The young monk's face turned red from running and his robe was soaked with sweat.
"Senior Brother Mingyuan! Senior Brother Mingyuan!"
The young monk ran to Mingyuan and bowed deeply.
"The Buddha is calling you back to the Buddhist sect!"
Mingyuan was slightly stunned.
"The Buddha is calling me?"
He was puzzled because the Buddha never took the initiative to call him back unless something big happened in the Buddhist sect.
But nothing major has happened in the Buddhist sect recently. Why would the Buddha suddenly call him back?
Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen looked at each other and saw something strange in each other's eyes.
Things don't seem that simple.
The little monk lowered his head, his eyes flickering, and seemed a little afraid to look at Mingyuan.
Ye Chen keenly caught this point.
"Young Master, what happened?"
Ye Chen stared at the little monk, as if he wanted to see through him, and there was a barely perceptible sharpness in his tone.
The little monk trembled and dared not look up even more.
"No... nothing..."
He stammered.
Xiao Wuhen frowned.
"The Buddha has summoned you, why are you so flustered?"
His tone deepened, and a powerful aura emanated from him, oppressing the little monk so much that he could hardly breathe.
The little monk's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen were even more certain that there must be something fishy going on here. It was definitely not because the Buddha wanted to summon Mingyuan.
Today Mingyuan openly broke his vow by drinking alcohol and eating meat. Logically speaking, the Buddha is a highly accomplished monk and must be able to see that Mingyuan is realizing the Buddha's mind.
This is most likely Mingyuan's rival Huikong, who called Mingyuan back in the name of the Buddha, hoping to suppress Mingyuan by taking advantage of the violation of the precepts.
Xiao Wuhen was about to speak but was stopped by Mingyuan.
"Donor Xiao, no need to ask any more questions."
Mingyuan looked calm, without showing any sign of panic.
"I'll just go back to the Buddhist sect, there won't be any problem."
He turned to look at Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen and said apologetically.
"Donor Ye, Donor Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't continue to accompany you to visit Xizhou."
Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen nodded to show their understanding.
This is an internal matter of their Buddhist sect, and it is not appropriate for them to interfere.
"Little Monk Mingyuan, take care."
Ye Chen patted Mingyuan's shoulder with a serious tone.
"If anything happens, remember to send us a message."
Xiao Wuhen also said.
“Although Buddhism is a pure place, it is not without filth.”
"Be careful in everything."
Mingyuan clasped his hands together and bowed to the two of them.
"Thank you both for your concern."
After saying this, he followed the little monk and left in a hurry.
Mingyuan's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the path, leaving only Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen standing there. The breeze around them blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "Old Xiao, don't you think this matter is not that simple? Could it be that Hui Kong is really behind this?"
Xiao Wuhen pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible. I'm afraid Mingyuan will get into trouble if he goes there."
Ye Chen sighed and looked into the distance: "I hope Mingyuan can solve it smoothly."
"Are you Ye Chen?"
At this moment, a muffled voice came from behind Ye Chen.
Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen turned around at the same time.
A burly man and a young man in a golden robe were standing behind them.
The burly man stood like an iron tower, exuding a fierce aura that made people afraid.
The young man in the golden robe looked gentle and refined, waving a folding fan in his hand with a faint smile on his face.
The one who just spoke was the burly man.
He looked Ye Chen up and down with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Tsk tsk, he really is in the Human Immortal Realm? With this level of cultivation, he dares to occupy the first place on the Supreme List?"
Although Ye Chen is ranked 4,999th, he is currently at the top of the Supreme List, which means he is ranked first.
"Although Hu Lingren is known as the number one prodigy in Xizhou, he is only considered one of the younger generation."
"In front of a true genius, he is still inferior. Your defeat is nothing!"
The burly man added sarcastically.
The young man in the golden robe seemed much more cautious. He first bowed to Ye Chen and Xiao Wuhen.
"My name is Jin Wuming, and this is Brother Tieshan."
"We two admire Brother Ye's great name, and have come to learn a thing or two from him."
Tieshan was impatient and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense, boy, do you dare to fight me?"
Ye Chen looked at Xiao Wuhen helplessly. The ranking of the Supreme List was exposed, and it was really difficult to have a moment of peace and quiet.
"We can have a fight, but this place is too small to fully demonstrate our skills."
Ye Chen looked around and pointed to the sky.
"How about we go to the clouds and fight?"
Tieshan laughed out loud.
"A battle in the clouds? Just what I want!"
He couldn't wait to teach this ignorant boy from Wonderland a lesson.
The four of them flashed and leaped into the sky, with white clouds floating under their feet, making it look like a fairyland.
Above the clouds, Ye Chen and Tieshan stood facing each other.
Tieshan held a big knife and looked very aggressive.
Ye Chen turned his wrist, and a golden sword emerged from his hand. The sword body was shining with golden light, and its sharpness was revealed.
Xiao Wuhen stood quietly on the colorful cloud beside him. He was not worried at all that Ye Chen would lose. He believed in Ye Chen.
Jin Wuming narrowed his eyes, waving his folding fan while secretly thinking: "Let's see what Ye Chen is capable of."
Tieshan took the first step. He shouted loudly, raised the big knife in his hand high, and then chopped it down fiercely.
A sharp blade light, with the power to split mountains and split rocks, slashed towards Ye Chen fiercely.
Facing Tieshan, who was at the ninth level of True Immortal, Ye Chen did not dare to be careless. He dodged the sword light with a flash of his body.
At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand, and golden sword energy, like a swimming dragon, attacked Tieshan.
Tieshan waved his sword and blocked the sword energy one by one.
The flashes of swords and sabers intertwined and shone in the clouds.
The powerful impact caused the surrounding clouds to surge like raging waves.
In just one round, the two had exchanged dozens of moves.
Although Ye Chen's cultivation is not as good as Tieshan's, his swordsmanship is exquisite and his speed is extremely fast.
For a while, he was actually fighting on equal terms with Tieshan.
Above the clouds, the wind was howling, and the figures of the two people appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
“Ding ding ding!”
The deafening sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky, and sparks flew everywhere.
Tieshan leaned forward slightly and slashed Ye Chen's neck with a horizontal knife.
Ye Chen leaned his upper body back slightly and dodged the knife flexibly by moving sideways. The blade almost passed by the tip of his nose, bringing up a gust of wind.
Ye Chen also took advantage of the situation and swept his sword across, slashing upwards towards Tieshan's waist.
Tieshan was shocked. He didn't expect Ye Chen to react so quickly. In a hurry, he quickly drew his sword and blocked it.
"clang!"
The swords collided again, and the huge recoil force pushed both of them back more than a foot.
Ye Chen steadied himself and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, you're quite strong!"
There was a hint of excitement in Ye Chen's eyes, as if he was enjoying this fierce battle.
