The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai walked down slowly and saw Xiao Chen coming towards him at a glance.

He was startled for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his dry old face.

"Amitabha, Mr. Xiao, I hope you are well."

"Amitabha, hello, Master."

Xiao Chen also smiled, clasped his hands together, and greeted Zhao Rulai.

“…”

Not far away, the waiter and others looked at the two people with smiles on their faces and curled their lips.

If they remembered correctly, not long ago, Zhao Rulai had snatched Xiao Chen's knife, right?

In addition, they also knew about the incident on the pedestrian street, and Zhao Rulai also injured Xiao Chen.

But this... why is there no hostility at all, it's like meeting old friends?

Could this be the legendary smiling on the outside but looking sorry in the heart?

Old Long, who came down with the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, also had his eyelids twitching slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Master Xiao, looking at the ancient martial arts world today, there are not many people who can make it onto the Tianjiao list in one leap."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.

"Oh? Aren't there many people who can make it onto the Tianjiao Ranking?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

"Haha, it's easy to get on the Tianjiao list, but it's hard to get into the top ten... Mr. Xiao made a stunning debut and entered the tenth place, congratulations."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chuckled.

"Only the tenth?"

Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. He didn't pay much attention to these things, but he thought that he had to be in the top three at least!

“…”

Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and others all looked a little strange.

In the entire ancient martial arts world, for so many families and sects, and so many young people, it is already extremely rare to be able to enter the list of geniuses!

The top thirty are all geniuses in every big family and sect, and they are the disciples who are trained as the focus!

The top twenty are even more amazing, and are basically the most powerful young people in the surrounding area.

Among the top ten, each one spans one or two provinces, and they are hard to rival!

"Master Xiao, how old are you this year? Are you thirty?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

“…”

Xiao Chen looked at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, thought for a while, and decided to forget it. He couldn't beat him, so he decided not to do it.

"What's wrong?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Chen staring at him. Did he say anything wrong?

"Master, do I look old?"

Xiao Chen said faintly.

“…”

The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was startled.

"I'm only eighteen... there's no need to worry about looking like I'm thirty, right?

Xiao Chen said again.

"eighteen?"

The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.

If Xiao Chen is really eighteen years old, then he is ready to snatch someone away!

An eighteen-year-old ranked in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, what does this mean?

Not only him, but also those big sects and big families in the ancient martial arts world would be eager to snatch people away!

"Well, saying eighteen is a bit pretentious, but twenty-five is the truth."

Xiao Chen coughed dryly.

"Twenty-five..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was a little surprised. This age is very young even among those listed in the Tianjiao List!

"The top ten... how is this list of geniuses ranked?"

Xiao Chen still felt aggrieved.

"Strength, in the ancient martial arts world, strength is everything... After the age of thirty-five, you will automatically disappear from the Tianjiao Ranking."

The person who spoke was Elder Long, and he was also optimistic about Xiao Chen.

"That's right, you are now... the Great Perfection of Dark Energy, right?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"no."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"no?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai had fought with Xiao Chen before and knew his fighting ability. He should be at the great perfection of dark energy and could even fight against someone at the early stage of transformation energy.

Therefore, he still had a very high opinion of Xiao Chen's combat ability.

There are not many people in the entire ancient martial arts world who can fight against masters of the dark energy realm and the transformation energy realm!

"Well, actually I am at the peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy."

Xiao Chen smiled, feeling somewhat proud.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was shocked. The peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy?

Then, he swung his sleeves, and his right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Xiao Chen's wrist.

Xiao Chen was slightly startled and subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, his ancient martial arts skills were running wildly and he slapped back with his hand.

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai raised his white eyebrows, and with his right hand in the shape of a claw, he grabbed Xiao Chen's right hand.

Xiao Chen wanted to dodge, but he was still a step too late. After all, his strength was no match for the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.

Even if he wanted to break free, he couldn't do it.

Beside them, Xiao Er and others were also shocked, not understanding why the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai would suddenly attack Xiao Chen.

Ding!

Dapang even pulled out a big kitchen knife. Only after he pulled it out did he react and felt very embarrassed.

He is facing one of the top masters in the ancient martial arts world, the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai!

If I rush forward, I think he can be crushed to death with just one finger!

Old Long's eyes flashed, and he shook his head at Dapang and others, indicating that they don't need to be nervous.

The Ghost Buddha pinched Xiao Chen's wrist, his expression changing continuously.

Xiao Chen also relaxed. He understood what the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was going to do.

Swish!

Just as Xiao Chen was about to smile, a green shadow came from the second floor at an extremely fast speed, and in a flash, it arrived in front of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.

"Old monk, dare you touch my second brother?"

Along with the green shadow, Nie Jingfeng's angry roar also sounded, and he punched the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai frowned slightly and took two steps back, but his hand never let go of Xiao Chen's wrist.

"Brother, don't get excited..."

Xiao Chen was moved and spoke quickly.

The green shadow landed on the ground, and Nie Jingfeng was dressed in green, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"Let my second brother go!"

Nie Jingfeng looked at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and said coldly.

"Donor Nie, don't get excited. I just want to see... your second brother's realm."

Even the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's mouth twitched a few times. How come these two became sworn brothers?

You know, Nie Jingfeng has a very high seniority in the ancient martial arts world!

If it were Nie Jingfeng's point of view, Xiao Chen, this rising star, would probably be called "senior" by many people.

"My second brother's realm?"

Nie Jingfeng frowned.

"Um."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded and looked at Xiao Chen deeply.

"It's really the peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy."

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"It seems that you are at the peak of the middle stage of Dark Energy and can exert the power of Dark Energy Great Perfection to fight against a master of Transformation Energy. Based on this, you should be ranked tenth on the Tianjiao List."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said slowly.

"Haha, I also think it shouldn't be tenth. At least get into the top three."

Xiao Chen grinned.

The Ghost Buddha looked at Xiao Chen, glanced at Nie Jingfeng, and gave up some of the thoughts.

Furthermore, although Long Zhuifeng did not reveal Xiao Chen's background, he still vaguely guessed that Xiao Chen was definitely not from the Xiao family.

Because Xiao Chen left the Xiao family many years ago.

If he was just a casual cultivator, how could he have grown to such a level?

He even let Long Zhuifeng treat him as his junior, and Nie Jingfeng was even more exaggerated and directly became his sworn brother!

All these made the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai have some guesses.

"Perhaps, there is a place for you in the top three."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chuckled and his eyes fell on the black plastic bag in Xiao Chen's hand.

He just noticed this black plastic bag, and there seemed to be some kind of fluctuation coming out of it.

However, he quickly looked away, thinking it shouldn't be the Xuanyuan Sword.

That’s right, he felt that the Xuanyuan Sword was not taken away by the Japanese!

If nothing else, with Long Zhuifeng and the others around, would the knife be taken away?

So, he came to visit Long Zhuifeng today.

Xiao Chen noticed the gaze of Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and raised the black plastic bag in his hand.

"Master, are you interested in this?"

"Haha, it shouldn't be the Xuanyuan Sword."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chuckled.

"Recently, I am preparing to sail to the island country in the east. Is Mr. Xiao interested in joining me?"

Xiao Chen's eyelids jumped when he heard the words of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai. This old monk was indeed suspicious!

"Master, I will definitely go to the island country, but I have something else to do, so I won't go with you... Besides, if I go with you, even if I really get the Xuanyuan Blade, I probably won't have much to do."

"Haha, okay, then I'll go first."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded.

"Amitabha, Donor Nie, Donor Long, I am leaving now."

"Um."

Old Long nodded, while Nie Jingfeng ignored the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.

"Master Xiao, goodbye."

After saying something to Xiao Chen, the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai slowly left, spinning the steel beads.

Xiao Chen looked at the back of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and narrowed his eyes. This old monk is very scary!

"Mr. Long, why is he here?"

"Let's go up and talk."

After saying this, Mr. Long turned and walked upstairs.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded and followed behind.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

Nie Jingfeng looked at Xiao Chen and asked curiously.

"Old Long gave me a call and asked me to come over."

Xiao Chen said.

"Hmm? Did Junior Brother call you? Did he tell you?"

Nie Jingfeng felt a little strange.

"What?"

Xiao Chen was stunned.

"I'm going on a long journey."

Nie Jingfeng smiled.

“Maybe I won’t be back in a short time.”

"Going away? What are you going for?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

“Looking for opportunities for breakthroughs.”

Nie Jingfeng said with a smile.

"Oh? Brother, do you need me to do something?"

Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.

"No, I can only rely on myself."

Nie Jingfeng shook his head and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder.

"Wait until Big Brother breaks through, and I'll see who dares to bully you again!"

Hearing Nie Jingfeng's words, Xiao Chen was touched. He is really a real brother!

As he spoke, he came to Mr. Long's room.

"Sit down."

Elder Long sat down and said to Xiao Chen.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded and took the black blood wand out of the black plastic bag.

"Master Long, this is the Black Blood Wand."

As he spoke, he handed the Black Blood Wand to Elder Long.

Old Long had a strange look on his face. One of the most valuable treasures of the Dark Church was just put into a plastic bag like that?

If the people of the Dark Church knew about this, they would probably go crazy!

He took the black blood wand, focused his mind, and felt it carefully.

When his inner strength poured into the Black Blood Wand, the blood-red stone on it began to glow with an eerie light.

When Old Long's gaze touched him, his expression changed slightly, and he actually felt as if his mind was being sucked in!

"It is indeed a treasure of the Dark Church..."

Xiao Chen also noticed the changes in the Black Blood Wand and was a little surprised. He had been studying it for quite a long time, but why hadn't he seen such changes?
