C1896

3Countless people were stunned, their mouths twitching. Grandpa Hou?

In one direction of the crowd, many people wearing the same clothes were standing there. These people were disciples of the Star Gauze Sect, and after hearing this familiar voice, many of them subconsciously shuddered, feeling their scalp go numb, as if they had thought of some bad memory.

Did that guy come again?

"What's wrong?" An elder disciple of the Star Gauze Sect noticed that many of the people around him had strange reactions and could not help but ask.

"Senior Brother, that person is here!" One of them said in a low voice, his eyes showing a trace of fear.

"Who?" The eldest disciple was stunned for a moment before he suddenly thought of something and his face changed.

Those disciples that came from other worlds said that there was a person that called himself grandpa that robbed them that day. That person was very likely one of the top ten characters on the World Spiritist Succession List!

And now, that person had actually appeared here as well?

Many people had strange looks in their eyes, they looked around, as though they were looking for the speaker. Qin Xuan was also looking, he was suddenly curious, in this Xia Wang Jie where all the heaven's pride experts gather, who would dare to call themselves grandpa?

Boom!

A loud bang erupted in the sky as a vigorous figure shot out like lightning. With a black long rod in his hand, he appeared in front of countless people's eyes in an extremely conspicuous manner.

"This is …"

The gazes of the crowd were all focused on the figure. The figure had a rugged face and was not considered tall. The clothes he wore were also very simple, making him look as though he wasn't that extraordinary.

The only thing that caught his attention was the black long rod in his hand. It looked like a burning rod, black and thick.

"It's him!" Many disciples of the Stargaze Sect saw the figure in the sky and their expressions changed. They would never forget this familiar figure for the rest of their lives.

The power of that one strike had completely overturned their understanding.

"Burning stick..." Many people were staring at the stick with their eyes, thinking of the same person in their minds — the bandit!

These people came from the same world, the Wasteland, and there was an extremely terrifying person in the Wasteland. These people came from the same world, and in the Wasteland, there was an extremely terrifying person.

Because of this, he had earned the title of 'bandit'!

With just this method alone, he had taken the position of the number one expert in the Wasteland Realm.

However, he did not know what kind of abnormal physique he had. The more he fought, the braver he became. Not only did he leave safely, he even killed many people. His spirit energy soared and no one could shake his position.

After that, the name of the marauder spread throughout the wasteland. At the same time, there was a proverb: rather than the marauder, you provoke the marauder!

The faces of everyone in the Desolate Realm changed when they heard his name. When they saw his figure, they all ran away like madmen and did not dare to approach within a thousand miles of him. It was as though they had seen the god of death, robbing spirit energy every time they saw him, it was too terrifying …

The black robe looked at the sturdy figure, his eyebrows raised a little, and asked: Who are you?

"Hehe, I'm your grandpa Hou!" Grandpa Hou seemed to be his catchphrase. As soon as he opened his mouth, the disciples of the Stargaze Sect and the people of the Wasteland World were left speechless. He was as arrogant as ever!

But, there are many strong great power, Eastern Kingdom, Xiao, Di Family, Huangfu Family … Every super power had quite a few heaven's pride level characters, and there were even several top 10 ranked characters of the World Ranking. If he wanted to stir up another storm here, it would probably not be so easy anymore.

"This person is the number one person in the wasteland world. Currently, he is ranked number 10 on the World Rankings, the marquis!" In the crowd, it was unknown who shouted out the name of Hou Sheng.

"How boring!" The Hou Sheng's gaze swept across the crowd below him. Many people looked towards the sky, and when they met his gaze, they felt a palpitation in their hearts. It was as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast hidden in the darkness.

As the sound of that person's voice faded, the hearts of countless people violently trembled. Their eyes were fixated on the incomparably arrogant figure in the air, as expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Just this guy? He's in the top 10 of the World Rankings?

However, the World Spiritist Succession List would definitely not be wrong. In that case, there was only one possibility. The figure before him was indeed extraordinary.

Qin Xuan also looked at the Hou Sheng's figure with a bit of surprise. None of the people that could enter the top ten of the World Ranking were simple characters.

Of the four people present, there was no need to mention Xiao Shu's strength. Whether it was his own strength or his background, they were all at the top. Thus, he was ranked second in the Nine Realms and was only second to Eastern Emperor Hao.

Jiang Feng was ranked sixth. Although he was alone and had no great power to protect him, Xiao Jin Tang couldn't withstand a single punch from him. This showed just how powerful he was.

Huangfu Wushuang was ranked seventh. It was obviously the result of the Huangfu family giving their all.

But not only was this Hou Sheng alone, his own cultivation was also only at the peak of the Early Rank of Emperor Stage. It was unknown how many people in the Xia Wang Jie were stronger than him, so how did he manage to enter the top ten?

Could it be that he possessed the same powerful ability to fight across borders?

Qin Xuan didn't know that Hou Sheng had entered the top ten of the Nine Realms with just a single move.

Until now, he had never entered a cultivation grounds. From the moment he entered the Xia Wang Jie, he had not stopped to rest.

The title of bandit wasn't just for show.

With that person's reminder, many people checked the rankings in secret. Their gazes swept towards the 10th place, and then they saw a dazzling golden name: Hou Sheng.

Grandpa Hou, Hou Sheng!

It seemed like what that person said was not wrong. The arrogant figure in front of them who called himself Grandpa Hou was actually in the top ten of the World Spiritist Succession List. Moreover, he seemed to be the number one person of the Desolate World.

When their thoughts traveled down this path, many people couldn't help but have a subtle change in their gazes when they looked at the marquis, becoming less haughty and more respectful.

No matter what impression that person gave them, with the halo of the top ten on the World Spiritist Succession List, he could be called a proud son of heaven, a dragon amongst men. After all, it was impossible for ordinary people to enter the top ten on the World Spiritist Succession List.

"What did you say you were going to try?" The marquis looked at the black robe curiously and asked.

"Since you are in the top ten of the World Spiritist Succession List, you do not need to try again." Even though Hou Sheng's cultivation was only at the peak of the Early Rank of Emperor Stage, he still believed that the Hou Sheng, who was in the top ten of the World Rankings, was strong enough.

In fact, there were some people who were skeptical of the Hou Sheng's strength. For example, Eastern Emperor Feng, it was really hard for him to imagine just how someone at the peak of Early Rank of Emperor Stage had managed to enter the top ten of the World Rankings …

This was simply illogical.

Was it because the people of the Wasteland were too weak?

This time, he chose to keep quiet. If Hou Sheng's strength was not enough to break the array, then when he opened his mouth, what other reason would the black robe have?

"Since everyone's here, let's begin breaking the formation." Eastern Emperor Chen Yu looked at the black robe man and said. He had always been curious about what kind of array was the one mentioned in the black robe's mouth, and where it was hidden.

"Before I break the formation, I need everyone to abide by one more agreement." The black robe man suddenly said.

"What else do you want to keep?" Many people had expressions of impatience on their faces. Previously, they wanted someone to help them break the formation, but now they wanted them to follow their agreement. Was this array even going to be broken?

The Eastern Emperor Chen Yu also frowned. Was this person messing with him?

"What kind of agreement?" A clear voice came out, Xiao Shu looked at the black robe man and said indifferently.

"In the process of breaking the formation, I hope that all of you will listen to my commands and not act without permission. Otherwise, the formation might be broken and we will only have one chance, if we make any mistakes, we will not be able to enter the Great Saint Ruins." The black robe man's face revealed a look of concentration, his tone was serious, obviously not joking.

"Sure, we'll listen to you." The Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, was the first to agree.

He could faintly hear that the black robe man's words were directed at him and Xiao Shu. He was the Ninth Prince of Eastern Kingdom, and Xiao Shu was ranked second on the World Ranking, so they were the most likely people to not listen to his orders.

"Whatever you want to do, we'll do it." Xiao Shu also said. His eyes suddenly became more serious and a sharp aura could be felt coming from between his brows. He said, "However, if we find any abnormalities, don't blame me for interrupting."

Xiao Shu's words were a warning to the black robe people not to play any tricks. Although they would listen to his orders, it did not mean that they would be at his mercy.1

"Alright." The black robe man nodded his head slightly, as if he agreed to Xiao Shu's words. He looked at the surrounding people and said: "Please come to my side."

As the sound of his voice faded, six figures walked out from different parts of the sky. These six figures were Eastern Emperor Chen Yu, Xiao Shu, Di Xuan, Huangfu Yue, Qin Yuan, and Hua Kun from the Eight Trigrams Immortal Palace.

These six, along with the black robe, Ye Qi, Jiang Feng Jue and Hou Sheng, made up ten people.

Qin Xuan looked at the ten figures in the sky with a trace of shock in his eyes. What kind of formation was this, to actually require ten people to break through the formation at the same time. Furthermore, these ten people were the top heaven's pride level experts in Xia Wang Jie, possessing extraordinary battle prowess.

Even someone as strong as Di Shifeng and Huangfu Wushuang did not have the qualifications to participate in breaking the formation.

"The so called World Ranking doesn't seem to be that reliable. Although Huangfu Wushuang entered the top ten of the World Ranking, he couldn't participate in breaking the formation. Before the Eastern Emperor, Chen Yu, entered the top ten, he was still invited by the black robe." Someone said in a low voice. Evidently, in the eyes of the black robe, the Eastern Emperor Chen Yu's strength was above Huangfu Wushuang.

"The World Spiritist Succession List only ranks based on the spiritual energy that one obtains, and it's not based solely on strength. Otherwise, the top ten in the World Spiritist Succession List would have been occupied by Emperor Stage powerhouses. How could there still be people in the lower realms?" The person beside him explained in a low voice.

"Also, there is already a legendary figure in the Eastern Kingdom. He alone can suppress everyone in the Nine Realms, and there's no need to cultivate another person to be ranked second, but the Huangfu Family is different. Everyone is trying their best to support Huangfu Wushuang, and I hope his reputation can surpass Di Shifeng's.

"That's true." That person from before nodded in agreement. However, the current ranking list was only temporary. When the Ling Mountain opens and all the heroes gather, there would probably be a great change!
