Chapter 221 Interception halfway
It was just a casual question, but he didn't expect that the witch actually knew it. "I have seen it, but the two maps were taken away by the adults. They said they were going to give it to the domain lord as a gift."
"What?" Zhou Chen was so angry that he crushed his neck on the spot, then quietly left the City Lord's Mansion. When he returned to his mansion, Xiaohu came to greet him.
"Brother Zhou, how are you? Did you find the things?"
Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention it, that bastard actually gave the thing to the domain lord as a gift."
Hearing the word "Domain Lord", Xiaohu's body trembled slightly, "If that's the case, then don't even think about it."
"'Why'?"
"The Territory Lord is very powerful, and he is the strongest man in the Qiushan Territory. His strength has even reached the third rank, and he is not someone you can provoke."
Zhou Chen hid his identity and sneaked into Qiufeng City just for this map. Now that he has received the news, it would be a waste if he gave up because of this. Then Zhou Chen asked about the news about the domain lord.
Although he was shocked by Zhou Chen's courage, he still told Zhou Chen the situation. Although the domain lord's mansion was within the domain, it could not be found on the map because ordinary people could not find it or enter it.
Xiaohu was also fortunate enough to have followed the previous city lord to the domain lord's mansion, and only then did he know a little secret: the location was in the wasteland nine thousand miles away from Qiufeng City.
Zhou Chen asked curiously, "Is it that simple?"
Xiaohu rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile, "It's not that simple. The Domain Lord is a third-grade monster and has mastered the power of space. The entrance to his mansion is on the wasteland, but ordinary people won't be able to find it even if they go there, because his mansion is built in another space. Unless the Domain Lord approves, even a fourth-grade peak monster won't be able to find the entrance."
Zhou Chen nodded, "I see," and then asked Xiaohu to mark his approximate location on the map.
"Brother Zhou, you don't really want to go, do you? I advise you to think twice before you act. Although Xuanbing is rare, it is not as important as your own life, right?"
"Brother Hu, you misunderstood. Why would I provoke the Domain Lord? But I will snatch the things away before Wang Meng arrives."
"Wang Meng must have brought a lot of experts with him this time. How about I go with you?"
After hearing his words, Zhou Chen directly refused, "No need, just stay and recuperate. As for Wang Meng, I have my own way to deal with him."
Afterwards, no matter how Xiaohu insisted, Zhou Chen did not agree to let him go. Zhou Chen did not delay and left Qiufeng City half an hour later.
Although Wang Meng set out early in the morning, he did not master the power of space, so it would take some time for him to reach the point nine thousand kilometers away.
Zhou Chen directly opened the space crack and reached a point five hundred miles away in just a few seconds. With Zhou Chen's current skills, it would be no problem for him to travel through it ten times in a row. In just one minute, Zhou Chen arrived five thousand kilometers away.
No matter how fast Wang Meng was, he was now far behind. After ten times of traveling, Zhou Chen's internal energy of more than 2,300 years was exhausted.
Zhou Chen randomly found a piece of open space and began to practice to recover his true Qi. According to his speed, he could recover 10% of his power in an hour. With the help of the magical power of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower, it only took him an hour to recover all the lost true Qi.
After recovering to his peak condition, Zhou Chen began to calculate Wang Meng's speed. As a cultivator at the peak of the fourth level, Wang Meng must have a magical body movement ability that allows him to travel at least 150 miles in an hour. According to this calculation, it would take him at least 30 hours to get to him.
Zhou Chen deliberately found an open place to stop so that he could be seen by Wang Meng when he passed by. However, it was still early now and Zhou Chen did not go back. He stayed here and waited for him. It would be easier to wait for him when the time came.
Wang Meng didn't know that there was danger waiting for him ahead, and he was still dreaming in his mind. The Domain Lord was an ice-attributed demon. After getting the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice map, Wang Meng didn't think of giving it to Zhou Chen, but wanted to present it to the Domain Lord. Of course, this was not given for nothing. He wanted to use this map to exchange for a Wind Spirit Pearl. The method that City Lord Guo used to refine the Thunder Spirit Pearl was given by the Domain Lord.
Now that he had a complete Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice Map, and a successfully refined Thunder Spirit Pearl could be exchanged for a refined Wind Spirit Pearl, his power would be greatly enhanced. Not to mention a breakthrough to the third rank, he would at least be able to reach the level of half a step to the third rank.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. The several masters following him couldn't help but groan and had to speed up their flying speed. From the ground, they saw several streaks of light passing through the sky and disappearing.
They did not stop along the way until ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, when Zhou Chen finally saw several streaks of light in the sky. Through his eyes of insight, Zhou Chen saw the appearance of the people coming. It was Wang Meng and several of his men.
Zhou Chen sneered and the true energy in his body surged. At this time, he no longer concealed his human breath. Wang Meng, who was on his way, suddenly noticed the human breath in front of him. Then he quickly took out a few pills from the storage ring and swallowed them, and at the same time threw a few pills to the monsters behind him.
Zhou Chen did not take the initiative to attack, but just waited for Wang Meng to arrive. When he got closer, Wang Meng was shocked when he saw the person blocking his way. "Brother Zhou, why is it you? Aren't you in Qiufengcheng? Why are you here? What's going on with the aura on you?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "How come Wang Meng eats so much white meat every day that he can't even smell the human scent?"
Although they couldn't believe it, after hearing Zhou Chen admit it himself, the monsters behind Wang Meng were all shocked, "What, Deputy City Lord, you are actually a human."
Zhou Chen didn't have the time to deal with them. He simply stretched out his right hand and said, "You are all smart people. Sir, please hand over your things."
"what"?
"Don't play dumb anymore about the map of Yin Yang Xuan Bing. I know you have it in your hands."
After his lie was exposed, Wang Meng simply stopped pretending and said, "Haha, yes, the map is in my hands, but don't even think about it."
Zhou Chen put on a sneer and said, "Hmph, it seems we have to take action." The true energy in his body burst out instantly, and countless flying swords appeared behind Zhou Chen in an instant.
Wang Meng's expression changed slightly, "What a strong sword intent!", then he waved his hand and the eight fifth-grade monsters behind him immediately rushed towards Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen sneered and activated the Sword Controlling Technique. Flying swords shot out from behind him like rain. Even with the fifth-grade strength, they were unable to withstand the attack of the flying swords. Their protective demonic energy was instantly defeated.
They were all killed in one encounter, but the flying sword continued to fly towards Wang Meng with undiminished power.
Shocked by Zhou Chen's strength, Wang Meng directly used all his strength. He raised his hand and the sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds wrinkled. A giant tornado appeared in his field of vision. The tornado was about a hundred meters wide and high, and there was no end in sight. All the white clouds above the sky were shattered by the strong wind.
The flying sword flew in front of him and was actually carried away from its original trajectory by the tornado. The flying sword was directly carried away by the tornado and began to spin.
Zhou Chen was surprised, "Oh, I still underestimated you." Then he saw Zhou Chen make a sword gesture with both hands, then raised his hand and the flying sword that was sucked into the tornado immediately escaped from Wang Meng's control.
