Peerless War God

The guard nodded happily, but when he raised his head, Chen Xiao was already nowhere to be seen. His face was filled with surprise.    

Chen Xiao stepped into the Myriad Hall. It was even cleaner than he had imagined. There were a lot of people, but it was not noisy at all. It was extremely quiet. There were nine counters on three sides of the hall. There were a total of nine receptionists, both men and women.    

He swept his gaze and found a female receptionist who was alone. He went up to her and said, "I want to exchange for the reward."    

The female attendant smiled, not daring to be careless in the slightest. She also recognized that Chen Xiao was a Tribulation Transcender, and his aura was astonishing. She was afraid that he was a peak Tribulation Transcender, so she was naturally much more cautious.    

"May I ask, sir, what kind of reward do you want to exchange for?" The female attendant asked.    

"Earth Ghost Immortal."    

"Earth Ghost Immortal? This... " The female waiter opened her eyes wide, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were more than twice as big as before. She stared at Chen Xiao and confirmed, "My lord, are you sure it's a reward for killing the Ghost Immortal?"    

"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded. He was a little confused by the female attendant's excessive reaction.    

He knew that the reward for the Earth Ghost Immortal was shocking and quite famous, but he shouldn't be so surprised.    

However, what Chen Xiao did not know was that the Earth Ghost Immortal had been causing trouble for many years. It had killed countless mortals and cultivators, and it had committed many evil deeds. It had caused the people in the Queinan Province to be in a state of panic, and there had been a constant increase in rewards. It was also a famous evil cultivator in the Heaven Battling City, the kind that could stop children from crying at night.    

"Sir, you killed the Earth Ghost Immortal?" The female attendant asked in disbelief.    

"Yes."    

Hearing this, the waitress became a little nervous and said, "Then can you show me some evidence? It's not that you don't trust me."    

Chen Xiao laughed. It was really funny that someone would dare to take it.    

However, he also understood that it was right to be cautious.    

His expression was somewhat playful as he said, "Right here?"    

"En, is there something wrong?" The female attendant blinked her eyes a few times and said.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and did not say anything else. With a wave of his right hand, he took out the Earth Ghost Immortal's corpse from his storage ring and placed it on the ground.    

In an instant, an evil aura mixed with a disgusting stench of corpses filled the entire Myriad Hall, emitting a disturbing feeling.    

The female attendant screamed and took three steps back in fear as her expression changed dramatically.    

Not only that, the enormous Myriad Forms Palace also attracted many spectators.    

"What's that? Whose corpse is that? What an evil aura!"    

"It seems to be an evil cultivator, but he was killed without any injuries. I wonder how he did it."    

"What a terrifying technique. I can't see anything wrong with him at all. I don't know how long it has been since someone like him appeared in our Quinan Province. I must get to know him."    

Chen Xiao laughed as he looked at the female attendant and said indifferently, "Is this okay?"    

The female attendant was still in a state of shock. Although she had seen many corpses, this was the first time she had seen such an evil aura that was close to materializing into a baleful aura.    

If a normal mortal came close to this corpse, they would either be haunted by nightmares or die from the evil aura.    

Chen Xiao only dared to take out the Earth Ghost Immortal's corpse to prove himself after considering that everyone present was a cultivator.    

"But, please quickly put away the corpse," The female attendant hurriedly said, looking extremely shocked.    

"Yes." Chen Xiao put away the Earth Ghost Immortal's corpse with an expression.    

Seeing this, the female attendant heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Please follow me."    

Under the guidance of the waitress, the two of them arrived at a back room. Chen Xiao sat down and took a sip of the hot tea the waitress handed him.    

"Which Tribulation Transcender was able to kill the Earth Ghost Immortal? Today, I will have to broaden my horizons."    

A fat male cultivator with a mischievous look walked out from a secret door with a smile on his face. His aura was also that of a Tribulation Transcender.    

Chen Xiao sat still and did not say anything.    

When the plump male cultivator saw this, his expression darkened slightly, but he still walked up with a smile. He cupped his hands and said, "I am the Seventh Deacon of the Myriad Hall. May I know your name?"    

"Chen Xiao," Chen Xiao replied.    

When the Seventh Deacon heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately remembered that there were many rumors about Chen Xiao in the Battle Sky City. The main reason was that he had beaten Li Xuan to the Immortal King's seat and seized the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure.    

He could not help but immediately put away his arrogance. He did not dare to be the slightest bit frivolous, and said in a low voice, "So it's you, Lord Chen Xiao. I have long since heard of your name, and seeing you today is indeed better than hearing your name. I..."    

"Alright, there's no need to waste any more time. Let's get down to business." Chen Xiao frowned and interrupted him. He really didn't want to waste any more time talking to him.    

In his opinion, all of this was meaningless.    

He knew that no matter how much Ye Xiao talked, he was just pretending. He didn't need to waste time.    

"Eh, yes, yes." The Seventh Deacon's face was filled with embarrassment. In his heart, he was also a little unhappy with Chen Xiao, but he did not dare to flare up. Then, he thought, as expected, all experts had bad tempers.    

"Can you bring back the corpse of the Earth Ghost Immortal? After I verify its authenticity, I will be able to receive the reward." The Seventh Deacon changed the topic and said.    

"Alright."    

Chen Xiao wasted no time and took out the corpse of the Earth Ghost Immortal.    

"Hiss ~" When the Seventh Deacon saw this, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as his expression changed slightly.    

The evil aura and resentment gathered on the corpse was definitely not something he had seen before.    

"Please wait a moment, I'll inspect it."    

Chen Xiao nodded slightly as he drank his tea and waited.    

Immediately, the Seventh Deacon squatted down, picked up his hand, and suspended it in the air. He carefully examined it, but when Chen Xiao saw it, he laughed in his heart.    

Ever since he entered this place, he had sensed several extraordinary auras. He faintly used his Divine Sense to observe his body.    

It was obvious that these were Tribulation Transcenders hiding in the dark.    

At this moment, it seemed like the Seventh Deacon was checking the corpse, but in fact, it was several other spiritual wills locking onto the corpse. They were confirming that the Seventh Deacon was just putting on a show.    

Since these people were hiding and didn't want to show up, he didn't need to expose them. He just pretended not to know.    

After a while, the Seventh Deacon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, it's true. Your methods are truly amazing."
