More than ten minutes later, the group left the inn and headed to the city lord's mansion.
"There are still many people staring at you, Brother Chen."
Zhao Ritian looked around and said.
"When I went in just now, I found the hidden whistle."
"Haha, it's normal. Not everyone has given up."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't care.
"But I have already broken up with Gongsun Zhen today. When I am in a bad mood, I will kill all the people he sent to keep an eye on me."
"Brother Chen, I don't believe what the old guy said anyway. How could you be from the Shengtian Sect?"
Zhao Yuanji looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Whoever is the Shengtian Sect will be struck by thunder and lightning."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"But this old guy dares to say that I am from the Shengtian Sect, which means that his murderous intention towards me is even stronger. He wants to drive me into a place of eternal damnation."
"Yes, you should be more careful next time."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"If you can leave Sifang City, you should try your best to leave."
"No, I don't plan to leave in a short time."
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 Xiaoji out for training."
"It's not just because of the storage device, but because I'm gone, doesn't that confirm my identity as a member of the Shengtian Cult? I'd like to see what other tricks this old guy can play next."
Xiao Chen sneered.
"In addition, I also want to know what the Shengtian Sect is going to do when it comes to Sifang City."
He is still quite curious about the purpose of Shengtian Religion.
He felt that ordinary things might not attract the Shengtian Sect.
Others don't know, but he knows... The Shengtian Sect has come to Sifang City, but they haven't done anything yet.
Things like murder and arson, which outsiders thought were done by the Shengtian Sect, were actually done by him.
"I don't agree with Brother Chen leaving either. Leaving like this is a bit like running away."
Zhao Yuanji said.
"If Brother Chen is weak, it doesn't matter... Brother Chen is so strong, there is no need to be afraid of Gongsun Laogou."
"Shanhai Tower is one of the four forces, and it is also the second floor...the most threatening one is not just Gongsun Zhen, but Shanhai Tower."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"Gongsun Zhen feels that 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 comes to Sifang City."
"Hasn't it come yet? Haha, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Even if I leave Sifang City, I will go to Xuanyuan Realm next... When the time comes, I will inevitably face Shanhai Tower again."
"Too."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"I heard from Fourth Brother that they are going to Xuanyuan World next."
"So, there's no need to worry too much."
Xiao Chen's face was full of relief.
"No matter who tries to take advantage of me, they will have to pay the price... Not even on the second floor."
The four of them talked and arrived at the city lord's mansion.
After entering, they saw Zhao Cangqiong, Lu Hongyun, and Li Xiunian chatting.
Lu Wudi sat beside him a little bored, but when he saw Xiao Chen and the others arrived, his eyes lit up.
"I've met City Lord Zhao, Senior Lu, President Li..."
Xiao Chen said hello and exchanged a few words.
"Haha, please sit down."
Zhao Cangqiong was smiling all over his face.
"I was talking about you just now, saying that your reputation has spread throughout Sifang City... In the whole afternoon, several old friends have asked me about you."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen smiled, did his reputation spread?
Although he was already prepared, when he heard Zhao Cangqiong say this, he felt safer.
"Nowadays, Qingyunzi and the others don't have much movement. You can be said to be the most popular genius in recent times."
Lu Hongyun said.
"Now, even Invincible has become your foil."
"..."
Lu Wudi's face darkened. You can praise Xiao Chen, but why are you still taking me with you?
"Haha, Brother Invincible is also very strong, I just won a small victory with one move."
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 kill him.
"Hahaha, looking at them, I really feel old."
Zhao Cangqiong laughed, feeling a little emotional.
"Back then, when we were at this age, we were far inferior."
"Um."
Li Xiunian nodded.
"In recent years, more and more young people have emerged."
While they were chatting, someone came in and reported that the dinner was ready.
"Since you are ready, please go ahead."
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 started the dinner.
"There aren't many people here today. All of us here are friends."
As the host, Zhao Cangqiong inevitably had to say a few words, which could be regarded as setting the tone for the dinner.
"Haha, if we weren't all friends, I wouldn't come."
Lu Hongyun smiled. With his temper, he would definitely not sit with someone who said nothing.
He is not Li Xiunian. The latter is a businessman who smiles at everyone he sees and has a charming appearance.
Everyone was chatting and drinking wine, and the dinner party had begun.
Inevitably, we talked about Shengtian Cult.
Zhao Cangqiong looked more serious: "It is certain that they are brewing 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 calmly.
"Otherwise, why not go somewhere else to kill, set fire to, and loot?"
"It shouldn't be that simple."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"I have been in contact with the Shengtian Sect many times. They don't start early if there is no benefit. They never cause trouble if they don't have a purpose."
"The people of Tianwaitian are mistaking the Shengtian Sect for tigers."
Xiao Chen muttered in his heart.
"With Zhao Cangqiong's status and strength, and such an attitude, what attitude do most people in Tianwaitian have? How can they tremble when they hear the Shengtian Sect?"

"I invited Chen Xiao to come over today. Actually... there is something I want to discuss with you."
As Zhao Cangqiong was talking, he suddenly looked at Xiao Chen.
"Ah I?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and joked.
"City Lord Zhao, don't you still think that I am a member of the Shengtian Sect?"
"If I thought you were, then you wouldn't show up at the City Lord's Mansion tonight."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"We haven't found anyone from the Shengtian Sect for a long time. They are hiding well... But I suddenly thought, you are so good, are they interested in you? Or, in other words, are they also watching you?"
"Huh? Staring at me?"
Xiao Chen ignored "praise". When looking for someone to do something, who wouldn't praise him first?
"right."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"The most terrifying thing about the Shengtian Sect is not their strength, but their mystery and concealment... No one knows who is a member of the Shengtian Sect."
"I do know this."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"It is no exaggeration to say that there may be people from the Shengtian Sect in my city lord's palace, but it is difficult to find them."
Zhao Cangqiong continued.
"Not to mention the City Lord's Mansion, there are some elders from big forces, and they may also be people from the Shengtian Sect."
"The enemies that are everywhere are the most terrifying thing."
Lu Hongyun sighed with emotion. He had fought against the Shengtian Sect several times and almost failed once.
"The Shengtian Sect is best at hiding, so I sent out many people, but got nothing... At most, I just 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 used as bait to lure out the Shengtian Sect?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"This is probably the easiest..."
"Okay, I agree."
Xiao Chen nodded before Zhao Cangqiong finished speaking.
"Um?"
Zhao Cangqiong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to agree so happily.
"Haha, I think this is also a good way for me to get rid of the suspicion of Shengtian Sect."
Xiao Chen smiled, Zhao Cangqiong and the others had no intention of testing before they tried.
If he doesn't agree, their suspicions may become even more serious.
Therefore, he readily agreed.
Because he also wants to know what the Shengtian Sect, which has no profit and cannot afford to do early, is going to do here.
"I'd like to toast little friend Chen."
Zhao Cangqiong was silent for a few seconds, picked up the cup and said.
Indeed, he also wanted to use this opportunity to test Xiao Chen.
Now, his doubts are very few.
In addition, he also knew that Xiao Chen was a smart man and must have guessed what he was thinking.
But there are some things that 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 any specific plans?"
After the two of them finished drinking, Lu Hongyun asked.
"Not specific yet."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"Okay, if you need me to do anything, just ask."
Lu Hongyun asked no more questions.
"Everyone has a responsibility to deal with the Shengtian Sect."
"..."
Xiao Chen was a little speechless. How many outrageous things had the Holy Heaven Sect done in Tianwaitian to end up like this?
However, the more this happens, the less careless it is.
Such a notorious Shengtian Sect controls countless members and is very loyal.
"This... I want to ask, how does the Shengtian Religion control its members?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and couldn't help but ask.
He felt that it was unlikely to be something like ‘faith’, that would be too nonsense.
There may be loyal believers, but for some strong men at the boss level, it is definitely impossible.
Often...the lower the people are, the more loyal they are because of their faith.
"There are many methods, some are mind control, some are poison control, there are threats, etc... In short, once you enter the Shengtian Religion, you won't dare to betray it."
Zhao Cangqiong said.
"Furthermore, some powerful people join the Shengtian Sect in order to practice and even transcend."
"That's right, the Shengtian Sect is willing to waste its resources. There are many people who are just seeking skin from the tiger and end up getting deeply involved."
Lu Hongyun also said.
"So, Chen Xiaoyou, as a fishing bait, you have to be extremely careful. A careless move may lead to a disaster."
"clear."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, it's better not to scare young people. The Shengtian Religion is terrifying, and it won't change your face when you talk about it."
Li Xiunian smiled.
"Just be careful with it."
"I will be careful."
Xiao Chen was also thinking about how to bring out the Shengtian Sect.
