The Eternal World

In the eastern sky floated a pale belly of fish. The long night had finally come to an end.

At this time, Zhang Chao was already seated at the window of a house on the second floor. He looked out at the street in the early morning with a haggard expression.

The number of commoners on the streets gradually increased. There were many peddlers selling breakfast, pushing carts, setting up tables and chairs at various crossroads, and starting the day's livelihood.

Beside him, Xiao Qiang and Kang Min were also looking out of the window listlessly. Yan Guang was lying on a chair, with the ancient book on his face as he slept soundly.

"Hey, why does this guy look so unsightly to me?" Must he bring this annoying fellow along with him? We don't even know who he is! " Xiao Qiang could no longer hold it in, and whispered into Zhang Chao's ears.

"Nonsense, you think I'm willing to bring along another burden? But now, he's saying that some dark faction is going to harm us, and you know more about them than him? " Zhang Chao curled his lips. This fellow called Yan Guang, was not from the Holy Sphere of Light. Furthermore, he seemed to have quite a bit of understanding towards the Demon race.

This was his first time seeing such a strange profession.

Allegedly, according to the level of demons he killed, if he gave his head to some mysterious group, he would be rewarded accordingly.

That mysterious organization was called the Guardian Council.

As for how the Acropolis Guild was formed and by whom, even Yan Guang himself was not clear about it.

However, Zhang Chao was very sure that there were many mysterious powers in the Ping Realm, and it was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

Previously, Zhang Chao had killed triangular-eyed man and killed all the black beetles formed from the demonic energy. Although the price was destroying the entire inn, it had helped them survive through a crisis.

Yan Guang could be said to be in complete admiration of Zhang Chao, and just with Zhang Chao's method of killing the demons, it made him worship him even more. Now, no matter what, he had to acknowledge Zhang Chao as his master and learn even more methods to deal with the darkness energy.

Zhang Chao felt a headache coming. No matter how he rejected, Yan Guang stuck to him like dog skin paste. In the end, he was helpless, and could only make other decisions after the other party agreed to find a safe place for them to stay first.

Xiao Qiang and Kang Min woke up a few hours later and had already returned to normal.

According to Zhang Chao's analysis, the two of them were indeed affected by the Origin Stealer's power, but there was also a trace of devil energy mixed within the power that corroded their minds.

However, demonic energy was completely insignificant to Zhang Chao. As the owner of the demonic energy, he had easily dispelled the remaining demonic energy in their bodies. This move made Yan Guang kneel on the spot, and no matter what, he would first offer his Master's tea.

After half a night of writing, Yan Guang was truly tired as well. He fell asleep on the chair just like that …

… ….

At this time, in a grand house in Cross Street, a skinny middle-aged man was reading a book at a table.

"My lord!" Subsequently, a man with squinty eyes ran in, battered and exhausted.

"Hmm? Back? "How about it?" The man raised his head and asked as he put down the book in his hand.

"We missed! Number 3 is dead!" The squinty-eyed man staggered a few steps and knelt on the ground as he spoke with a sorrowful expression.

"What?" Missed? Didn't that fellow take the imitation Sacred Ancestral Eyes with him? Could it be that they did not manage to fully utilize the Sacred Ancestor's power? " The middle-aged man's face went grim, and he abruptly stood up.

"No, he has already used it, but even so … We still couldn't kill the two dogs from the Holy Sphere of Light! " Narrowing his eyes, he bitterly said.

"I used it... "It didn't work either..." The middle-aged man was stunned. He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room with a gloomy expression.

"It shouldn't be. Are these two different from the past?" There are already three of them. My three generals have failed, but they still haven't been killed. In order to be absolutely safe, I even deliberately used the pseudo-sage Ancestor's eye.

After saying that, he stopped and raised his head to look outside the window. "What is the background of these two fellows? Could it be … Holy Sphere of Light has changed methods this time? "

With that, he took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and handed it to the squinty-eyed man, "However, if you can't destroy the target even after using the pseudo-sage's eye, then the information given by that guy must be fake. The target's ability must be far beyond what he can predict.

"What?" Lord, the Blood Slaughter Squad? This … That's not appropriate, is it? Should we wait for Fifth Uncle to come back before making our decision? " The squinty-eyed man's pupils shrank. He could not help but tremble as he received the piece of paper.

"Fifth Uncle?" "No need, he should be busy with more important things right now!" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If we can't do this little thing well, there's no need for us to live any longer!"

"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away!" The man with squinty eyes said goodbye and left...

… ….

At noon on the second day, in a luxurious tavern in the Cross Street, Zhang Chao and the other three were currently eating and drinking in a mess.

"Hmm? That's a beauty! " After eating his fill, the cockroach suddenly saw a middle-aged woman standing at the counter, calculating the debt. It couldn't help but lick its lips and run over with a giggle.

"Beauty? How could he tell? " Kang Min could not help but be startled, why is it that the woman's face is also normal, and she seems to be a little old?

"Ignore him. He probably lacked a mother's love since he was young. Furthermore, he has problems with his aesthetics and likes this kind of taste that is different from others!" Zhang Chao waved his hands, he had long since gotten used to Xiao Qiang's strange orientation.

"Speaking of beauties, those over there are the real ones!" Kang Min did not dare agree, and scanned her surroundings with her little eyes, suddenly locking on to a target.

At the other end of the tavern, there were a few noblewomen eating, talking and laughing.

To be honest, these girls looked pretty good, causing Kang Min to lick her lips and smile as she walked over …

"Why are all of them so virtuous?" Zhang Chao rolled his eyes and muttered unhappily.

"Ha, Master, your two brothers are really eccentric!" Yan Guang teased from the side.

"Scram! Who's your master? I didn't admit it, so don't yell at me!" Zhang Chao opened his eyes wide.

"Alright, alright, pretend I didn't say anything!" Yan Guang promptly swung his hands, then stood up: "Then I'll go and help you all investigate that Kang Ze's whereabouts!"

With that, he turned and left.

"Kang Ze …" Zhang Chao licked his lips.

This person was Kang Min's cousin, the number one expert of the Kang family, the son of the Kang Family Head!

If you find him, you can continue to search for the whereabouts of the Laoyue.

After all, he and Xiao Qiang were currently being watched by the demons, making it inconvenient for them to walk around everywhere. As for Kang Min and Kang, they were quite familiar with each other, so it was inconvenient for them to appear directly.

Therefore, leaving the matter of finding Kang Ze to this Yan Guang was the most suitable.

It could even be described as a fiery mess. The bustling customers constantly went in and out, and among the constantly coming customers, there was a pair of eyes that flickered with a cold light, as though they were hungry wolves deep in the mountains, staring at Zhang Chao.

"Hmm?" Zhang Chao seemed to have accidentally felt the pair of eyes, he stopped his movements and looked around the tavern, but the pair of eyes quietly disappeared within the crowd.

"En, an illusion, right?" Zhang Chao frowned, seeing Kang Min walking back with a dejected look, he could not help but smile: "What's wrong? You're back just like that? "

"Don't mention it, those two women are boring and they don't like men …" Really, this is too wasteful! " Kang Min curled her lips in displeasure.

"Right, where's the Xiao Qiang?" Kang Min raised her head and looked towards the direction that Xiao Qiang had gone, but she could no longer see Xiao Qiang, the middle-aged woman had also disappeared as well.

"Who knows? Don't worry about him. He probably hooked up with someone and will be back soon?" Zhang Chao curled his lips in disapproval.

At this moment, Xiao Qiang was walking into the tavern while scratching his head.

"Fuck, he actually thinks that I want to eat candy and brought me along to buy sugar. He treats me like a child, I really can't tolerate it!" As he walked, he grumbled in annoyance.

"Xiao Qiang, where are you going? "Let's go!" Suddenly, Zhang Chao's voice came from not too far away.

"Eh? Have you finished eating? "So fast?" Xiao Qiang turned his head to look at Zhang Chao, and could not help but be startled.

"En, I've finished eating!" Zhang Chao nodded.

"Oh? So fast? I thought you'd have to eat some more! " Xiao Qiang shrugged his shoulders and looked back and forth. "How long have you been out for? Oh right, where are Kang Min and Yan Guang? "

Zhang Chao rubbed his chin and said: "It's convenient for them, they will come out soon!" Saying that, he looked at Xiao Qiang strangely, "Let's go to the alley and wait there!"

"An alley?" Xiao Qiang hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Chao for a while, nodded his head and followed behind Zhang Chao, one in front and one behind, entering an alley not too far away.

This alley was very quiet, and no one came. It just happened to be the back door of the tavern.

"Back door?" Xiao Qiang was puzzled.

"Mm, they'll come out of here later!" Zhang Chao said casually.

Xiao Qiang suddenly slowed down his pace and asked with doubt, "I said, I didn't think that you would find the back door after just eating here!"

"Hmm? Ah... "Of course, just ask them and you'll know!" Zhang Chao had a strange expression as he hurriedly replied.

"That's true, but …" If you don't want to leave through the main entrance, why do you have to go through the back door? " Xiao Qiang became cautious as his hand started to silently reach for the dagger at his waist.

"It's closer to the latrine!" Zhang Chao turned his head and glared at Xiao Qiang, he was obviously annoyed and asked: Why are you asking so much?

"Ahhh, it's fine. Just drink a little and chat a bit. What are you so anxious for?" Xiao Qiang immediately laughed out loud, he slowly retracted his hand from his waist, thinking that it was true, the person in front of him was Zhang Chao, why did he suddenly feel so nervous?
