Peerless War God

A group of people dressed in black were hiding in the dark, and they were muttering something. They stared vigilantly at their surroundings with a sneaky expression, and they seemed to be on guard.    

At this moment, a man dressed in brocade clothes with a haughty and arrogant expression walked over with a group of guards.    

When the few of them saw him, they hurriedly greeted him.    

"Chief Wang."    

"Greetings, Chief."    

"Greetings, Lord Chief."    

Chief Wang sneered coldly, and he was rather arrogant as he stopped and berated, "Is there any abnormality?"    

"No, there's nothing abnormal. Please don't worry, Lord Chief. We brothers are guarding this place, and even a mosquito wouldn't be able to get past us."    

The leader of the group spoke with an attentive expression, and he was rather confident.    

When he heard this, Chief Wang nodded with satisfaction, and then he said, "Very good. However, all of you must remember that this is something that the Seventh Prince personally instructed us to do. If anything goes wrong, even if all of you lose your lives, it would still not be enough. All of you must be careful, and you must not be careless."    

"Yes."    

"Yes."    

When everyone heard this, their hearts went cold, and they felt rather fearful.    

They were all extremely clear about the Seventh Prince's temperament.    

The leader paused for a moment and asked carefully, "Tonight, King Duan's birthday celebration is going to be grand, and there are so many people here to watch the ceremony. Could it be that something big is going to happen?"    

Chief Steward Wang glared at him and said hatefully, “Do you need to know about this kind of thing?”    

The leader was frightened and lowered his head repeatedly. “I don’t dare, I don’t dare. I was the one who spoke too much.”    

Chief Steward Wang smiled sinisterly and said proudly, “All of you are clearly aware that we will share the same glory and suffer the same losses as the Seventh Prince. As long as we can safely pass through tonight, the matter will be settled.”    

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up and became excited. They instantly became red.    

“Alright, with Chief Steward Wang’s words, all of us brothers would dare to die for him,” the leader replied.    

“We would not hesitate to die for the Seventh Prince.”    

“We would die for the Seventh Prince at all costs.”    

Everyone responded in unison, each one more enthusiastic than the last.    

They all knew that following the Seventh Prince and risking their lives every day was for the Seventh Prince to be able to seize the throne of the Divine Emperor one day. Then, they would be able to follow him to the heavens and enjoy endless wealth and glory.    

For this goal, paying any price was worth it.    

Chief Steward Wang was very satisfied. He patted the leader’s shoulder and said, “Do your best.”    

“Yes.”    

Suddenly, a strange cry sounded.    

“Eh?”    

“What’s that?”    

Someone at the side made a strange sound. Chief Steward Wang turned his head to look and saw that black cracks had appeared in the sky. At first, they were only about an inch long, but they quickly expanded and became a foot long, or even longer.    

Chief Steward Wang’s eyes narrowed, revealing a cold light as he said in a low voice, “Black crack? What is this? Who is the one who caused this?”    

Without waiting for the others to respond, more and more black cracks appeared in the sky. One, two… eight, nine… and it was still increasing rapidly.    

At this time, Chief Steward Wang suddenly reacted, “Not good, this is a spatial divine ability? Quickly dodge it.”    

“Spatial divine ability? What is that?”    

“This is… killing intent?”    

“Gasp.”    

Chief Steward Wang’s feet rooted to the ground, his body turning cold. He was unable to dodge in time, only to see sword shadows flying out from the black cracks, stabbing towards him.    

“Ah.”    

“No…”    

“What the hell is this?”    

Accompanied by the flying sword shadows, they were like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. In just an instant, all the living people around Chief Steward Wang fell down, their chests struck by the sword, the sword energy penetrating their bodies, their life force completely extinguished, their souls extinguished.    

There was no lack of cultivators at the Tribulation Transcender Realm, their strength extraordinary. In just a single exchange, they didn’t even have the chance to resist before dying.    

Chief Steward Wang only felt his throat tighten, as if someone had forcefully grabbed it, unable to breathe.    

His entire body was cold, standing where he was, not daring to move at all.    

He opened his eyes wide, releasing his spiritual will, but he suddenly discovered that at some point in time, someone had set up an isolation barrier around him. His spiritual will was like a mud bull entering the sea, disappearing without a trace, unable to penetrate at all.    

For a moment, he wanted to...    

Seeing this, Chief Steward Wang was already scared half to death, and even his speech became stammering.    

"Who are you? Who are you in the end? Why are you acting so mysterious? I am a trusted aide of the Seventh Prince. If you dare to kill me, you will definitely suffer a retaliation, and you will never be able to recover."    

In the dark, a voice said, "A trusted aide of the Seventh Prince? Heh, looks like I really found the right person."    

"What do you want to do?"    

"I want to borrow your life."    

"Ah."    

...    

On the other side, at the celebration of King Duan's birthday, all the major and minor forces in the Divine Capital came to pay their respects to King Duan.    

After three rounds of wine and five rounds of dishes, the main character finally appeared.    

King Duan's expression was a little worried, and his brows were frowned. He sighed and walked out from the back hall, followed by the Seventh Prince and Yi Tianren, who were inseparable.    

"It's King Duan."    

"Greetings, King Duan. I wish you a long life."    

"I wish you a long life, King Duan."    

In the hall, everyone raised their wine cups and bowed to King Duan.    

King Duan's expression was quite embarrassed. Although today was a birthday celebration, it was a great torture for him. He was struggling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.    

Facing the threats of the Seventh Prince and Yi Tianren, he could only accept his fate.    

"Sigh, forget it. Third Prince, I had no choice but to admit it. You can't blame me."    

King Duan felt extremely uncomfortable. In order to survive, he had no choice but to give in.    

At the same time, he quickly put on a smile and replied to the crowd one by one with a toast. The scene was extremely lively and joyous.    

However, at this moment, the Seventh Prince and Yi Tianren arrived one after another. They walked behind King Duan and were slightly slower than him.    

In an instant, the entire hall became silent, and the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.    

Everyone stared at the two of them with their eyes wide open in disbelief, especially the Seventh Prince.    

After all, at this critical moment, the entire Divine Capital was extremely sensitive.    

Within the Divine Capital, the three princes were all fighting for the throne of the Divine Emperor. Once the old Divine Emperor passed away, the throne would definitely be chosen from the three princes.    

At this moment, King Duan had specially invited the Seventh Prince to come. His actions were intimate. Could it be that King Duan was going to side with the Seventh Prince?    

For a moment, all kinds of guesses appeared in the hearts of the people present. Some were shocked, some were reasonable, and some were in disbelief.    

After all, everyone in the Divine Capital knew that King Duan was a person who was good at waving his sleeves and making friends. He rarely got involved in the matters of the three princes and had always been a neutral attitude. No one would help him.    

Such an idle prince suddenly changed his attitude at this moment? Many people could not figure it out and began to mutter in private.
