Chapter 230 Design
Then the domain lord just patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said, "As long as you sincerely surrender to me, I can give you everything." Then he left Zhou Chen.

After the domain lord left, Wang Meng also quietly left the place. That night the banshee returned to Niu Qiong and asked, "How is it?"
"The King's poison has entered your body. In half a month at most you will be able to obtain the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice."

Upon hearing this, Niu Qiong immediately laughed out loud. What the two of them did not expect was that in an inconspicuous corner of the room, there was a finger-sized dimensional crack. Zhou Chen was on the other side of the crack, listening carefully to their conversation with his ears.

Zhou Chen covered his chest and coughed, "Huh, as expected, this Niu Qiong really has bad intentions." Since the second day Zhou Chen entered the Domain Lord's Mansion, Niu Qiong has been poisoning his food. At first Zhou Chen didn't notice it, but later Zhou Chen felt that his body seemed to be undergoing subtle changes, and Zhou Chen began to suspect that someone was secretly poisoning him.

Afterwards, Zhou Chen would pretend to finish eating the food every time, and then secretly spit it out into the alien space. This kind of thing was not a problem at all for him who had strong internal strength.

After this period of treatment, the poison in his body was almost cured. It was not until today when he heard the conversation between the two that he confirmed that it was Niu Qiong who was dealing with him. Before, he thought that someone in the Domain Lord's Mansion could not stand his identity as a human.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "How despicable! It turns out you are coveting the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice in my body. Humph Niu Qiong, you are too greedy. Having the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice is not enough, you even want mine."

Zhou Chen seemed to have thought of something when he said this, "That's not right, didn't he say that each person can only absorb one piece of black ice? Why would he do such a thing?"

During this period of time, Zhou Chen also secretly investigated, and the result was just as he said, a person can only absorb one piece of black ice. Zhou Chen thought about it and there was only one conclusion, that is, the skills that Niu Qiong mentioned were in the Domain Lord's Mansion, and it was possible that Niu Qiong was practicing it.

Zhou Chen then returned to his room. Although Niu Qiong had said that she would give the banshee to him, Zhou Chen did not want it. Instead, he asked her to go back. The banshee did not say much and just left him.

On He Shao's side, after He Shao learned what He Ming had done, he angrily said to He Ming, "Why did you do such a stupid thing, you idiot?"
He Ming knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I let Uncle Sun go."

He Shao shook his head and said, "Some things are not as simple as you think. The fact that Zhou Chen was chosen by Niu Qiong makes him an ordinary guy. According to the information I got, Zhou Chen is extremely powerful. Although he has just entered the fourth rank, his strength is enough to easily kill a warrior at the peak of the fourth rank."

He Ming was a little shocked, "What? His strength obviously doesn't seem to be strong?"
"What do you know, useless thing? Can't others hide their aura? Sun Wu hasn't come back for so long, he probably won't be able to come back."

At this moment, a crack in the void suddenly appeared in the room of the two. Thinking that Niu Qiong had come, He Shao immediately said with a smile, "Brother Niu, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

However, what he didn't expect was that the person who walked out was Zhou Chen.

He Ming was shocked, "Why is it you?"

He Ming wanted to say something rude, but was slapped in the face by He Shao. "Brother Zhou is really good at hiding his secrets. I didn't expect that he can master the power of space at the fourth level."

Zhou Chen said without any hesitation, "Lord He, haven't you always wanted the Yin-Yang Mysterious Ice?"
Hearing this, He Shao's expression changed, "What does this mean? Could it be that Niu Qiong has made up her mind to give the thing to me?"
"Haha, Lord He, you're overthinking it. How could Lord Niu agree to it?"

"Then what are you talking about?"

"It's not a solution for you to keep wasting time here. Haven't you thought of any other way? Do you think Lord Niu will be afraid if you keep wasting time here?"
He Shao smiled and asked, "What do you mean?" The two chatted for about an hour, and finally Zhou Chen smiled and bowed and left. Before leaving, the two reached an agreement.

On the second day, Zhou Chen ate the meal that Niu Qiong had carefully prepared for him as usual. The difference was that the meal was now delivered by a banshee.

Zhou Chen was also curious, but he didn't ask much. After putting down the food, the witch just stood beside him without saying a word. On the surface, she was waiting for Zhou Chen to finish eating and then clean up the dishes, but Zhou Chen knew that she was monitoring him.

Zhou Chen pretended to cough a few times and then started to eat. After the banshee left, Zhou Chen used the Eye of Insight to make sure that no one was monitoring him. Then he opened the void crack, used the icy true qi to force the food in his stomach out, and vomited it into the void crack.

He Shao came to the Domain Lord's Mansion that day. His purpose of coming was not for the map, but to say goodbye to Niu Qiong. He said that he had given up the idea of ​​Xuan Bing and was ready to leave.

However, before leaving, he wanted to go hunting with Niu Qiong. Although they were all monsters, they also had the habit of hunting on weekdays, and their hunting target was ferocious wild beasts. Those were ordinary monsters with no cultivation, or whose strength was only ninth-grade and could not transform.

This kind of monster is of no concern to them and will not make them feel guilty. Niu Qiong naturally agreed readily and set the time for tomorrow.

On the second day, Niu Qiong brought Wang Meng and several other priests out of the strange space and came to the wasteland. Zhou Chen was naturally among them.

He Shao did not bring He Ming with him, but several of his own men. They rode on fierce horses and galloped across the wasteland. There were many weak monsters on the wasteland, but there were no powerful ones. Any monsters with a little intelligence had either been taken into the domain city or eaten by the strong men in the domain city.

Only these weak monsters that others looked down upon were left. They were all powerful monsters. Hunting these ordinary monsters was nothing at all. Time passed quickly and four hours had passed in the blink of an eye. They didn't know how long they had been riding on horseback.

Suddenly, demonic energy filled the air and a large formation formed. The demons looked around in surprise, while Niu Qiong looked at He Shao with confusion.

"Brother He, you dare to do this?"

He Shao did not hide it at all, "Yes, it is me. Brother Niu, don't blame me. It's all because of you that I had to do this. If you had just given me the things obediently, I wouldn't have to do this."

"Hahahaha, have you forgotten whose territory this is? Do you think you have a chance of success?"
In an instant, two powerful demonic auras, one cold and one hot, burst out. The moment the demonic power collided, those weaker monsters immediately retreated a hundred meters. Niu Qiong and He Shao also retreated a hundred meters each. Only to see the two big monsters standing in the void, glaring at each other.

Niu Qiong felt it and realized that this formation only isolated them from the outside world. It was just a simple isolation formation. People inside could not go out and people outside could not come in.

"Hmph, Brother He, there is actually no need for you to set up such a big formation. You are no match for me here. It just so happens that we haven't had a sparring match for a long time. Today, let me see how much you have improved compared to before."
