More than ten minutes later, the group left the inn and headed for the City Lord's Mansion.
"There are still quite a few people staring at you, Brother Chen."
Zhao Ritian looked around and said.
"When I went in just now, I found the secret sentry."
"Haha, that's normal. Not everyone has given up."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't care.
"But I've already had a falling out with Gongsun Zhen today, so when I'm in a bad mood, I'll kill everyone he sent to keep an eye on me."
"Brother Chen, I don't believe what that old guy said anyway. How could you be from the Shengtian Sect?"
Zhao Yuanji looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Whoever is from the Holy Heaven Sect will be struck by lightning."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"But this old fellow dared to say that I was from the Holy Heaven Sect, which means that his murderous intention towards me is even stronger. He wants to send me to a place of no return."
"That's right. We still need to be more careful next time."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"If you can leave Sifang City, you should try to leave."
"No, I don't plan to leave in the short term."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Is it because of the storage device? I can leave with you and refine it for you."
Zhao Ritian said.
"My fourth brother has agreed to let me take Xiao Ji out for training."
"It's not just because of the storage device, but if I leave, wouldn't that confirm my identity as a Holy Heaven Sect? I want to see what tricks this old guy can come up with next."
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Also, I also want to know what the Holy Heaven Sect is going to do in Sifang City."
He was still quite curious about the purpose of the Holy Heaven Sect.
He felt that ordinary things would probably not be able to attract the Shengtian Sect.
Others don’t know, but he knows... The Holy Heaven Sect has come to Sifang City, but has not done anything yet.
Outsiders thought that things like murder and arson were committed by the Shengtian Sect, but in fact they were all done by him.
"I don't agree with Brother Chen leaving either. Leaving like this seems like a desperate escape."
Zhao Yuanji said.
"If Brother Chen is weak, then it's nothing...Brother Chen is so strong, there's no need for him to be afraid of Old Dog Gongsun."
"Shanhai Tower is one of the four factions, and it is the second-tier power... The most threatening one is not only Gongsun Zhen, but Shanhai Tower."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"Gongsun Zhen feels he is not sure of taking down Brother Chen, so he will definitely ask someone to help... I think it won't be long before a stronger person descends on Sifang City."
"Isn't it here yet? Haha, we will stop the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Even if I leave Sifang City, I will go to Xuanyuan Realm next... By then, I will inevitably face Shanhai Tower again."
"Too."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"I heard from Fourth Brother that they are going to Xuanyuan Realm next."
"So, there's no need to worry too much."
Xiao Chen looked relaxed.
"Whoever wants to take advantage of me will have to pay the price... Even on the second floor."
The four of them were talking as they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering, I saw Zhao Cangqiong, Lu Hongyun, and Li Xiunian chatting.
Lu Wudi was sitting nearby feeling somewhat bored, but his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Chen and the others arriving.
"Meet City Lord Zhao, Senior Lu, and President Li..."
Xiao Chen greeted him and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Hehe, please sit down."
Zhao Cangqiong's face was full of smiles.
"We were just talking about you. I heard that your reputation has spread beyond Sifang City... In this afternoon, several old friends have asked me about you."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen smiled. Has his fame spread?
Although he was already prepared, he felt more reassuring after hearing what Zhao Cangqiong said.
"Now that Qing Yunzi and the others are not making much noise, you can be said to be the most popular genius in recent times."
Lu Hongyun said.
"Now, even Wudi has become your foil."
“…”
Lu Wudi's face turned dark. If you want to praise Xiao Chen, just praise him. Why do you have to bring me along?
"Haha, Brother Wudi is also very strong. I just won by a small margin."
Xiao Chen looked at Lu Wudi and smiled.
"If you lose, you lose..."
Lu Wudi curled his lips. It was indeed a move...that move could take his life.
"Hahaha, looking at them, I really feel old."
Zhao Cangqiong laughed loudly, feeling somewhat emotional.
"When we were at this age, we were far inferior to them."
"Um."
Li Xiunian nodded.
"In recent years, more and more young people have risen up."
While they were chatting, someone came in and reported that the dinner was ready.
"Since you are ready, please come."
Zhao Cangqiong stood up and made a 'please' gesture.
"please."
Everyone nodded and went to the banquet hall together.
Arriving at the banquet hall, everyone took their seats and the dinner began.
"There aren't many people here today. Everyone here is my friend."
As the host, Zhao Cangqiong couldn't help but say a few words to set the tone for the dinner.
"Haha, if they weren't all friends, I wouldn't have come."
Lu Hongyun smiled. With his temper, he would definitely not sit with someone he didn't get along with.
He is not Li Xiunian, the latter is a businessman who smiles at everyone he meets and is very good at dealing with people.
Everyone was chatting and drinking, and the dinner began.
Inevitably, we talked about the Shengtian Sect.
Zhao Cangqiong said seriously, "It is certain that they are planning something in Sifang City, but we don't know what their ultimate goal is yet."
"Maybe he just wants to deal with Shanhailou."
Lu Hongyun said lightly.
"Otherwise, why not go somewhere else and kill, burn and loot?"
“It shouldn’t be that simple.”
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"I have had contact with the Holy Heaven Sect many times. They will not do anything without profit. They will never cause trouble without a purpose."
"The people from Tianwai Tian are treating Shengtian Sect as a tiger."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
"If Zhao Cangqiong, who has such status and strength, has such an attitude, what attitude will most people in the Heavenly World have? Wouldn't they tremble in fear when they hear about the Holy Heaven Sect?"
"I asked Chen Xiao to come here today because... I have something I want to discuss with you."
As Zhao Cangqiong was talking, he suddenly looked at Xiao Chen.
"Ah? Me?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and joked.
"City Lord Zhao, you don't still think I'm a member of the Holy Heaven Sect, do you?"
"If I thought you were, you wouldn't have shown up at the City Lord's Mansion tonight."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"We haven't found the people from Shengtian Sect yet. They are hiding very well... But it suddenly occurred to me that since you are so outstanding, would they target you? Or are they also keeping an eye on you?"
"Huh? Staring at me?"
Xiao Chen ignored the word "praise". When asking someone to do something, everyone would praise him first.
"right."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"The most terrifying thing about the Holy Heaven Sect is not their strength, but their mystery and concealment... No one knows who is a member of the Holy Heaven Sect."
"I know that."
Xiao Chen smiled.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that there may be people from the Holy Heaven Sect in my City Lord’s Mansion, but it’s hard to find them.”
Zhao Cangqiong continued.
"Not to mention the City Lord's Mansion, even the elders of some major forces may be members of the Holy Heaven Sect."
"The enemy that is everywhere is the most terrifying."
Lu Hongyun sighed. He had fought with the Shengtian Sect several times and almost got defeated once.
"The Holy Heaven Sect is best at hiding, so I sent many people out, but nothing came of it... At most, we know that they are indeed in Sifang City."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
"In this case, it will be difficult to find him in a short time..."
"So, you want me to be the bait to lure out the Holy Heaven Sect?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
“This might be the easiest…”
"Okay, I agree."
Without waiting for Zhao Cangqiong to finish speaking, Xiao Chen nodded.
"Um?"
Zhao Cangqiong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to agree so readily.
"Haha, I think this is also a good way for me to get rid of the suspicion of Shengtian Cult."
Xiao Chen smiled. Zhao Cangqiong and the others might have wanted to test him.
If he didn't agree, their suspicion would probably be even greater.
So he readily agreed.
Because he also wanted to know what the Shengtian Sect, who would not do anything without a profit, was doing here.
"I offer a toast to Chen Xiaoyou."
Zhao Cangqiong was silent for a few seconds, picked up the cup and said.
He indeed wanted to use this to test Xiao Chen.
Now, he has very little doubt.
In addition, he also knew that Xiao Chen was a smart man and must have guessed what he was thinking.
But some things don't need to be said openly.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen and Zhao Cangqiong clinked their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.
"Do you have a specific plan?"
After the two finished their drinks, Lu Hongyun asked.
“Not yet.”
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"Okay, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me."
Lu Hongyun didn't ask any more questions.
"Everyone has a responsibility to deal with the Holy Heaven Sect."
“…”
Xiao Chen was somewhat speechless. How many things had the Shengtian Sect done in Tianwai Tian that had angered the heavens and the people, to have ended up like this?
However, the more this happens, the more we must not be careless.
Such a notorious Shengtian Sect has countless followers who are loyal to it.
"Well... I want to ask, how does the Holy Heaven Sect control its followers?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and couldn't help asking.
He felt that it was unlikely to be something like 'faith', that was too ridiculous.
It might be possible for loyal followers, but it is definitely impossible for some powerful bigwigs.
Often...the lower the social status of a person, the more loyal they are to their beliefs.
"There are many methods, some are mind control, some are poison control, and some are threats, etc. In short, once you enter the Holy Heaven Sect, you dare not betray it."
Zhao Cangqiong said.
“Furthermore, some strong people join the Holy Heaven Sect for the purpose of cultivation and even transcendence.”
"That's right. The Holy Heaven Sect was willing to spend resources. Many people tried to take advantage of the situation and ended up being deeply trapped."
Lu Hongyun also said.
"So, my friend Chen, as bait, you have to be extremely careful. If you are careless, you may end up in an irreparable situation."
"clear."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, it's better not to scare young people. Although the Holy Heaven Sect is scary, it's not something to be afraid of."
Li Xiunian smiled.
"Just treat it with care."
"I'll be careful."
Xiao Chen was also thinking about how to lure out the Shengtian Sect.
