"Hehe, if you are interested, you can come and have a look at that time."

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

"Come to Huaxia... Our identities may not be so convenient."

John hesitated.

"No problem, just wait for me to say hello to [Dragon Emperor]."

Xiao Chen has his own ideas, who knows how Qing Yanzong will react after the First World War.

It is estimated that even if he wins, it is not that simple to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

So, he had to make some preparations.

In two months, Cerro should be able to get the Dark Inheritance. Does he have more supporters?

At that time, the masters of the Dark Holy See will enter China, and at critical times, they will also become one of his helpers.

Although he is very floating, he also knows that compared with Qingyanzong, the current Longmen is still far behind.

The top combat strength, that is, the masters of the Xiantian realm, should be barely enough, but the half-step Xiantian, Huajin Dacheng, and mid-to-late stage masters cannot compare with Qingyanzong.

"Hehe, it seems that the relationship between Mr. Xiao and [Dragon Emperor] is really good."

John smiled, didn't say it, and didn't say it.

Xiao Chen didn't care either, John couldn't decide this matter, he would tell Serro later.

The two were chatting, and for about half an hour, the car drove into a small manor.

Xiao Chen is no stranger to this small manor, having been here once before.

He thought that Serro and the others would not use it anymore and had already changed hands.

Unexpectedly, it will remain.

"Your Dark Holy See has a lot of industries all over the world, right?"

Xiao Chen asked casually.

"yes."

John nodded and stopped the car.

"Mr. Xiao, please."

"Ok."

Xiao Chen picked up the golf bag next to him and got out of the car.

It is said to be a small manor, but it is actually a big villa with a big yard.

Xiao Chen looked around a few times and noticed the aura of a master.

"Hehe, Serro is quite careful."

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

"At critical moments, you have to be careful."

John replied.

"You should be more careful."

Xiao Chen nodded, carrying a golf bag, and followed John to the inside.

"Mr. Xiao...can I see the Black Blood Wand?"

Suddenly, John stopped and asked.

"Hehe, let's go in and see together."

Xiao Chen chuckled.

"I promised Cerro that I will not give the Black Blood Wand to anyone until I see him."

"Well, then... Mr. Xiao, please."

John didn't say much, took the civilized stick and continued to lead the way.

Soon, we came to the villa.

"Please."

John bent slightly and made a 'please' gesture.

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded and walked in.

After he entered, he couldn't help frowning, the living room of the villa was empty.

"John, where's Serro?"

Xiao Chen glanced across the living room and asked.

"Serro is upstairs, come down immediately."

John, who followed in, said.

"Mr. Xiao, please sit down first."

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded and sat on the sofa.

"any drinks?"

John asked.

"Tea is fine."

As Xiao Chen said, he casually put the golf bag beside him.

"Wait a moment, I'll go up and notify Serro."

John ordered a maid to pour tea, and then said to Xiao Chen.

"OK."

Xiao Chen nodded.

John went upstairs.

Xiao Chen looked at his back, took out a cigarette, and lit a cigarette.

Soon, the maid brought tea, and then retreated.

Xiao Chen looked at the maid again, this maid...is quite pretty.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, footsteps were heard upstairs.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Chen looked up.

I saw a few people coming down from upstairs, and John was at the front.

There are two or three familiar faces, but... there is no Cerro.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on a young foreigner in the middle.

The young man was blond and blue-eyed, with a slender figure, and the features between his eyebrows... made him feel somewhat familiar.

Taking a closer look, Xiao Chen suddenly realized, no wonder he felt familiar, similar to Serro.

So... now, what's the situation?

Just as Xiao Chen was looking at them, a group of people also came down from upstairs.

"Mr. Xiao..."

John stopped and looked at Xiao Chen who was sitting on the sofa.

"Where's Serro?"

Before John could finish speaking, Xiao Chen interrupted him and asked directly.

"Serro has something to do, it's not here..."

John explained.

"Is it?"

Xiao Chen smiled, a little playfully.

"John, we are also old acquaintances. If you say that, I will not be happy... because I think you are insulting my IQ."

"..."

John stopped talking.

"Since you invited me here, let me introduce myself."

Xiao Chen ignored John and looked at the foreign youth.

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, I have admired your name for a long time..."

The foreign youth looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.

"Stop... You should use English instead of Huaxia, your Huaxia speaks too badly."

Xiao Chen interrupted the foreign youth and shook his head.

"it is good."

The foreign youth was not angry and nodded.

"My name is Marcus, and I'm Serro's brother."

"Marcus, Cerro's brother? Hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled and saw it.

"Is it [Son of Darkness] too?"

"That's right."

The foreign youth nodded.

"Where's Serro?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Don't say that Selro is busy, and ask you to come over and help him get the black blood wand... In that case, you are not only insulting my IQ, but also insulting your IQ."

"of course not."

The foreign youth, that is, Marcus looked at the golf bag next to Xiao Chen, which contained... the treasure of the Dark Church, the Black Blood Wand!

"Actually, I came here to make friends with Mr. Xiao."

"Make friends? Hehe, okay."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Tell me, how do you want to make friends?"

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you and Serro are also friends, right?"

Marcus sat opposite, John stood beside, and the others stood behind.

One of the old men made Xiao Chen take a few extra glances.

very strong.

Half-step innate?

No wonder he dared to come to see him.

It's just... These guys probably don't know that the Great Elder died at his hands, right?

Otherwise, he wouldn't bring a half-step genius and dare to come to see him.

"Yes, Serro and I are friends."

Xiao Chen looked back and nodded.

"What's wrong?"

"If I asked Mr. Xiao to choose someone to be a friend, who would you choose?"

Marcus asked.

"Hehe, do you still need to ask this question? Of course it is Serro, do we know each other well?"

Xiao Chen laughed mockingly.

"That may be because you don't understand me..."

Marcus laughed too.

"Compared to Serro, there are more people who support me in the Dark Vatican... For example, John, he turned to the light and did things for me."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, Marcus is the best among [Son of Darkness], and his supporters are far more than Serro, and even [God of Darkness] appreciates Marcus more, and thinks he is qualified successor."

John spoke.

"So, I'm also going to serve Marcus and hopefully one day...see him ascend to the top."

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Serve for Marcus?"

Xiao Chen looked at Marcus, then at John, his mockery became stronger.

"Hehe, there is no one who uses the word 'betrayal' so fresh and refined."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, John's face remained unchanged: "No, I don't think it's a betrayal... Don't you Huaxia have a saying? People choose wise rulers and ministers, and birds live in good trees. I think this is very good .”

"Words are good words, but people... are not necessarily good people."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"You want to choose a wise king and minister, and no one said anything, but you shouldn't betray Sero, you know? There is also a saying in China about your behavior, which is called eating inside and crawling outside."

"I came to find Mr. Xiao today, not to discuss John's affairs, I just want you to know that it is better for you to choose me as a friend than Serro... I have a better chance of becoming the successor, and I will become [Darkness in the future] God], in charge of the dark church."

Marcus raised his hand to prevent John from saying anything, and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Xiao is a smart man, and you are betting on Serro...and I will give Mr. Xiao a chance now to make your chances of winning even greater! The only thing Mr. Xiao has to do is let me be your friend, not Cerro!"

"Are you so sure?"

Xiao Chen looked at Marcus and asked with a smile.

"certainly."

Marcus nodded.

"When I first emerged in the Dark Vatican, Serro... was still a child, he was simply incomparable!"

"Okay, I know you're awesome. What I'm curious about is... Who spread the word about the black blood wand in my hand? You? Or who?"

"not me."

Marcus shook his head.

After hearing these words, Xiao Chen's heart moved, and then a playful look flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, I know everything about you, including the conflict between you and the Holy See of Light... You befriend Serro because you want him to share the pressure from the Holy See of Light for you! I can also promise you this, as long as We are friends, the Holy See of Light, I will take care of it."

Marcus said to Xiao Chen.

"As for the Great Elder... Although China's [Dragon Emperor] said that they killed it, there are still many people who doubt you. I can also handle this matter. The Dark Church will not trouble you."

"Hehe, listen to what you said, as long as you and I become friends, I will make a lot of money?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Of course, after all, I don't want to be an enemy of Mr. Xiao, I just want to be the successor... And my younger brother, he is not suitable."

Marcus nodded.

"Mr. Xiao, as long as you hand over the black blood wand to me, then we will be friends. What you can get from Serro is also available from me."

Speaking of this, Marcus looked at the golf bag next to Xiao Chen, with a fiery look in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, don't you just want this?"

Xiao Chen smiled, opened the golf bag, and took out the black blood wand from it.

When Marcus and the others saw the Black Blood Wand, they were a little uneasy, and finally...appeared!
