Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Cangqiong and Lu Hongyun began to ponder.
It’s not that they are easy to deceive, but they don’t know what the Holy Heaven Sect is doing, and they don’t know that all the people in the Holy Heaven Sect are dead.
Seeing that they seemed to be deep in thought, Xiao Chen did not say anything more.
Some things just need to be said simply. If you say too much, it would be too much and the effect would not be achieved.
"So many powerful people disappeared inexplicably. We must investigate thoroughly. We can't just let it go like this."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
"It's been a very eventful time in Sifang City lately!"
"Who is he talking about? He's not talking about me..."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face.
Wang Pingbei glanced at Xiao Chen from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he looked normal, he secretly admired him.
He was obviously the instigator of all this...but what about him? It was as if none of this had anything to do with him.
"First, Zhou Zhengyang's son was killed, and then something happened at Shanhai Tower... one thing after another, and there was no clue."
Zhao Cangqiong took a sip of tea.
"Luckily, we noticed the Holy Heaven Sect, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark until today."
"I think the first thing to do is to figure out the purpose of the Holy Heaven Cult. They have done so many things for a reason."
Lu Hongyun said.
"Perhaps, they want to attract our attention? Lao Zhao, didn't you send someone to investigate the area near Sifang City?"
"Um?"
Zhao Cangqiong was stunned. Don’t mention it, he really focused all his attention on the city.
I didn't pay much attention to things outside the city.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. Lu Hongyun reminded Zhao Cangqiong. Would the location of the teleportation array be noticed?
He thought about it again and felt that if he could help Zhao Cangqiong find the location of the teleportation array, it might not be a bad thing.
Anyway, he had destroyed the teleportation array, so the possibility of repairing it was very slim.
Even if it can be repaired, if Zhao Cangqiong finds the teleportation array, he can prevent the Shengtian Sect from repairing it.
There is almost no possibility of cooperation between the two parties, which will lead to checks and balances.
Otherwise, what if the Holy Heaven Sect came secretly and repaired it?
Thinking of this, he nodded: "I think what Senior Lu said makes some sense, and the situation outside the city cannot be ignored either."
"Well, next, I will send someone to check and see if there is anything to find."
Zhao Cangqiong said.
Just as they were talking, a subordinate came in to report that someone from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce had arrived.
"Let him in."
"Lord City Lord, I am here to invite Young Master Chen on the orders of President Li."
The visitor bowed and said respectfully.
"Please Chen Xiao?"
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Xiao Chen. Li Xiunian was there too, but he didn't follow him.
Now someone is sent to invite Chen Xiao again, what could be going on?
"Looking for me?"
Xiao Chen was also a little surprised.
"Yes, President Li said that the person who sent the Broken Sword has arrived."
Someone came and said.
"Oh? You're here?"
Xiao Chen was excited in his heart, but he tried his best to restrain himself on the surface.
"Then I have to go meet him...You go back first, I'll be there later."
"yes."
The visitor bowed again, turned around and left.
"City Lord Zhao, Senior Lu, I am somewhat interested in the broken sword I bought at the auction. I asked President Li to help keep an eye on the person who sent it... If there is nothing else here, I will go and meet him first?"
Xiao Chen said.
"Well, go ahead and try to be careful."
Zhao Cangqiong reminded.
"Okay, I will do what I promised you."
Xiao Chen stood up.
"Then I'll go first."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"I'll take you out."
Zhao Ritian stood up.
After the young men left, Zhao Cangqiong looked at Lu Hongyun and asked, "Why do you keep helping Chen Xiao?"
"He helped Wudi before, isn't that reason enough?"
Lu Hongyun drank tea and smiled.
"not enough."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"Haha, then add one more."
Lu Hongyun's smile became even wider.
"What?"
"He's pleasing to the eye."
“…”
Zhao Cangqiong was speechless. Is this a reason?
"Now that you're the city lord, do you think too much? I just like him and admire him."
Lu Hongyun put down the teacup.
"Looking at the younger generation, how many people can be like him? Even being invincible can't do it."
"really."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"His strength may not be as good as Qing Yunzi and Shan Haijun, but in other aspects, he is not bad."
"He will surely soar to the sky in the future. Why not make friends with him while he is still young?"
Lu Hongyun was quite serious.
"When he soars into the sky, we may no longer be worthy of his attention."
Hearing Lu Hongyun's words, Zhao Cangqiong's eyelids twitched fiercely: "You think so highly of him?"
"Of course, I think one day he will surpass Qing Yunzi and Shan Haijun. The only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him may come from Tianshan..."
Lu Hongyun nodded.
"By then, you and I...will be nothing."
“…”
Zhao Cangqiong was silent. He felt that he was already quite optimistic about Chen Xiao.
As a result, Lu Hongyun actually elevated Chen Xiao to such a high level!
Tianshan Mountains?
That is the most powerful and mysterious existence in the world.
Rumor has it that there is a peerless genius there who can suppress Qing Yunzi and Shan Hai Jun.
"Old Zhao, you can say that I am not strong enough, but you can't say that I have a bad vision..."
Lu Hongyun smiled again, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"I feel like it's because he beat Lu Wudi... If you praise him more, it will make your brother look more powerful."
Zhao Cangqiong said deliberately.
“Hahaha, that’s a little bit true.”
Lu Hongyun burst into laughter.
"That old fellow Gongsun Zhen has brought a powerful enemy upon Shanhai Tower."
"Maybe he will regret it one day."
Zhao Cangqiong said slowly.
"One day? Oh, I'm afraid he won't even have the chance to regret it."
Lu Hongyun's smile faded.
"Maybe I won't even live to see the 'someday' you mentioned."
“…”
Zhao Cangqiong stopped talking.
…
At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Ritian handed the storage device to Xiao Chen.
"Go back and take a look. If there are any problems, we can communicate again."
"good."
Xiao Chen took it with joy.
"Brother Zhao, thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Zhao Ritian smiled.
"You and I are close friends."
"Hahaha... I'll be leaving first. When I'm done, I'll call you guys for a drink."
Xiao Chen laughed, bowed, and left with Wang Pingbei.
"What is that?"
Lu Wudi asked curiously, why did it feel like Xiao Chen had obtained a treasure?
"The storage device I refined can store the power of the soul."
Zhao Ritian gave a brief introduction and didn't say much else.
It’s not because of anything else, but because he felt... even if he said it, these mortals would not be able to understand it.
Only geniuses like him and Xiao Chen can understand it.
"Oh, yes, you are a weapon refiner..."
Lu Wudi nodded.
"Storing the power of the soul? Can you refine one for me?"
Although he felt that it was useless, something that Xiao Chen regarded as a treasure must be extraordinary.
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, do you want to refine it?"
Zhao Ritian looked at Lu Wudi and asked.
"What? Are you crazy?"
Lu Wudi widened his eyes. Ten thousand spirit stones?
He has plenty of spirit stones, but this broken thing costs 10,000 spirit stones?
Isn’t that too exaggerated?
"Alas, even mortals like you cannot understand... this is a priceless treasure."
Zhao Ritian put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with the look of a master.
“…”
Lu Wudi looked at Zhao Ritian's back, then at Zhao Yuanji.
"Is there something wrong with this guy?"
"I don't allow you to say that about me..."
Zhao Yuanji glared at Lu Wudi.
"Why, you still want to fight with me?"
Lu Wudi raised his eyebrows.
"... Young Master, wait for me."
Zhao Yuanji ignored Lu Wudi's words and quickly chased after him.
"Oh."
Seeing Zhao Yuanji running away in fear, Lu Wudi sneered and glanced in the direction where Xiao Chen left.
"Could what Third Brother said be true?
Xiao Chen fiddled with the storage device as he walked. It looked better than the previous one.
It is obvious that the refining technique has become more sophisticated.
"Brother Chen, we had another conflict with Gongsun Zhen today. Is there any danger?"
Wang Pingbei followed beside him and asked.
"Are you talking about Gongsun Zhen? He must be in danger. I've declared war, how can he not be in danger?"
Xiao Chen said casually.
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. Am I asking about Gongsun Zhen?
However, he felt much more at ease when he saw Xiao Chen's nonchalant expression.
To be honest, what he experienced these days was more than what he had experienced in Qingyun Tower over the years.
Especially the life-and-death crises…it really happened nine times in three days!
"Well, Brother Chen, what's the point of keeping the head of the Great Lord Fierce Snake?"
Wang Pingbei thought of something and asked.
"I haven't decided yet. If it's really useless, I'll feed it to wild dogs... Keep it for now, just in case it comes in handy, right?"
Xiao Chen said as he put away the storage device.
"The main thing is to put a head in a storage magic weapon, isn't that annoying?"
Wang Ping North Road.
"Haha, Beizi, you're being too narrow-minded, aren't you? I even have a corpse inside, what else is missing?"
Xiao Chen grinned.
"ah?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned. Wow, there are corpses?
It turns out that there is nothing he doesn’t have, only things you can’t think of!
Soon, the two arrived at the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, and Manager Chen was already waiting at the door.
"Mr. Chen."
Manager Chen stepped forward and bowed with a smile.
"Haha, Manager Chen."
Xiao Chen also bowed.
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm waiting for Master Chen."
Manager Chen said.
"President Li is waiting for you inside, please."
"please."
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Manager Chen.
"Haha, is there something good going on, Manager Chen? He looks so proud of himself."
"Haha, you figured it out? Thanks to Master Chen, I have the final say over the auction house now."
Manager Chen smiled even more broadly. He had just made up his mind and placed his bet on Xiao Chen.
Unexpectedly, I actually won, and won big!
"When we have time, give me a chance and let me buy Young Master Chen a drink to express my gratitude."
"Okay, okay. Manager Chen said it's fine anytime."
"Uh-huh."
Manager Chen was touched. Xiao Chen today was no longer the Xiao Chen from two days ago.
Two days ago, Xiao Chen was an unknown person in Sifang City.
Now……
Who can ascend to the Heavenly Ranking with one sword and suppress Lu Wudi!
Everybody knows it, everybody knows it!
