The woman then introduced herself. It would have been fine if she hadn't introduced herself, but the introduction scared Zhou Chen because the person in front of him, who looked young and beautiful, was actually Zhao Xiaoqing, the deputy hall master of the Holy Soul Hall.

However, he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "I wonder why Palace Master Zhao came to see me so late at night?"
"It's for your safety, of course."

"You are joking. I have just entered the demon world. How could there be any danger if I have not offended anyone?"

Zhao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "This matter is very secret, so of course you don't know about it. The Demon Lord was seriously injured in the previous battle with Emperor Xia. He was injured by Emperor Xia's open fire. If he wants to recover, he must use black ice of the same grade."

Hearing him say this, Zhou Chen understood what he meant, "You mean that the Demon Lord is interested in the black ice in my body?"
"good".

"As far as I know, the open fire is the fifth most powerful among all the strange fires, and although the black ice in my body is powerful, I'm afraid it is far from being able to suppress the power of the open fire."

Zhao Xiaoqing chuckled, "Haha, do you think your little secret can satisfy Lord Demon? Although the grade of the black ice in your body is not high enough, you have fused three pieces of black ice. The power after fusion may not be inferior to the fifth-grade open flame. Now that the Demon Lord's injuries are getting worse and worse, do you think he will take the risk and use you to try the effect?"

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment. The fact was just as he said, after fusing the three pieces of black ice, the coldness in his body might not be inferior to the fire energy of an open flame.

Zhou Chen stopped talking about this topic and asked directly, "Why are you telling me this when we are not related at all?"
Zhao Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Chen's words, but recovered in just a moment, "Because I want to replace him, what do you think of this reason?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but become nervous when he heard his words. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense, but facing Zhao Xiaoqing he had no power to fight back, so he could only do as he said.

"Then tell me what I should do now, or I should just escape from the demon world directly."

"The demon world is powerful. Not to mention that you can't escape now, even if you escape, what can you do? Do you think you can escape from the clutches of the Demon Lord?"

At this time, the right-hand man of the gods and demons outside quietly came to the outside of Zhou Chen's house after receiving the order from the Demon Lord. He was originally planning to take action directly, but suddenly he noticed Zhao Xiaoqing's appearance, and he was so scared that he immediately stopped his actions.

He saw with his own eyes that Zhao Xiaoqing entered Zhou Chen's room. Li Zuo Shi was guarding outside the door at the moment, so he couldn't go forward to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he knew what they were going to do without listening.

He immediately used a secret method to inform Lord Demon of what had happened here. After the Demon Lord learned about the situation, he knew that Zhao Xiaoqing had ill intentions, so he immediately ordered that Zhou Chen be captured as soon as Zhao Xiaoqing left.

An hour later, Zhao Xiaoqing finally came out. Knowing that Zhao Xiaoqing was very powerful, the right-hand man in secret quickly lowered his body, fearing that he would be noticed by him.

Fortunately, he did not notice his presence and took Li Zuo Shi away from Zhou Chen's yard.

After Zhao Xiaoqing left, the Right Envoy continued to hide for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving Zhou Chen for a long time, the Left Envoy Li whispered behind him, "Sir, the Right Envoy has been hiding in the dark, why didn't you capture him?"
"You have come to meet him privately today. I'm afraid the Demon Lord will not be able to sit still and will attack him directly."

Zhao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Of course I know this, and I am sure they will take action after we leave."

Hearing this, Li Zuo Shi quickly said, "Then I will go and protect Zhou Chen secretly."

Zhao Xiaoqing quickly stopped him, "No need." Li Zuoshi asked doubtfully, "If Zhou Chen is captured by them, won't all your plans fail?"
"Hmph, do you think I will really cooperate with Zhou Chen? I am just using him. When I was talking to him just now, I had already secretly tampered with his body. Now I am just waiting for the Demon Lord to devour him. As long as the Demon Lord devours him, his cultivation will be gone immediately. Hmph, then I will be able to control him."

After hearing this, Li Zuoshi finally understood his plan and couldn't help but bow and said, "Great, sir, this is a really great idea."

"Okay, stop flattering me. Go and notify our people to get ready. I will take action immediately when I tell you to."

After Zhao Xiaoqing left, Zhou Chen was unable to continue practicing. At first, he thought that the Demon Lord was really kind enough to accept him as his son-in-law. He didn't expect that he had underestimated the cruelty of the demons. He immediately took out the jade pendant that Leng Yiyao left for him before she left.

Just after sending a message to him, before he could catch his breath, footsteps were heard outside the door. Zhou Chen was in a tense state at this time. After hearing the sound, he immediately started mental exploration to check over.

This time his mental exploration did not encounter any resistance, and he easily passed through the door. He found a man standing outside the door. He did not know this man, but he seemed to have sensed Zhou Chen's mental power, and the man gave him a weird smile.

It immediately turned into a black gas and instantly passed through the crack in the door and came in front of him. Zhou Chen's reaction was also extremely fast, and the icy true energy in his body instantly burst out.

He directly repelled the charging Xiang Youshi, and after stabilizing his body, a layer of frost had already formed on Xiang Youshi's body. "Hmph, this cold air is really powerful. It seems that your Excellency's injury can be cured."

Zhou Chen understood what he said. Zhao Xiaoqing was right. The Demon Lord really captured him just to heal his wounds.

Zhou Chen did not hold back at the moment. The true energy in his body surged rapidly, and the air around him dropped rapidly at this moment. Although he could not see clearly the strength of the person in front of him, he was not afraid at all.

"You dare to attack me, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Demon Lord?"
"Hahaha, kid, I might as well tell you the truth. It was His Majesty who asked me to do this today. You don't really think that His Majesty will marry his daughter to you, do you?"

After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and started fighting. The whole room was shattered by the true energy at the moment of the fight. On the other side, Leng Yiyao received the message from Zhou Chen and tore through the void without hesitation and rushed towards Zhou Chen.

Xiang Youshi was a top-grade warrior. After just a few moves, before he could use his full strength, Zhou Chen was already covered in wounds. "Boy, just follow me obediently," he said, and a large black hand grabbed Zhou Chen.

Just when he was about to grab Zhou Chen, a space crack immediately opened behind Zhou Chen, and Leng Yiyao's cold voice came out from it.

"Xiang Wentian, you are so brave." Then a dark sword energy flew out from the crack and directly chopped his big hand into pieces. Leng Yiyao also walked out at this time, helped Zhou Chen up, and looked at Xiang Wentian with cold eyes.

Seeing Leng Yiyao coming, Xiang Wentian naturally didn't dare to take action, "Miss, this is the Lord's order, you'd better step down."

How could Leng Yiyao listen to him? She flashed in front of him and slapped him. With a crisp sound, five finger marks appeared on Xiang Wentian's face.

If it was anyone else, Xiang Wentian would have killed him long ago, but facing Leng Yiyao, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and even if he was slapped, he could only endure it. (End of this chapter)
