Chapter 287 The Famous Sword Stops Killing
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's face showed excitement, and he quickly asked, "What did you say? You saw him some time ago. Where did you see him?"
Looking at Zhou Chen who was getting closer and closer to him, the man in black reached out and pushed him back, "Why are you so excited? Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to find him if you went there now. But he did ask me to give you a few words at that time."

Zhou Chen couldn't wait to ask "What?"
The man in black took out a dagger from his storage ring and threw it to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen recognized this dagger. It was the amber one in Leng Yiyao's hand.

"He asked me to tell you that he is doing fine now and you don't have to worry about him. It's just that he has important things to do right now and can't come back for the time being, so you don't have to worry about him."

"Important things, what important things can there be? Why don't you tell me? Two people are always better than one."

The man in black smiled bitterly and said, "You'll have to ask him about this. How would I know why? Now that you have no worries, can you come with me?"
Zhou Chen thought for a while, nodded and said "Okay".

Hearing this, the man in black smiled and picked up the wine jug and drank it all. The next day, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Zhen Nantian. Zhen Nantian had no objection to this, and even if he did, he would not say it. After all, Zhou Chen's strength had surpassed his now, and even if he disagreed, it would be of no use, as he did not have the strength to keep Zhou Chen.

However, before leaving, he was given the reward from last time, which was a martial art with ice attributes, and it was a lower-grade heavenly martial art.

Even Zhou Chen's heart began beating wildly when he heard the word 'Heavenly Level'. He took the secret book without saying a word and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave now."

Then he ran away with the secret book, fearing that Zhen Nantian would regret it if he was a step late. In fact, what he didn't know was that Zhen Nantian had already left a copy in the library.

Soon Zhou Chen met the man in black outside the city. Seeing Zhou Chen coming, the man in black smiled and threw him a mask.

"What do you mean?"
"Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good. Sometimes it's not convenient for me to show up."

After putting on the mask, Zhou Chen asked, "We've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your name."

"Just call me Mo Li."

Afterwards, Mo Li took Zhou Chen and left Wu'an County. He did not tell Zhou Chen where they were going. Zhou Chen just thought of it as going out for some fresh air and did not ask too many questions. He just followed him.

Five days later, Mo Li brought Zhou Chen to Qingshan Region. He then told Zhou Chen his purpose. It turned out that he came for a weapon, which was the Stop Killing sword ranked fourth among the ten famous swords.

The moment he heard this name, Yue whispered in his heart, "It's Stop Killing."

Although he had a famous sword in his hand, he didn't know much about famous swords. After hearing Yue's words, he asked himself in his heart, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with this sword?"
"Master, Stop Killing is the fourth famous sword on the list of famous swords. Although its name means Stop Killing, it is the only magic sword on the list of famous swords."

Zhou Chen was a little shocked when he heard that, he looked at Mo Li and asked, "Isn't the Killing Sword a magic sword? What do you want it to do?"
"Hmph, you have some knowledge. It is true that Zhisha is a good magic sword. But so what? There is no good or bad weapon, there is only its user. The reason why it is called a magic sword is because its previous owner was too murderous, so it has this bad reputation."

Although it is possible to say this, Zhou Chen still advised, "What you said does make sense, but it is a magic sword after all. It has too much murderous aura and you, a girl, may not be able to control it, so forget it."

As soon as these words came out, Mo Li instantly burst out with a burst of true energy, which was surprisingly the strength of the third rank. Zhou Chen had known about this for a long time, and the reason why Mo Li did this was probably to tell Zhou Chen that his strength was not bad and he could still control a mere magic sword.

Seeing him so persistent, Zhou Chen was helpless. It wasn't his turn to take it, so if he wanted it, he could just let him do it. "If that's the case, then do as you please. But if one day I find out that you've become a demon who kills people without blinking an eye," Mo Li asked, "What will you do?"
Zhou Chen said without hesitation, "I will kill you."

"What a big tone of voice you have. You better practice well, or you'll end up crying when I beat you."

Zhou Chen was immediately amused by his words, "Okay, since you are so anxious to get the sword, it seems that you have already got news about him?"
The two of them were standing in the void at this time. Mo Li pointed at Qingshan City in front of them. This city was the main city of Qingshan Domain, and the Lord of Qingshan Domain was also in it.

"The news to stop the killing is within the city."

Just as he was about to walk towards Qingshan City, Zhou Chen blocked his way and pointed at the masks on their heads, "Are you sure we won't get into trouble if we go in like this?"
As he was about to reach out to take off the mask on his head, Mo Li also turned around and took off the mask on his head. At this moment, Zhou Chen also put on the demon pattern and started spiritual exploration, ready to see who he really was.

Mo Li also noticed Zhou Chen's little thoughts early on. He saw that his hand holding the mask suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then he said to Zhou Chen, "You go first, I'll follow."

Knowing that his little trick had been discovered, Zhou Chen spread out his hands helplessly without any pretense, then fell to the ground.

After Zhou Chen left, a black gas emerged around Mo Li's body, wrapping his entire body. Even Zhou Chen below was unable to detect the situation inside using his spiritual power.

After spending a few days together, Zhou Chen already knew that his true qi was black. When he first saw it, he thought it was demonic energy, but after careful observation he found that it was not demonic energy, but black energy, one of the ten kinds of black energy. As for which kind it was, Mo Li didn't tell him nor asked.

Not long after Zhou Chen came down, Mo Li also came down. Although the mask on his face had been taken off, he was replaced with a veil. The black clothes he had worn before had also been taken off and replaced with normal women's clothing.

Her face was still unclear. If she had entered the city wearing a mask, she would have been stopped by the guards at the city gate. However, it would have been understandable if the woman had been wearing a veil.

"I really don't understand why you always cover your face." Zhou Chen seemed to have thought of something and came closer to him and whispered, "I know, it's because you are very ugly that you dare not show your true face to others."

After saying this, sensing a murderous aura, Zhou Chen scratched his head with a smile, then his figure flashed and ran directly towards Qingshan City.

However, the murderous aura behind him disappeared in an instant. It was not because Mo Li had a good temper, but because they were already close to the city wall of Qingshan City. If too much murderous aura erupted here, it would bring unnecessary trouble.

As the largest city in Qingshan Domain, Qingshan City not only has a large area, but also has extremely tall city walls. Unless one is a middle-third-rank warrior, it is simply a fool's dream for an ordinary lower-third-rank warrior to sneak in over the city wall.

Even a warrior of the third rank wouldn't dare to try it lightly, because not only are the walls tall, but there are also many devices equipped on them. The power of these things cannot be underestimated. Even a warrior with true Qi wouldn't dare to take them head-on.

An arrow shot from a single crossbow is enough to penetrate the protective true qi of a sixth-grade warrior, and the large formation in the city can even defend against a full-strength attack from a third-grade warrior.
