Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1132: Chapter 273: Elder Quan: Chen 94, Ah, Don’t (10,000 Words for a Monthly Ticket)_2

But at this moment, the two main culprits had already run into the nearby forest.

Huff, huff, huff...

The two were panting heavily when Mr. Zhang looked at Chen Jie ahead and said, ”Coyote, huff... stop running, they’re not following us.”

Chen Jie said, ”Huff... I’m exhausted to death.”

As he spoke, Chen Jie plopped down on the ground, and Mr. Zhang also sat down. The two exchanged a glance and then smiled at each other.

Chen Jie said, ”Mr. Zhang, what a calculation, hiding so deeply, sneaking into our Miao Territory, surely it’s to steal our sacred text, the ’Jiuli Demon Technique’?”

Mr. Zhang was taken aback, his expression changed as he said, ”Hehe, I originally thought we could coexist peacefully. I didn’t expect, Chen Jiusi, you’d insist on tearing off our last mask.”

Chen Jie was startled, then squinted his eyes and said, ”Chen Jiusi? Who’s that? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Mr. Zhang chuckled and said, ”Before you answer me, why don’t you touch the human skin mask on your face!”

Chen Jie was stunned, then reached up to touch his face, and instantly discovered that the human skin mask on his face had already split open.

When did this happen?

In the next instant, Chen Jie remembered, yes it was just now, when that Fire Snake spat a large ball of flames at him.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie shook his head with a wry smile and said, ”Hehe, Mr. Zhang, you truly have keen eyes.”

Saying this, Chen Jie directly tore the human skin mask off his face.

Mr. Zhang said, ”Even with keen eyes, I never thought you’d rely on disguise and transform into the appearance of Coyote. So the real Coyote, has something happened to him?”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”You guess?”

Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and said, ”If I were you, I wouldn’t let Coyote die so easily. After all, his value alive far exceeds his death.”

Chen Jie nodded lightly and said, ”Hmm, you’re really observant. However, when it comes to capabilities, Mr. Zhang, you’re still top-notch.”

”Hiding your name, coming here, serving as a slave, just to steal the sect’s demon technique, I have to say, Mr. Zhang’s patience and methods are unparalleled!”

Mr. Zhang said, ”Chen Brother, you’re flattering me. Born with a disadvantage, if one wants to make achievements, one must employ unconventional methods. Sorry for the embarrassment.”

”Not at all, not at all, to endure and adapt is what makes a true man. May I ask Mr. Zhang’s real name?”

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, ”Zhang Da!”

Chen Jie said, ”Mr. Zhang, given the circumstances, isn’t it meaningless not to reveal your true identity?”

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang said, ”Hehe, Chen Jiusi, in Jianghu, having multiple aliases means more ways to live, right?”

Chen Jie nodded and said, ”Indeed. By the way, is Mr. Zhang from Suzhou?”

Mr. Zhang said, ”Sort of.”

Chen Jie said, ”But I hear a bit of Taizhou accent in Mr. Zhang’s speech.”

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly and said, ”You can even tell that.”

Chen Jie said, ”Hehe, you’re not denying it? Then let me guess again: a man of principle never changes his name or surname. Since your actions aren’t upright, it should be an alias. However, the surname may not be fake, yet not wholly true either, making it harder to figure out.”

”If I’m not mistaken, among those surnamed Zhang in Taizhou, I know of a hero.”

Mr. Zhang squinted his eyes at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said, ”The surname Zhang, someone named Zhang Jiusi, later changed his name to Zhang Shicheng, is the Gang Leader of Taizhou Salt Guild. I wonder if Mr. Zhang knows him?”

Chen Jie squinted his eyes at Mr. Zhang.

It was apparent that Mr. Zhang showed a trace of unease.

At this moment, Chen Jie chuckled and said, ”Mr. Zhang wouldn’t happen to be that Zhang Shicheng, would you?”

Mr. Zhang stood silently, and Chen Jie confirmed that this guy was indeed Zhang Shicheng.

At this point, Zhang Shicheng slowly stood up, looked at Chen Jie, and said, ”Chen Brother, we’ve talked enough. As for my identity, hehe, it doesn’t matter. What matters is, now that Wu Mu’s Legacy is in your hands, could you lend it to me for a quarter-hour? I promise to return it to you thereafter.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie squinted his eyes at Zhang Shicheng, raising the Wu Mu’s Legacy in his hand, and said, ”Hehe, wanting it, no way, I can’t give it to you. I risked my life to get this. But we can trade; you transcribe the ’Jiuli Demon Technique’ for me, and I’ll give it to you, how about it?”

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng squinted his eyes and remained silent.

Chen Jie also remained silent, but after a moment, Zhang Shicheng suddenly smirked and said, ”Then you let me see Wu Mu’s Legacy first.”

Chen Jie said, ”No, you transcribe first.”

Zhang Shicheng said, ”Fine, I’ll transcribe first. Watch carefully...”

As Zhang Shicheng said this, he reached down to pick up a branch from the ground and started writing four big characters on the ground: [Jiuli Demon Technique]

Seeing these characters, Chen Jie immediately became engrossed.

However, at that moment, a sudden sense of impending danger struck Chen Jie, making his scalp tingle!

He thought to himself, not good.

Chen Jie immediately performed the Smoke Step, his body disappearing ghost-like from the spot, reappearing a short distance away in moments.

At this point, Chen Jie stood there, his gaze full of vigilance.

And just then, a person dashed through where Chen Jie had been standing moments earlier.

”Chen Jiusi, prepare to die!”

With a loud shout, Chen Jie turned to see Elder Quan attacking from the side.

Chen Jie dodged Elder Quan, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, someone suddenly thrust a branch towards his throat.

Chen Jie was startled, took two steps back, and avoided the strike.

At the same time, he swung the Miao Blade in his hand, slashing at the assailant.

Slash!

The Miao Blade shot out a blade light, slicing the branch in half.

At the same time, Chen Jie saw that the attacker was actually Zhang Shicheng, who, along with Elder Quan, surrounded Chen Jie.
