Chapter 272 Misunderstanding
After shaking for a long time, I found no response. Although I had noticed it, I still tentatively sniffed his breath.

A minute later Zhou Chen sighed and retracted his fingers. Even though he didn't believe it, he had to accept the reality now.

Then Zhou Chen looked at the storage ring on his right finger, thought for a moment, and said to his corpse, "Please forgive me, sir. If it were something else, it would be fine, but the Yin-Yang Mirror is the treasure of our Wu'an County. Please forgive me for having to take it back."

After saying that, he did not take the storage ring on his hand, but gathered a trace of internal force and injected it into the ring. Originally, Han You's strength was inferior to Zhou Chen's, and now he was dead, so Zhou Chen broke the mark on the ring effortlessly.

Zhou Chen's mind moved, and he saw everything inside the ring. There were many treasures in it, but Zhou Chen searched for a long time but couldn't find the Yin-Yang Mirror.

"How could there not be?"
However, at this moment several voices came into Zhou Chen's ears, "Asshole, stay away from Lord Han."

The person who spoke was Xuanwu from Huangshan County, and there were several other hall masters beside him.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and stood up and said, "I just got here too, everyone."

However, the four people did not listen to his explanation. After arriving, Zhuque bent down to check the corpse, while Qinglong and the other two looked at Zhou Chen. They saw it clearly before they came. Although they did not see Zhou Chen attack Han You, they saw his right hand touching Han You's storage ring.

Xuanwu said bluntly, "It's the middle of the night, I wonder why you are here, Brother Zhou?"
Qinglong turned his head and said, "Xuanwu, don't be rude," and then nodded and saluted to Zhou Chen, "Don't mind, Xuanwu is just like that. But Brother Zhou, it's really suspicious that you don't rest in the middle of the night and come to this desolate mountain."

At this time Zhuque, who was checking on Han You's condition, stood up and looked at Zhou Chen with an unfriendly look. Seeing his eyes, Zhou Chen knew that he was in trouble.

Then Zhuque said to Qinglong, "Qinglong, Lord Han is dead."

Zhou Chen already knew this, so he was not surprised. However, the other three hall masters were shocked. Xuanwu came behind Zhou Chen with the inner energy surging around him. Baihu and Zhuque also came to both sides and surrounded Zhou Chen.

Qinglong was the leader among the four of them. Before Qinglong spoke, the other three did not take action for the time being, but the murderous intent in their bodies was already difficult to conceal.

Qinglong sighed deeply and said, "Brother Zhou, I can't do anything else. Please come with us."

In this situation, any normal person would think that Zhou Chen is involved in this matter.

After all, they are colleagues. Zhou Chen sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Soon Zhou Chen and the four others returned to the Demon Suppression Division of Huangshan County. After returning to the Demon Suppression Division, they inevitably met the Demon Suppression Guards who were on duty at night. After seeing the five people, they immediately bowed and saluted, and also saluted Zhou Chen respectfully.

Zhou Chen returned the greeting with a smile. Seeing this, Xuanwu impatiently scolded the Demon-Suppressing Guard on duty, "Are you bored and have nothing to do? Do you want me to find you something to do?" Hearing what Xuanwu meant, the Demon-Suppressing Guard quickly saluted and left.

Zhou Chen was taken to the Demon Suppression Division prison by Qinglong and his four companions. The Demon Suppression Division prison was divided into two types, one was used to imprison ordinary warriors, and the other was used to imprison warriors above the sixth rank.

Zhou Chen was taken to a cell. The difference between this cell and ordinary cells was that it was much cleaner and had no peculiar smell.

"Brother Zhou, please stay here for a while until the matter is sorted out."

After they left, Xuanwu said to Qinglong, "Why are you still investigating? In my opinion, it was him who did it. Just chop him up to avenge you."

Zhuque and Baihu also said in the same voice, "Yes, sir, the matter is already very clear. In my opinion, there is no need to investigate further."

Qinglong stopped and turned around and said, "He is not an ordinary person, but the deputy commander of the Wu'an County Demon Suppression Department. We can't easily execute him." "So what? He killed the commander, even if he is the deputy commander."

"No, the position of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Wu'an County is somewhat different. According to his rank, he is at least at the same level as me, or even half a level higher. Even if he has committed a serious crime, I do not have the power to execute him."

Zhuque suggested, "If it really doesn't work, send a message to Wu'an County and let Lord Zhennan Tianzhen handle it."

At this time, Zhou Chen in the cell listened to everyone's conversation and thought to himself, "What a bunch of idiots."

Sure enough, on the second day, Zhou Chen's jade pendant sent a message from Zhen Nantian, asking about his situation, why he attacked Han You, and whether he did so because Han You was possessed by a demon.

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly. Although Zhen Nantian also believed that Han You was killed by him, he did not intend to blame him. He was still wondering if Han You was killed by Zhou Chen because there was something wrong with him.

So Zhou Chen simply explained the matter to him.

There was no breakfast provided in the cell, but he didn't care. He simply took out a pork leg from his storage ring and started roasting it in the cell. The guards in the cell didn't dare to say anything about this. After all, he knew how powerful Zhou Chen was. He could easily kill a fourth-grade monster, let alone him, an ordinary guard.

He just turned a blind eye to this, and he didn't dare to ask where Zhou Chen got the meat and firewood from.

When Zhou Chen was bored, he took out the Thunder Chisel that Han You had exchanged with him before. The material of this thing was unknown. As long as one injected true energy into it, it would be converted into thunder power to defend against the enemy.

Just as he was studying this thing, Xuanwu came outside the cell. He didn't want to come originally, but Qinglong was more senior than him and ordered him to come to understand the situation. He had no choice but to come here reluctantly.

When he saw the Thunder Chisel in Zhou Chen's hand, he looked furious and said, "How come this thing is in your hands, little bastard?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chen glanced at him unkindly. He had disliked this guy for a long time, and today he spoke to him in the same tone again, "Watch your mouth, or I will make you regret it."

Xuanwu ignored him and just stretched out his hand, saying "Hand over the things."

"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Before, your Lord Han wanted to borrow the Yin-Yang Mirror from Wu'an County from me. He left this thing with me. If you return the Yin-Yang Mirror to me, I will naturally return the thing to you."

“But the thing has not been returned to me yet, so I can’t return it to you for the time being,” he said, and put the thing back into the storage ring.

Seeing this, Xuanwu got a little angry, "Good boy, you dare to lie. Lord Han will never be interested in your broken mirror. Return your things quickly." As he said that, he was about to open the door to grab Zhou Chen's storage ring.

Seeing that he was about to take action, Zhou Chen snorted coldly and a chill emanated from him. Before Xuanwu's hand touched the door of the cell, he felt a chill coming towards him, and Xuanwu's outstretched hand froze in place.

After thinking about it, he finally withdrew his arm, then snorted coldly and left the cell.

After he left, Zhou Chen continued to take out the Thunder Chisel and study it. At this time, Qinglong and Xuanwu came over with a tense look on their faces.

"What's wrong? How is the thing I asked you to do going?"
Xuanwu angrily told Qinglong what had happened. Qinglong's eyes narrowed and he said in a low voice, "No wonder, I searched through your storage ring but couldn't find the Thunder God's Chisel."

This thing, like the Yin-Yang Mirror, is the treasure of their Huangshan County Demon Suppression Bureau. It is of great importance and must not be lost.
