Chapter 214 Chess Pieces
As night fell, the Wang family became more and more noisy.
How can there be no banquet when the master of the house arrives?
As for Zhang Chu, he sat cross-legged in the guest room, showing no intention of participating.
His time could not be wasted on these meaningless things, which was why the woman in pink brought him wine and food.
We cannot exclude him just because he does not participate.
At midnight, the noise from the Wang family faded away, and the fire in the yard was extinguished. Only the bright moon in the sky was still hanging there, and the soft moonlight was scattered in Wushuang City.
Zhang Chu, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his extremely sharp eyes, pushed open the tightly closed door, looked around, and then disappeared.
Although the wall of the wealthy family’s house was high, it could not stop Zhang Chu from climbing over it.
Walking on the roof tiles and jumping in the narrow streets, even though the movements were big, there was no sound at all.
Soon, he arrived at the core area of Wushuang City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Wushuang City belongs to the Dugu family. The City Lord's Mansion of Wushuang City is also the residence of the Dugu family, which can be said to be a dual-purpose mansion.
Looking at the burning torches and the patrolling guards with swords, Zhang Chu shook his head slightly.
The City Lord's Mansion, which seemed airtight, was actually just a thatched hut with leaks everywhere for the peerless masters.
After watching silently for a while, Zhang Chu tapped his toes lightly, and in a flash, he had already entered the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards were quite capable, but were they able to find Zhang Chu? That was impossible.
Although the City Lord's Mansion was full of dangers and had tight defenses, after Zhang Chu entered it, it was as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
The City Lord's Mansion is so huge that it would take a long time to explore it thoroughly.
Standing in the shadow, Zhang Chu thought for a moment, and then his extremely powerful spiritual awareness spread silently in the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon, Zhang Chu had a clear understanding of the situation inside the City Lord's Mansion.
"found it!"
With the help of his spiritual consciousness, he had found a three-story attic filled with books. He thought that was the place he was looking for.
His spiritual consciousness dissipated, and Zhang Chu rushed towards the three-story attic.
Soon, Zhang Chu arrived in front of the attic. Looking at the tightly closed door, he walked forward, used his hand as a knife, and with a light cut, the copper lock broke into two pieces.
Just when the copper lock fell in mid-air, it disappeared. It had already been put into the storage space by Zhang Chu.
It is better not to take too many risks when you are not sure what kind of world this is.
"Shu~"
A palm-sized, intelligent computer-like object appeared in Zhang Chu's hand.
"Xiaohong, record all the books!"
Then, a light that blended with the darkness appeared in the attic and began to scan.
It is indeed much more convenient to have Red Queen.
If Zhang Chu scanned with his spiritual sense, there might be some clues left, but it was different for Red Queen.
The power she brought with her did not contain any supernatural power.
After scanning the first layer, we start scanning the second layer, and finally the third layer.
It has to be said that there are indeed a lot of books in Wushuang City. Even at Hong Hou's speed, it took her half an hour to record all the books in the three-story attic.
Just as Zhang Chu came quietly, the recording ended and Zhang Chu left quietly as well.
After returning to the guest room provided by the Wang family for Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu sat cross-legged immediately.
"Transfer the recorded information!"
A ray of light rushed directly into Zhang Chu's mind. Before the light reached Zhang Chu's mind, it was directly received by his spiritual consciousness.
Countless pieces of information were churning in Zhang Chu's mind, and soon he completely absorbed all of this information.
Recalling the various pieces of information in his mind, Zhang Chu finally felt a little relieved.
This world should be a TV drama world, not a comic book world, and the power is far less exaggerated than in the comic book world.
It seems that his martial arts of immortality can be further deduced.
By collecting all the martial arts books in this world, it may be possible to deduce version 3.0 of the Longevity Martial Arts.
Now he was thinking about how to collect the information.
Originally, if this world was a TV drama world, Zhang Chu would have planned to look for Xiong Ba. Tianxia would be so powerful, and with the impetus of Zhang Chu, it would only be a matter of time before it swept the world.
By then, naturally, there will be countless martial arts secrets delivered to Zhang Chu's hands.
However, Xiongba was pushed forward by Emperor Shitian after all. If Zhang Chu suddenly joined in, he would most likely come into conflict with Emperor Shitian.
It was not in Zhang Chu's mind to confront Emperor Shitian so early.
However, if we support Wushuang City, it will also be a troublesome matter.
It’s not that Wushuang City is not strong, nor that Wushuang City doesn’t have a strong foundation, but interrupting Xiongba’s rise will inevitably attract the attention of Emperor Shitian.
It is only a matter of time before he confronts Indra.
"Indra, you really are like a stumbling block!"
Zhang Chu sighed slightly and stopped thinking about it. Things will work out when the time comes.
The vitality of heaven and earth in this world is still relatively abundant, so Zhang Chu naturally would not give up any opportunity to increase his magic power.
Therefore, the Heavenly Corpse Art started to work directly, and the surrounding spiritual energy quickly poured into Zhang Chu's body.
In the Wushuang City today, there is no one who can sense the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth. Therefore, even if the vitality of heaven and earth around him quickly flows towards Zhang Chu's Divine Song, there is no need to worry about being discovered.
As for the lord of Wushuang City?
If he could sense the changes in the vital energy of heaven and earth, he would not have been killed by Nie Feng.
That’s right, the combined power of the two unparalleled swords is indeed extremely powerful, but if they were facing the Sword Saint Dugu Jian or the Heavenly Sword Wuming, the result would most likely be different.
What's more, even if there were changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, Tian Jian Wuming and Sword Saint Dugu Jian might not be able to sense it.
The two of them are just very sensitive to swordsmanship. If there is any peerless sword in the world, they will definitely be able to sense it. This is the instinct of a swordsman.
However, if you are close, you may be able to feel the fluctuations of the vital energy of heaven and earth, but if you are far away, it will be useless.
Unless they are peerless powerful people like Xiao Sanxiao and Emperor Shitian who exist in this world, they can keenly sense the fluctuations of the vital energy of heaven and earth.
After all, both of them have the blood of divine beasts.
The sky gradually brightened, and Zhang Chu also opened the door.
"Master,"
A servant had been standing there for a long time. When he saw Zhang Chu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, please come over!"
Zhang Chu nodded slightly and followed the servant.
Whether you are leaving or not, you have to tell the host, otherwise it would be impolite, right?
"I've met the Taoist priest!"
Seeing Zhang Chu coming in, Wang Molin immediately put down what he was holding and came forward to greet him, "I wonder if the captain had a good rest last night?"
"Not bad!"
Zhang Chu nodded slightly, "I am here to say goodbye!"
"what?"
Wang Molin didn't react for a moment, but he looked a little flustered, "But the hospitality was not good enough?"
When he first came to Wushuang City, he was thinking about taking advantage of Zhang Chu's power!
"I came out to travel,"
Zhang Chu smiled slightly, "It's impossible to stay in one place for long!"
Wang Molin suddenly fell silent.
"Of course,"
Looking at Wang Molin's expression, Zhang Chu continued, "You guys lead the way for me, so I have to give you some reward!"
"Master," Wang Molin said hurriedly, "What's the point of talking about such a trivial matter?"
However, before he could finish his words, he could no longer speak.
Zhang Chu said something he couldn't refuse.
"Before I leave, I will say hello to Dugu Yifang and ask him to take proper care of you!"
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
Even though Wang Molin was ecstatic in his heart, he did not get carried away at all and quickly saluted.
"Farewell!"
However, when he raised his head, he could no longer see Zhang Chu.
"The head of the family,"
At this moment, Wang Jiayi walked in, looked at Wang Molin who was a little dazed, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Then he looked around again and said, "Didn't they say the Taoist priest is here?"
"The Taoist priest has left!"
Wang Molin didn't know whether what Zhang Chu said was true, so he didn't tell Wang Jiayi about it.
How big of a favor can it be if I just show you the way?
After leaving the Wang family, Zhang Chu went towards the City Lord's Mansion of Wushuang City.
This time, I felt familiar with the route.
His figure flashed and he traveled dozens of meters away, and soon he arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
There were two bored guards standing in front of the City Lord's Mansion. In Wushuang City, who would dare to cause trouble in front of the City Lord's Mansion?
However, when he looked at the two guards in front of him, his eyes widened.
A Taoist priest was moving quickly. He was originally four or five hundred meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of them.
In an instant, both of them became alert. This Taoist was definitely a peerless master in the martial arts world.
"Two,"
Looking at the two people on guard, Zhang Chu smiled slightly, "Please inform them that I want to visit the Lord of Dugu City!"
"Master,"
After hearing that the person was visiting, the two guards relaxed a lot. "What's your name? So we can report to you!"
"Immortal immortal!"
"Master Changsheng, please wait a moment. I will report to the city lord right away!"
A guard glanced at Zhang Chu and was a little confused. He had never heard of this Taoist name, but he did not dare to delay and quickly went into the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards of Wushuang City, especially the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, are all top-notch personnel with extremely sharp eyesight.
Judging from the speed at which Zhang Chu moved just now, it was clear that even if he had never heard of this name, he had to report it to the city lord as soon as possible.
Without giving Zhang Chu any time to wait, a middle-aged man came out in a hurry in less than a minute. Seeing Zhang Chu standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately went to greet him.
"I am Dugu Yifang, and I am honored to meet Taoist Changsheng."
He looked at Zhang Chu with confusion, as there was no such person in his memory.
Originally, he was handling official business in Wushuang City when he received a report from the guards saying that a Taoist wanted to see him.
He didn't want to see him at first, but after hearing the guard's description, he immediately came out to greet him in person.
He had only seen that kind of speed on his elder brother Dugu Jian.
Therefore, he understood that the person coming to visit him was a master of the same level as his elder brother.
"Meet Lord Dugu!"
Zhang Chu bowed and explained his purpose, "I am passing by here, so I came to pay you a visit. I hope the city lord will not mind!"
"Taoist Master, you're welcome!"
When Dugu Yifang heard this, he understood that the Taoist priest in front of him was not here to cause trouble, but to pay a visit, so he was also very enthusiastic, "Please!"
Zhang Chu nodded slightly and followed Dugu Yifang in.
When they arrived at the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, the two sat opposite each other and chatted about some meaningless things.
We just met, how else can we talk if not this?
"Lord of Dugu City,"
After a while of greetings, Zhang Chu finally got to the point, "When I came to Wushuang City this time, Wang Molin helped me lead the way."
"I am going to travel to other places now,"
Dugu Yifang was a little puzzled and didn't know what Zhang Chu meant.
Let him take care of it?
He and Zhang Chu don’t have such a close relationship yet!
"So, please ask City Lord Dugu to take care of them and solve their problems!"
Then, he talked about the troubles Wang Molin had encountered.
"this."
Dugu Yifang thought about it and felt that the matter was not a big deal, it was just a matter of his asking for help.
In the southern martial arts world, he is the only one and has the face.
But, doesn't this make him seem too cheap?
"Will it not embarrass City Lord Dugu?"
Looking at Dugu Yifang's expression, Zhang Chu understood what he was thinking.
Therefore, he stretched out a finger and pointed it at Dugu Yifang's forehead.
After seeing this scene, Dugu Yifang wanted to hide away immediately.
However, even though he struggled hard, his body showed no sign of moving at all.
He even couldn't shout even if he wanted to.
For a moment, his eyes were filled with fear, as if he was going to die here.
However, at the moment when Zhang Chu's finger landed on his forehead, he did not feel any force, as if it was just a light tap.
Dugu Yifang was a little angry. Wasn't this a joke on him?
It’s not like he has no background. His elder brother, the Sword Saint, is still alive.
Therefore, he opened his mouth to reveal his background, "Master, you..."
However, before he could finish his words, a burst of information burst into his mind, and for a moment, he had a splitting headache.
However, after receiving the information in his mind, his face turned gloomy, as if he had encountered something bad.
He looked at Zhang Chu in front of him with extreme solemnity. Such means were beyond his understanding.
The Taoist in front of him could actually directly stuff a stream of information into his mind.
Thinking of the content of the message, he felt terrible, "Master, is this true?"
"The world is like a chess game, and all living beings are chess pieces."
Zhang Chu smiled slightly, and a voice resounded in Dugu Yifang's mind, like a loud bell, "The result has been told to you!"
"I just want to see if you, the chess piece, can turn the tables under these conditions!"
"If you can turn the tables, you can become my chess piece!"
"For you, this may be a blessing!"
"Remember, you can't tell anyone about this. Just keep it in your heart!"
"Otherwise, the result will be unpredictable!"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Chu's figure completely disappeared in the reception room, leaving only Dugu Yifang who was in a daze.
