Chapter 271 Lost Yin Yang Mirror
Now that there is no large formation to protect it, a large number of people are naturally needed to be on guard. If they had seen Zhou Chen before, they would definitely have said a few sarcastic words.
However, after what happened today, they looked at Zhou Chen with only respect. Some guards who were originally drowsy even perked up and stood up straight when they saw Zhou Chen coming.
While strolling around, Zhou Chen also started his spiritual exploration and immediately looked a thousand meters outside the city.
After walking around the city wall and not finding anything unusual, he was about to go back to rest. At this moment, Zhou Chen discovered something unusual. To his surprise, the unusual thing was not outside the city but inside the city.
There was a trace of black air moving towards the direction of the Demon Suppression Division. Zhou Chen frowned slightly and immediately chased after it.
Just when the black gas was about to get closer, Zhou Chen directly dispersed it with a palm. "It's strange that there are demons. Could it be that the demons are also involved behind the beast tide in Huangshan County?"
After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Zhou Chen didn't think much about it and went back to his room.
What he didn't know was that not long after he left, another black shadow sneaked into the Demon Suppression Division and came to Han You's room. At this time, Han You was in seclusion healing his wounds and was unaware of the existence of the black shadow.
The black shadow kept circling around Han You, as if looking for something. At this moment, Han You noticed something strange in the room and suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a black shadow in front of him. Before he could react, the black shadow grinned grimly and drilled into his body through his seven orifices.
Han You said with a painful expression, "Who are you? Get out of my body now."
"Haha, stop struggling and just give up control of your body."
Although the two of them were making loud noises, Han You had set up a barrier in the room during his retreat. Even if the noise inside was louder, the guards outside could not hear any sound. Early the next morning, Han You walked out of the room.
After a night's sleep, Zhou Chen stretched lazily. Just as he was about to go eat something, a Demon Suppression Guard came over, bowed to Zhou Chen and said, "Master Zhou, Master Han invites you."
Zhou Chen nodded without thinking too much and asked the other party to lead the way. Zhou Chen did not use any body skills, but got on the carriage arranged by Han You. Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen arrived at the Demon Suppression Division.
Zhou Chen was brought to Han You's living room by the Demon-Suppressing Guards. After entering, Zhou Chen roughly guessed the purpose of Han You's visit. It should not be a big deal, he just wanted to treat him to a simple meal.
"Brother Zhou is here, come and take a seat."
Zhou Chen bowed without being polite and immediately found a seat to sit down. After sitting down, Zhou Chen did not say anything polite and immediately tore off a piece of roasted lamb leg and ate it. Ordinary people prefer to have a light breakfast.
However, this is totally unnecessary for warriors. For warriors, no matter breakfast, lunch or dinner, they have to eat meat and fish, so as to reduce their daily consumption.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Chen was about to say goodbye and leave, but before he could say anything, Han You spoke first, "Brother Zhou, I have a request that you make. I don't know if I should say it or not."
Zhou Chen thought, since you don’t know whether you should say it or not, then don’t say it. Now that you said so, how can I stop you from saying it?
"Please speak, sir."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I've long heard that the Yin-Yang Mirror in the hands of the Wu'an County Demon Suppression Bureau is extremely mysterious. This time, if I have the chance, I would like to borrow it to take a look. I wonder if I can."
Although Zhou Chen used the Yin-Yang Mirror to heal him before, he was injured at that time and had no time to observe carefully. Zhou Chen remembered what Zhen Nantian had said before he came, and was about to refuse. Han You also guessed the result and immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a look. I don't have any intentions." Then he took out his magic weapon, Thunder God Chisel, and pressed it on Zhou Chen.
Looking at the Thunder Chisel in Han You's hand, he agreed to his request. Han You was not polite either. Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed, he directly handed the Thunder Chisel to Zhou Chen.
He also got the Yin-Yang Mirror from Zhou Chen, and then the two agreed to exchange the treasure after three days. After that, Zhou Chen left the City Lord's Mansion without thinking much.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye. Three days later, Zhou Chen came uninvited in the morning. After arriving at the Demon Suppression Division, he learned that Han You had left Huangshan County two days ago for some business and was not in the city now.
Zhou Chen frowned and thought to himself, "How could such a coincidence happen?" He was a little bit unconvinced, then he turned on his mental exploration and found an excuse to wander around the Demon Suppression Division. If anyone else dared to wander around the Demon Suppression Division, they would be arrested and interrogated. However, Zhou Chen was different. Although he was not a member of the Huangshan County Demon Suppression Division, he had no problem with his identity as the deputy commander of Wu'an County.
What's more, Zhou Chen solved the biggest threat for them a few days ago. Even if they didn't know his true identity, no one would stop him as long as he didn't go to any forbidden area.
After taking a look around, Zhou Chen found that Han You was not in the Demon Suppression Division. His brows frowned even more tightly, "Strange, could it be that he really had to go out for something urgent?"
He had no choice but to wait in Huangshan County for a few more days. Although he was now in control of the Yin-Yang Mirror, it did not mean that it was his. If Zhen Nantian knew that he had lost it, he would be in trouble when he returned.
Three days later, Zhou Chen came to the Demon Suppression Bureau again, and got the same answer. They didn't know when they would come back, and they didn't know what they were going to do outside.
He now had no idea where Han You had gone. Even if he wanted to go out and look for him, he had no clue. He could only wait in Huangshan County and hope that he would come back soon.
In the past two days, Zhen Nantian had sent him messages many times through the jade pendant, asking him when he would return and whether Huangshan County had encountered any unsolvable problems.
Zhou Chen was too embarrassed to say that he had lent the Yin-Yang Mirror to others and was now waiting for it to be returned, so he had to find an excuse to get away with it. At the same time, he was secretly looking forward to Han You's early return.
That night, Zhou Chen was meditating and practicing, when he suddenly sensed something strange, "It's the evil spirit again." He then flashed to the roof outside the house, looked around from above, and found a black shadow sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hmph, you're looking for death," and then he rushed towards the black shadow. This time, the black shadow noticed Zhou Chen's presence in advance and opened a crack in the void the moment he rushed towards him.
"What, it actually has the ability to tear the void?" Even so, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all. Seeing the black shadow drill into it, he also followed in.
A crack in the void opened up a hundred miles outside the city, and a black shadow flew out and fell to the ground. At the same time, Zhou Chen's figure also chased out.
The black shadow wanted to get up and run again, but was directly pinned to death by the long sword thrown by Zhou Chen. The black shadow struggled in pain for a while, then turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
"These demons are really environmentally friendly and save trouble. After they die, they directly turn into ashes without leaving any residue." After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the side. He opened his spiritual exploration and found that it was a person.
The man seemed to be seriously injured. Zhou Chen turned around without hesitation and came to his side in an instant. When he saw the man's appearance, he was shocked and then squatted down.
"Sir, why are you here?" He said while shaking his body. This person was Han You who had been missing for several days.
