I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 92: Three Critical Days
Unfortunately, there is a severe drought in the world now, and the mountains, rivers and rivers have all dried up. Otherwise, with his ability to control all the water flows within 50 meters, even if you have thousands of troops, you are just ants. How can you do anything to me?
Zhang Chen wanted Zhang Xiaohua to die. The sooner she died, the safer he would be! The risk of being exposed would be lower, so he was forcing Zhang Xiaolan and waiting for her answer.

"Three days! It only takes three days for him to open his mouth! He is just a country bumpkin, how can he bear the punishment? You might as well wait quietly in the city for three days, and then we will know the result." Zhang Xiaolan said firmly: "But I can't ask you to stay outside, you must go back to Pingbian Palace with me! After all, this world is not safe, and the Procuratorate may always follow the clues to track you down. If you get into trouble, the prince will be sad. You must know that because of the explosion, the captain of the Procuratorate has noticed you. If you go back at this time, you will definitely be detained by the Procuratorate. It is also difficult for my Pingbian Palace to face the Procuratorate!"

"The Censorate! The Censorate! This woman has mentioned the Censorate more than once. It seems that the Pingbian Palace is very afraid of the Censorate! If I want to get away safely, maybe I can find a way to contact the Censorate." Countless thoughts flashed wildly in Zhang Chen's mind.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was still hesitating, Zhang Xiaolan repeated:

"Besides, the prince is already waiting for you at home, but it's not good to ask him to wait any longer."

Zhang Chen frowned upon hearing this, and thought to himself, "This is really a tricky situation. I never thought that I would cause such trouble just by blowing up a vixen. If I don't agree to Zhang Xiaolan's insistence on going back, I'm afraid this woman will also become suspicious."

After thinking about it, Zhang Chen decided to go back with Zhang Xiaolan to the Pingbian Palace first to attract everyone's attention. In this way, Zhang Xiaohua in the prison would be even less noticed.

"Forget it, I'll go back with you." Zhang Chen said helplessly.

Zhang Xiaolan smiled when he heard this: "That's right! We are a family, how can I harm you?"

"By the way, what should we do with Zhang Chen's family?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Xiaolan and asked.

Zhang Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I know you and Zhang Chen have had conflicts over the years, and you've suffered a lot, and you're resentful. But every wrong has its perpetrator, and they are orphans and widows after all. We should plot against them first, so why not let them live?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaolan. He didn't expect that this girl was so kind.

Zhang Chen pretended to be entangled when he heard that. The girl said, "You just returned to the palace, but you don't know that the prince doesn't like cruel people. The prince likes people with mellow temperaments the most. If you make the prince dislike you, it will be troublesome in the future. Now that the Pingbian Palace is about to accomplish great things, it is no longer afraid of the court's suppression. In the future, the prince's offspring will be born continuously. You still need to leave a good impression on the prince. After all, the future succession of the Northland is the most important. If things are ruined because of a few women, children, the elderly and the young, it is not worth it."

"Forget it, I'll listen to my sister and spare them for now." Zhang Chen said unwillingly.

Zhang Xiaolan's words just told him to go down the stairs.

Seeing that Zhang Chen listened to his advice, Zhang Xiaolan took a bite of the octopus ball, then casually glanced at the surrounding streets:

"But I have something else to remind you of."

"Sister, please speak." Zhang Chen said obediently.

"It's not that we don't have rivals in the North. The Inspectorate has great power in patrolling on behalf of the Emperor. He's the number one enemy of my Pingbian Palace. He monitors our palace's every move on behalf of the Emperor, and has caused a lot of trouble to the palace over the years. The head of the Inspectorate is especially troublesome. Even the prince has to be wary of him and may be controlled by him. You must never take your safety in the North lightly. If the Inspectorate knows your whereabouts, you'll be in danger." Zhang Xiaolan said cautiously.

"The Procuratorate?" Zhang Chen asked curiously, "I wonder what the Procuratorate does?"

"The Inspection Office is a secret service agency directly under the Emperor. It is very mysterious, extremely mysterious. It has countless talented people and spies all over the world. It has great power in the North. The most important thing is that the Inspection Office has military power in the North. There are 50,000 troops rooted in the North. It is a nail driven by the Emperor in the North.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, why would I go and provoke the Procuratorate?"

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this. The more powerful the Jianxiusi was, the happier he was. If something happened to him in the Pingbian Palace, he could still find a way to contact the Jianxiusi. Maybe with his special abilities, he could get a job in the Jianxiusi.

According to the fox spirit, gods are extremely rare and secretive, but Zhang Chen feels that as the largest organization in the world, it must not be that easy for the imperial court to unify the world.

The two of them wandered around the streets for half a day, then Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiaolan got on a carriage and headed towards the Pingbian Palace.

Zhang Chen sat in the carriage, thinking: "I only have three days left! For me, the biggest problem is how to deal with my stepmother and younger sister. My trip to Pingbian Palace is full of dangers and the risk of being exposed is huge. If I cause any trouble, my stepmother and younger sister will definitely be implicated by Pingbian Palace."

Zhang Chen was sitting in the car, feeling extremely anxious and unable to remain calm anymore.

You know, he originally wanted to fake his death, but who would have thought that he would accidentally overhear such a shocking secret?
"What should I do?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind at this moment, but he couldn't make sense of it.

"Perhaps we can ask the fox spirit and see if she has any solution. After all, the fox fairy Nannan has been following Zhang Xiaohua for five years, so we don't know what secrets she might know." Zhang Chen thought to himself, and the fox fairy Nannan was summoned out. Then he saw the fox fairy Nannan perform an illusion: "I have blinded her perception."

After the fox fairy Nannan finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Chen and said, "You can't go to the Pingbian Palace. If you go, you will surely die!"

Zhang Chen frowned: "Why?"

"Because you can't read! And that Mr. Wuliu is a person you must meet. How are you going to pass these two levels?" asked the fox fairy Nannan.

"It's true that I can't read, but don't I still have you?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan.

"You have been secretly observing me for so long, don't you know that I am illiterate too?" the fox fairy Nannan said speechlessly.

"And since you have returned to your roots, how could the King of Pingnan not leave a mark on Zhang Xiaohua's body? As long as he checks, you will definitely be exposed!" said the fox fairy Nannan.

Zhang Chen stared at Fox Fairy Nannan with his eyes fixed on her: "You have been with Zhang Xiaohua for so long, you should know what marks are on her body, right?"

The vixen shook her head when she heard that: "I don't know! I'm not a voyeur, but I don't bother to look at a man's body."

At this point, the fox fairy Nannan said with a serious face: "The most crucial thing is that the Prince of Pingbian Palace is returning to the palace, and his background verification is extremely complicated. There is no way you can hide it. The Pingbian Palace cannot entrust all the procedures to an outsider like Zhang Xiaolan! If you pretend to be the prince and enter the palace now, you will be found out by the time, and the King of Pingbian will catch you with evidence. By then, you will have no place to appeal even if you are torn to pieces." "But if I don't enter the Pingbian Palace to fight for my life, do you think that poor scholar will let me go?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Don't forget, you are one of the two protagonists of this explosion. The Procuratorate must have noticed you. You have not committed any serious crime. How dare the Prince of Pingbian kill innocent people? The Procuratorate is watching in secret, and it is eager to give the Prince of Pingbian some eye drops at this critical moment!" The vixen's voice was full of seriousness:
"Moreover, you underestimated the intelligence network of Prince Pingbian's Mansion. When Prince Pingbian was about to take the Crown Prince back, all the information about the Crown Prince's life had already appeared on Prince Pingbian's desk. If you want to get the identity of the Crown Prince, Prince Pingbian's Mansion must have conducted the most rigorous investigation, and not a single clue would be missed. The most important thing is that you don't look like Prince Pingbian at all!"

"Do you think you have concealed this woman? Have you ever thought that this woman is fighting for a way out for the child in her belly? If the prince really died in prison, and the child in her belly grows up in the future and reveals this matter, what will you do then?"

Zhang Chen fell silent after hearing this. He never expected that there was such a trick in it. Moreover, the fox spirit was worthy of being a fox spirit. She thought of everything. She even thought of things that he had not thought of.

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this. After hearing what the vixen said, he felt that he had thought things were too simple.

Zhang Chen felt that he was a bit stupid. He had not committed any crime. At most, it was just an accusation by Zhang Xiaohua. However, he also had proof of his alibi. He could not be convicted based on Zhang Xiaohua's one-sided statement alone.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua has just returned to the Pingbian Palace, and her every move is being watched by the Procuratorate. The Procuratorate is eager to find something bad about Zhang Xiaohua. How could Zhang Xiaohua dare to take the risk of attacking him?

Unless there is irrefutable evidence!

"Maybe the people from Pingbian Palace have already picked up Zhang Xiaohua." The vixen looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes.

"So what is my choice? Fight back?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and at the same time he looked at his own gold finger page:
【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level ): Light of the Righteous God -> Automatic Cruise]

[Skill 2 (Level ): ​​Dragon Energy]

[Skill 3 (Level ): Transform into a Blood Bat]

[4th skill (second level): Water control]

[5th ​​skill (first level): Soul-catching chain]

Looking at his own golden finger, Zhang Chen decisively pressed the option of killing again. His own skills were really useless!
The first skill, the fourth level of the Light of the True God, seems to be only effective against monsters. If it is a monster in the soul state, the lethality is doubled!

The second skill, Dragon Qi, can tame wild animals, but I am now in the city, where can I find wild animals?
The third skill is to transform into blood bats, which can only evolve thirty-six bats to suck blood, giving the player the ability to recover from injuries by sucking blood. However, he is still a mortal. Facing soldiers wearing armor or soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands, he will not gain any benefits.

The only way to escape with the third skill is to transform into a bat on the night of the full moon on the 15th, but the 15th was just yesterday!
His fourth skill, water control, can make him invincible and not afraid of thousands of troops, but the key is that there is a severe drought in the north and all the rivers have dried up. Where can he find a big river?

As for the fifth skill, there is no need to mention it!
So Zhang Chen thought about it and felt that he was not afraid of demons or monsters, but he fell into the hands of ordinary mortals and he lacked the means to deal with them.

"Kill them?" The vixen laughed strangely, "Do you know why the Dasheng Dynasty was able to hold the throne? Do you know about the story of King Pingbian and the Dasheng Dynasty? If you knew, you would never have such a stupid idea of ​​killing them."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Zhang Chen became interested.

"Because the Dasheng Dynasty Inspection Office has two twelfth-order mysteries!" The fox spirit said this with a hint of fear in her eyes: "You will never know how terrifying the twelfth-order mysteries are. Although your strength is good, facing a twelfth-order existence, it only takes a little aftermath to crush you into dust. Twelfth-order existences can burst out with the power to destroy the world. The cracks in the True Dragon Tomb were just caused by the aftermath of the collision of the ninth-order mysteries."

Hearing the vixen's words, Zhang Chen's pupils shrank involuntarily, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes. That crack that stretched for hundreds of miles was actually caused by just a ninth-order existence? Isn't this too exaggerated?

"What realm is the ninth level?" Zhang Chen asked.

"There is no realm of mystery. The ninth-level mystery is the ninth-level mystery, but if measured by the spiritual realm, the ninth level is called: Yang Shen."

“Yang Shen!!!”

Zhang Chen's voice changed a little. He was very familiar with this word. Anyone who has read the novel Meng Ru Shen Ji would know how terrifying this state is.

Even if placed in the realistic Taoist system of later generations, he would probably be a real immortal!
This realm is only the ninth level?
"So the only way I have left is to escape?" Zhang Chen took a breath.

"If you run away, your younger sister and brother will also be implicated, and they will suffer with you." said the vixen.

"Then I will go to the Inspection Office." Zhang Chen said.

"No one knows where the office of the Procuratorate is. Even if you want to seek refuge there, you won't be able to find the door." The vixen shook her head again to reject Zhang Chen's idea.

"Then I can only wait to die?" Zhang Chen looked at the vixen.

"If you die, I will be buried with you, so you must not die." The fox spirit frowned, "We have to find a way to return to the tomb and seize the twelfth-level mystery. With the power of the twelfth-level mystery, we may have a chance to compete with the Pingbian Palace."

"That Feng Shui formation cannot be broken in a short time! And if I run away, what will happen to my brothers and sisters?" Zhang Chen took a breath and thought to himself, "Is the only way out but to fake my death?"

ps: I am thinking about whether to enter the palace, but I have no idea how to write it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any good ideas?
