Peerless War God

For the current Liu Family, every step they took was filled with fear and trepidation, as if they were walking on thin ice.    

If they were slightly careless, it was possible that their family's thousands of years of hard work would be wasted. This was too terrifying.    

"The situation is unclear, so we can only take one step at a time. I have already given the order that all cultivators of my Liu Family must be extremely vigilant and prepare for battle with all their strength."    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "You can handle these matters. I am at ease. I only want to recover from my injuries as soon as possible."    

"Yes."    

Liu Jin nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Don't take Lord Chen Xiao's suppression to heart, and don't resent him. Do you understand, Qing Kong?"    

Liu Qing Kong only smiled bitterly, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.    

He sighed and said, "I also want to resent him, but I have to have the strength. Hatred without strength is just a joke."    

No matter if it was in the Purple Cloud City or the Divine Realm, the principle of strength was something he knew very well.    

He would never pursue the so-called fairness without a cause. That was meaningless.    

Only one's own strength was the greatest fairness.    

Thinking of this, Liu Qing Kong smiled. "Are you worried about me? If that's the case, there's no need to worry."    

Seeing this, Liu Jin heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Qing Kong, since you think this way, I am relieved. Lord Chen Xiao's talent is far above ordinary people, and he can be called a monster that only appears once every ten thousand years. We can't compare to him. Sigh, luckily, such a super monster is standing on our side."    

Hearing that, Liu Qing Kong couldn't help but exclaim, "That's right. As long as you think about it, if such a strong person exists as our enemy, it would be too terrifying."    

"That's right." Liu Jin echoed.    

For a moment, the two of them were speechless.    

Without a doubt, Chen Xiao's strength had given them a huge impression, and it even left a shadow on their hearts.    

At the same time, they had also reached a consensus that they must not provoke Chen Xiao, lest they be doomed forever.    

At this moment, a guard of the Liu Family walked in quickly.    

"Elder, Young Master, Xiao Heng and Zhao Haocheng have come to pay their respects."    

Hearing that, the two of them were stunned, somewhat surprised.    

"Xiao Heng, Zhao Haocheng? Why did they come here together?"    

Liu Qing Kong's face darkened as he muttered in a low voice.    

Previously, he was injured, and there were indeed many Elders of the Patriarchal Clans who came to visit him. However, they all came together to check on his injuries and were fine. After exchanging a few words, they left on their own.    

At this moment, Xiao Heng and Zhao Haochen had come to pay their respects for the second time. It was likely that they would not go to the Three Treasures Palace without a reason.    

Liu Qing Kong was a suspicious person, so it was inevitable that he would have many doubts.    

Liu Jin's gaze turned cold, and he said darkly, "The Xiao Family and Zhao Family have been restless recently. The two of them coming here together must have some scheme."    

Liu Qing Kong raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Restless?"    

Liu Jin nodded and said, "Yes, they are very restless. Lord Chen Xiao personally gave the order to repair the array formation with all their might. The Xiao Family and Zhao Family were the most passive, secretly delaying it. They were unwilling to help. At the same time, when they were cleaning up the battlefield, they were the most domineering. They took everything they saw and put it in their pockets like a Pixiu. They were not inferior to you. It's just that you were coincidentally hit by them. After being taught a lesson, these senior families finally restrained themselves. Hmph, otherwise, it would be their turn. "    

After Liu Qing Kong heard this, his face turned white, and his nose almost bent from anger.    

"What? I was treated as a bird and was taught a lesson. Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"    

Liu Qing Kong's eyes widened, and his anger ignited.    

When Liu Jin saw this, his neck shrank, and he smiled bitterly. He hurriedly explained, "Qing Kong, don't be too angry. After you were injured, I sent people to investigate. I didn't have time to tell you."    

Hearing this, Liu Qing Kong calmed down. He had a mocking smile on his face and a self-deprecating expression.    

"So, I became a shield. Heh, the heavens are crazy and the people are crazy. I asked for this. Sigh."    

Liu Jin hurriedly comforted him and said, "Qing Kong, you don't have to be upset. After this, everything will be fine."    

"I also hope so. But what exactly did Xiao Heng and Zhao Hao Cun want to do when they came to find me?"    

Liu Qingkong frowned and asked.    

“You’ll know once you see them. What are these two trying to do? You’ll know once you ask.”    

Liu Jin said coldly.    

From his point of view, there was no reason for them to come here. These two people definitely had bad intentions. Hmph, they had to be seen.    

“Then we’ll see them?” Liu Qingkong said.    

“Yes.”    

Liu Qingkong nodded and said to the Liu Family guards, “Go and get someone to come in.”    

“Yes.”    

The Liu Family guards retreated. Not long after, two tall and sturdy middle-aged men walked in with smiles on their faces.    

The slightly taller one was Xiao Heng, and the sturdier one was Zhao Haosheng. Both of them were late-stage Tribulation Transcender cultivators.    

Xiao Heng cupped his hands. “Brother Liu Jin, Brother Qingkong, we meet again. I wonder how your injuries are recovering?”    

Zhao Haosheng stood to the side and echoed, “I see that Brother Qingkong’s face is full of red light. It seems that you’ve recovered quite well. Congratulations.”    

Hearing this, Liu Qingkong sneered in his heart. These two smiling faces were old foxes. Nothing good would come out of them.    

However, they were both from the Purple Cloud City’s senior family clans. They had a tacit understanding with each other, and some words were unspoken.    

Even if they were pretending, they had to pretend to be.    

“Please have a seat,” Liu Qingkong said indifferently. He did not get up and continued to lie on the bed.    

When Xiao Heng and Zhao Haosheng saw this, they did not mind and sat down with smiles.    

The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting and expressed their concern for Liu Qingkong's injuries. After that, Xiao Heng changed the topic and said, "This Zuo Zhao is really too much. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he beat Brother Qingkong into such a state. He is really too tyrannical. I am also a member of an elder family, but I am not worthy of Brother Qingkong."    

After hearing this, Liu Qingkong and Liu Jin looked at each other and their hearts sank.    

They thought, Look, this is the fox's tail. There really isn't anything good.    

At first, Xiao Heng's words did not seem to be inappropriate, but he was just complaining casually.    

But if one thought about it carefully, it was clear that he was trying to sow discord between Liu Qingkong and Zuo Zhao, and he was indirectly pointing the spearhead at Chen Xiao. He was unexpectedly trying to sow discord between the two sides.    

If some of the people who were not clear-headed were to be taught such a lesson, or even humiliated, they would inevitably harbor hatred in their hearts. They would be fooled immediately.    

In other words, in the eyes of Xiao Heng and Zhao Haocheng, Liu Qingkong was just a hothead.    

After Liu Qingkong thought about this, he almost flared up on the spot. Luckily, Liu Jin stopped him with her gaze.
