The Eternal World

"Creak!" The city leader's mansion door opened.

An extraordinary looking middle-aged man with a gloomy face hurriedly walked out with a group of guards.

"Vice City Lord!" Everyone quickly greeted this person.

The Deputy City Lord raised his head and looked at the two corpses hanging above the city gate. Then, he sighed, waved his hand and ordered, "Put them down, drag them to the back and burn them!"

He then looked at the crowd, "Everyone disperse, don't stay here and watch the fun!"

The deputy city lord spoke. Although everyone wanted to know what was going on, even the deputy city lord's head was probably filled with fog as he scattered in all directions.

"This... Brother, let's go as well! " Zhu Liu said to Zhang Chao.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Chao raised his hand, and stared at the City Lord: "Seventh level of transformational stage, this Deputy City Lord's power is not weak either!"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to become a vice city lord!" Zhu Liu didn't feel that anything was amiss.

"No, I'm not saying that!" Zhang Chao shook his head, and followed Zhu Liu back to the pub to continue drinking.

However, just as they were about to turn around and leave, the vice city lord's gaze fell on Zhang Chao and he could not help but narrow his eyes.

"Is it him?" He suddenly asked a guard beside him.

"That's right, it's him!" The guard lowered his head, his appearance indiscernible, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Interesting. Since you're here, don't go back!" The Vice City Lord smiled, "Don't worry, he won't live past tonight!"

"Hehe, then I'll have to thank Vice City Lord!" The guard let out a sinister smile …

… ….

Returning to the tavern, Zhang Chao found out more about the Vice City Lord from Zhu Liu.

Although Zhu Liu didn't know much, it was enough for Zhang Chao.

The Vice City Lord was the same as the City Lord, he was also a descendant of a powerful family.

Furthermore, most of the matters in the Pei City were managed by the Vice City Lord, and could be considered as the Main Housekeeper of the Pei City.

Normally, it was said that the Vice City Lord and the City Lord had a good relationship, and they were friends who had kowtowed.

Moreover, the mayor was also trying to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage. Once he broke through, he would resign as mayor and let the vice mayor take his place.

Thus, no matter from which point of view, the City Lord had no reason to harm the City Lord.

But no matter what, Zhang Chao felt that something was wrong with the Vice City Master.

"What is it? You suspect the Vice City Lord? That's unlikely, isn't it? " After knowing what Zhang Chao was thinking, Zhu Liu could not help but ask.

"Un, according to what you said, he isn't suspicious at all. However, the more it is like that, the more others can't help but guess at him!" Zhang Chao rubbed the center of his brows. Previously, he had used his left eye to look at the Vice City Lord, although he did not find anything strange, just an ordinary cultivator, but for some reason, this person gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

After chatting for a bit longer, Zhang Chao bade farewell to Zhu Liu and returned to the inn to rest.

In any case, this Zhu Liu had been living in a tavern all year round and was addicted to alcohol, so it was easy for her to find him.

It was already late into the night.

Zhang Chao sat cross legged on the bed, and used the « Divine Zhou Algorithm ».

He turned all the clues into numbers and then used divine arithmetic to calculate them.

It had to be said that the《 Zhou Deity Algorithm》 was extremely mysterious. Through Zhang Chao's continuous calculation and reasoning, he vaguely knew the truth of what had happened here.

"So that's how it is. Interesting. Although I'm unable to calculate the exact situation, I already know what's going on!" He opened his eyes, licked his lips and smiled.

Ghastly Shadow, the dead City Lord, the guards and Grand Master, the headless corpse, the neatly dressed Vice City Lord, the Shadow Group War God Academy had mentioned …

All of these combined together allowed Zhang Chao to see some clues.

"Dong, dong, dong!" At this moment, a knock came from his room.

"Who is it?" Zhang Chao's expression changed as he asked.

"Customer, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm the waitress!" An embarrassed voice came from outside the door.

"Waiter?" Are you sure? It was already late in the morning. Why couldn't he wait until the next day? Is this how you receive guests? " Zhang Chao frowned and asked.

"Hai, I'm so sorry. If it wasn't something urgent, I wouldn't have come to disturb your rest!" The waiter kept saying no.

"Forget it. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it!" Zhang Chao snorted in his heart, but he did not seem to mind as he said that.

"This, this matter is somewhat troublesome, so esteemed guest, can you open the door first?" The waiter said awkwardly.

"No, just say it directly. How would I know if you're opening a black shop!" Zhang Chao rejected decisively.

"If that's the case, then alright. I'll come and disturb you again tomorrow morning. Please take a good rest!" The waiter was silent for a moment, and then said somewhat helplessly.

Immediately after, the sound of a waiter descending the stairs could be heard.

"Hmph, have you come to see if I'm in the room? A clumsy move! " Zhang Chao smirked, he did not plan to use any powerful methods, and casually took out a very ordinary Human Ranked Artifact from the trochophore and placed it at the door.

The killing power of these magical equipment was relatively small, but they couldn't cause too much of a commotion.

All in all, these treasures were refined by him when he was at Qiao Family and had always been thrown in the corner as a souvenir to the trochophore.

"I don't know who it is, but you want to deal with me?" "Alright, in any case, my deduction and calculation of the whole matter still lacks some detailed evidence. If you fall asleep, someone will send you a pillow. Not bad!" Zhang Chao stretched and directly laid on the bed.

Roughly an hour later, his room's door was slowly opened by someone.

Although the door was drawn from the inside, it was nothing to cultivators.

The newcomer's movements were light, and he had completely suppressed all the aura on his body as he tiptoed into the room.

When he arrived in front of Zhang Chao's bed, he slowly took out a shiny dagger and stabbed it down at Zhang Chao's heart.

Zhang Chao pretended to be asleep and did not dodge at all, allowing the dagger to land on his chest.

"Bang!" The dagger broke apart!

"What?" "This..." The newcomer was stunned.

What was going on?

Not only did the dagger not pierce through, it even broke?

"Your dagger's quality isn't good. You want to kill someone in the middle of the night with a fruit knife like this?" Aren't you thinking too simply? " Zhang Chao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him who was in a daze, holding a broken blade in his hand.

"How is this possible?" The assassin jumped back in fright.

"Who sent you to kill me? Why did you want to kill me? " Zhang Chao did not make his move, but sat up, and stared at the assassin as he asked.

"Hmph, you're already dead, why are you asking so many questions?" The assassin threw away the broken blade and assumed a fighting stance.

"Tsk tsk, what sharp words. Are you really certain you can kill me?" Zhang Chao curled his lips. The assassin in front of him had already been seen through.

This person's cultivation level was around the third level of the Energy Accumulation Realm.

"Hmph, no matter how high your cultivation is, since the higher ups sent me to get rid of you, you will definitely die!" As the assassin spoke, he took out a small loudspeaker and blew on it!

"Buzz!" The loudspeaker did not emit any ear-piercing sounds. Instead, it was extremely low and deep, much like a mosquito flapping its wings.

However, after this voice entered Zhang Chao's ears, it began to enlarge infinitely, and spread through his entire body.

He suddenly felt as if his soul had left his body!

It was as though his soul had become completely frozen under this voice.

"Heaven-grade Dharma treasure?" Zhang Chao was a little surprised, after looking at the horn, he immediately rejected his judgment: "No, it's not even at the Heaven Rank, it should only be at the middle Earth Rank, but its usage is rather special, and is only affecting the soul of the enemy!"

"However, I have long prepared for this!" Zhang Chao's finger moved, and a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the assassin's back!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The assassin was in so much pain that he could no longer blow the horn. His body staggered from the impact.

"There's more!" Zhang Chao opened his mouth once again, following which the assassin's body began to emit continuous sounds of explosions.

Although the power of the horn did not affect Zhang Chao much, he was more focused on safety. He would not let the opponent blow on him anymore, and decided to make a move earlier!

When facing any enemy, one must not be careless.

This was Zhang Chao's current principle.

"Humph, low-level magic treasure?" Although the assassin felt an incomparable amount of pain on his body, he knew that these were only low-grade magic treasures and weren't too powerful. At the very most, they would only be able to cause some superficial wounds; they were completely unable to harm him.

"What is it? look down on low-grade Dharma treasures? " Zhang Chao grinned: "Seems like you're not a professional assassin. How strong are you, and how strong are you to dare to come over and assassinate me. Who gave you that much courage and charisma?"

"Hmph, it is indeed as the rumors say, Zhang Chao, you will be hard to deal with!" The assassin pondered for a moment before speaking in a sinister tone.

"Oh? You actually know my name? Do you know who I am? " Zhang Chao was surprised this time. Other than the elders of the Mission Pavilion, no one else knew about his mission, but this assassin did?

"Not only do I know your name, I also know that you are an inner disciple of the side chamber of War God Academy. The assassin sneered.

"Aiya, you got it right!" Zhang Chao clapped his hands, and his expression changed: "Wait, cover like treasure?"

He suddenly remembered, he had indeed used a separation of fire and gold, but that was only when he was at the first level of the Endless Worm Abyss. He had dedicated it to the big spider.

"Then you know my cultivation?" Zhang Chao asked again.

"What don't you know? According to common sense, your Cultivation base should be above mine!" The assassin said, stepping backwards.

Zhang Chao's mind raced, as if he had an idea.
