Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In the huge square in front of the main hall of the Yandu Martial Temple, people of all kinds were coming and going. The styles of their clothes were more fashionable than those of the people in Qiulong Prefecture and Baojiao County, and the decorations on their clothes were also more elegant.

"Brother Chen, let me introduce you to some of my sworn brothers."

When Xiao Tianzuo heard the voices and saw those people greeting him, he happily pulled Chen Ku and walked over.

Chen Ku looked at the five people standing not far away, four men and one woman. They were all relatively young, at least from their appearance, no more than thirty years old.

"Big brother!"

Among the five people, a young man wearing a yellow robe and holding a folding fan, took the initiative to come forward with the other four people, and said excitedly with some concern:

"Has Yuan Hao's revenge been taken?"

"...I killed an Eighth Realm Yin God in Baojiao County, but Baojiao County was too strange, and there was a Tenth Realm Evil God in charge. I almost couldn't get out. It was thanks to the help of Brother Chen beside me that I was able to escape from the formation of Baojiao County. Otherwise, I might not even be able to see you."

When Xiao Tianzuo was asked about this, his mood obviously dropped. With full shame and sadness, he swore with strong emotions:
"But, one day, I will go back and kill all the monsters in that city, and then avenge Yuan Hao."

"We are together!" The five people shared the same hatred and gnashed their teeth.

"Okay!" Xiao Tianzuo took a deep breath and said, "Once we come out of the Shenwu Hall, we can lead the troops. Then, we will personally lead the troops to capture Baojiao County!"

The reason why he went to Baojiao County was to help his sworn brother Bai Yuanhao to get revenge, but he still failed to get Bai Yuanhao's head back, and he was even almost trapped in the incense and golden light formation of Baojiao County.

Xiao Tianzuo also told this part of the matter to the five people.

In particular, he emphasized how he escaped from the formation in Baojiao County with the help of Chen Ku, and how he later joined forces with Chen Ku to force two eight-level Yin Gods to self-destruct...

After that, Xiao Tianzuo introduced these five people to Chen Ku and said:
"Brother Chen, these five brothers are Xiao's five sworn brothers and sisters. Together with the Bai Yuanhao brothers who died in Baojiao County, there are seven of us in total. We are sworn brothers. In Yandu City, people call us the 'Seven Sons of Yandu'."

As he spoke, he pointed at five people and introduced them to Chen Ku one by one.

First, the young man in yellow clothes and holding a folding fan said:
"This is the second oldest among our seven sons. His name is Helan Qing, nicknamed 'Prince of the Treasure Fan'. He is the third son of the Helan family, a prominent clan in Longyuan. He has completed the eighth level of marrow cleansing once, is good at 'fan techniques', and is ranked 458th on the Jiuzhou Genius List."

"The third brother, Xie Qixing, nicknamed 'Meteor Sword', is a true disciple of Wuzhou Mingjian Villa. He has completed the eighth level of marrow cleansing once, and his swordsmanship is very high. He ranks 469th on the Jiuzhou Genius List."

"The fourth one, Duan Qingxuan, nicknamed 'Bi Xiao Fairy', is the only woman among the seven of us. She is the youngest daughter of the master of the Jade Toad Palace on Toad Mountain. She is as capable as any man. She has practiced the Eight Realms Marrow Cleansing three times and is ranked 362nd on the Genius List."

"The sixth elder, Xing Yao, nicknamed 'Black Iron Hand', was born as a casual cultivator, and has completed one eighth level marrow cleansing. He ranks '423rd' on the genius list."

'The seventh brother, Xu Fanfeng, is a lay monk from the semi-major sect of the Hanging Temple. He has reached the second level of the Eight Realms Marrow Cleansing Cultivation and ranks '363rd' on the Genius List.'

After saying that.

He sighed bitterly at Chen and said:

"Bai Yuanhao is our fifth oldest, nicknamed 'White Ape with Divine Arrows'. He learned from the wandering wanderer 'White Ape Liu' back then. He has undergone the Eight Realms Marrow Cleansing once and is ranked 500th on the Genius List. He originally had a bright future, but in the end..."

After Chen Ku heard Xiao Tianzuo's introduction.

I also clasped my fists towards these five people:

"My name is Chen Ku, nice to meet you, Brother Helan, Brother Xie, Miss Duan, Brother Xing, and Brother Xu."

"Hello, Brother Chen!"

All five of them returned the greeting politely.

Especially after Xiao Tianzuo said that Chen Ku was his savior, the look he gave Chen Ku was full of gratitude.

At this time, Xiao Tianzuo also introduced Chen Ku to his sworn brothers:
"This Brother Chen, you should have all heard of him. He is the number one genius of Qiulong Mansion who raised his ranking on the genius list from over 900 to 615 in a very short period of time."

"It turns out to be that Brother Chen!"

The seventh brother Xu Fanfeng immediately showed a friendly expression to Chen Ku and said:
"At that time, we were still discussing that there hadn't been any super geniuses in Qiulong Mansion for many years, but suddenly such a super genius appeared overnight. We were all discussing how old he was. Unexpectedly... Brother Chen looked only... 19 or 20 years old?"

Xu Fanfeng made a tentative guess.

The other four people also looked at Chen Ku in surprise.

indeed.

Too young.

He looks like just a teenager.

Yet he was able to quickly climb to the 615th place on the genius list.

Duan Qingxuan, with her long hair down to her waist and delicate face, slightly opened her red lips and looked at Chen Ku, judging: "I think Brother Chen looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old."

Chen Ku bowed and smiled, "Miss Duan has good eyesight. I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday not long ago."

"He's really only eighteen years old." The other four were even more surprised.

"At the age of eighteen, he's already ranked more than six hundredth on the genius list. You can imagine how terrifying Brother Chen's talent is. Among the Seven Sons of Yandu, even Qingxuan, the most talented one, was only about as talented as this at the age of eighteen." Helan Qing praised, shaking his fan.

"Indeed." Duan Qingxuan said, "Brother Chen has a promising future."

Chen Ku cupped his hands and said, "You are really too kind to praise me."

"Brother Chen, don't be so modest."

Xiao Tianzuo looked at his sworn brothers' comments on Chen Ku, and it was obvious that they only knew the reasons. He sighed and said to them:

"Do you really think Brother Chen's strength is only as simple as rank 615?"

Hear the words.

The five boys looked at their eldest brother in surprise, and then looked at Chen Ku.

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Have you forgotten? I told you very clearly that I am in Baojiao County. Thanks to Brother Chen's help, otherwise I would not be able to come back."

Xiao Tianzuo didn't want his sworn brothers to look down on Chen Ku too much, so he said:
"Let me put it this way. Although Brother Chen's cultivation is only at the seventh level, his combat power is extremely strong. Even if I fight him, I am not sure of winning. I believe you all know what this means."

"what?"

"Brother actually said that..."

The five boys were shocked.

Although they were informed by Xiao Tianzuo about some things in Baojiao County at the beginning, including Chen Ku's assistance to Xiao Tianzuo and that Chen Ku also killed an Eighth Realm Yin God, they at most thought that the Eighth Realm Yin God was just an ordinary Yin God.

Chen Ku was able to kill the Eighth Realm Yin God with his Seventh Realm Zhong Gang cultivation, which was probably the potential of the 'two limits'.

After all, he was a genius who could reach the top 600 in one night. If he couldn't break the two limits, he wouldn't be so respected by their eldest brother.

However, what Xiao Tianzuo said truthfully about Chen Ku's fighting ability left them completely dumbfounded.

"Brother, you are at the level of the second cleansing of the eighth realm, but you are able to step into the realm of the 'three limits' through the Pure Red Dust Sword, and can fight against the peak masters of the eighth realm. But you are not sure of winning against Brother Chen?"

He Lanying was so shocked that she stopped fanning herself and said:

"Brother Chen? Is he a being in the six limited realms?"

With the inner power cultivation, you can overcome the outer power, five times of marrow cleansing, and six limits?
This is definitely the talent that allows one to be among the top 100 heroes of Longyuan!
Duan Qingxuan was also slightly stunned. She looked at Chen Ku in disbelief and asked, "If that's true, then how come Brother Chen's ranking on the genius list should be almost the same as mine and Brother Fanfeng's, around 360th place? How come he is still 615th? There's a difference of nearly 300 places?"

Xiao Tianzuo smiled helplessly and said, "You'll have to ask him about this."

Chen Ku said awkwardly: "Well..."

"You...did you forget to break the record?" Duan Qingxuan's beautiful eyes were slightly stunned.

Chen Ku did not deny it and said, "At that time, I was busy with many things in Qiulong Mansion, so I really didn't have time to go to the martial arts world to refresh the record."

All five of them looked at Chen Ku in shock.

I really forgot to refresh the record.

After all, the ranking on the genius list will not change easily unless it is challenged or evaluated in the martial arts world.

"An eighteen-year-old six-limit genius!"

Duan Qingxuan's voice was not very calm, and he said:

"It actually came from Qiulong Mansion."

Even though Chen Ku is only at the seventh realm now, the six limits are the most important concept. This means that if Chen Ku can maintain the realm of 'permanently staying in the six limits' during the following practice, then as long as he steps into the eighth realm, he can... try to impact the list of the top 100 heroes of Longyuan.

There are 1.3 billion people and more than 100 million warriors. Only the top 100 people can be called "outstanding people".

"Now, you should understand Brother Chen's fighting power."

Xiao Tianzuo said to his brothers and sisters:

"Brother Chen, like us, also came to Yandu to apply for the Shenwu Hall. If we all pass the exam, maybe one of us will be assigned to the same clan as Brother Chen. When the time comes, we must help each other."

"Big brother is right!" said the other five.

"Okay, Brother Chen and I have been standing here for a long time. Didn't you prepare a welcoming banquet? I think we should find a place to eat first and talk while we eat."

Xiao Tianzuo showed his leadership style and said:
"When the time comes, Brother Chen will need your help with something."

Chen Ku's heart moved.

The person who knew that the huge 'Treasure Pavilion' that Xiao Tianzuo mentioned in Yandu should be this Prince Helan Qing. He immediately bowed to Helan Qing and said with a subtle smile: "There is indeed something that I would like to ask Brother Helan for help."

"Okay! Then let's go eat first. I have already booked a table on the top floor of Yunhai Building."

He Lanying dropped the folding fan in her hand, held it, looked at Chen and smiled bitterly:

"Brother Chen, just give me your orders. If it is within my ability, Helan, I will definitely not refuse."

Just like that, a group of seven people walked down the ten thousand meter long steps from the entrance of the main hall of Yandu Martial Temple and headed towards a tall building in the distance.

On the way, Chen Ku turned his head from time to time, frowned slightly and said:
"Brother Xiao, it seems that there are more than one group of people following us..."

He Lanqing opened his folding fan and said, "Brother Chen, don't be nervous. This is normal. Those people are actually the 'ear-reporting gods' of the Jianghu tabloids. They like to sell gossip about martial arts celebrities. Because we, the 'Seven Sons of Yandu', have made some name for ourselves, there are newspapers and other organizations that will keep an eye on our movements. Although it's annoying, we can't just kill them. After all, they haven't killed or set fire to anything. On the contrary, sometimes they can help us publicize some things, so we just turn a blind eye to it."

After listening to this, Chen Ku sighed: "The bigger the city, the more paparazzi there are."

When he was in Qiulong Mansion, there were newspapers like Mingjia. Now that he has come to the provincial capital of Yandu, naturally there are more of these small newspapers.

"Brother Chen, you put the word 'paparazzi' well. This group of people are indeed like a group of dog noses. Big brother just returned to Yandu, and he has already smelled the wind." Xie Qixing said.

"I'm afraid it's because of the fame of the 'Seven Sons of Yandu'. It's not just a small reason, but a big reason." Chen said with a wry smile.

Several people smiled.

Suddenly, as if remembering the dead Bai Yuanhao, the atmosphere became somewhat sad again.

that's it.

The seven people headed towards the Yunhai Pavilion.

And just as Chen Ku said, the reputation of the Seven Sons of Yandu is indeed very famous in Yandu City, the capital of Longyuan Province. After all, they are all super geniuses who are within the top 500 of the genius list. What's more, these seven people have impressive backgrounds.

It can be said that they are the most powerful and influential people in Yandu City, the second generation of martial arts, and also one of those who are particularly promising.

As a result, all the major newspapers in Yandu began to report on Xiao Tianzuo's return to Yandu, and during this period they also noticed Chen Ku.

After all, a young man who could walk with the Seven Sons of Yandu could not be an unknown person.

As a result, major newspapers began to search for intelligence and information about Chen Ku from various sources.

This search actually found some previous records.

"That young man is called Chen Ku, who was born in Qiulong Mansion?"

The doorman of a newspaper office seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"The name that jumped more than 300 places on the genius list was 'Chen Ku'. He is such a young boy."

At the same time, someone also dug up another piece of news that was vaguely targeting Chen Ku.

"Master, we also found out something like this from other gossips reported by various prefectures and counties in Longyuan not long ago. It seems to have come from the 'Hanshouhou Mansion', saying that Chen Ku seemed to have obtained the 'treasure' of the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu. Even if he didn't... he also practiced the 'Eight Gates Dunjia Formation' of Jingshen Tianwang, one of the four heavenly kings under the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu."

"Really?" The president said in surprise, "The Xia Wang's treasure? The inheritance of the God-shaking Heavenly King? This is big news. If it gets out, the capital of Yan will be in a commotion."

"This... is hard to say. After all, the news is suspected to have come from Han Shouhou Mansion, and there is no way to confirm it." The member asked hesitantly: "So, should this information be published in the tabloids?"

"Come on!"

Upon hearing this, the president pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Please note that it is suspected rumor. Anyway... we are only responsible for sharing intelligence and gossip with the martial artists and the common people. The authenticity is up to the people to judge for themselves. If anyone really wants to know, they can check it out themselves. Besides, who is Chen Ku? He has no background in Yandu City, so there is nothing he cannot afford to offend."

They had all reported some gossip about the disciples of the nine major sects, let alone a country boy who came from a prefecture. (End of this chapter)
