Peerless War God

Chen Xiao laughed in disdain.    

Although the despicable method of threatening to assassinate was extremely simple and effective, the backlash was also extremely great.    

Li Zhan's current strength was tyrannical, and his power was at its peak. Moreover, he had joined hands with the Yi Clan of the Immortal Weapon Sect, and his reputation was unparalleled. He was invincible and could suppress all dissatisfied voices and the power to resist.    

However, if Li Zhan's strength weakened one day, he would definitely suffer a backlash. After all, no one would really hope for such a despicable and shameless person to exist by their side. If such a person continued to exist, he would naturally take advantage of the situation.    

Once such a person grew up again and became stronger, the fate of others would be even more miserable.    

Therefore, in the history of the Divine Realm, there were many strong people like Li Zhan, who were like fishes crossing the river, but their fates were not very good.    

There was no other reason than that they suffered a backlash.    

The Third Prince also sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "Although the assassination threat is a minor method that people despise, it is extremely effective. Currently, there are already many families and forces in the Divine Capital who have been secretly bribed by Li Zhan. They are either threatened or unwilling to disobey. What should we do?"    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Those who can be bribed and threatened so easily are not tough people. Such people have limited combat strength and are not to be feared."    

"Even if that's the case, an ant can bite an elephant to death. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be too late."    

The Third Prince said anxiously.    

Chen Xiao nodded. His words made sense. The Third Prince's worry was necessary.    

He changed the topic and said, "So, this is the reason why you came to find me?"    

"Yes. Tonight, King Duan's Mansion is holding a grand birthday banquet. It is called to congratulate Father. At that time, many important figures from all over the Divine Capital will appear. At that time, the Seventh Prince will force King Duan to stand on his side and publicize it. This will be troublesome."    

The Third Prince said worriedly.    

Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "King Duan?"    

He did not have any impression of this king, and he was too lazy to remember him. There were too many kings in the Peerless Divine Dynasty, and most of them did not have any real power. They were just idlers.    

"King Duan is Li Qian's father. Previously, Li Qian unfortunately died in the secret realm," the Third Prince replied.    

Chen Xiao said with a face full of understanding, "So it's Li Qian's father. I have some impression of him."    

The Third Prince nodded and said, "King Duan is a good person. He likes to make friends. Although he is an idler king and does not have any real power, he has quite a few allies. In the past, he rarely stood on his side and rarely participated in the competition for the throne."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face darkened, "So this King Duan has always been in the middle?"    

"Yes."    

"Then why did you participate in this time?" Chen Xiao asked.    

The Third Prince sighed again and said, "I received news that one of King Duan's sons was kidnapped and his life and death are unknown. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on. It's very troublesome."    

"You mean this matter is related to Li Zhan?" Chen Xiao asked.    

The Third prince nodded heavily and said, "Yes. At this critical moment, to be able to cause such a big thing in the Divine Capital, and not be found out immediately, other than the Imperial Guards, only the Seventh Prince, and King Li Zhan, who have real power, are able to do so."    

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy as he said, "That's right. They are both members of the imperial family and have enough power. They are deeply rooted in the Divine Capital. If they want to cause trouble, they can cover it up for a short period of time. The problem is not big."    

"Yes, I have already sent people to search for him. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find him." The Third Prince said in a sullen tone.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think that Li Zhan's move against King Duan will work?"    

The Third Prince nodded and said, "It's very likely."    

"Oh? Why?"    

"Although King Duan has many sons, he only has dozens of sons, but …"    

"Wait a minute, you said that King Duan has dozens of sons?" Chen Xiao's mouth was wide open in disbelief.    

This was too much. Even if it was a pig, it was not that much.    

"That's right, dozens of sons, what's so strange about that?" The Third Prince blinked his eyes and said as if it was a matter of course.    

Chen Xiao covered his forehead, "Alright, you can continue."    

"Yes, although King Duan has dozens of sons, only a few of them are talented. Li Qian is one of them, but he died. Li Huang, who was secretly captured, is also one of them. If he died without any reason, it would be a big blow to King Duan."    

The Third Prince said with a gloomy face.    

He was not a god emperor after all, and his power was limited. Now that the Seventh Prince and Li Zhan had joined hands to secretly make some small movements, he wanted to stop them, but he was too weak to do so.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face turned gloomy, and he said, "So, the real problem is how to find King Duan's son who was kidnapped?"    

"Yes, if there is no news after tonight, once King Duan falls to the Seventh Prince, the consequences will be troublesome."    

The Third Prince said worriedly.    

Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he said, "So, are you confident that you can find King Duan's son tonight?"    

The Third Prince was startled for a moment, and his face was filled with pain. He clenched his fists and shook his head unwillingly, "No."    

Chen Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder, "Then don't worry. Since you can't find him tonight, then don't bother."    

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Chen Xiao, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"    

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy, and he said, "It's very simple. Since the other party wants to play dirty, then we don't have to endure it anymore. Since we've reached this point, it's time to show our strength."    

The Third Prince still did not understand, "Brother Chen Xiao, what do you plan to do?"    

Chen Xiao grinned, his expression exceptionally sinister as he said, "It's very simple. Then we'll use poison to attack poison. Let's learn from each other."    

Hearing this, the Third Prince's eyes lit up, and he understood. He suddenly clapped his hands.    

"Haha, wonderful. Brother Chen Xiao, you have a way. How could I not think of it? I almost fell into the trap of the Seventh Prince. I'll send someone to do it now."    

"En, go. Bring your dog with you to prevent accidents," Chen Xiao said.    

"Hehe, Brother Chen Xiao, don't worry. This time, we'll use poison to attack poison. Let's see how the Seventh Prince will deal with it."    

The Third Prince was in a good mood. He finally had a way to deal with it, and he did not have to sit and wait for death.    

Immediately, the two of them moved separately. Very soon, it was night time.    

After nightfall, the Divine Capital was bright as day. It was like a sea of lights, and it was extremely prosperous. Among them, the Duan King Palace was the most lively tonight.    

The city was all over the place with the news that the Duan King Palace was going to hold a birthday banquet tonight to congratulate the Divine Emperor. No one would refuse to come.    

No matter what status you had, as long as you came to the front of the Duan King Palace and said a few auspicious words for the birthday banquet, you could get a chance to eat the birthday banquet and receive a small gift.    

For a moment, the Duan King Palace was filled with people. The words of congratulations lingered for a long time, like a mountainous roar or a tsunami, and the momentum was huge.
