Chapter 16: Losing all conscience and eradicating the roots

Zhang Tai struggled painfully for a long time. What caused him pain was not only the wounds, but also the fear after losing his arms.

He didn't expect Chen Ze to be so decisive.

Without his arms, he became a complete invalid.

The arm that had been burned had disappeared without a trace, and the arm that had just been chopped off was right in front of him.

If he could get it back in time, maybe his hand could be saved.

Zhang Tai realized this, endured the pain in his arm, stopped shouting, and looked at Chen Ze with pleading eyes.

Chen Ze also saw Zhang Tai's eyes, "What? Can you talk properly now?"

Zhang Tai nodded hard.

Chen Ze knelt down, straightened Zhang Tai, pulled out the rag from his mouth, and threw it aside.

"Say it! Don't wait for me to ask. My patience is limited. You still have two legs to chop off."

Zhang Tai's heart trembled when he heard what Chen Ze said, "This man is simply a devil."

But he only dared to think about it in his heart, and immediately said: "I will say, I will say anything."

He has confirmed that Chen Ze is not just talking, he can really do it.

Then, Zhang Tai directly said a name, "It's Shopkeeper Tong. It was Shopkeeper Tong who asked us to arrest you."

"Shopkeeper Tong? Shopkeeper Tong of Tongfu Restaurant?"

Chen Ze was surprised when he heard the name. He never thought that shopkeeper Tong would target him.

At this time, Chen Ze finally had an impression of the person in front of him. He seemed to be one of the big men who came with shopkeeper Tong to collect debts that day.

In this way, the other big man who came to collect debt that day was one of the people he had killed.

Chen Ze asked doubtfully: "Didn't I already pay him back all the money I owed him? Why are you still coming to me?"

"He wants to capture you to go mining."

When Zhang Tai said this, Chen Ze immediately understood that everything was traceable.

Then, Zhang Tai told Chen Ze the cause and process of the incident.

The thing is also very simple. Shopkeeper Tong accidentally discovered a black iron mine.

Black iron ore is an essential material for making magic weapons. If you master a dark iron mine, you can earn a steady stream of spiritual stones.

As for the delicious cake of Xuantie Mine, shopkeeper Tong originally wanted to eat it by himself.

But he found that he was not strong enough, so he found a big family with whom he had good friends to mine secretly.

The less people know about this black iron mine, the more they make.

As a result, many people are less coveted, especially the City Lord's Mansion and several other families.

But mining requires manpower, and the ore being dug is not ordinary ore. Ordinary mortals cannot dig it, so they can only find immortal cultivators to dig it.

But when it comes to looking for immortal cultivators to dig mines, naturally you can't do it blatantly. If you do that, it will be a matter of time before the mine is exposed.

So Shopkeeper Tong and the family came up with this idea. As long as they were helpless casual cultivators, they would be their targets.

People will have desires, and they will lay all kinds of traps on these casual cultivators.

Lie to them that there is a good job to earn spiritual stones, or there are some opportunities, in short, use various methods to get people there first.

There are also people like Chen Ze who first let them owe a debt they can't afford to repay.

When the time comes to collect debts, tell them a job where they can earn a lot of spiritual stones.

It's the same as deceiving people, and those who have been deceived will never be able to do it again.

There are experts guarding there, and it is impossible to escape.

If you don't want to die, you can only keep mining, and Chen Ze happens to be this kind.

But they didn't expect that Chen Ze would return the spirit stone in the end.

But they won't let go of their favorite target easily.

They have already investigated people like Chen Ze very clearly.

His cultivation level is low, he has no backers, and no acquaintances.

Even if people like Chen Ze disappeared, no one would care.

So they prepared to use the last resort to knock him unconscious and take him away.

Just find a good opportunity and avoid being discovered.

Even if it is discovered, it will not be a big problem.

Just release the person you caught first and wait for the opportunity.

Zhang Tai and the others did this not once or twice.

I just didn't expect that this time I would hit Chen Ze.

"You know, I've already said it, can you spare my life?" Zhang Tai said begging.

Chen Ze shook his head, "Haha, in your opinion, human life is not as good as a dog. You have done so many bad things, and you even plotted against me. Do you think I still have a reason to let you live?"

"Be a good person in your next life!"

After saying that, Chen Ze raised his hand and struck with a knife. Knowing Zhang Tai, he didn't give Zhang Tai a chance to speak again.

Chen Ze took away all the items on Zhang Tai's body, and then threw another fireball.

Chen Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Tai's body, burning into ashes bit by bit.

"Shopkeeper Tong? If it weren't for the system that I created through time travel, the original owner would have been caught in the mine by now and started endless mining, and he would never be able to get ahead again in his life."

Chen Ze's eyes gradually became sharp, "You are all capable of doing such a heartless thing. Now that I have encountered it, I will naturally take care of it. Besides, it was you who found me first."

Chen Ze has already made a decision in his heart. Shopkeeper Tong has become the person he must kill.

The only blame was that Shopkeeper Tong had plotted against him, and now he and Shopkeeper Tong were at loggerheads.

It is necessary to root out the problem, otherwise Shopkeeper Tong will definitely come looking for him.

Shopkeeper Tong has already lost two of his subordinates at the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm at the hands of Chen Ze. The next time he comes looking for him, it will only be those with higher cultivation.

Zhang Tai's body has been reduced to ashes, but the property left by Zhang Tai was still collected by Chen Ze.

Chen Ze erased the restrictions on Zhang Tai's storage bag and then checked the items inside.

There are quite a few spirit stones in Zhang Tai's storage bag, a total of 200 spirit stones, and several bottles of elixirs.

It is indeed easy to make money from dirty money.

After Chen Ze packed up these things, his consciousness quickly entered the space of all things.

After arriving at the All Things Store, Chen Ze directly recovered all the elixirs and magic tools left by Zhang Tai and gave them to the green-robed woman.

Even the elixirs left by Wu Li last time were recovered. There are better ones waiting for him to exchange in the All Things Store.

Moreover, Chen Ze could not tell what elixirs Wu Li and Zhang Tai left behind, so he did not dare to eat them carelessly.

Chen Ze did not dare to use the other items they left behind casually, as it was very likely that others would find out.

After Chen Ze handed all the items to the green-robed woman for recycling, he gained a total of 200 points.

In addition to the remaining 23 spiritual stones from last time and the spoils of war obtained this time.

Chen Ze now has a total of 200 points, plus 223 low-grade spiritual stones.

Chen Ze looked at the harvest this time and was delighted, "I can buy things in the store again. What should I buy now!"

With money in his pocket, Chen Ze was also entangled all of a sudden.

There are too many good things in the store, and he wants them all.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ze decided to buy a clone first.

Opening the skill shopping interface, Chen Ze directly chose to buy a clone, consuming 100 points.

After the purchase, a phantom gradually condensed in front of Chen Ze's eyes.

Then, an interface appeared next to the black shadow.

"Hint: The clone can automatically generate its appearance according to the host's idea."

Seeing this hint, all kinds of characters suddenly appeared in Chen Ze's mind.

These characters were all seen by Chen Ze in novels or TV in his previous life, and they were all some faces portrayed in his memory.

"What should this first clone look like?"

Chen Ze was entangled for a while and couldn't make up his mind. There were really too many images that could be shaped.

After a while, Chen Ze made up his mind.

Slowly, the face and figure of the phantom began to solidify.

A figure that looked exactly like Chen Ze appeared, but the eyes of this clone were slightly dull.

"Could this clone be without intelligence? Why does it look dull?"

Chen Ze looked at the clone that looked very similar to him, and was puzzled.
