Peerless War God

Xi Luo was a little angry and shouted at Chen Xiao.    

In his opinion, the reason why Marquis Zi Jin approached Chen Xiao and tried to rope him in was because he had ulterior motives.    

Chen Xiao had to know this point and be on guard against Marquis Zi Jin.    

"One cannot be ungrateful. He helped me, and this is true. That is enough, isn't it?"    

Chen Xiao's face was calm as he shook his head and said.    

Xi Luo had a helpless look on his face as he spread out his hands and said, "You are too stubborn. Sigh, you will suffer a great loss."    

Chen Xiao chuckled and said with a calm expression, "A person has to believe in something. Otherwise, one will doubt everything and sooner or later go crazy."    

"You can't persuade you."    

Xi Luo cursed and could only give up.    

Suddenly, Xi Luo's tone changed as he said in a low voice, "There are people in front of us. It seems like someone is waiting for you."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned and squinted his eyes. Not far in front of him, Gu Changsheng and the Yin Yang Lord were standing in midair, as if they were waiting for him.    

At this time, the two of them turned around and looked at him.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment before flying over.    

"Waiting for me?"    

Gu Changsheng nodded. His expression was very conflicted, as if he was hesitating about something.    

"Yes."    

The Yin Yang Lord smiled and approached him. He patted Chen Xiao's shoulder and said, "He is still hesitating in his heart. He can't make up his mind and wants to tell you."    

Chen Xiao pointed at himself, "Me?"    

Yin Yang Dao Sovereign smiled indifferently and did not say anything more. Instead, he looked at Gu Changsheng.    

Gu Changsheng's face was solemn as he said, "Chen Xiao, do you believe what the Duke of Zijin said about the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda?"    

"Ah?"    

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He was very surprised that Gu Changsheng would actually question him in such a manner.    

"See, not only me, but the others will also suspect that the Duke of Zijin's motives are not pure. It is not just my problem."    

In his soul sea, Xiluo said indifferently, his face filled with innocence.    

Chen Xiao muttered to himself for a moment before replying, "Master Gu, why do you ask?"    

Gu Changsheng was very distressed as he said, "I have only heard of the matter regarding the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda before. Today, I personally heard the Duke of Zijin say it, and I still feel that it is unreal. If what he said is true, then the Divine Pagoda has endless opportunities within it, and it is simply a treasure ground that cultivators can only hope to come across. It is simply too attractive, but…"    

Gu Changsheng stuttered as he looked at Chen Xiao, wanting to say something but hesitating.    

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up as he asked, "So, what are you hesitating about?"    

"I…" Gu Changsheng was speechless.    

Yin Yang Dao Sovereign interrupted at the right time and said, "He is a person who is indecisive. He wants to explore the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda, but he is also afraid that this is a trap, so he can't make up his mind. That's why he wants to ask you about it."    

Chen Xiao's face was filled with realization. "That's right."    

"What do you think? Is Marquis Zi Jin's words credible?" Gu Changsheng asked in a low voice, his eyes staring intently at Chen Xiao, wanting to see if he was lying.    

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, and without hesitation, he said, "I think it's true. As for what the Gu Clan's Master decides, that is your own business. Farewell."    

After saying this, he did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.    

He did not want to get involved in other people's business, lest he get involved in unnecessary trouble.    

Although he trusted Marquis Zi Jin very much, he could not control what others were thinking.    

Gu Changsheng and Yin Yang Master looked at each other in silence.    

"Chen Xiao's words are not wrong. If even Marquis Zi Jin cannot be trusted, then who should he trust?"    

Daoist Yinyang said thoughtfully.    

Gu Changsheng's face was dark and extremely solemn as he said, "Could it be that you also want to challenge this Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda?"    

Daoist Yinyang shook his head and said, "I don't have that thought. Although the road ahead is vast and impossible to advance, and my realm has long since been sealed, it is still better than dying in the Divine Pagoda. If I die, I will die without leaving anything behind. Gu Clan's Master, you have to think about it carefully."    

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was startled, "Are you resigning to fate?"    

Daoist Yinyang laughed involuntarily and said, "So what if I don't resign to fate? Longevity is a dream, and there will be a day when I die. Gu Clan's Master, you must open your eyes and not force yourself."    

He could also see that Gu Changsheng was very unwilling. He really did have the intention of exploring the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda.    

However, the Dao Sovereign did not think so highly of him. Gu Changsheng's strength was only equivalent to an immortal of the First Calamity Realm, and he had even been seriously injured before. His strength had greatly regressed, and he was no longer as strong as before.    

With his current state, if he were to forcefully break into the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, it could be said that he would have a narrow chance of survival.    

In fact, it was very likely that he would remain inside, and the risk was extremely great.    

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng laughed at himself, "You think so too?"    

Dao Sovereign Yin Yang spread his hands and said, "That's right. The Divine Pagoda is too dangerous. Although the opportunity is good, one must have the life to leave alive. I have already given up on this idea. It's good to be alive, and it's better to die than to stay alive."    

"Alas." Gu Changsheng sighed. His gaze was very complicated, and he was very unwilling.    

Of course, he knew that what Dao Sovereign Yin Yang said was true, and it was very accurate.    

It was just that he was truly unwilling. He wanted to take a gamble, but it was very difficult for him to make up his mind. There was a great terror between life and death. Even if it was a long life cultivator, he could not avoid it.    

Dao Sovereign Yin Yang patted Gu Changsheng's shoulder and said, "That's all I have to say. Goodbye."    

After saying that, he turned around and left.    

Only Gu Changsheng was left on the spot, his face filled with confusion.    

After returning to the Immortal Mansion, Chen Xiao had been frowning the entire time, thinking about what Gu Changsheng had just said.    

"Do you think that what Gu Changsheng said was a test for me?"    

Xi Luo laughed lightly, "You think too much. Don't you see that Gu Changsheng is in a daze?"    

Chen Xiao's face was filled with surprise, "What do you mean?"    

"It's very simple. Gu Changsheng was previously heavily injured and had consumed his essence energy, causing his strength to decrease sharply. His path to immortality has already been cut off, and there is no way for him to advance any further. If this goes on, he will reach the end of his life."    

Xi Luo replied with a calm tone.    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he was greatly shocked, "The end of his life? How did you know?"    

When he saw Gu Changsheng just now, he did not sense anything abnormal, so how could Xi Luo have sensed it? However, when he thought about how special Xi Luo was, he did not feel that it was strange anymore.    

"My perception is stronger than yours. I can feel that Gu Changsheng's life force is slowly fading away. Although it's very slow, this process might be thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, and it is irreversible."    

Xi Luo said coldly, her tone was bone-chilling.    

Chen Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air. His brows tightened, and then he slowly relaxed.    

"Is this what Gu Changsheng is worrying about?"    

"It seems so."    

Chen Xiao understood now. No wonder when he saw Gu Changsheng just now, there was something wrong with him. It turned out that the other party was worrying about this.    

Even if it was an Immortal Realm expert, when faced with life and death, they would not be able to remain indifferent and calm. They would be anxious and afraid.    

In front of death, everything was fair.
