Peerless War God

The Duke of Zijin lowered his head and looked at Gu Changsheng, whose expression was filled with humiliation and extreme unwillingness. He was very satisfied with this.    

"Get up. From now on, Gu Changsheng, you are the Fourth City Lord of our Violet Cloud City. You do not need to perform such a great ceremony."    

As he spoke, the Duke of Zijin raised his right hand, and an invisible force lifted Gu Changsheng up.    

He was injured, and he was trembling and looking a bit weak. When Gu Lan Yue saw this, she hurriedly went forward to support him.    

Gu Changsheng sighed, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Duke of Zijin. You have given the Gu Clan a place to live."    

The Duke of Zijin lightly nodded his head, "You are injured. Take these bottles of pills first. It is more important to stabilize your injuries so that it won't worsen."    

As he spoke, the Duke took out a few bottles of pills and handed them to the other party.    

Gu Changsheng took them, "Thank you, Duke of Zijin."    

"Thank you, Duke of Zijin. " Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng bowed in unison.    

"Thank you, Lord Duke of Zijin." When the rest of the Gu Clan members saw this, they also bowed in unison.    

The Duke of Zijin laughed heartily, feeling very good. His eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue.    

"You two are not bad. Follow Chen Xiao and do your best."    

Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue were startled, and their expressions became serious. They hurriedly replied, "Yes."    

The Duke of Zijin turned around and patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, saying, "I'll leave this place to you. You can take care of the Gu Clan. I'll go back first."    

The reason why he did this was because he had great trust in Chen Xiao, and secondly, it was to give Chen Xiao a favor.    

Just now, when Gu Changsheng knelt down, it had greatly increased Marquis Zi Jin's prestige. As for the rest, it should be left for Chen Xiao to pick up.    

He was satisfied and did not want to get involved again, so he left in a carefree manner.    

"Alright." Chen Xiao said.    

Immediately after, Marquis Zi Jin left in a carefree manner, disappearing into the horizon, returning to the Violet Cloud City.    

As a result, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. In their hearts that were uneasy, they relaxed a little. Many of the Gu Clan members were even crying tears of joy.    

Seeing this, Gu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Lord Marquis Zi Jin is so imposing. It feels like his strength has increased a little again."    

"Indeed." Gu Lanyue agreed.    

Gu Changsheng's face was gloomy, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, but he did not say anything.    

In his heart, he agreed with the words of Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue. Marquis Zi Jin's prestige was much stronger than before. It seemed that during these past few days, he had actually improved a little.    

In comparison, not only did he not improve at all, he had even lost the Sky River City. His clan's vitality had been greatly damaged, and he had fallen to such a state, like a dog that had lost its home.    

Could it be that I really was wrong?    

For a moment, Gu Changsheng was both gloomy and confused.    

On the other side, Chen Xiao took a few steps forward and bowed to Qin Miaoyu. "This time, I will have to trouble Aunt Miaoyu to treat my injuries."    

Qin Miaoyu was a little overwhelmed by the favor and returned the gaze. She said, "City Lord Chen Xiao is too courteous. It is within his duty to treat the injuries of the Gu City. His injuries are not light, so it is best for him to rest for the time being and not make a move again."    

"Yes."    

"City Lord Gu, City Lord Chen Xiao, I will take my leave first."    

Qin Miaoyu instructed the other medical officials before leaving.    

Gu Changsheng sighed lightly and said, "This medical official Qin Miaoyu's medical skills are indeed not bad. My body no longer hurts."    

Chen Xiao turned his body and looked at him in a new light, "I never thought that you would be so straightforward."    

Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly. He looked around at the Gu Clan members and his mood became a lot worse. He said, "We have already reached this stage. What arrogance is there to speak of? Although this kneeling is a bit shameful, at least it can help my clansmen get out of this situation. It's worth it."    

"Clan Master, you have sacrificed too much." Gu Lan Yue's eyes were filled with tears.    

"Clan Master, you shouldn't have knelt. How can you be subservient to others?"    

Many more Gu Clan members began to cry in sorrow. They were incomparably moved. Their words were truly from the bottom of their hearts.    

One could imagine that if they had not obtained the approval of Marquis Zi Jin, if they had stayed in the Violet Cloud City, their fates would have been incomparably miserable.    

"Shut up, are you crying? I am not dead yet." Gu Changsheng's face was filled with impatience as he scolded.    

Immediately, everyone stopped and fell into complete silence.    

Chen Xiao laughed out loud when he saw this. He felt that it was interesting, "City Lord Gu, you are also a person with a temperament. In the future, we will be on the same side."    

Chen Xiao's expression was complicated as he sighed and cupped his hands. "In the future, I hope that Chen Xiao will take good care of me. For the sake of Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue, I will be troubling you."    

"Captain." Gu Lan Yue looked over.    

"Captain, I..." Gu Feng also wanted to say something, but he didn't have much ink to write, so he didn't know what to say.    

Chen Xiao understood tacitly, and he did not say anything else. "Let's go. We will first return to Violet Cloud City to settle down. I remember that there should be a few more Spiritual Peaks in the city that are free. It shouldn't be difficult to settle you guys down."    

Gu Chang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's great."    

"Let's go."    

"Let's go. Everyone, follow me." Gu Feng called out to his clansmen and quickly moved towards Violet Cloud City.    

The group of people flew through the air. Chen Xiao and Gu Chang Sheng were in the front, and their Immortal Realm aura was released, not concealing anything at all as they openly entered the city.    

Such a shocking aura immediately caused a lot of chaos.    

"Look, above us, there are cultivators flying through the air. Isn't Violet Cloud City prohibited from flying?"    

"Are you stupid? Can't you see that the two people in the lead of this group of cultivators are Immortal Realm experts? How can they be like us?"    

"Yes, yes, yes. It's just that this group of cultivators is so strange. Why are there so many injured people? Where did they come from?"    

For a moment, countless cultivators were discussing this matter.    

Chen Xiao entered the city, and his journey was smooth and unobstructed. There were even guards of Violet Cloud City who came to welcome him.    

"Greetings, City Lord Chen Xiao, Lord City Lords."    

"Greetings, City Lord Chen Xiao. Lord City Lords."    

The guards stood straight and shouted loudly. Their voices spread far and wide, and even half of Violet Cloud City could hear them clearly. It could be said to be deafening.    

Obviously, they did it on purpose.    

Chen Xiao sneered, "The news spread quite quickly."    

Gu Changsheng's expression was a bit uneasy, and he was also a bit apprehensive. He thought to himself, "Since things have already come to this, I can only go on. There is no other way."    

Speaking of which, he still had some grudges against Marquis Zi Jin.    

When he saw the Black Sky Divine Sect aggressively invading, he immediately sent people to ask for help from Marquis Zi Jin, but he was rejected. He was so angry that he cursed on the spot, and there was only anger in his heart.    

However, on second thought, his relationship with Marquis Zi Jin was not very deep, and the other party had no reason to help him.    

It was only his own fault for not being strong enough, and his luck was not good enough, which was why he ended up in such a state. It was truly hateful.    

Especially Gu Chengquan and the rest of the Gu Clan's vermin. They harmed the Sky River City, and they even harmed countless Gu Clan members. It was not a pity to die.    

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng turned around and glanced at the remaining clansmen who had followed him all the way here, and he sighed in his heart.    

Perhaps, this was the best result. There was no need to have any extravagant hopes, and it was good enough to live on.
