Peerless War God

Hearing this, he frowned with some displeasure and even more hesitation. He sighed, then cupped his fists and said, "Lord Chen Xiao, I trust you have been well since we last met."    

Although it was just a simple word, it contained an unknown amount of bitterness and self-mockery.    

Immortality had always been his goal, but he couldn't find it.    

However, he didn't expect that a cultivator of the same age, who was even younger and more talented than him, could reach the Immortality Stage in one go. It shocked countless people.    

Just this point alone made Li Xuan lose.    

Yet this Chen Xiao was someone he had known before and looked down upon. This had already shattered the last bit of pride in his heart and completely disappeared.    

"This is probably the reason why Dad asked me to come." Li Xuan sighed in his heart.    

Chen Xiao had a calm expression. He could roughly guess what Li Xuan was thinking and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for Zuo Zhao's matter."    

With Zuo Zhao's current status, it was only natural.    

Li Xuan smiled and let out a long breath, as if he had let go of a lot of weight.    

"Lord Chen Xiao is too polite. Zuo Zhao is not a servant of my Duke Palace, but a guest. In the future, he can make his own decisions about this kind of thing, and there is no need to report it. As for the teleportation to Setting Sun City, it is even simpler. Please follow me."    

Setting Sun City was the closest city to Green Cloud City, and it was also the first stop of this trip.    

Using the Heaven Battling City to teleport to Setting Sun City was already a plan.    

"Okay."    

Chen Xiao nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. This Li Zhan was much easier to talk to than he had imagined.    

Immediately, under Li Xuan's lead, the three of them arrived at the square where the teleportation array was located. The group of people floated in the sky and looked down from above.    

At this moment, when they saw Li Xuan appear, many cultivators recognized him and greeted him.    

However, Li Xuan was not interested in this. From time to time, his eyes would sweep across Chen Xiao's body, secretly observing him.    

"We're here. However, we will be teleported to Luori City this time. It's quite far away, so we need to make some preparations. It will take some time for us to be ready. The three of you, please wait by the side." Li Xuan said.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face darkened as he asked, "How long will it take to prepare?"    

At this point, he did not think that the other party would make things difficult for him.    

If they were unwilling to open the teleportation array, they could just say it directly. There was no need to beat around the bush.    

Li Xuan had an apologetic look as he replied, "It will take at least half a day or at most two or three days. It should be ready."    

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "That's good. It's not that long."    

When Xiao Long, who was at the side, saw this, he was very unhappy in his heart. He scolded, "Hey, brat with the surname Li, you can't be deliberately making things difficult for us, right? Are you trying to cause trouble?"    

"Xiao Long, stop talking," Chen Xiao scolded, but he was extremely happy in his heart.    

Li Xuan's face turned bitter and somewhat innocent as he hurriedly explained: "Chen Xiao, you are mistaken. The further the teleportation distance, the more time and immortal jade it will take. It will take even longer to prepare. I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you. Please forgive me."    

"It's fine." Chen Xiao waved his hand.    

Since he was already here, he was not in a hurry. After all, there was still more than half a year before the start of the Dark Cloud Gathering.    

Xiao Long bared his teeth and glared at Li Xuan with an angry expression.    

As for Zuo Zhao, he smiled apologetically and didn't dare interrupt.    

Only then did Li Xuan heave a sigh of relief and say, "Please follow me and wait here."    

Soon, Li Xuan brought the three to a side hall and settled them down for the time being.    

Li Xuan instructed the servants before taking his leave.    

Inside the house, Chen Xiao looked at the busy servants, servants, and maids who were serving tea and preparing various kinds of food and drinks. He immediately frowned.    

"Cough, all of you can leave. There's no need for you here."    

The servants and maids were stunned and did not dare to say anything else.    

"Yes, my lord."    

"Yes, Milord. We will take our leave now. If there is a need, just call for help."    

"Mm."    

Mm. The servants and maids left one after another, and the room immediately became much quieter.    

Xiao Long was a familiar person. She found a seat and grabbed a fruit that was bigger than a human's head. She bit into it, and the juice flowed out. It was sweet and tasty, and the taste was not bad.    

"Brother, this fruit is not bad. It's really delicious."    

"Cough, cough ~" Zuo Zhao covered his face and didn't dare to look at it anymore. He felt embarrassed.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled, "If it's delicious, then eat more."    

"Alright, brother. Oh right, Zuo Zhao, what were you coughing about just now? Is your throat uncomfortable? Then drink more water. My brother always says that it's better to drink more water. " Xiao Long said.    

"Cough, cough ~"    

Zuo Zhao coughed even harder this time. His big face turned red and purple. It was a bit funny.    

After a moment, he retracted his expression and looked at Chen Xiao. He asked worriedly, "Captain, is it okay for us to do this?"    

He was very worried that Li Xuan would play some tricks and cause unnecessary trouble for Chen Xiao.    

"It doesn't matter. Just wait and see. If the other party wants to play any tricks, there's no need to go through so much trouble."    

Chen Xiao said calmly.    

However, things were different now. His strength had reached an even higher level, so he was not afraid of small tricks.    

"Yes." Only then did Zuo Zhao calm down.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked out of the hall. His gaze pierced through the layers of barriers as if he had seen something.    

Suddenly, he laughed.    

Zuo Zhao was also stunned for a moment and asked, "Captain, why are you laughing?"    

"Someone is coming."    

"Oh. Why don't I feel it? Who is it?" Zuo Zhao asked.    

"Someone I know. Someone you know. Heh, heh."    

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth rose as if he had seen something interesting.    

"An acquaintance of mine, this..." Zuo Zhao scratched his head. He was confused.    

However, he soon understood.    

"Captain, big guy, captain, big guy, you guys are here too."    

At this moment, a crisp female voice sounded from outside the hall. It was fresh and pleasing to the ears. Zuo Zhao froze on the spot. His face was a bit stiff, but it was filled with joy.    

It turned out that the familiar person the captain was talking about was Fu Xue.    

Chen Xiao waved his hand, and the door of the hall automatically opened. After that, a green figure flew in from the outside with incomparable agility. It was Fu Xue, who had become even more elegant and charming after dressing up.    

Her beautiful eyes first glanced at Zuo Zhao before she went forward to greet him and said, "Captain."    

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, what are you going to do?"    

"I'm going to the Dark Cloud Group. Captain, could it be that you're here for the same reason?"    

Fu Xue said with a smile.
