Peerless War God

He had thought that this Brother Chen, whom he had met halfway, was a powerhouse who had deliberately concealed his strength. He had never thought that he had underestimated him.    

After all, this was an underground alchemy room that was heavily guarded. It was unexpected that he could communicate with him through voice transmission.    

Such ability was definitely not ordinary. At the very least, he had to be a Tribulation Transcender.    

Thinking of this, he was incomparably excited. He had actually met a friend in the Tribulation Transcender Realm. It was simply unbelievable.    

On the other side, Chen Xiao, who was using the Soul Seizing Sword as a bridge to communicate with Wang Kun, was silent for a moment.    

"This matter is a long story. If the time is ripe, you will know. In short, I won't harm you."    

Chen Xiao replied.    

He could not tell others about his own secrets, so he could only do this.    

After hearing this, Wang Kun hesitated for a moment, but he did not immediately let go. Instead, he asked again, "Brother Chen, are you a Tribulation Transcender?"    

"..." Chen Xiao continued to be silent and did not reply.    

However, in Wang Kun's eyes, even if he had tacitly agreed, he could only feel relieved and did not continue to ask.    

He also knew that other than believing Chen Xiao, there was no other way.    

It was like a person falling into a trap and suddenly seeing a familiar person appear beside the trap. You could only ask for help, and there was no other choice.    

He turned his attention back to the black and strange medicinal herb on the ground and asked, "Brother Chen, what kind of medicinal herb is this? Why have I never seen or heard of it before?"    

"This is not a medicinal herb," Chen Xiao replied.    

"If it isn't a medicinal herb, how could it be? If it wasn't a medicinal herb, why would Steward Liu place this thing here and even add it into the pill refining process?"    

Wang Kun was very puzzled and asked.    

"Pill refining is not something that can only be done with medicinal herbs. There are other methods."    

"This..." Wang Kun's eyes widened in disbelief, "What exactly is this?"    

"A stone that is stained with evil energy. That's all."    

Chen Xiao recognized it at a glance. This thing was not a medicinal herb at all, but a stone that was soaked in evil Yin energy. If he was not mistaken, the evil pill that Steward Liu refined just now was also an evil pill, and it was no different from the evil pills he had seen before.    

In other words, these evil pills were the fundamental reason why the Black Sky Divine Sect's disciples could maintain their high combat strength.    

"So, these disciples of the Divine Sect rely on eating pills to fight. Heh, how shameless."    

Chen Xiao felt incomparably disdainful in his heart.    

"What? A stone that is stained with evil energy?"    

Wang Kun was shocked and retreated to the side of the wall with a pale face.    

"No, I have to leave this place. It's too terrifying. When evil energy enters one's body, one's will will go berserk, and even one's soul will be confused and lose oneself. No, I have to escape."    

Wang Kun desperately scratched his head, his heart was terrified to the extreme, and he desperately wanted to escape from here.    

Obviously, this was a huge conspiracy and trap. Everything he saw at the beginning was a false image prepared by the Black Sky Divine Sect for these cultivators to fool people.    

Even the Immortal Jade that Manager Liu gave him was just a bait to attract the hook.    

If a cultivator with a weak will and a greedy heart saw it, it would be very difficult for him to not fall for it. Back then, Wang Kun was not on guard at all and was led by the nose by Manager Liu.    

To contribute to the Divine Sect was fake, but to be tricked by the Divine Sect to death was real. The more Wang Kun thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more afraid he became, the more he wanted to escape.    

"Stop, Wang Kun, don't act recklessly."    

Chen Xiao shouted lightly and stopped his reckless actions.    

Wang Kun's face was filled with panic as he said, "Brother Chen, you told me not to move recklessly. You are speaking without thinking. If you have the ability, immediately show yourself and come save me."    

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment.    

The short silence calmed the two of them down. Wang Kun sighed heavily, his hands covering his face, and his heart was filled with despair, "I'm finished, I'm really finished this time."    

"If you shout and leave now, what do you think that Manager Liu will do?"    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

"What will he do?" Wang Kun did not dare to think too much and asked instead.    

"Kill him to silence him, or even pull out his soul? There are many ways." Chen Xiao sneered.    

Wang Kun sucked in a breath of cold air, his entire body shivering in fear. He knew that what Chen Xiao said was very likely to happen.    

One had to know that the reputation of the Black Sky Divine Sect was not very good. It had always been a vicious and ruthless sect, and they would do anything to achieve their goals.    

It was unknown how many cultivators and forces had died at the hands of the Black Sky Divine Sect.    

It was also in these years that after conquering the vast territory of the Kui Nan State, they no longer had the strength to extend their influence to the outside world. They had to face the Purple Cloud City and the Heaven Battling City, so they had to restrain themselves a little.    

However, the mountains and rivers could be changed, and the nature of a person could not be changed. The Black Sky Divine Sect was a cult, and it had not changed.    

"Brother Chen, do you have a way to save me? I don't want to die. I'm begging you, Brother Chen. I know that you have great divine abilities and extraordinary strength. As long as you can save me, treat me like a horse for the rest of my life. I'm willing to do that."    

Wang Kun's tone immediately softened as he begged bitterly.    

At this moment, his only lifesaving straw was Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao said directly, "I will save you, but you have to do as I say. Don't alert the enemy. The origin of this evil thing is very strange."    

Hearing this, Wang Kun felt a little more at ease, but he was still very anxious.    

"But this is evil energy that can penetrate through all holes. I'm just a mere Prominent Divine Realm cultivator. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it. I feel very uncomfortable right now, and I'm about to suffocate."    

Wang Kun's face was filled with difficulty.    

"..." In the room, Chen Xiao was speechless.    

Of course, he knew that this was an act. Even if the evil energy had entered his body, it would not be so fast. Moreover, the aura of the evil energy in the stone was not that heavy.    

"Alright, I understand. The spiritual will imprint I left on you will periodically help you remove the evil energy. You don't have to worry."    

Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

"Yes, yes. This is the best. Brother Chen, you are right. I will do as you say. As long as I can keep my life, that's good enough."    

"En, that's good. If that's the case, you can continue to refine pills."    

Wang Kun's eyes flashed, and he nodded. He said, "I understand."    

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Everything was normal during this period of time. Under Chen Xiao's surveillance, Steward Liu, who was in the underground alchemy room, did not leave at all. There were no traces of evil energy from the source.    

"Heh, you really can hold your temper." Chen Xiao sneered.    

On the other side, Wang Kun was timid. His eyes were black as he cautiously called out, "Brother Chen, are you there?"    

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen."    

"Don't scare me. Brother Chen, it's good that you're here. I'm so worried. Should I hand over the evil pill now?"    

"En, go. I'll keep an eye on it for you. Nothing will happen," Chen Xiao said.    

“Alright, Brother Chen, I trust you.”
