I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Zhang Chen was definitely not a brainless person. If he stayed here to divide the dragon corpse with Xie Xuan and Elder Wu, what would happen to him after the division was complete?

When the time came for the three of them to escape together, who do you think Zhang Shicheng would chase?

Those two had already refined their Yang Gods, and their speed was definitely not something he could match. Even if he whipped his horse, he couldn't compare?

When the time came, the Prince of Pingbian would definitely choose to chase him first!

If he took the soul of Zhang Shicheng, the Prince of Pingbian, to search the Crystal Palace and see if there were any omissions, and waited until he estimated that the time was right, he would release his restraint on Zhang Shicheng. Then, Zhang Shicheng would definitely rush to save his physical body for the sake of his physical body, and he could take the opportunity to slip away.

Then, what would happen next would be a matter between Zhang Shicheng, Xie Xuan, and Elder Wu. What did it have to do with him?

Therefore, Zhang Chen did not hesitate to give up the dragon meat. To be honest, even if Zhang Shicheng really transformed into a dragon, he was still a human before, and Zhang Chen couldn't bring himself to eat him.

When Elder Wu and Xie Xuan heard Zhang Chen's words, they were both stunned, and a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes. After all, the dragon corpse in front of them was the main prize. Zhang Chen was just absorbing some dragon blood. How could he be willing to give up dividing the dragon corpse?

However, both of them were shrewd people. At this time, they already had some guesses in their hearts. Zhang Chen's control of Zhang Shicheng's Yang God with a mortal body must have some flaws and loopholes. Perhaps, this was where the flaws and loopholes lay.

However, the two of them were also happy to see Zhang Chen leave. After all, with one less person to divide the spoils, the two of them would have a bit more profit.

"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead," Xie Xuan said with a smile.

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this, and then dragged Zhang Shicheng's Yang God towards the other palaces of the Crystal Palace.

The Crystal Palace has three floors in total, like a pyramid, and where everyone is at this time is the first floor at the bottom.

"I say, Old Zhang, do you know what fortunes are in this Crystal Palace? Why don't you tell me and see if there are any treasures suitable for me?" Zhang Chen said jokingly to Zhang Shicheng, who had a livid face.

"Since you know my name, you should know my origins. The Pingbian Royal Mansion has been entrenched in the northern lands for hundreds of years, and it is definitely not something you can afford to offend. If you release me now, there is still a chance to salvage everything. If it is too late, and my dragon body is dissected and divided, we will definitely be irreconcilable," Zhang Shicheng stared at Zhang Chen's back with his eyes:

"You can hook out my soul, but you can't kill or destroy it. According to my speculation, you have already exhausted your skills. And once the skill is activated, it is impossible to last forever. The power in your body will always be exhausted. When that time comes, how will you resist me?"

Zhang Shicheng's voice was full of coldness.

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Shicheng upon hearing this, and a doubt suddenly arose in his heart at this time: "Are these old fogeys all so smart?"

"Boy, you underestimate the calculation power of the Yang God. The calculation power of the Yang God is definitely not something you can imagine. Even the laws of heaven and earth can be simulated and calculated, let alone such trivial matters?" Zhang Shicheng verified his guess even more through the subtle expression on Zhang Chen's face, so he said a sentence.

"So what? If I don't let you go, in less than three hours, you will definitely be dismembered. Not to mention transforming into a true dragon, you won't even have the chance to transform into a pseudo-dragon," Zhang Chen said with a smile, his voice full of ridicule: "When that time comes, the old ancestor will only have a Yang God left. I don't know how much time it will take to restore today's strength after reincarnation and seizing the body. When that time comes, I will give the old ancestor another chance and hook out your soul again. How should the old ancestor deal with it?"

"I admit that what you said is right, but have you ever thought about whether I will turn you to ashes before reincarnation and reincarnation, and then go to reincarnation?" Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhang Chen fiercely with his eyes.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng upon hearing this, blinked his eyes, and was actually speechless.

"If you release me now, we still have a chance to turn hostility into friendship," Zhang Shicheng said upon seeing that Zhang Chen could not answer.

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this: "There is no chance! I have long since formed a deadly feud with the Pingbian Royal Mansion. If it weren't for this, we would have no grievances or enmities, so why would I risk plotting against the old ancestor? Even my entry into the old ancestor's tomb was because of the Pingbian Royal Mansion's operations."

"What's going on? What hatred do you have with my Pingbian Royal Mansion?" Zhang Shicheng was stunned upon hearing this, and did not expect that there was such a cause and effect in it.

Zhang Chen gave a wry smile and recounted how he was schemed against by the Pingbian Royal Mansion, made a substitute puppet, and then exiled here, but the other party still refused to give up, wanting to plot against him to death, ordering him to enter the pit to check, wanting him to die in the cave.

"The reason why I know your identity is because of the inscription on your tombstone recorded in demonic text, not intentional planning," Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng with a wry smile: "Everything that happened today is definitely not my original intention, all because your Pingbian Royal Mansion is too deceiving, forcing me step by step to go in this direction."

"I entered the tomb to save my life, of course I had to stop the Pingbian Royal Mansion's plan. If you succeed in transforming into a dragon, the Pingbian Royal Mansion's status will greatly increase, and I will definitely die," Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng, his voice very sincere.

He was just an innocent victim!

What crime did he commit?

He did not commit any crime, he was forced to take this step.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhang Shicheng's face immediately turned green, the anger in his eyes began to roll, and his voice was full of disbelief: "Just because of this?"

Just because of this, did it lead to his failure to transform into a dragon, and even his failure to transform into a pseudo-dragon, and his real body is now being dismembered?

It turned out that the grandson made a mistake, and he, the ancestor, was called to take the blame. Zhang Shicheng was so angry that he wanted to slap that unfilial descendant back into his mother's womb. What the hell is this? If it weren't for Zhang Chen, with his gluttonous power, he would definitely be able to devour those two Yang God powerhouses. Even if he didn't have the true dragon fate and couldn't transform into a true dragon, he would definitely be able to transform into a dragon son with true dragon blood, and then find an opportunity to slowly plan it, and he might not have the chance to transform into a dragon.

Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth in anger, the anger in his heart was like a tide, surging up, as if to ignite the Yang God.

"Boy, as long as you release me, the old ancestor, and let me swallow those two guys, I will definitely go out and stand up for you after I gain freedom and recover my strength, how about that?" Zhang Shicheng hated his grandson so much that he gritted his teeth. This is really an unfilial descendant, causing him so much trouble, causing him to capsize in the gutter.

"Is the old ancestor treating me like a three-year-old child?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng with a calm gaze.

Zhang Shicheng fell silent upon hearing this. If he were in his shoes, he would never believe Zhang Chen's words. Moreover, Zhang Chen also had the fate of a true dragon, which he urgently needed. The contradiction between the two sides was already irreconcilable.

The arena returned to calm. Zhang Chen walked within the Crystal Palace, Zhang Shicheng closely following behind him:

“Old Ancestor, how about accompanying me for a stroll through this Crystal Palace?”

Zhang Shicheng didn't speak but responded with his actions.

The Crystal Palace was vast, covering an area of roughly three to five square li, about the size of a super-sized residential complex from his previous life.

Golden light flickered in Zhang Chen's eyes as he sought mysterious clues, hoping to find some remnants within the Crystal Palace.

“You can save your effort. All the treasures and valuable objects within the Crystal Palace have been completely emptied by my Pingbian Prince's Mansion,” Zhang Shicheng said, following behind Zhang Chen, a mocking expression in his eyes after seeing Zhang Chen’s actions.

Zhang Chen ignored him, continuing to walk through the Crystal Palace on his own. He wasn't just looking for treasures; he was also seeking a place to hide.

With Zhang Chen's intelligence, he could easily guess that with the appearance of the dragon transformation phenomenon, the outside would be swarming with soldiers, sealing off the Yellow River region completely.

This was the Pingbian Prince's territory. Could he possibly survive if he went out? This was definitely the best opportunity for the Pingbian Prince's Mansion to kill him.

And the most crucial point was that he possessed the True Dragon Destiny. Zhang Shicheng would never let him go.

Going out would be like walking into a trap, ensuring a complete and utter death.

Therefore, Zhang Chen had no intention of escaping. He planned to hide here and wait for the next full moon night to transform into a vampire bat and escape.

When the time came, he would transform into a vampire bat and fly away under the cover of night. He figured these guys wouldn't be able to detect his踪迹. So what if the Pingbian Prince's Mansion deployed a massive army outside? They still wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

At this moment, the True Dragon Destiny within Zhang Chen's soul seemed to sense safety, openly wandering out of his body, tearing at the dragon energy in the air, constantly strengthening itself.

Looking at the True Dragon Destiny circling around Zhang Chen, Zhang Shicheng's eyes were wide with disbelief. If he had the True Dragon Destiny, he would have transformed into a dragon long ago. How could he have fallen to such a state?

He was furious!

Absolutely infuriated.

Moreover, there was one thing he couldn't understand. He had clearly obtained the True Dragon Aura. Logically, he should have been favored by fortune, and the True Dragon Destiny should have belonged to him. How could it have been intercepted by Zhang Chen, this great-grandson generation kid?

Logically, this was completely impossible. After all, only by first obtaining the True Dragon Aura could one attract the True Dragon Destiny. But now, Zhang Chen had directly skipped a crucial step, ignoring the step of gathering the True Dragon Aura and directly gathering the True Dragon Destiny.

According to common sense, if Zhang Chen obtained the True Dragon Destiny, the True Dragon Aura would belong to Zhang Chen, and he would have no chance to obtain the True Dragon Aura.

This question had been stuck in Zhang Shicheng's mind, making him feel extremely aggrieved. He looked at Zhang Chen, unable to resist asking, “I have a question that I must ask. I wonder if you can answer it for me?”

Hearing Zhang Shicheng's words, Zhang Chen said without turning his head, “Oh? Tell me. If it's not a secret, I don't mind answering it for you.”

“How did you obtain the True Dragon Destiny? When did you obtain the True Dragon Destiny?” Zhang Shicheng asked, staring at Zhang Chen with a serious gaze. It was clear that this question was very important to him! Extremely important!

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this, looking at Zhang Shicheng: “You're talking about the True Dragon Destiny? I obtained it a month ago. Speaking of which, I have to thank your good grandson for being able to obtain this True Dragon Destiny. If it weren't for him plotting against me, I really wouldn't have been able to obtain the True Dragon Destiny.”

Speaking of which, Zhang Chen suddenly stopped. He thought of the Empress's Great Tomb. Compared to the Empress's Great Tomb, what was a True Dragon?

So, Zhang Chen decisively shut his mouth, in case he accidentally revealed any clues, allowing the old guy to find traces of the Empress's Great Tomb, which would be troublesome.

However, Zhang Chen changed his mind again. That tomb was shrouded in a Feng Shui Grand Formation. If he could use the other party's power to break the Feng Shui Grand Formation, it would be a good thing for him.

“My current strength is too weak. The matter of the Empress's Great Tomb should be temporarily kept secret and not revealed,” Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Over there, Zhang Shicheng's Yang Spirit trembled with anger upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, desperately suppressing his emotions, forcing himself to regain his composure: “Is my disappointing grandson causing trouble again? Kid, you're not trying to deceive me, are you?”

“Why would I deceive you? Your Pingbian Prince's Mansion is indeed destined to be with me,” Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Shicheng's body trembled with anger, his eyes filled with resentment: Destined? Destined my foot! It's more like the nemesis of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion.

“I also have a question. Back then, when the Dasheng Dynasty was defeated and fled into exile, you had already led your army to sweep across the land. Why didn't you just take its place?” Zhang Chen asked.

“Back then, I was just a country bumpkin who didn't know anything about the mysteries. When I marched into the Central Plains, relying on my God-Seeing-Unbreakable martial arts, I was invincible and unstoppable. Unfortunately, one day, the mysteries suddenly appeared, like a bucket of cold water poured down on me. If it weren't for the mysteries of the demon race protecting me, I'm afraid I would have been purged by the imperial court long ago,” Zhang Shicheng said, his voice full of bitterness.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen turned to look at Zhang Shicheng, his eyes full of inquiry: “I heard that the Dasheng Dynasty had two twelfth-order mysteries. Why would they give the demon race the opportunity to invade?”

“The demon race also has mysteries! I heard the demon race's mystery say that the Dasheng Dynasty's mystery seemed to have excavated some kind of technique in the ruins and then ruined themselves, which gave the demon race an opportunity. However, later, that mystery seemed to have researched some kind of result in the ruins, forcing the demon race's mystery to retreat outside the pass, so the war in the world subsided,” Zhang Shicheng said, his eyes full of emotion:

“Back then, the Dasheng Dynasty's mystery was like a big knife hanging over my head, ready to fall at any time, making me live in fear every day, desperately digging up mysteries, asking people to look for traces of mysteries. Fortunately, my efforts paid off, and I really found it.”

Speaking of which, Zhang Shicheng refused to say more, but Zhang Chen understood that what Zhang Shicheng said must be the True Dragon Aura.

“If you are willing to rely on me, this king will not only forgive your past offenses but also reward you with high positions and generous salaries. If this king can unify the world in the future, I can bestow upon you the title of a prince with a different surname,” Zhang Shicheng said, looking at Zhang Chen. He felt that in the future war, if he had Zhang Chen's help, he would definitely gain a lot when dealing with the imperial court.

Even to the point of playing a decisive role.
