Peerless War God

"Life."    

There was nothing to hesitate about between life and death, so Chen Xiao and Fu Zhenghong made a decisive choice.    

Of course, it was life.    

"Haha!" The old Sand King, who was sitting on the throne, laughed and said, "I thought that the humans were all righteous and fearless. I didn't expect them to be afraid of death as well."    

Fu Zhenghong's eyebrows furrowed. He was a bit gloomy and ugly, but he had no choice but to lower his head.    

She lowered her head and was silent.    

It was Chen Xiao who retorted, "Sand King, you must be joking. Everyone will be afraid of death, whether it is humans, demons, or other races. There are no exceptions."    

When the old Sand King heard this, his smile disappeared. He nodded and said, "You're right."    

"So, what is the difference between these two choices?" Fu Zhenghong raised his head and asked.    

"Since you want to live, you have to do one thing for me. After that, I will keep my promise and let you two go. How about it?"    

The Sand King said coldly. It didn't sound like a negotiation.    

"This..." Fu Zhenghong hesitated.    

In her opinion, what the Sand King had ordered them to do wasn't a good thing. It was a trap that he had purposely dug for them to jump into.    

If that was the case, they might as well go all out and fight to the death. There might still be a chance.    

However, Chen Xiao didn't think so. He pulled Fu Zhenghong's sleeve and stopped her.    

Then, he took a step forward and said, "We agreed, but what did the Sand King order us to do? If it's too difficult, I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint you."    

"It is not difficult at all. It is definitely within your capabilities."    

The Sand King smiled and said.    

"Then what is it?" Chen Xiao asked.    

"Pass on my message," the Sand King said.    

"This..."    

... ""    

... The two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to do. The fact that such a thing had happened to them showed that the Sha Race wasn't very confident.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that's not good. In that case, wouldn't the people from the Immortal Weapon Sect be able to see through it?"    

"It doesn't matter. Truth and falsehood, truth and falsehood, they are all suspicions of one another. The humans will never trust the Sha Clan, and neither will the Sha Clan trust the humans. There's nothing wrong with that. Besides, only humans can enter the place where the Blue Cloud Association is."    

The old Sha King said faintly. Everything was within his plan.    

"Green Cloud Association?"    

"I have already sent a message to the three major factions, the Immortal Artifact Sect, the Profound Core Sect, and the Yao God Hall. I have arranged for them to meet at the Blue Cloud Association."    

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment. He felt that this matter was not difficult.    

He nodded his head and said, "If it's just a message, then I'll agree."    

"Alright."    

The Sand King laughed. While speaking, it suddenly raised its hand. Two golden imprints appeared and landed on Chen Xiao and the Sand King's bodies.    

"Hiss ~"    

The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air. They felt a bone-piercing pain, as if their entire bodies had been pierced through.    

However, after a careful examination, they found that there was nothing wrong with their bodies. There was only an additional mark that had been embedded into their bones.    

"This is..."    

Fu Zhenghong was shocked, and his face darkened.    

"Sand King, what is the meaning of this?" Chen Xiao raised his head and asked.    

The Sand King did not mind and said, "It's just a small trick. Don't worry, this imprint is harmless. It will disappear after a year."    

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but he still endured it.    

"Sand King, you are really cautious. You actually left such a contingency plan."    

"Yes, humans are always cunning. There's nothing wrong with being cautious. Furthermore, I learned these techniques from you humans."    

"Hehe, is that so?" Chen Xiao said with a fake smile, almost cursing in his heart.    

The Sand King's face was cold and stern as he said, "Don't hold a grudge against me. I am already very kind to let you live. If it was before, you two would have died a long time ago."    

This was a direct threat.    

Fu Zhenghong was about to attack, but he swallowed his words.    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Sand King, you are merciful."    

"Heh, I don't care what you think. Go down, don't have any evil thoughts. In a month, we will set off for the Dark Green Cloud Meeting."    

The Sand King waved his hand and sent the two of them away.    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao and the other man left the golden hall as they were told.    

On the throne, the face of the Sand King, who had been incomparably majestic a moment ago, suddenly flushed red. He coughed violently twice. He covered his mouth and nose with his hand, only to see that his palm was covered in blood.    

...    

After returning to the side hall, Fu Zhenghong was the first to sit down and start to heal.    

He saw streams of green energy rushing toward the mark on his chest, trying to wipe it off or cover it up, but it was useless.    

After a while, Fu Zhenghong was sweating, but the mark left by the Sand King didn't move at all.    

Fu Zhenghong had no choice but to give up. He sighed and said, "This mark is very troublesome. It can't be removed."    

She rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "Don't waste your energy, the Sand King is a true Immortal level expert. Their strength has long since exceeded our understanding. If he doesn't want us to remove this imprint, there's nothing we can do."    

Fu Zhenghong gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can only wait for death? Do you really believe the Shah's nonsense about the mark disappearing on its own in a year?"    

Chen Xiao spread out his hands and said, "So what if I don't believe it? Can you beat him?"    

"I..."    

Fu Zhenghong's expression was ugly. He was so angry that his eyes turned green.    

But without a doubt, Chen Xiao's words were right. They had fallen to this point, and there was no room for resistance.    

That was true. The two of them were only cultivators of the Immortal Realm. Compared to the Sand King of the Immortal Realm, one was far superior.    

"We have to lower our heads. Think about it from a different perspective. At least we are still alive."    

Chen Xiao said again.    

Fu Zhenghong let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe you're right. I just hope that the Sand King won't go back on his word when the time comes."    

"I don't think so."    

Chen Xiao said uncertainly.    

... "" Fu Zhenghong.    

Soon, the two of them quieted down again. Fu Zhenghong continued to heal her injuries. The injuries to her soul would not recover for a while.    

At this moment, Xi Luo spoke in a low tone in his Soul Sea.    

"Luckily, you didn't leave."    

"What do you mean? Xi Luo, did you find something?"    

Hearing Xiluo's words, Chen Xiao, who was still nervous a moment ago, became spirited and asked telepathically.
