Peerless War God

Yi Tianren's face was cold and he remained silent. He was still thinking about what the City Lord of Floating Cloud City said just now. What did he mean?    

After a moment, he snorted and cupped his hands, saying, "City Lord, I have something to do. I'll take my leave first."    

The City Lord turned around and waved his hand casually, saying, "Go."    

Yi Tianren bowed slightly, turned around, and left. Before he left, he did not forget to scold Yi Qianling, saying, "Go."    

"Oh, okay, Grandfather."    

Although Yi Qianling was extremely unwilling, his eyes were spitting fire. He wanted to teach Chen Xiao a lesson and repay the humiliation he had suffered, but he still listened to Yi Tianren's words.    

After saying that, he obediently followed behind Yi Tianren.    

Before he left, Yi Qianling suddenly turned around and said to Chen Xiao telepathically, "Wait for me. I will find you again."    

"..." Chen Xiao did not respond, but his eyes were filled with coldness.    

In his heart, he naturally scoffed at Yi Qianling. In his opinion, without Yi Tianren's support, Yi Qianling was nothing.    

In the end, he was just reincarnated to have the courage to do evil and act recklessly.    

Humph, you want to find me? I still want to find you. Don't let me catch the opportunity. We'll settle it together.    

After Yi Tianren left, the cultivators left one after another. Chen Xiao glanced at them and was about to leave.    

"Let's go."    

"Alright."    

Fu Zhenghong nodded.    

"Chen Xiao, you stay here for a while. I have something to talk to you about." Suddenly, the City Lord's voice transmission sounded in Chen Xiao's mind.    

His feet stopped and he was stunned for a moment. His expression was very spirited, with surprise and a little nervousness.    

Fu Zhenghong saw his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"    

"Nothing. Wait for me outside. The City Lord has something to tell me." Chen Xiao told the truth.    

"What? The City Lord has something to tell you? This …"    

Fu Zhenghong's heart was in a mess, and he began to worry.    

Chen Xiao's heart warmed, and he smiled, saying, "No worries, it's fine. The City Lord is a kind person, so he won't make things difficult for me."    

"But, alright, I'll wait for you outside."    

Fu Zhenghong did not force it. He bowed to the City Lord and left.    

At this time, there were no other cultivators in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Only the City Lord and Chen Xiao were left. The cultivators on the left and right were all dismissed by him.    

The City Lord had a refined temperament. He sat by the stone table and waved at him, "Come, sit here."    

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, but he still braced himself and walked over. He said, "I wonder what the City Lord wants me to stay here for?"    

Chen Xiao chose to stand straight, not daring to sit down.    

The City Lord had completely expected his reaction. He smiled and said, "No need to be so nervous. I want to ask you a few things, and I won't make things difficult for you."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.    

"Is it about the attack on the Cloud Tower?"    

"Yes, this matter has been a hot topic recently, and a few Immortal Realm cultivators have died. Coincidentally, it happened to be near my Gray Cloud City, so I naturally have to be concerned about it. And you are the party involved, so it's best to ask you directly. What do you think?"    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City said in a calm tone, as if he was just chatting casually.    

However, Chen Xiao was very clear that the City Lord of Floating Cloud City appeared relaxed and carefree on the surface, but in reality, this matter was of great importance. It involved the Dark Shrine, the Peerless Dynasty, and all kinds of conspiracies.    

The slightest mistake could very likely lead to eternal damnation.    

Therefore, he had to be extremely careful.    

"Yes, City Lord, you are so quick-witted. I am convinced," Chen Xiao replied.    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City nodded slightly, pointed at the stone bench, and said, "Sit."    

Although his tone was calm, it had a kind of unquestionable dignity.    

Chen Xiao paused for a moment and sat down as he was told.    

"Haha, that's right. Young people should be full of vigor and vitality. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. I won't eat you."    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud laughed and said.    

"..." Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "City Lord, you must be joking."    

"Come, tell me, what exactly happened?"    

"Yes, City Lord. That day, I, Madam Fu, and a few companions set off from the Setting Sun City..."    

Chen Xiao calmed his mind and told him everything that had happened.    

Of course, he hid some of the details. After all, the secrets of his own cultivation could not be revealed.    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City understood this, but he did not ask any more questions.    

Every cultivator had their own secrets, and they were all different. Especially the cultivation methods, they were all secrets. How could they be easily revealed? He naturally understood.    

After a moment, Chen Xiao finished speaking. The City Lord of Floating Cloud City thought for a moment and asked, "According to what you said, it was a strange devil insect that first controlled Yuan Buxie's soul, which was why there was such an accident?"    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City calmed down and said, "If I'm not wrong, that should be the Soul Devouring Devil Insect, also known as the Soul Controlling Devil Insect. It is an extremely terrifying devil insect that can possess the soul."    

Chen Xiao nodded in his heart. Xiluo also said so. It seemed that the City Lord of Floating Cloud City was really knowledgeable.    

As expected of the City Lord of Green Cloud City, he really had a lot of experience.    

"Soul Devouring Devil Insect?" On the surface, Chen Xiao showed a look of shock.    

"Yes, the Soul Devouring Devil Insect. With devil insects, there will be a soul-controlling master. The soul-controlling master and the devil insect are one and the same. They cannot be separated, but according to what you said, there was no soul-controlling master in the entire process. It is a bit strange."    

The Floating Cloud City Lord began to ponder.    

"Insect Master?"    

Chen Xiao was slightly startled and asked Xi Luo, "Xi Luo, is there such an existence as an Insect Master?"    

"Insect Master? Is there such an existence? I clearly remember that the Soul Controlling Demon Bug is very easy to control. It is not rare in the Demon Race. Could it be that I have been sleeping for too long and the Demon Race has regressed?"    

For a moment, Xi Luo was also caught in a huge dilemma.    

"..." Chen Xiao's eyes rolled, and he did not know what to say for a while.    

Sure enough, Xi Luo was not very reliable sometimes.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao asked again, "Lord City Lord, what is this Insect Master?"    

"Oh, you're interested? It's nothing. This is a division of the Demon Race. These demons focus on the path of controlling the Demon Bug. Although their personal strength is not strong, the Demon Bug they control is extremely powerful. It is somewhat similar to the Spirit Beast Sect. It's just that the Spirit Beast Sect controls spirit beasts to fight, while the Demon Race's Insect Master controls Demon Bugs."    

The Floating Cloud City Lord explained.    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he gained a lot of knowledge. He became curious again, "This Demon Insect Master is actually so powerful. It should be extremely difficult to successfully ambush Yuan Buxian."    

"That may not be the case. The strength of the Insect Master is determined by the Demon Bug they control. The Demon Bug can deal with Yuan Buxian, who is at the Immortal Realm, but its original body may not be so powerful."    

The Floating Cloud City Lord chuckled and did not mind.
