In the Imperial Sea, more and more sea monsters appear.
However, some sea monsters did not appear, but were hidden in the deep sea areas.
Some sea monsters are heading towards Xuanyuan Town.
Especially when the smell of blood permeates the air, it will always attract nearby sea monsters.
Then...a big battle is inevitable.
The sea water would turn red from time to time and then dissipate again.
But even so, the cultivators still refused to retreat and fought excitedly.
Not to mention other opportunities, the crystal core alone is quite a harvest.
Even if night falls, it cannot stop the fighting on the sea.
News is also constantly spreading from Xuanyuan Town.
The strange phenomenon in the Imperial Sea, the appearance of sea monsters... almost everyone thinks that this is related to Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo.
Major forces from all sides also responded and prepared to come.
Xuanyuan Town...is turbulent.
After Xiao Chen finished eating, he did not go to Dihai and returned to the inn.
The power of his soul has almost been drained out, and he must practice quickly, otherwise his combat effectiveness will be affected.
"Why hasn't Xiao Gen come back yet?"
Xiao Chen sat in front of the window, looking out eagerly like an old father looking forward to his wanderer's return home.
He waited for a long time, but did not see the spiritual roots of heaven and earth come back, so he could only shake his head.
"Is this playing wild? Yes, staying in the bone ring all day is no different from going to jail...forget it, let it play."
Xiao Chen is not too worried about the safety of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth...
One night passed quickly.
When Xiao Chen woke up from his cultivation state, he still didn't see the spiritual roots of heaven and earth coming back.
"Where did you go to play..."
Xiao Chen muttered, left the room, and called Wang Pingbei to go downstairs for breakfast.
"Master Chen, Xuanyuan Town has gained a lot of cultivators overnight."
The waiter stepped forward and whispered.
"Oh? It seems the news has spread."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and was not surprised.
As long as there is news, the practitioners will come through the teleportation array.
Speaking of which, it is faster and more convenient than the transportation method in the mother world.
"Is there anyone coming to the second floor?"
Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
"Second floor? I haven't heard of it."
The waiter shook his head.
"Any other news?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"On the other side of the Imperial Sea, many people have died...and there are more sea monsters."
The waiter replied.
"As for the town, there's not much..."
"Hehe, here's a reward for you."
Xiao Chen took out a few more gold particles and threw them to the waiter.
"Remember, if anyone is looking for me, you must tell me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just waiting at the inn. If anyone comes looking for you, I will tell you as soon as possible."
The waiter took the gold particles and smiled even wider.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction and left with Wang Pingbei.
"In the morning, I am going to visit Blacksmith Zhang. Do you want to go?"
"Ah I……"
Wang Pingbei hesitated. He didn't want to go, but he felt insecure after leaving Xiao Chen.
"Well, just don't go. You can take a walk around the town, or go to Dihai to have a look, and try to get as much information as possible."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"OK."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
He felt that the situation in Xuanyuan Town should be better than that in Sifang City.
At least...Here is where the Iron Head wants to cause trouble for Xiao Chen.
He doesn't care that much about the Iron Master, unless someone from the older generation comes.
"Take the sound transmission stone with you and contact me if anything happens."
Xiao Chen said again.
"I know, Brother Chen."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Brother Chen, I'm going then."
"Um."
Xiao Chen went to Blacksmith Zhang's place on the back street and knocked on the door.
Soon, the man opened the door.
"You came."
"Haha, you didn't kill the sea monster?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"No, I haven't finished the work I have to do every day, so I can't go out."
The man shook his head.
"Go to Dihai in the afternoon."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Zhang San."
The man replied.
"..."
Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, Zhang San?
Do you dare to name this name with all your heart?
However, he still handed over his hand: "It turns out to be Brother Zhang, what a good name... As the saying goes, 'One life is two, two is three, three is all things'..."
"Haha, come in."
Although Zhang San didn't know what this meant, he must have praised his name and couldn't help but smile.
"good."
Xiao Chen followed with a smile and met Zhang Blacksmith.
"Little friend Chen is here."
Blacksmith Zhang pointed to the chair.
"Sit down and drink tea."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, sat down, picked up the tea, and took a sip.
"Senior Zhang, I'm coming to see you blacksmithing today, won't you bother me?"
"do not bother."
Blacksmith Zhang shook his head.
"Wait a moment and we'll go there."
"good."
While the two were chatting, Zhang San went to the side room next to him and began to prepare for blacksmithing.
"Senior, are you working on iron every day?"
Xiao Chen asked casually while drinking tea.
"Yeah, I don't have anything else to do, I just have this little interest."
Blacksmith Zhang nodded.
"I just want to leave a few weapons that satisfy me before I die..."
"You are joking. With your strength, your age is nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You're still old."
Blacksmith Zhang waved his hand.
"By the way, how did you meet the Ghost King?"
"Oh, when I was in Sifang City, I went to buy something from his stall... Unexpectedly, I met him again here. I thought it was fate, so I invited him for a drink."
Xiao Chen said truthfully.
"He told you about the guardian, right?"
Zhang Tiejiang looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Yes."
Xiao Chen hesitated and nodded.
"I am curious about your identity, including the identity of the Ghost King."
"Haha, who do you think I am, and what is his identity?"
Blacksmith Zhang chuckled.
"protector."
Xiao Chen put down the tea cup.
"You are a guardian, and so is he."
"Why do you say that?"
Blacksmith Zhang raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
"There's no evidence, it's just a feeling."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Feeling? Hahaha."
Blacksmith Zhang laughed.
"Let's go, we should be almost ready."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Xiao Chen was startled, but he didn't ask any more questions and followed him.
Since Zhang Tiejiang didn't say anything, he couldn't continue to ask.
Therefore, we can only listen to the arrangements.
Arriving at the wing, the heat hit my face.
"You said before that the rhythm of my blacksmithing can help people cultivate their spirits, right?"
Blacksmith Zhang took the hammer handed by his disciple and asked.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Your rhythm is extraordinary."
"Haha, let's listen to it carefully today."
Blacksmith Zhang smiled and picked up the hammer.
Xiao Chen's heart moved, he held his breath and concentrated, and even... his spiritual consciousness was released.
Dangdangdang...
The rhythmic sound of iron striking sounded again.
Blacksmith Zhang was also immersed in it, and the hammer was lifted and dropped lightly.
Only Zhang San looked at his master and then at Xiao Chen from time to time, muttering something in his heart.
On the other side, Wang Pingbei was walking around Xuanyuan Town. When he encountered a place where practitioners gathered, he would join in the fun and inquire about it.
"Overnight, the number of practitioners in Xuanyuan Town doubled."
"It's been quite a lot in the past few days, but now it's even more?"
"Yes, more cultivators will flock to Xuanyuan Town and head to the Emperor Sea to find opportunities."
"Who wouldn't be interested in Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo? Maybe all the big guys will come."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come."
"They are here, can we still get a chance?"
"Opportunity? Ha, real great opportunities are never prepared for you and me... We can only drink soup, but the smoke is rising from our ancestors' graves."
"I heard that someone is coming from Qingyun Tower, but I don't know who is coming."
"Where is Shanhai Tower?"
"There is no movement at Shanhai Tower for now, but if someone comes from Qingyun Tower, then someone from Shanhai Tower will definitely come soon."
"The conflict broke out on the second floor and became more and more serious... I don't know if there will be a fight this time."
"Have you heard? Chen Xiao is here too."
"Well, he was in Sifang City, but he offended someone from Shanhailou... I wonder if Shanhailou will do anything this time."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go to the Emperor Sea... If we can really kill a sea monster and get a crystal core, it won't be worth our stay here for more than ten days."
"Let's go, let's go..."
The cultivators rushed straight to the Imperial Sea in great numbers.
Wang Pingbei wandered around and changed places to continue inquiring about news.
"Someone is coming to Qingyun Tower? Who could it be?"
Wang Pingbei walked around and decided to take a look at Qingyun Tower.
Because he had been there once with his master, he was familiar with the road and arrived quickly.
"It's not Qingyunzi who's coming, right? No, this is just the beginning. Even if Qingyunzi comes, he won't come at this time."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"When he comes, the battle will be huge... If he dares to walk out of Qingyun Tower, there will be many defenders around him!"
He found a tea stall near Qingyun Tower and sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and stared over there.
"It's him?"
Soon, Wang Pingbei's eyelids twitched.
In his line of sight, a young man dressed richly appeared, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking...very dazed.
This is one of Qing Yunzi's followers, and he is also a loser... Of course, he is also a genius himself, and he ranks quite high.
"Are you here to stand up for Qingyunzi?"
Wang Pingbei looked at the young man and narrowed his eyes.
The young man did not notice Wang Pingbei and led two people towards the direction of Dihai.
"Do you want to talk to Brother Chen and kill him?"
Wang Pingbei thought about it, he and this guy... were still a bit difficult to deal with.
Right now is a good opportunity.
With so many cultivators in Xuanyuan Town, it is too easy for one person to disappear quietly.
Wang Pingbei changed his mind, suppressed the urge to follow, and continued to drink tea and monitor.
He wanted to find out who was coming to Qingyun Tower.
It would be best if there was no one who could threaten Xiao Chen.
If there is...forget it, if there is, he can't persuade Xiao Chen to leave here.
Now that a strange phenomenon is happening in the Emperor Sea, everyone is coming here, how could Xiao Chen leave.
Even if the Great Elder comes, Xiao Chen will not leave.
"As long as Qingyun Tower doesn't find anything, the hostility towards Xiao Chen will not be great...the biggest threat comes from Shanhai Tower."
Wang Pingbei decided to go to Shanhai Tower to have a look later.
