Peerless War God

"What a pity."    

Chen Xiao sighed in his heart.    

Gu Feng was a little confused and asked, "Captain, how are your injuries?"    

"It's fine. I have already refined the ghost. It's fine now. Go to the meditation room and take a look at Lan Yue. She is still recovering. Her condition is not good. After her injuries stabilize, you will personally bring her back to Violet Cloud City to receive treatment."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.    

When Gu Lan Yue was mentioned, Gu Feng immediately became serious, "Alright, captain. I'll go now."    

"En."    

After Gu Feng bowed, he walked quickly to the meditation room behind the hall to see Gu Lan Yue.    

At this time, Qin He also stepped into the hall and bowed, "Lord Xiao, you are looking for me?"    

Chen Xiao nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "During this bitter battle, have you been injured?"    

Qin He smiled bitterly, "It's all my fault for being weak. I have indeed been injured, but it's nothing compared to Miss Yue. I'll be fine after recuperating for a while."    

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "Did you record the deaths of the Tribulation Transcenders this time?"    

When it came to serious matters, Qin He said with a solemn face, "Out of the four people who died in this battle, there were four injured. This is a big blow to our Violet Cloud City. However, the loss of the Black Sky Divine Sect is indeed even greater. It's all thanks to Lord Xiao's timely action."    

"Mm, arrange the funeral for the fallen Tribulation Transcender and comfort their family. Announce the news of their death to the entire Violet Cloud City."    

Chen Xiao said again.    

Qin He was shocked and moved. His eyes turned red, and he immediately knelt down.    

"Lord Xiao, you are wise. If the fallen Tribulation Transcender knew about this, he would be able to rest in peace."    

Chen Xiao sighed lightly and raised his hand to release a wave of magic power, lifting him up.    

"There's no need to do this. They sacrificed themselves for the sake of Violet Cloud City. Violet Cloud City will not forget them and will do what they need to do."    

Qin He looked deeply at Chen Xiao, wiped the tears from his eyes, and lowered his head. "Yes."    

Then, he turned around and left.    

On the high seat, Chen Xiao rubbed his chin a few times and thought for a while. He said, "In this battle, my Violet Cloud City has suffered great losses. If this continues, it won't do. It seems that I have to find another way out."    

When he thought of this, his mind became lively. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.    

"Men!"    

Immediately, a guard ran in and said respectfully, "Master City Lord, what orders do you have?"    

Chen Xiao took out a jade talisman and threw it out. He said, "Go and send a message to the Third Prince."    

"Yes."    

Several days later, outside the Cloud Breaking Peak.    

Chen Xiao was lying on a big tree on a small mountain. The tree was as thick as five people. He held a wine gourd in his hand and drank mouthful after mouthful, as if he wasn't drinking wine but drinking water.    

"Gu Gu, he is quite cautious."    

Suddenly, Chen Xiao's movements paused, and his eyes flashed as he coldly swept towards the distance.    

He saw the space slowly fluctuate like water ripples, and then a group of five people appeared in midair. The leader was dressed in a gorgeous golden armor, exuding an oppressive noble aura. He was the Wushuang Dynasty's Third Prince.    

Beside the Third Prince, there were two people that Chen Xiao was familiar with. One was Ying San, and the other was Ying Yi, both of them were experts of the Shadow Pavilion.    

The other two were tall and sturdy, and their vital energy and blood were like dragons. They were also peak Tribulation Transcenders, and they stood by the side of the Third Prince at all times to protect his safety.    

When the Third Prince saw Chen Xiao, he signaled the few people beside him with his eyes and was about to head over to have a chat with Chen Xiao.    

"Third Prince, no, it's too dangerous." Ying Yi advised in a low voice.    

Ying San stood at the side and did not make a sound.    

The Third Prince's eyes burst out with a cold light, and he was a little angry. He scolded, "Go away."    

"This..."    

After saying that, the Third Prince did not mind and casually walked towards Chen Xiao, standing on the other side of the treetop.    

"Sir Chen Xiao, how are you?"    

Chen Xiao did not get up and continued to lean on the tree branch. He stared at him and said, "Heh, you have quite a show of power. You actually set up a concealment formation to show yourself. Heh, are you so afraid of me?"    

When the Third Prince saw that his setup had been seen through, he laughed dryly and said, "As expected of an Immortal Realm expert. This little setup of mine is completely unnoticeable."    

Chen Xiao did not comment. Since the other party was able to come here alone and have a secret meeting, it was already enough to show his sincerity.    

If he continued to be arrogant, it would not be good. He still had to give face.    

He sat up straight again and threw the wine gourd in his hand to the other party. "Come on, have a sip."    

The Third Prince paused for a moment, raised his head and took a few gulps. After drinking the wine, his face immediately flushed red.    

"What a strong drink."    

The Third Prince laughed loudly and continued to drink a few mouthfuls.    

This action stunned Ying One and the others. They all wanted to stop him, but they did not dare to act rashly due to the Third Prince's orders.    

Seeing that the other party had drunk the wine, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Speak, what plan do you have?"    

A light flashed in the Third Prince's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "It's very simple. It's a plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf."    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh, if I'm not wrong, the tiger you are talking about should be the Black Sky Divine Sect. But what is the wolf you want to swallow?"    

The Third Prince hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke honestly, "It's my seventh brother."    

"Seventh Prince?" Chen Xiao sneered and looked at him with a high opinion of him. "Heh, you aren't hiding it."    

The Third Prince smiled coldly and said, "From ancient times until now, the struggle for the throne has always been like this. It is either you die or I live. You should understand this very well. Since you invited me to this secret meeting, you must have made up your mind, right?"    

Chen Xiao nodded his head. Not bad, the Third Prince was very good at reading people.    

The situation in the Kui Nan Province was very chaotic. Other than Violet Cloud City and Battle Sky City, the other territories were completely a chaotic battle between the Black Heavens Divine Sect and the various great families of cultivation.    

In the chaotic battle, some families had perished and were unable to recover. There were also many families who chose to submit and join the Black Heavens Divine Sect, helping the Black Heavens Divine Sect.    

As a result, the Black Heavens Divine Sect's power grew stronger and stronger, and eventually became a great threat.    

However, the strange thing was that Battle Sky City was indifferent to this, and was almost tacitly silent, which was very surprising.    

Chen Xiao looked at the Third Prince and asked, "Is there a secret connection between the Black Heavens Divine Sects and Battle Sky City?"    

This was his doubt, and also Marquis Zi Jin's. He had to ask the Third Prince personally.    

After all, in the past one or two hundred years, the Black Heavens Divine Sects had almost no conflict with Battle Sky City. They were all coming for Violet Cloud City, which was very unusual.    

The Third Prince pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information that I planted in the Duke Palace, there should be no connection. However, there is something strange about this matter."    

"That's right, it's too strange. The dignified Duke of Battle is actually ignoring the Black Heavens Divine Sect like this, allowing it to grow and not paying attention to it. This is very illogical."    

Chen Xiao said in a cold voice.    

There must be something fishy going on. There must be something fishy going on.
