution, everyone shut up. Li Mu looked at the clansmen below and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
At this time, an old man stepped forward and said, "In my opinion, we should make peace with the Wang family and give up some interests in exchange for a chance to breathe." This remark immediately aroused dissatisfaction among others, but Li Yun slammed the table and said, "Okay, this is the best way now." Then he selected a mature and steady member of the clan to go and talk to the Wang family.
On Zhou Chen's side, Leng Yiyao had already mastered the God-killing Technique after a few days of practice, and her strength was improving day by day. At this time, Leng Ningshuang walked in.
Zhou Chen hurriedly asked him to sit in, but Leng Ningshuang brought him some bad news. "Bai Hu ordered you to stay at the Li family for a few days. The lord said that the Li family's business was attacked by criminals and suffered heavy losses during this period. He asked you to go and protect the safety of the Li family." In a fight between two big families like this, the Demon Suppression Division and the city lord would not intervene, and even the county magistrate would not ask about it. It was the Wang family that attacked the Li family, and Zhou Chen was a guest of the Wang family. It was obvious that Bai Hu did this with bad intentions.
Seeing the change on Zhou Chen's face, Leng Ningshuang said, "Lord Baihu obviously has some ulterior motive in doing this, but you can't refuse," and then she came to Zhou Chen's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, a smile immediately broke out on Zhou Chen's face, "Haha, okay, I'll do as you say." Then Zhou Chen first went to Wang's house and explained the situation to Wang Liu.
"What Zhou Keqing is doing at the Demon Suppression Division is clearly against the rules. Can't you refuse this mission?"
Zhou Chen spread his hands helplessly and said, "This is Lord Baihu's intention and there is nothing I can do about it. But you can rest assured that I will not harm the Wang family's guest officials."
After leaving Wang's house, Zhou Chen went directly to Li's house. What he didn't expect was that Li Yun actually greeted him personally at the door. Although he knew that it was Zhou Chen who killed the ancestor and Li Mu, he could not show any dissatisfaction now.
The clan member who was sent to negotiate with the Wang family last night failed to reach an agreement and had one of his legs broken. Li Yun also completely gave up the idea of peace and then used the Li family's trump card.
The Li family's trump card is the White Tiger of the Demon Suppression Division. In his early years, the White Tiger had received favors from the Li family's ancestor and promised to help the Li family once when they were in danger.
After Zhou Chen was warmly entertained, he was arranged to stay in the guest room. Li Yun didn't ask Zhou Chen to do anything, just to stay there. If he felt bored, he could even bring Leng Yiyao along. Zhou Chen naturally would not agree to this, after all, he had a grudge against the Li family.
Late at night, when Zhou Chen was practicing martial arts, he suddenly felt that the internal energy was not flowing smoothly, as if something was blocking his meridians. At the same time, a man in black came to the Wang family. His purpose was very clear, and he went straight to the residence of the head of the family, Wang Liu.
At this time, a large number of masters had gathered outside Zhou Chen's door. All the remaining sixth-grade warriors in the mansion had been dispatched, including Li Yun. They did not wear night clothes because they felt it was unnecessary since Zhou Chen would not be able to escape tonight anyway.
A dark true energy suddenly appeared in Zhou Chen's meridians in the room, and the moment it came out it wantonly destroyed his meridians. Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly circulated his true energy to suppress it.
After ten minutes of effort, he finally suppressed the black energy. However, the energy was too huge and he needed to suppress it with all his strength. If there was any danger at this time, he would not be able to mobilize too much energy to defend against the enemy.
However, at this moment he suddenly thought of something. Since he came here to protect the Li family, he thought that the Li family would not be stupid enough to attack him now, so he did not pay attention while eating.
Now it seems that the Li family really doesn't care anymore. Just as he thought of this, the door was kicked open by someone, and the person who kicked the door was none other than Li Yun.
"Brother Zhou, prepare to die," he said, pointing his fingers at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen felt the danger coming before he could say anything, and immediately stood up and jumped high, breaking through the roof and landing on the roof.
As soon as he jumped up, he saw a white arrow made of true energy shooting into the house, and with a bang, a big hole was blasted out in the room.
At the same time, Li Yun also came to the roof, and the surrounding white true energy slowly merged into Li Yun's body, "You didn't expect that I would choose to attack you now."
