Peerless War God

At first glance, it seemed to be a good thing.    

However, Liu Qingkong was very vigilant in his heart, and he wouldn’t easily fall for it. He wouldn’t easily believe these two people.    

Liu Qingkong and Liu Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw the cautiousness in each other’s eyes.    

“What do you think, both of you?” Xiao Heng took advantage of the situation and asked.    

Liu Qingkong didn’t want to reveal his true thoughts so quickly, so he took a detour and said, “Your words are indeed a bit reasonable, but they’re too ambiguous. Why don’t you explain it clearly? If we really form an alliance, how do we advance and retreat?”    

Liu Jin saw this and agreed, saying, “Right, we should make it clear. If you have any ideas, just say it.”    

“This…” Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment and looked deeply at Liu Qingkong.    

He was suspicious in his heart at this moment. Was Liu Qingkong sincere or was he bluffing?    

Zhao Haocheng didn’t mind and said directly, “For the sake of self-preservation, we will advance and retreat together. If the Dragon Palace really attacks, then at that time, the three of us will join hands and take the opportunity to slip away. Only then can we preserve our strength to the greatest extent. What do you think, Brother Qingkong?”    

Xiao Heng had a calm expression and said with a smile, “Since we’ve made it clear, Brother Qingkong, Brother Liu Jin, you should give us an answer.”    

Liu Qingkong’s expression was indeterminate when he saw this, and he didn’t speak immediately.    

On the other hand, Liu Jin seemed to be extremely angry as he said angrily, “You want to retreat without a battle? You’re just deserters. This is impossible. If the Lord of the Violet Thunder City finds out about this, then you’ll suffer.”    

Liu Jin spoke without saying anything, and he spoke everything clearly.    

It was good to protect himself, but if the defeat of the Heavenly Sea Island was intensified because of this, then it would cause countless deaths and injuries, and it would infuriate the Lord of the Violet Thunder City. The consequences would simply be unimaginable.    

Liu Jin was one of the few people in charge of the Liu Clan, and he didn’t dare take on this responsibility. Doing this was no different than courting death.    

Xiao Heng shook his head and said, “Brother Liu Jin, you worry too much. Not to mention the Lord of the Violet Thunder City, even if it’s the Highest Elder Clan, we still have to continue working for him and work for him. Moreover, if the Dragon Palace really attacks us and launches a great counterattack, do you think that we can stop it? Don’t forget that without the protection of the formation, we have to rely on our lives.”    

Zhao Haosheng nodded repeatedly as well and said in agreement, “We were able to stop the Dragon Palace because of the grand formation of the Heavenly Sea Island. Now that the grand formation is gone, we’ll surely be unable to stop it. At that time, the Highest Elder Clans will suffer the most casualties. Once we weaken, aren’t you afraid that the other Violet Cloud City’s Tribulation Transcender cultivators will replace us?    

Brother Liu Jin, Brother Qing Kong, you have to think clearly. A single mistake leads to eternal hatred, and you mustn’t take the wrong path.”    

“This…”    

Liu Jin had a conflicted expression as she started to hesitate.    

At this moment, Liu Qing Kong spoke up as well, “The two of you have a point, but this matter is too important. If we were to be careless, it would affect the entire situation. Let Elder Liu Jin and I have a good discussion before making a decision.”    

Hearing this, Xiao Heng and Zhao Houcheng’s expressions instantly turned gloomy as they wore a cold expression.    

“Brother Qing Kong, you have to think clearly. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be a next time.”    

Xiao Heng spoke with a sinister tone, and his tone carried a hint of threat.    

Zhao Houcheng’s expression was cold as well as he spoke in a stern voice, “Elder Liu Jin, even though your Liu Clan is powerful, you aren’t the only one who can do it. Don’t forget that there are other senior clans on this island. If we were to cooperate with them, it would still be possible. If we miss this opportunity, there won’t be another chance. You have to think clearly before you speak.”    

Obviously, when they saw that they were unable to coerce Liu Qing Kong, they immediately changed their expressions.    

The methods of coercion and threat were something that they were extremely proficient at when it came to clans that were from senior clans.    

Hearing this, Liu Qing Kong and Liu Jin’s expressions changed.    

“What do you two mean by this? Why do I not understand?”    

Liu Qing Kong spoke with a stern voice, and her eyes were filled with a ruthless aura.    

Liu Jin was even more straightforward as she directly made things clear and scolded back, “You changed the method of coercion to the method of threat? What a joke. Our Liu Clan doesn’t eat this sort of thing. If the two of you want to use this sort of method to talk to me, then there’s nothing to talk about. Please.”    

Liu Jin's words had completely blocked the path for Xiao Heng and Zhao Hao Cun. There was almost no path left for them.    

"You..." Zhao Hao Cun was furious.    

He did not expect the other party to be so ungrateful and reject him.    

On the other hand, Xiao Heng was much more composed. He first pulled Zhao Hao Cun back to calm him down.    

Then, he said, "So, the Liu Family is planning to follow Chen Xiao to the end? Don't forget who left the injuries on Brother Qing Kong's body. Don't you want to take revenge?"    

Liu Qing Kong cursed and replied, "Hmph, one is one. I was beaten up by Zuo Zhao. That is a disgrace. At most, I will find a chance to get back at him in the future. However, if you want me to tie up the future of the entire family with you, haha, I'm afraid it won't work."    

Xiao Heng was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Liu Jin and asked, "Elder Liu Jin, do you think so too?"    

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, you guys don't have any sincerity at all. You want the Liu Family to give up the treasure just by relying on your mouth. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"    

Liu Jin's words came from his true thoughts and were also a test.    

He really wanted to know what kind of confidence these two guys had to pull the Liu Family to form an alliance.    

Xiao Heng also smelled the truth and replied, "Haha, Elder Liu Jin is quick to speak. You are telling the truth, but I don't dare to say it."    

Zhao Haosheng glared at him and said, "Don't worry. If you follow us, you won't suffer any loss."    

"So, you two really have something to rely on?" Liu Qingkong asked.    

"Don't say it. You only need to know that when the Dragon Palace's army comes to attack, Tianhai Island will be finished. Chen Xiao won't be able to protect himself. This is enough, isn't it?"    

Xiao Heng said coldly.    

Liu Jin's face stiffened and he said, "Alright, I understand a little now."    

For a moment, he was actually a little hesitant and moved.    

However, Liu Qingkong did not have a good expression. She said coldly, "So, you don't have anything else to say, right?"    

"Yes," Xiao Heng said.    

"Then send the guests off. As for this matter, Elder Liu and I will consider it carefully," Liu Qingkong said perfunctorily.    

Xiao Heng did not mind and only said, "I hope so. Oh right, we should not leak our conversation with each other, especially the one above."    

As Xiao Heng spoke, he pointed to the sky above his head, meaning deeply.    

Liu Qingkong and Liu Jin were unmoved and looked at the two coldly.
