I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 448 Trading
Before Zhang Chen, there had never been any formations in this world, so it was normal that the Bear Demon King could not recognize it.

"This seems to be the legendary formation." Bai Cang, as the ancestor of the fox clan, had excavated countless mysterious ruins and had seen records about large formations in ancient books.

"Formation? What is that?" the Bear Demon King asked curiously.

Bai Cang said: "It is a mysterious formation that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the sun and the moon, and can defeat the strong with the weak. Its power is a thousand times that of the Feng Shui formation!"

The Bear Demon King's face turned serious when he heard this: "So, we are in trouble?"

"It's not that there is trouble, but that there is a huge trouble! The wind in this formation is fierce and ferocious, it is extremely dangerous, we must never step into it." Bai Cang said.

“No matter how ferocious it is, what can it do? The scope of this formation is limited. Can’t we crush it to pieces by using our magic of heaven and earth?” The Bear Demon King was not convinced.

“If it were somewhere else, of course the formation could be broken easily, but this place is connected to the ancestral veins of the North Land, and breaking the formation is equivalent to attacking the veins directly.” Bai Cang shook his head to reject this proposal. He looked at the formation in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Now we can only think of a way to negotiate." Bai Cang took a breath, and his voice was like thunder that entered the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation:
"Zhang Chen, can you come out and see me? I have something to say to you, ancestor."

"What do you have to say? Now that things have come to this, we have already torn our relationship apart. Only one of us can survive. Do you think there is any need to discuss it?"

"I can help you deal with the Pingbian Palace!" Bai Cang spoke and used his trump card.

Zhang Chen's heart moved when he heard this. If he could use the help of the demon tribe to attack the Pingbian Palace, it would be a hundred benefits for him and no harm at all.

"How can I believe you? Don't think I don't know that the demon clan and the Pingbian Palace are now in cahoots with each other. You said you would help me deal with the Pingbian Palace, but I don't believe you at all." Zhang Chen sneered as he stood in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Bai Cang looked at Zhang Chen in surprise. He never expected that the plan between the demon clan and the Prince's Palace in Pingbian was actually seen through by Zhang Chen.

"I will tell you a piece of news, and then you will know my sincerity." For the sake of his own body, Bai Cang did not care about so many things at this time. The bloodline of his body has evolved to the seven-tailed one, and it is only one step away from the eight-tailed one. He must not give up his own body.

"Tell me about it." Zhang Chen did not comment.

"King Pingbian has colluded with the demon clan and secretly withdrew the three million troops of the Great Wall of Bones. Now the demon army has climbed up the Great Wall of Bones and completely occupied it. As long as I give the order, millions of demon troops will rush forward and march straight into the human territory." Bai Cang said solemnly.

Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes: "The demons have taken control of the Great Wall of Bones?"

"Otherwise, how do you think we, the masters of the demon race, dare to come to the human race's territory and cause trouble? We must always leave a way out for ourselves." Bai Cang stared at Zhang Chen: "This information is top secret, which is enough to prove my sincerity."

Zhang Chen stopped talking, and quickly weighed the various key points in his mind. His eyes were so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of them.

"How do you want to cooperate with me?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You want to destroy the Pingbian Palace, and I also want to annex the Pingbian Palace's power. I think we can cooperate. By then, my demon clan will have obtained the Pingbian Palace's territory, and your enemies will be wiped out. Isn't it a win-win situation?" Bai Cang said, his voice full of temptation.

Zhang Chen had to admit that Bai Cang's words made sense.

Zhang Chen shook his head after hearing this and rejected Bai Cang's proposal: "Your plan is good, but I cannot betray my race. Once the demon race invades the human race, countless people will be eaten by blood. How can I, Zhang Chen, do such a heartless thing?"

Although Zhang Chen wanted to kill King Pingbian's ancestors and grandchildren, he was still a human being with a conscience. He could not do something that would cause his descendants to stab him in the back.

Zhang Chen didn't want to bear the eternal infamy.

"Even if you didn't do it, King Pingbian has already done it. Moreover, the demon army has occupied the Great Wall of Bones. Millions of troops are waiting outside the Great Wall of Bones, and armies from all races are coming. This is the general trend. Even if the three great artifacts of your human race descend, they cannot stop this trend." Bai Cang's voice was full of solemnity, and he carefully analyzed for Zhang Chen:

"Whether you harm the Pingbian Palace or not, the demon army's entry into the pass is a foregone conclusion, and this cannot be changed by human power. The culprit of all this is the Pingbian King. If you can kill the Pingbian King, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the human race. Otherwise, if the Pingbian King continues to live, I don't know how chaotic the Northland will be! My friend, this action is of immeasurable merit."

Zhang Chen agreed with this. The chaos in the Northland was inevitable. His cooperation with the demons to kill King Pingbian would not affect the situation in the Northland. But he was not a fool. He knew the significance of King Pingbian to the Northland. If King Pingbian was still alive, the backbone of the Northland would not disappear. King Pingbian still had the ability to clean up the situation and fight against the demons. If King Pingbian died, the situation in the Northland would be the worst and it would be completely out of control.

"If I kill King Pingbian, the situation in the North will be even worse. The North will be leaderless and will completely lose the ability to resist. But King Pingbian is the culprit, a traitor of our human race. Should I keep him alive to cause trouble for myself just because of the situation in the North? Besides, only if King Pingbian dies will the court have a chance to take back the North and perhaps end the unrest as quickly as possible." Zhang Chen kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and he was struggling with his conscience as he stood in the formation.

His inner struggle and torment are absolutely incomprehensible to outsiders.

After a long while, Zhang Chen exhaled softly: "How can I be sure that you won't go back on your word? What if I return your body to you and you gather the demon clan masters to surround and kill me? How can I survive?"

In the end, he chose to cooperate with Bai Cang and kill the bastard King Pingbian. He didn't want to show any mercy to such a traitor.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Bai Cang smiled bitterly and said, "You can ask Chen Sanliang to be your guarantor! Chen Sanliang has a high status in my demon clan. If he is willing to be our guarantor, we can rest assured and complete the cooperation."

Hearing Bai Cang's words, Zhang Chen was surprised: "Chen Sanliang's status is so high?"

"Mr. Chen is a powerful man who is only one step away from achieving Yang God status and mastering a great way. Such people are treasures no matter which race they are from. Moreover, the fact that the demon clan was able to occupy the Great Wall of Bones and cooperate with the Hepingbian Palace was all due to Mr. Chen's efforts in matchmaking. This time when the demon clan invaded the human race, Mr. Chen Sanliang received orders from the ancestor and was the only commander!" For the sake of his own body, Bai Cang didn't care about the secrets of the demon clan at this time, and he blurted out everything in one go.

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank rapidly upon hearing this, and a great wave of emotions surged in his heart: "Has Chen Sanliang gotten to this point? Is he the mastermind behind this monster invasion?"

The fox spirit controlled the power of the mind and could only sense the fragments of Zhang Chen's thoughts. How could she not know what Zhang Chen was thinking? So she smiled and said, "You should know that the demon race is a collective name for the mixture of countless races. Your human race is actually a part of the demon race. If you call it by the name of a demon, you can call it: human demon. The demon race is a large collective name, which includes the fox race, tiger race, cat race, etc., and your human race is one of them. It's just that your human ancestors became powerful and thought that they were not the same kind as the demon race, so they stopped calling themselves demons and called themselves the human race. They also expelled all the demons, so the demons had to unite to fight against the human race."

"So it's not uncommon for there to be demons among the demon race." Bai Cang explained to Zhang Chen. His explanation was really detailed and was able to eliminate the slight barrier in Zhang Chen's heart to a great extent.

Zhang Chen suddenly realized that the human race and the demon race had this saying:

"Please invite Mr. Chen Sanliang here. I have something to ask him in person."

Bai Cang did not elaborate further, and his evil spirit went away. Half a day later, Chen Sanliang and Bai Cang came together.

At this time in the formation, Bai Cang only had two lives left, while Zhang Chen's Blood God Son had made great progress.

"Zhang Chen." Chen Sanliang stood outside the formation. He was so thin that he looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind. He looked much older, and all the hair on his head had turned white.

"Sir, you've grown old again." Zhang Chen looked at Chen Sanliang, who was still wearing the robe that Han Suzhen had sewn for him. The robe had become old and torn, and was patched up beyond recognition. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable of forcing Mr. Bai Cang into this state." Chen Sanliang looked at Zhang Chen, his eyes full of relief.

"It's a pity that I acquired these skills too late, otherwise my master would not have died in vain." Zhang Chen stared at Chen Sanliang, testing his reaction.

Sure enough, Chen Sanliang was filled with deep hatred and murderous intent when he heard this: "Those Confucian hypocrites deserve to die! One day, I will kill them all, grind their bones to dust, and dig up their ancestral graves!"

It can be seen that the hatred in Chen Sanliang's heart has reached a point where it cannot be resolved.

As his emotions fluctuated, the muscles on his face twisted, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, so terrifying and hideous that people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"So this is the reason why you led the demon army to cross the Great Wall of Bones?" Zhang Chen asked.

Chen Sanliang nodded: "Yes, this is my reason! I want all the Confucianists to be buried with me!"

Zhang Chen was speechless at this time. He was not Chen Sanliang, and could not stand in Chen Sanliang's position to feel the pain of losing his lover, so naturally he could not persuade others to be "magnanimous".
