Peerless War God

Chen Xiao silently memorized these three words in his heart and paid attention to them.    

The City Lord of the Flowing Cloud City slightly nodded and said, "The Insect Master of the Demon Race is quite strange. Their concealment technique is extremely good, but they will not easily reveal themselves. After controlling Yuan Baitu, the Soul Devouring Demon Insect committed many misdeeds and killed many people. It is truly sinister and vicious to the extreme."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart moved. He had heard about this before.    

It was said that after the attack that day, Yuan Baitu appeared elsewhere and launched an attack on the other cultivators, causing a large number of deaths and injuries. Among them, there was even Qi Fangzhuo's Qi Family.    

Because of this, they had a grudge.    

The cultivators who had lost their friends and relatives all pointed the spearhead at the Yuan Family. There were even many cultivators who directly went to the Yuan Family to seek revenge, and there were even many who directly attacked the Yuan Family.    

Gradually, the situation had the risk of going out of control. It was not easy to suppress it by the Wushuang Divine Emperor, but there were hidden undercurrents surging within, and danger lurked everywhere.    

Until now, Yuan Hongchun had accidentally encountered the ambush of the Darkness Shrine and died. This grudge that had been brewing for a long time could no longer be suppressed.    

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, his heart incomparably solemn.    

He could completely predict that at this time, a bloody storm would be raised in the Wushuang Dynasty.    

After a short pause, Chen Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Does City Lord know about the Dark Shrine?"    

The Floating Cloud City Lord raised his eyebrows. This question was also within his expectations.    

He shook his head and said, "I know, but I don't know. Just as the rumors say, the Dark Shrine, this mysterious existence, has existed since the ancient times, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. It is very mysterious, and no one knows its origin, what kind of methods it has, or what kind of structure it has. Everything is a huge mystery."    

"Is it really passed down from the ancient times? That is the Mythological Era."    

Chen Xiao said with a shocked expression. He had always been skeptical about the origin of the Dark Shrine.    

The ancient times were also known as the Mythological Era. It was an era where the gods were everywhere. At that time, the human race was not prosperous, and it was difficult to survive. It was not like the God Realm today, where the human race ruled.    

No matter how he imagined it, it was hard to imagine the possibility of the Mythological Era, let alone a mysterious force that had been passed down from the Mythological Era.    

But now that he heard the Floating Cloud City Lord's words, he couldn't help but believe it.    

"That's right. What kind of great existence was the Mythological Era? It's simply unimaginable that such a force could be passed down."    

The Floating Cloud City Lord said slowly with a solemn expression.    

There was anticipation in his eyes, but there was also worry. However, there was more confusion.    

"There is one thing I can be sure of. The mysterious power of the Dark Shrine is very strong, very strong."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City nodded in agreement and said, "Such a powerful force suddenly appearing in the Divine Realm is not good for the Divine Realm."    

Chen Xiao's heart trembled and he said, "Does City Lord think that the Dark Shrine is related to the Demon Race?"    

"From what I see, it is related, but as for what kind of relationship it is, I still don't know. I hope it won't be the worst case scenario."    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City said worriedly.    

"..." Chen Xiao was silent for a while, his heart sinking.    

He was thinking, if the worst case scenario really happened, what should he do? He seemed to be unable to think of anything.    

Other than escaping, he did not want to think of any other way.    

He hoped it was not the worst case scenario, he thought to himself.    

At this time, the City Lord of Floating Cloud City chuckled, his expression relaxing a lot as he said, "Alright, don't think too much. Let's talk about proper business."    

"Proper business? What proper business?" Chen Xiao frowned and asked.    

The City Lord of Floating Cloud City smiled and looked at him, saying, "You can hide from others, but you can't hide from me. You came out of the territory of the Sand Clan yourself, and it was personally delivered by Old Sha King, right?"    

"This..."    

Chen Xiao's heart shook greatly, his eyes bulged, and he stared at the City Lord of Floating Cloud City with surprise, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.    

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed across his mind like lightning.    

Finally, he let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Lord City Lord, you already know what time it is."    

"Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I knew it from the beginning." City Lord Liu Yun said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bitter smile on his face.    

Damn, he was played by someone. He was completely unaware of it.    

"Lord City Lord, you are the middleman that Old Sha King mentioned?"    

Chen Xiao asked.    

Before leaving the territory of the Sand Clan, Old Sha King had told Chen Xiao his plan. He had always remembered it in his heart.    

Actually, it was very simple. They would act separately and advance together.    

On one side, Old Sha King sent his subordinates to notify the three great forces, namely the Immortal Artifact Sect and the other two, that the Sand Clan wanted to open up the dust crystal mine and call them to come and settle down in Gray Cloud City.    

On the other side, Chen Xiao took action and personally sent the jade slip to the hands of the three great forces.    

However, what Chen Xiao did not expect was that the middleman that Old Sha King mentioned was actually City Lord Liu Yun.    

This made him feel very surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was very reasonable.    

Gray Cloud City was too important, and it was reasonable for Old Sha King to have many interactions with it. It would be strange if the two of them did not interact with each other.    

"Yes."    

City Lord Liu Yun nodded and did not avoid it.    

"This..." Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but he was speechless for a moment. He was still digesting the news.    

"The jade letter from Old Sha King is on you, right?"    

"Yes."    

"That's good. The three of you can come out now. The person is already here."    

At this moment, the Sky Cloud City Lord's tone changed as he said in a deep voice.    

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao was shocked and stood up, looking at the place not far away vigilantly.    

In the void, three figures quickly appeared one by one. Their figures were different, and their auras were different. They were like mountains and oceans, as if they were looking up at the sky. They were extremely deep, as if they were one with the entire world, harmonious and natural.    

Chen Xiao's eyes widened, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. His back felt cold, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.    

He, he actually didn't notice at all that the three living people were hiding not far away in the backyard, hiding their figures and completely unaware.    

Such a method was truly terrifying.    

Among the three, there was a man and a woman, and a demon. Their temperaments were completely different, but they were all staring straight at Chen Xiao.    

At this moment, a huge pressure came down on him, making Chen Xiao feel as if he was about to suffocate. He couldn't help but subconsciously swallow his saliva.    

"Heh, you have some guts. You broke through to the Immortal Realm at such a young age. With such achievements, no wonder you were chosen by Old Sha King. Interesting."    

The only male cultivator among the three was dressed in black clothes. He had a strong body and sharp facial features. After glancing at Chen Xiao, he said indifferently.
