Yuan Jin also sensed the danger, and secretly communicated to Xiao Chen: "It seems that this is a banquet today." ”

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and stared at Zhao Wouji, no matter how he said that he was also the city lord of Wumeng Valley, he didn't believe that Zhao Wouji was really so bold and dared to kill him here.

Zhao Wuji really didn't have that guts, after all, his identity could be faked, but the city lord ring of Wumeng Valley could not be counterfeited no matter what.

In every city, the lord of the city will have a ring on his hand, representing status and power. And as long as these rings are in the realm of the Heavenly Sage, no matter which city they go to, they are all common, and as long as they are tested, they can be tested to be true or false.

Before the selection of the city lord of Wumeng Valley was determined, the city lord ring had always been kept with Ouyang Heng. Now that the ring is in Xiao Chen's hand, it is obviously given to Xiao Chen by Ouyang Heng himself, even if Zhao Wuji has the intention of killing Xiao Chen, he doesn't dare to be so blatant, isn't that provoking Ouyang Heng's authority?

However, if you want to humiliate someone, there are many ways, Zhao Ling was kind enough to invite Xiao Chen to the banquet, wanting to make friends with this powerful young man. Zhao Wuji just took advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Chen's failure to leave Ningyang City to attack and humiliate Xiao Chen.

"I don't know your surname?" asked Zao Wou-Ki condescendingly, looking at Xiao Chen with a critical look in his eyes, and he did not hide his disdain for Xiao Chen at all.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth hooked, and he was not angry because of Zhao Wuji's provocative gaze, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The surname is Xiao, and he came up from Tianjian for no more than half a year." ”

When Zao Wou-Ki asked, Xiao Chen guessed what Zao Wou-Ki was thinking, and he simply answered all the questions before Zao Wou-Ki finished asking.

Xiao Chen's 'rush answer' made Zao Wou-Ki a little unhappy, although he did want to ask these questions, but Xiao Chen's answer made him very satisfied. It turned out to be a poor boy from Tianjian, no wonder he had never heard of this competitor before, maybe Ouyang Heng wanted not to offend the major families, so he would push a young man from Tianjian.

Zhao Wuji secretly speculated about Ouyang Heng's intention to appoint Xiao Chen as the city lord of Wumeng Valley, and he thought that Xiao Chen was very likely to be the cannon fodder that Ouyang Heng launched out of desperation to resist the attack, after all, in the imperial capital, except for the original family, almost all the other families were competing for the city lord.

If any one of the Heavenly Saints is allowed to serve as the other family, it is possible for other families to spread their anger on each other's heads, even if the other party is a big family, they will definitely not be able to withstand the calculations from several families, even if the emperor has the heart, he will refuse, and people from other countries are obviously impossible to serve as the city lord of the Heavenly Saint.

Since Xiao Chen is from Tianjian, he has nothing to do with everyone in Tiansheng, his background is innocent, and he has some strength, such a candidate is most in line with the emperor's intentions.

Ouyang Heng gave Xiao Chen benefits, Xiao Chen was equivalent to Ouyang Heng's person, and he did not belong to any force except Ouyang Heng. And Xiao Chen came from Tianjian, and he definitely didn't know about the situation inside the Heavenly Sage, maybe he didn't know about the matter of several major families and several princes fighting for the city lord, and the emperor gave him the position of the city lord, and he followed.

Pushing a stranger to power, this practice must not offend any family, even if those families have anger, they only sprinkle the anger on Xiao Chen's head, and will not blame the emperor, I have to say, the emperor's abacus is really loud!

The more Zhao Wuji thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, and his eyes became even more contemptuous when he looked at Xiao Chen, this was just cannon fodder that attracted the wars of the major families, maybe the emperor didn't put it in his eyes. Even if he died, with his background from Tianjian, no one in the Mixed Yuan Realm would avenge him, and even if the people of Tianjian wanted to take revenge, they wouldn't be able to come up, and they didn't even know the news of Xiao Chen's death.

"Since the monarch is willing to hand over the position of the city lord of Wumeng Valley to you, I think Your Excellency should have some ability, why not show us one or two?" Zhao Wouji said with a smile, his tone as contemptuous as if he was directing the singer raised in the mansion.

Yuan Jin's face turned red with anger, and he opened his mouth to scold back, but Xiao Chen took the first step to hold down his shoulder.

Xiao Chen calmly faced Zao Wou-ki's difficulties, and his attitude was always neither humble nor arrogant.

"The exercises I practice will only be used when I am killing, if the city lord has to ask me to perform, but I am ready to see blood?" Xiao Chen replied with a smile, but his hand was already on Changci's body, as if he was ready to perform at any time.

After Changci recognized the lord Xiao Chen, he restrained his demonic energy, except for the fact that it was a little weird black, it seemed to be no different from other swords, and it was not conspicuous to look at, if Xiao Chen didn't say it, others would not know that the black sword in his hand was actually the ancient demon sword Changci.

Xiao Chen's words were simply a naked threat to Zhao Wouji, the people who came to the banquet today were basically alchemists, compared to ordinary people, they were quite powerful, but in front of a monk like Xiao Chen, they were not enough to see at all.

When he spoke, Xiao Chen deliberately swept around the hall with cold eyes, especially those who provoked him, and when he swept to those people, he hooked the corners of his mouth even more evilly, and knocked his fingers on Changci's sword.

Zao Wou-ki's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to ignore Xiao Chen's threat, but the frightened eyes of the people below made him unable to ignore it.

Since he was able to let Ouyang Heng hand over Wumeng Valley to him, he was also able to come to the Mixed Yuan Realm from a place like Tianjian, and I heard Ling'er say that this person had cultivated to the beginning of the Taichu, maybe he was really a person who killed people without blinking.

He was extremely depressed in his heart, but Zhao Wuji didn't dare to follow Xiao Chen's words, the people who came to the banquet today were basically the outstanding sons of several families in the city, if these people had an accident at their banquet, those families would definitely come to trouble him, and his position as the city lord would also be in jeopardy.

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak, Yuan Jin finally felt a little more relaxed, patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, and looked relieved, "Brother, you didn't let me down!"

Xiao Chen just smiled slightly, he has never been a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, anyone who wants to give him a horse will be taught by him to be a man and know what a real horse is called.

"I heard that the city lord of Ningyang is an alchemist. Xiao Chen looked at Zao Wou-Ki and spoke quietly.

The corners of Zhao Wuji's forehead jumped, and he always felt that Xiao Chen couldn't say anything good in his mouth, but after thinking about it, he still habitually mocked: "What's the matter? Have you never even seen an alchemist?" Heh, I almost forgot, but you came from Tianjian, and in your broken place, you may not even have heard the word alchemist, right?"

Xiao Chen was not annoyed, but said calmly: "If you haven't heard of it, you won't bother the city lord to worry about it." Xiao is not talented, he knows a little about alchemy, and he wants to learn from the city lord, but I don't know if the city lord dares to fight?"

He stood under the stage, obviously looking up at Zao Wou-Ki, but for no reason he gave people the illusion that he was standing higher than Zao Wou-Ki, as if the person who was really looked down on was not Xiao Chen, but Zao Wou-ki.
