Chapter 2154 - 2154: Right-Hand Man

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Cheng Xuanming, under the joint siege of Zho Zishi and Hei Lin, was unable to withstand their attack and spewed blood wildly from his mouth.

Cheng Xuanming was already advanced in age.

Now, with his anger consuming him, his emotions were extremely unstable, compounded by the ferocious onslaught of Zho Zishi and Hei Lin.

He naturally couldn't hold on.

"Clan Leader!"

Seeing Cheng Xuanming heavily injured and on the brink of danger, many Orange Frogs couldn't help but cry out in indignation.

Was their Orange Frog Clan truly going to perish today?

If Cheng Xuanming were to die, they would have no other possibility.

"Die!"

Zho Zishi was exceptionally ruthless, driving a fist directly into Cheng Xuanming's body while rapidly utilizing the Zen Heart Conversion Scripture.

The terrifying power of conversion surged into Cheng Xuanming's body, furiously extracting his strength, causing him to scream in agony.

Apprehension flickered in Hei Lin's eyes.

He could imagine how excruciating Cheng Xuanming's pain was at this moment.

In less than half a minute.

Cheng Xuanming's enormous body turned into a withered corpse, with all his power fully converted by Zho Zishi.

Feeling the surging power within him, Zho Zishi was extremely satisfied.

"If I could get a few more Daoist King realm Demon Beasts, I could become a two-star Daoist King."

A bloodthirsty gleam appeared on Zho Zishi's face.

Hei Lin laughed, "Deacon Zhoo, isn't this a simple matter? The clan leaders of the other six clans are all Daoist King level Demon Beasts; kill them all, and it's done."

These words not only filled the remaining Orange Frogs with rage, cursing Hei Lin.

Such a ruthless bastard, was he intending to destroy the entire Colorful Frog Clan with his own hands?

Zho Zishi squinted his eyes, clearly tempted by Hei Lin's words, but that was a matter for later; he chose not to dwell on it.

"Exterminate all the Orange Frogs, leave none alive, then clean up the battlefield."

Having the array covering the Black Frog Clan wasn't a long-term solution.

"Yes!"

Many Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples responded.

The situation of the Orange Frog Clan was irretrievable, and the remaining Orange Frogs were no longer a threat.

At this moment, Zho Zishi approached Qin Chen and smiled, "What's your name?"

Qin Chen replied, "In response to Deacon Zhoo, my name is 'Qin Ni'. I joined Zen Heart Dragon Palace just a few days ago."

When engaging in espionage, Qin Chen naturally wouldn't use his real name.

Zho Zishi nodded, "No wonder I haven't seen you before. You must have been dispatched from the headquarters, correct?"

As he said this, his pupils slightly contracted.

Qin Chen answered, "I came on my own accord."

Upon hearing this, Zho Zishi's face showed a satisfied smile. Seeing Zho Zishi's smile, Qin Chen knew that Zen Heart Dragon Palace hadn't actually sent anyone to Bahu Forest.

This guy had said it that way on purpose to test Qin Chen.

However, Qin Chen was equally cunning; his answer was impeccable, leaving Zho Zishi with nothing to nitpick.

"Before joining Zen Heart Dragon Palace, weren't you with Saber Saint Cliff?" Zho Zishi asked.

Qin Chen nodded, "Deacon Zhoo truly has a keen eye for talent. Indeed, I was a disciple at Saber Saint Cliff, training at the First Palace."

Given the formidable Sword Dao he exhibited earlier, it was only natural for Zho Zishi to assume he was from Saber Saint Cliff.

Qin Chen went along with it.

Striving not to reveal any flaws.

After all, in terms of Sword Dao, the first thing that came to mind for anyone in Qian State was Saber Saint Cliff.

Denying his identity as a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff might instead arouse Zho Zishi's suspicions.

This guy was probing Qin Chen with every word.

But upon reflection, Qin Chen found it normal.

Zho Zishi knew nothing about him, and to recruit someone as a confidant, one had to be completely trustworthy, hence the traps laid with every question.

Zho Zishi said, "With your strength, why have I never heard your name before?"

He feigned curiosity.

Qin Chen remained composed, "Now, Deacon Zhoo knows me, doesn't he?"

At these words, Zho Zishi immediately laughed, though what he was thinking remained unknown.

By now, the battle had ended.

The ground was littered with Orange Frog corpses.

Numerous Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples were taking the opportunity to collect the Frog Pearls from these Orange Frogs.

Zho Zishi's voice suddenly rose, "I have an announcement to make: from this day forward, Qin Ni will be my right-hand man. If I'm not present, his orders will be supreme."

Qin Chen was somewhat surprised; just moments ago he was being tested step by step, and now he's being appointed as the right-hand man?

The many Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples stared at Qin Chen, their eyes filled with various emotions, but no one spoke up in opposition.

Firstly, because the words were spoken by Zho Zishi himself.

Secondly, because the previous strike Qin Chen delivered against Cheng Xuanming was terrifying, proving his prowess.

At least among the Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples present, anyone daring to challenge Qin Chen would have to think three times before speaking.

"Didn't you hear?"

Zho Zishi's tone suddenly turned cold.

All the Zen Heart Dragon Palace Disciples instantly turned to Qin Chen and shouted, "Greetings to the right-hand man!"

Regardless of their willingness.

Nobody wanted to oppose Zho Zishi, unless they had a death wish.

With Zho Zishi's power, killing any of them present would be as easy as turning his hand.

Qin Chen nodded slightly in response.

At this moment, Zho Zishi suddenly beckoned someone over, and that person immediately ran up to him.

Zho Zishi did not shy away from Qin Chen and asked directly, "What's the situation with Jian Jia?"

The person immediately replied, "I sent someone to Orange Frog Lake, where they discovered a massive battle had occurred. It was undoubtedly a Daoist King-level battle; a Tribulation Transformation Realm couldn't cause such commotion."

"Ever since Deacon Jian Jia went to Orange Frog Lake, we've had no trace of him. I suspect..."

"You suspect Jian Jia is dead?!"

Zho Zishi stared intently at the person, his eyes narrowing instantly.

The person nodded, "Indeed, but it's just a conjecture."

Zho Zishi said, "If Jian Jia had already acquired the Orange Dao Heart, he would have returned by now, or at least gone straight to see Liuw Sang Dharma King. There wouldn't be complete silence from my side."

"Coupled with the battle you mentioned, it's not a conjecture anymore; Jian Jia must be dead."

The person was shocked, "Then who could possibly have killed Deacon Jian Jia?"

Zho Zishi snorted coldly, "Who else? In the entire Bahu Forest, only Tang Zhen has the capability. If my guess isn't wrong, the Orange Dao Heart should now be in Tang Zhen's hands."

The person's face changed, "What should we do? If Liuw Sang Dharma King finds out, he will surely be enraged."

Zho Zishi pondered for a moment, his gaze turning grim, "Find Tang Zhen's location, seize the Orange Dao Heart from him, and if possible, kill him."

The person looked at Zho Zishi in surprise, "Deacon Zhoo, Tang Zhen's power is not to be underestimated—how do we kill him?"

Even Qin Chen was quite taken aback, kill Tang Zhen?

Frankly speaking, with Zho Zishi's strength, if he were to face Tang Zhen, he might well become the second Jian Jia.
