After that, Chen Zhou felt that he had been tricked.
A thick hemp rope tightly wrapped Chen Zhou up, trapping him and rendering him unable to move.
However, this hemp rope could not restrain Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou only needed to use his heavy-bladed sword to easily break through it and escape.
However, Chen Zhou did not make that choice immediately; he wanted to see who this person really was.
If he were to break through immediately, that person probably wouldn't show up. The enemy is currently in the shadows, while Chen Zhou is in the open. Chen Zhou must pretend he can't break through. At this moment, Chen Zhou immediately concealed his true energy. Anyone whose cultivation level is no more than three levels below Chen Zhou's wouldn't be able to detect the fluctuations in his true energy.
Because Chen Zhou possesses the original truth.
The Primordial Truth can greatly enhance Chen Zhou's true energy power, and at the same time, it can also improve the characteristics of Chen Zhou's true energy, such as the current true energy concealment and restraint of Chen Zhou's aura. This is all thanks to the Primordial Truth.
Chen Zhou has not yet fully explored the skills of the Primordial Truth, but he is not in a hurry. At present, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot unleash the true power of the Primordial Truth, which is normal.
"Who goes there?" Chen Zhou asked softly, gripping the coarse linen with both hands, pretending that he couldn't get out.
"We'd like to ask you who you are and what you're doing trespassing into our Sulong Mountain?" A strong male voice rang out. Chen Zhou immediately turned his head to look around, but he couldn't see anyone. The person still hadn't come out.
Why is the person trapped here and not coming out? They're being way too vigilant.
"I was just passing by," Chen Zhou said innocently. He clearly only wanted to pass through here, so why did these people always think the worst of him?
"Who would believe you? I've seen plenty of people like you; you're nothing more than someone who wants to steal the true teachings of our Su Long Sect. You little thief, I advise you to give up on that idea, turn back immediately, and don't go any further!"
The male voice came again.
The Sulong Cult?
"Brother, I really didn't mean anything by it! I was just passing by. I don't even know what the Su Long Sect is. Why do you always think the worst of us poor passersby?" Chen Zhou said with a mournful face.
The tough-looking man was stunned. What was going on? He had been stopping passersby in this area for years, and this was the first time he had encountered someone so adamant about being a passerby. For a moment, the man didn't know what to do.
So the man had no choice but to say, "This road is blocked. Please take the main road."
"Brother, I'm just passing through. I promise I won't enter your tribe. I'm just passing through," Chen Zhou continued helplessly. He had absolutely no such intentions! What's wrong with this guy?!
Chen Zhou deliberately emphasized "I was just passing by" several times, indicating that he had already made his way here and would definitely not agree to turn back now.
If this man's attitude is tough, Chen Zhou will have no choice but to force his way in. Chen Zhou doesn't believe that there could be a Golden Core stage guard here.
With Chen Zhou's current strength, aside from those in the Golden Core stage, he has never truly feared anyone.
"You don't have a trace of true qi, so why did you choose to take such a dangerous mountain path? Who exactly are you? Are you just a passerby? Isn't the Great Dao safer than this?" The man's voice came again.
Chen Zhou shook his head heavily and said, "There are too many bandits on the main road. I'm afraid of bandits. I'm just a small merchant who wants to live longer! Is that wrong?! I walked the mountain path and wasn't attacked by any spirit beasts. I never expected that the first person to attack me would be a human. It really chills me to the bone."
Chen Zhou continued, trying to persuade the man from the perspective of human righteousness.
This man might have a soft heart and let him go.
"No, my Su Long Sect has been attacked by you outsiders many times. You are no longer worthy of my trust. Even though you are just a small merchant, please turn around and leave." The man said firmly, showing no intention of discussing it with Chen Zhou.
"Is there absolutely no room for maneuver?" Chen Zhou asked tentatively, knowing that he would have no choice but to get serious.
