Twilight was approaching, and Yuan Chen came to the City Lord's Mansion alone, compared to the birthday banquet a few days ago, today's City Lord's Mansion was extremely deserted.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a steward trotted out to greet him.

"Yuan Gongzi, the city lord has been waiting for you for a long time, please enter the mansion quickly. ”

Yuan Chen followed the steward, through the outer courtyard, to the inner courtyard study of the City Lord's Mansion, which was the place where many big people discussed during the last birthday banquet, and Yuan Chen came in for the first time.

As soon as he came in, Yuan Chen felt that there was more than one soundproof formation arranged in the study, and under the layers of protection, even the masters of the peak of the god could not spy on the situation in the study.

"Master, Yuan Gongzi is here. The steward said softly.

Only then did Yuan Chen find that he was watching the history of Zhong Gu in the shadows, this old guy was really good at cultivation, even Yuan Chen didn't find out where he was in the study just now.

"Well, it's none of your business here, you can go down. Zhong Gushi ordered the steward to leave.

After the steward closed the door and the formation in the room was completely operational, Zhong Gushi smiled at Yuan Chen: "Yuan Shaoxia, your reputation has spread loudly in the past few days, and all the forces around Dongxing City are very interested in you. ”

"And not so much so in the glory of the lord of the city. "Although Yuanchen is arrogant, he will not hold it up.

"Haha, okay, arrogant but not arrogant, there will be a place for you among the people who will influence the pattern of the rivers and lakes in the future. Zhong Gu Shi laughed.

Yuan Chen responded modestly: "The Zhong City Lord has won the award, Yuan Chen just wants to cultivate quietly, and strive to catch up with the master one day and live up to his expectations." ”

"Yuan Shaoxia is so talented, and he cultivates hard, your master doesn't know which sword master Ling Jianfeng is?" Zhong Gushi said curiously, with his relationship, he didn't find out the details of Yuan Chen, he only knew that he was born in a small country in the mundane, and he worshiped Ling Jianfeng by chance, but it is unknown which sect of elders he worshipped in.

Although Zhong Gushi is behind the Seven Kings Society, when it comes to intelligence ability, it is far inferior to the sect, and not many people know that Yuan Chen is the head of the sect has passed on the matter, not to mention that Yuan Chen has never appeared in Ling Jianfeng since he entered the sect of Meng Jiuge, and ordinary disciples don't know where Yuan Chen came from, let alone his teacher.

Although there is no clear information, Zhong Gushi can still deduce that Yuan Chen should be the personal disciple of a certain sword master. That yen dust duel against Luo Jinghong, Yuan Chen can suppress one head, this kind of strength is not what any inner disciple should have, he Zhong Gu Shi knows Luo Jinghong's true identity, behind him is a figure that even he can't provoke, Yuan Chen can overwhelm him, which is enough to show that his natural strength is already at the top level.

"The family teacher doesn't like others to ask him too much, and the city lord still doesn't want Yuan Chen to do well. Yuan Chen explained, the identity of the head of the family sometimes not only brings the awe of others, but also a lot of disasters, Meng Jiuge must have had a lot of enemies when he was young, Ling Jianfeng has stood in the mortal realm for so long, saying that there is no enemy Yuan Chen does not believe it, if the identity is exposed, maybe someone will assassinate Yuan Chen against Ling Jianfeng's pursuit.

Meng Jiuge's other six disciples were all sword wielders, and their own strength was enough to protect themselves, and it was better for Yuan Chen to conceal this layer of identity before he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm. After all, those who dare to kill people in Ling Jianfeng and under the name of Meng Jiuge must also be a supreme level figure in the mortal realm, and their own little strength will definitely be dead and lifeless at that time.

Zhong Gushi saw what Yuanchen's master had explained to him, and he didn't ask anymore with interest, it didn't matter who Yuanchen was taught to him, the important thing was that Yuanchen's talent and strength were worth his investment, and a master with a deep background was enough.

"Yuan Shaoxia, I called you here at this time because I have something to ask Yuan Shaoxia. Zhong Gu Shi said.

Yuan Chen thought that he finally showed his tail: "What does the city lord Zhong order, Yuan Chen has received a generous gift from the city lord, and he will naturally be rewarded." ”

"Huh. Zhong Gushi handed out a jade slip, "You look at it first, if you are interested, we will talk about it." ”

Yuan Chen took the jade slip, and immediately read a large amount of information after his divine sense was invested.

As Yuan Chen expected, this jade slip recorded what the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Things Pavilion had told him before, but it didn't mention the innate source spiritual liquid. This old fox still has some reservations, and the things introduced are relatively superficial things, but it is better than the quantity, and the information provided by the shopkeeper Yan has advantages and disadvantages.

For example, Yuan Chen can clearly know the location this time, in the deep mountains less than a hundred miles south of Lang Cave Valley, as well as the map situation and power division of all the surrounding regions, although this is not a secret, it is what Yuan Chen needs most at the moment. Yuan Chen didn't go to Lang Cave Valley in advance because he wanted to make such a map in Dongxing City first, and then make plans to touch the situation around Lang Cave Valley, and now with this news, Yuan Chen thought that he was fortunate that he was not impulsive, the situation around Lang Cave Valley is now tense, and many forces are intertwined, and one injustice is a catastrophe.

"City Lord Zhong, Yuan Chen is interested in this matter. Yuan Chen said with a smile, although he had promised the shopkeeper Yan before, but the information provided by the two sides had their own strengths, and the two parties should have a greater grasp of it, and now it seems that Langguo Valley not only has what his father left for him, but also has a big opportunity waiting for him next to him.

It's just that Yuan Chen can't figure it out, since the top forces of the Seven Kings Society, the Zongtang and the Mirror Moon Boat are making such a big deal at this time, why didn't he have any news in his previous life, thinking about his memory, Yuan Chen was sure that there had been no such large-scale secret realm exploration around Lang Cave Valley in his previous life, which involved the top forces of the three parties.

With the experience of signing a treaty with the Pavilion of All Things, Yuan Chen's discussion with the City Lord Zhong this time was also very smooth.

The main purpose of the Zhong City Lord is that Yuan Chen can join this secret realm exploration as a third party, and then assist Zhong Ruji in the secret realm, and after the matter is completed, Yuan Chen's reward is no less than that of the Ten Thousand Things Pavilion.

Zhong Ruji's strength is not bad, Yuan Chen is expected to have at least the cultivation of the peak of the Divine Palace Realm, this trip to the secret realm should be to take advantage of the opportunity to be promoted to the Divine Realm, and only the cultivation of the Divine Realm can ensure that Zhong Gushi can keep the position of the city lord in Dongxing City after he leaves the throne.

Yuan Chen's quota Zhong Gu Shi will get one for him from the Seven Kings Society, plus the one quota promised by the treasurer of the Ten Thousand Pavilions before, so that Yuan Chen has two places. Yuan Chen thought that he could pull Li Xinzhu to go with him, after all, Li Xinzhu had broken through not long ago, and her strength had been seen with her own eyes, and she could burst out with a lot of power at a critical moment, which could be regarded as a hole card.

In fact, the secret place here was originally discovered by the people of the Seven Kings Society, but at that time, the Seven Kings Society was trading with the people of the sect, and the sect also knew that Jingyuefang was the last force to join, and it was also a giant in the Zhongzhou Continent, and Jingyuefang had a lot of pink business under his name, and Fengyuefang had always been a place where famous disciples lingered, and it was not easy to hide from them.

In this way, the secret realm became a large-scale operation led by the three of them and divided by many local forces. Later, when the tripartite forces were tempted, they also discovered the danger of the secret realm, which damaged some geniuses, and attracted a lot of Tianjiao from other forces in the Zhongzhou Continent to have the current scale.

Ling Jianfeng was far away in other continents, so he did not participate in this large-scale secret realm expedition, Yuan Chen remembered that at the birthday banquet, Zhong Gushi called all the speakers of the local forces into the study to talk secretly, and it was estimated that nine times out of ten they talked about this matter.

Yuan Chen couldn't help but get excited when he thought about this, this was a conference that brought together all the Tianjiao in the Zhongzhou Continent, and three of the top ten forces were dispatched in full force, plus Ling Jianfeng, the Beihai Alliance, and even the Dinglong Empire, which was not far from the Zhongzhou Continent, and the Blood God Palace, which may have received the news, it could be said that almost eighty percent of the peak forces in the mortal realm had gathered.

According to what the shopkeeper Yan said, the space of the secret land has a heaven and earth prohibition that can only accommodate the genius disciples under the god realm, which means that the entire Tianjiao demons under the mortal god realm will appear in this secret land expedition, and even Yuan Chen feels a lot of pressure on this occasion.

"Yuan Shaoxia, there is one thing I need to remind you, there are too many forces involved in this expedition, and there will be a lot of people on the list. Zhong Gushi said in a deep voice.

"Billboard. Yuan Chen also looked solemn, the mortal realm for all Tianjiao's rankings, there is no shortage of powerhouses with the God Realm or even the God Breaking Realm.

"The names of all the geniuses and heroes in the rivers and lakes are engraved on the list, I don't know where Yuan Shaoxia is ranked?" Zhong Gushi suddenly asked, the compiler of the list is a very large organization, it is said that it has infiltrated all the forces in the rivers and lakes, and many young disciples who have never descended the mountain will only be recorded as if they have potential.

"This ......" Yuan Chen choked for a while, he really didn't know if anyone ranked himself on the list now, "I don't know if anyone has put me on the list." ”

The Mortal Realm Billboard contains a total of 9,600 Absolute Heavenly Pride, and there are cultivation from the Divine Palace Realm to the Broken God Realm, and there are two conditions for entering the list, one is that the age is not more than 100 years old, and the other is that the talent and strength are recognized by the compiler.

Even if there is no clear division, the ranking of the 1,000 on the Jianghu Storm List by default is uniformly planned in the Divine Palace Realm, and the 1,000 to the top 100 are the areas of the Transformation God Realm, and the top 100 are all young God-Breaking Realm powerhouses with great prestige on the rivers and lakes.

Even though these rankings are only based on years of experience, there are still some top talents who can leapfrog the challenge and rush to the front position.

Yuan Chen remembered that Senior Brother Jiang Di had achieved more than 100 rankings in the Mortal Realm Billboard last time he went down the mountain, and it could be said that he was amazingly talented.

In his previous life, Yuan Chen already had the cultivation of the Divine Palace Realm when he first came out of the Blood God Palace, and he directly hit more than 1,700 people, and before he was promoted to the Transformation God Realm, Yuan Chen and Nie Yun were in the top 1,000 positions.

For his current ranking, Yuan Chen also wants to find a comparison with his strength, because when it comes to cultivating himself, he is only a small member of the Ning Yuan Realm, and he is not qualified to enter the list.

"I see. Zhong Gushi doesn't care, the Fengyun list has always been open to the outside world, it's not a secret, Yuan Chen didn't say it probably because he really didn't know, "I remember that my son Ruji is almost three thousand on the Fengyun list, and Yuan Shaoxia's strength is estimated to be at this level." ”

Yuan Chen could hear the meaning of Zhong Gushi's words, he was showing Zhong Ruji's strength so that he could be jealous, and in his eyes, his strength was probably inferior to Zhong Ruji's.

He also attaches considerable importance to Zhong Ruji Yuanchen, don't look at him as a gentleman, but his cultivation talent is really not bad, under Zhong Gushi's best efforts, he can be regarded as a character, before Zhong Gushi said that he has the strength of the peak of the Divine Palace, it seems that it is not a boast, and Zhong Ruji did not personally take action at the birthday banquet, if he really fights, Yuanchen will probably suffer.
