Chapter 216 Long term plan
Just as he was about to get closer, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the courtyard, and within this aura was a hint of thunder power.

"Who dares to break into my mansion?"
Zhou Chen was startled when he heard the voice, and then he disappeared in a flash. The moment Zhou Chen left, City Lord Guo appeared in Zhou Chen's original position.

Many guarding monsters were half-kneeling on the ground below, and City Lord Guo said coldly, "Did you sense the presence of a stranger just now?"
"Your Excellency, we didn't notice it."

"Strengthen the defense," he said and went straight back to his room.

At this time, Zhou Chen appeared on the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion. "This guy is really cautious. I didn't expect that even if I concealed my breath, I couldn't escape his perception. It seems I have to make a long-term plan."

On the second day, a female demon was walking on the street of Qiufeng City, followed by several powerful monsters. The ordinary monsters on the street lowered their heads when they saw her coming, not daring to look at her for fear of angering this guy.

The banshee was wandering aimlessly, and many things in the roadside stalls caught her attention. She searched for a while and did not choose to buy, but took them away directly. The vendors did not dare to say much, and could only pray silently in their hearts that the girl took the things and left quickly.

Suddenly, the banshee took advantage of the guards behind her not paying attention and turned around and went into a small alley. Seeing this, the guards immediately chased after her.

The alley was narrow, and the banshees shuttled back and forth inside before running off into the distance. The vendors felt relieved only after the banshees had gone far away.

The streets returned to their former tranquility. At this time, a masked man walked out of the alley. After looking into the distance and making sure it was safe, he took off the mask on his head.

"Hey, finally got rid of them all," and then walked in another direction.

In a civilian's home, a young male demon was walking around in the room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The man smiled and quickly opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a woman threw herself into his arms, "Brother Jackal".

"Fox sister, you are finally here, no one followed you, right?"
"Don't worry, I have left those idiots behind."

At this time, Zhou Chen, who was not far away, was watching this scene silently, with a sneer on his face.

Just as they were about to communicate further, the door was suddenly kicked open. The male demon was startled and immediately hid behind the woman.

"You bold jackal, how dare you defile our young lady?"

The woman was frightened at first, but she immediately calmed herself down and angrily said to the person who came, "Xiao Hu, you have such a guts, get out of here!"

Although the monster called Xiaohu did not dare to retort, it did not do as he wished. Instead, it waved its hand, and the subordinates behind it immediately understood and stepped forward to capture the jackal monster.

The woman wanted to stop him, but the tiger demon grabbed her wrist and pulled her out. Although she tried her best to resist, her strength was no match for the tiger demon.

Seeing that the woman was unable to protect herself, the jackal demon uttered a cruel word and escaped through the window. Upon seeing this, the other demons immediately chased after him. It must be said that although the jackal demon's strength was not that great, his ability to escape was amazing.

The tiger demon said directly, "The master said that this beast must be killed today."

"Xiaohu, you are brave, don't hurt him."

"Miss, I'm sorry, this is the city lord's intention. If you have any questions, please go and discuss it with the city lord."

As he said this, he asked two of his men to take the banshee away, and he then chased after her with his men.

The jackal monster was extremely fast, and even though Xiaohu was already a fifth-grade monster, he couldn't catch up with it for a while. When he was about to escape from Qiufeng City, a man appeared in front of him, and before he could react, he had been grabbed by the neck.

The person who stopped him was Zhou Chen. The jackal struggled hard but still couldn't break free from Zhou Chen's wrist.

At this time, Xiaohu and his men caught up. Seeing this, Zhou Chen threw him over. Xiaohu stretched out an arm without hesitation and pierced his chest on the spot.

The jackal demon lay on the ground and twitched a few times before becoming motionless. Looking at the dead jackal demon, Xiaohu stepped forward and said, "Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid this guy would have run away again."

"It's just a piece of cake, you don't have to be polite, Brother Hu." At this time, Zhou Chen's body exuded a strong demonic aura. Although Xiaohu couldn't see his strength, he was definitely stronger than himself.

"Is this brother a demon from Qiufeng City?"
"I am a random demon. I heard that the city lord loves talents, so I wanted to try my luck. I just don't know if the city lord will take a liking to me, a random demon."

After sensing the demonic aura on Zhou Chen, Xiaohu had already developed the intention of winning him over. Now, hearing what Zhou Chen said, he immediately smiled and said, "If you really have this intention, brother, I can introduce someone to you."

After some polite exchanges, Zhou Chen followed Xiaohu to the City Lord's Mansion, and the jackal monster's body was taken back by his men.

Xiaohu brought Zhou Chen directly to the city lord. At this time, the banshee was here with the city lord, "Brother, why did you send people to kill Brother Jackal?"
"Xiao Rou, I'm doing this for your own good. That guy approached you for a purpose."

"What purpose could there be? We truly love each other."

At this time, Xiaohu walked in, holding the body of the jackal demon in his hand. Xiaorou burst into tears when she saw it, and immediately ran towards Xiaohu. Seeing this, the city lord waved his hand and a burst of demonic power surged out, directly trapping his sister in place.

"Well done, Xiaohu. You finally killed this scourge for me." Seeing the body of the jackal monster being thrown to the ground, the city lord simply waved his hand and sent out a bolt of lightning, and the body of the jackal monster was smashed to pieces on the spot.

Xiaorou, who was standing far away, fainted upon seeing this, but was protected by the city lord's magical power and did not fall to the ground.

"Sir, this time we were able to successfully kill this guy thanks to a brother," and then he shouted to the outside of the door, "Brother Zhou, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen walked in. After coming in, Zhou Chen bowed and said, "I am Zhou Chen, meeting the City Lord."

The city lord felt the powerful demonic power of Zhou Chen and immediately smiled. The moment Zhou Chen came in, Xiaohu had secretly sent a message to the city lord and explained everything.

However, he did not point it out directly, but waited for Zhou Chen to say it himself. The city lord first said a few polite words, and then after a conversation, he roughly understood Zhou Chen's situation.

According to Zhou Chen, he had offended a big demon outside the city and had no place to stay, so he came to him and planned to take refuge with him.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Chen directly took out half of the map. It was fine at first, but after seeing the map, the city lord immediately revealed a smile that was difficult to conceal on his face.

"Brother Zhou, are you really willing to give this map to me?"
"Of course. Since I'm coming here for refuge, I naturally have to bring some gifts."

Seeing the map handed to him, the city lord looked at it carefully, and then said directly, "Brother Zhou, from today on you are the deputy city lord of Qiufeng City."

Not only him, even the tiger demon was shocked. The fox demon asked, "City Lord, what about the deputy city lord?"
"Yes, City Lord, if I become the deputy city lord, then the previous deputy city lord will hate me to death. City Lord, you can't harm me."
