Chapter 119: Green Faced Demon

After a while, Zhou Chen finished eating while also collecting a lot of information from Old Zhu. He suggested going out to buy the gifts. Then, when they were passing by an alley, Zhou Chen suddenly punched Old Zhu’s chest until it caved in, killing him on the spot.
‘Weak. I thought he had some skills.’
Zhou Chen was a little disappointed when he saw that Old Zhu did not drop anything. He began to search the man’s pocket.
Soon, he realized that the man did not have a single copper on him.
“F*ck, what a loss. I didn’t even get back the money I spent on treating him to wine and food.”
Zhou Chen immediately felt like he let himself be cheated for nothing. Apart from some information, he had gained nothing.
“Looks like I have to go to the south and choose some targets to hunt.”
At this moment, Zhou Chen already knew that there was a high chance that no one in Black Eagle Town practiced a high-grade cultivation technique. Even the cultivation technique that the leader of the Black Eagle Sect practiced was said to be a low-grade cultivation technique. His underlings would only be weaker.
“Speaking of which, Black Eagle Sect seems to be quite weak, so how were they able to occupy this town? Although this town is not large, it should still provide some benefits.”
Zhou Chen quickly left the alley where he threw Old Zhu’s corpse and passed through the streets, preparing to continue south.
His goal was very clear. He had to try his best to obtain good cultivation techniques. Since this place did not have any, he did not want to waste more time here.
As he was walking along the paved street, he sensed some unusual movements. He looked up and saw a few people in red robes leaping on roofs to the center of Black Eagle Town.
“There is such a clear path on the ground, but they just have to show off by moving on roofs?”
Zhou Chen was puzzled by their hurry, but the people on the street did not make a fuss. They only discussed slightly after they passed by.
“The people from Fire Cloud Valley are here again. They’re probably here to receive offerings from the Black Eagle Sect.”
“That’s right. Our town might as well be under the name of Fire Cloud Valley, so that there won’t be extra taxes.”
“Be careful with your words. Don’t let those men in black hear you.”
…
“Fire Cloud Valley is also a small sect nearby. However, they are stronger than the Black Eagle Sect. At the very least, killing their person dropped a low-grade cultivation technique.”
Zhou Chen had some understanding of Fire Cloud Valley, but he was not interested because their cultivation technique was low-grade.
“The Tyrant Fist Sect is said to be a medium-sized sect not far from here. Their cultivation techniques should be better.”
Zhou Chen’s tentative goal was to find the people of the Tyrant Fist Sect and see if there was a chance to make a move on them. Or, he would first inquire about their cultivation techniques to confirm if they were worth hunting.
“That place is neither far nor near. I have to rent a carriage.”
Considering that it was very exhausting to run all the way, Zhou Chen quickly found a coachman and told him that he wanted to go to the Tyrant Fist Sect.
“It’s getting dark. You have to pay more.”
The swarthy middle-aged driver immediately replied when he saw that Zhou Chen was in a hurry.
“Sure.”
Zhou Chen did not care. He had obtained a lot of silver pieces and an ingot through his previous kills.
Zhou Chen directly gave a silver piece; the swarthy middle-aged driver did not hesitate anymore and carried him out of Black Eagle Town, heading south.
The horse carriages in this world were not as comfortable as riding on cars. Zhou Chen jolted along the way and gradually fell asleep.
However, about three hours later, Zhou Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the driver drove the horse carriage away from the main road that led to the south and entered a small path to the west.
‘Is this a detour? But the path ahead is smooth, there’s no need to…’
Zhou Chen was immediately alert, but he did not raise any objections to the driver, because encountering some accidents was not a big deal to him. He might even make some unexpected gains.
Half an hour later, the coachman stopped at the foot of a mountain. He said that he was going to relieve himself and left the carriage.
However, Zhou Chen had already confirmed the abnormality in his surroundings. He directly broke out of the carriage and smashed the driver’s head with his palm.
[You have killed a Green Corpse Sect disciple. Reward: ‘Black Corpse Arts’]
“Green Corpse Sect… This guy is also from a sect? But judging from the feeling I got, he doesn’t seem to be any good. His reaction was not fast, and his head was not that hard either…”
Zhou Chen’s evaluation of this coachman was not much higher than those of the Black Eagle Sect. He felt that he had obtained another trashy cultivation technique.
He immediately opened the inventory space and took a look.
[Black Corpse Art
Type: Low-grade cultivation technique
Once you are initiated in this cultivation technique, you will awaken you to awaken Poison Elemental True Energy. At partial mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Expert. At full mastery, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Master.]
“What a good palm technique!”
At this moment, Zhou Chen heard a man’s voice coming from the mountain path beside him.
Zhou Chen was not surprised because he had discovered this person through the Bloodthirst passive skill a few seconds ago.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in green clothes and cloth shoes walk out of the mountain path. This man did not have eyebrows, his face had a green hue, and there were few strands of hair on his bald head. He looked rather old.
“Little brother, I see that your strength is astonishing but your moves are simple and crude. I wonder which sect you are from?”
The bald old man asked with a smile.
“Me? I’m from the System Sect.”
Zhou Chen replied calmly. At the same time, a bottle of potion appeared in his palm and he took a sip.
“System? Hehe, I’ve never heard of such a sect. Are you playing with me?”
The bald man frowned. His green face looked a little terrifying.
“Cut the nonsense. Are you going to fight or not?”
Zhou Chen was not afraid of this bald man’s threat at all. He looked at him and asked directly.
“Young man, don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you have some strength. It’s easy for me to take your life.”
The bald man was angry when he saw that Zhou Chen was not afraid of him at all. He said in a warning tone.
“I only wanted my disciple to bring some corpse refinement materials over, but I noticed that you’re a promising talent. Let me ask you, are you willing to be my disciple?”
“You want me to acknowledge you as my master?”
Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
“I won’t take a nameless person as my master. Tell me your name first.”
“Hehe.”
The corners of the old man’s mouth immediately curled up into a stiff arc.
“You might have heard of my name, Green Corpse Sect’s Elder, Green Faced Demon.”
When he said this name, his tone was a little arrogant, as if he was very famous..
