Leaving Chuan County, we flew towards the new city.
"Huh?" From a distance, Zhang Shen felt something was wrong.
After counting with his fingers, some information appeared in his mind.
For three years, I searched for samples and practiced diligently.
Without sparing his spiritual energy, Zhang Shen, after having almost mastered the second stage, broke through to the third stage of immortal cultivation and also practiced a lot of third stage spells.
The art of divination is a focus of practice, and the information that can be obtained is far more than before.
"Someone is secretly plotting against Xincheng. That's right. It's hard not to be tempted by such a big piece of meat. Although I left a phantom clone to disguise myself and would come back to take a look every few months, I can't keep an eye on it like before. It's not surprising that someone secretly interfered."
Zhang Shen remained calm and found Wang Zhongshi.
After these years of experience, his abilities in all aspects have greatly improved, and he is not far from breaking through to become a first-level immortal and becoming a second-level immortal.
In this world where one can achieve immortality by embarking on the path of cultivation, there are very few who can break through from the first level to the second level within ten years, and each one of them can be described as a monster.
Wang Zhongshi is indeed a man of great luck, so it is normal for him to behave like this.
However, even if one is a person of great luck, the time is too short to become a super-strong polygonal warrior.
Otherwise, Wang Zhongshi would not have been unaware of the undercurrents in the new city.
"What? Someone in the new city intends to cause chaos?" Wang Zhongshi was not too surprised when Zhang Shen suddenly appeared in front of him. In his perception, the adult had just been in seclusion for a period of time and had never left. But after Zhang Shen told him his discovery, Wang Zhongshi was horrified.
Wang Zhongshi was terrified. Having been in charge of Xincheng for many years, he knew that the immortals were not all bright, but also dark. However, he was completely unaware of the changes that had taken place in Xincheng secretly. When the situation broke out, he was afraid that he would die without knowing how he died.
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed. The adults gave him the management of the new city, but it was infiltrated by the enemy. No matter how you look at it, it was his dereliction of duty.
"Don't take it too seriously. The people who did this are not something you can handle right now. They are old and cunning. Their methods of bribery and infiltration are as gentle as spring rain that moistens everything silently."
“It’s normal that you don’t notice.”
“Just pay more attention to this aspect in the future.”
Zhang Shen said a few words to comfort him, without any intention of blaming him.
Wang Zhongshi is too young and lacks experience. This is not something that can be learned by just a few words; it must be learned slowly over time and with experience.
Wang Zhongshi breathed a sigh of relief and became more determined that such mistakes must not happen again in the future.
Zhang Shen did not play any tricks to lure the snake out of its hole.
no need.
The existence that reached out to him this time was not worth him spending too much thought on.
With the accumulation of many years in this blessed land and the new city he built, Zhang Shen has accumulated a lot of cards in his hand. He can solve this incident by playing a few of them.
In the Xincheng Prison, Zhang Shen took several officials in charge of Xincheng on an inspection tour.
He stopped only when he reached the depths of the prison where the immortal cultivators were imprisoned.
The many immortal cultivators who were imprisoned and forced to do hard labor were unable to replenish their spirits. The spirits originally stored in their bodies and produced every day were all consumed. Over time, the immortal cultivators who had exhausted their spirits gradually aged and finally decayed into a pile of bones.
Only six were left alive.
The two immortal cultivators who had merged into the meat eggs were also among the six people. The meat eggs enhanced their vitality, allowing them to survive a little longer.
But their own
He was simply too old, his cultivation had declined, and without spiritual nourishment, he had aged beyond recognition.
It feels like I will die at any moment.
Zhang Shen walked into the cell and said, "What a pity! If it had been a little later, your plan would have succeeded and you would have had a chance to survive."
With his hands clasped together, a large number of vines emerged from the ground and tied up the six people.
The six old men struggled hard, but they were so weak and frail that there was no way they could break free from their restraints.
These immortal cultivators were extremely desperate.
"Damn it! It was just a little bit short..."
As he finished speaking, the vines had already submerged them, and all six of them died. The two meat eggs that had been planted were also secretly retrieved by Zhang Shen.
These six people are in collusion with someone who is secretly plotting. To be precise, the person behind the scenes wants these six people to create chaos, and the reward is to set them free.
These six people were more than happy to accept this. If they stayed in this prison any longer, they would surely die of old age.
There is no need to ask them to create chaos; they will do it on their own.
As long as the seal of Dantian is released, they will take the initiative to massacre the mortals in Xincheng for the sake of the spirit.
Only in this way can these six people regain their strength and rejuvenate themselves in a very short time.
The divination technique did not reveal these things, but it only revealed that the immortal cultivator in the prison was in collusion with the people behind the scenes.
But this is enough, and with a little thought, you can know what their deal is.
If he had noticed it in advance, he would have known that dealing with the immortal cultivator in prison was just a matter of waving his hand. If it wasn't for retrieving the meat eggs, Zhang Shen would not have come in person.
"It's time to end outside." Zhang Shen murmured as he dispersed the vines.
In Xincheng, Wang Zhongshi personally led the team and captured all those involved in the rebellion.
He was very angry. Not only did this incident make him scared, but it also made him lose face in front of his superiors. He wished he could chop all these rebels into pieces to vent his hatred.
If someone is aware of the rebellion, with the power of the new city, no one can escape if they take it seriously.
Any abnormality that had occurred before would now be discovered and scrutinized, and no one would be able to escape.
The large number of people involved shocked Wang Zhongshi.
A large part of them did not actually rebel, and did not even know about it, but they had close ties with the rebels. However, once Zhang Shen was overthrown, these people who did not participate in the rebellion would stabilize again because of their close ties with the rebels and maintain the stability of the new city.
Therefore, Wang Zhongshi did not kill these people, but he warned them all that their future in the new city would be bleak.
The rest were directly involved and were bought off.
Wang Zhongshi did want to chop it all up and feed it to the dog, but Zhang Shen disagreed.
They were granted a painless death, their bodies were all burned and scattered at random places.
No one thought that Zhang Shen was cruel. Giving a traitor a painless death was already the highest mercy.
The bloody rain covered the New City for several days, and the millions of people living in the New City became a little quieter.
Of course, people are forgetful, and after a while the lively scenes will return to the past, but the bloodshed during this period is destined to be remembered by this generation of new city residents.
In the middle of the night, a cool breeze blew and fallen leaves flew.
"When a guest comes from afar, why should he stay in the dark?" Zhang Shen was sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon, and a clear voice rang out.
Next to the stone chair on the other side of the stone table, a small tree grows, with a flower blooming on the top.
A man who is like a banished immortal, gentle as jade and unparalleled in beauty.
"Friend Zhang is so imposing and sharp that I dare not take any risks." Chu Feng said with a smile. His gentle smile made people feel good about him.
Zhang Shen drank tea alone and said calmly: "If you don't dare, you won't plot against Xincheng in secret."
Chu Feng still had a smile on his face, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed about being caught by the real owner.
"When I see the prey, I naturally want to have a share." Chu Feng spoke frankly and directly admitted that he was the one who plotted secretly.
"Friend Zhang, you are very capable. You can build such a magnificent city with millions of people in a thousand miles of wasteland. This is your ability."
"But it's not good for you to eat such a big piece of cake all by yourself."
"I am not talented, but I am willing to help fellow immortal Zhang."
Chu Fengyan smiled happily.
Zhang Shen still had a nonchalant expression, "No need for that. I always like to eat alone, and I don't like others to take my things."
Zhang Shen has no objection to sharing, but the prerequisite is that sufficient contributions have been made or there is enough value.
"Friend Chu, if you come with good intentions in the future, I will treat you with fine wine."
"But if you refuse to repent, you and I will have to fight to the death."
After saying that, Zhang Shen waved his sleeves, and his long robe brought up a strong wind. The Chu Feng in front of him shattered and scattered on the ground like petals.
What came was just a clone, the real body was not here.
Otherwise, Zhang Shen would not have wasted his time talking to him and would have slapped him to death long ago.
"A third-level immortal cultivator is actually so cautious."
"It's so embarrassing. You don't even have the courage to face me. Compared with the brave me, there is a huge difference."
Zhang Shen harshly criticized this cowardly behavior.
"But when I say next time, there probably won't be a next time."
Take out the meat eggs. These two were retrieved from two immortal cultivators in the prison.
The meat egg merged into Zhang Shen's body, and the memories of the two immortal cultivators emerged in Zhang Shen's mind.
Zhang Shen had no interest in absorbing the memories of the two people. They were not his own people, and absorbing too many memories of others would make him mentally disordered.
Zhang Shen was just a bystander, browsing through the two memories and extracting the skills and spells practiced by the two people from the memories, as well as their insights in this regard.
These are what Zhang Shen wants to absorb.
These still carry the risk of disrupting one's own mind, but the risk has been reduced to an extremely low level. There will even be no danger of this if one does not absorb insights that exceed one's own endurance limit at one time.
Night fades away and dawn falls.
Zhang Shen opened his tightly closed eyes. He had already browsed through the memories of the two immortal cultivators, and completely digested and absorbed the useful insights.
"Sure enough, the meat egg is not a perfect match with the people in this blessed land. The memories copied down are incomplete, and several memories containing important insights were not copied down."
"This is where the meat egg needs to be modified to improve its compatibility with the general human race in this world."
"Try to completely imprint the memory!"
Thanks to the samples found during travels.
Zhang Shen would go over every once in a while to see how they had changed and adjust the meat and eggs in their bodies.
A large amount of data has already been accumulated.
Zhang Shen had a premonition that the day when the meat and eggs could be adjusted to the best state was not far away.
When that day comes, it will be the time when the main body will reach out to this blessed land.
