Chapter 324: Fight for Black Qi
Zhou Chen walked on the void at a very fast speed and soon returned to Yuxi City. Seeing Zhou Chen coming back, Leng Yiyao smiled and asked, "Is everything settled?"
"Well, it's all solved."
At dawn the next day, constables from the government office came to clean up the house for the two men because they had been careless some time ago and had damaged his furniture during the search.
For example, the door of the room was kicked in by them, and the tables, chairs and benches in the room were also damaged.
Zhou Chen and the other man did not refuse and let them do it themselves. Then they took Leng Yiyao away from home.
When they came back in the afternoon, all the things in the house had been repaired, and the county magistrate and Captain Shen Lishen had already arrived in the yard early to wait for them.
"Hey, adults, why are you here?"
Hearing Zhou Chen's question, the two of them said humbly, "Senior, all things have been repaired, and the damaged furniture has all been replaced with new ones. Do you need anything else?"
Zhou Chen did not go to check, but said with a smile, "In that case, thank you, sir," and bowed.
The two were so frightened upon seeing this that they immediately responded with, "Oh no, no, senior. This is what we should do."
Seeing that everyone was not leaving, Zhou Chen asked, "Sir, are you planning to stay for lunch?"
"Oh, we don't want to trouble you, senior. We'll leave now," he said and was about to leave with Shen Li and others.
Zhou Chen knew the purpose of their doing so, so when they were about to leave the yard, Zhou Chen said, "Sir, there is no need to be so nervous. It is only the Kuang Dao Sect that has a grudge against me. As long as you don't do that kind of business in the future, I will naturally not make things difficult for you again."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate and Shen Li turned around and bowed again, saying "Thank you, senior." Then they led everyone out of the yard.
"Sir, do you think Zhou Chen will not cause us trouble again?"
Although the two did not see the strange vision last night with their own eyes, they heard about it from their subordinates afterwards. They were sure that the person who took action was Zhou Chen, and they had been thinking of finding an opportunity to get rid of this guy.
But now he no longer has that idea, because people with that kind of strength are no longer people he can afford to offend.
Late in the evening, after dinner, Leng Yiyao made an excuse to leave Yuxicheng, and Zhou Chen didn't care and let him go. He naturally didn't have to worry about Leng Yiyao's safety, because Leng Yiyao's strength was now above his.
She just told him to be careful and let him go. Leng Yiyao walked into the air and followed the feeling in her heart and came to Kuangfeng Mountain.
Looking at the Kuangfeng Mountain that had been razed to the ground beneath his feet, Leng Yiyao remained calm. He took a step forward and disappeared on the spot. When he appeared again, he was already on the ground.
The location of the Kuangfeng Mountain had originally been covered by a layer of light black mist. Leng Yiyao took a breath and said, "It is indeed black air," and was immediately overjoyed.
However, the area within a radius of ten miles here has been shrouded in black fog, and the specific location of the black fog cannot be seen.
Even with his strength, he was unable to find the exact location of the black gas, but fortunately the range was so small that it was easy for him to find it.
There was no doubt that there was nothing outside the black fog, so Leng Yiyao walked straight towards the center of the black fog.
What he didn't know was that after he entered the black fog, several more people came to the sky above him. This black fog was very magical. Even with Leng Yiyao's strength, his five senses would be greatly reduced after entering.
Under normal circumstances, he would have noticed the people above him at the first moment, but today he didn't notice them at all.
Naturally, they were unaware of Leng Yiyao's presence.
"We've finally found it after searching for so long," and then the people above fell directly into the black fog below.
The luck of the few people was also quite explosive. According to Leng Yiyao's guess, the black gas should be in the center of the black fog, and the few people in the sky just landed on the edge. Leng Yiyao had been looking for something for half an hour and couldn't find it, but they found it at the edge.
At this time, several people were looking at the rolling black gas coming out from under their feet. Some of them wanted to take action without saying a word, but were stopped by their companions.
"You are crazy. This is the second most powerful black energy among all the black energy. How dare you try to catch it?"
"I'm sorry, brother. I forgot in my hurry."
The leader pushed him away and took out a small tripod from the storage bag on his waist. The man put the tripod on the ground, and then signaled his brothers to step back a few steps. He also stepped back and then injected a stream of true energy into the tripod.
A magical scene happened. The black gas that continued to emerge from far underground was actually drilling into the cauldron at an even faster speed.
After a while, the origin of the black gas was sucked out by the small tripod.
Ten minutes later, the black gas was completely absorbed. Seeing this, several people were overjoyed and said, "We succeeded, brother."
"Don't be happy too soon. When I came here before, I noticed that there were other strong men nearby, but because of the black air, I couldn't sense their specific locations. Now that the thing is in hand, let's go quickly. It will be considered a real success if we can take him away safely."
Then they flew directly into the sky. The height of the black fog was only ten meters. In just a breath, they left the range of the black room.
Before Leng Yiyao came in, several waves of strong men had already arrived. Although the black fog below was only ten miles in range, those strong men had lost their five senses the moment they entered the black fog. The black fog also had a confusing effect, so they couldn't find what they wanted after searching for a whole day.
Now that the black gas has just left the black fog, the effect of the black fog has been greatly weakened. Those strong men instantly sensed the breath of other people around them, but they did not take action directly.
Because they also noticed that the black air had left here. Although the small tripod could absorb the black air, it could not cover up his breath.
As soon as they left the cover of the black fog, they were sensed by the strong men below.
They had originally planned to tear through the void and leave as soon as they left the cover of the black fog, but the strong man below was too strong. He actually used a magic weapon at the first moment to seal the surrounding void directly. They only had the third-grade cultivation, so naturally they could not break the space ban.
"Oh no, we've been discovered, let's run away." Seeing that they couldn't tear the void apart, they didn't waste any more words and simply stepped on the void and fled into the distance.
The next moment, five or six powerful auras emerged from the black fog and chased in the direction of the few people. As for Leng Yiyao, she did not chase them immediately.
In addition to him, there are more than a dozen warriors with strength reaching the third rank. Leng Yiyao did not chase them because even if he got them now, there would be endless trouble, so he wanted to wait until those people were both injured in the fight before he took action.
As for the others, they knew that their own strength was not enough to stand up to those strong ones, so they gave up the idea.
Just a few minutes after the black gas left, the surrounding black fog had completely dissipated. Some people left early knowing that they had obtained the treasure in vain, while others wanted to see who would get the treasure in the end even if they could not get it, so they did not leave in a hurry.
There were quite a few people who had this idea, including two brothers, and they were not far from Leng Yiyao.
