Peerless War God

"Heh, little girl Xue, you still can't see it clearly enough. Do you know that the Purple Gold Marquis has always wanted his Purple Cloud City to become a neutral city? He wants to make a name for himself in the Quinan Province, but he doesn't want a single leaf to touch him. This is something that many people don't like, so they secretly set up traps for the Purple Cloud City."    

"A neutral city? Isn't that good?" Fu Xue said naively.    

Hearing this, Fu Yanshan smiled and lowered his head. He took a few big sips from his teacup.    

"It is good," Fu Zhenghong let out a long breath, and his eyes were full of reminiscence. "But it requires strength and true ability. It is easy to arouse the suspicion and covetousness of various forces. Before that, the Purple Gold Marquis had to compromise with various forces and survive in the cracks. He only existed until now because he occasionally worked for them. But it's different now."    

"What's different, Senior," Fu Xue asked curiously.    

"People are different."    

"People? You mean the two new immortal-levels in the Purple Cloud City?"    

No matter how naive she was, she could guess it.    

She also knew how much effort the Purple Cloud City had to put in to remain neutral under the pressure of the various factions, especially the Unparalleled Divine Dynasty.    

It wasn't easy for the Duke of Purple Gold back then.    

Fu Zhenghong sighed and said, "To be more precise, it was Chen Xiao's appearance that broke this tacit understanding. As for the Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign, his strength is unfathomable, and he has long been regarded as an expert comparable to the Immortal Realm by all the forces, no exception. It's just that Chen Xiao's sudden rise is too fast, catching countless people off guard. One city, three Immortals, what a terrifying force, hehe."    

The laugh was a mixture of bitterness and envy.    

If the Fu Clan had such confidence, why would they be forced to do something against their will by the Yuan Clan? After all, they were weaker than the Yuan Clan, so they had to lower their heads.    

After Fu Xue heard this, she more or less understood and asked, "What does this have to do with the Fu Family?"    

Fu Zhenghong turned his head and rolled his eyes at her. He said, "It's all because you're too close to Chen Xiao."    

"Me?" Fu Xue was stunned. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and hesitation as she asked worriedly, "Ancestor, did I do something wrong?"    

Fu Zhenghong shook his head and said, "You are not wrong. They are the ones who are wrong. You have to remember that."    

"Oh." Fu Xue replied. She didn't really understand.    

Fu Zhenghong patted Fu Xue's head affectionately, as if he had seen himself when he was young, and said in a gentle voice: "Rest for a while, and don't let your thoughts run wild. It will be at least two more days before we get to the Grey Cloud Meeting."    

"Hmm. I know, Ancestor." Fu Xue replied obediently.    

"Hehe." Fu Zhenghong laughed.    

Right at this moment, the alarm array in the room flashed. Fu Zhenghong's expression turned cold. He raised his head and was about to speak when he heard Chen Xiao's voice.    

"Old Madam Fu, I need to talk to you about something."    

Fu Zhenghong heaved a sigh of relief. It was a false alarm, and he said snappily, "What is it? We're about to arrive at the Blue Cloud Association. Don't cause any more trouble."    

Chen Xiao could hear the complaint in her voice, but he did not care. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.    

"Do you know those two evil cultivators who just went up the Cloud Tower?"    

Chen Xiao's question was a little strange. Fu Zhenghong said seriously, "I don't know them, but I've heard of them. Is there a problem?"    

"Madam, didn't you arrange these two?" Chen Xiao asked.    

Fu Zhenghong's eyes turned cold as he coldly said, "Chen Xiao, don't accuse others out of thin air. My Fu Family has always been open and aboveboard, so how could we associate with evil cultivators? Those two people have nothing to do with me. What do you mean by that?"    

She was truly a little angry, but her heart was filled with doubt.    

She knew that Chen Xiao was not a shallow person who would pester others without any reason.    

Could it be that he had discovered something?    

"There's something wrong with those two," Chen Xiao said directly.    

When Fu Zhenghong heard this, his eyelids kept twitching. "Something wrong? What problem?"    

Chen Xiao remained silent for a moment. He really couldn't say anything about this matter.    

He could finally tell that these cultivators of the Immortal Realm had extremely poor perception of the aura of the Demon Race. They were far from being on the same level as Hiro.    

If he told Fu Zhenghong about it, Fu Zhenghong might not believe him, but how could he explain it?    

He scratched his head and felt a headache. That was indeed a problem.    

However, after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth. It was for Fu Xue's sake.    

"There's the aura of the Demon Race on those two."    

"What? Are you serious?" Fu Zhenghong was shocked. Her face was twisted, and her face was dark purple.    

If Chen Xiao's words were true, it meant that at this time, everyone had already fallen into a devil's den.    

She didn't mind at all. As an Immortal Realm expert, she naturally wasn't afraid, but there was still Fu Xue.    

"Old Ancestor, you..." When Fu Yanshan, who was standing at the side, saw this, his expression tensed up and he asked curiously.    

Fu Zhenghong waved his hand and stopped him.    

"Chen Xiao, you can't say that. How did you know? Do you have a special method to detect the aura of the Demon Race?"    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. He knew that Fu Zhenghong would ask this question. As for the matter of Xiluo, he would naturally not tell him even if he was beaten to death.    

After all, this concerned his biggest secret and trump card.    

"I do have a method to detect the aura of the Demon Race, but I can't tell you the specifics."    

Fu Zhenghong frowned and looked deeply at Chen Xiao. She felt that she could not see through the person in front of her anymore. He was clearly a kid who was only a thousand years old, but his scheming and methods were so sophisticated. He had so many cards up his sleeve that she even began to doubt herself.    

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. I'll believe you this time. What do you plan to do?"    

"It's very simple. Go directly to Su Bucai and confront him. Let's see what he has to say. If he can't say anything, then it's better not to sit on this Black Feathered Demon Roc," Chen Xiao said coldly.    

"Alright, I'll go with you."    

Fu Zhenghong nodded. This was the safest way. She didn't believe that Yuan Bufeng, who was only the Third Elder of the Yuan Clan, would be in cahoots with these evil cultivators.    

"Okay, let's go."    

Chen Xiao shouted. The two of them disappeared in a flash and appeared at the top of the Cloud Tower, looking down.    

On the outer edge of the Cloud Tower, two evil cultivators were staring coldly at the two of them. Their eyes were like snakes and scorpions, causing people's hearts to tremble. They did not have good intentions.    

One was tall and the other was thin. One was old, and the other was green. Both of them had their faces covered so that no one would be able to recognize them. The young one was full of killing intent while the elder's aura was dark and wicked.    

"The two of you are here to look at the scenery as well?"    

The old man spoke. His voice was very low, like sand grinding against each other, making one's ears feel uncomfortable.    

"Hehe." The evil youth revealed a wicked expression.
