I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 489: The Fallen Bell

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

At this time, the flood was raging. Although there was no bright moon on the sea, the flood seemed to have no end at a glance, which gave it a certain artistic conception.

In addition, the full moon at this time makes the scenery even more pleasant.

Just as Zhang Chen was lamenting that human relationships were like a spider web, Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Chen and said, "If you have the ability, try your best to drown the Pingbian Prince's navy, and then dismember the Pingbian Prince's ship. The people who fell into the water will have a chance to survive if they get the planks. I don't know how many people can be saved, and it will be considered a great merit."

"I didn't think of this. If we can destroy the navy of Prince Pingbian's Palace, wouldn't tens of thousands of ships be able to save countless people?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "If you want to destroy the navy of Prince Pingbian's Palace, why do you need to smash the ships? I naturally have a way to make the navy army be buried in the stomachs of fish and shrimps."

The three of them talked for a while, and then Zhang Chen returned to the cabin to rest and wait for the arrival of the navy from the Prince Pingbian's Palace.

Time passed little by little. During the day, Zhang Chen used the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to reflect the old eunuch's traces. At night, Zhang Chen collected moonlight and then ran wildly in the spiritual world, trying to search for divine power and see if he could gather another amount of divine power.

If he could gather together the thirty-three divine powers and transform them into a complete divine power, Zhang Chen would not dare to compete with even the masters who have achieved enlightenment.

Time flies by so fast

One night, when Zhang Chen was about to meditate, Xie Xuan appeared outside his door and said, "Brother Zhang, it's bad! The water tribe army has arrived! I got the news that the water tribe army will arrive at the battlefield in about an hour."

"It seems I won't be able to sleep tonight." Zhang Chen stood up slowly, a murderous look in his eyes: "Thank you, Chief, for your patience. I will go and fight the monster tribe when I am ready."

Xie Xuan turned and left after hearing that. Zhang Chen looked towards the corner of the cabin and saw a red light flashing in the corner, and Gong Bai appeared in the shadow.

"From today on, Blood Blade will have no scruples anymore. As long as they are the northern demon army or the strong human beings, you can kill them at will." Zhang Chen looked at Gong Bai.

Upon hearing this, Gong Bai flashed and disappeared into the cabin.

Further away, on King Pingbian’s warship, King Pingbian and a young man of four or five years old were sitting on the deck drinking.

The young man was none other than the Great Immortal Huli. At this moment, he looked at the rippling water and the large ship of the Inspection Office floating in the water, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Ancestor, with your ability, as long as you make a slight move, I will call on my gods to cooperate with us, and it will only take a snap to encircle and wipe out Xie Xuan and the army of the Inspection Office. Why bother waiting for the arrival of the water tribe army?" King Pingbian's voice was full of confusion. The Great Immortal Huli is a twelfth-level god. Even if the other party is blessed by the dragon energy of the Dasheng Dynasty, would he be worthy of the Great Immortal Huli's fear?

The Great Immortal Hu Li withdrew his gaze from the large ship of the Inspectorate Navy. He was certainly not afraid of the 5,000-strong army of the Inspectorate Navy and the victorious imperial court navy. What he was wary of was a man on that ship.

Huli Daxian sniffed and he clearly smelled a familiar smell that was still fresh in his memory.

He is too familiar with Zhang Chen!

That taste is literally engraved in my bones.

Of course, it's not that Huli Daxian has no way to kill Zhang Chen. For example, he can attack from a distance and secretly move a mountain to smash the guy to death. But Xie Xuan is on the boat and he will never let the mountain fall on the boat. As long as Xie Xuan blocks his attack for a moment, the guy will have a chance to react, and then he will be in trouble.

Therefore, the Great Immortal Huli felt that it would be better for him not to show up if he could. What if he got himself involved, or lost face in front of his subordinates? How would he have the face to rule the demon clan then?
He doesn't want to embarrass himself!
Facing the question raised by King Pingbian, Huli Daxian said impatiently: "He is just a ninth-rank master. I couldn't kill him once, so why would I kill him a second time? Wouldn't it damage my reputation if it got out? Don't worry, my aquatic masters have arrived and will definitely sink the 5,000 soldiers of the Inspection Office into the water to feed the fish and shrimps."

The voice of the Immortal Hu Li was full of understatement, and King Pingbian secretly complained in his heart: "You are such a bastard. You are a twelfth-level god, but you were scared away by someone. You can't even kill Xie Xuan, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be awesome here."

While complaining, King Pingbian turned his head to look at the three Heavenly Masters of Huang Tiandao not far away, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, I didn't put all my hopes on that beast, otherwise I don't know what the end would be."

The Great Immortal Hu Li looked at Chen Sanliang who was waiting on the side and said, "I heard that Zhang Chen is your disciple?"

Chen Sanliang hurriedly said: "Reporting to the ancestor, this person is not my disciple, but my wife's disciple."

Hu Li Daxian's eyes showed a hint of amusement: "So, you are a family?" Chen Sanliang smiled bitterly: "We can't say we are a family, but we do have some friendship."

"If you can win that guy over to my demon clan, I, the ancestor, promise to fight those old guys from the Confucian School for you. Or..." Hu Li Daxian took out a small bell and handed it to Chen Sanliang: "Use this to kill him, which will be considered as eliminating a great threat to my demon clan, and I can also help you get revenge."

“This bell...?” Chen Sanliang looked at the bell with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"This bell is very special and mysterious. Once it is activated, it can take away a person's soul and absorb it into the bell. Even if a mortal holds it in his hand and activates it with his lifespan, a tenth-level strongman will be caught without any defense. If it falls into the hands of a cultivator, the Yin God can shake the existence of the twelfth level. This secret treasure was obtained by me by chance in the past, and it is also my life-saving magic weapon. The reason why I opened my spiritual wisdom in the past was all thanks to this bell." The Great Immortal Hu Li said: "Even when I overcame the three disasters in the past, it was all thanks to this treasure."

He was able to rise from ignorance and become a figure at the level of the demon clan's ancestor, so he must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

"You have a close relationship with Zhang Chen, so you might as well pretend to be close to him, and then secretly activate this treasure to absorb his soul. By then, I, your ancestor, will even be able to resurrect your wife." The Great Immortal Huli said with a smile.

Chen Sanliang's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he tightly grasped the bell in his hand. He looked at Hu Li Daxian in disbelief: "My wife is already dead, how can she be resurrected? Are you kidding me, old ancestor?"

"What do you know? This treasure has the power to destroy souls, and it also has the power to gather souls and bring back the dead. But one person must die before one person can live." Hu Li Daxian said: "If you can kill Zhang Chen, I will naturally have a way to revive your wife."

King Pingbian on the side breathed quickly upon hearing this, his eyes fixed on the bell in Chen Sanliang's hand. This was a treasure that could bring the dead back to life. How could a mortal not be jealous when he could kill a great monk? If he had this treasure, how could he endure such humiliation?
The three great monks of Huang Tiandao standing by were also staring with their eyes wide open. They had never heard of such an incredible treasure.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sanliang steadied his breathing, grabbed the bell, and without saying anything, put the bell into his sleeve, then bowed to the Great Immortal Huli.

His actions speak louder than a thousand words.

After seeing Chen Sanliang's actions, the corners of Huli Daxian's mouth curled up to reveal a meaningful smile. He didn't believe that Zhang Chen, that little ant, could escape the disaster this time.

Zhang Chen's cultivation level could be hidden from others, but not from him. He was a twelfth-level strong man, and the gap between his cultivation level and Zhang Chen's was too big. He could see Zhang Chen's background at a glance.

With the power of his Fallen Bell, as long as Zhang Chen is hit, that guy will be dead.

King Pingbian, who was standing by, saw the actions of Hu Li Daxian and thought to himself, "Something is not right. Hu Li Daxian is an old man with great powers. If he wants to deal with Zhang Chen, why doesn't he do it himself? Why does he have to lend his treasure to Chen Sanliang to do it? This is obviously unreasonable."

King Pingbian is an old fox. He has realized that something is wrong. Thinking back to when the Immortal Huli came back empty-handed when he surrounded and killed Xie Xuan, it seems that Zhang Chen was there too, right?

"Could it be that Zhang Chen has a way to restrain the Great Immortal Tiger Power?" King Pingbian had an unbelievable thought in his mind: "Why? Why does the Great Immortal Tiger Power fear Zhang Chen?"

Even the King of Pingbian could think of this, not to mention the three ninth-rank gods of Huang Tiandao standing by. The three Heavenly Masters looked at each other, and Zuo Lianying, one of the twelve Heavenly Masters, secretly sent a message to Gu Mingyue to ask, "Who is Zhang Chen? Why is that beast so afraid of him?"

Gu Mingyue frowned and said, "This person is a disciple of my Huang Tian Dao, and a disciple of that old fellow Wu Changming."

Zuo Lianying was overjoyed when he heard this: "Since this person is from my Huang Tiandao, then it will be easy to deal with. If we can use him to control the Great Immortal Huli, won't the demon tribe fall into our hands in the future? We want to preach in the demon tribe, and there is hope. If we can gain followers from the demon tribe, my Huang Tiandao will have another way out."

Gu Mingyue smiled bitterly: "But Zhang Chen has a great grudge against the Pingbian Palace, and... I have already sold him out!"

"What's going on?" asked another heavenly master, Zhou Shenzhu.

Hearing Zhou Shenzhu's question, Gu Mingyue knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he could only tell the story with a helpless look on his face. Hearing this, Zhou Shenzhu said: "Brother, you are confused! Such a talent should be protected even if it offends the Pingbian Palace. Although we have taken refuge with the Pingbian Palace, the relationship with the Pingbian King is a cooperative relationship, not a dependent relationship. Such unscrupulous flattery goes against the righteousness of my Huang Tiandao."

"Don't blame him. He doesn't know the ability of this kid Zhang Chen. Who would have thought that he could have the means to restrain the Great Immortal Huli? What we have to do now is to try our best to save the relationship. Fortunately, we haven't completely torn our relations yet. We can also find an excuse to cover up the incident in Pingbian Palace. Send someone to contact Wu Changming, and when Wu Changming comes forward, he can naturally be persuaded to return to his loyalty." Zuo Lianying said.

Hearing this, the other two nodded. This was the only way out at this point.
