"Thank you." Chen Bufan said politely.

"We are all from the Shenlong Empire, there is no need to say thank you." Meng Luoxue said calmly.

"Yes." Chen Bufan nodded, understanding Meng Luoxue's temper, so he didn't say any more meaningless words to her.

"If you insist on saying thank you, thank you all for coming forward in time. Otherwise, even if we all attack together, we probably won't be able to defeat those geniuses." Meng Luoxue said.

It’s rare that I would take the initiative to say so many words today.

Chen Bufan shook his head: "The other party came to Guangling, obviously because of me. Before the retreat, Canglong had the news. Because I killed several of their nobles, many people in the Western world were not convinced, so in the end these geniuses came to ask for advice.

It should have been me who took action, but in the end you were the first to fight. If you hadn't injured Lei Xiu, I wouldn't have killed them so smoothly."

"Logically speaking, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking should belong to you, because Lei Xiu's life originally belonged to you!"

"I never care about the ranking on the Heavenly Ranking. The reason why I am ranked second is because I defeated Fa Yi by accident. Anyway, it was you who killed Lei Xiu, even though you are ranked first!" Meng Luoxue said coldly, not caring at all.

"I'm not interested in ranking on the Heavenly Ranking. Since you don't even take the number one position, I can't just accept the number one position casually." Chen Bufan said, after all, on the basis that Meng Luoxue injured Lei Xiu, he

He just killed him, so Meng Luoxue’s contribution must be counted.

"Do you still want to fight me to see who's better? Then you'll feel at ease?" Meng Luoxue suddenly asked.

"That's not a big deal. Since no one is interested, let's just tie for second place!" Chen Bufan said with a smile.

Meng Luoxue frowned.

She only has an ordinary peak cultivation level, while Chen Bufan is at the supreme peak level and is obviously more powerful than her.

Still tied for second place?

"Boring!" Meng Luoxue replied to him.

Even if Chen Bufan said this, no one in the world would recognize it.

He is number one on the heavenly list!

"Then just think I'm bored." Chen Bufan smiled.

Then he didn't say much, but turned to Qu Muye and said, "Are these the only ones here?"

"Only these!" Qu Muye said, he understood what Chen Bufan meant by asking.

There are more than just these forces in the monastic world of the Shenlong Empire. Faced with the provocation from Western geniuses, only these people came in the end, which is illogical!

"Penglai Holy Land, as well as several forces from the Five Sects and Seven Sects, as well as the Ancient Clan, and some other forces, it's impossible that they don't know about this matter, and they didn't even send anyone here! What's the reason?" Chen Bufan frowned.

"Some are unable to come, and some... I'm afraid they didn't come on purpose!" Qu Muye said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Bufan asked.

"These are just my inferences. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk first. It just so happens that there are other forces here today, so we can express our thoughts together." Qu Muye suggested.

"Exactly what I want!" Chen Bufan nodded, "Everyone has come to Dongzhou from afar regardless of the hardships. Let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

It’s rare for so many people in the monastic world to gather together, so it’s just a good time to communicate together!

They were all members of the monastic community, and they wanted to book a hotel to make it public, so Chen Bufan invited everyone to the Demon Temple office.

In the large Chinese-style courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles, a dozen Eight Immortals tables were set up, enough for everyone to sit!

There is a cafeteria in the Demon Temple Office, and there are also master cooks, and all the ingredients are prepared in advance.

When it was busy until noon, there were tables of delicious food.

There are also all kinds of top-quality liquors, all brought out to greet everyone.

This is also the first time that the Demonic Temple has entertained so many guests since it settled in Dongzhou!

The place suddenly seemed very lively.

Chen Bufan, Jiang Yurou, Qu Muye, Chongxu Zhenren, Yu Lizhang, and some sect leaders were sitting at a table.

Just after all the dishes were served, Chen Bufan ordered: "Eight Dragon Kings, pour wine for everyone!"

"Okay!" the Eight Dragon Kings agreed, picked up the collection of liquor worth tens of thousands, and filled it for all the guests.

It was an honor to have the Eight Dragon Kings of the Demon Temple pour wine for me. Everyone expressed their thanks!

A round of wine poured down and Chen Bufan stood up.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, he faced everyone: "Introduce me as the host, and here's a toast to everyone. Thank you for coming here as soon as possible and coming forward for the monastic community of the Shenlong Empire!"

After saying that, Chen Bufan drank it all in one gulp!

"Palace Master Chen is so polite!!"

While everyone was talking, they all drank the wine in their hands.

After finishing, Chen Bufan raised his glass again and said, "With this second glass of wine, I want to pay tribute to Miss Meng alone. Thank you for your fearless battle!"

After that, drink it all!

I originally wanted Meng Luoxue not to drink, but unexpectedly, Meng Luoxue picked up the wine glass, said nothing, and became bored.

Then put down the cup and focus on picking up the food.

Not eating it myself, but giving it to a cute little girl next to me, it was Sisi.

I couldn't leave Sisi at home alone, so I brought her with me.

Unexpectedly, Sisi was very interested in the cold-tempered Meng Luoxue, calling her a fairy sister, going around and around.

Chen Bufan was afraid of disturbing Meng Luoxue at first, but unexpectedly, Meng Luoxue showed a gentle side to Sisi and actually started playing with her.

Even when eating, I have to sit with Meng Luoxue.

Chen Bufan was very surprised to see Meng Luoxue finish her drink so quickly. Given her personality, she didn't refuse, and she even took care of Sisi with a tender look on her face, which was really rare!

Smiling slightly, he finally said loudly: "Mr. Chen has finished the toast with two glasses of wine. Let's eat and drink as you like. Don't be polite!"

Then he sat down again, and after eating a few bites of food with everyone, we got down to business.

"Senior Qu, what you said before was that some of you couldn't come and some of you didn't come on purpose. What do you mean?"

Qu Muye put down his chopsticks.

"The monastic world of the Shenlong Empire has been in a state of continuous decline from ancient times to the present. Many forces have gradually declined and disappeared. There are still some forces that, in order to continue, have closed their doors and are too lazy to care about the outside world."

"Penglai Holy Land, one of the three holy places, has not appeared for a long time."

"As for the remaining ancient clans, it is certain whether the Xuanyuan Ancient clan is still there. There has been no news from the Ji family for many years. The last Situ family definitely does not want to get involved in these matters."

"There are still some forces that are unwilling to come forward for various reasons!"

"I understand this." Chen Bufan nodded.

"As for those forces that deliberately do not take action..." Qu Muye said this, his eyes suddenly looked at the leaders of Chixia Sect, Famiao Sect and others.
