Zhang Zhen was a small town founded by several mid Corporeal realm experts. The rules of the town were set by these experts.
The name Zhang Zhen came about because of an expert called Zhang Chongming. He was the one who had the final say here.
At this moment, Zhang Chongming was standing in the square. There seemed to be a hint of other emotions in his indifferent expression.
Outside the square, there were many residents of the town. They knew that the mayor standing here today meant that it was a special day. Out of curiosity, they all came to watch.
Today, it was time for the city to sell people again. However, in the past few decades, many forces had never come to buy people.
This included the rumored disappeared Rich Python Tribe and some other powerful tribes that were not as strong as the Hearthstone and Jia Si Tribes.
A beam of light flew over from the horizon. When it got closer, everyone saw that it was a flying boat. The front of the boat was engraved with a fierce tiger.
This flying boat represented the Fierce Tiger Army of Huping City. It belonged to the official force and very few people dared to have any ideas about this force.
Seeing the flying boat, Zhang Chongming's expression changed slightly. Beside him, the other Corporeal realm experts also had a hint of surprise on their faces.
Soon, the flying boat arrived above the square. Then, a group of people jumped down from the boat.
The leader wasn't the usual Hei Zi, but a middle-aged man. The moment he saw the middle-aged man, Zhang Chongming's expression turned cold. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he stepped forward and said, "What wind blew the captain here?"
The middle-aged man was very big. He was even taller and more muscular than Hei Zi. He said in a low, muffled voice, "Long time no see. Mayor Zhang, how have you been?"
Zhang Chongming stepped forward and smiled, "Captain, are you preparing to go back?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "Yes. I have guarded the passage for five hundred years. It is time to go back."
When Zhang Chongming heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Then, congratulations to all of you."
This time, twenty Corporeal realm experts came down from the flying boat. On the contrary, there were fewer Earth and Virtual realm experts, less than twenty.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Chongming and said, "This is the last transaction before we leave. We will give you the people."
"Ah." Zhang Chongming was startled, "How can we accept this?"
The middle-aged man smiled. "You and I have known each other for as long as five hundred years. Sending these people to you did not violate the rules of Shuntian Prefecture. We are also tired and want to go back and rest. Moreover … there are no resources in this broken place. It really affects our progress."
Zhang Chongming nodded and said, "Since Brother Wang is so forthright, then I won't be pretentious. Everyone, stay here today and let me treat everyone well."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No, we will leave immediately."
Zhang Chongming felt slightly regretful.
After that, Blackie signaled for these people to scram.
Everyone had clearly been tamed. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly as they walked towards Zhang Chongming.
Looking at the few Earth Yuans among them, Hei Zi snorted in disdain. Clearly, compared to that person back then, these Earth Yuans were too weak.
He was strong, but he kept a low profile. On the other hand, these people didn't have any strength at all, but they kept a high profile. They wanted nothing more than to carve the words "I'm looking for death" on their heads.
Thinking of that person, Blackie naturally thought of that person's name.
Zi Chen.
After that, he also told his big brother, because Zi Chen was like his big brother. They were both people with sharp senses. If this kind of person was careful, he should be able to live for a long time.
The middle-aged man noticed that Blackie was a little distracted and said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you thinking about that person called Zi Chen again?"
Blackie nodded and said, "Indeed, I didn't think much of it at first, but after that, I realized that this person should be very extraordinary."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Although you only exchanged a few words, according to your description, we did indeed underestimate him."
Blackie shook his head again and said, "But so what? It's only been a few decades. Even if he's extraordinary, his growth is limited …"
Suddenly, Blackie's voice paused, but his eyes were staring outside the square.
At this moment, Zhang Chongming was letting people handle the arrangements for these people, but no matter how one looked at him, he seemed a little distracted.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, these city guards should have left after the handover was completed. However, they didn't leave this time.
Zhang Chongming glanced at Reality, who nodded and then walked over to the middle-aged man.
"Our lord gave this to you all. It's some money for drinks." Reality took out a bag, which contained some law fragments.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank Brother Zhang for me, but we won't take this."
Reality was slightly startled.
Blackie said indifferently, "Take it, we don't want it."
Blackie's voice was very loud, but it sounded like he was quarreling. Reality had no choice but to leave.
After Reality returned, Zhang Chongming glanced at him and the latter shook his head. Zhang Chongming didn't say anything.
Blackie looked forward with a trace of surprise on his face and said, "I didn't think that he would appear just as I mentioned him. Is this a coincidence?"
The middle-aged man nodded, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face and said, "You can say that. There should be a good show here soon."
"A good show?" Blackie was clearly startled and looked at the middle-aged man in confusion.
The middle-aged man smiled but didn't say anything.
Behind them, the other city guards saw the person Blackie was looking at and said in surprise, "Look who that is."
"Eh, isn't that the punching bag?"
"Wasn't the punching bag sold back then? Why is he here?"
"It's only been a few years, but the punching bag's strength has reached the peak of the Earth Origin Stage. Looks like he's doing well."
These city guards were very bored and would usually tease some outsiders. There was no fun in bullying the Emptiness Realm experts, so they treated teasing the Earth Origin Stage experts as their only entertainment.
Among all the Earth Origin Stage experts who survived being teased, the punching bag was the one who left the deepest impression on them. So today, they recognized the punching bag at a glance.
The punching bag was naturally Zi Chen. He used his doppelganger to escape the pursuit of a group of Reality Realm experts and then came to Zhang Town. He wanted to buy a flying boat here.
However, he had been here for a long time and had seen a few flying boats, but their speed was just barely satisfactory. Zi Chen was very dissatisfied.
Blackie watched Zi Chen from afar as he shuttled through the various shops. He said, "He seems to be buying something."
The middle-aged man said, "He's buying a flying boat, one that's very fast."
Blackie was even more surprised. He said, "Flying boats are very expensive, but he actually wants a fast one."
"He doesn't want a fast one. He wants the fastest one," the middle-aged man corrected.
"The fastest one? He's just an Earth Origin Stage expert. Could it be …" Blackie's expression was naturally doubtful.
The middle-aged man said, "He's dissatisfied with every flying boat. Clearly, he doesn't care about the price, but the speed. He seems to be in a hurry, as if he wants the flying boat to escape. Perhaps he's being chased."
Blackie was surprised and curious. "Who's chasing him? He actually wants to use a flying boat to escape."
The middle-aged man glanced at Blackie and asked, "You really want to know?"
Blackie nodded and said, "Yes, I'm very curious. If I can help, I don't mind giving him a hand."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If you really want to know, then open the flying boat."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know when you open it."
Blackie nodded and opened the flying boat according to his elder brother's instructions.
This was a flying boat used by Huping City's army. It was very fast. After it opened, it floated in the air like a large ship.
The middle-aged man said again, "Release your aura."
Blackie released the aura unique to the flying boat. Then, a wave of pressure was emitted from the big ship. This pressure spread in all directions, and many people looked over curiously.
When Zhang Chongming saw this, his face became a little ugly.
Zi Chen walked out of another shop. He didn't care about the price. He only cared about the speed of the flying boat. However, he had visited many shops, and none of them had a flying boat that was comparable to the one Blackie took him on.
Suddenly, Zi Chen felt an aura coming from afar. He was almost instinctively alert and wanted to run away. However, he suddenly remembered that this was Zhang Zhen, and fighting was forbidden. Only then did he relax slightly and look in the direction of the aura.
At a glance, Zi Chen saw a big ship. The ferocious tiger head on the big ship was very eye-catching.
The moment he saw the big ship, Zi Chen's eyes immediately lit up. This was because from the aura emitted by the big ship, this flying boat seemed to be even faster than the one Blackie used.
The big ship was in the air. Zi Chen was a little tempted. He then looked below the big ship and saw Blackie and the people from before.
"It's them."
Zi Chen's expression became surprised. However, after thinking about it, he understood. In this area, who else could make such a flying boat other than them?
The leader and Hei Zi both looked at him and smiled. Zi Chen also nodded in response. Then, he looked around and flew towards the flying ship.
However, something strange happened at this moment.
"Boom." "Boom."
Surging auras suddenly began to surge. Wave after wave of powerful auras appeared around Zi Chen.
In the blink of an eye, six people appeared around Zi Chen. The power of space surged around these people.
With the power of space, it meant that these people were all in the Corporeal Realm.
Six Corporeal Realm experts had appeared all at once. Moreover, they were all unfamiliar Corporeal Realm experts. This shocked Zi Chen greatly.
However, six wasn't all. It was just the beginning.
As the six Corporeal Realm experts surrounded him, wave after wave of Corporeal Realm auras came from afar.
This time, more than a dozen Corporeal Realm experts appeared. They then flew towards Zi Chen at the fastest speed possible.
"Zi Chen, let's see where you can run to this time."
"Haha, I've finally caught you."
Among the dozen Corporeal Realm experts, Zi Chen saw Tie Lu, Jia Si, and the others. He knew that things weren't going well.
However, he was already surrounded. It was unrealistic for him to escape.
Nearly twenty Corporeal Realm experts surrounded Zi Chen. However, that wasn't all. Another person appeared from the shadows. This person had the aura of a mid-stage Corporeal Realm expert. It was Eitro.
In the distance, Blackie was dumbfounded when he saw so many Corporeal Realm experts surrounding Zi Chen.
