I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 262 Return to Hell
Zhang Xiaohua was immediately agitated when she heard the guard's words. She was embarrassed by the guard's bullying and her eyes showed a trace of anger. She said in disbelief, "How is it possible? How could this be? Are you just pretending to fool me and not actually reporting it?"

Liu Feng had already said that he and Zhang Chen had greeted each other in advance, so how could Zhang Chen refuse to meet him?
He suspected that the other party was secretly deceiving him and did not report it at all.

Facing the furious Zhang Xiaohua, the guards were not afraid of him at all. He was a guard of the Inspection Office, directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family and not under the jurisdiction of local governments.

So after hearing Zhang Xiaohua's scolding and questioning, the other party's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and mercilessly started the mocking mode: "There are too many people in this world who don't know their own weight. After hearing the news about Commander Xie, they all want to come here to take advantage and want to be appreciated by Commander Xie. Boy, you want to come here to take advantage, but you don't even take a piss and look at your face. With your ugly appearance, I'm afraid Commander Xie won't be able to eat or sleep after seeing you, and will have nightmares every night."

"You...you are really going too far!" Zhang Xiaohua was so angry that she was furious. The other party kept calling her ugly, and the attacks were like knives stabbing directly into her chest, leaving her with holes all over.

The guard raised his head proudly and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with his nose up in the air, which made Zhang Xiaohua so angry that she stomped her feet and finally had no choice but to leave.

He also wanted to make friends with Xie Lingyun, so he couldn't create any trouble here, so as not to offend Xie Lingyun and lower his impression in Xie Lingyun's mind.

Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun talked for a long time in the Taoist temple, then Xie Lingyun got up and said goodbye, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard looking at Xie Lingyun's back in silence.

Not long after Xie Lingyun left, the temple master Liu Feng came in from outside with a gloomy face, looking at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes.

"Greetings, Master." Zhang Chen raised his hand and saluted.

"Didn't I tell you before? I told you to cooperate with the prince to get close to Xie Lingyun. When the prince took the opportunity to visit, why didn't you cooperate and create an opportunity for a meeting?" Liu Feng's voice was calm, but there was an aggressive questioning in the calmness.

Zhang Chen glanced at Liu Feng, and swept across that face that looked like an old farmer, with a deceptive face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a deceptive face." Zhang Chen sighed softly, thinking in his heart: "If he is really so honest and kind, how can he manage the entire Taoist temple? How can he restrain those three thousand warriors?"

So at this time, Zhang Chen warned himself not to underestimate Liu Feng at all. This guy is definitely not as simple as he seems. This guy is simply a typical example of playing the pig to eat the tiger. This face is too deceptive. If anyone is fooled by him, he will die without knowing how he died.

"Don't blame me, old man. Leader Xie is here, so how can I have a say? Leader Xie doesn't want to see anyone, so he just sent me away." Zhang Chen spread his hands helplessly: "You really wronged me!"

At this point, Zhang Chen pointed at the little kid beside him and said, "Senior sister can testify that I didn't say a word. It was Leader Xie who took the lead in sending the people back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Douding nodded vigorously and echoed, "Master, I can testify that Junior Brother didn't say anything. He didn't even have the chance to speak because he was blocked by Leader Xie."

After hearing what the two said, Liu Feng's expression eased and his tone softened again: "So it seems that I was wrong about you."

"If it were a disciple, he would probably also have misunderstandings in his mind." Zhang Chen was very reasonable.

"You should try your best to create opportunities for the prince. If things work out, the prince will definitely benefit from you." Liu Feng's voice was full of temptation: "Huang Tiandao will hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony soon, and the water god will be enthroned at that time. If you can accomplish this, I can make the decision for you to accept the water god's blessing."

For Huang Tiandao, whether or not he could take down Xie Lingyun was extremely important. Xie Xuan's 50,000 elite soldiers could rival the ordinary 300,000 or 500,000 soldiers. They were like vicious dogs holding the throat of the North. If the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Jianxiao Division could not be dealt with, there would definitely be a big mess.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers may not seem like a lot, but they are definitely a lot. On the battlefield, it is not enough to have a large number of people, otherwise what is the point of having a general?

Although 50,000 troops are few, if they are commanded well and act according to their will, they may be able to defeat an army of one million.

Although a million-strong army is a large number, it is extremely difficult to command and mobilize it. It is not easy to get it moving and it is easy to get confused.

As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a mountain collapsing. If 50,000 troops gather together and form a charging force, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy army.

For example, the Three Crossings of the Chishui River, which can be called a battle of art in history, was an incredible feat accomplished under the command of Chairman Mao. That battle can be called a battle of art.

Liu Feng gave some more instructions before leaving in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard in a daze, thinking about the future situation.

"It seems that it is difficult for me to stay in Huang Tiandao honestly and quietly. There is not much harmony within Huang Tiandao. I must hurry up and master more magical powers to deal with future situations. The Divine Whip is temporarily being refined, and I cannot control the length of time. The only thing I can work on now is to practice the Sanhesha magic. If I can practice the Sanhesha magic, maybe I can increase my life-saving skills. Use the Sanhesha magic to roll up the wind and sand to cover the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, and then I may be able to assassinate many old guys." Zhang Chen's mind was flashing with thoughts, and he kept planning for his future.

"The magic of combining sand?" Zhang Chen muttered, and turned to walk into the house. Xiao Douding followed Zhang Chen and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, we are in trouble this time. I think the master of the temple has completely sided with that ugly bastard. I always feel that he is trying to reconcile you and the ugly bastard just to use us as a bridge to let the ugly bastard have a chance to get close to Commander Xie."

Hearing what Xiao Douding said, Zhang Chen smiled and patted Xiao Douding's head: "Don't think too much, kid. These are not things you should care about. Your main goal is to live happily."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Douding slapped Zhang Chen's hand away and said, "Asshole, I'm your senior sister! How can you talk to me like that?"

"Who was the one who cried and said that if I took her away, she would call me senior brother?" Zhang Chen joked.

The little kid was immediately displeased when he heard this. He stomped his feet in anger and stepped hard on Zhang Chen's instep: "You bastard Zhang Chen, you only know how to tease me all day long. I'm your senior sister, how dare you do this to me!"

After finishing his words, he turned away angrily, returned to the second floor of his house and slammed the door shut, looking very embarrassed. Zhang Chen heard the loud bang of the second floor door, smiled, and then went into the house to continue studying. Now the Taoist temple is about to hold a divine enthronement ceremony, and the entire Taoist temple is blessed by a mysterious power, so he dare not use any means at will.

Zhang Chen kept practicing calligraphy. For him, calligraphy would be used in the future and would be of great use, so his calligraphy could not be too ugly.

After finally making it from day to night, Zhang Chen looked outside the Taoist temple. The bright moon had not yet risen, and the sky and the earth were a little dim. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Zhang Chen turned into mist and quietly floated out, wandering in the shadows of the eaves and cracks in the walls of the Taoist temple, and then quietly left the temple. The next moment, he turned into a vampire bat soaring in the night sky, and headed straight towards the Yellow River.

His own cave nest was too close to the Bagua Furnace, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation he had set up was too alarming. He didn't want to cause any accidents while refining treasures in his Bagua Furnace.

As for the place that could conceal the aura of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, he thought of a location, which was the incomplete Dragon Palace where Zhang Shicheng transformed into a dragon and walked like a dragon. There seemed to be a feng shui formation there that could conceal the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know if he will have the chance to get a share of the dragon meat, nor does he know to what extent the dragon's blood has evolved, and whether it will be enough for him to have a full meal.

However, when Zhang Chen flew all the way to the Yellow River corvée, he found that there was no one on the riverbed. Not to mention the army of guarding officers, there were not even any farmers on duty. The entire riverbed was dead silent, with only a mess left there.

Zhang Chen was surprised to see this, his eyes full of astonishment. He carefully walked around the area of ​​dozens of miles, and indeed did not see any army or government officials.

"How strange! This is where the remains of Zhang Shicheng's body that turned into a dragon are. Why is there no one here?" Zhang Chen transformed into a vampire bat and entered the cave to investigate. After searching for a while, he found that Zhang Shicheng's dragon body had disappeared.

With the disappearance of Zhang Shicheng's dragon body, this place naturally lost its appeal to all major forces and was not worth sending troops to guard it.

"Where is Zhang Shicheng's body? Was he dragged away by the army?" After thinking about it, this is probably the only possible conclusion.

Zhang Chen transformed into a human body, crossed the river, and entered the Crystal Palace. He saw that the Crystal Palace had collapsed. Under the attack of the powerful Yangshen, it was shattered beyond recognition, like a pile of broken glass.

Zhang Chen did not feel regretful, but instead carefully checked the cave. After finding nothing unusual, he directly set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

As the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was summoned, the black-robed man on the boat of Wangchuan suddenly brightened his eyes, and his eyes were full of teasing: "Little mouse, I knew you couldn't help it, this time I finally caught you."

The man in black robe smiled lightly, and the next moment he jumped directly into the Forgetful River, turning into a wisp of black smoke and sinking into the spring water.

The Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was so powerful that it shook the world. Zhang Chen stood in the formation, looking at the spring of the Nine-bend Yellow River. He was about to use his magical power to transform into holy water and get in. But who knew that the next moment, a strange laugh came from the spring of the Yellow River: "Little bug, I found the world you are in. This time you can't run away."

Zhang Chen was startled by the voice. This was his own Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, how could there be a second person's voice?
Then, before he could think clearly, he saw that the flow of water from one of the springs suddenly increased, and the mouth of the spring continued to expand, as if some huge monster was squeezing in from the world behind the spring.

"This spring is the one where I lurked in the Forgotten River last time. This voice... is from the ferryman on the Forgotten River." Zhang Chen quickly came to his senses and immediately realized the source of the voice.

"That monster is so powerful that it can actually lock onto my location through the Yellow Springs. But..." Zhang Chen looked at the Nine Bends of the Yellow River formation in front of him, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a strange smile.

Does this mean that the other party is walking into a trap?
If it was in the Wangchuan River, he might not be able to do anything to him, but where is this? This is the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation, his territory!

Looking at the ever-expanding Yellow Spring, Zhang Chen felt a sense of anticipation. If he could kill this old guy in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, would that mean he would be safe when he entered the Forgetful River again?
"Come on, you damn old man, let's settle both old and new accounts together." Zhang Chen secretly became ruthless in his heart, and stood in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation with a stern face, staring at the spring.

"Hehehe~, I will eat your brain, refine your soul, take over your body, and replace your fate, to avenge you for playing tricks on me last time." A strange laugh from the black-robed man came from the spring.

"You bastard, get out of here! Why did you chase me here?" Zhang Chen's eyes rolled, and for fear that the man in black robe would notice something strange, he quickly pretended to be panicked, pinched his nose and cursed at the Huangquan spring, his voice full of panic.

"Don't even think about coming over here. Wait until I collect the spring, and then we'll see how you can get over here." Zhang Chen shouted anxiously.

"Hehe, I have anchored the coordinates and locked onto the spring of Yellow Spring. How can you just take it away if you want to?" A sneer came from the black-robed monster in Yellow Spring.

Zhang Chen's heart moved when he heard the words, and he wanted to put away the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. Unexpectedly, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation could not be put away. It seemed that there was a mysterious force fixing the void and suppressing Zhang Chen's action of putting away the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation.

"Damn monster, what on earth did you do? This is my magic weapon, how could it lose control? Let go of my magic weapon and get back here!" Zhang Chen cursed anxiously in front of Huang Quan.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the monster laughed strangely, and his voice was full of pride: "Boy, you are just an ant in the Qi training stage. How can you know how great I am? If it were in the past, you, an ant, would not even be qualified to die in my hands. But now the times have changed. I, the ancestor, will show mercy and let you die in my hands. This is also your supreme honor."

When Zhang Chen heard the other party's shouting, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. This guy was really insulting!

"Come out quickly! When you come out, I will use the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation to refine you to death! The cooldown period of my soul-stealing skill has also expired, and you won't be able to escape even if you want to." Zhang Chen cursed in his heart.
