I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 256: Prince, please be magnanimous!
Zhang Chen looked at the little girl who was crying loudly, especially when he heard the little girl say that she wanted to protect herself, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

He had the immobilization talisman and the invisibility spell, so a hundred little kids were not enough for him to kill. However, he was deeply touched by the little kids' dedication.

Zhang Chen stroked the little kid's head and said, "Okay! I'll take you with me."

As long as he brought the little kid down the mountain and sent him to Xie Lingyun, all the troubles would be solved. The only thing that made him a little unwilling was that he had not yet inherited the higher-level formula of Qigong, and he felt a little unwilling in his heart.

Just as Zhang Chen was about to leave with the little kid in his arms, the temple master appeared outside the gate. Looking at the two crying, he asked in surprise, "Why are you two hugging each other and crying?"

The question broke the atmosphere. When the little kid saw the master, he felt like he had met a savior. He cried, "Master, there is an ugly monster who wants to kill me."

The master was stunned when he heard this. Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and took over the conversation: "I have a deep hatred with the Prince of Pingbian, and it is almost a fight to the death. I just met the Prince of Pingbian. I am afraid that the Prince of Pingbian will not give up and will have a fight with me. I don't want to be involved in the Taoist temple. I am about to go down the mountain and leave. I hope the master will help me."

As he spoke, the magic power in Zhang Chen's body was already starting to work. If the temple master wanted to stop him, he would have no choice but to betray his kindness and kill him.

Liu Feng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Chen in amazement: "It turns out that the person who was wanted by the Pingbian Palace and destroyed the little prince's appearance was you."

"It's me." Zhang Chen nodded.

"You are so bold that King Pingbian hates you to death. He wants to eat you alive, skin you alive, and burn you to death." Liu Feng sighed softly.

Zhang Chen smiled helplessly: "I just want to live, what have I done wrong? He won't let me live, so of course I have to resist."

Liu Feng scratched his head when he heard this: "It's really troublesome."

"Master, please make way and allow me to go down the mountain." Zhang Chen said respectfully.

Liu Feng glared at Zhang Chen and said, "Why are you going down the mountain? This is Huangli Temple, not Pingbian Palace. You should stay in the Taoist temple and wait for my news."

Halfway through the walk, he became a little worried, fearing that Zhang Chen would take the opportunity to run away, so he stopped and turned around to warn him: "Don't run away before you get my news!"

After finishing his words, Liu Feng turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Xiao Douding and Zhang Chen standing there. Xiao Douding looked at Zhang Chen with tears in his eyes: "Master, do you mean that he can handle this matter, and we don't have to run away?"

"That should be it." Zhang Chen felt somewhat doubtful. Zhang Xiaohua was the prince of the Pingbian Palace, and he was just a small disciple of Huang Liguan. What qualifications did he have to make Huang Liguan fight against the Pingbian Palace?

For Huang Liguan, the most correct choice is to hand over his own property, rather than confronting and fighting to the death with the Hepingbian Palace.

But why did Liu Feng go to the Hepingbian Palace to plead for mercy?

Although Liu Feng spoke with great confidence, Zhang Chen was secretly on guard and did not dare to be careless. He secretly urged the dragon energy to ask the fox fairy Nannan to carry the explosives and rush towards the Taoist temple. If Zhang Xiaohua really sent a large army to kill him at all costs, he would have to fight with the other party.

As long as the strong people above Yin Shen don't come out, no one can stop me.

Liu Feng walked out of the Taoist temple and took a shortcut to the gate at the foot of the mountain. He saw Zhang Xiaohua hurrying down the mountain from a distance, so he quickly called out to her, "Zhang Xiaohua."

"Master." Zhang Xiaohua was walking down the mountain with her head down. She heard Liu Feng calling from afar, so she stopped and bowed to Liu Feng.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you." Liu Feng said to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua's face changed when she heard that, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Master, please wait a moment. I have found a mortal enemy in the Taoist temple. I will gather my men and kill him, and then I will come to you to wait for your orders."

Hearing this, the abbot said, "I came to you because of Zhang Chen. I know about the grudge between you and Zhang Chen. You can't touch Zhang Chen."

Zhang Xiaohua's face changed when she heard this, and a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes: "The master of the temple wants to interfere in the personal feud between Zhang Chen and me? Is this your intention, or is this the intention of the entire Taoist temple behind you?"

He was not afraid of Liu Feng. Although he was a disciple, he was Gu Mingyue's direct disciple. In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as Liu Feng.

Hearing Liu Feng's words, and looking at Zhang Xiaohua's murderous eyes, Liu Feng smiled bitterly: "Don't get excited, I'm not stopping you for selfish reasons. Now Huang Tiandao wants to win over Xie Lingyun and drag Xie Xuan into the water, and Zhang Chen is the most important key point. As far as I know, dragging Xie Xuan into the water is not only my goal, but the old prince has spent countless thoughts, but still has no results. Xie Xuan is a stone in the pit, simply smelly and hard, and he is also loyal to the Dasheng royal family. It is difficult to win him over. Now that I have finally found a glimmer of opportunity, the old Taoist begs the young prince to consider the overall situation and be patient for a while."

Liu Feng's voice was full of pleading: "The young prince is the only heir to the palace. He should consider the overall situation of the palace. How can we ruin our calculations because of personal grudges? How important is the Inspection Office represented by Xie Xuan to the situation in the north? There is no need for me to say more, right?"

"He actually has such a close relationship with Xie Lingyun? Back then when we were discussing Taoism in the academy, Xie Lingyun sent martial arts masters from the Inspection Office to chase Zhang Chen. When those martial arts masters used their qi and blood to force Mr. Wuliu's Yin spirit to be unable to leave his body, I felt that something was wrong. I didn't expect that this bitch actually had something to do with Zhang Chen." Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were full of hostility.

"A little impatience will ruin a great plan. The prince wants you to pursue Xie Lingyun. If you can take Xie Lingyun down, the entire Northern Procuratorate will naturally be yours, and all the imperial forces in the North will be eliminated. The prince's last piece of territory will also be pieced together, and then we will have a lot to do." Liu Feng looked around and said in a low voice.

"I do want to pursue Xie Lingyun, but Xie Lingyun has refused all my invitations. What else can I do? Even if I have more tricks, I can't use them if I can't see her in person." Zhang Xiaohua sighed dejectedly when he heard this.

Liu Feng raised his lips and said, "It's not difficult. You may not know that Xie Lingyun comes to the Taoist temple every seven days to meet Zhang Chen. If you seize the opportunity, you won't have to worry about not being able to meet Xie Lingyun."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she heard that, but then her expression changed again: "Something is wrong! Why would Xie Lingyun come here to meet Zhang Chen? Could it be that the two of them have some affair in private? If so, wouldn't that make me a cuckold?"

"You think too much. The reason why Xie Lingyun came to see Zhang Chen is just because she likes this guy and wants to promote him. Xie Lingyun thinks highly of Zhang Chen. If you kill Zhang Chen, Xie Lingyun will definitely be angry. At that time, Xie Lingyun will probably turn against the prince. At that time, don't even think about contacting Xie Lingyun. She will definitely make a mortal enemy of you."

"Young master, you might as well calm down. Once you have captured Xie Lingyun, it will be up to you to decide how to deal with Zhang Chen." Liu Feng said with a smile, his voice full of humble flattery.

Given Zhang Xiaohua's power, it is indeed worth it for him to lower his posture and curry favor with her.

"It seems that we can only let this bastard live a little longer." Zhang Xiaohua's voice was full of uncontrollable anger. "Not only that, if you want to contact Xie Lingyun, you also need to build a good relationship with Zhang Chen, so that you can use Zhang Chen to get close to Xie Lingyun." Liu Feng said to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua's face became even uglier at this time: "You still want me to please him? I wish I could tear out his tendons and skin him alive. He might as well kill me directly if he asked me to please him. He hurt me so badly. I would rather eat shit than please him."

If asked to please Zhang Chen, he would rather eat feces.

"Young master, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. If you can catch up with Xie Lingyun, the entire North will be yours. By then, the fate of the North will be unified, and the ancestral veins of the North will transform and evolve into dragon veins comparable to those of the imperial court. The ancestors of the Pingbian Palace will also complete the final change. How incredible will you gain by then? The Pingbian Palace will have the hope of becoming the leader of the world and replacing the emperor of Shenzhou. Compared with the glorious future, what is this mere humiliation now?" Liu Feng was eloquent at this time, and his words made Zhang Xiaohua's heart sway.

He just couldn't bring himself to please Zhang Chen.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was interested but couldn't bring herself to speak, Liu Feng handed over the ladder in time: "If the young prince is interested, I am willing to help bring them together and resolve the conflict between you two."

Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to say "Hmm" and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Brother, come with me." Liu Feng was overjoyed to see that Zhang Xiaohua had been persuaded. He led Zhang Xiaohua back up the mountain to his house, and then told the Taoist boy beside him, "Go, call Zhang Chen."

Zhang Xiaohua watched the Taoist boy go away and said, "I want to reconcile with Zhang Chen, but I'm afraid that boy won't reconcile with me. I've been neighbors with that boy for several years, and he's very stubborn, like a stubborn donkey..."

"It would be fine if he is sensible. If not, I will let my junior brothers deal with him. We have plenty of ways to make him surrender." Liu Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, a look of relief on her face, and then she said no more.

Zhang Chen was standing in the room waiting anxiously. At this moment, a little Taoist boy called out from outside the door: "Where is Zhang Chen?"

"Zhang Chen is here. I wonder what senior brother wants to call me for?" Zhang Chen was secretly on guard and asked.

"The abbot wants you to come over and is waiting for you in the bedroom." The young Taoist priest said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I'll go right away."

The little kid standing by was delighted at this moment: "The abbot asked you to go, so it must be done."

Hearing what Xiao Douding said, Zhang Chen's face was calm and he did not show any joy. On the contrary, he became more alert in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he remained calm and said, "Wait for me here. I will go to see the abbot."

"I'll go with you." Little Douding had a smile on his face.

Zhang Chen still needs to get the explosives from the vixen, so how can he bring the little kid with him?

So he held the little bean's head and said, "Be obedient and wait for me here, or I won't buy you preserved fruits in the future."

Hearing Zhang Chen's threat, the little kid could only nod obediently and then watch Zhang Chen go away.

Zhang Chen was walking in the palaces of the Taoist temple. When he came to a dense forest, he saw the fox fairy Nannan holding a pack of explosives, waiting for him under a big tree. When she saw Zhang Chen, the fox fairy Nannan's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes were full of joy. She still had the same attitude of wanting to cause chaos in the world: "After receiving your message, I hurried to bring the pack of explosives. Am I not late this time?"

"Of course not." Zhang Chen said with a smile, and he muttered to himself: "I wonder what this vixen's expression would be if she knew that I used explosive packs to deal with Zhang Xiaohua."

"Did you bring grenades?" Zhang Chen asked.

The explosive packs were too large to be carried around, so Zhang Chen developed grenades that could be carried around easily.

"Of course I brought ten of them." Fox Fairy Nannan took off ten grenades from her waist.

There were not many grenades, but they were enough to buy Zhang Chen time to react. If an accident really happened, it would be enough to delay the time for the fox fairy Nannan to deliver the explosives.

"Are we going to blow up this Taoist temple right now?" The fox fairy Nannan's voice sounded a little excited.

Zhang Chen said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, hide yourself well and find a secret place outside the Taoist temple to wait for my news."

The fox fairy Nannan looked disappointed when she heard this. Zhang Chen carefully hung the grenade around his waist, covered it with his coat, and after tidying up his clothes, he stood up and walked towards the yard where Liu Feng was.

"Could it be that Liu Feng persuaded Zhang Xiaohua? Zhang Xiaohua is a very stubborn girl. How did he persuade Zhang Xiaohua? If he didn't persuade Zhang Xiaohua, then he must have set up an ambush by calling me over this time, wanting to capture me to please Zhang Xiaohua..." No matter how Zhang Chen thought about it, he felt that in Huang Tiandao's eyes, his value was definitely not as good as Zhang Xiaohua, and there was no comparison between the two.

Zhang Xiaohua has the Pingbian Palace behind her, which can bring huge benefits to Huang Liguan. Moreover, Huang Liguan and the Pingbian Palace have been secretly colluding with each other, and the two sides have become a community of interests. No matter what, there is no reason for Huang Liguan to help her.

But he still had some hope in his heart and didn't want to give up the higher-level cultivation secret method of Qigong, so he still wanted to go and take a look.

At worst, I can fake my own death or use a bomb to rush out.

Zhang Chen walked all the way to the gate of Liu Feng, glanced at the courtyard, and it didn't look like there was an ambush, so he walked into the courtyard with peace of mind, but saw Liu Feng sitting in front of a stool making tea, while Zhang Xiaohua was drinking the tea quietly.

Seeing Zhang Chen coming, Liu Feng smiled: "You're here? Come and take a seat. I have something good to tell you."
