It was no coincidence that he came to this tavern. When passing by, Zi Chen felt an abnormal power fluctuation in the tavern, so he walked in out of curiosity.
Maybe others couldn't see anything unusual, but Zi Chen noticed the unstable aura of the shopkeeper the first time he saw him, and he must have been injured.
Combined with some words he heard later, he guessed that the shopkeeper was the person the Demon Snake Guard was looking for.
Only by refining magic power and becoming a demon can the other party get rid of this suspicion. Otherwise, as the shopkeeper said before, even if he is not the real murderer, the Demon Snake Guard will find him as the scapegoat.
Zi Chen has no intention of getting involved in this matter, and is unable to help. All he can do now is to use the power he got from Huadu to give the other party, which may save his life.
Once you are targeted for refining, it will be too late.
The shopkeeper watched Zi Chen leave with a somewhat complicated mood. Then he looked at the power again and said with a smile: "I thought he was a silly boy who has never seen the suffering in the world, but he turned out to be a hidden master. It seems that I
Yuan Hai made a mistake this time."
He picked up the power and looked at it carefully, "The old man said that if I miss Yuan Hai once, I will be close to death. If I saw it right this time, this should be a pure magic power from the Demon Snake Guard."
, only sold internally. Is he a leader of the Demonic Snake Guard? Is he here to recruit me this time? Or did he kill a Demonic Snake Guard and get this power?"
"But since my fate has been determined for a long time, I can't be a demon anymore. Not to mention that I can't overcome this hurdle in my heart, and Xiaoshan can't agree, right?"
Yuan Hai put away the power given by Zi Chen, then walked to the counter and took out a jar of wine from the secret compartment in the corner.
The wine was sealed with mud, and it was covered with dust. I don’t know how many years it had been stored.
"Xiaoshan, this was brewed and stored by your father when you were born. It comes from an ancient legend. It is said to come from the Holy Spirit Realm, which is the fundamental place for the survival of our Spiritual Race. The Spiritual Race living there are all like each other.
They are equal, just like the demons in this world. It is said that this wine is called Nuer Hong, which is stored on the day of the daughter's birth and can only be opened on the day of her wedding. Unfortunately, my father waited for hundreds of years and never saw that day."
Yuan Hai exerted his strength gently, ripples rippled, the mud seal fell off, and the aroma of wine hit his face.
"You guys wait patiently for dad over there. Dad will be there soon. If you don't drink this wine today, you won't be able to drink it again."
Yuan Hai picked up the wine jar and began to pour wine into his mouth. He did not drink it quickly, as if he was worried about spilling the wine.

Zi Chen left the tavern and walked leisurely, sometimes going to a shop and sometimes buying some street food.
Above the sky, two people stood, silently watching this scene.
In fact, they had already been standing here, looking down at the people entering and leaving the tavern.
Both of them were wearing cyan robes with black snake patterns embroidered on them. One of them was holding a black ball in his hand. The ball kept making ripples. The ripples did not spread, but merged with the surrounding space.
"Check out the person's background."
Watching Zi Chen leave, the person holding the ball said.
The other person just nodded without making any move, and said after a moment: "It is said that he was an outsider who had just come to the Demon City. He invited Yuan Hai to drink a few bottles of wine and asked some questions about the Spiritual Clan. Yuan Hai drank the wine and
I told him some stories about the Spirit Tribe, and it is said that the young man was quite emotional after listening to them. Yuan Hai only chatted a few more words and drank a few more bottles of wine, probably thinking that he was a fool.
."
"I didn't come earlier and I didn't come late. It's a coincidence that I came here at this time, right? Go check it out immediately. If there is anything suspicious, arrest him and interrogate him immediately."
"yes."
"Also, after dark, let people slowly close the net, but don't kill him immediately. Give him a chance to survive. This time, he must find his accomplices."
"yes!"

Zi Chen walked on the street, turning around leisurely, not knowing that his every move was being watched.
Although he stayed in Xiangmo City for a few days last time, Zi Chen stayed in the dilapidated room of the Lian family and did not go around the city.
During this period, his soul power was used to explore the surroundings and found some people who were extremely good at hiding and seemed to be looking for something.
In just three days, they searched Lian's home three times, but no one found Lian's home from beginning to end.
And these people never went to the room that he smashed and trampled from the beginning to the end, as if they concluded that no one else could be hiding there.
This time in the city, he wanted to take a closer look and see the differences in the world.
As for the coins to buy things, Zi Chen still has some on him, and Huaidu has accumulated them.
It was just that he left in a hurry, and Zi Chen regretted a little. He should have gone to the city lord's mansion for a walk, maybe he could gain something big.
Not long after walking, Zi Chen was in front of a stall, looking at some small items. He accidentally turned around and seemed to see a shadow disappearing from the corner.
His expression remained unchanged, he put down the objects in his hands and continued to walk forward.
During this period, his soul power came out and he carefully sensed the abnormalities around him.
After a while, he made a discovery.
"Being followed?"
Zi Chen looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. He decided to find a place to rest first and found a nearby inn.
As soon as it got dark, an army surrounded the street where Yuan Hai opened the tavern, and then slowly approached.
Martial law has been imposed all around.
Yuan Hai was sitting on the table, with a jar of wine beside him. Not a drop of wine was left in it, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of wine.
There were memories in his eyes, and his expressions were changing, some were happy, but more often they were painful.
"Come in directly, the door is not closed, what are you hesitating about?"
Raising his hand and throwing away the empty wine jar next to him, Yuan Hai stood up.
People hiding outside the door immediately swarmed in.
There was a huge boom!
The top of the tavern flew up and exploded in the sky, accompanied by figures flying upside down.
An aura belonging to the three-star Holy Spirit erupted. Yuan Hai raised his hand and a ray of Holy Spirit flew away. The bodies of dozens of demons who followed were split into two.
"What's the point of sending these ants? Just send your demon spirits out."
Yuan Hai moved forward, killing everyone in all directions, but showed no mercy, and the demon soldiers fell one after another.
At this moment, there were four drunken guys walking staggeringly on the nearby street.
Suddenly, a person fell from the sky and landed in front of them, startling the four of them.
The four people subconsciously wanted to curse, but after seeing the armor on the fallen man, their expressions changed.
They looked up at the sky.
I saw a person standing in the sky, killing everyone.
"That is……?"
Even in the dark night, the four of them could still see the man's face clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.
It turned out to be the shopkeeper named Yuan Hai. When did he become so powerful?
At this moment, Yuan Hai glanced at the four of them, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand, and a ray of light fell from the sky, covering the four people.
