Chapter 276 Outline
The bloody tail was taken out by Zhang Chu, and the altar that had not been used for a long time was also taken out by Zhang Chu.

Looking at the altar in front of him, Zhang Chu thought of how the altar had enhanced his strength when he was weak.

Ever since Zhang Chu became more and more powerful, he rarely uses the altar.

For Zhang Chu, those enemies using the altar was an insult to himself.

However, this time it's different.

After the fox-transformed demon king performed a life-saving technique and broke through the corpse king's formation, even with Zhang Chu's strength, he could not find any trace of him.

In order to find the demon king, Zhang Chu had to use all his best skills.

Set up an altar, bless yourself, and track down the demon king who has disappeared without a trace.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a peach wood sword, and in front of him was a furry white broken tail.

Zhang Chu was dancing with the peach wood sword in his hand like a shaman, and his spiritual consciousness had already locked onto the severed tail in front of him.

"Humph~"

Immediately afterwards, a muffled groan came from Zhang Chu's body, and his face turned pale.

The tracking technique just now was about to find the location of the demon king, but it was suddenly interrupted by some unknown force. Fortunately, Zhang Chu had the dragon vein to protect him, otherwise, the backlash would not be so simple.

Even so, Zhang Chu still suffered a loss and was mentally damaged.

Sitting in the underground palace, Zhang Chu pondered for a while, then an idea suddenly occurred to him and his figure disappeared directly into the underground palace.

Being damaged in the mind is no small matter, so of course you have to restore your mind first.

As for the demon king, there will always be a chance to meet him again in the future. It won’t be too late to deal with him then.

Therefore, he returned directly to the biochemical world. As for why he didn't recover his mind in the Liao Zhai world?
It’s simple, the biochemical world is just safer.

After returning to the biochemical world, Zhang Chu directly entered a state of seclusion.

Unless there is a panacea to cure the damage to the mind, there is no other way but to recover slowly.

Sitting cross-legged in the Great Sun Demon Sealing Formation, Zhang Chu practiced silently.

In fact, after refining several demon pills, his foundation was still a little weak, even after being baptized by the dragon vein.

This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the time to recover your mind and consolidate your foundation.

As for the demon body of the lizard demon king, Zhang Chu handed it to Queen Bai, asking her to continue to refine the potion to strengthen her qi and blood.

Time is like running water, constantly flowing by.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed and Zhang Chu woke up from his retreat.

The damaged mind has completely recovered.

Now that his mind has recovered, how could Zhang Chu still be in the biochemical world?
He went straight into the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio again.

Standing on the desert, Zhang Chu sensed the location slightly and rushed in one direction.

At the beginning, he used the altar to perform the tracking technique. Even though it was interrupted, he still left a mark on the demon king's body.

Even though a year had passed, after Zhang Chu returned to the world of Liao Zhai, he could still vaguely feel the direction of the mark.

Since the mark is still there, Zhang Chu will of course go and take a look.

A Jindan-level demon king, and the kind of Jindan-level demon king who can recognize the power of humanity. Even if her strength is not that great, but just this background, it is worth it for Zhang Chu to search for her.

However, this time, Zhang Chu had no intention of using a flying sword to search, but instead used his own energy and blood to travel.

Flying with a sword, the target was too big and could be easily sensed by the demon king.

However, relying on his own energy and blood to travel, coupled with Zhang Chu's deliberate suppression and the cover-up of the power of humanity, unless Zhang Chu used his own magical powers, in the eyes of others, he was no different from an ordinary warrior.

After galloping for a while, Zhang Chu had an idea, and a horse appeared directly in front of Zhang Chu.

"Drive~"

He gently squeezed the horse's belly and galloped away in one direction.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to control the Qilin, but compared to his strength, controlling the Qilin is really too high-profile in this world.

It is easy to be targeted by those extremely powerful beings.

In fact, Zhang Chu himself was also a little curious.

He had already traveled thousands of kilometers in the world of Liao Zhai. After washing away the mark of the Sky-Chubbing Eagle King, he had never encountered any existence above the Golden Elixir again.

Could it be that this is the effect of luck?
Or was it that he was moving away from the prosperous areas, and therefore did not encounter those extremely powerful demon kings?
Zhang Chu, who was riding on a horse, shook his head and threw away the thoughts in his mind.

Isn't this good?

If he really encountered such a peerless demon king, wouldn't he have to run away again?
Improve your strength slowly, and meet people according to your strength, which is good.

Riding in the desert where life is forbidden, Zhang Chu felt quite comfortable.

To him, the forbidden land for life for ordinary people was nothing.

For a cultivator at the Jindan stage, unless he is seriously injured and dying, what does a mere desert mean to him?

Along the way, Zhang Chu also met many little monsters, most of which turned into nutrients for the Corpse King Banner.

More than a year has passed, and even though the Lizard Demon King is dead, his fame has not actually faded.

There is no demon king occupying this place yet.

The sun rose and set, and Zhang Chu didn't count how long he had been riding. He finally felt the vague mark, and it seemed to have stopped.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where the mark stopped.

With a wave of his hand, the horses were taken away.

Under the power of qi and blood, Zhang Chu rushed directly in that direction.

Every step he took covered a distance of hundreds of meters. It was not teleportation, but it was better than teleportation.

"Scorching Sun City?"

Looking at the city ahead, Zhang Chu stopped.

He seemed to have heard of this place.

In a trance, Zhang Chu remembered the old merchant he had met before, Wang Xuan.

It seemed that he once said that he had a nephew who was the commander-in-chief of Lieyang City.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to successfully bring goods out of customs and sell them on the grassland.

However, Zhang Chu could clearly feel that the mark he left on the Demon King was in the Lieyang City in front of him.

Could it be that the demon king had settled down in the city in front of him?

With light steps, Zhang Chu walked straight into the city.

Looking at the long queue and the guards verifying identities, Zhang Chu flashed and disappeared.

With the invisibility spell on him, how could ordinary people possibly see through him?
Ignoring the guards at the city gate, he walked into the city.

“So evil!”

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Chu saw a group of soldiers riding tall horses galloping towards him.

From a distance Zhang Chu could feel the murderous aura of a veteran from them.

The most important thing is that these people are quite powerful.

There is a group of people and every soldier has the strength of the top second-rate in the Fengyun world, which is equivalent to Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng who have just reached adulthood.

The strength of the young general who was in the lead was equivalent to that of Dugu Yifang who had not practiced the martial arts of immortality.

As expected of a world where demons and monsters appear, even these extremely ordinary border troops have such exaggerated strength.

Zhang Chu took a look and walked directly towards the city following his perception of the mark.

Not long after, he arrived in front of a rather majestic mansion.

Why is it said to be quite majestic?
The guards standing at the door are all powerful border troops.

Zhang Chu did not release his spiritual consciousness directly to search for the trace of the demon king. Instead, he walked past the front of the mansion as if nothing had happened.

First, find out which general in the border army owns the mansion in front of you.

Who else can use the border troops as guards unless he is a general of the border troops?

Not long after walking, Zhang Chu arrived at a restaurant.

The waiter standing at the door saw Zhang Chu's Taoist robe and said respectfully, "Please come in!"

In a world where demons are rampant and warriors are in power, Taoists are naturally highly respected.

The reason why Taoist priests are not respected is simply because they have no real ability.

How can a liar be respected?

Zhang Chu nodded and followed the waiter in.

There were quite a lot of people in the restaurant, and many of them had weapons at hand.

However, this does not affect the noise in the restaurant.

Near the border areas, not to mention the monsters, even the customs of the people are much more ferocious than those in prosperous areas.

They have long been accustomed to people around them carrying weapons.

Even the border troops were the same. At most, they were a little wary of the martial artists carrying swords, but nothing else.

Sitting in the restaurant, the waiter brought drinks and dishes.

The sounds from the surroundings also reached Zhang Chu's ears.

"Heart-digging? Mr. Wang?"

Listening to a slightly familiar name, and some information coming in one after another.

A strange look flashed across Zhang Chu's face. He picked up the bowl of wine in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. "Painted Skin?"

At this moment, Zhang Chu's heart was filled with deep doubt.

Is that mark really in the general’s mansion?

A demon king fell in love with a mortal general?

Isn't this funny?

Love and other things are indeed extremely troublesome.

Therefore, Zhang Chu stood up directly.

Whether it is true or not, you will know after going and seeing it.

He walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the mansion he had just passed.

"Master,"

As soon as he reached the door, two soldiers clenched their spears and looked at Zhang Chu warily, "What's the matter?"

"Is there a person named Wang Xuan in your house?"

"Wang Xuan?"

One of the soldiers looked at Zhang Chu in confusion, "Does the Taoist priest know Mr. Wang?"

"We have known each other for a while. When you go to report this, just say that Taoist Changsheng has arrived!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Chu said slowly.

He really wasn't lying, he really did have some friendship with Wang Xuan.

Zhang Chu followed the caravan led by Wang Xuan for more than a month before they separated.

"Master Taoist, wait a moment!"

One of the soldiers winked at another soldier and ran towards the mansion.

"Master, you are here!"

Not long after, Wang Xuan ran out of the mansion and looked at Zhang Chu in front of him with great welcome.

At the beginning, he told Zhang Chuyan that he could come to the palace to rest when he arrived in Lieyang City, and that was not just a polite remark.

In fact, even if what was said at the beginning was polite, it is no longer polite now.

A person can walk out of the desert.

The strength of this Taoist is so strong that it is enough for him to treat him with courtesy.

"I traveled here and remembered this matter, so I came to take a look!"

"Taoist Master please!"

Wang Xuan immediately invited Zhang Chu to come closer to the mansion.

The mansion in front of him was not small, it could even be said to be very large, almost like a manor.

As for Wang Xuan, he also has a small courtyard of his own in this mansion.

After the two sat down, they chatted for a few minutes.

However, after three or five words, Wang Xuan looked at Zhang Chu with awe.

"The Taoist priest's strength is indeed amazing!"

“How come you see?”

"The Taoist priest once said that this year has been spent outside the Great Wall."

After hearing this, Zhang Chu also understood.

Just now in the restaurant, Zhang Chu had heard that a great battle had just taken place outside the Great Wall.

How could a being that could survive a battle between two armies not be powerful?
What's more, Wang Xuan vaguely remembered that not long after Zhang Chu left, a black sandstorm immediately occurred in the desert, and the direction of the sandstorm was exactly the direction Zhang Chu was heading.

I don’t know how many people died in that sandstorm, but Zhang Chu was able to emerge safe and sound in it. Doesn’t this prove how powerful Zhang Chu is?
"Hahaha~"

Zhang Chu laughed heartily, "Can you tell me about the heart-wrenching incident that people in the city are talking about?"

"Heart-digging thing?"

Wang Xuan glanced at Zhang Chu and said slowly, "The heart-digging incident in the city also happened after the war."

"After the great battle with the barbarians?"

"Exactly!"

"Did anything happen after the war?"

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuan said slowly, "There is nothing unusual."

"If you win, you'll be back!"

"What about the general's mansion?"

After Zhang Chu heard it, he slowly gave some guidance.

Hearing Zhang Chu's suggestive words, Wang Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"I didn't say anything!"

Zhang Chu simply shook his head and said, "Just tell me what's going on in the general's mansion."

"After the war,"

Wang Xuan's face suddenly darkened. "My nephew, the great general Wang Sheng, saved a stunning woman during the battle and took her into his palace!"

"A stunning woman?"

Zhang Chu nodded slightly, and then walked directly to the place in Wang Xuan's house where the four treasures of the study were stored.

He simply picked up the brush with wet ink and lightly drew a few strokes on a piece of rice paper.

Wang Xuan watched Zhang Chu walk over, and followed him. Standing behind Zhang Chu, he watched Zhang Chu sketching a few strokes on the rice paper. His eyes were full of disbelief.

Even with just a few strokes, the image of the person comes to life on paper.

"Is it her?"

At this moment, Zhang Chu's voice also sounded in Wang Xuan's heart.
