Peerless War God

"I am innocent. I have nothing to do with Li Zhan. Don't kill me."    

"Don't kill me. If you want to know anything, I will tell you everything. I will not hide anything."    

The sounds of fighting and screams mixed together. Ever since the Battle Heavens City was broken, it had been ringing in their ears.    

Chen Xiao had already given the order to capture the entire Battle Heavens City. Naturally, there would be some twists and turns.    

Li Jue Chen was personally leading the charge. Chen Xiao only needed to charge into the Battle Heavens City and kill everyone.    

In just a short while, the powerful battle formation formed by dozens of commander-level experts had killed all of the enemy. They killed all of the Tribulation Transcenders in the Battle Heavens City.    

At this time, a middle-aged commander, who was covered in blood and had a big beard on his face, arrived in front of Chen Xiao.    

"Imperial Advisor, these are the storage rings of these rebels. Please deal with them."    

The middle-aged commander handed over a dozen storage rings with both hands and said respectfully.    

Chen Xiao glanced at them and said indifferently, "Take them all and divide them."    

The middle-aged commander hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, this doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules."    

According to the military orders of the Peerless Dynasty, the spoils of war and trophies on the battlefield had to be handed over. After the commander collected them, they would be distributed to everyone.    

It was the first time that Chen Xiao had split the spoils of war on the battlefield.    

Chen Xiao sneered and said, "Rules? Here, what I say is the rule. Let's split it. You know what to do."    

Hearing that, the middle-aged commander had an excited expression and replied excitedly, "Yes, thank you, Imperial Advisor."    

He had swept through some storage rings before, and there were quite a few treasures and stockpiles. They were worth a lot of money, and it made people envious.    

Especially since these Tribulation Transcenders came from the Warlord's Mansion, they had a lot of money. Even he was very envious.    

Now, Chen Xiao had directly divided it. He couldn't be happier.    

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. "Go, surround the Warlord's Mansion. Don't let anyone go."    

"Yes."    

Following his order, the Warlord's Mansion was quickly surrounded. After the initial intense resistance, it became more obedient.    

Very quickly, the Warlord's Mansion was completely surrounded. Chen Xiao glanced around. There were still more than a thousand people in the huge Warlord's Mansion. They were all Li Zhan's relatives, and some of them were familiar faces.    

"Imperial Advisor, there is someone in the Warlord's Mansion who wants to see you. What do you think?"    

At this time, a subordinate came forward and reported.    

Chen Xiao sneered and said expressionlessly, "Take him here to have a look."    

"Yes."    

Not long after, a young man wearing purple luxurious clothes with a slightly bloated body and a face full of fear came over.    

Under the watch of a few Tribulation Transcenders, he was brought over. He looked at Chen Xiao with eyes full of nervousness and fear. He swallowed hard and tried to calm himself down.    

"Do you want to see me?" Chen Xiao asked.    

The man's legs went soft. Although he was an early-stage Tribulation Transcender, he could not use any strength in front of Chen Xiao's powerful aura. He weakly lay on the ground.    

From Chen Xiao's body, he could feel the aura of death approaching.    

When the other commanders saw this, their faces were filled with contempt and disdain.    

"My name is Li Lan. My father is Li Zhan. As long as you can let me go and spare my life, I can tell you the secret of the War King Manor."    

Li Lan mustered up his courage and said with all his strength.    

Chen Xiao's face was expressionless as he said, "Li Lan? An early-stage Tribulation Transcender?"    

Li Lan was afraid in his heart, but he still forced out a smile and replied, "Yes."    

"So you're saying that you ate so many pills and wasted so many resources to force out an early-stage Tribulation Transcender, but you're so weak. It seems that you aren't very well-liked by Li Zhan."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

He had no interest in the so-called secret of the War King Manor that Li Lan spoke of.    

Firstly, his true enemy was Li Zhan. Secondly, as long as he destroyed the entire War King Manor, a mere secret was not worth mentioning. As long as he searched his soul, he could easily find it, so it was not a big deal.    

"This..." Li Lan's face was filled with embarrassment, not knowing how to respond.    

From Chen Xiao's body, he felt an incomparable pressure. If he was even the slightest bit careless, he would be doomed. He would die on the spot. This was too terrifying.    

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat profusely, feeling a little regretful.    

Chen Xiao changed the topic and asked, "Since you are Li Zhan's son, can you find him?"    

Hearing this, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously shook his head. "I can't find him. My father has always been secretive, and he never tells anyone about his whereabouts. I can't find him either."    

"Oh, so that's the case. Then you don't have any value." Chen Xiao was a little disappointed and said casually.    

Although this answer was already within his expectations, he was still very disappointed when he heard it with his own ears.    

This meant that it was completely impossible to find Li Zhan's whereabouts from Li Zhan's relatives.    

It also made Chen Xiao know that Li Zhan was such a heartless person. He could disregard familial love.    

It seemed that he had overestimated him. It was impossible to force Li Zhan to show himself with the idea of surrounding the city.    

"Ah?"    

Li Lan was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.    

Chen Xiao sneered, and a sword light shot out from his eyes. With a bang, Li Lan's head exploded into a cloud of blood, and he died on the spot.    

Chen Xiao casually raised his hand and forcefully grabbed Li Lan's soul. The soul was covered in filth and looked exhausted. It was exhausted and weak. To be able to cultivate to the early stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm with such a foundation, he must have consumed a lot of pills. It was really a waste.    

"State Preceptor, what are you doing?"    

When the other commanders saw this, they all revealed shocked expressions and a trace of confusion.    

Very quickly, Chen Xiao gave them the answer.    

"Of course I want to search his soul."    

Chen Xiao said coldly and began to search his soul.    

Li Lan wailed in pain, as if he was in hell, tortured to the point of being completely naked. The pain of the soul search could be seen.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao was like a large hand that had pierced into Li Lan's brain, tearing it apart bit by bit, inspecting it one by one. It was very painful.    

Finally, after a while, Li Lan could no longer bear it. With a "Pa!", his soul was destroyed, and he turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.    

Chen Xiao opened his deep eyes and waved his hand in disdain.    

"A playboy who only knows how to enjoy himself. He deserves to end up like this. As for the secret of the Battle Duke Palace, haha, it's not that surprising."    

Chen Xiao thought.    

Most of Li Zhan's wealth was naturally carried with him, but even so, the wealth he left in the Battle Duke Palace was still a huge amount. It was difficult for ordinary people to reach it, and it was an unimaginable existence.    

From the soul search, it was known that the secret of the Battle Duke Palace was under the palace. There was a hidden treasure vault, and to open it, a special key was needed.    

However, this key was on the body of another extremely important person.
