Peerless War God

Chen Xiao's expression was constantly changing. He was angry, he was angry, and he was also very unwilling.    

He never expected that it would actually end up like this. He laughed very wildly.    

"So in the end, after paying such a huge price and suffering such a huge loss, we were actually helping others and getting the fruits for them?"    

His eyes were filled with gloominess, and he was as fierce as a hungry wolf as he stared at the Heavenly Star Swordmaster.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster did not dare to look straight at him. He sighed and nodded, "Yes."    

This word seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, causing him to be unable to breathe. The pressure was incomparably great.    

Even though he was an Immortal Realm expert that was unreachable in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, there were still things that he could not do.    

There was always someone stronger than him, and there was always someone stronger than him.    

"Bang."    

Chen Xiao clenched his fists in anger. Because he was too courageous, the air was compressed and let out an ear-piercing explosion.    

At this moment, he looked down at the crowd of Violet Cloud City cultivators cheering on the Heavenly Sea Island below him. He felt that it was very comical and laughable.    

Perhaps in the eyes of the stronger cultivators, the sacrifices of these people were worthless and could be trampled on and dealt with as they pleased.    

"Chen Xiao, calm down. You and I are both involved in this, so we can't do anything about it."    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster advised. He looked at Chen Xiao's uncomfortable expression and felt extremely depressed in his heart.    

After a moment, Chen Xiao finally calmed down. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. There seemed to be starlight flashing in his eyes.    

"Is it the pressure of the nine top forces? Who is it that even Big Brother Tian Xing can't bear the pressure and has to yield?"    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster ignored the ridicule in Chen Xiao's words and said, "The Immortal Weapon Sect, the Profound Pill Sect, and the Demon God Hall have joined forces to pressure us."    

"What?"    

Once again, Chen Xiao's expression changed drastically.    

He originally thought that the situation was bad enough, but he didn't expect that he had still underestimated it.    

Although the Endless Sea was not big, to many forces, it was a delicacy.    

He wanted to resist, but he knew that with his current heavily injured condition, there would not be any good outcome in resisting, and it would only be worse.    

He could not only consider his own pleasure for a moment, but also think about the people around him.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster said with an incomparably solemn expression, "According to the news I received, the Demon God Hall has already personally arrived to support the Sea God Hall, and the Immortal Weapon Sect and the Profound Pill Sect have also arrived at the Violet Cloud City to personally negotiate with Lord Zi Jing. You should be able to guess the result."    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "What else can happen? The two top forces have joined forces to pressure us, so Big Brother Zi Jing has no choice."    

"It's good that you understand. Don't be too angry. There are some things that can't be changed, and you can only adapt to it."    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I am not angry, but I feel that it's not worth it for them."    

He pointed at the Purple Cloud City cultivators below who were still celebrating. They had no idea what had happened.    

Just a moment ago, a portion of their victory had been stolen.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster was silent for a moment. He could empathize with this feeling.    

The reason he had today's cultivation was because he had risked his life and climbed up from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood step by step. Every step was extremely dangerous, as if he was walking on thin ice.    

Just like the cultivators who had survived the battle at the Heavenly Sea Island, they had risked their lives to fight against the Dragon Palace army.    

Now that they had won, they were robbed of their fruits. How could they not be angry?    

"In this chaotic world, you and I can only float in the air and sigh helplessly," the Heavenly Star Swordmaster said.    

Although Chen Xiao did not agree with this, he could not refute it.    

The three top forces took advantage of this opportunity to intervene because they saw that he was powerless to resist. They would use their power to suppress him and force him to submit. The situation was weaker than them, so they could only endure it.    

"That's right. The strong prey on the weak. We don't have the strength to resist." Chen Xiao said unwillingly.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster looked at him and advised, "It's good that you can think like that. I'm afraid that you will be stubborn. Right, we didn't gain nothing this time. The three sects have already said that they will let us open the trading qualification and sell all kinds of spiritual artifacts, magical treasures, pills, and rare resources to us."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao sneered, "You need money, right?"    

"Yes."    

"If my guess is correct, the price that the three sects want from us is definitely more expensive than the other ways, right?" Chen Xiao asked.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster was stunned for a moment, then he laughed awkwardly and said, "You guessed it? You are very smart, even more than me. If I had the same kind of awareness as you back then, I wouldn't have suffered so much."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyes dimmed, and he deeply understood what it meant to be unable to do anything.    

He sighed and said, "Brother Zihong, what did you say about this matter?"    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster paused for a moment and replied, "This matter should still be discussed, but I guess that Lord Zihong will not reject it. After all, although it's a little expensive, it's still better than nothing."    

Chen Xiao looked up helplessly and gazed at the boundless void of the Divine Realm.    

After a moment, he lowered his head and said, "I hope you're right."    

"Are you in a bad mood?"    

"Hmph, no matter who it falls on, it won't be good, right?" Chen Xiao said angrily.    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster laughed and patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, saying, "So I came to accompany you. Come, let's drink. When we get drunk, we can forget about our worries, and we will have less worries."    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster took out two red sandalwood wine pots and handed one to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao took it and opened the cork. He raised his head and gulped down the wine. When the wine entered his throat, it was as if he wasn't drinking wine, but rather a slightly bitter water.    

He thought that he had worked hard to climb to his current level and break through to the Immortal Realm. He thought that he would be able to dominate himself and not be restrained and oppressed.    

However, such a beautiful thought was shattered in the end.    

Seeing Chen Xiao drinking so boldly, the Heavenly Star Swordmaster was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, this is a rare good wine. It's a waste to drink like this."    

Chen Xiao did not listen to him. He picked up the wine pot and clinked it with the other party, then started to drink.    

As the strong liquor entered his stomach, a slightly drunk feeling surged into his mind, making him feel a little unreal. It also seemed to be much better.    

Facing the wind, he walked to the edge of the Cloud Pavilion. After holding it in for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and cursed.    

"Damn it, go to hell. Sooner or later, I will have no one to bully or oppress me. I will be forced to do things that I don't want to do."    

"Haha, what a great spirit. For these words, it's worth a big cup of wine. Come, drink."    

"Drink, hahaha."    

"Gugugugu."    

The bitter liquor entered his throat and made him feel pain. No matter how much bitterness and unwillingness there was, he could only swallow it.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao deeply understood the responsibility on his shoulders. He was no longer alone. He was carrying the hopes and expectations of countless people.
