Peerless War God

After a while, Zhou Xun's figure rushed to the west as fast as he could, but he missed his target.    

Zhou Xun's eyes were like lightning as he looked around, but he didn't find anything suspicious. He became flustered and exasperated.    

"What's going on? He actually disappeared in an instant. How can he be so fast?"    

His eyes were dark and filled with disbelief.    

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xun had a faint guess, "Unless it's a spatial cultivator that teleported away, it's impossible that I can't even find a trace of him. Could it be that..."    

For some reason, a familiar name suddenly appeared in Zhou Xun's mind.    

[Could it be him?]    

......    

In the small world, on top of an inconspicuous mountain.    

Chen Xiao sat cross-legged and took out the embroidered box that contained the Yang Thunder Pill. Following that, Xi Luo's wooden head grew out from Chen Xiao's shoulder, and he stared at the embroidered box with a face full of curiosity.    

"I never thought that your luck would be so good. In such a small trade fair, you were actually able to obtain such a good treasure. You really got lucky." Xi Luo said.    

"Hehe, yes, it's all thanks to Meng Gang. Otherwise, this thing would have been snatched away by Zhou Xun. The consequences would be unimaginable."    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao actually felt a trace of lingering fear.    

If the pill really fell into Zhou Xun's hands, he was afraid that Zhou Xun would be able to take another step forward and even have the possibility of breaking through to the Immortal Realm.    

In that case, he would be in danger.    

Fortunately, he had stolen the Lightning Pill, and he had even paid a large amount of Five-Colored Immortal Crystal for it.    

When the old man with the treasure saw the Five-Colored Immortal Crystal, he immediately gave the Lightning Pill to Chen Xiao without any hesitation.    

It seemed that the use of the Five-Colored Immortal Crystal was even greater than Chen Xiao had imagined. It was better to be more cautious in the future.    

"Although the Lightning Pill is good, it seems that the other party's thing is really a hot potato and has the soul imprint of an expert on it."    

"Mn, but it should be fine to be isolated from the outside world in my small world."    

"Just in case, it's better to set up a few more isolation arrays."    

Chen Xiao nodded his head and said, "Alright, be careful."    

Therefore, Chen Xiao first set up the Three Unique Heaven Trapping Array, and then he set up several layers of barriers to wrap it up, which made him feel more at ease.    

"Alright, you can start to open the embroidered box. I'm really looking forward to it." Xi Luo smiled.    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao waved his right hand, and the brocade box was opened by an invisible force, revealing the true appearance of the Yang Lightning Pill within. The Lightning Domain phenomenon appeared once again, causing the two to click their tongues in wonder.    

However, what really caught Chen Xiao's attention was the layer of firm divine soul imprint that covered the surface of the Lightning Pill. It overlapped with each other like a cage, completely locking down the medicinal power of the Lightning Pill.    

At the same time, once someone touched the divine soul imprint, they would be detected by the owner of the Lightning Pill.    

"What a complicated divine soul imprint. The expert who left this imprint must be at the Immortal level, and judging from his aura, he cultivates the Dao of Lightning and Fire."    

Xi Luo glanced at it a few times and said.    

"The Immortal level and Dao of Lightning and Fire. Could it be a Pure Yang Dao Sovereign?"    

Chen Xiao was instantly shocked. In his mind, a stalwart figure appeared, a man with an evil expression, and a terrifying aura.    

Back then, in the secret realm of the Immortal Tree, he had personally seen the Pure Yang Dao Sovereign at a close distance. The aura on his body was so strong that it was terrifying.    

It was like the scorching sun in the sky. It burned everything and no one dared to look directly at it.    

"The Dao of Lightning and Fire specializes in offense. This Pure Yang Dao Sovereign is probably very strong, and he might not be any weaker than the Duke of Purple Gold. Furthermore, from the looks of the Yang Lightning Pill, could it be that he refined it himself? If that's the case, then this person is extremely terrifying." Xi Luo said in a deep tone.    

"From the looks of it, he is indeed." Chen Xiao sighed.    

It seemed that he had really provoked someone he shouldn't have. He definitely could not reveal that the Yang Lightning Pill was in his hands.    

At the moment, the only one who knew about this was Meng Gang. He was afraid that if Meng Gang betrayed him, it would be troublesome.    

"Will Meng Gang betray me?"    

For a moment, Chen Xiao thought of this problem and felt a headache.    

As the old saying goes, one may know a person's face but not his heart. One's heart is unfathomable. Chen Xiao had to be on guard against this.    

Naturally, the best way would be for him to say that there was no proof. As long as he could refine the Yang Lightning Pill as soon as possible, then even if Meng Gang betrayed him, as long as he refused to admit it, it would be fine.    

On top of that, there was also another problem. What was the relationship between the old cultivator who took out the Yang Lightning Pill and the Pure Yang Dao Sovereign? Could it be a trick?    

One had to know that a pseudo-immortal pill like the Yang Lightning Pill was extremely precious even for a Pure Yang Dao Sovereign.    

No matter what, it wouldn't be given out easily. On top of that, the other party's actions were extremely weird, so the origin of the Lightning Pill definitely wasn't normal.    

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao knew very little about Dao Sovereigns of Pure Yang, so he couldn't guess too much.    

Forget it, it was too late for him to regret now. He would first turn the raw rice into cooked rice and refine the Lightning Pill. Everything would naturally be resolved in the end.    

He stared fixedly at the Yanggang Lightning Pill in front of him and counted the time. One breath, two, three breaths... Ten breaths.    

As time continued to pass, Chen Xiao's originally tense heart gradually relaxed.    

"You succeeded, Chen Xiao brat. It seems that after this Divine Soul Imprint is exposed, with the cover of the small world, it won't be discovered." Xi Luo shouted excitedly.    

"Mn, let's begin refining."    

If he wanted to refine this Yanggang Lightning Pill, the first test would be to break the Divine Soul Imprint. Furthermore, this Divine Soul Imprint was left behind by an expert at the Immortal level, so it would probably be very difficult to accomplish.    

"Let's give it a try."    

Chen Xiao made up his mind and started to wrap around the imprint with his Fa Li and Divine Sense, trying to wipe out the existence of the imprint bit by bit.    

This process was like water dripping through a stone. It would be incomparably difficult and slow.    

As Chen Xiao continued to exert his strength, there was indeed a bit of the imprint that was erased, but it was still too slow.    

He frowned and said in a low voice, "If this continues, I'm afraid it's impossible to erase this mark every ten or eight years. It's too slow."    

Right now, there were still around twenty days left before the Treasure Auction, so there wasn't much time left for Chen Xiao.    

If he was unable to remove this imprint, then he could only choose to temporarily leave the embroidered box in his Little World.    

However, he couldn't get the Yang Thunder Pill when it was right in front of his eyes. This kind of feeling made him very unwilling.    

Chen Xiao scratched his head and couldn't think of any other way.    

At this time, Xi Luo reminded him: "Human brat, why are you so stupid at such a critical moment? Have you forgotten about your Soul Armor Secret Technique?"    

Chen Xiao's brows furrowed as he said, "What does the Soul Armor Secret Art have anything to do with this? This is a divine soul imprint, I... I understand. Haha, Hierro, thank you for your reminder."    

Chen Xiao came to a realization.
