Chapter 164 Arrest
Soon Zhou Chen arrived at the reception room, and those eyes in the dark also stopped outside the reception room. Zhou Chen found a seat and sat down and waited quietly.
After a while, an old man walked in. At this moment Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, because the temperature in the living room suddenly rose several degrees the moment he came in.
What surprised Zhou Chen was that this guy's strength was only slightly lower than Li Mu's, but it was hard to say when they really fought.
"You must be Zhou Chen, my name is Li Yun," he said, and walked straight to the main seat and sat down. "I wonder why Brother Zhou came to my Li family?"
Zhou Chen did not beat around the bush. “Originally, your Li family and I had nothing to do with each other. But why did you spread the news that I killed Shen Qingshan, the eldest son of the Shen family? This incident caused me a lot of trouble. Shouldn’t you, the Li family, give me a reasonable explanation?”
As he spoke, the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped. Even Li Yun, who possessed fire-attributed true energy, shuddered suddenly. Secretly, the Li family's priest also noticed the chill in the living room and immediately exuded murderous intent.
Li Yun took a deep breath and said with a smile, "My friend, you are joking. My Li family has never done such things. I don't know where you heard these words from."
It seemed that he refused to admit it, so Zhou Chen stood up and left, saying before leaving, "Since you don't want to admit it, then forget it. However, this matter will never be let go. I will definitely make the person who did this pay the price."
Li Yun clenched his fists, but gave up the idea of attacking and let Zhou Chen leave. After Zhou Chen walked out of the living room, a middle-aged man appeared beside Li Yun and said, "The life plate of the great elder and the patriarch is broken, and it has something to do with this guy named Zhou Chen. Should we take action to stop him?"
Li Yun waved his hand and said, "No, don't be anxious. From what I saw just now, this guy's aura is not inferior to mine. He should have broken through to the fifth level. If we fight with him now, even if he stays, it will be my Li family that will suffer. Let's wait until the ancestor's magical power is about to be perfected. It won't be too late to deal with him then."
Zhou Chen did not encounter any obstacles on his way home, and there was no one following him behind his back. In the following days, Zhou Chen practiced and strengthened his skills at home. During this period, Leng Ningshuang came to him several times, but they were all because she was out on a case and came to see him.
It is said that there have been many cases of missing young girls in the city recently. Some are daughters of ordinary people, and some are women who disappeared in restaurants in the city. In addition, a large number of people outside the city have also reported to the police that their children are missing.
There is also a county government in Wu'an County. Originally, these matters should have been handled by the county constables, but the number of missing people was too large, so it was handed over to the Demon Suppression Division for investigation.
Zhou Chen's vacation has not ended yet, so there is no rush for this matter. The Demon Suppression Division has no intention of recalling Zhou Chen, but has simply handed the matter over to several teams to investigate.
Zhou Chen has been practicing during this period of time. Unlike before, when he absorbed the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice in his body, his own strength also increased. It was not like practicing the God-Slaying Technique which had no effect at all.
In the past few days, Zhou Chen absorbed another 2% of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice, and his skills increased by another 2%. At the same time, his strength also increased by 2%. When he has absorbed all of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice, his strength will be directly doubled, which is a permanent improvement.
As for the strengthening points, since he has now broken through to the fifth level, Zhou Chen is not planning to strengthen the demon patterns any further. Instead, he is waiting to obtain more powerful demon patterns before strengthening them or improving his martial arts.
Leng Yiyao's strength has also been improving rapidly in the past few days. In just seven or eight days, her strength has reached nine hundred. It won't be long before she can break through to the sixth level.
On this day, Zhou Chen had just returned to the Demon Suppression Division when he received a mission. They were told that the recent disappearance of the girls had been investigated clearly. They were all captured by an evil cultivator outside the city to practice evil magic. Although the truth was almost certain, the guy had not yet been arrested. The Demon Suppression Division immediately ordered Team 19 to go and capture him.
Logically speaking, this matter should be handed over to the Demon Suppression Envoy to capture, but Qinglong only sent Zhou Chen and his team. Zhou Chen was speechless. He was no longer a Demon Suppression Envoy, but he still had to do the work of a Demon Suppression Envoy. Although he had some objections in his heart, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. Zhou Chen also complained to Qinglong a little about this. Perhaps Qinglong also knew that this was not appropriate, so he promised Zhou Chen that as long as this matter was done, in addition to the original reward, he would also have the opportunity to enter the library to choose a martial arts book, and it was a Xuan-level martial arts book.
Zhou Chen immediately became interested and immediately took Leng Ningshuang and several others out of the city to investigate the case. Normally, Wu'an County did not allow people to leave the city at night, but they had the privilege because they were investigating the case.
The murderer is a wealthy family in Wangjia Village, which is considered a relatively large village around Wu'an County. Of course, this Wang family has no relationship with the Wang family in Wu'an County, otherwise his Wang family would not be able to escape after such a big incident.
The men rode their horses very quickly and arrived outside Wangjia Village half an hour later. This time their target was clearly Cheng Yaolin from Wangjia Village.
The three men got off their horses outside the village. It was already late at night and the people had already fallen asleep. Originally, Cheng Yaolin hid very well and the Demon Suppression Division could not find him. However, he hid too well. There were cases of missing girls in the surrounding villages, including Wu'an County, but there were no such cases in Wangjia Village. This attracted the attention of the Demon Suppression Division.
As a result, they found out that the problem really happened in Wangjia Village after investigation. Soon the three of them arrived at the door of Cheng's house. Zhou Chen had already explained on the way that it was up to him to arrest Cheng Yaolin. The two of them just needed to stand by and support them. To put it bluntly, they just had to perform.
The three of them climbed over the wall and entered Cheng's house. The moment they entered, they happened to run into a guy peeing in the corner. Leng Ningshuang almost screamed when she saw this and subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.
The guy also discovered the three people. Before he could react, Zhou Chen had already chopped his neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Then Zhou Chen activated the Ultimate Eye, and instantly everything in the Cheng family appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes. He sneered, "Huh, I found you," and then quickly rushed towards the direction of Cheng Yaolin, and Leng Ningshuang and the others hurriedly followed.
At this time, Cheng Yaolin was hiding in the secret room to practice martial arts. He was emitting a black energy all over his body. Several girls were lying beside him. The moment he breathed in and out, the bodies of the two girls quickly rotted and then turned into bones.
At this moment, the air in the secret room suddenly became gloomy and cold. He had been in seclusion in recent days and didn't know anything about what was happening outside. He didn't know that he had been targeted by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Thinking he had done it perfectly, the chill made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Cheng Yaolin slowly opened his eyes. What he didn't know was that Zhou Chen had already appeared outside the secret room, staring at him coldly. At this moment he also sensed Zhou Chen's breath.
He just made some hand gestures and several skeletons immediately crawled out from the ground outside the secret room. Cheng Yaolin put on a smile, but it froze in just a breath, because the connection between him and the skeletons was suddenly severed at this moment.
