Zhang Chen learned that the major general was poisoned by Zhu Qi's red mist and fell into a coma.

So I went to his room and gave him an antidote pill, and he soon woke up.

The soldiers told him what happened after he fell into a coma. He was very calm, as if he had known the outcome already.

"Your father deserves what he has done. You must make up for the sins your father has committed and treat the people well. Do you understand?"

Zhang Chen looked at Guo Kun's stern tone and felt vaguely intimidated.

"Master, rest assured, I know what to do."

Zhang Chen left the City Lord's Mansion and took his fellow disciples to live in an inn in the city. Zhang Chen wanted to observe for a few days to see how Guo Kun did. If he did not do a good job, Zhang Chen would take people to do it himself.

Soon, the City Lord's Mansion issued a series of decrees to relax the criminal law and abolish many exorbitant taxes. Many women who were captured and taken to the City Lord's Mansion were released, and those who died received adequate compensation.

Many officials, vendors, and hooligans who were in collusion with each other, committed crimes, and took bribes were suppressed by Guo Kun with an iron fist. He then opened the granaries, built new houses, and properly arranged for all the displaced people.

He also posted notices in the city, describing his father's crimes and announcing his death, while apologizing to everyone on his father's behalf.

By doing this, and coupled with the fact that Guo Kun was usually very approachable and kind to the people, he quickly won the hearts of the people, and all the soldiers supported him. Later, the court appointed him as the new city lord.

Zhang Chen stayed there for a few days, saw what Guo Kun had done in the past few days, and saw that Black Stone City had been completely renewed and the people were living and working in peace and contentment. Then he left with his fellow disciples and headed for the next town.

Six months passed in a flash. Zhang Chen and his companions traveled to all the towns in Tianshui County. Wherever they went, all the corrupt officials and law-breaking businessmen suffered a devastating disaster.

On the way, Zhang Chen also met people sent from the capital of Daqing to inquire about the situation. After knowing that Zhang Chen and his friends were disciples who were training in Qingyu Sect, they all left in disappointment and did not dare to intervene. Besides, what Zhang Chen and his friends were doing were good things for the country and the people, so they could not say anything.

After visiting the last town, Liu Yang appeared, told everyone that the training was over, and then took everyone back to the sect.

After six months of training, Zhang Chen's cultivation finally reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation. The cultivation of the people Zhang Chen brought with him basically improved by one level. After this experience, they are completely different from before and are no longer as ignorant and naive as before.

Everyone of them was full of worries, as if they had suddenly grown ten years older. Especially since they had experienced killing, their personalities had changed a lot.

Liu Yang, who was in charge of protection, clearly sensed their changes and was very satisfied. How could they grow up without going through the trials of blood? Although they would never be as happy as before, this was the price of growing up.

Soon they all returned to the sect. Zhang Chen said goodbye to them and returned to his residence.

He hadn't been back to the sect for several months and still had enough spirit stones, but he had used up all the fasting pills long ago. Zhang Chen went to the Shangong Pavilion to collect his monthly salary for the past few months, and then went to Sima Feng's residence to check, but he had already returned.

They chatted with each other and shared what they had seen and heard. The county that Sima Feng and his team went to was also close to the border. Unlike Zhang Chen and his team, they did not punish the corrupt officials, but crossed the border to investigate there.

They also encountered some low-level Zergs. They kept attacking and killing those low-level Zergs at the border and reaped a lot of rewards. With the protection of their Foundation Establishment Uncle, the whole trip was safe and sound.

Zhang Chen also learned a lot about the border from him. It turned out that the border was all the territory of the Zerg. However, the sect never mentioned this, so Zhang Chen and his team had no way of knowing.

From Sima Feng, they learned that the border has been very unstable recently, and there seemed to be signs of a war. The sect did not allow them to talk nonsense and told Zhang Chen to increase his strength as soon as possible to cope with future changes.

After returning from Sima Feng's residence, he began to practice hard. Zhang Chen did not tell him the news he heard in Black Stone City, for fear that he would get into trouble due to being impulsive.

On the morning of the second day after Zhang Chen returned, he was practicing when a violent knock on the door woke him up.

Zhang Chen stood up and just pushed open the door when there was a sudden loud bang, as if something was smashed open. Then two seconds later, there was a sound of something falling to the ground with a "pop".

Zhang Chen walked out of the room and saw that the original gate of his residence was empty. The wooden gate had been broken into pieces and fell five meters away from its original position.

A person walked in from outside the gate. When Zhang Chen saw him, he suddenly felt a headache.

The person who came was Xiao Yi. He looked aggressive and angry. He stared at Zhang Chen fiercely and said:

"How dare you kill my cousin? You are so brave."

"Brother Xiao. Your cousin? Is it Xiao Yuanqi? Let me explain. He killed the people at will, causing the people to complain. I killed him to get rid of harm to the people and eliminate a scum for your Xiao family."

Zhang Chen hurriedly explained, but looking at Xiao Yi's expression, it was clear that he didn't listen, so he secretly made preparations.

"Who are you to make decisions for us? Let alone killing a few untouchables, even if you killed an entire city of people, what would that matter?"

Xiao Yi became angrier the more he thought about it, and immediately took out a spiritual sword and continuously injected spiritual energy into it.

Zhang Chen suddenly became nervous when he saw this, and still couldn't believe that Xiao Yi dared to take action here.

After Xiao Yi transferred his spiritual energy, he immediately aimed his spiritual sword at Zhang Chen and shot it directly at him.

Zhang Chen was already prepared, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Xiao Yi would not dare to take action, but when he saw Xiao Yi's determined eyes, he did not seem to be trying to scare him.

Especially at the moment when Xiao Yi pointed the spirit sword at himself, a sense of life and death crisis came over him. His mind immediately entered a wartime state, and he dodged the attack of the spirit sword at the critical moment.

The spirit sword passed through Zhang Chen and shot straight towards the stone in the yard, making a big hole in the stone and then drilling into the ground.

Zhang Chen looked at the big hole on the stone and the power of the magic sword, and a murderous intent surged in his heart. If he had not dodged just now, he would have died without a doubt.

"This Xiao Yi really wants to kill me." Zhang Chen felt angry.

Seeing Zhang Chen dodge the spiritual sword, Xiao Yi cast a spell and a two-meter-long pillar of fire attacked him, its speed and power much higher than the last time.

Zhang Chen could only use his body skills to dodge. When Xiao Yi saw that he could not attack Zhang Chen, a scarlet talisman appeared in his hand. The talisman had a golden edge. Zhang Chen's heart immediately tightened when he saw this, and he had a bad premonition.

Seeing Xiao Yi pick up one of the talismans and continuously input spiritual energy into it, a huge energy fluctuation appeared on the talisman in an instant, and Xiao Yi's face gradually turned pale.

Zhang Chen saw that the power of the talisman in Xiao Yi's hand was increasing. It seemed that he would not stop until he killed him, so he immediately gathered spiritual energy.

"go to hell."

Xiao Yi threw the talisman out, and the palm-sized talisman immediately grew into a giant talisman five meters high and ten meters wide and appeared in front of Zhang Chen. An eight-meter-wide fire dragon emerged from the talisman and rushed straight towards Zhang Chen at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Zhang Chen. All the exposed skin on Zhang Chen's body was burned and stung by the fire dragon, but Zhang Chen had already made preparations for it.
