I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 391 The Last Night

Bai Lu is the leader of the four great disciples of the Changsheng Patriarch. He has entered the twelfth level and his strength is among the best in the world.

The Changsheng Patriarch sent Bai Lu to collude with the demon clan, while Zhang Chen was in his own little house at this time, secretly planning his own calculations in his heart: "Now everything is on the right track, the next step is to add fuel to the fire and completely push the situation to an uncontrollable point."

"So what should I do next?" Zhang Chen had all sorts of thoughts flashing through his mind: "If I let Monk Haichan and Patriarch Changsheng have a big fight, and then manipulate Monk Haichan to enter the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation and kill him, then Patriarch Changsheng will have yellow mud dripping into his crotch, and he won't be able to explain himself even if he has a mouth."

"I say, since you can control Monk Haichan, then the rest of the ancestors should be within your control." Zhang Chen asked the Great Freedom Demon, and felt that the Great Freedom Demon was hiding his abilities.

The Great Freedom Demon sighed softly: "Have you misunderstood my methods? I usually hide in the souls of cultivators with negative emotions, and when they encounter major events, they become blinded by greed and make wrong choices. In this way, I conquer their minds step by step, and then gradually devour their minds. Although I planted the devil seeds in the hearts of those old guys, I can only affect their judgment and perception. It is not that easy to completely conquer them and turn them into puppets."

"For example, if I control Monk Haichan to go to your Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, once he is inside the Array and faces a life-and-death crisis, Monk Haichan will definitely wake up from my bewitching control and choose to escape. At that time, it will be up to you to operate the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array to suppress and kill him." The Great Freedom Demon said.

Whether it is the Sea Chan Monk in a negative state or the Sea Chan Monk in a positive state, they will regard their own life and death as the most important thing.

Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at the Great Freedom Demon. He did not believe the old guy's words at all. The old guy was hiding too deeply, and the other party's explanation was totally untenable.

However, Zhang Chen knew clearly in his heart that if the Great Freedom Demon forcibly controlled others and took away their will, there would definitely be a price to pay, but he didn't know what that price was.

Over there, Monk Haichan and other ancestors and giants gathered together, and after discussing for half a day, they finally decided to gather the true spirit of the immortal again. Then they saw everyone gathered together, with rays of light flowing out from their hands, gathering in the void and turning into a ball of white light.

"It's still missing a portion of the true spirit. That portion is in Changsheng's hands, but now it has gathered 99% of it, which does not affect the recovery of the immortal's true spirit." Ancestor Xuanji looked at the light suspended in the air and said, "It will take another seven days for the immortal's true spirit to gather again and merge and revive. How about putting it in the golden bowl of Daoist Fellow Haichan to nurture it? There is the power of faith in your golden bowl, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the immortal's true spirit."

Monk Haichan did not refuse. He directly opened his golden bowl and took in the true spirit floating in the void.

He knew in his heart that although what Patriarch Xuanji said sounded nice, about using the power of faith to nourish the soul of the immortal, in reality no one dared to keep the immortal's true spirit by their side, for fear of being possessed by the immortal's true spirit.

And his golden bowl was forged with the power of faith and blessed by the dragon energy of the Humane Dynasty. It possessed all kinds of incredible powers and had a restraining effect on the true spirits of immortals.

The golden bowl took back the immortal's true spirit, and then the monk Haichan said: "The next step is to help the immortal find a physical body to complete his rebirth. This reborn body is very particular. If we choose too bad, the recovery will be too slow, and we will not be able to exert our strength and defeat the Peacock True Spirit. If we choose too strong, once we suppress the Peacock True Spirit, we will be threatened by the immortal..."

Several people began to ponder again, thinking about the carrier of the immortal body. After a long time, Moonlight Fairy said: "There are countless disciples in Wuzhuang Temple. Why should we waste our time? Can't we just go to the mountains and ambush a disciple at random?"

"Moreover, if we ask the immortals to take over the bodies of the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple and attack in the guise of a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, the immortal thieves will be caught off guard. We will have added another 10% of attacks." said the Moonlight Fairy.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and agreed to the proposal of Fairy Yue Guang. Patriarch Dong Xuan said, "This matter needs to be kept secret!"

After everyone discussed it again and came up with a plan, they returned to their own homes to prepare for action.

Qingcheng Mountain is the territory of Wuzhuang Temple. Although Patriarch Changsheng is imprisoned in the blessed land of Qingcheng Mountain, this one-third acre of land is equivalent to Patriarch Changsheng's territory. Patriarch Changsheng's combat power will be infinitely magnified and increased. Although there are many people, they dare not be careless when facing Patriarch Changsheng.

What matters in a battle is: the right time, the right place, and the right people. The right place is in the hands of the Patriarch of Longevity, and even the right time is in the hands of the Patriarch of Longevity. The only thing everyone can strive for is the right people.

Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Chen began to prepare a teapot to boil water. The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon asked, "How do you plan to ask the old monk to enter the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation? Should he walk in directly, or do you have other arrangements?"

Zhang Chen smiled sinisterly when he heard this: "Have you ever heard a word that you can't express clearly even with a mouth?"

When the Great Freedom Demon heard Zhang Chen's strange tone, he couldn't help but shudder, and thought to himself: "Here it comes again! Here it comes again! It's this familiar smell again! This bastard is calculating people again. I have to learn from him. My methods of doing things were too crude before. If I were half as despicable and shameless as him, I wouldn't end up being hated by everyone."

"What are you going to do?" A small notebook appeared in the mind of the Great Freedom Demon, and he was ready to learn Zhang Chen's methods.

Zhang Chen chuckled when he heard this: "It's quite simple. Wait for me to arouse the greed in the heart of the monk Haichan, and then you control the body of the monk Haichan and invite the Patriarch Changsheng to the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. Then, tell him that you have found a way to break the formation. Then, when the time comes, shout, 'Changsheng bastard, you dare to harm me, I will never forgive you even if I become a ghost,' and then jump directly into the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."

"Remember, you have to shout loudly so that everyone can hear it." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's vicious plan, the Great Freedom Demon took a deep breath. This kid's methods were so cruel and vicious that he would not give the Taoist Changsheng any chance to survive.

Remember that! He, the Great Freedom Demon, has learned another trick.

"Zhang Chen!"

At this moment, Xu Erniu came out of the door holding a jade bottle in her hand: "I have refined another bottle of elixir, this time it will definitely improve your aptitude and teach you to embark on the road of cultivation."

Xu Erniu handed the pill to Zhang Chen with anticipation in her eyes, which made Zhang Chen sigh in his heart. He didn't know how to tell Xu Erniu that he had cultivated magic power. Now things have come to a critical moment, and any negligence will lead to big problems.

Xu Erniu has a bad character. If I tell her that I have cultivated my magic power, she will not be able to hide her thoughts. If those people who have lived for countless thousands of years see anything, it will be a big problem. "Okay, I will accept the pills. I hope I can cultivate my magic power and live up to your kindness." Zhang Chen comforted Xu Erniu with a smile.

Xu Erniu said: "It will definitely work this time."

Then Xu Erniu said, "Zhang Chen, when do you think my father will be able to come out of seclusion? Look at my wooden sword, it's starting to weather."

Xu Erniu took out the small wooden sword from her bosom and waved it in front of Zhang Chen. Facing the little loli's expectant eyes, Zhang Chen couldn't help but twitch in his heart. If he told Xu Erniu that his father wanted to kill her, how sad would Xu Erniu be? I'm afraid her whole spirit would collapse, right? She might even have a demon in her heart, and sooner or later she would die under the calamity of the demon, which would become a stumbling block on her future path of cultivation.

Zhang Chen felt heavy in his heart and made up his mind not to let Xu Erniu know the truth. He did everything quietly and would not let Xu Erniu know any clues. Then a big smile appeared on Zhang Chen's face: "Girl, since you have gone up the mountain, are you still afraid that you will not see your father? We are cultivators, and our lifespan is thousands of years. As long as you work hard to cultivate, you will be able to see your father one day."

Xu Erniu sighed softly upon hearing this, her voice unable to conceal her disappointment: "I'm afraid that by then I will have grown up, and I won't miss him anymore."

Zhang Chen was stunned for a long time without saying anything. He thought to himself, "Should I find someone to play the role of Xu Erniu's father? Then make some arrangements to get Xu Erniu's father offline? Will this help Xu Erniu resolve her worries?"

Zhang Chen was filled with uncertainty, not knowing whether he should do this or not. He always had to try his best to perfect Xu Erniu's character, so that Xu Erniu would not have any inner demons on her future path of cultivation.

"Zhang Chen, you should practice well and serve the ancestors well. This is an opportunity for you. If any of the ancestors can solve your problem, we will make a lot of money." Xu Erniu said.

Hearing Xu Erniu's words, Zhang Chen rubbed Xu Erniu's head and said, "You should practice well and put my affairs aside for now. When you have a higher level of cultivation, won't you be more confident in solving the problem for me?"

Zhang Chen didn't want Xu Erniu to delay her practice because of him, lest she waste time, so he spoke up and gave her a reminder.

Xu Erniu sighed when she heard this: "I have countless time to practice, but what about you? If you can't cultivate magical power, your life span will only be sixty years."

"You don't have to worry about me. I have found my own way. As long as I keep devouring various spiritual plants in the world, my cultivation will improve rapidly." Xu Erniu patted Zhang Chen's shoulder and said in a condescending manner: "Zhang Chen, don't worry. I will make sure you live forever."

Zhang Chen smiled gently, put down the kettle in his hand, and said to Xu Erniu, "Girl, I will cook for you today!"

Zhang Chen felt that after today, the entire Wuzhuang Temple would be caught in the hurricane, and even the entire Wuzhuang Temple would be destroyed. By then, it would be difficult for the two of them to have such a quiet meal again.

Zhang Chen personally stewed beef, braised pork elbows, pig's trotters and other delicacies tonight, making a total of eight dishes that were all delicious.

Xu Erniu looked at the meal Zhang Chen had prepared, her eyes full of surprise: "Zhang Chen, you are really good, I didn't expect you to have mastered such a skill."

Xu Erniu's gaze fell on the elbow, her eyes full of burning heat, and she lay directly on the plate and started to eat it.

"Let's have a drink tonight." Zhang Chen stroked Xu Erniu's head with a smile.

Xu Erniu nodded: "Okay, let's eat meat and drink wine."

The two of them ate happily in the house, and soon the table was in a mess, with a hint of drunkenness on their faces.

"Zhang Chen, thank you." Xu Erniu said with a blushing face.

"Why should you thank me? I should thank you. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died outside." Zhang Chen's voice was full of emotion.

"We don't need to say thank you between each other!" Zhang Chen poured a glass of wine for Xu Erniu.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's not say thank you to each other! No thank you!" Xu Erniu said drunkenly, and fell asleep while talking.

Zhang Chen touched Xu Erniu's head, picked her up and put her on the couch, then cleaned up the mess. With a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he asked the Great Freedom Demon: "You said I asked Haichan to steal the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. When the Changsheng Patriarch sees that the treasure mirror is lost, will he kill this girl?"

After all, the Patriarch of Immortality refined the ginseng fruit in order to control the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. By then, the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth will be gone, so what's the point of Xu Erniu keeping it?
However, he was also worried that a big battle would break out later, and the Immortal Thief Dao would kill everyone with the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, which would ruin his plan. You know, without Xu Erniu, the Thief Dao could also forcefully activate part of the power of the Treasure Mirror.

Moreover, if the thief Changsheng sees that the situation is not good and takes the opportunity to run away with the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, Zhang Chen can only watch helplessly, right?
The Mirror of Heaven and Earth is a divine artifact. Even if Zhang Chen has refined a layer of restrictions, he does not know how powerful the Mirror of Heaven and Earth's true power is. This is a major variable that he cannot control.

The immortal villain must die! Even if he escapes, Xu Erniu will never be spared!
In order to encircle and kill the Changsheng bandits, Zhang Chen didn't want to leave any variables.

However, this plan was of great importance, so Zhang Chen consulted the Great Freedom Demon. This old guy had lived a long life, so he asked the Great Freedom Demon for his opinion.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "The ginseng fruit itself is of immeasurable value, your worry is unnecessary!"
