Peerless War God

Chen Xiao looked at the cultivators below and thought to himself.    

Under the expectant and nervous gazes of the cultivators, Chen Xiao said with a smile on his face, "The purpose of my visit is something that you should have guessed. That's right, I came here for the Dragon Palace. Ao Bi bullied me, so I killed Ao Bi. Now that the Dragon Palace bullied me, I will destroy the Dragon Palace."    

Chen Xiao's words were filled with killing intent, and he did not hold back at all. He spoke bluntly without hiding anything.    

If it were anyone else, they might be uneasy because they had provoked the Dragon Palace, or even feel uneasy, but he would not.    

If Ao Bi bullied him, he would kill Ao Bi. If the Dragon Palace bullied him, he would destroy the Dragon Palace.    

Chen Xiao had always been a person who repaid kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. He did not like to hide anything. If he had experienced countless difficulties and obstacles in his path of cultivation and only endured it because he had to, then why did he have to go all out?    

The path of cultivation sought freedom and transcendence.    

Since the Dragon Palace had made him feel uneasy, he naturally had to sweep away the Dragon Palace and seek freedom.    

"..."    

"This..."    

The cultivators below were speechless and were stunned for a while.    

They originally thought that Chen Xiao would try to shirk the responsibility or pass it off, but they never thought that Chen Xiao would accept it so bluntly and take the responsibility. Such courage was truly rare.    

Instantly, the cultivators' gazes towards Chen Xiao changed slightly.    

As the old saying went, 'It is better to meet the rumors than to hear the rumors'. Today, the cultivators had finally witnessed the true might of an Immortal Realm expert.    

Chen Xiao's gaze was as sharp as lightning and as cold as an iceberg. He swept his gaze across the cultivators and continued.    

"I know that many cultivators attribute the war in the Endless Sea to me because I provoked the Dragon Palace. This might be true, but I don't want to explain anything.    

"Here, I will give you two choices. If you are unwilling to face this war, you can leave now. I will not stop you.    

"If you are willing to stay, you must listen to the arrangements of the Yang Clan, Ye Clan, and the Redbud Merchant Guild. You must not have any second thoughts.    

"Everyone, please choose."    

Chen Xiao's words were like a bolt of lightning that shocked everyone. Not only did the four people from the Yang and Ye Clan not expect this, but the cultivators below were also at a loss and at a loss.    

Whether it was humans or cultivators, most of the time, they were unable to control themselves.    

This was not a good or bad thing, but a normal situation.    

Once they had a chance to choose, they would become confused and not know what to do. This was actually very normal.    

"How could this be? He actually asked us to leave. Isn't this too reckless?"    

"To be honest, these two choices are really very difficult to choose. Staying here is very dangerous, but if we leave, we don't know where to go. I really don't know what to do."    

"The Dragon Palace is a foreign race. It's very cruel. Once they really attack, if we stay in the city, I'm afraid we will die without a complete corpse."    

"If Baishi City is broken through by the Dragon Palace, then wouldn't the entire human race in the Endless Sea be finished? Is that possible?"    

The cultivators began to mutter and fall into a dilemma.    

Ye Xu and Ye Hao looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.    

"Brother Hao, what do you think Lord Chen Xiao's words mean? Could it be that he's testing our loyalty?"    

Ye Xu racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any other possibility.    

Ye Hao's expression was complicated as he looked at Chen Xiao and sighed, "This person has an extraordinary bearing. I am far inferior to him."    

"Brother Hao, do you think he's not testing us?"    

"I don't know, but it sounds like it's true."    

Ye Xu's eyes widened as he stared at Ye Hao. For a moment, he was also incomparably conflicted.    

Yang Zhen saw that the cultivators below were in a commotion and became a little anxious. He took a step forward and advised in a low voice, "Lord Chen Xiao, you can't do this. If these cultivators all abandon the city, Baishi City will be in danger. The defensive strength will be even weaker."    

Chen Xiao shook his head and questioned, "Do you think that if a person with two hearts and two minds stays, he will wholeheartedly assist in defending the city?"    

"That should be it. After all, we will have more strength." Yang Zhen said uncertainly.    

The other three also nodded and echoed.    

They all agreed with this statement.    

However, Chen Xiao did not think so. "If the heart is not sincere, then it is no different from a motley crew. Furthermore, there are only so many things. If we divide them up too much, we will have less people left. It is inevitable that we will resent each other."    

Hearing this, the four of them opened their eyes wide in surprise. "That is actually the case?"    

As they spoke, the commotion of the cultivators below also stopped. At this moment, a Black Robe male cultivator took the initiative to step forward.    

"Lord Chen Xiao, can you keep your word?"    

The Black Robe cultivator asked loudly.    

"Hmph." When Zuo Zhao, Fu Xue, Gu Feng, and Gu Lan Yue heard this, they all glared at him angrily.    

This person did not know what was good for him. Since Chen Xiao had said so, could it be that he was lying? How could he deceive people with empty words? He was simply too stupid.    

Chen Xiao's face was indifferent, and there was no hint of joy or anger. He only said, "Of course I will keep my word. After all, I am an Immortal Realm cultivator. How could I lie?"    

After the Black Robe male cultivator heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After lowering his head and shivering a few times, he said again, "Since that's the case, I want to withdraw. The Dragon Palace is too terrifying. If we defend the city, it is likely that we will die nine times out of ten. I want to withdraw."    

"But, what's your name?" Chen Xiao nodded.    

"Zhao An," the Black Robe cultivator replied.    

Chen Xiao's gaze darkened as he looked at Yang Zhen.    

Yang Zhen sighed when he saw this. He took out a roster and removed Zhao An's name from it. He then said, "Zhao An has removed your name from the White Stone City. From now on, you have nothing to do with the White Stone City. You can leave now."    

Zhao An was ecstatic when he heard this. He let out a long sigh of relief.    

"Thank you, Patriarch Yang Zhen, thank you, Lord Chen Xiao. Farewell."    

After bowing, Zhao An flew into the sky and disappeared from the eyes of the cultivators in the blink of an eye.    

When the other cultivators saw this, their expressions were strange. Some of them had complicated expressions, and they were still hesitating and hesitating.    

Chen Xiao gave the cultivators a chance to choose. It seemed simple, but it was actually a test of their hearts. It was not easy.    

For example, once Zhao An was removed from the White Stone City, he would no longer have anything to do with the White Stone City. Although he would no longer have the risk of being implicated in the Dragon Palace's war, it also meant that everything he had done before would be in vain.    

The contributions and efforts he had made for the White Stone City in the past would all be in vain.    

This was something that all the cultivators could see, which was why they were hesitant.    

However, when someone saw that Zhao An had successfully escaped, they were a little tempted.    

"I also want to leave. At least I can keep my life." Soon, a second cultivator stood out. This time, it was a female cultivator.    

Chen Xiao did not say much. He only said, "Yes."
