Peerless War God

Chen Xiao sat casually, playing with a ball of flames in his hand. He was practicing fire control. Under his control, the flames turned into various images, be it a human or a beast, extremely lifelike, as if they were right in front of his eyes.    

However, the strange thing was that the flames did not leak out any power. Even if Yang Zhen stood close to Chen Xiao, he could not feel the violent heat of the flames at all.    

"Hiss ~"    

He took a cold breath, "What a terrifying fire control technique. As expected of an immortal-level powerhouse. Even a puppet has such power. Impressive."    

Although the four people present knew that the puppet in front of them was just a puppet of Chen Xiao, none of them dared to neglect it.    

There was no other reason. The puppet represented Chen Xiao's will, and no one dared to disobey it.    

Moreover, they also discovered a terrifying fact. Even if this was just an ordinary puppet, it had a shocking strength, causing them to be terrified.    

On the surface, Mo Hun only had the cultivation of the intermediate stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, but the hidden aura was very shocking.    

"Have you done your investigation?"    

After a moment, Chen Xiao said coldly, his cold black eyes staring at the four of them.    

Yang Zhen's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Chen... Ah no, Lord Mo Hun, according to your instructions, we have already listed out the names of the cultivators who have been secretly spying on you and trying to find out your background."    

When he said this, Yang Zhen's expression was quite ugly and embarrassed.    

Chen Xiao smiled. This was actually a very simple trap.    

He first turned into a black soul and entered the White Stone City as a guest. Then, he did not do anything. At this time, if there were spies from the Blood Spirit Cult in the city, they would definitely think of ways to pry into it and find out the truth.    

As a result, the scope of the investigation was much smaller and much simpler.    

"En."    

He took the list and looked at it. There were hundreds of names on it, and the most eye-catching ones were the ones with the surname Yang and Ye. More than half of the names were Ye, and some were even more than the other rogue cultivators.    

Chen Xiao sneered, "Heh, there are so many people with the surname Yang and Ye? Interesting, there is something wrong with your two families."    

Yang Zhen's face drooped, and he said with a dejected expression, "Lord Blacksoul, you are right. I was incompetent. After I return, I will immediately start to rectify this."    

Ye Zhen also felt ashamed, and he was about to lose all his face.    

He had also seen the list. There were more cultivators with the surname Ye on it than Yang Zhen. Wouldn't that be a humiliation to him?    

"Lord Blacksoul, don't worry. I will definitely make these disciples on the list admit their mistakes and reflect on themselves. I beg for your forgiveness."    

Ye Zhen said sincerely, and he also expressed his determination and position to Chen Xiao. This was very important.    

As for Yang Yuan Gang and Ye Ruo, they were indifferent and did not speak.    

Seeing that, Chen Xiao smiled and asked, "What do the two of you think?"    

Ye Zhen raised his eyebrows like a rusty blade and squinted his almond eyes. He glanced at Ye Zhen and said, "Sir, this matter must not be made known to the public. Otherwise, we will alert the enemy. If the matter gets out of hand, not only will we not be able to catch the traitor, but we will also make people panic. This is definitely not a good idea."    

"..." Yang Zhen.    

"Ye Zhen, you..." Ye Zhen's face darkened, and he became even more uneasy.    

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that among the suspects, the Ye Family cultivators were the most numerous. As the head of the family, he had no choice but to take responsibility for this matter.    

In addition, he had been in a hurry to find a cure, so he came up with a rotten idea, which made his impression in Chen Xiao's heart even worse.    

As a result, Ye Zhen's face was filled with embarrassment, and he could not get down from the stage.    

When Yang Yuan saw this, he hurriedly followed and said, "I think Elder Ye Zhen's words are reasonable. It is not suitable to make a big deal out of it now."    

Chen Xiao nodded with a faint smile and said, "En, that's good. Let's do it like this. Investigate the cultivators on the list one by one and act in a low-profile manner. Don't be hasty."    

"Yes."    

The four of them agreed in unison.    

"Alright, it's time to go out and show off." Chen Xiao stood up and said indifferently.    

Seeing this, Ye Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for being negligent."    

"It's fine. Just treat me as an ordinary Tribulation Transcender. It's just that I changed my name to Mo Hun. Heh, what a good name." Chen Xiao chuckled.    

"Yes." Ye Zhen forced a smile. Although he agreed verbally, he did not dare to be careless in his heart.    

Immediately, a group of people walked out in a line. Ye Zhen walked at the front, while Chen Xiao walked at the back.    

The five of them walked into the hall and took their seats. In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy and oppressive.    

The originally lively cultivators also stopped and kept quiet. They looked at the five people at the top.    

Among them, Yang Zhen, Ye Zhen, and the other two were extremely familiar with them. However, Mo Hun had appeared, which shocked them greatly. They all widened their eyes and wanted to find out what was going on.    

"Greetings, two Patriarchs."    

"Greetings, two Patriarchs. "    

"Greetings, two Patriarchs!"    

The cultivators first greeted them before they began to talk about serious matters.    

Ye Zhen stood up from his seat and pointed at Chen Xiao. He said, "Let me introduce him to you. This is Elder Mo Hun, who came here today to recruit talents."    

"Greetings, Elder Mo Hun."    

"Greetings, Elder Mo Hun."    

When the cultivators heard this, they also cupped their fists and greeted him. Their eyes were filled with surprise.    

This way, they could be considered to have confirmed the rumors of the past few days. It could be considered to have calmed the hearts of the cultivators below and pacified the uneasy hearts of the people in the city.    

Ever since the Dragon Palace declared war on the Redbud Trading Company, all the human cultivators in the Endless Sea had been swept into it. Although the influence of the White Stone City being far away was small, it still affected them.    

One of them was that the number of Tribulation Transcenders in the city had decreased, and most of them had left on their own.    

People would always avoid the bad things. In the eyes of many cultivators, Baishi City was a dangerous place, so it was best not to step into it. This also caused the morale of the cultivators in Baishi City to be low.    

The appearance of Mo Hun had greatly raised the morale of the cultivators.    

This was something that Chen Xiao had never expected, and it could be considered a misfortune.    

"Mm." Chen Xiao replied indifferently and did not do anything else.    

Ye Zhen took a deep breath. Seeing that Chen Xiao did not make any comments, he continued, "Today is the monthly meeting. If there is anything urgent, you can speak frankly."    

Under the witness of the Yang Family and Ye Family's Tribulation Transcenders, a public meeting was held.    

Chen Xiao was quite gratified when he saw this. This was the atmosphere that the Redbud Chamber of Commerce should have. All of them discussed and raised their hands to express their opinions.    

This was very important.    

After a while, an old man with white hair raised his withered branch-like hand and said, "Reporting to the two Patriarchs, this old man has a very important matter to say."    

Ye Zhen was expressionless. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."
