Chapter 1687

With a glance, Zi Chen saw the old man. In the next moment, he felt a dangerous aura from the old man.

Zi Chen thought that he wouldn't be afraid if he saw Xu Hou, but with just a glance at the old man, he actually had such a feeling.

Moreover, the old man was so close to the General Leaderboard. It was obvious that he didn't just arrive there. He had been standing there for a long time, but he didn't notice it at all.

Sure enough, in this Battlefield of Despair, there were countless experts. No matter what, one couldn't be careless.

However, with the Heavenly Thunder Wings, Zi Chen wasn't afraid.

With a step, he teleported to the old man's side.

Mo Sha and Si Ken felt the murderous aura from Zi Chen and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Zi Chen greets senior." Zi Chen cupped his fists and bowed.

The old man waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to accept the title of senior. I believe that it won't be long before you can see little friend on the General Leaderboard."

Zi Chen smiled modestly.

Mo Sha and Si Ken were shocked when they heard this. This meant that Zi Chen would soon break through to the Ninth Heaven.

"May I know why senior is looking for me?" Zi Chen asked.

The old man smiled and said, "This old man is Zang Yongsi, from the Imperial Sky Alliance."

Zi Chen took a step back with a vigilant expression.

"Don't misunderstand. This old man is from the Imperial Sky Alliance, but I'm definitely not from the five great clans."

"This is different." Zi Chen looked at the old man.

"The five great clans belong to the Imperial Sky Alliance. The Imperial Sky Alliance doesn't only consist of the five great clans."

Zi Chen nodded. It seemed like the five great clans couldn't cover the sky with one hand in the Imperial Sky Region.

"I'm guessing that you'll definitely go deep into the five great clans' headquarters next." The old man asked.

"That's right. I'm going to take back the interest that belongs to me." Zi Chen didn't deny it.

"What about now?" The old man asked again.

Zi Chen's expression changed. If he hadn't met the old man, Zi Chen would have advanced without hesitation. But now, he was a little hesitant.

The elder was very strong, but he might not be able to kill him. He had the ability to teleport, so he could still run if he was in danger. However, whether Heavenly Dao and the others could successfully escape was another matter.

Ever since the old man registered himself, Mosha and Sken had been looking at Zi Chen, as if waiting for something.

But no, Zi Chen was very calm. This made the two of them very disappointed. At the same time, they couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Although you have a lot of potential and can be compared to Long Fei back then, you shouldn't be so calm when you hear the three words Zang Yongsi.

At this moment, Zi Chen's expression changed as he cried out in alarm, "Zang Yongsi, ranked eleventh on both the Soldier and General Rankings."

Zi Chen finally remembered why this name sounded so familiar. It turned out that it was a powerhouse on the list.

However, apart from Xu Hou, who was a thousand-year-old expert, the rest of the people on the list were all people from ten thousand years ago.

Could it be that this old man was someone from Long Fei's era?

Just as Zi Chen was guessing whether the other party was also on the Commander Rankings, a guard leader beside him said, "Sir's position on the Commander Rankings is also eleventh."

Zi Chen was filled with deep veneration. No wonder he felt danger at first glance when he saw the other party. At that time, he even compared the other party to Xu Hou.

Looking at it now, this old man was ten streets ahead of Xu Hou.

Just as Zi Chen was muttering to himself, the old man said, "Let's go. Let's find a tavern to sit down. There's a deal that you might be interested in."

The plundering of the five factions was nearing its end. There were no longer any threats in the city.

Zi Chen left with the old man. The group of Level Nine city guards also left one after another.

Mosha looked at the huge Commander Rankings and saw that there was only one name, Zi Chen. Then, he looked around and saw the excited and nervous expressions of the cultivators. He said, "It seems that the Commander Rankings will change every day in the future."

Sken nodded and left.

After the city guards left, the impatient Level Eight cultivators swarmed forward and continuously injected their power into the Commander Rankings.

One of the early Level Eight cultivators was the fastest. He entered the Commander Rankings just by injecting a strand of power. Moreover, he was ranked second.

Looking at the golden name that belonged to him, this cultivator smiled proudly. "Haha, I'm also an expert on the Commander Rankings. I'm ranked second, a powerful existence second only to Zi Chen."

A slap landed on this fellow's head. He staggered and immediately turned around with an angry expression on his face.

However, seeing that it was a late Level Eight cultivator behind him, he hurriedly smiled.

"Scram, a coward like you dares to say that you're second only to Sir Zi Chen." The late Level Eight cultivator pushed him aside and pressed his hand on the Commander Rankings.

In just a few breaths, the previously empty Commander Rankings was filled with golden names.

Zi Chen followed Zang Yongsi to a restaurant. Under the nervous and excited expression of the waiter, the two were invited into a private room.

After taking a seat, Zi Chen went straight to the point. "What's the deal?"

Speaking of which, he was now a little sensitive to the word deal. Back then, when he made deals with the Bi and Su Clan of the Five Great Powers, he was often cheated.

"Don't worry, this deal will only benefit you. There's no harm in it."

Zi Chen listened quietly.

"The Wang Clan has Xu Hou, and an existence on the Commander Rankings like me has appeared in the Alliance. I think you should understand that not all of the experts on the Commander Rankings have left the Battlefield of Despair. As long as one of these experts appears, they will undoubtedly be stronger than Xu Hou. If you rashly attack, you will pay a great price."

Looking at the frowning Zi Chen, the old man said, "The deal I'm talking about is to help you restrain the other experts on the Commander Rankings other than Xu Hou."

Zi Chen asked in a deep voice, "What price do I have to pay?"

Zang Yongsi shook his head. "You don't have to pay anything. If you feel bad, you can join the Imperial Sky Alliance."

Hearing this, Zi Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Join the Alliance, work for the Five Great Families, and collude with the foreign races to deal with the humans on our side."

Zang Yongsi could understand Zi Chen's extreme emotions. He smiled faintly and said, "This is only my suggestion. As for the Alliance, I think you will slowly understand as we interact in the future."

"I don't need to understand."

"Up to you. I will arrange this matter next. I hope you won't disappoint me." The old man stood up and said.

"You're just using me as a tool. If you do all this quietly, I won't know at all. Of course, I won't hold a grudge against you. Why are you looking for me?" Zi Chen asked.

"Everyone has the same goal. What tool? You're treating me like an outsider. As for why I'm looking for you, first, I want to meet you as a person. Second, I don't want to cause any misunderstandings."

After speaking, the old man turned and left.

"Oh right, we'll help you settle the responsibility of killing the City Lord."

Walking out of the tavern, Zi Chen quickly sensed the location of Man Shi and the others.

The eleven of them had already plundered everything in the five shops. Apart from the three women who looked happy, the others didn't look very happy.

As soon as Zi Chen arrived, Man Shi complained, "Those guys are really cunning. They took almost all the good stuff."

They had a backup plan. Zi Chen could understand. Even though Man Shi kept complaining, the harvest this time was still very big.

At the very least, it could make up for some of the losses.

As for the real big fish, it was still in the Five Great Families' headquarters.

"Are we going to continue exploring now?"

Everyone was looking forward to it. After endless battles, they had faintly touched the barrier of the Nine Layers.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Let's rest for a few days and properly comprehend it. Oh right, before we leave, remember to leave a mark on the Ranking of Generals."

Zi Chen was first on the Ranking of Generals. With the battle prowess of Shuntiandao and the others, it was very easy for them to enter the top few.

The group stayed in the city for a few days. During this time, the entire city was discussing that battle.

This time, Zi Chen successfully became first on the Ranking of Generals, and even killed a City Lord who was at the peak of the Ninth Layer. Those who had said in private that Zi Chen was just lucky could no longer be heard.

Now, everyone was discussing whether Zi Chen would become the next Long Fei.

Zi Chen and the others rested in the city for five days. During these five days, Zi Chen didn't rest. Instead, he constantly comprehended the power of space.

With the Heavenly Thunder Wings, Zi Chen could more easily see and feel the power of space. What followed was also very fast.

Now, Zi Chen's comprehension of space was no weaker than that of a member of the Soul Devouring Clan. The only difference was that Zi Chen didn't have the Soul Devouring Clan's ability to travel ten thousand miles in an instant.

However, if the Extreme Speed Steps advanced again, it wouldn't be too difficult to travel ten thousand miles in an instant.

Five days later, the group prepared to leave. Before that, they came to the Ranking of Generals.

Five days ago, the scene of Zi Chen killing the City Lord was still vivid in their minds. When Zi Chen came, everyone recognized him. They immediately dispersed and looked at Zi Chen in awe.

The group came before the Ranking of Generals. Looking at this ranking that represented honor, everyone's eyes were somewhat fervent.

"I'll go first."

Man Shi took a step forward and came before the Ranking of Generals.

At this moment, because of the arrival of Zi Chen and the others, everyone had completely dispersed.

In an instant, Man Shi completed his transformation and punched at the Ranking of Generals. The entire Ranking of Generals shook.

After that, amidst the dazzling golden light, Man Shi's name directly jumped to second place, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air.

And the original second place had now become third place. His ranking had dropped by one place.

As long as they were in the same realm, the ranking would not disappear. Instead, it would drop directly.

"Not bad."

Seeing this scene, Wu Xie directly stepped forward. Man Shi looked at Wu Xie very proudly and retreated.

Wu Xie's powerful attack caused his ranking to jump, but it only stopped at third place.

"Damn it." Wu Xie was anxious and somewhat dissatisfied.

He had an Immortal Body, so his attack power was not very strong. He also did not use the power of his vertical pupils. In terms of strength, he was naturally weaker than Man Shi.

The third to step forward was Shuntian. As expected of a titled person from Shuntian City, after his attack, his ranking directly dropped to second place. The original second place was now third place.

"Unlucky." Man Shi was dissatisfied.

Next, Fortune Teller stepped forward. He extracted a trace of power from the Book of Destiny, and as a result, pushed Man Shi down from third place.

Next was Misty Shadow. He was slightly weaker than Fortune Teller, and pushed Man Shi down from fourth place.

In fact, under these circumstances, the ranking did not mean anything. For example, in a real battle, Man Shi might not be stronger than Wu Xie.
