Peerless War God

Fu Xue looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of uneasiness in her charming eyes.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao smiled, and the corner of his mouth opened wide, and he said, "So, how did you know about this news? Did you hear it from the grapevine?"    

"This ..." Gu Lan Yue and the other two were instantly stunned.    

Only after being reminded by him did they come to a realization. It seemed that they had really heard about it from hearsay and had been instilled with such thoughts.    

"On the way here, a cultivator told us about it." Fu Xue replied with an innocent expression.    

"Y-yes, Captain." Gu Lan Yue's brows furrowed as she seemed to have thought of something.    

Zuo Zhao's face darkened and his heart thumped. He said, "You guys also met another cultivator. He told you guys."    

"Yes." The two girls replied.    

"It seems that we have been through the same thing. When I was just about to go and collect the information, someone came to us and talked about it. It seems that they have ulterior motives. Captain, what should we do next?"    

Zuo Zhao couldn't make up his mind, so he could only look at Chen Xiao.    

The four of them stared at Chen Xiao, waiting for him to speak up.    

"There must be something strange going on. Let's not get involved in this matter." Chen Xiao said.    

"This, is this alright?" Zuo Zhao was a little anxious, "If this is true, then wouldn't it mean that we have wasted this great opportunity?"    

"That's right, captain. Why don't we think about it again? Perhaps it really is a good opportunity." Gu Feng also said.    

Chen Xiao looked at everyone and sneered, saying, "Really? There's no such thing as taking the initiative to come here."    

These words were equivalent to Chen Xiao having made up his mind. If he didn't want to get involved in this matter, at least he would be able to temporarily draw a clear line between them.    

"But..." Zuo Zhao wanted to say something but hesitated.    

"Captain!" Gu Feng also wanted to say something.    

"Captain, don't be afraid of ten thousand. Just in case we have to do something." Gu Lanyue said unwillingly.    

Seeing the attitude of the three of them, Chen Xiao did not immediately say anything. Instead, he looked at Fu Xue and asked: "Fu Xue, what do you think?    

Being stared at like this, Fu Xue felt a little guilty and said, "I will listen to captain."    

"Alright then," Chen Xiao nodded his head in satisfaction, "Since everyone has differing opinions, let's analyze together what exactly is going on with this exploration mission."    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out the simple star map that Yuan Xing had given him previously. He then looked at Zuo Zhao and asked, "Zuo Zhao, where is the star map that I told you to make. Did you find it?"    

Seeing this, Zuo Zhao's tense face relaxed a little. He said, "I bought it. Captain, take a look."    

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and placed it on the table. His finger lightly tapped on it, and an illusory light screen appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was a dream.    

In the light screen, there were countless stars shining. It was as if a starry sky of the universe was gathering on it.    

"What a beautiful map!" Fu Xue exclaimed.    

"It's quite beautiful. Well done, Zuo Zhao," Gu Lanyue also praised.    

Zuo Zhao's face was filled with joy, but he didn't say anything.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he casually set up an Isolation Barrier to prevent their conversation from being spied on. He asked, "How much did this star map cost?"    

Zuo Zhao grinned and said, "Captain, it didn't cost much money. Just treat it as my contribution to the team. Hehe."    

"No, as the old saying goes, even blood brothers have to settle accounts openly. This is even more so for our temporary team."    

With just a few words, Chen Xiao stopped Zuo Zhao.    

Perhaps Zuo Zhao had good intentions, but Chen Xiao knew very well that he absolutely could not do so. Once he did so, it would be a disaster. Each of them had their own selfish motives, which was very detrimental to the team leader's long-term existence.    

Since everyone had formed a temporary team of five, it was better for them to be fair so that they could last for a long time.    

After all, it was a fight to the death. It was not a game.    

"This ..."    

Zuo Zhao was stunned for a moment. His face was ugly. He realized that he seemed to have done something wrong again. He sighed in his heart and felt helpless.    

"Alright, it's decided. How much did you spend on this star map? The five of us will split it equally." Chen Xiao made a decision.    

"Yes, we will split it evenly. We won't let you suffer any losses, Zuo Zhao." Gu Lanyue agreed.    

"Mm, it's best if we split it evenly. We don't owe each other." Gu Feng agreed.    

"I also think that the captain is right." Fu Xue said.    

Chen Xiao glanced at the four of them and then looked at the depressed Zuo Zhao. He said in a deep voice, "All of you must remember that when you exert your strength, you share it equally. When you get the benefits, you share them equally. Only then can our temporary team last for a long time. Otherwise, it will not be long before the people disperse. Do you understand?"    

"Understood." The four of them replied, their eyes shining.    

"Captain, I... I spent five million immortal jades on this star map," Zuo Zhao mumbled and said.    

..."" Chen Xiao.    

"Damn, Zuo Zhao, you must have been blackmailed. A mere star map actually costs five million immortal jades, you ..."    

When Gu Feng heard this, he was the first one who could not hold it in and started cursing. He almost jumped up and down.    

Gu Lanyue also rolled her eyes and said, "Zuo Zhao, you must have been tricked."    

"Sigh!" Fu Xue sighed and could only admit it.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "One million immortal jades per person, give it to Zuo Zhao."    

As he spoke, he was the first to take out enough immortal jades and give them to Zuo Zhao.    

Although one million immortal jades was not a small sum, it was nothing to the people present.    

Zuo Zhao took the four million immortal jades from the four of them with an awkward expression as he tried to explain.    

"Captain, there is a cheaper star map, but this star map is the most detailed and complete. That's why it's so expensive. I didn't get scammed."    

.... "" Gu Lanyue and Fu Xue.    

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Xiao no longer hesitated and opened the star map instead.    

As the huge star map unfolded, a universe of stars appeared in front of everyone's eyes, expanding with the planet where the God Realm Continent was located at the center.    

Chen Xiao glanced at it a few times and said, "This is the God Domain Continent. We are here, Immortal King Throne."    

He pointed at the star map and quickly found the exact location of everyone.    

It had to be said that this expensive star map had its advantages. When he pointed to a certain place, there was also a brief introduction. This point was very useful, especially for the newbies who had just arrived here.    

This seemingly insignificant information was sometimes more important.    

Just like that, the five of them surrounded the huge star map and started to study it carefully.    

A moment later, Chen Xiao pointed to the huge star map and said: "Look, with the Immortal King Seat as the center, there are three vast star regions. The closest star region is within five hundred thousand miles from the Divine Domain. The distance between five hundred thousand miles to three million miles is the middle star region, and the distance of over three million miles is the outer star region."    

"Okay." The four of them nodded.
