At this time, a thin old man with a centipede scar on his left face took over with a sinister smile: "After all, there has never been anyone who has participated in the 'Tianshu Earth Button Competition' and won the ranking.
You have earned a false reputation as someone who fishes in troubled waters."
"It can only be said that this boy can be called the noblest among his peers...that is, among those who are below eighteen levels in age."
"But in front of me...you are just a piece of mud that can't stick to the wall!"
The old man with the centipede scar on his left cheek is named Shangguan Jingjie, and he is a member of the Pangtuo Sect.
Since a year ago, various sects generally increased their control efforts, he, the former "ruler", also suffered the same result as Wuyun Chu of Wuxin Sect: he was overtaken by a stronger person in the sect.
He has full authority to take charge of the "baton" of Qingyunzong's mineral vein mining.
On the other side, the old man, who was carrying a wickless lantern, was dressed in brocade and jade, and was brightly dressed, but his appearance and demeanor were ugly and so vulgar that it made people sick to his stomach. His nose trembled, and he said: "Humph, Chen Shen
Ah Chen Shen, I didn’t expect that you didn’t die under the pursuit of the three sects, seven sects and one Jedi, but you actually escaped back to the hometown of Qingyun Sect with your life?”
"What a pity! This place is no longer in the hands of you, the supreme leader."
This old man is none other than the former helmsman sent by the Mingri Sect to Qingyun Peak. He also has a very deceptive nickname: Corpse Old Man.
At present, the Mingri Sect has also replaced a new leader, named Hu Fengchui. His Xuanxiu strength is almost the same as Wuyunfei, the "big master" of the Wuxin Sect, and they are both at the peak of the five-star Xuanzun.
At this time, many experts in Ninety-nine Tianshu, the middle-level and even the bottom-level labor "miners" looked at Chen Shen with great interest, and they did not forget to joke about it -
"Are you Chen Shen? I thought you would be a strong person as your name suggests, but now it seems...that's not the case?"
"Huh? Your expression is very serious. Is it because you feel sad and sad when you see your former homeland completely changed?"
"Hahahahahaha, if you ask me, what will make this kid sad is yet to come!"
"That's right, he probably doesn't know yet, right? About two years ago, all the elders and disciples of your Qingyun Sect disappeared from the world!" "Thanks to this kid, he has the title of 'Supreme Master' on his head.
, in fact... you have become a loner for a long time? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s really pitiful~~"
The noise lasted for a while, but someone changed the subject, and everyone turned their attention to the value of Chen Shen's head——
"By the way, I remember that when this kid escaped from the Tianshu Dinuo Hegemony Competition Area, he seemed to have used the power of some kind of god-level mysterious weapon?"
"Yes, yes, I have also heard that it is a kind of magical power that can freeze time and space. Even the middle-level powerful ones at that time did not escape."
"Hey, this kind of treasure of heaven and earth must be something that the three sects, seven sects and one Jedi are determined to get. If we grab it, we will only get burned."
"But we can capture him and send him, along with his magic weapon, to one of the three sects, seven sects and one Jedi."
"Once you have achieved such great success, why worry about not being successful in the future?"
At this time, many strong men from the sects who were backed by one of the "Three Sects, Seven Sects and One Jedi" looked at Chen Shen again, and their eyes changed from the previous teasing and sarcastic expressions to greedy and bloodthirsty!
However, the young man hanging in mid-air didn't seem to care at all about the greedy eyes of everyone who wanted to "eat his flesh alive". He just stretched out his fingers and tapped the spot where Ling Kong was standing under his feet.
Immediately, he said word by word: "What you... have brought to the Qingyun Sect is tantamount to a disaster."
"Then, as the supreme leader of the Qingyun Sect, all I can do is repay you in full!"
As soon as the words were settled, many powerful men in the Ninety-nine Tianshu were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed wildly——
"Pfft hahahaha!"
"He, what else did he say about repaying the money in full? Why? Just the artifact you had back then?"
"Hmph, stop bluffing here. What if you really have an artifact in hand? Even if you could freeze time and space with the power of that so-called 'artifact', wouldn't you have to run away in despair in the end?"
"That's right! No matter how powerful the artifact is, it still depends on who is using it and how much divine power it can exert."
"It's just you, Chen Shen..."
"Hey, if I remember correctly, when you left the Tianshu Earth Button Competition, you were far from reaching the level of respectability."
"It's only been a mere hundred years now. No matter how talented you are, if your cultivation level can surpass the level of half-step Xuanzun, successfully overcome the tribulation, and achieve the level of one-star Xuanzun, it is already the maximum limit, right?"
Nowadays, most of the sects that have reached the position of "Ninety-nine Tianshu" are gathered here.
In order to exploit and protect the spiritual stone deposits to a greater extent, these sect forces sent many cultivators.
When it comes to the lineup, it’s not even half as weak as it was during the Tianshu and Earth Button Contest. It can be said that there are so many strong players!
Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Chen Shen, who returned to Qingyun Peak single-handedly and even "spoke wildly", is just a clown who can be destroyed with just one hand...
"Let's go and catch them alive!"
"Well, act quickly so that other sects don't get the upper hand."
"Listen carefully, after I capture Chen Shen, you will all do your best to protect me."
"As long as we can bring him to Yama Luomen, my Wuxin Sect will surely enjoy endless benefits!"
…
For a time, the supreme commanders sent by various sects here unanimously activated the soul transmission and issued instructions to their own people.
In fact, the contents of their transmissions were all similar, and they all regarded Chen Shen as a huge, golden "merit card", just waiting to be presented to the top!
Many cultivators were still wary of each other. After exerting the power of floating across the sky, they gradually moved closer to Chen Shen's location...
At this moment, the figure suspended in the air suddenly flashed and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Huh? Where's that kid?"
"No, that's not right... I, with my three-star Xuanzun realm of divine soul perception, can't even detect his specific whereabouts?"
"Could it be that the strength of that boy's soul is already a whole level higher than mine, so I can't detect his location?"
Just when some cultivators were about to get frightened, they cast "Flash" and instantly rushed into the clouds above their heads. Chen Shen pointed his sword downwards -
"Four Desolate Sword Techniques - Lei Ze!"
"Ding! "Four Desolate Sword Techniques" is an only high-grade earth-level, sword-like mystical skill. Now under the passive effect of "Six Meridians Sword Soul Technique", its power has increased by 80%..."
