This sentence attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads and looked at this uninvited guest, with dissatisfaction on their faces.
The twelve people present are all strong on the list. Although the current ranking is not high, none of them have great potential. Give them some time, let alone the mere fifty-four, even the twenty-four or fourteen strong ones. Anyone can pull it off.
The arrogant demeanor and tone of voice of this powerful man ranked fifty-fourth made people very unhappy.
"What did you just say?" Zi Chen stared at the other party.
Being stared at by Zi Chen, Jiuchong, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, suddenly became a little nervous, but he forced himself to cheer up and said: "My master asked you to come over and discuss something. His ranking on the handsome list is fifty-four."
As if he was worried that his previous words had no weight, the Kunuzhong emphasized again.
"Fifty-four is much higher than seventy-eight. It seems that it is necessary to improve the ranking."
Hearing Zi Chen's murmur, the arrogant Jiuchong's expression changed drastically.
He didn't know whether Zi Chen had the strength to challenge his master, but since the other party dared to say this, even if he didn't take action, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with his master.
Before coming, when the master gave him instructions, he told him not to anger Zi Chen.
And when he dared to speak with such an attitude, he also saw the current situation. Zi Chen and the five major families were fighting to the death. In addition to the Wang family, the other four major families all had strong men on the list working for them.
Now, he is recruiting Zi Chen on behalf of Fifty Four. I think Zi Chen will be very willing to cooperate because he can't make any more enemies.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. Zi Chen still shows a tough attitude and even wants to advance to some rankings. Obviously, he does not take his elders seriously.
The development of the gaffe was far beyond his imagination, and for a moment, the ninth level man was at a loss.
It seems it's too late to lower your stance now.
Just when he was in a dilemma and at a loss, a voice came from not far away: "I have met Mr. Zi Chen, and my lord invites Mr. Zi Chen to come as a guest."
Compared to just now, this voice was much more polite.
Zi Chen looked at the visitor and asked, "Your family is also on the list."
"Yes, my lord is ranked thirty-nine, but as I said before I came, the order of ranking doesn't mean anything. I hope Lord Zi Chen can give me a favor." The visitor was very polite, respectful, and even humble.
As for the arrogant ninth level from before, his whole body was already wet with cold sweat.
He knew the guy next to him. On weekdays, he acted very arrogantly based on his status as an adult. He wished his eyes could grow on top of his head, and he didn't take everyone, including himself, into consideration.
But today in front of Zi Chen, he lowered all his posture, even lowering his posture as an adult.
The thick sweat on his body made him extremely uncomfortable, but he did not dare to move. Only then did he realize that he had been wrong from the beginning.
Even Zi Chen, who is facing this situation, is not afraid of anyone.
Just like Long Fei back then, he was alone, just one person, but no one or force dared to provoke him.
This is the attitude that the strongest man should have.
Sure enough, messengers came one after another, but today they all behaved very humbly.
Compared with others, he was like a fool. He didn't see any situation and still expected to use his status as an adult to suppress Zi Chen.
You must know that among this respectful crowd, there is another strong man who represents the twenty-first rank.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen representatives of the powerful people on the list came over, all inviting Zi Chen to come over and talk.
Looking at the dozen or so humble ninth-level people, Manshi curled his lips and said, "Aren't the strong ones on the list so high up there that they are like divine dragons that never see their tail? What kind of tricks are they doing? There are so many of them popping up all at once. What's their motive?"
Everyone was half bowed, waiting for Zi Chen's reply, including the arrogant Jiuzhong before. But at this moment, he had already put down all his arrogance and kept his posture as low as possible.
Zi Chen's gaze swept across the crowd, and there was an expression on Zi Chen's face that looked like a smile but not a smile. After a moment, he said, "Go back and tell your lords that if you really want to see me, come and see me in person. As for the invitation, I still don't need to."
"Well……."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and raised their heads in astonishment. A few people even showed a little anger in their eyes, thinking that Zi Chen was too ignorant of praise.
They had lowered their stance as instructed, but Zi Chen not only refused, but also asked the adults to come in person.
What did he think he was, the number one strong man.
You must know that all the powerful men represented behind the monks present are ranked far higher than Zi Chen.
Among them, the agent ranked twenty-one showed the most obvious anger, because in his opinion, even if these twelve powerful people on the list came together, they might not be his own opponent.
And what Zi Chen did was indeed a pass.
"Haha, my little friend is right. If you want to meet someone, you must come in person. This kind of invitation is so insincere." An old voice sounded.
Everyone didn't dare to get angry at Zi Chen, but it didn't mean that they were all good-tempered. When they heard this strange voice, their faces immediately showed obvious anger, and they all turned around to see who it was that didn't know the heights of the world, or life and death. Guys, you dare to interrupt here.
But as soon as they turned around and saw the old man's face, they were shocked. They stared at the approaching old man with wide eyes and disbelief. Then they immediately woke up, quickly saluted, and said respectfully: "Greetings, sir."
The old man who came was Zang Yongsi, ranked eleventh on the handsome list, a true dragon that never sees its end.
Everyone never expected to see the powerful person on the list coming in person at this time.
Zang Yongsi waved his hands casually and said with some dissatisfaction: "I just finished handling some things, and unexpectedly you guys took advantage of me. Okay, it's none of your business here. It's all over. If I really want to see Zi Chen, I'll go back and tell you." Sir, let them come in person."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, turned around and left without saying another word.
Zang Yongsi came to Zi Chen, looked at the group of people up and down, and after a while he sighed: "Not bad, really not bad, the younger generation is terrible. It seems that it won't be long before we old guys will give up."
Zi Chen smiled lightly: "Thank you."
Zang Yongsi asked: "Have you finished handling your matter?"
Zi Chen said: "I have to go to the city gate to pick up someone."
"I'll go with you." Zang Yongsi came to see Zi Chen for something, so he followed Zi Chen all the time.
…
…
Zi Chen stood at the gate of the city with eleven strong men on the list. When the other monks and guards saw him, they all retreated to both sides.
They looked at the group of people with awe and enthusiasm in their eyes.
These are the strong ones on the list.
They have never seen so many powerful people on the list gathered together.
Zang Yongsi, who was standing next to Zi Chen, had already vaguely guessed who Zi Chen was waiting for.
Thinking about the legend about that man, he shook his head.
Not long after, a person appeared at the end of his sight. He was an old man, wearing a white robe, with a red face, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
After approaching, everyone saw the old man's appearance clearly, which caused many exclamations of surprise.
The person coming is Xin Ke, the shopkeeper of Xin Ke’s shop.
Almost all monks who have stayed in the seventh level city know old man Xinke and Xinke's shop.
They did not expect that a group of more than ten powerful people on the list would be corresponding with Xin Ke, that ordinary old man outside the city.
Xinke stood at the city gate, looking up at the tall city wall, his eyes filled with infinite emotion.
Thinking back to the last time I left here, it seems to have been tens of thousands of years ago. I thought I would never be able to set foot in this city again in my life, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come today.
"Old man, welcome to this nine-level city." Zi Chen looked at Xin Ke in front of him.
Xin Ke put away his emotion, his eyes fell on Zi Chen, and he praised: "What a good boy, you did a great job."
Although he deliberately suppressed it, he still couldn't hide the excitement in Xin Ke's heart.
Sure enough, Sink shouted loudly next: "Everyone, I'm here, I, Sink, am back."
Sink's voice echoed in this city, and many people were confused. Is it difficult to come to this city?
No one knows when Sink left this city. Over the years, due to some reasons, he could only stay in the seventh city, or even in Sink's shop.
"Xin Ke, welcome back." Zang Yongsi said beside Zi Chen.
"Thanks."
Xin Ke came back, and was welcomed back by more than a dozen strong men on the list. The news spread instantly.
For those years, Xinke had already broken the rules, but some forces in the city chose to remain silent.
Xin Ke and Zi Chen are together. At this moment, who would be foolish enough to cause trouble for themselves.
After entering the city, looking at the familiar environment, Xinke's excitement gradually turned into disappointment.
The city of Jiuzhong has not changed, the things remain the same, but the people are gone.
Those aggressive guys back then were dead and gone, and not a single one was seen anymore.
For a moment, Sink felt lonely as he had never felt before.
"What are you going to do next, or what are you telling us to do?" Zi Chen knew that Xin Ke had something on his mind, a story, and even an enemy.
Along the way, Xin Ke took good care of him. Now that he has the ability, Zi Chen doesn't mind doing excessive things for Xin Ke.
Xinke felt disappointed, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's all over."
Soon, Xinke calmed down and said, "You should calculate how much benefit I can get this time. Remember, it's 50-50, so you can't default on your debt."
Seeing Xin Ke's mood returning again, Zi Chen patted his chest and said, "Of course I, Zi Chen, keep what I say, but this time the harvest is bigger and it will take a few days to sort it out. Old man, are you mentally prepared? Don't let the time come. I fainted from joy."
"Look at your achievements, old man, I've never seen anything big."
Next, Manshi and others stayed to get familiar with the power after the breakthrough.
Zi Chen, Xin Ke, and Zang Yongsi came to a tavern.
"What's the matter? Tell me." The three of them sat down and Zi Chen got straight to the point.
