Peerless War God

When Li Xuan mentioned the name Cold Stream City, Chen Xiao's expression finally changed slightly.    

In Li Xuan's eyes, this small change was as if he had won, and a smile appeared on his face.    

With regards to this, Chen Xiao became indifferent once again and laughed: "It seems that the Young Prince really cares about me, but what I want to say is that there's no need for that."    

Although he was very unhappy about being investigated, he also knew that it was unavoidable.    

When he defeated so many opponents in the Purple Cloud City, he would have to bear the pressure from all sides.    

Walking to the center of the stage, this was the inevitable result.    

If it wasn't for the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, he would definitely choose to keep a low profile and cultivate quietly. He wouldn't cause any trouble and wouldn't reveal himself.    

However, the temptation of the Black Heavenly Spirit Treasure was really too great. Chen Xiao could not avoid it, so he had to fight for it.    

As long as he could obtain a Black Heavenly Spirit Treasure, he would have enough strength to protect himself even if the Demon Race descended and the Divine Realm was in chaos. This was extremely important to him.    

For this reason, even if he had to reveal a bit of his trump card, he would not hesitate.    

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "No, that's very necessary. I think very highly of you. If I'm not wrong, you probably still have some hidden means that you haven't used, right?"    

Li Xuan said meaningfully. He was clearly testing Chen Xiao's strength.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Li Xuan with all his might, as though he wanted to see through his thoughts.    

However, Li Xuan muttered to himself and looked at him with a smile. It was as if he couldn't see anything.    

"I don't quite understand Young City Lord Li Xuan's words." Chen Xiao pretended to be confused and replied.    

Li Xuan smiled indifferently. He didn't mind and just said, "It doesn't matter. It's good that you don't understand. I'll make it clear then. If you are interested, the gates of my mansion will be open for you. Here, you can get all the resources and cultivation manuals you want. If there is chaos in the future, you can have better self-protection. It's much better than you staying in the small city of the Purple Cloud City, isn't it?"    

Finally, Li Xuan revealed the reason why he came to find Chen Xiao. It was to recruit him.    

It had to be said that it was extremely attractive for him that Li Xuan would personally come out with such conditions.    

If it wasn't for Chen Xiao having something to rely on, he might really have agreed, but it was impossible now.    

"Sorry, I didn't think of it that way. Although the Purple Cloud City is small, it's still quite good."    

Chen Xiao said and refused immediately.    

Li Xuan frowned and was a little displeased with such an answer, but he held it in and continued, "No, no, you don't have to answer so quickly. You can go back and think about it. There is still time. Not everyone has such a good opportunity. As long as you nod your head, you can choose whatever benefits you want. I will do as I say."    

Li Xuan said with a resolute tone, as though he was very confident.    

It was just that he didn't know Chen Xiao and didn't know how good the Purple Cloud City was. That was why he was so self-righteous.    

To put it bluntly, Li Xuan's conditions were extremely good. Not everyone had the qualification to make a promise to the face of a young city lord.    

However, at the same time, Chen Xiao also understood a principle. What was the price?    

When you obtained a certain benefit, you had to pay the corresponding price, and this was the fundamental law of the world's operation, something that could not be changed.    

He knew that if he accepted Li Xuan's benefits, he would have to pay all sorts of prices. Eventually, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would completely collapse and become a fish in the mouth of others. He would be at the mercy of others.    

In order to get rid of such a fate, Chen Xiao had put in countless efforts and taken so many risks with his life, so how could he give up so easily?    

Now, although he could not obtain too many benefits while staying in the Purple Cloud City, he was very free and could even occasionally receive the guidance of the Marquis Zi Jin.    

Just on this point, he was already very satisfied. A person could not be too greedy.    

He looked at him and smiled as he said, "Little Prince, you've misunderstood me. The Duke of Zi Jin treats me quite well. If I leave now, wouldn't I be ungrateful? I can't agree to you. Little Prince, please."    

This time, Chen Xiao made his words clear, not leaving any room for retreat for the two of them.    

"You... Hmph!"    

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Li Xuan's face turned cold as he looked at Chen Xiao with some anger.    

He laughed in ridicule, and said: "Chen Xiao, as far as I know, the Marquis Zi Jin doesn't owe you much. Your words are just perfunctory to me. There is no need to rush. You can take your time to think about it. I will wait for your final answer."    

Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold as he said coldly: "In my opinion, some people are used to being high and mighty, so they don't understand what others are saying."    

These words were already very serious as he mocked and ridiculed Li Xuan, but Li Xuan acted as if he hadn't heard them.    

Being thick-skinned was the most basic thing for a young city lord, so Li Xuan didn't care.    

He just looked at Chen Xiao with a profound expression and continued, "No, you will change your mind. Why don't we make a bet?"    

Li Xuan was very confident in this matter.    

Since the other party didn't want to submit to him, he would think of a way to threaten and tempt him. He had plenty of ways to deal with such a mere rogue cultivator. It wasn't difficult at all.    

Chen Xiao naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's words. His eyes were cold as he replied, "Young Prince, I hope you are just saying that. Just pretend that I have never heard of it."    

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see. What I want has never failed."    

Li Xuan replied coldly, revealing the arrogant and domineering attitude of everything before him, as if he did not put Chen Xiao in his eyes at all.    

He was very confident that the other party would eventually submit, no matter what method he used.    

This was a threat and also a warning.    

The two sides harbored malicious intentions as they confronted each other and stared coldly at each other. For a moment, anger and surging killing intent surged in Chen Xiao's heart.    

"I'll remember what you said, Li Xuan." Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, regaining his composure.    

"Humph!"    

Li Xuan snorted coldly and did not say anything. He didn't even know why, but he felt a little regret in his heart just now. He regretted coming here to provoke this person.    

Because he saw killing intent in Chen Xiao's eyes.    

Yes, undisguised killing intent, and the killing intent that was coming at him. For a moment, Li Xuan only felt that it was absurd. How could this guy dare to reveal killing intent to him?    

One had to know that he was Li Xuan, the son of the City Lord Li Zhan, and the future Young City Lord of Sky Battling City. He was a great existence that stood below one person and above ten thousand people. How could this guy dare to do that?    

Li Xuan was very angry, and he was also very angry. Therefore, he decided to do something to make the other party submit.    

Since coercion and bribery didn't work, he might as well use coercion. Li Xuan didn't mind at all.
