Peerless War God

Such a tragic scene caused everyone's high spirits to be dampened. It was as if they had been splashed with a bucket of icy water, and they calmed down completely.    

Yang Xuanxiong's expression was solemn as he said, "Take inventory of the casualties. Collect the corpses of our dead brothers carefully and send them back to White Stone City."    

"Yes."    

" Yes, captain"    

Immediately, someone on the left and right answered.    

"Captain, what should we do with the corpses of these evil cultivators?" A guard asked.    

Yang Xuanxiong took a deep breath and said, "Let's do it according to the old rules. We'll exchange the corpses of the evil cultivators for military merits and money. We'll split them equally with the relatives of the dead brothers."    

Obviously, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. It had happened many times already, and many guards had sacrificed themselves to resist the evil cultivators' attacks. Then, there was this rule.    

Although they didn't have much money, it was still a bit of goodwill. It was better than nothing.    

However, people were still dead. No matter how much money they had, it was meaningless. It was also from this point that they deliberately understood the cruel nature of the cultivation world. If they were not careful, they would be eternally doomed and die.    

"Understood."    

With an order, the entire stronghold started to run in an orderly manner again. Very soon, it returned to its orderly state.    

Although this kind of scene of separation was very sad and even fearful, these stronghold guards were already accustomed to it and were no longer surprised.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao frowned and slowly relaxed.    

Of course, he was not the kind of person with overflowing sympathy. Dead people were very common, especially to these guards who did not care about life and death. Their deaths were worth it. At least, they protected the peace of one side.    

"Their deaths are meaningful." Chen Xiao gently patted Yang Xuanxiong's shoulder and tried to comfort him.    

Hearing this, Yang Xuanxiong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe."    

At this moment, his heart was very confused. Although he was forced back and heavily injured Guo Jing, it was definitely a great thing, but even with such a huge advantage, there were still many casualties, which Yang Xuanxiong could not accept at all.    

It seemed that these people had died too easily. They were like ants that were accidentally trampled to death by the giant. They did not even stir up any waves.    

This feeling of being tiny was really too uncomfortable.    

There was a feeling as if something was blocking his heart, yet he just couldn't vent it. Yang Xuanxiong's entire person fell into a strange state of depression. It was as if he had gained some understanding in his heart.    

"Master, I..."    

At this moment, the little dragon suddenly flew over from afar. Just as it was about to speak, it was interrupted by Chen Xiao.    

"Comprehension? This person does have some talent." Chen Xiao smiled lightly, feeling happy for Yang Xuanxiong in his heart.    

He casually erected a soundproof barrier to prevent Yang Xuanxiong from being interrupted at the critical moment. If that was the case, it would be a pity.    

For cultivators, it was a great opportunity for them to gain enlightenment. It even meant that they might have broken through the next bottleneck. Especially for cultivators like Yang Xuanxiong, who was stuck at the peak of the Prominent Divine Stage, it was even more important.    

He absolutely couldn't be disturbed, so as to avoid falling short of success.    

Immediately, Chen Xiao waved his hand at the little dragon, indicating for him to leave.    

At the same time, he also blocked everything in the outside world, not allowing anyone to disturb him, especially Yang Xuanxiong's group of subordinates.    

Just like that, Chen Xiao stood by the side and guarded silently. His eyes were deep as he gazed at the sky. He wondered what kind of enlightenment Yang Xuanxiong would have in his heart.    

According to what he knew, everyone's understanding of becoming a Tribulation Transcender was completely different. There had never been two Tribulation Transcenders who had the same understanding in this world.    

After Yang Xuanxiong's enlightenment, Chen Xiao knew that the path of the Tribulation Transcender was slowly opening up. It was much more likely than ordinary peak Prominent Divine stage cultivators.    

However, it was still incomparably difficult.    

After a period of time, Chen Xiao heard some movement coming from the west. He saw a black mass of people rushing towards him. There were nearly a hundred of them. The leader had white hair, but his face was as handsome as a young man. He was obviously an early stage Tribulation Transcender.    

These people had come too quickly and stirred up too much trouble. Seeing this, Chen Xiao furrowed his brows and waved his hand.    

Swoosh! Swoosh!    

A silent gale suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blew over. It caused the people who were in the midst of flying to stop in an instant. Some of the weaker ones even almost fell down from the sky. It was not a small sign.    

"What happened?"    

"Is there an enemy attack? Is there an enemy attack? "    

For a moment, everyone was in chaos as they shouted at the top of their lungs.    

But soon, the leading man glanced at Chen Xiao, who was not far away, and Yang Xuanxiong, who was meditating beside him. He was delighted, but at the same time, he immediately understood the situation.    

"Silence, all of you are to wait here. Do not make any noise."    

"Yes, Great Elder."    

"[Understood, Great Elder.]"    

Even though many of them were a bit confused as to what exactly had happened, since Great Elder had already spoken, no one dared to say anything. They all immediately became silent, obediently waiting in place.    

Upon seeing this, the white-haired man flashed and came to Chen Xiao's side. There was no sound or movement throughout the entire process. Apparently, he was very worried that it would affect Yang Xuanxiong.    

... ""    

The white-haired man first glanced at Yang Xuanxiong. After confirming that Yang Xuanxiong was in a meditative state, the expression on his face could be described as ecstasy.    

After that, he looked at Chen Xiao and cupped his hands slightly to express his gratitude silently.    

Chen Xiao only nodded his head lightly and did not say anything.    

Just like that, the two of them quietly guarded Yang Xuanxiong at the side. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed.    

At this time, Yang Xuanxiong, who had entered a meditative state, slowly woke up. The expression on his face was that of deep thought.    

After a pause, he finally reacted. There were suddenly many people outside the stronghold.    

"Eh? Grand Elder, when did you come?" Yang Xuanxiong asked with a puzzled expression.    

Great Elder Yang Yuangang smiled faintly and said, "I just came not long ago." After saying that, he immediately turned to Chen Xiao and cupped his hands. He said, "Thank you, young friend, for protecting my useless junior. May I know how to address you, young friend?"    

"Chen Xiao."    

This time, Chen Xiao did not conceal his true name and spoke bluntly.
