Chapter 261: The Armored Guards Break the Door

Hearing this, Chen Ansheng’s eyes lit up.

If he could bring in another force to attack Peace City, that would be ideal; otherwise, how could he possibly rescue Zhong Li by relying solely on himself?

“Tell me more in detail,” Chen Ansheng said.

“I don’t know much,” Zhong Li paused, then said, “I only know that the Immortal King is named ‘Fengtian.’ In the Northern Wasteland, the Snow-Haired Old Man has a bitter grudge against him—you could say they’ll never coexist under the same sky. For years, the Snow-Haired Old Man has been trading with a powerful Alien Immortal, related to dealing with that Fengtian Immortal King.”

Chen Ansheng pondered for a moment, saying, “We are in the Southern Region of the Immortal Realm, too far from the Northern Wasteland. It will take at least a year and a half to come and go, and you probably can’t hide for that long.”

Zhong Li smiled, “That’s not a problem. They won’t find me that easily.”

“So confident?” Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow. “I find it strange that the Snow-Haired Old Man’s Immortal Sense is so powerful; he should be able to lock onto you easily. How have you managed to hide until now?”

Zhong Li didn’t respond; instead, she opened her clothes at her chest.

“Senior Sister, calm down, we need to focus on serious matters!”

Chen Ansheng instinctively shrank back but realized and wanted to move forward again.

“Don’t be foolish; I won’t make it easy for you,” Zhong Li said, clearly seeing through Chen Ansheng. “You see, this is thanks to the ‘Linglong Essence.’ I got it from that idiot. Wearing it can block all Immortal Sense and mental probing. Do you think I could have killed that idiot and escaped otherwise?”

“Such a good item; let me touch it.”

Chen Ansheng reached out, but Zhong Li slapped his hand away.

Feeling a bit dejected, Chen Ansheng withdrew his hand. “Now I’m not worried. I will think of a way to find that Fengtian Immortal King as soon as possible.”

At this moment, Zhong Li realized a serious problem and said, “By the way, Peace City is already sealed off, so you can’t get out!”

Chen Ansheng looked confident, saying, “I have my own methods; you don’t need to worry.”

In truth, Chen Ansheng had no clever plans. All he could do was seek help from his Master, Elder Ji, and let him handle this matter.

Hearing Chen Ansheng say so, Zhong Li didn’t bother to pursue the matter further; after all, this guy had an unusual background. If he said he had a way, then there must be one.

This eased her mind a bit.

“Hey, Senior Sister.”

Chen Ansheng tilted his chin up. “How many forms can your transformation technique take? Every time I see you, you look different.”

Pure, cold, curvaceous, tall and slender… in any case, Zhong Li could manifest various world-class beauties.

In the past, Chen Ansheng often fantasized about how if he could win over the Demoness, he could have her transform every day, which would truly mean being a new groom every night with no repeats. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Zhong Li wrinkled her nose in disdain. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking; not a chance.”

Chen Ansheng almost blushed, forcefully defending, “Don’t misunderstand. Weren’t you just testing me outside the door? We are upright gentlemen!”

Zhong Li stared suspiciously at Chen Ansheng and noticed he showed no signs of embarrassment; could it be that she had misunderstood? Was he only unable to control himself around her?

“Chen Shidi, open the door; I want to talk late into the night with you and chat about life.”

Just then, a soft female voice came from outside the cave.

“Oh.” A glint flashed in Zhong Li’s eyes. “Is this the upright gentleman you mentioned?”

Chen Ansheng blinked, awkwardly saying, “Didn’t you hear her say she wants to discuss life? What are you thinking!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Lan’s voice came again: “Chen Shidi, could it be that you are shy because you saw me bathing in my cave that day? It’s nothing; I don’t mind at all…”

“!!!”

Chen Ansheng jolted.

“T-this is a misunderstanding…”

Zhong Li sneered. “No need to fabricate; what does it matter to me? I’ve long known you’re lewd, so why hide it?”

“…”

“Hey, Chen Shidi, hurry and open the door; I’m dressed lightly, and it’s so cold outside.”

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes, cursing inwardly, “Damn, the timing couldn’t be worse!”

“Lan Shijie, I’m in seclusion; let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Chen Ansheng shouted towards the door.

“Seclusion is so boring…”

Before Ying Lan could finish her sentence, Chen Ansheng interrupted, “Lan Shijie, I really am not that kind of person. You should go talk with Senior Brother Fang and the others; I’m blocking my hearing. I won’t see you out.”

“Humph, idiot; keep pretending!”

With a huff from outside, she stomped away.

At this moment, Chen Ansheng felt a deep sense of regret.

“Looks like you’re quite disappointed. Are you cursing me for ruining your good fortune?”

In reality, Zhong Li wasn’t angry about this at all; it didn’t matter to her.

“What am I disappointed about? I just hate being too handsome; it’s quite helpless.”

Chen Ansheng said nonchalantly.

Zhong Li mimicked a gagging motion, looking disdainful.

“Chen Ansheng, open the door.”

Just after Ying Lan left, another indifferent female voice came in.

“What a strong aura!”

Sensing the power within that voice, Zhong Li felt a sudden shock.

“Is this also one of your acquaintances?”

Zhong Li was a bit surprised; this thick-headed Chen Ansheng actually managed to attract such a powerful woman. She had to admit, that was impressive.

“Don’t say random things,” Chen Ansheng said seriously. “She is the number one person under the Immortal King. Clearly, even if I’m handsome enough, I don’t qualify.”

“Well, at least you have some self-awareness,” Zhong Li smiled.

“Open the door quickly!”

“Great General, I am in seclusion; let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

“Stop wasting time. I made it clear beforehand; I’ll help you, and in return, I want your body. This also counts as a reward for you winning the competition this time. Open the door!”

“…”

Chen Ansheng spread his hands and shrugged.

“I didn’t know she was that kind of person.”

Zhong Li looked shocked and then speechless. “I don’t care about your messy business; in any case, tonight is not possible. Send her away.”

“That’s only natural. I never thought of having anything to do with her; you have to believe me.”

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from outside the cave. Someone was attacking the seal of the space cave.

Chen Ansheng frowned!

This woman has gone mad; is she really that lonely?

Just as Chen Ansheng was thinking of sending Gu Miaoyan away, he heard Gu Miaoyan shout coldly, “What are you doing!”

“Armored Guards, pursuing a murderer. All unrelated persons, avoid this area!”

Bang!

A huge crash sounded.

This inn was not a treasure land, after all, and the strength of the seals was extremely limited.

A black long spear easily broke through.

Inside the space cave, Zhong Li suddenly sprang up, her face pale.

And Chen Ansheng was also anxious!

“Crap, you thick-headed donkey, hurry and use that disappearing technique to escape!”
