Peerless War God

"You fought with the demons. What was the result?"    

Qin Daoyuan paused for a moment before replying: "It wasn't me. It was Chen Xiao who attacked and killed a member of the Demon Race."    

"What? He killed a demon? This kid is quite extraordinary, and the younger generation will surpass him in time."    

"An interesting brat. His strength is not bad and he has courage. He is indeed not bad to be able to kill a demon."    

"Is this kid that Chen Xiao? He is even younger than in the legends. He is indeed a young hero from ancient times. Good, good."    

In an instant, all kinds of exclamations, uproars, and praises filled Chen Xiao's ears.    

However, he acted extremely calm and collected, not saying a word.    

At this moment, a cough interrupted the crowd and instantly quieted down. It was the Duke of Zi Jin who spoke.    

"Chen Xiao."    

"I'm here." Chen Xiao hurriedly replied.    

"You killed a demon?"    

"Yes, Lord Zi Jin. However, the corpse was not preserved. Instead, the devil's heart was taken away by another high level demon and it disappeared into thin air." Chen Xiao reported truthfully.    

"The devil's heart disappeared?"    

"This..."    

These words immediately caused some chaos.    

The Marquis didn't care at all and asked again, "How strong was the demon you killed?"    

"Lord Zi Jin, the strength of the Four-Armed Saber Demon that I killed should be somewhere between the late stage and the peak stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, so it's not very strong."    

"Is that so? Okay, I understand." From start to finish, Lord Zi Jin's face was expressionless.    

It was as if everything was within his expectations, or perhaps he didn't care at all.    

"There's one more thing." Seeing this, Chen Xiao hurriedly said.    

"Speak."    

"The millions of ordinary mortals and cultivators in the city were all slaughtered by the demons, and not a single one of them survived. The scene was extremely tragic, sigh!" Chen Xiao said in his heart.    

Hearing this, everyone immediately went silent, and their expressions became extremely serious.    

Even the Marquis Zi Jin frowned and asked: "Is that true?"    

"Yes, my lord," Qin Daoyuan replied. "We rushed over as fast as we could, but it was too late. The city had become a dead zone. There was no one left alive."    

"Damn those demons! All of them deserve death! Don't let this old man meet any of them! Otherwise, we'll definitely kill all of them and avenge the deaths of the humans!"    

"That's right. The Dark Demon Race is cruel and bloodthirsty. They're even more cruel to our human race. I've heard of them a long time ago. I didn't think that they would really appear today. How terrifying!"    

"The demon race is invading. Could it be that another war between gods and demons is about to begin? Sigh!"    

The ten elders' faces revealed a difficult expression. Each one of them was extremely worried, and their expressions were extremely ugly.    

If the demons really started the attack on the God's Realm, it would be a total disaster. For them, it would be the first disaster. There was absolutely no chance for them to survive.    

As the saying goes, when the sky fell down, there would be a tall man holding it up. They were the tall ones.    

All of a sudden, there was an endless noise.    

"Silence." The Marquis of Zi Jin's eyes swept across everyone. After a pause, he said, "Do any of you have any objections to my previous suggestion?"    

"This..."    

Facing the Marquis Zi Jin's gaze, the ten elders all lowered their heads and didn't dare to retort.    

For a long time, no one dared to make a sound.    

Seeing this, the Marquis laughed coldly and said: "Since no one says anything, I'll take it that you've agreed. That's good. Pass on my order. From now on, all the treasures in the treasury of the Chamber of Commerce and the treasuries of the Ten Great Clans can be exchanged."    

"Yes."    

"Yes."    

The few Tribulation Transcender guards immediately went to issue the order after receiving the order. They believed that the order would spread throughout the entire Purple Cloud City very soon.    

It was easy to imagine how much of a shock this sudden order would cause to all the cultivators in the Purple Cloud City. It was hard to imagine.    

"Mobilization order?" When Chen Xiao saw it, his heart was also greatly shaken.    

Sure enough, Qin Daoyuan had guessed correctly. The Duke of Zi Jin had actually issued a mobilization order, which was rarely seen in a thousand years.    

At the same time, it also caused Chen Xiao to have a deep admiration for the Duke of Zi Jin. One must know that taking meat out of a dog's mouth was no different from pulling out a chestnut from a fire; it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.    

The ten great elder families must be unwilling in their hearts, and there was a lot of resistance, but no one dared to resist the dignity of the Marquis Zi Jin.    

From this, it could be seen how shocking the prestige of the Marquis Zi Jin was.    

"The two of you can leave first. You can also go find what you need." The Duke of Zi Jin smiled and said.    

Chen Xiao and Qin Daoyuan looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads, saying, "Yes."    

The two of them immediately retreated. As for the Duke of Zi Jin and the ten elders in the hall, they continued their discussion. As for what they discussed, it was not something that an ordinary person could know.    

After a while, the two of them left the Purple Hall and went outside. They saw streams of light that were like the petals of a goddess, spreading out in all directions of the Purple Cloud City and finally gathering in the central square.    

Chen Xiao knew very well that these people were all going to deliver the news.    

With the order of the Duke of Zi Jin, this mobilization order would quickly spread throughout the entire Purple Cloud City, and the impact would be huge.    

"The mobilization order has really been issued. Big Brother Qin, your guess is very accurate." Chen Xiao looked at Qin Daoyuan and said in admiration.    

Qin Daoyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I guessed it correctly, but that the Lord Marquis Zi Jin is powerful and bold enough to do so."    

"That's right. If you don't have enough power, you can't make such a big decision. You should know that when the order is given, not only the treasury of the chamber of commerce will have to be opened, even the clans of the ten grand elders will have to be opened. That includes your Qin Clan. No one has ever dared to make a sound in the hall."    

As Chen Xiao spoke, he could not help but feel his scalp tingle when he thought about it.    

One must know that the ten great elders who had been present were powerful and famous people, yet in the presence of the Marquis Zi Jin they were as obedient as chickens, and they did not even dare to speak loudly.    

If he hadn't seen it with his own two eyes, Chen Xiao wouldn't have dared to believe it.    

As expected, in front of absolute strength, only then would one have the absolute right to speak.    

"Let's go. Let's go take a look as well. Maybe we can get some good stuff." Qin Daoyuan said again.    

"Alright."    

When the two of them arrived at the central square of the Purple Cloud City, they saw that there were already tens of thousands of cultivators gathered there. They were standing in front of a large stone pillar, looking up at the mobilization order that the Purple Gold Marquis had just issued.    

"What is this? A mobilization order?"    

"What extravagance! The Purple Cloud Treasury has been opened by Lord Zi Jin, allowing all the cultivators of the Chamber of Commerce to exchange for the Purple Cloud Treasury themselves as long as they have enough contribution points and immortal jades. The price is less than half of the usual price. That's great."
