Peerless War God

Hearing that, Chen Xiao opened his eyes, revealing a sharp cold light, and said coldly: "What, does the reward in the All-Knowing Hall require you to tell me the process? If that's the case, then there's no need."    

With that, Chen Xiao stood up.    

Putting aside the fact that he had never heard of such a request before, even if there was one, he would definitely not reveal it. This was related to his trump cards and methods, so he did not want to easily reveal it.    

Not even in the Master's Hall.    

Seeing that Chen Xiao's attitude was so firm, the Seventh Deacon's expression immediately changed, turning into an apologetic smile, and he immediately said: "My lord, please calm down. If you are not willing to say it, our Master Hall will not force you. Please wait a moment, the reward will be here soon."    

Chen Xiao sneered, his face full of disdain. However, he endured it and did not flare up. Instead, he sat down again. He wanted to see what this Seventh Deacon was up to.    

In his opinion, this was just a method of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He did not expect that the grand Battle Sky City would also be so dirty and make people laugh.    

Luckily, he did not agree to Li Zhan's request. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to escape after falling into the trap.    

After a while, another Tribulation Transcender walked over and took out an storage ring. He handed it to the Seventh Deacon. After the Seventh Deacon checked it, he walked in front of Chen Xiao.    

"Has my reward arrived?" Chen Xiao opened one eye and asked.    

"Yes, yes, please keep it well." The Seventh Deacon handed the storage ring to Chen Xiao and said carefully.    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao nodded his head, took it over and looked at it. Immediately, he frowned and said: "Why is there only seven hundred million immortal jades? The reward clearly stated that it was a reward of one billion immortal jades. Could it be that even the Heaven Battling City would not admit it? If that's the case, hmph!"    

Chen Xiao's face turned cold as he angrily rebuked.    

The Seventh Deacon was so scared that his face trembled. He was shocked and immediately explained, "Lord Chen Xiao, listen to my explanation. The reward is indeed one billion immortal jades, but according to the rules, our All-Knowing Hall has to take thirty percent of the processing fee, and you only have 700 million in your hands. Look..."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's anger subsided a little and he said, "If that's the case, then alright. I'll take my leave."    

He was also aware of the matter of the processing fee. This kind of thing was not very new.    

Although it was a bit painful for him to lose thirty percent all of a sudden, it seemed reasonable. Well, it was an unexpected fortune after all. He had earned seven hundred million immortal jades.    

After that, he left the corpse of the Earth Ghost Immortal and got up to leave. He didn't want to stay any longer.    

After Chen Xiao left, the Seventh Deacon let out a long breath, adjusted his collar twice, and changed from his previous submissive appearance to a sinister one.    

He sneered, "Heh, sure enough, you're just a country bumpkin from a small place like the Purple Cloud City. With a few words, you managed to hold me back and made me run away."    

The Tribulation Transcender on the side also quickly agreed, "Lord Deacon is wise. We're going to be rich this time."    

"Those who see have a share."    

"Thank you, Deacon. Thank you, Deacon. I'll do my best to keep your secret."    

"What's there to keep a secret? Everyone should get a share." The Seventh Deacon said coldly.    

Hearing this, the Tribulation Transcender was stunned for a moment before understanding. He gave the Seventh Deacon a big thumbs up and said, "G-Great Deacon, you're really good. I never thought of this."    

"Heh, learn more. Go and split the immortal jade."    

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." The Tribulation Transcender turned around and left as he spoke.    

The smile on the Seventh Deacon's face instantly became even wider.    

...    

At the entrance of the All-Knowing Hall, the more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He stopped and started to think.    

"Isn't 30% of the service fee a bit too high? I can ask a few people about this," he thought to himself.    

Suddenly, a figure that was as big as a small mountain descended from the sky and stood in front of him.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up. It was Zuo Zhao, whom he had not seen for many years.    

He looked him up and down and saw that he was dressed in a loose black robe that concealed his rock-bursting muscles. However, he was eight feet tall and his waist was as thick as two ordinary people.    

"Greetings, Lord Zuo Zhao."    

"Greetings, Lord Zuo Zhao."    

Many cultivators recognized Zuo Zhao when they saw him. They hurriedly went up to greet him, but Zuo Zhao waved his hand to send them away.    

"Captain, you've come to the Battle Sky City." Zuo Zhao bowed slightly and greeted Chen Xiao.    

Such a simple action shocked countless cultivators who passed by. They were so shocked that their eyes bulged. Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.    

"Who is that man? How could he make Lord Zuo Zhao bow to him in such a humble way?"    

"Hiss. I am afraid this man has an extraordinary background. Go and find out who he is."    

"That is Lord Zuo Zhao, the super evildoer who has the Xuan-Tian Treasure, the honorable guest of the War King's Palace, a cultivator with a bright future, yet he is so humble in front of this man. Who is this man?"    

In an instant, the area in front of the Hall of All Things was in an uproar. A stone stirred up a thousand waves, attracting the eyes of countless people.    

"Uh... Captain, I didn't think it would be like this," Zuo Zhao explained with embarrassment.    

Chen Xiao laughed. It could be seen that Zuo Zhao was living quite well in the War King Palace.    

Not only had his strength improved, but his aura had also become more condensed. This was a good thing. Back in the Immortal King's seat, Zuo Zhao had obtained the Blood God Armor, which was a Mystic Sky Treasure. It should be the most compatible with him.    

Judging from the reactions of these cultivators, Zuo Zhao had a high position in the city and was respected.    

It seemed that his choice was right. Compared to him, it was quite a contrast, but Chen Xiao did not regret it.    

Although the Heaven Battling City was good, it might not be suitable for him.    

Chen Xiao smiled, looked around, and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."    

"Alright, captain, please follow me."    

Zuo Zhao brought Chen Xiao to his residence in the Heaven Battling City. It was a separate area in the northern city. The mountains and rivers were like a paradise on earth. In this Heaven Battling City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, it could be said to be luxurious.    

"Captain, please." Zuo Zhao personally served tea and placed it in front of Chen Xiao.    

After Zuo Zhao took a sip, he said, "It seems that you have been living a good life in the War King's Palace. I'm afraid this residence is the only one."    

Zuo Zhao smiled and scratched his head. He said, "Captain, you must be joking. I am only who I am today because of you. If you didn't help me win the Blood God Armor, I would just be an ordinary cultivator."
