Chapter 406: Prelude
Seeing Chen Cheng's reaction so fiercely, Zhan Chen knew that he still had scruples in his heart, so he said: "Chen Cheng, don't be nervous, the reason why I chose the top private room of this restaurant is so that the conversation between us can be secret, although you can speak freely here, say what you want to say, to be honest, these news are also very important to me."

Chen Cheng pondered for a while before making up his mind, and said, "Okay, Senior Xu, it's rare that you took the trouble to invite us to enjoy this delicious meal with wine, and today I will tell you everything I know." ”
"Great! Let's talk about the city lord of Black Ye City first. Zhan Chen asked anxiously.
"Speaking of the city lord of Heiye City, her name is Yin Meiru, but I have ever seen the most beautiful woman in the world, legend has it that as long as she is willing, no man can resist her beauty, as long as she asks, no man will not promise to do so. ”
Zhan Chen couldn't help but nodded, although Chen Cheng's words were a bit excessive, but it was not far from the truth, few men could resist her temptation.
"Sixty years ago, this woman came to this Black Ye City alone with her son, and was inadvertently seen by Zhou Shixun, the former city lord of Black Ye City, that Zhou Shixun was immediately shocked when he saw Yin Meiru, and immediately proposed to her, and that Yin Meiru also agreed on the spot, and the two held a grand wedding, which caused a sensation in several nearby giant cities at that time. ”
Hearing this, Zhan Chen's fists clenched tightly, and he muttered: "This, this is impossible, how can Yin Meiru marry other men?"
This sentence was heard by Chen Cheng, and he said: "Senior Xu, you guessed it is not bad at all." This woman is really not simple, she just pretended to marry Zhou Shixun, but after marriage, she found all kinds of reasons to avoid him and didn't let her move herself; on the other hand, she used her beauty to confuse the deputy city lord Shen Yunfei, although Shen Yunfei's strength was not as strong as Zhou Shixun, but he also had the cultivation of the Martial Saint Dajing, so the two were embarrassed and conspired to kill Zhou Shixun. From then on, Yin Meiru ascended to the sky in one step and sat on the throne of the city lord, while Shen Yunfei continued to serve as the deputy city lord to assist her in ruling Heiye City. ”
In order to seal everyone's mouths and prevent the truth from leaking, Yin Meiru and Shen Yunfei adopted a high-pressure policy and arrested all the people who discussed the matter, and many people were executed because of this. ”
Although the situation has been calmed down, the high-pressure policy of Heiye City has not relaxed in the slightest, and the city's garrison army still often patrols the city and arrests people everywhere. So now on the streets, everyone will try to be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to let those cannibals get the handle. ”
After listening to Chen Cheng's narration, Zhan Chen basically had a general understanding of the whole incident, Yin Meiru was a demon cultivator herself, and it seemed reasonable that she had committed a lot of crimes.
However, at this moment, Zhan Chen felt that he was guilty, because he had already regarded Yin Meiru as his own woman, his own woman used despicable means to seek power and kill, which was equivalent to committing a crime by himself, and all this cause and effect had to be borne by himself in the end.
"Mei'er, no matter what, this time, I must bring you back, I can't let you act so recklessly!" Zhan Chen secretly made up his mind.
So he asked Chen Cheng again: "So, do you know how many Martial Saint-level masters there are in the City Lord's Mansion now?"
"In addition to the Yin City Lord, there are a full thirteen, and the highest cultivation is naturally Shen Yunfei, the Martial Saint Great Perfection powerhouse, but it is said that the Yin City Lord is extremely strong, with the ability to challenge beyond the level, even Shen Yunfei is not her opponent, in addition, there are two Martial Saint high-level powerhouses, four Martial Saint middle-level powerhouses, and six Martial Saint beginner-level powerhouses, all of these people are demon cultivators who kill people without blinking, and many innocent people have been tortured to death by them, or become the material for them to refine the blood pill. ”
"Has the City Lord's Mansion become a place to hide filth and filth? In this way, I can let go of my hands and feet to fight, and leave no of those harmful things behind!" A gleam flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he had already made a decision......
Just as Zhan Chen and the two were eating and talking, a dispute was also being staged in the City Lord's Mansion of Heiye City, and the protagonists of the story were Yin Meiru and Shen Yunfei.
At this moment, Yin Meiru was sitting high on the dragon chair in the center of the hall, looking down at Shen Yunfei below, and beside her stood an expressionless Zhou Ziru.
Shen Yunfei was below, looking up at her, and there was still a trace of covetousness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
I only heard Yin Meiru say domineeringly at Shen Yunfei: "Yunfei, I've said it a few times, don't talk about the two of us!"
Shen Yunfei said excitedly: "Mei'er, have you forgotten the alliance we made at the beginning? You once said how much you want to be with me-"
"Shen Yunfei!" Yin Meiru interrupted him and said, "Why don't I remember saying such things to you?" you helped me get rid of Zhou Shixun, and I retained your position as the deputy city lord, you should be grateful to Dai De." ”
"No, you know it's not what I want, it's you who I want!" Shen Yunfei stared at her and yelled.
A hint of banter flashed in Yin Meiru's eyes, and she laughed: "You can't even beat me, can you expect me to like you?" If you can be as potential as Leng Wuxin, maybe I will still like you, but unfortunately your potential has been exhausted. ”
"Leng Wuxin!" Shen Yunfei glared fiercely at the black-clad and expressionless young man beside Yin Meiru, full of jealousy and hatred.
Zhou Ziru gave him a fearless look, his eyes were full of waves, and he was so cold that he could freeze people's souls.
If Zhan Chen was on top of this hall at this time, he would definitely be shocked to find that his brother Zhou Ziru's cultivation had reached the high level of Martial Saint, and this was only twenty-five years later!
"Hahaha, Shen Yunfei, you must be jealous of Leng Wuxin's current achievements, his martial arts are now about to surpass you, and in a short time, I'm afraid even your position as deputy city lord will be surrendered. Yin Meiru stimulated him again.
"I'm not reconciled, at the beginning, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have assassinated Zhou Shixun, and now you just threw me away after using me, and I was stupid to work for you, in the end, I didn't get anything!"
"Shen Yunfei, I can only say that you and I are using each other, in fact, you have long been dissatisfied with Zhou Shixun, but you can't kill him with your strength at all, fortunately, I helped you at the critical moment, what else do you have to say now?" Yin Meiru asked rhetorically.
Shen Yunfei was short of words for a while, and finally had to snort coldly, turned around and left the hall alone.
Looking at the back of the departing, Yin Meiru sneered: "Leng Wuxin, this man's potential has been exhausted, and letting him exist any longer will only be a stumbling block for you, you find a chance to get rid of him! ”
"Yes!" Zhou Ziru replied, but a careful person will find that in the depths of his indifferent eyes, a faint sadness flashed: "Yes, no matter how strong your strength is, no matter how high your status is, what can you do? The woman in front of her will not open her heart for herself after all, because there will only be one man in her heart, and there will always be only one! In her eyes, all other men are just tools that can be used and are being used." ”
As Yin Meiru's personal guard, he knows best, how many days and nights, she locked herself in an empty room alone, just looking at a piece of jade pendant, and her eyes were full of nostalgic tenderness and sweetness, which Zhou Ziru had never seen elsewhere.
Later, one time, he finally learned from Yin Ha that the jade pendant was the last token his father left to her mother......
"Zhan Chen! Where are you, come out, I'm going to wipe you out completely! So that Mei Ru's heart can hold me!" Zhou Ziru's heart was screaming angrily, and the sorrow in his eyes turned into a flame of resentment, and at this moment Zhou Ziru's eyes were burning......
As night fell, Zhan Chen wore a black cloak to cover his face, and quietly came to the central square of the city.
The average cultivation of these soldiers is above the Martial Emperor, and there are even Martial Saint powerhouses who lead the team. As soon as they detect a threat approaching, they raise their butcher knives and wipe out all threats.
In the center of those elite soldiers' guards, there is the magnificent City Lord's Mansion, the luxury of the City Lord's Mansion of Heiye City is no less than that of Zhongyu City, among which there are hundreds of tall buildings, each of which is beautifully built, and there are pavilions and water pavilions connected between buildings, which is extremely luxurious.
At this time, when the lights are on, the city lord's mansion is also brightly lit, and the moonlight complements each other, which is desirable.
However, Zhan Chen deeply understood how many dangers were hidden under this gem, there were as many as thirteen Martial Saint-level powerhouses that he had to face alone, and there were seven people whose cultivation was equal to or above him. In the end, he has to face Yin Meiru.
"The most intractable enemy, Shen Yunfei, deserves it, and Zhou Ziru - he will definitely become an obstacle to me. As soon as he thought of Zhou Ziru, Zhan Chen sighed, the brother of the past, the enemy of today.
Although he instinctively refused to meet Zhou Ziru, however, if he wanted to bring back his wife and children, Zhou Ziru became a threshold that he had to cross, and the other party would inevitably stop him at that time.
"It seems quite unwise to break into the City Lord's Mansion directly from the gate, it's better for me to sneak in, to deal with these demonic cultivators with beast hearts and faces, I don't need to pay attention to fair and honest means!" Zhan Chen thought about it for a while, and then decided on his way of action.
At this time, a group of guards had just walked by, leaving a gap. A glint flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he immediately launched a light-chasing step under his feet, turned into a gust of wind, rushed to the front of the city wall at great speed, and jumped into the high wall.
