Chapter 1568

Shun Tiandao leaned back against the rock and looked up at the sky. "You guys haven't gone out to train enough. If you train more, you'll know that there's always someone better out there."

Listening to Shun Tiandao's lecture was a common occurrence. The other four were already used to it and chose to ignore him.

However, the cultivators who were grilling the meat were somewhat dissatisfied. Shun Tiandao always used Zi Chen to lecture them, but he didn't do anything and only arranged for them to do it.

This time, when someone used Zi Chen to counter Shun Tiandao, the latter smiled faintly and said, "Zi Chen is also a leader. He can't do everything himself. Besides, Zi Chen isn't only good at fighting and grilling meat, he's also very good at commanding. It's obvious that I'm more inclined to command now."

That cultivator was instantly speechless.

When Shun Tiandao was paying attention to the development of the five people from Shun Tiandao, the name Zi Chen was the name he heard the most from Shun Tiandao.

They used to look down on Zi Chen, but after Shun Tiandao told them about what had happened in the Manor Realm, their impression of Zi Chen changed.

Obviously, Shun Tiandao wouldn't lie about what he said.

Shun Tiandao didn't know that there were people in the outside world investigating, so he didn't hesitate to tell the four of them.

Fortunately, he knew his limits, and didn't mention the fact that Zi Chen was able to use domains at will even though he was in the Prefectural Realm.

While Shun Tiandao was lamenting, a gentle voice sounded from afar. "I could smell the smell of grilled meat from afar. I was wondering who was enjoying themselves so much."

Shun Tiandao was stunned. He slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw a familiar figure, he immediately laughed out loud.

"Listen, all four of you, listen. I didn't say anything wrong, right? This guy is too kind. When Little Four roasted meat, you could smell the burnt smell from far away, but he actually said that he smelled the fragrance of the meat."

Shun Tiandao stood up abruptly and laughed as well.

The other four also stood up immediately and sized up the team of six.

When the two sides met, it was natural for them to exchange greetings.

As for the heavy responsibility of roasting the meat, it fell on Wu Xie's shoulders. Speaking of which, after following Zi Chen for so long, his skills were pretty good.

"Along the way, I hardly met any other cultivators. Why did you suddenly come to my place?" Tossing a pot of wine to Zi Chen, Shundao asked.

Zi Chen took the flagon and said after uncorking it, "Would you believe me if I said that I came here specifically to see you?"

"Looking for me? That's impossible."

Shuntiandao was skeptical. "You've already broken through to the next realm, and your combat power is unparalleled. Why are you still looking for me? Could it be that you want to give me an opportunity?"

Zi Chen smiled and said, "It's really not an opportunity. I just took a fancy to your righteousness, so I came to see you."

Shn Tiandao's face turned solemn as he asked, "Righteous and awe-inspiring, you mean …"

Since there were no outsiders present, Zi Chen said directly, "I suspect that this place has something to do with the foreign tribes."

Shuntiandao's face immediately turned cold. "The foreign tribes, it's the foreign tribes again."

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Then you agree."

Shuntiandao also joked, "Since Leader Zi Chen has spoken, Shuntiandao will not dare to disobey."

This joke caused the expressions of many cultivators in the outside world to change.

From this joke, it was obvious that Zi Chen was indeed the leader of the group in the Manor Realm.

Seeing that Zi Chen did not bring anyone else, Shuntiandao asked again, "Did you come to see me because you're only missing one person?"

"I'm missing a lot of people, so I met you first. Next, I went to look for Fortune Teller, Jin Qingcheng, Dark Mantle, Hidden Mist, and the others."

Each name that Zi Chen casually mentioned was a person who carried the weight of a faction. Moreover, the fact that he casually mentioned them showed that Zi Chen was related to them.

Lu Ming had been following Zi Chen all this time, and this was the first time he saw Shuntiandao, the number one person in Shuntiandao, up close. Although the youth in linen clothes looked kind, he still made Lu Ming feel pressured.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Shuntiandao asked when they were going to set off. Zi Chen slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "I almost forgot to tell you that if you follow me, you will have to return. This may affect your ranking."

Shuntiandao laughed heartily when he heard this, but he did not reply to Zi Chen's smiling face. Instead, he looked at the four people and said, "Do you see that? This is Zi Chen. He never misses anything, so how could he forget this? The reason why he only said this now is to let the four of you be mentally prepared."

The four people looked at each other. It seemed that this was meant for them to hear.

With the five people from Shuntiandao on the road, the battle strength of this team was simply too strong.

Thus, they really ran amok all the way.

Soon, they found the number one Fortune Teller. The latter was doing his best to kill exotic beasts. It was obvious that he cared a lot about his ranking.

Thus, Zi Chen and the others watched from afar, while Shuntiandao pointed at Fortune Teller from time to time. During this time, he couldn't help but make fun of him.

For example, Shuntiandao shouted from afar, "Hey, Fortune Teller, you finally calculated that we would come to find you today. Is it because you haven't mastered the Dao of Heavenly Divination yet?"

When these words reached the ears of the cultivators in Destiny City, their expressions immediately became disgusted.

Fortune Teller was known as the strongest person in Destiny City. His Dao of Heavenly Divination was at the top of the entire Shuntian Prefecture, and even the entire Zhanwu Continent. How could he be made fun of like this? Even if he was Shuntiandao, it was still unacceptable.

When the cultivators in the city were disgusted, they even said that the relationship between the two cities wasn't very good.

When the battle was over, Fortune Teller walked over and asked curiously, "Why are you all here?"

Man Shi laughed. "You're the Fortune Teller. Why don't you do it?"

Fortune Teller smiled wryly. "I have to do that too."

"You're the Fortune Teller," Man Shi said.

Thus, the cultivators in Destiny City grew even more disgusted. They pointed at Man Shi on the screen and shouted, "Watch your tone, you big idiot!"

However, no matter how loudly they shouted, the people in the small world couldn't hear them.

Fortune Teller naturally wouldn't refuse Zi Chen's request.

Thus, the group of five left with Zi Chen just like that.

Destiny City was in an uproar.

"What the hell? Why should they follow that guy?"

"Yeah, it looks like they're the ones in charge."

The city was abuzz with chatter.

Zi Chen then went to the Dark Mantle and found the other factions that had gone through thick and thin with them in the Manor Realm.

The fact that Zi Chen had come in person was enough to show how serious the situation was. Thus, no one refused.

Zi Chen also found those he trusted. They were the factions that had sacrificed themselves in the final moments of the Manor Realm.

Every cultivator in Huping City was in a state of excitement.

Zi Chen was the leader of the geniuses in the Prefectural World. News of this had spread throughout Huping City. The entire city was proud of this.

However, that was just hearsay. It wasn't as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.

On the screen, Zi Chen went to meet faction after faction, chatting casually with one expert after another, then leaving with them. These experts didn't hesitate to give up on the city rankings.

After all, their true purpose in coming here was to get a city ranking. However, they'd all given up because of Zi Chen's words.

Huping City was filled with excitement and pride.

Meanwhile, in Shuntian Prefecture, the cultivators looked at Zi Chen in a different light when they saw this scene.

Zi Chen's popularity alone was destined to be limitless in the future.

"This little fellow is quite popular." The Shuntian Prefecture lord chuckled.

The scholarly middle-aged man beside him said, "Popularity is built on the basis of admiration. If you have the time, you can go and see what the little fellow has done in the Manor Realm. Speaking of which, the twenty rankings given back then weren't much at all. If it were me, I'd be willing to make an exception and raise it by fifty. I'd be willing to take any pressure no matter what."

The Shuntian Prefecture lord asked curiously, "Oh, what exactly did he do?"

The scholarly middle-aged man said, "He stopped a calamity that was supposed to happen in the Zhanwu Continent in advance."

Before the Shuntian Prefecture lord could ask further, Zi Chen, who was leading a large group in the small world, was finally rejected.

"Why should they go with you?" A dissatisfied voice was heard.

Naturally, the voice belonged to Ye Ming. At that moment, there was probably only one person in the entire Shuntian Prefecture who dared to reject Zi Chen after seeing such a lineup.

Man Shi glared at Ye Ming and said, "What are you yelling for? We're not here to invite you."

Next to him, Wu Xie also said with a smile, "We're here to invite Qingcheng. As for you, forget it. We're going to deal with the foreign tribes, and we're looking for the people we trust the most. As for you, forget it. We're afraid that you'll stab us in the back at a critical moment."

Ye Ming was exasperated and said angrily, "Wu Xie, make yourself clear. Who's going to stab you in the back?"

Wu Xie sneered and said, "Of course you're not going to stab us in the back, but if we encounter danger and you're scared away, won't that affect our morale?"

Ye Ming knew what Wu Xie was referring to, and his face turned pale.

"I'll go with you." Jin Qingcheng nodded without hesitation.

"I'll go too." Next to her, a cultivator from the Jin family nodded.

"Qingcheng, do you know what you're doing? Our purpose this time is to get a ranking," Ye Ming said with dissatisfaction.

"What's the use of a ranking if we don't get rid of the foreign tribes?" Jin Qingcheng said coldly. Then, she left the group and walked toward Zi Chen.

"They already have so many people. Do you think they don't need the two of you?" Wu Xie's voice was heard again.

"It's everyone's responsibility to kill the foreign tribes."

When the cultivators in Golden Leaf City saw this scene, there were two kinds of voices in the city. One was disdain for Ye Ming, and the other was admiration for Jin Qingcheng.
