Chapter 736: A layer of exquisite tower grows?

What did Zhang Chen see?
He saw the Linglong Tower!
Originally, he was not surprised to see the Linglong Tower, but what was strange was that the Linglong Tower in front of him had grown another layer.

Originally, Linglong Tower only had twelve floors, but now another floor has grown out of nowhere. Isn't it very strange?
"One, two, three, four... twelve, thirteen, it is indeed the thirteenth floor. The Linglong Tower has actually grown another floor?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of confusion.

Linglong Tower is an innate spiritual treasure, not a living thing, so how could it grow an extra layer out of nowhere?

"This shouldn't happen!" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of astonishment.

"What a great Zhou Qiucheng! He has grasped the essence of the incense faith. After he turned the Linglong Tower into a Shinto magic weapon, he actually used the power of incense to repair the Linglong Tower, and he succeeded. As long as he continues like this, the complete Linglong Tower will be repaired sooner or later. By then, this fellow's strength will break through from the eleventh level to the twelfth level, and he will become the fourth stabilizing force of the Dasheng Dynasty." The Great Freedom Demon also exclaimed.

"The power of incense can have such an effect?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of surprise.

"Since the Linglong Tower has been transformed into a sacred incense weapon, it must naturally follow the laws of the Shinto. Even though the Linglong Tower has only grown by one level, Zhou Qiucheng's strength is more than one level stronger than before." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"The magical power of the divine way is indeed endless." Zhang Chen praised: "Now that Zhou Qiucheng's Linglong Tower has greatly increased in strength, how does it compare to Chen Sanliang?" Zhang Chen asked.

The Great Freedom Demon shook his head and said: "Chen Sanliang is the founder of the Taoist tradition. He has no rivals in the eleventh level. Unless Zhou Qiucheng repairs the Linglong Tower and enters the twelfth level, he can force Chen Sanliang to retreat."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this: "Chen Sanliang is so strong?"

He noticed that Mahadeva said to force back, not to defeat, suppress or kill.

"The other party has created a great road. Countless sentient beings have stepped into this road, which will increase the strength of this road. Chen Sanliang can make use of every bit of strength on this road. Do you think he is strong?" The Great Freedom Demon sighed softly, his voice full of emotion.

“Gathering the power of all living beings is indeed extremely powerful.” Zhang Chen also nodded.

"What I'm worried about now is Zhou Qiucheng. The more incense power this guy gathers, the more powerful the incense poison will be. If all of it is fed to my limb, I don't know how much trouble it will cause." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Don't worry. I have some ideas on how to deal with your body. Don't worry. When I'm ready, we will meet that demon." Zhang Chen comforted the Great Freedom Demon.

At this time, divine light was circulating in Jinling City, attracting powerful people from all walks of life to watch secretly, and the people in Jinling City all knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, as if they were worshiping gods, and the sounds of various prayers filled the sky and earth.

"Zhou Qiucheng is very capable." Zhang Chen praised him secretly, put down his wine cup and stood up: "Go home and sleep."

Zhou Qiucheng is very powerful, and Zhang Chen can only be happy for him. After all, Zhou Qiucheng had blocked Huang Tiandao's Zhao Lie and others for him. Although Zhou Qiucheng had his own purpose, Zhang Chen still wanted to accept the favor and was grateful to him.

Zhang Chen returned home to wash off the smell of alcohol and gave himself a rare day off.

On the second day, Zhang Chen continued to move bricks, perfecting his brick-moving career and being a hard-working little bee.

On the third day, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar figure appeared outside the door. It was Huang Chao.

"You actually learned how to knock on the door today." After Zhang Chen opened the door, he was surprised to see that the person knocking on the door was Huang Chao.

Huang Chao proudly raised the book in his hand and said, "I have read a lot these days and I have understood a little bit about etiquette. I was too rude in the past. Now that I understand the truth, I will not do rude things anymore."

Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao in surprise and said, "You are really good at applying what you have learned."

When the two of them walked into the courtyard, they saw Huang Chao following Zhang Chen and said mysteriously, "I have already checked the matter of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. It is a big deal. Do you want to do it?"

"What you call a big business must not be an ordinary business." Zhang Chen did not question Huang Chao's methods. This guy has many changes. He can be compared to Sun Wukong and he is invincible in eavesdropping on information.

Zhang Chen was not surprised at all that Huang Chao was able to eavesdrop on the news from the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency.

But what made Zhang Chen curious was what kind of big deal it was that could make Huang Chao so excited. You have to know that Huang Chao has become a big shot who controls the lives of countless people, and ordinary things are not worth his attention.

"The Eternal Tree Coffin!" Huang Chao said.

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this. He turned around abruptly and stared at Huang Chao: "Are you sure?"

The Longevity Tree Coffin is not an ordinary tree, but an innate spiritual root of heaven and earth. If I use the authority of the Wood Element to make it take root and sprout, and equip it with my authority of the Wood Element, then can my authority of the Wood Element be further improved?
"The old guy from the Gong family said it himself." Huang Chao said.

Zhang Chen was puzzled when he heard this: "When the Longevity Tree Coffin disappeared in the North, no one knew its whereabouts except the chief steward. I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. How did they take the Longevity Tree Coffin from the chief steward?"

"It's not that the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency took it from Dugu Qiu, but Dugu Qiu secretly asked the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency to transport the Longevity Tree Coffin from the north at a huge cost. Unfortunately, the news still leaked out and was targeted by the Gong family, so the Gong family began to secretly intervene and plot against the Chen family's Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. However, because they were afraid of the strength of Longhu Mountain and feared that it would attract the attention of Longhu Mountain, they dared not take drastic actions and could only infiltrate secretly." Huang Chao said.

After hearing Huang Chao's words, Zhang Chen was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Chen Ping to be so courageous as to take on the task of escorting the Longevity Tree Coffin.

Huang Chao saw Zhang Chen's actions and knew that he was overthinking, so he said, "Of course, the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency didn't know the truth. Dugu Qiu sealed the Longevity Tree Coffin and turned it into an ordinary coffin. Then, he entrusted the escort to the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency under the pretext of transporting the body of his relatives back home. The Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency didn't know the truth and accepted the escort without knowing it. Dugu Qiu also caused trouble outside to attract everyone's attention. As he returned to Kyoto, many people also looked over to him. They thought that the Longevity Tree Coffin had been transported to Kyoto by Dugu Qiu a long time ago. Who would have thought that such a precious treasure would be transported by an escort agency?"

"Later, the Gong family got the news accidentally, but they were afraid of alarming Dugu Qiu, the Dasheng royal family, and various powerful people, so they began to plan the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency." Huang Chao said.

"I didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns. Could it be that the old leader of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency was seriously injured, and the other heirs suffered accidents, all of which were the work of the Gong family?" Zhang Chen thought about it and asked.

"It was Chen An's work. The Gong family just pushed him behind the scenes. When the Gong family deposes Chen Ping and promotes Chen An to the position, it will be easy to seize the Longevity Tree Coffin." Huang Chao said, "Even if the chief steward investigates in the future, the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency can be used as a scapegoat. Without solid evidence, the chief steward cannot shake the Gong family."

"How strange!" Zhang Chen said.

"What's so strange?" Huang Chao asked.

"Since the Gong family has already started, why don't they move forward quickly, but instead let Chen Ping jump around?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

"First, behind Chen Ping is Longhu Mountain, and the Gong family does not want to attract the attention of Longhu Mountain. Second, now only Chen Ping knows the whereabouts of the Longevity Tree Coffin. That's why the Gong family secretly made a plan and seized the position of the owner of the escort agency. Then they can rely on the righteousness of the escort agency and ask Chen Ping to hand over the business in his hands, and then they can successfully find the Longevity Tree Coffin." Huang Chao said.

"There is a flaw!" Zhang Chen interrupted Huang Chao and looked at him with burning eyes: "Since Chen Ping thought that the coffin was just an ordinary coffin, why did he hide it?"

"It's because the demon tribe has alerted the enemy. There is a donkey demon in the demon tribe. It saw Chen Ping's team and chased the escort company. Chen Ping had no choice but to hide the coffin and escape. Everyone in the escort company died, and Chen Ping's blood was sucked away by the donkey demon. If it weren't for the people of the Gong family who secretly helped to scare off the donkey demon, I'm afraid Chen Ping would have confessed. Now Chen Ping is the only one in the world who knows the whereabouts of the Longevity Tree Coffin. How can the people of the Gong family not be angry?" Huang Chao's voice was full of gloating:

"It was fate. After the Gong family found out the information about the Longevity Tree Coffin, they wanted to rob the escort secretly, but they were alerted by the donkey monster. Later, the Gong family wanted to find out the whereabouts of the Longevity Tree Coffin, but it made Chen Ping alert and he refused to reveal any information."

"Only the parties involved and the Gong family know what exactly happened. I only got a rough idea." Huang Chao looked at Zhang Chen with a burning gaze.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to do this?"

"Of course we have to do it, but we still need to think carefully about how to do it." Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

Zhang Chen was determined to get the Longevity Tree Coffin, but what he was thinking about was how to get rid of Chen Ping, or get rid of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency, and then put the blame on the Gong family, which would be perfect.

Huang Chao knew Zhang Chen's ability. He had always believed that Zhang Chen was a man of great ability. Seeing Zhang Chen say that he wanted to do something big, he immediately became excited: "How do we do it?"

"Let's take a look at the situation of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency first. The entire Jinling City is under pressure from Zhou Qiucheng, and the Gong family doesn't dare to cause too much trouble. We don't have the best time to take action. You should first pay close attention to all the movements of the Gong family and the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. If anything happens, please be sure to let me know." Zhang Chen gave careful instructions.

As for the matter of the Longevity Tree Coffin, he could only try his best to find a perfect opportunity, an opportunity to remove all the people involved and put the blame on the Gong family.
