Peerless War God

The reason that Xing Wu and the close guard had taken up the position was that they had both contributed greatly to the killing of Cheng Wang and the troops under his command.    

No one could object to the three men from the close guard. After all, everyone knew that the close guard was a loyal person to the Heavenly Emperor, and if they were to send three men to three places to fight against the officials below, their power would still be in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor. For this, no one could object, unless they wanted to offend the Heavenly Emperor.    

Next, was Duan Wang!    

It was also for the same reason. This time, Duan Wang and his men had made outstanding meritorious military exploits when they surrounded and annihilated the beast king.    

As a result, two of the men under Duan Wang's helmet obtained a new Heavenly King position, one was Yang Qing, the other was Chen Xiao!    

Although King Duan also wanted to fight for the three of them, there was nothing he could do.    

The remaining seven spots were occupied by the great generals under the helmets of the three new kings.    

There were only four left, but they were all taken over by four of the twelve marshals. Even with them, the twelve marshals had to be replaced a step further.    

It could be said that with the destruction of Cheng Wang, more than a million people could rise to power and become rich.    

Whether it was those who were transferred out or those who directly sat down as leaders, it was inevitable that there would be a whole new batch of people below.    

With regards to the matter of the Peerless King, even if it was preliminarily decided, the next step would be to wait for the battle achievements on the spot to be completely organized and reported. After which, it would be time to distribute the rewards to everyone.    

However, this matter could be carried out at the same time as the position of Heavenly King.    

After confirming that Chen Xiao had obtained the title of Heavenly King, Duan Wang immediately told Chen Xiao that he could directly bring the group of men Chen Xiao originally had with him as the initial combat strength under his helmet. As for the others, they would need Chen Xiao to recruit them himself, or they could wait for the Heavenly Court's arrangements.    

Of course, Chen Xiao's original men couldn't take away the broken bow in their hands. They had to return it to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao naturally agreed to this.    

Although the Destruction Bow was good, to Chen Xiao, the group of people under his command was even more important, because that group of people had been under his helmet for so many years. He had taken a lot of pills to support them, raising their cultivation and talent.    

From this, it could be seen that Duan Wang had also invested a lot this time. Even though he knew that Chen Xiao's men could already be considered elites under his command, he still promised Chen Xiao that he would take those hundred thousand men with him.    

This court meeting ended amidst everyone's excitement.    

After the assembly ended, Chen Xiao followed behind Duan Wang and walked out. He was immediately greeted by a group of people, and even Xing Wu, who usually ignored Chen Xiao, had a change in attitude towards Chen Xiao. He even specifically nodded to Chen Xiao before turning around to leave.    

The people who surrounded them were basically all marshals of the Twelve Forces, as well as a new batch of Heavenly Kings. They naturally gathered around to greet Chen Xiao and get to know him well.    

However, before the crowd left, Steward Sima slowly walked out of the hall. He glanced at the crowd, and then said with a smile, "His Majesty has given the order to invite the sixteen Heavenly Kings to the hall!"    

"Yes sir!" The sixteen Heavenly Kings bowed respectfully, and then under the lead of the Chief Eunuch, they entered the hall once more.    

As for the marshals of the Twelve Paths, they watched helplessly as the group entered before turning to leave.    

Only after the group entered did they realize that the Celestial Emperor was still sitting atop his throne and had not left.    

After the group entered, they once again cupped their hands and bowed to the Heavenly Emperor.    

The Celestial Emperor didn't bother to be polite and said with a smile, "There's no need to be overly courteous. I only let you in because I have some things I want to ask you to do!"    

"Your Majesty, please give your instructions!" The group hurriedly said.    

Currently, all twelve Heavenly Kings have been newly established, their foundations are unstable, everyone needs more support. At the same time, we also need to properly manage the areas of influence under their helmets, if any problems occur, or if we do not manage properly, I do not mind changing a Heavenly King, of course, if we manage well, the rewards will not be small either, and after this incident, no matter if it is an Overlord or an Empyrean, I am afraid that none of them will let it go. The Celestial Emperor replied.    

When these words were spoken, the group of people immediately looked at each other in dismay.    

Previously, they did not think too much about it because everyone had obtained the Heavenly Throne, but now that they had received some advice from the Heavenly Emperor, they immediately reacted.    

That's right!    

Where did they get their title of Heavenly King?    

That was killing Cheng Wang, stealing the positions of overlord and overlord!    

Regardless of that, it was enough to infuriate those two. Now that those two were hiding in the depths of the starry sky, no one knew where they were. If they got angry, they would bring their men to kill them.    

With their reputations, they didn't have any troops under their command. If they were to attack, they might not even be able to defend against it.    

The Celestial Emperor frowned when he saw the expressions of these people.    

As for the rest of the eight hundred thousand troops, all of you can gather them yourselves. When the time comes, you can just hand over the list of names to me, and these two hundred thousand close guard can only be a little intimidating.    

"Yes!" Thank you, Your Majesty! We will do our best and we will not disappoint His Majesty! "    

… ….    

Bullsh * t, the group of people were flattering him quite well.    

On the contrary, Chen Xiao understood what these two hundred thousand close guard meant in an instant.    

Was it really for their safety?    

Perhaps it would be interesting, but it was mostly because the Heavenly Emperor wanted to control them and not let them try to escape from his control. That was why he gathered the two hundred thousand people from the close guard to go there.    

The Heavenly Emperor himself had asked. He had gathered two hundred thousand of the close guard's elites, you can't possibly let them be the lowest class, right?    

As for the two hundred thousand officers, most of them had been taken over by the close guard. If these people wanted to rebel in the future, perhaps the Heavenly Emperor or even Xing Wu would give a loud cry as they surrounded their men and built a rebellion.    

Even though they knew it, no one dared to oppose it. Even Chen Xiao didn't have the right to do so.    

Rejecting the Heavenly Emperor's protection, rejecting the close guard's army, what are you trying to do?    

Rebel?    

Under the current situation, Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't say anything.
