Chapter 225 The Territory Lord Arrives
"You are a piece of trash. You can't even keep a secret book. What use am I having you?"

Niu Qiong smiled and said, "Brother He, don't say that. Ming didn't mean it. Don't worry, as long as he is in my territory, he can't escape. I will send people to search for him right away."

He Shao looked at his son angrily and said, "Get out of here now." He Ming ran out immediately after hearing that. He Shao's aura was too strong and he didn't pay attention just now. The moment he turned around and went out, he saw several charred bodies lying at the door.

These entities were all the lackeys that He Ming had brought with him before. He did not show too much surprise about this. He had seen this kind of scene many times. It was nothing more than finding a few more lackeys.

After He Ming left, Niu Qiong waved her hand gently, and several little demons quietly walked into the living room and quickly cleaned up the corpse on the ground.

An hour later, the banquet ended. He Ming also brought a portrait and then followed He Shao out of the City Lord's Mansion.

After they left, Niu Qiong opened the portrait and took a look. He found that the person in the portrait was Zhou Chen. Niu Qiong couldn't help but touch his chest. The wound on his chest was still aching.

He then called his men over and asked them to take the portrait to search the city. However, he did not arrest the man immediately after finding him. Instead, he asked them to observe secretly and then come back to tell him.

A fourth-grade warrior's strength is enough to severely injure a third-grade warrior like himself. Even the human Niu Qiong admires him very much.

After wandering around outside for a day, Zhou Chen had a clear understanding of the situation around the Domain Lord's Mansion. The biggest problem now was that he didn't know where the two maps were. If they were hidden in the mansion, it would be fine, but if the Domain Lord carried them with him, it would be troublesome.

The domain lord's men were also efficient and found Zhou Chen's residence in the evening. They had no portrait in hand, and this was someone else's territory, so it would be difficult not to find him. After finding the place, they did not keep an eye on it, but said a few words to the innkeeper and then left.

When he went back to report, he happened to meet Wang Meng who was there too. Wang Meng had made great contribution in presenting the map and was now highly valued by Niu Qiong. Niu Qiong did not let him avoid the question and said directly, "If you are not an outsider, just say it directly."

"Domain Lord, we have found Zhou Chen's residence at Yong'an Inn," Wang Meng was shocked after hearing this, "How dare that kid come to Domain City?"

After hearing this, Wang Meng immediately requested, "Domain Lord, I will bring people to capture him for you tonight."

The domain master smiled and shook his head and said, "No, this kid is very talented. Go and give him a message tonight for me." Then he whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Meng was even more shocked, "What? The Domain Lord is a human. Would you do this?"
The domain master glared at him and said, "Just go when I told you to go. Why are you doubting me?"
Wang Meng was shocked and quickly knelt down and said, "I know I was wrong. I will do it right away."

Zhou Chen was practicing late at night when suddenly the door was pushed open. Zhou Chen woke up in shock and appeared directly in front of the person. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Zhou Chen struck out with a palm without hesitation.

Wang Meng quickly said, "Brother Zhou, please don't do anything if you misunderstand me."

Zhou Chen's outstretched palm stopped in mid-air, and a thin layer of frost formed on Wang Meng's face. Wang Meng used his magic power to melt the frost on his face.

"I'm not here to cause you any trouble this time. I'm just here to bring a message from the Domain Lord."

Although they knew that today's incident would not be so easy to get over and that there would definitely be trouble afterwards, they did not expect it to come so soon.

"Oh, really? I wonder what message the Domain Lord asked you to convey to me?"
Wang Meng cleared his throat and said, "The lord said that he will let bygones be bygones for what happened before. Seeing that you have great talent, he will be reluctant to kill you. As long as you are willing to submit to him, it doesn't matter even if you are a human. As long as you are willing to submit to the domain lord, he can give you whatever you want."

Zhou Chen laughed when he heard it and said, "Then I want the map of Yin Yang Mysterious Ice. Is he willing to give it to me?"
I thought Wang Meng would go berserk, but he smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but in order to test whether you are really willing to surrender, the city lord wants you to kill 100 human beings with your own hands to prove it." He originally wanted to pretend to surrender, but as a condition, he was asked to do such a thing. Zhou Chen decisively refused, "Okay, go back and tell your master, it's impossible."

"Can you say that again".

"impossible".

"Don't be shameless. The Domain Lord thinks highly of you and is willing to give you this opportunity. If it were someone else, even if he knelt on the ground and begged, the Domain Lord would not even look at him."

"In that case, let's see who is willing to go find who." Then the icy energy in his body burst out and directly forced Wang Meng out. Only then did he realize that there was someone else outside the door besides Wang Meng.

Wang Meng said to the guy next to him, "Brother Shen, you heard everything. This guy didn't want to do it. I didn't make things difficult for him."

"Hmph, you don't even dare to refuse the Domain Lord." As he was about to step forward to attack, Wang Meng stopped him quickly and said, "Brother Shen, don't get excited. Have you forgotten what the Domain Lord said? Let's go back and report the situation to the Domain Lord and see how he will deal with him."

Then Wang Meng took him away. Zhou Chen was puzzled and said, "This domain lord is really weird. He actually wants to recruit me."

He originally wanted to change inn, but then he thought that others would find him in less than half a day, and he would still not be able to hide even if he changed places, unless he left the city. However, he could not leave for the time being before he got the things, so Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and continued to stay there.

According to the routine, since I rejected him this time, he shouldn't turn hostile immediately. Instead, he should increase the stakes to tempt me, so I am safe for the time being.

After the two returned to the domain lord, they repeated what had happened. The domain lord did not show any anger after listening. Wang Meng immediately said, "Sir, that guy actually dared to refuse you. It's clearly a slap in your face. In my opinion, you should just kill him directly."

The domain master waved his hand and said, "No, there's no rush. You have to be patient with talented people. Go find him again tomorrow and ask him to think about it carefully. We can discuss the terms later."

Although he was reluctant, Wang Meng had to agree to withdraw since the domain lord had spoken.

The next day, Zhou Chen was about to go out, but he ran into Wang Meng again. "Brother Wang, why are you here again? Are you here to take action or to be a lobbyist?"
"The Domain Lord said that he will treat what happened last night as if nothing happened. He will give you one more chance to think about it carefully."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't think about it, I won't harm the human race, you can go."

Wang Meng did not get angry and turned around to leave. At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Chen was eating in the lobby of the inn. What he did not expect was that the domain lord Niu Qiong actually walked in with his men.

Zhou Chen turned around and left when he saw this, but as soon as he stood up, Niu Qiong said, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Brother Zhou?" Hearing Niu Qiong's voice, everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "Greetings, Domain Lord." The Domain Lord ignored them and just waved his hand. The little demons immediately stood up and ran out.

Niu Qiong came directly and sat down opposite Zhou Chen. Just a moment ago, he was planning to use the power of space to leave here, but in an instant he felt a strong force of space emanating from the surroundings.

Although he failed to restrain his own spatial force, Zhou Chen knew that it was impossible for him to escape through the spatial force because Niu Qiong's spatial force was definitely superior to his and he could not run away.

"Brother Zhou, don't stand, come and sit down," Zhou Chen sat down with his head held high. "It's not that we can't discuss it, but you also know that I am a human. It's really too much to ask me to kill a hundred humans with my own hands."
