Chapter 250 Trap
"How can this be possible?"

"Brother Zhou, please don't refuse. We two didn't help much this time. We just came over as a bystander. It's a huge profit for us to get more than 200 merit points."

Hearing what the two said, Zhou Chen did not act pretentiously and immediately agreed to their proposal. As for the silver earned from this mission, Zhou Chen did not take it and gave it all to the two.

That night, Zhou Chen was on his way home. There was a curfew in Wu'an County, and there were no other civilians on the streets except the patrolling soldiers and the demon-suppressing guards. Zhou Chen and Leng Ningshuang were on their way home.

Suddenly Zhou Chen heard footsteps behind him. At first he thought it was the patrolling Demon-Suppressing Guards and didn't think much about it. However, the footsteps kept following him, which made Zhou Chen doubt his identity. He immediately began his spiritual exploration quietly.

After discovering that he was indeed a Demon-Suppressing Guard, Zhou Chen stopped paying attention to him and quickened his pace to return home with Leng Ningshuang.

After returning, Leng Ningshuang was responsible for preparing dinner. After the meal, Leng Ningshuang went back to rest, while Zhou Chen was washing dishes in the yard.

After everything was packed up, Zhou Chen went back to his room to rest. Two hours later, the Demon-Suppressing Guard who had been hiding in the dark quietly came to the yard, looked around, and then came to the well in the yard.

He took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and quietly poured it into the well. After doing all this, he didn't dare to stay here for long and left quietly.

After he left, the scene around the well changed, and Zhou Chen appeared next to the well. Looking down, he saw a pile of white powder scattered on the open space next to the well.

Zhou Chen sneered and waved his hand, and a crack in the void appeared in front of him. A breeze blew past, and the medicinal powder on the ground floated into the crack.

The Demon Suppression Guard crossed the street and finally returned to the Demon Suppression Division. At this time, Baihu was sitting in the room practicing. As he breathed in and out, bursts of black air emanated from Baihu's body.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "My lord, the matter has been settled."

"Well, let's go down."

After he left, Zhou Chen appeared outside Baihu's yard, "Huh, it's you, I want to see what tricks you are playing," and then left.

There was no mission on the second day, but Qinglong arranged a mission for them in the afternoon. Only Zhou Chen was told about this mission. He said that the Zhentian Demon King had appeared frequently outside the city recently. Qinglong planned to join forces with Baihu and Xuanwu to launch a surprise attack on the other side. Zhou Chen thought Qinglong was going to take him with him, but the other party asked him to stay in the Demon Suppression Division.

If anything unexpected happens to him, Zhou Chen will temporarily take over the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the magic weapon Yin-Yang Mirror will be left to Zhou Chen. The Yin-Yang Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Whoever holds this mirror can control the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Sir, isn't it said that the Demon King Zhentian has already broken through to the third level? Why do you still want to provoke him? I'm not trying to hit you, but even if the three of you hall masters put together are no match for the old Demon Zhentian."

"Of course I know this, but Baihu got the news that the old demon had problems with his practice recently and was seriously injured and is currently in seclusion. This is a good opportunity that must not be missed."

"In that case, I will go with you. In case of any accident, I will have a helper. Didn't you say that Baihu has colluded with Xuanwu? I am worried that if you go out this time, the two of them will do something bad to you."

"Oh, I have no choice. I must go this time. If I only let Baihu and Xuanwu go, no matter whether they can complete the mission or not, I will have no prestige in the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the situation will be even worse."

Afterwards, Qinglong handed the Yin-Yang Mirror to Zhou Chen and let him go, while he returned to his room to practice.

Early the next morning, an old man came to Qinglong's room with a porcelain bottle. The old man did not knock on the door when he came in, and Qinglong did not say anything.

"The pill is ready. If you take one pill a day for seven days, the toxins in your body should be eliminated."

Qinglong took the porcelain bottle and thanked him, then took out a pill and swallowed it. The moment the pill entered his stomach, his complexion looked much better.

Not long after, Baihu came to his courtyard. Qinglong noticed his arrival and walked out without waiting for him to speak. At this time, Zhou Chen also came to Qinglong and said, "Hello, two adults."

Qinglong nodded, and Baihu smiled and said, "Sir, in my opinion, we should let Brother Zhou go with us. This way we will have a better chance of winning."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, Qinglong said, "No need, I have assigned other tasks to him."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Baihu's face, and then he sighed, "In that case, forget it, sir, let's go quickly."

After seeing the two leave, Zhou Chen also returned to the courtyard of Team 19. After he returned, Zhou Chen directly called out Yue and asked her to stay in the Demon Suppression Division. He hid in the room under the pretext of practicing.

After entering, he changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance, then tore through the void and left.

The mission this time was an assassination. Except for the three hall masters, no other members of the Demon Suppression Division joined. The three of them were seen walking on the void towards the outside of Wu'an County. They did not speak a word along the way, they just kept on hurrying on.

At night, near Xiaoshu Village, Qinglong and the other two had already arrived outside the village. This place was not very far from Wu'an County, and with their pace, they could reach there in an hour at most.

However, since it was daytime, they did not choose to take action, but lay in hiding. Now it was late at night, and it was a good time to take action.

Led by Baihu, the two of them sneaked towards Xiaoshu Village. This place was not any other place but the hiding place of the Zhentian Demon King. The monsters in the village were generally strong. There were more than ten monsters of the fourth rank and even more of the fifth rank.

If they didn't find out the situation beforehand, they would have no chance of returning. Baihu seemed to be very familiar with this place, and helped the two of them avoid many powerful monsters along the way.

Soon the three of them arrived at the center of the village. As soon as they arrived, they sensed a familiar demonic aura, which was the demonic aura of the Zhentian Demon King.

"Sure enough, he is here. Judging from his disordered breathing, he must be seriously injured."

Then Qinglong took out a talisman from the storage ring, on which was a twisted word "empty".

As he activated his skills, the talisman paper flew to a place not far in front of the three people, then it suddenly shattered, and a crack in the void appeared in front of the three people.

Then the three of them went straight into the crack, and when they came out they had arrived at the room of the Demon King Zhentian.

At this time, Demon King Zhentian was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room healing his wounds.

Seeing this, Qinglong said, "You two should take action quickly." Qinglong took the lead and slapped the Zhentian Demon King.

However, at this moment, Baihu and Xuanwu did not choose to help, but just stood behind him and watched everything.

Qinglong did not notice the abnormality behind him. Just when he was about to slap the Demon King Zhentian with his palm, he saw the Demon King Zhentian's eyes suddenly opened.

Then a huge demonic power surged out, directly repelling the Qinglong that rushed towards him. The Qinglong spit out blood and flew backwards.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh no, it's a trap, run away quickly." Then Baihu and the other man left Qinglong behind and ran away. The monsters guarding the door just fought with Baihu and the others for two moves and then rushed into the room without further entanglement.
