Chapter 539 Rolling Red Dust
Faced with Zhang Chen's question, Chen Sanliang just smiled lightly, without refuting or arguing, and slowly poured wine for Zhang Chen: "If you don't believe it, just try it."
Zhang Chen was silent after hearing this, he could feel Chen Sanliang's confidence, but he was still unwilling in his heart.
"After we part today, I don't know when we will meet again, but I have something to ask of you." Chen Sanliang picked up his wine cup and took a sip.
"What is it?" Zhang Chen looked at Chen Sanliang in surprise: "Sir, you now control the demon army and have a high position and authority within the demon race, known as the 'Demon Master.' Would you also have something to ask of an ordinary person like me?"
Zhang Chen's words were not malicious, just teasing Chen Sanliang, his tone was relaxed, and the atmosphere between the two immediately eased.
"I know you have a way to restrain Bai Cang, otherwise Bai Cang would never have been chased and killed by you, and would suddenly have the kindness to imprison the human cubs in the Northern Lands. If you can make Bai Cang secretly obey my orders, my plan can be increased by another three points. Even better, those humans who have fallen in the Northern Lands can have a chance of survival with me and Bai Cang working together. At the very least, with Bai Cang's support, if I first establish a human-demon nation, it can be considered as providing some shelter for those people." Chen Sanliang said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen pondered slightly upon hearing this, and then said: "My relationship with Bai Cang is very complicated, not at all what you think it is. All I can do is prevent him from causing trouble for you when he wants to. If you want him to follow your orders, that old fox is simply out of control, and acting against you in secret would easily ruin things."
"Enough!" Chen Sanliang said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Sanliang, then laughed and shook his head, knowing that Chen Sanliang was playing tricks, deliberately raising the requirements, waiting for him to bargain.
"If Sir has any major plans in the future, please send me a message, and I will personally negotiate with Bai Cang. I believe that fox spirit is still very reasonable." Zhang Chen picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Sanliang did not decline, but turned around and rummaged through his package, which was a package made of plain white leather, from which he took out a roll of animal skin and handed it to Zhang Chen: "This is a map of the Divine Continent that I drew, I'll give it to you. How can you go south without a map?"
Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw the map that Chen Sanliang handed over, and after a long time, he sighed softly, took the map and opened it, and saw a complete map drawn on it, not only of the Dasheng Kingdom, but also of the major forces surrounding the Dasheng Kingdom, all marked one by one.
Regardless of what Chen Sanliang did, this person was good to him.
"If Sir wants to find me in the future, just go to Jinling City, and then light this incense, and I will naturally sense it." Zhang Chen took out a small box from the Bashe space and handed it to Chen Sanliang.
The small box contained incense made by Zhang Chen according to the secret method obtained from the Wuzhuang Temple, which was a treasure used by the disciples of the Wuzhuang Temple to transmit information and ask for help on weekdays.
"You kid is really mysterious." Chen Sanliang said as he watched Zhang Chen spit out the incense, and took the palm-sized box.
The box was naturally not made of ordinary materials. If it was made of ordinary materials, it would not be able to be swallowed into the Bashe space. This box was made of discarded materials from the house in the Patriarch's room. Some wood was added to the incense, and then matched with some of Zhang Chen's mana, so it was refined.
Zhang Chen looked at the map in his hand and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This map has helped me a lot."
"That's for sure, you can't even buy this map outside if you want to." Chen Sanliang smiled and put the box into his arms, carefully hiding it: "That map only drew a rough outline, it's not accurate, just use it as a reference when you use it, don't believe it completely."
Zhang Chen folded the map. The entire map was made of some kind of leather. The material was extremely light and thin. After folding, it was the size of a fist and only one finger thick. It didn't take up any space at all when stuffed into his arms.
Zhang Chen put away the map and glanced at Chen Sanliang: "Sir, have you attained the Yang God?"
"As the Northern Lands were occupied, I preached extensively in the Northern Lands, and naturally I could attain the Dao. This is a matter of course, it's nothing." There was a hint of pride in Chen Sanliang's voice.
Zhang Chen could see that Chen Sanliang was very proud, not just ordinary pride, the corners of his mouth were more difficult to suppress than an AK.
"Speaking of which, I'm also going south, but it's not the same road as you." Chen Sanliang said.
Hearing Chen Sanliang's words, Zhang Chen's heart jumped, and he looked up and down at Chen Sanliang, always feeling that the other party was going to do something, so he quickly asked: "Sir, what do you want to do when you go south?"
If the other party came to Pingbei Marquis's territory, Pingbei Marquis's territory would be lost. If he continued to let him go on in the Southern Kingdom, I'm afraid the entire Divine Continent would be in chaos.
Chen Sanliang didn't hide anything: "I have two goals, first: debate."
"Debate?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of surprise.
"It's definitely not possible for me to build a car behind closed doors in the Northern Lands. I need to come to the human race to debate. I want to start from Pingbei Marquis's territory and pass through all the academies, defeating all the great Confucian scholars." A trace of murderous aura appeared in Chen Sanliang's eyes.
"What's the second goal?" Zhang Chen asked.
Chen Sanliang smiled without saying a word, and looked at the sky outside: "I should go."
"In the future, when we meet again, you'd better pretend you don't know me, otherwise... I'm afraid you'll have a hard time in the human race." Chen Sanliang earnestly instructed Zhang Chen: "Is there anything else you want me to do?"
Hearing Chen Sanliang's words, Zhang Chen wanted to shake his head, but when he thought that the demon race was about to sweep the world, his eyes lit up. He had not yet collected all the materials for refining the God-Slaying Whip. If he relied on Chen Sanliang and the demon race to collect the materials, this matter should not be difficult.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen hurriedly said, "I want to refine a treasure and need to collect some materials. If sir can help me, I will be extremely grateful."
"You want to refine a treasure? Just tell me what materials you need. The demon race doesn't understand the mysteries of refining treasures. There are countless precious materials in the treasury. Just name them," Chen Sanliang said.
Zhang Chen asked someone to bring paper and pen, wrote down all the requirements, and handed them to Chen Sanliang. Chen Sanliang took the paper, glanced at it, and stuffed it into his sleeve. With a resolute expression, he walked down the restaurant, his figure disappearing into the crowd.
Watching Chen Sanliang's departing back, Zhang Chen frowned, staring at the surging crowd for a long time without saying a word: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as discussing Taoism and defeating those great Confucians. Chen Sanliang has always been good at planning. How could he risk coming to the human territory to show off his power just to vent a grievance?"
Zhang Chen felt that he knew Chen Sanliang very well. The other party was a rational person who would use any means to achieve his goals and would never make such a reckless move. His actions must have hidden meanings that he didn't know about.
"What exactly does this old guy want to do?" Zhang Chen frowned, his eyes full of doubt. After a moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something: "Could this guy be trying to take the opportunity to collude with the dignitaries in various cities? Using Taoism as an excuse is a very good cover."
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen picked up the wine and dishes on the table and began to eat heartily. After he had his fill, Zhang Chen walked out of the restaurant. After a little thought, he walked towards the Marquis's mansion.
"You want to go to the Marquis's mansion to inform?" The Great自在Heavenly Demon transformed into a black lotus flower and appeared beside Zhang Chen. At this time, the Great自在Heavenly Demon flower bloomed with six petals, looking quite pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, passersby were all ordinary mortals and could not see the colorfulness of this demon flower.
"Hehe, since Chen Sanliang told me, he is naturally not afraid of me leaking secrets, and I have never thought of leaking secrets. I just want to know if this world is really as Chen Sanliang said, completely hopeless," Zhang Chen's figure flickered, and he used the earth escape technique to disappear into the street.
When Zhang Chen reappeared, he had already arrived at the Pingbei Marquis's mansion.
Although the Pingbei Marquis's mansion was covered by dragon energy, it could not break Zhang Chen's immortal power. The other party's dragon energy was far inferior to that of the Pingbian King and was not comparable at all.
A king with the strength to rebel and a marquis belonging to the imperial court were not comparable at all.
It was not difficult to find the trace of the Pingbei Marquis, but when Zhang Chen found the Pingbei Marquis, the Pingbei Marquis was reading a document in his study.
The Pingbei Marquis was not young. He looked like an old man in his fifties with a slightly fat figure. He was wearing brocade clothes and was meticulously groomed, looking extremely majestic.
"Report, a report from the north," a scout appeared outside the door and said respectfully.
"Bring it!" The Pingbei Marquis said.
The guard handed over the document. The Pingbei Marquis carefully checked the seal before tearing it open. The next moment, he couldn't help but change color: "Hupo Pass is broken? All those rogues have crossed the pass? It doesn't matter if the rogues cross the pass, but once those demon races cross the pass, that will be a real big problem! How can I, a mere Marquis's mansion, resist the general trend of the demon race? That dog thief Pingbian King deserves to die. I think he deliberately let the demon race enter the pass, otherwise how could the demon race cross the White Bone Great Wall so easily!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Chen's figure flashed and appeared directly in the study.
As soon as Zhang Chen appeared, he immediately aroused the Pingbei Marquis's vigilance. His eyes stared at Zhang Chen: "Who are you? Why did you appear here?"
"I am here to deliver a letter to the Marquis. I have information about the next step of the demon race," Zhang Chen said to the Pingbei Marquis.
The Pingbei Marquis heard this and looked Zhang Chen up and down, and said calmly: "What news?"
"In your territory, some nobles have already lost their hearts and minds, secretly colluding with the demon race to rebel and subvert your rule," Zhang Chen looked at the Pingbei Marquis: "After hearing this news, I came here to report to the Marquis."
The Pingbei Marquis did not ask about the rebellion, but his eyes moved back and forth on Zhang Chen's dirty clothes, and then he asked about another matter: "Are you a commoner?"
"I am a commoner! Shouldn't the Marquis ask me about the rebellion? Whether I am a commoner or not has nothing to do with the rebellion, right?" Zhang Chen was a little confused by the other party's question.
The next moment, the Pingbei Marquis smiled coldly, then pulled off his belt. The belt was wrapped with Gang wind, flowing with the Qi of blood, and slammed towards Zhang Chen: "You, a mere lowly commoner, dare to discuss national affairs? Dare to appear in this Marquis's study without saying hello? You are really lawless! You deserve to die!"
The belt was not an ordinary belt, but made of steel. Wherever it passed, it stirred up ear-piercing howls in the air, erupting with ear-piercing air explosions, like firecrackers exploding around him. If it hit someone, they would inevitably suffer broken tendons and fractured bones.
"Qi and blood warrior!" A trace of caution appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.
But he did not detect any mysterious power in the other party, indicating that this person was neither a talented person who had mastered the power of blood nor a acquired cultivator.
Thinking about it, where are there so many bloodline holders in the world? It is already difficult for bloodline holders to give birth to offspring. The purer the bloodline, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring and pass it on.
Even the Pingbian King, who controls the various princes in the north, is just of ordinary blood, let alone the ordinary dukes and marquises?
Most bloodline inheritors are aristocratic families that have been passed down for millions of years, and the bloodline within their families will never be easily spread out, let alone intermarry with ordinary people.
