Peerless War God

The moment these words were spoken, Overlord and King Cheng, who were to the side, instantly sighed.    

The three of them could not understand, how did things end up like this? A so-called immortal bone was able to bring the four Heavenly Kings to such a state, the key point was that the immortal bone was nowhere to be found, and they did not know if they should call it laughable or pathetic.    

They continued to rush into the depths of the starry sky, where it was not really a safe place, they had to find a place safe enough to stay for a period of time, even if they had to agree on a partnership with the remnants of the previous dynasty, that would be in the future, and what they needed to do the most right now was to find a place to stay, otherwise, even if their cultivation level was high enough, they would not be able to take it.    

… ….    

On the other side, Chen Xiao watched Xing Wu lead a group of close guard's men and disappear from sight in the starry sky millions of miles away from the Ghost Market of Dark Mountain. Only then did he look at the other three groups.    

These three groups of people were naturally sent by the other three new kings to hide nearby. They had similar goals to Chen Xiao.    

Earlier, these three groups of people, together with Chen Xiao's over a hundred thousand men, added up to nearly five hundred thousand men to stall the eight hundred thousand traitors who were trying to escape.    

However, halfway through their fight, hundreds of thousands of close guard suddenly appeared, led by Xing Wu himself.    

After the group of close guard arrived and confirmed the identity of the eight hundred thousand men, they immediately ordered Chen Xiao's group to retreat. After that, they used the Destruction Bow and with a few rounds of rotation, they forcefully scattered the hundreds of thousands of men's formation. Then, a few groups of people rushed forward and cut down those people.    

After sending his men down, Xing Wu simply collected a few spoils of war before leaving with his men. He handed over the rest of the battlefield to Chen Xiao and the others. He didn't even waste a word with Chen Xiao and the others before leaving in a huff.    

As for Chen Xiao and the others, they watched the people with real power from the Heavenly Court leave as they cleaned up the battlefield.    

"Everyone, what plans do you have for the future?" Chen Xiao raised his head and looked towards the other three groups of people.    

These people were from the other three kings and they were also involved in the cleaning up of the battlefield. Chen Xiao was naturally asking about the situation after the cleaning up of the battlefield.    

One of them cupped his hands towards Chen Xiao and said, "We will naturally report this to the upper peaks immediately and let the upper peaks decide!"    

The other two nodded, and then took out their star bell s to quickly contact each other in front of everyone.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao did not say much, and also took out his star bell and started contacting Duan Wang.    

After all, such a huge incident had occurred here, annihilating nearly a million of the local troops. This sort of major event still needed to be reported to King Duan. Otherwise, how could they possibly ask for military merits for those brothers and sisters?    

Suddenly, he received word from the people below that nearly a million people had been annihilated, so he was overjoyed and immediately informed about it. He then summoned Chen Xiao and had him return to the First Sky of Sky Army encampment to report this matter to the Heavenly Palace together with Duan Wang. As for Chen Xiao's men, they were temporarily staying at the Ghost Market of the Yin Mountain.    

With that, Chen Xiao did not delay any longer. After bidding farewell to the other three groups of people, he led the army back to the Ghost Market of the Yin Mountain. As he let the people below start fixing the formation, he started to repair the outermost layer of the formation.    

That formation was forcefully broken by the army of a million at the time, so Chen Xiao did not have the time to rearrange it later on. Now that he was about to return to Duan Wang Village, in order to make him leave, he naturally had to set up the formation and give the flags to Ma Chao and Jiang Quan before starting to repair the formation.    

The repair of the teleportation formation was a bit faster than he expected. In less than eight hours, it was completely repaired. After giving some instructions, Chen Xiao walked into the teleportation formation by himself and disappeared.    

After Chen Xiao left, the entire army encampment of the Shadow Mountain Ghost Market instantly entered the highest alert state.    

On the other side, in the original base, Chen Xiao opened his tent and walked out.    

There were still people in charge of guarding outside the tent. They greeted Chen Xiao as soon as they saw him.    

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, then went straight to the central camp of Duan Wang.    

Duan Wang had long since rushed back ahead of Chen Xiao. He even finished writing the memorial for the report.    

After Chen Xiao came to pay his respects, he directly said to Wu Tie, "Let's go, His Majesty summoned us to inquire about this matter. Your side has also had a great battle, and you are the one in charge, please take me there, and remember to answer this well, this time you have defeated the enemy twice, and even annihilated a million strong army. This must be a huge contribution, I see that before you can even warm up Lieutenant's seat, you will have to change your position, and I still have a vice general position, how about raising you up when the time comes?"    

When those words were said, Chen Xiao naturally said he didn't dare to. Duan Wang didn't say anything more and took Chen Xiao to the Heavenly Palace.    

They went to the Heavenly Palace, and since it was not the usual time for the imperial court, they directly reported it. After that, Chief Steward Sima personally welcomed Duan Wang, Chen Xiao, and the others into the Heavenly Emperor's imperial study, and then reported everything to the Heavenly Emperor in the imperial study.    

It was from Duan Wang that Chen Xiao learned that the four new kings had been defeated, that Chang Wang had managed to escape with over three hundred thousand men. On the other hand, even the Overlord's side, Xing Wu and his army had been defeated, and not only had they lost over four hundred thousand men, they had also lost over four hundred thousand men.    

Previously, Chen Xiao was still a little confused, but now he finally understood the real reason. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

During Duan Wang's report, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes were glued to the book in his hands. However, he would occasionally let out a "hmm" or interrupt to ask for a few details. The Heavenly Emperor did not seem to be flustered or exasperated by the failure of Duan Wang's side.    

However, he still looked expressionless.    

However, after Duan Wang finished reporting, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke up. "Those people from the Land-trap Region have come out, and they have cooperated with Overlord and King Cheng's side to besiege the close guard, causing considerable losses to the close guard's troops. Pay attention to the back, if you discover any clues, immediately report it to us!"    

"Yes sir!" Duan Wang quickly replied.    

Before coming to find King Duan, Chen Xiao had contacted King Lin and the others, and learned that not only had King Lin and the others achieved complete victory, they had also obtained more than a hundred thousand broken magic bows. Chen Xiao was truly happy for those guys, but was also secretly scared for their valiant fighting strength.    

"Chen Xiao, we did not misjudge you, we heard from the audience that you performed very well in the Star Wars Battlefield, we did not expect that you did not disappoint us this time, not only did you successfully repel two groups of rebels, but you also successfully captured three hundred thousand broken magic bows, we will remember this from the time when Duan Wang reported to us, and now you have made such a great contribution, what do you want us to reward you with?" The Sky Emperor looked at Chen Xiao with a smile. There was no trace of the haze that he had previously felt.    

Chen Xiao quickly lowered his head and said, "Everything will be decided by His Majesty. Besides, I left one hundred thousand broken magic bows to appease my brothers, so I have taken the reward myself. So, I don't dare to ask for more!"    

"Haha, Duan Wang has already explained to you about those hundred thousand broken bows, so you should keep them. That thing will only be of great use to a person like you if you keep it. Don't let me down!" The Celestial Emperor said meaningfully.    

"Yes, this subject will do his best!" Chen Xiao quickly cupped his fist.    

"Okay, the reason I asked you to sit with Lieutenant before is to see your ability to command. Now that you have seen it, there's nothing for you to reward for now, so I'll promote you to the position of vice commander-in-chief of Duan Wang. As for the rest, just listen to Duan Wang's arrangements!" The Celestial Emperor waved his hand.    

"Thank you, your majesty!" Chen Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands, while Duan Wang also cupped his hands to show that he knew.
