I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 479 Farewell, Relatives
Xie Lingyun's words were tough and overbearing. Zhang Chen actually wanted to tell Xie Lingyun that he was really not afraid of the Gong family, but seeing that Xie Lingyun had already spoken out, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Xie Lingyun, your Inspection Office is now in a difficult situation, do you still want to offend my Gong family?" Hei Lao appeared at the bow of the boat at some point, looking down at Xie Lingyun with a pair of eyes, his voice full of murderous intent.

"Then you should know that my Inspection Office has come to this point now, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Xie Lingyun turned his head and looked at Gong Hei.

Gong Hei took a deep breath upon hearing this, he was also helpless in his heart, now the Censorate had reached the last moment, and he didn't mind throwing the jar into the ground, if he fought to the death with him before the decisive battle at the Hepingbian Palace, he would face the final counterattack of the Censorate, and the masters of the Gong family might not be able to leave the north.

So facing the aggressive Xie Lingyun, Gong Hei chose to swallow his anger: "Since Captain Xie has come forward, my Gong family will of course give you face, but I still need to ask this kid a question. After asking, this person will be taken away by Captain Xie."

Xie Lingyun did not comment upon hearing this, but Gong Hei turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen: "Boy, let me ask you, where is Gong Bai?"

That day, he and Gong Bai chased Zhang Chen and Zhou Chuan respectively. Later, he was seriously injured by Zhou Chuan, and Gong Bai also lost his trace. Gong Bai is the top master of the Gong family and the existence that suppresses destiny. There must not be any mistakes.

"Your question is very strange. I don't know the Gong Bai you mentioned. How would I know where he went?" Zhang Chen replied indifferently while standing at the bow of the boat.

Of course he knew where Gong Bai had gone. Gong Bai had been controlled by the Blood God to lurk at the Great Wall of Bones, waiting for the demon army to enter the pass. Then he would be able to kill quickly to increase his strength and strive to evolve into a master of the Fruit Realm as soon as possible.

"You're talking nonsense! Gong Bai clearly went to kill you that day. You are fine now, but Gong Bai is missing. Who would believe you if you said you didn't know Gong Bai's whereabouts?" Gong Hei was so angry that he cursed and pointed at Zhang Chen and scolded him.

"Look, I told you but you don't believe me, what can I do?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

Then Zhang Chen shut his mouth and stopped talking. Xie Lingyun glanced at Zhang Chen, feeling somewhat surprised about the dispute between Zhang Chen and the Gong family, so he turned his head and looked at Gong Hei: "Since my brother said that he doesn't know Gong Bai and doesn't know where Gong Bai has gone, please make way, ancestor."

Gong Hei was so angry that his face turned blue. The Gong family disciples beside him were also furious. They were rubbing their hands and glaring, wishing they could rush out and kill people. However, Gong Hei remained rational after all. He waved his hand and asked the Gong family disciples to make way. He sneered and said, "I hope you can still be so tough when the Inspection Office and the Pingbian Palace have a decisive battle."

"Don't bother your Excellency. No one in this world who can challenge my Inspection Office has been born yet!" Xie Lingyun replied indifferently.

Zhang Chen must be saved. Zhang Chen masters the art of controlling water. If the Inspection Office wants to fight its way out, it cannot do without the help of Zhang Chen's art of controlling water.

With Zhang Chen's water control skills, if he is willing to lend a hand, even if King Pingbian has millions of troops, the Inspector General can still break out of the siege.

Xie Lingyun took a step forward, stepped on the water and landed on the bow of Zhang Chen's boat. Then Zhang Chen urged the ice boat to sail away, leaving behind the Gong family members with anger on their faces.

"Ancestor, the Inspection Office is now nothing but a grasshopper in autumn. Are we just going to let them go like this?" A steward of the Gong family complained indignantly.

"Haha, the elite troops of the Jianxiusi are still there. If we take action now, we will face a dying counterattack from the Jianxiusi, which is really not worth it. When the time comes for Prince Pingbian and the Jianxiusi to settle accounts, that will be our chance for revenge. We will help Prince Pingbian's Mansion to throw all the Jianxiusi into the water to feed the turtles." Gong Hei snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the departing Bingchuan.

Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun were sailing away on the ice boat. Xie Lingyun turned and looked at Zhang Chen: "My brother, you are finally back. If you don't come out, I will go underground to look for you."

"Sister, aren't you aware of my methods? Why worry about me?" Zhang Chen said.

"I'm not worried about you, but I want to ask for your help. You see, the three million troops of King Pingbian have gathered and have vaguely surrounded the fleet of the Inspection Office. They are just waiting for those beasts of the demon tribe to enter the pass and cooperate with the water monsters of the demon tribe to launch a fatal attack on my Inspection Office. My fifty thousand troops of the Inspection Office are now trapped here. If you don't come out, you won't see me again in the future." Xie Lingyun did not hide his purpose:

"I am just going to use your water control skills to buy a glimmer of hope for my Inspection Office."

Zhang Chen looked at the densely packed warships in the distance. The number of warships of the Pingbian Palace was probably tens of thousands, while the army of the Jianxiusi had only a few hundred ships. The strength gap between the two sides was huge.

Zhang Chen looked at the big ship in the distance, with a look of compassion in his eyes: "I do have a way to carve out a way for Jianxiusi to survive, but I feel sorry for the millions of soldiers of Pingbian Palace. After all, they are the elite of our human race. If they are all buried in the river..."

There was a hint of reluctance in Zhang Chen's voice. After all, he was not a heartless man. Although the two sides had different positions, they were the vital forces of the human race after all.

"Do you think the Pingbian Palace will let you go? When the Pingbian Palace's big knife cuts your neck, you will have no mercy in your heart." Xie Lingyun said angrily:
"Originally, the only advantage of the Pingbian Palace was those soldiers, but now we have the help of the demon clan masters, as well as the assistance of the Taiping Dao masters. Now all the shortcomings have been made up. Even if an eleventh-level strongman comes to the North, he will not get any benefits. If you don't cooperate with the Inspection Office, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the North." Xie Lingyun advised earnestly.

Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Lingyun. What could he say?
He can't say anything!
Now both sides are in the same boat. If one of them fails, the other will not have an easy life either.

"There's a severe flood in the north. How's my family doing?" Zhang Chen asked.

"They are all in the fleet." Xie Lingyun said: "Now the Inspection Office and the Pingbian Palace have torn their relations, and we dare not keep your parents in the city. Moreover, Goulan County has become a swamp and has been submerged by floods. I am also afraid that something will happen to your family." Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Lingyun and said: "I can't help you now!"

If the inspector was defeated, he might have a chance to escape with the help of his escape technique, but he would not be able to escape with his younger brothers and sisters.

"I don't mean to put you on the rack." Xie Lingyun explained quickly: "The city is in complete chaos now. Various forces are taking advantage of the flood to burn, kill and loot in Goulan County. It's not safe for your family to stay in the city."

As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the Jianxiusi's fleet. Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw that the Jianxiusi's fleet was shrouded in dragon energy. The dragon energy was purple in color, and was different from the dragon energy of the Hepingbian Palace.

"That is the dragon energy of the Dasheng court." Zhang Chen said to himself. Compared with the Dasheng dragon energy, the dragon energy of the Pingbian Palace seemed to be just average. There was no comparison between the two sides.

Unfortunately, dragon energy cannot kill the enemy directly, it can only suppress everything. Otherwise, if the two sides were competing in dragon energy, the Inspector would have won without even having to make a move.

"Come on board." Xie Lingyun made a gesture of invitation.

The water under Zhang Chen's feet rose, and the ice boat disintegrated in an instant. A stream of water lifted the package of the earth element magnet and landed on the deck.

The weapons in the hands of the guards of the Censorate kept humming and the armor on their bodies vibrated, shocking everyone and they all looked at the iron lump with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

"Are you going to see my father first, or your family?" Xie Lingyun asked.

"It's been a long time since I last saw my younger brothers and sisters." Zhang Chen did not respond to Xie Lingyun's words, but sighed, his voice full of emotion.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Lingyun understood what he meant: "Come with me."

The two walked towards the central warship. The large ships of the Inspection Office were naturally connected by iron chains. The two passed through more than 20 large ships along the way. They heard a burst of laughter in the distance. Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the laughter and saw a dozen children playing shuttlecock on the deck.

One of them was about six or seven years old. Although he hadn't seen him for some years, Zhang Chen recognized him at a glance. It was his younger brother Zhang Fei.

Today, Zhang Fei is wearing luxurious silk that is carved with exquisite patterns. It is obvious that it is embroidered with fine needlework. The clothes are worth a lot of money.

What made Zhang Chen frown was that Zhang Fei was fair and tender, and had become as fat as a ball. It looked like a small rubber ball jumping there, which made Zhang Chen's eyelids twitch.

He could see that Zhang Fei had lived a very comfortable life these years and had not suffered any hardship at all, but why did he become so fat?

Zhang Chen looked Zhang Fei up and down, then turned to look at Xie Lingyun. Just as he was about to ask, Xie Lingyun said, "Don't blame me. Your little brother eats a roast chicken and a roast goose every day, and no one can persuade him. Fortunately, I found a doctor to prescribe some food to strengthen the stomach and digestion, otherwise this kid's spleen and stomach would have been damaged."

"Nonsense! Why doesn't mother do anything about it?" Zhang Chen's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Don't you know your stepmother's temper? She spoils him to the sky and is unwilling to discipline him?" Xie Lingyun said helplessly.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "Next we have to ask him to practice martial arts, otherwise if he gains weight again, it will be too late for him to practice martial arts."

Zhang Chen said this and called out to the little fat ball in the distance: "Zhang Fei!"

The little ball that was bouncing over there paused, turned its head and looked at Zhang Chen, eyes full of disbelief, and rubbed its eyes vigorously: "Big Brother!!!"

Then the small ball was seen flying all the way and crashing into Zhang Chen.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Zhang Chen saw the other party jumping around and was worried that he would turn into a ball and fly out.

"Brother, where have you been all these years? Why is there no news from you at all!" The little fat man shouted as he rushed over.
