Peerless War God

"It's different from the previous few times. This time, the group of rebels did not kill them all. Tens of thousands of them broke through the blockade and escaped. They're close by now, so they should be here soon!"    

After the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, he looked towards the Heavenly Kings.    

At this moment, the Heavenly Kings had already gathered back, each shaking their heads to show that they had not had any gains.    

"Alright, let the rest of the people check out the surroundings. Those people should be back by now!" The Heavenly Emperor turned his head and looked towards the distant starry sky.    

Chen Xiao and the others also looked up, but didn't find anything. They could only do as they were told and let their men leave. They ordered them to continue searching nearby and not miss a single suspicious spot.    

Not long after everyone began their search, a group of two hundred thousand men began to appear in the sky above the Celestial Emperor.    

There was a group of people in the front who were heavily injured. Some of them were even carried back by their companions, so with one glance, one could tell that they had experienced a cruel battle.    

Behind these people were a group of officers with solemn expressions, and from afar, they were able to discern that the group of officers behind them were escorting a group of people.    

After this group of people arrived, some of them immediately rushed over to pay their respects to the Heavenly Emperor, while the rest waited on the spot.    

Chen Xiao and the others had already returned to the side of the Celestial Emperor. They were looking at the group of people who had returned with cold eyes, while they were guessing at what was going on in their hearts.    

When those people came up to pay their respects, Chen Xiao and the others discovered that the leaders were all heavily injured. Moreover, one of them even had a wound on his waist that was only a foot long. It almost cut him in half.    

It was fortunate that this fellow was an expert of Divine Soul Realm, otherwise, he would have died long ago with such a degree of injuries.    

Even the Celestial Emperor did not dare to underestimate them and hurriedly reached out to help them up.    

They were all flattered, but after that, they revered the Celestial Emperor even more.    

Naturally, Chen Xiao and the others could see through this small method to win over the hearts of others. However, no one would point it out to them. They just stood to the side quietly, waiting.    

Sure enough, after supporting a few people up, the Heavenly Emperor began to ask about the situation of the battle.    

The others didn't dare to hide anything from him and started to tell him everything that had happened. They even told him everything that had happened when they first arrived.    

On one side, the Celestial Emperor was listening intently.    

Not just the Heavenly Emperor, the several Heavenly Kings also listened attentively, not daring to miss a single detail.    

When everyone heard that not too long ago, the million strong army that had completely surrounded them suddenly began to retreat in an emergency, and they took the opportunity to attack, all of their faces revealed a look of shock.    

Obviously, no one had expected that the group of fellows would actually take the initiative to retreat, releasing the remaining people.    

According to the information that everyone had, there was an extreme lack of cultivation resources in this trap. Not to mention the tens of thousands of people in the Heavenly Court, even if there were tens of thousands of ordinary people, this group of traitors would not let them go so easily.    

This was a good time to get cultivation resources and supplies with great difficulty, how could they just let go of it so easily?    

Besides, wasn't his timing too perfect?    

This time, not only the Heavenly Emperor, everyone was able to hear what the problem was.    

The Heavenly Kings looked at each other, and started to look at each other.    

The group of people then looked at their respective seats.    

After all, no one would suspect that they were the traitor, so they all subconsciously looked towards the people around them.    

Chen Xiao also looked at the people beside him. He first glanced at Duan Wang, then quickly looked at the others.    

He looked around and didn't seem to find anything suspicious. He couldn't help but look at the team in the distance.    

There were also some generals under their command, as well as a few deputy generals and Lieutenant.    

The previous orders were all carried out by these people, and other than the various Heavenly Kings, these people were also the most suspicious group, and also the largest group.    

After all!    

These Heavenly Kings were now considered to be the most important people. If there were no huge benefits involved, then only a retarded person would have a chance of being part of this group of traitors.    

As for the generals and deputy generals, and even Lieutenant and the others, although they appeared to have extremely high statuses, it was hard to forget that there were still 36 Star Lords who weren't too different from these guys.    

It wasn't easy for these people to stand up for themselves. It was much simpler to bribe these people.    

It was precisely because of this conjecture that the Celestial Emperor did not suddenly launch an attack.    

Otherwise, with the suspicious character of the Heavenly Emperor, he would probably capture all six Heavenly Kings in front of him and directly switch them to another group of people.    

But now, he couldn't. Once he captured these guys, there would be so many people below who could collude with him. He couldn't possibly capture all of them right?    

If he really did that, then even he, the Celestial Emperor, would not be able to sit down peacefully.    

After all.    

If he could kill these people today, who could guarantee that he wouldn't use the same method to kill the other people in the court tomorrow? Or perhaps it was someone he didn't like?    

If he really used force to suppress the Emperor, then everyone in the imperial court would be afraid of him. Who would truly dare to work for him? It would be strange if the remaining people didn't collude with him and wore a pair of pants.    

And if this sort of situation really happened, then what was the difference between the four Heavenly King's Era?    

It was just another group of people reclaiming control of the position.    

What he wanted now was a stable formation. He wanted this person to not join hands again.    

Even if he only killed one or two of the Heavenly Kings, he still had something to say.    

However, if he dared to kill six of them in one go, the remaining Heavenly Kings would definitely give him trouble.    

He, the Heavenly Emperor, was also not as easy as everyone thought.    

The Heavenly Emperor retracted his gaze from the Heavenly Kings, and looked towards the troops in the distance as well. His gaze was flickering, it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.    

Even though he had hundreds of different thoughts in his mind, he couldn't reveal them to the public.    

Finally, after those few people reported, he gave the order for Chen Xiao and the others to quickly search around, while he used an escape technique and headed deep into the starry sky to see if he could find any traces of those people.    

However, too much time had passed. Plus, the space was already moving at a high speed. Even if there was something left behind, it had already disappeared. He could only return empty-handed.    

On the other side, Chen Xiao and the others were still searching around quickly, trying to determine the direction in which those people were escaping to.    

However, he also gained nothing.
