The Celestial Tribute Association looked down on him too much. They had only sent a Half-saint to follow him. How could a Half-saint not be exposed when he was around Xiao Chen? Therefore, Xiao Chen quickly discovered the Half-saint.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that the Celestial Tribute Association looked down on him. It wasn't that they didn't want to send a Saint to follow Xiao Chen, but they had no choice. There were very few Saints in the Land of a Hundred Rivers. As one of the strongest factions in the Land of a Hundred Rivers, the Celestial Tribute Association only had three Saints.
As a result, how could they send a Saint to follow Xiao Chen? Therefore, sending a Half-saint to follow Xiao Chen was already the limit of the Celestial Tribute Association. Moreover, it wasn't the Celestial Tribute Association that wanted to kill Xiao Chen, but the Bai family. Naturally, they couldn't send a Saint.
Xiao Chen calmly continued towards Ming City. This was Zhou Yunzheng's suggestion to Xiao Chen. Because the leader of the Ming Zheng Gang, which was in charge of Ming City, was related to Zhou Yunzheng, Xiao Chen could ask the leader of the Ming Zheng Gang for information about the Heaven Sun Flower if he went to Ming City.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened along the way. When Xiao Chen arrived at a stone forest, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face. His figure quickly disappeared into the stone forest.
Although it was called a stone forest, it was actually formed by numerous boulders gathered together. However, there were so many of them that it seemed like a dense forest of boulders.
As Xiao Chen walked through the stone forest, a black-clothed middle-aged man appeared outside the stone forest a short while after he entered. The middle-aged man frowned slightly as he looked at the stone forest in front of him. Then, he followed Xiao Chen into the stone forest.
He was surrounded by boulders that were dozens of meters tall. The man in black completely lost track of Xiao Chen. He couldn't even sense his aura.
He anxiously searched for Xiao Chen, but to no avail. Anger flashed in the man's eyes. "Damn it, where did that brat go?"
Just as the black-clothed man was at a loss, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from behind him. "Are you looking for me?"
The sudden voice startled the man. He turned around abruptly, and at the same time, his body involuntarily retreated. After putting some distance between him and Xiao Chen, the black-robed man could not help but exclaim in shock.
"Xiao Chen …"
The man who suddenly appeared behind him was naturally Xiao Chen. Upon hearing that the man actually called out his name, Xiao Chen's eyes glinted.
He initially thought that the man was only following him to kill and rob him. After all, it was common to kill and rob in the Land of Hundred Rivers. But now, it seemed that things weren't that simple.
If it was just killing and robbing, then how did this man know his name? This was Xiao Chen's first time in the Land of Hundred Rivers. He didn't know anyone here.
With doubts in his mind, Xiao Chen's gaze gradually turned cold. He approached the man in black and asked. "Who are you? How do you know my name? "
The man in black had no intention of answering Xiao Chen's question. He just gritted his teeth and thought of a countermeasure.
He knew that Xiao Chen was a Chosen on the Holy Rankings. Therefore, even though he was a Half-saint expert, he still had no intention of fighting with Xiao Chen. What a joke! Even a Saint expert wouldn't be able to win against a Chosen on the Holy Rankings, let alone a Half-saint expert.
It wasn't until this moment that the man in black realized that Xiao Chen had already discovered him. It was just that Xiao Chen hadn't said anything. Xiao Chen had entered the stone forest just to lure him out.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he continued to retreat. Looking at the change in the man's expression, Xiao Chen was even more certain of his guess. There was definitely something wrong with the man in black.
"You don't want to say? Very well, then let me see how tough your bones are. "
Everything was strange. Xiao Chen didn't hesitate any longer. As soon as he finished speaking, he chose to attack. The Sword Domain instantly broke out of his body and enveloped the man in black.
Being enveloped by the Sword Domain, the man in black's strength was instantly suppressed by almost 40%. At the same time, the sharp sword Qi within the Sword Domain roared and attacked the man in black from all directions.
His cultivation was half a realm higher than Xiao Chen's, but so what? A Half-saint expert was nothing in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen moved and pointed his finger. He instantly used the Fish Intestine Sword Finger and pierced through the man's abdomen.
It did not take Xiao Chen long to subdue the middle-aged man and cripple his cultivation within a quarter of an hour. Xiao Chen then stepped on the man's chest and asked again, "What about you?"
"Speak. Who are you? Why are you following me?"
He asked the man in black again. However, the man in black still kept his mouth shut. Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't waste any more time. With a thought, the Dustless Sword instantly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his hand, the man in black's leg tendons were severed.
First it was his left foot, then his right foot, and then his hands. The man in black couldn't help but cry out in pain. In the end, he spoke weakly.
"I … I'll say … I'm from the Celestial Sect. The sect leader made a deal with some people two days ago. He wanted me to keep an eye on your whereabouts, so I've been waiting for you at the entrance. When I saw you today, I sent the news back. Since then, I've been following you."
The man in black didn't dare to hold back and spoke truthfully. Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "Who made a deal with your sect leader?"
"This … I don't know. The sect leader didn't tell me," said the man in black.
The man in black only knew to keep an eye on Xiao Chen's whereabouts, but he didn't know the identity of these people. Lin Tianfeng had never mentioned these things, so the man in black was only following orders.
Seeing that the man in black really didn't know the identity of the other party, Xiao Chen didn't continue to ask. However, he was already a little wary. It seemed that this trip to the Hundred Rivers Lands wasn't so simple.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen didn't hesitate any longer. He directly ended the man's life with a single slash of his sword. Then, he left the stone forest and hurried towards Ming City.
Less than 10 minutes after Xiao Chen left, seven Saints from the Bai Clan and a Half-step Saint from the Celestial Sect arrived at the stone forest. They found the man in black's corpse here.
