Chapter 289: Mountains and Rivers

Zhou Chen did not go forward to check. As for his life or death, it all depended on his luck. Soon Mo Li came out. As for the fate of those people, needless to say, they were all wiped out.

“What should we do next?”
Mo Li thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

After leaving the coffin shop, the two first found a place to eat. While eating, Zhou Chen realized that this time it was just him and Mo Li, with no other helpers.

After saying this, Mo Li asked, "Why are you scared? If you are scared, you can leave. I can go alone."

"What do you mean, am I that kind of cowardly person?"

Few people usually go to the coffin shop, and although the two did not deal with the bodies inside, there was still no reaction from Qingshan City a few hours later.

At night, the two men dressed in black shuttled through Qingshan City. Usually, no one would come out of the domain lord's mansion. For a long time, no one would come out for a year or two. If they wanted to alarm the people inside, they had to make some big noise, otherwise they would not attract the attention of the domain lord at all.

There was no curfew in Qingshan City at night, and it was even more lively at night than during the day. However, the two people wearing night clothes moved around on the rooftops without being noticed by anyone.

Soon they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The two had already discussed before coming that their purpose of coming here was to launch a surprise attack on the City Lord and make him think that a strong man was attacking.

As long as the two of them can injure the city lord, they will most likely ask the domain lord to come out, so that the two of them will have the opportunity to sneak into the different space.

But after all, they are all human beings. Zhou Chen had made an agreement with him before coming that he could hurt people but his subordinates had to be careful and not use too much force. Mo Li also impatiently agreed to his request.

Although there are only lower-third-rank warriors patrolling the city, there are many middle-third-rank masters guarding the city lord's mansion. Not to mention the city lord's strength, there are no less than five fourth-rank warriors and more than twenty fifth-rank warriors.

The two men looked at each other and separated. The masters in the mansion were practicing in their rooms. Suddenly, the door opened and before they could react, they were attacked by men in black. In just one hour, all the masters in the mansion were injured, and not even a single patrolling soldier was alarmed.

The two did not attack the city lord, but stopped after injuring all the masters. A fourth-grade warrior in the room woke up from his coma, shook his head vigorously, then covered his chest and quickly ran out of the room.

At this time, the city lord was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the city lord's eyes suddenly opened, bursting with murderous intent.

"It's me, sir."

Only then did he realize that it was one of his own. The city lord Wanquan suppressed his murderous aura and asked, "Brother Shen, why is it you? Why are you injured?"

"My lord, something bad has happened. A strong man has broken into the mansion."

When Wan Quan heard this, he became furious and asked, "Who is so bold?" Then he stood up and walked out of the room. Ten minutes later, Wan Quan was sitting in the hall, with more than a dozen strong men from the mansion sitting below him.

Wan Quan looked at the many warriors below and asked, "Did you see clearly who attacked you?"

"Sir, that man attacked too quickly. I was knocked unconscious before I could even react."

Others said the same thing.

Wan Quan glared with anger and slammed the table, which was instantly shattered to pieces. "With so many people here, no one can see the true face of the person who came. If this matter gets out, it will be so funny that people will die."

At this time, a fourth-rank warrior spoke up and said, "Sir, the assassin only injured us and did not kill us. I think he has other purposes."

"Hmph, do you need to tell me that?" You can't blame him for not being angry. In just one hour, hundreds of strong men in the mansion were beaten and seriously injured, but he didn't even get to see the other party's face clearly. How could he not be angry? The next night, the two of them appeared in the city again in black clothes. Unlike yesterday, the originally bustling streets were unusually deserted tonight, and there was no vendor on the street.

The City Lord's Mansion also sent more patrol officers, but they were just some weak warriors, which was completely meaningless.

Yesterday's target was the warriors in the mansion, so their target today is the city lord Wanquan. After returning, the two discussed it and felt that the previous plan was too slow.

Moreover, after suffering such a huge loss, Wan Quan might not necessarily ask for help from the Domain Lord, but would choose to fight it out on his own. So they planned to capture Wan Quan directly today and then force him to ask for help from the Domain Lord.

With the help of spiritual exploration, Zhou Chen quickly took Mo Li to find Wan Quan's residence. At this time, Wan Quan was practicing in seclusion.

There were a large number of guards guarding its entrance. Seeing this, the two men smiled at each other. These guards posed no threat to them at all.

Wan Quan, who was practicing, suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside the door, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, the door exploded and a pitch-black sword energy struck him in the face, about to hit him, but Wan Quan's body disappeared out of thin air.

The next moment the scene changed. The surrounding walls of the houses disappeared and they came to an empty field.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen was a little shocked, "It seems we have fallen into a trap."

Mo Li said expressionlessly, "Hmph, so what if I fell into your trap? I'll just kill them one by one."

At this time, Wan Quan's voice reached the ears of the two, "You are so arrogant. Now that you have entered my land, I will make sure that you die without a burial place."

At this time in Wan Quan's room, the city lord Wan Quan was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, and in front of him was a chessboard floating, and the figures of Zhou Chen and the other person appeared on the chessboard.

Wan Quan was looking at the two people on the chessboard with a grim smile on his face, but the two people on the chessboard could only hear Wan Quan's voice but did not see Wan Quan's figure.

At this moment, the two of them looked up and around, but they could not see anything. There was only darkness around them.

Zhou Chen looked at the darkness around him and said, "Oh no, it looks like we have been taken into someone's magic weapon."

Mo Li ignored Zhou Chen and said to the people around him, "Wan Quan, is this all you have got? If you have the ability, come out and compete with me."

"Stop shouting, how could he come out?" However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wan Quan appeared on the chessboard.

Zhou Chen was also shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect this guy to really come. The two of them had obviously been captured by him in the magic weapon, so there was no need for him to show up. He could have just used some tricks to deal with them. However, this fool was provoked by Mo Li's words. It seemed that his IQ was not very high.

At this time, Wan Quan was surrounded by murderous aura, and the two could feel the murderous aura from a distance. What Zhou Chen didn't know was that as the owner of the Shanhe Plate, Wan Quan's strength would be greatly improved here, at least twice as strong as outside. This was also the reason why Wan Quan dared to appear in front of the two.

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from him, Mo Li was not afraid at all. He turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Don't move, just leave it to me."

Zhou Chen was naturally willing to do this, and then he retreated more than ten meters. Seeing this, Wan Quan snorted coldly, "You overestimate your abilities. Today is the day you two die."
