Peerless War God

When Chen Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.    

The ten great elder families were truly conservative powers. As long as all the benefits were in their own hands, they would not give any chance to the latecomers at all.    

Defending their own interests sounded righteous and righteous, but in fact, it was just a monopoly.    

Monopoly, monopoly of resources, monopoly of interests, monopoly of everything, as if his own family could prosper for all eternity, and the future generations would never be able to rise again. It was truly a disgusting way of doing things.    

"Chen Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Qin Zhenyun took a sip of wine and asked.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "Nothing, Elder Qin. Everyone is almost here, so it should be about to begin."    

"Yes."    

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sound. The two doors of the Purple Hall, as heavy as mountains, slowly closed with a loud crash that attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.    

After that, two beams of divine light fell down from the endless sky, as if they were descending from the sky. They passed through the dome of the Purple Hall and shone on the entire hall. It was as bright as day.    

All of a sudden, all the people who were talking stopped talking and went back to their seats.    

"They're here." Qin Zhenyun said in a low voice.    

"Mm."    

At this moment, a swordsman wearing a purple-and-gold suit with a golden sword on his back and a handsome face slowly walked over from the back.    

The sword artist was like a sharp sword that was unsheathed. It was dazzling and the sword intent was shocking. As soon as he showed up, it attracted everyone's attention.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, his pupils also shrank. From this person's body, he could feel an aura that was similar to that of the Marquis Zi Jin, and it was extremely threatening.    

"He is Ye Gubei, the personal disciple of the Marquis Zi Jin. His strength is unfathomable. I don't think I am his match. Indeed, there are talents in every generation, and the new generation surpasses the old. I'm getting old." When Qin Zhenyun saw this, he was filled with emotion.    

"He is Ye Gubei. What a sharp sword artist." Chen Xiao looked at him with a serious gaze.    

He already knew that of the two spots in the Purple Cloud City, one was predetermined, and the other was Ye Gubei.    

No matter whether it was because he was the personal disciple of the Duke of Zi Jin or because he was powerful enough, no one had any objections or dared to have any objections.    

From this, it could be seen that Ye Gubei deserved his reputation, which made Chen Xiao pay more attention to him.    

"Greetings, Lord Ye."    

"Greetings, Lord Ye."    

When they saw Ye Gu Bei walk into the main hall and arrive at the main seat, all the cultivators of the ten great elder families in the hall hurriedly stood up and greeted him with utmost respect and humility.    

Even Qin Zhenyun did the same.    

However, Chen Xiao noticed a detail. Ye Gu Bei was only standing at the side of the main seat and did not sit down.    

Ye GuBei's eyes were like lightning as he looked around the hall. He spoke, "No need to say anything more. I am sure you all are clear that since everyone is here, let's get started. The ten grand elders, please step out."    

"Chen Xiao, it's your turn." Hearing that, Qin Zhenyun whispered.    

Chen Xiao nodded and jumped to the center of the hall.    

The great hall of the Purple Hall was truly very big, as large as a few hundred meters square. All of the candidates of the ten great elder families, including Chen Xiao, stepped out one by one and stood in their respective positions.    

Chen Xiao's eyes quickly swept across the faces of the other nine people, and he immediately knew what was going on.    

"It looks like Old Qin has collected enough information, and not a single one of them is bad. That's true, after all, the other nine Eminent Elder families are sending out their own people to fight for the spots, so it's much easier to guess."    

Instead, Chen Xiao's appearance caused everyone present to be surprised and noisy.    

"That's Chen Xiao, right? He actually represented the Qin Family to fight for the slots. Has Qin Zhenyun lost his mind?"    

"The Qin Family actually gave this opportunity to an outsider. Is it because there is no one else in the Qin Family?"    

"That's right, Qin Zhenyun, what do you mean?"    

At this moment, many people pointed the spearhead at Qin Zhenyun, and their faces revealed hostility.    

However, Qin Zhenyun pretended as if he hadn't heard them, and he didn't have the slightest intention of explaining himself. He only snorted coldly.    

Seeing that, Ye Gubei said coldly, "Quiet. The families have chosen their candidates. Next, we will draw lots to fight each other. The first lot will fight against the second lot. The third will fight against the fourth lot. And so on."    

Ye Gu Bei waved his right hand and then ten identical jade slips showed up in the air of the hall.    

Ye Gu Bei didn't show any sign of disagreement about the Qin Clan at all. The others all understood what he meant, so they stopped arguing.    

Seeing that, Chen Xiao snorted. His eyes were filled with disdain, and his right hand emitted an invisible suction force. He casually grabbed at a jade slip and it fell into his hand.    

He held it in his hand and looked at it. Gradually, a clear number appeared on the originally empty jade slip.    

"It's four." Chen Xiao said in a low voice.    

The ten people in the hall all obtained their own jade slips, and saw the numbers on them. They glanced around and had a general idea of their opponents.    

The jade slip in Chen Xiao's hand was number 4, so his opponent would be number 3.    

After scanning with his divine sense, he quickly found number three, a cultivator from the Xiao Family. He also found that the other party was looking at him.    

"Chen Xiao, your opponent is me. This time, I will beat you until you are looking for your teeth all over the ground. Just you wait, hmph."    

The other party also saw Chen Xiao and provoked him by sending him a sound transmission.    

Chen Xiao's face darkened, but he did not reply. In his opinion, this kind of Dou Qi speech was too childish, and he disdained it.    

At the same time, some of the other party's information appeared in his mind.    

Xiao Heng, a fire cultivator, the strongest genius of the Xiao family. His strength had reached the peak stages of the Tribulation Transcender Realm and he had even killed a late stage Tribulation Transcender before. His strength wasn't bad and he had a supreme grade treasure - the Scarlet Blood Blade. He couldn't be underestimated.    

"Xiao Heng, I got it." Chen Xiao silently memorized it in his heart.    

At this time, Ye Gubei opened his mouth and said: "Number one and number two, step forward."    

Then, two cultivators with middle-aged appearances stood out. They were the Tribulation Transcenders of the Gu family and the Liu family.    

The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with passion and the smell of gunpowder. It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other and knew each other.    

"Let's get started then." Ye Gu Bei said coldly.    

Chen Xiao and the others flashed and landed in a corner of the hall, silently watching and waiting.    

"I didn't expect that my opponent would be you, Gu Yuan." Liu Qingkong said coldly.    

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's get started. I will not give up this spot unless you have the strength to beat me into submission."    

Gu Yuan retorted.    

"That's fine. Take it." Liu Qingkong didn't say anything else and started to attack.
