Lonely Immortal

This is to regard Zhang Zhiwen as someone who came to rob them. Facing the attack of the magic weapon, Zhang Zhiwen had no way to avoid it. He could only transform. If he didn't transform, he would surely die. Therefore, he transformed instantly and then grabbed the attacking magic weapon.

With a bang, the powerful energy of the magic weapon exploded, but Zhang Zhiwen did not move at all. The mere foundation-building magic weapon could not hurt his body at all, but no one here could be spared, otherwise his transformation would definitely be leaked.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen moved and he disappeared instantly.

These cultivators, whether they were chasing or escaping, whether they were errands in the territory of the Zhao Wangfu or outsiders who participated in the recruitment of servants, were all shocked, especially when they saw Zhang Zhiwen transform for the first time, they were completely stunned.

But they didn't even have time to react, Zhang Zhiwen appeared in front of them, and then the mental attack broke out directly.

Zhang Zhiwen can have many means of attack, but mental attack after transformation is the fastest and most effective means of attack, which can be a quick victory and consume almost no energy. The ordinary cultivators are almost instantly shattered by Zhang Zhiwen's mental impact, which also saves the opponent's soul from escaping.

In this way, this group of people was eliminated by Zhang Zhiwen in an instant, and Zhang Zhiwen also left quickly. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

As soon as he left, a patrol team came behind him. Obviously, this patrol team did not know how to sense the breath of Zhang Zhiwen's transformation. Anyway, this patrol team appeared in this place at the first time.

The cultivators of these patrol teams looked at the dead cultivators on the ground, and they naturally saw the clues here.

"Is this the trick of the strange beast?"

"Yes, two died before, and now two more died. Could it be that it is planning to take the opportunity to kill people?"

"But this strange beast is also quite strange. Why doesn't it take away the human pills of these people?"

"This matter is indeed strange. I feel that this should be a strange beast that is about to transform into a monster. After transforming into a monster, they also look down on this level of human pills. It seems that they are deliberately confusing our judgment!"

"What should we do now?"

"Let's go back and report to the law enforcement team first to see how the higher-ups will deal with this matter!"

"Okay!"

...

After the patrol team saw the scene, they left, but it was obvious that they had begun to pay attention to Zhang Zhiwen's affairs. In the territory of the Zhao Wangfu, the monster openly killed people in broad daylight. This matter is a big deal. Naturally, they will report it to the higher-ups as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhiwen was fine. After he left this place of trouble, he hid temporarily, but after a series of events just now, he was actually a little confused.

First of all, why does the Zhao Palace use this method to assess the monks? Isn't this to let the monks come in and be hunted down?

Is there any meaning?

Zhang Zhiwen felt that there must be something fishy about this question, and he even felt that this might be the purpose of the monsters hiding in the Zhao Palace.

Imagine that after these foreign monks came into the territory of the Zhao Palace, they were constantly hunted down, and then the territory of the Zhao Palace must be more chaotic. No matter which side wins, it is actually good for the monsters. As long as they take the opportunity to harvest human pills, it will definitely be a good thing for them.

Otherwise, they don't seem to have any special way to harvest human pills, at least they can't have such an opportunity as now.

If this is the case, then the purpose of this assessment is very clear, and if you think about it carefully, it is even more creepy, because the person who makes such a decision must be a powerful person in the palace.

Obviously, Lin Jingyuan said that there was a big monster in the Zhao Palace, and it seemed to be true, but this big monster was really powerful. It could actually lurk in the Zhao Palace and had such a high status.

When Zhang Zhiwen thought of this, he felt a headache. He was not even a servant now. What ability did he have to challenge the big monster?

Secondly, the foreign cultivators also brought various elixirs, or refined some elixirs here, so they still had a chance to reach the palace, but Zhang Zhiwen did not have such elixirs, so he could only rely on transformation to survive.

But transformation is very dangerous. Once discovered by the patrol team, it would definitely be a big trouble. Zhang Zhiwen even felt that the cultivators in the Zhao Palace might also be a potential threat, because they also had identity tokens, and these identity tokens were together with the palace protection formation. Is it possible that this identity token would expose Zhang Zhiwen's transformation?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen was also depressed. Obviously, this is absolutely possible, but he has only made two moves so far. These cultivators are unprepared and probably did not record the scene of his killing. But he should not be able to use transformation to kill people in the future.

Since he cannot use transformation to kill people, he must still need some other things to restore some of his cultivation, such as elixirs, magic tools, etc.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen is not in a hurry to travel now, because rushing to travel is undoubtedly equivalent to sending himself to death, or exposing his transformation. But where can he get these elixirs or magic tools now?

Zhang Zhiwen also has some clues. He has to take the opportunity to inquire about this matter, otherwise if he always pretends to be a chores, he will be exposed sooner or later.

This is the second reason. Third, even if Zhang Zhiwen knew that there was a big monster lurking in the Zhao Palace, and he also found a way to recover some of his cultivation, it would not be so easy for him to reach the palace, because there are many competitors here, and there are only 100 places for servants. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of foreign cultivators have joined this recruitment competition. There are many relatives here. They have backgrounds and backers, and their backers don’t have to bear any consequences if they want to kill foreign cultivators like Zhang Zhiwen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen felt a little headache. It seems that the difficulty of this recruitment of servants is not ordinary. The threshold of the Zhao Palace is not so easy to cross.

However, just when Zhang Zhiwen was hiding in the corner and thinking carefully about how to decide the next step, someone came.

Zhang Zhiwen's current cultivation level was not enough to detect the surrounding situation. Therefore, when the person who came had already appeared at the entrance of the alley, he realized that Zhang Zhiwen was in a very bad situation. However, the other party saw that Zhang Zhiwen was dressed as a servant, but he did not say much. He just passed by here and did not target Zhang Zhiwen.

But when the man walked halfway, he stopped again, then looked at Zhang Zhiwen and asked, "Are you from the East Courtyard?"

East Courtyard? What East Courtyard? Zhang Zhiwen was confused, but he roughly knew what the other party meant. This was asking about his identity and origin.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen could only nod his head, but Zhang Zhiwen did not say anything, but the person's face suddenly changed, and then shouted: "Come here, there is an outsider here!"

Hoo?

Zhang Zhiwen was a little stunned. How did he become a hooligan? But soon, he understood that the so-called hooligan was a cultivator like him who came from outside to participate in the recruitment of servants and pretended to be a servant. Isn't that a hooligan?

The man shouted, and many people rushed out from all sides, surrounding Zhang Zhiwen. They were going to kill him.

Zhang Zhiwen had no choice now. He had to take action, otherwise he would be beaten to death by these people. But just when he was about to transform, the patrol team came.

Seeing the patrol team appear, the group was shocked at first and stopped immediately. The patrol team fell down. Seeing so many people surrounding Zhang Zhiwen, they seemed to turn a blind eye. They just came to see the situation here and see if there were any monsters.

But obviously, there were no monsters here, and Zhang Zhiwen's original idea of ​​transforming was cut off. He certainly couldn't transform in front of the patrol team.

The patrol team looked for a while, and then they left. The group of people directly surrounded Zhang Zhiwen and tied him up.

Zhang Zhiwen was captured by this group of people. This was something Zhang Zhiwen had not expected. If this group of people wanted to kill him, he would have to transform, otherwise he would die here. But this group of people did not do so. Instead, they captured Zhang Zhiwen and took him away.

This was unexpected by Zhang Zhiwen. He did not know where this group of people were going to take him. This place seemed to be a medicine hall. Then they took Zhang Zhiwen in through the back door.

"Old Four, this guy is in your hands. Let's go see if there are any more bastards!"

A monk who seemed to be the leader ordered, and the guy called Old Four nodded in response.

In this way, the group of people left under the leadership of this guy, and only this old four was left to escort Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything. He silently observed the situation of these people from beginning to end. These people had very low cultivation. The highest one was the leader just now, who was only in the middle stage of foundation building. The fourth man beside him was only in the sixth stage of Qi Refining. If his cultivation was still intact, Zhang Zhiwen could kill this guy in one breath.

But at this moment, the situation was different. He was also bullied by a dog in a low position. The fourth man was very arrogant. He pushed Zhang Zhiwen and cursed at him. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhiwen and other outsiders.

Zhang Zhiwen knew that his identity was exposed. It was estimated that the man just now was testing him. There was no East Court here. Zhang Zhiwen admitted that he must be a fake.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what these people wanted to do with him. Could it be that they wanted to blackmail him? But it would be better to kill him directly and take away his storage bag, right?

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen thought about it for a while, and suddenly he was shocked. He guessed that this group of people probably captured him to take his human pill? Or feed it to monsters? Otherwise, why would this group of people do this?

However, the fourth brother just escorted Zhang Zhiwen to a dungeon, and there were guards guarding the dungeon. After they talked for a few words, the guard took Zhang Zhiwen away.

Entering the dungeon, it was dark all the way, and the smell was extremely foul. The surroundings were also very humid, but Zhang Zhiwen saw that there were actually many people imprisoned here. It seemed that they were all foreign monks, and these foreign monks looked dying, as if they had been tortured in this place for a long time.

This surprised Zhang Zhiwen even more. It didn't seem like they were going to feed some monsters, right? If they were feeding monsters, they would have died long ago, right?

However, the guard didn't say anything along the way. He just escorted Zhang Zhiwen inside, and then came to the door of an empty cell. He took out the key to open the door, and then pushed Zhang Zhiwen in.

Zhang Zhiwen was locked up, and then he found that this place was no different from a pigsty, with a terrible stench. The ground was just a pool of mud, and some dirty straw was randomly scattered on it. However, Zhang Zhiwen didn't care much. He just wanted to see what this place was used for and why he was locked up.

And he would not use his transformation unless he had no choice. Now he would take a look at the situation first. So, Zhang Zhiwen found a slightly cleaner place in the corner to sit down. Although this place was extremely smelly, Zhang Zhiwen had been accustomed to this environment since he was a child. He didn't care how bad the conditions were here.

However, he had just sat down to sit down, and there seemed to be movement next door. Zhang Zhiwen looked up and saw that there was an old man in the next door. The two sides were separated by an iron fence. For Zhang Zhiwen, who was in the first stage of the Qi Refining Period, the iron fence was unbreakable, and the same was probably true for the old man.

The old man was hunched over and coughing, as if he was about to die. Seeing him like this, Zhang Zhiwen didn't look at him any more and retracted his gaze.

But soon, the old man staggered towards Zhang Zhiwen, then lay on the iron fence and shouted to Zhang Zhiwen: "Hey... Hey..."

His voice was extremely hoarse and weak. If it weren't for the quietness in the cell, you really couldn't hear his voice.

Zhang Zhiwen heard the voice and looked at him again, not knowing what the old man was going to do. When the old man saw Zhang Zhiwen coming, he quickly waved at Zhang Zhiwen and motioned Zhang Zhiwen to come over.

Zhang Zhiwen thought about it, then he stood up and came to the old man.

The old man looked Zhang Zhiwen up and down, and there seemed to be some excitement in his eyes. He didn't know what he was excited about, but Zhang Zhiwen always felt that the old man was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But at this time, the old man spoke again.

"Sir... are you from outside?"

The old man's voice was hoarse and weak, but his expression was still clear.

Zhang Zhiwen thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up again, and then he grabbed the iron fence and said excitedly: "That, that's great, that's great, you save me out, save me out!"

Zhang Zhiwen was speechless. He couldn't even save himself, how could he save this old man? Besides, they just met by chance, why would Zhang Zhiwen save him?
