Peerless War God

The first thing that the army did was to set up a defensive perimeter, and the second thing was to set up a tent!    

It had only been four hours, but almost all the tents had been set up in the open space that could originally be seen.    

However, these tents were organized and orderly, and in the largest one, a group of commanders was quietly listening to what Chen Xiao had to say, with interesting expressions on their faces.    

Because at this moment, Chen Xiao had actually revealed his true purpose for coming here!    

When the people present heard that they had not been sent to guard the spirit stone vein, but had actually been sent here to do so randomly, to attack the three Heavenly Kings at any time, they were all extremely frightened.    

It had to be said that they only had a mere hundred and fifty thousand people. Those three all had at least a million soldiers. It would be too easy for them to deal with them.    

"You don't need to be so worried. We are only Elite Armaments. It is unknown whether we will fight them head on!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.    

The moment those words were said, the group was startled, and immediately after, their faces revealed expressions of relief. However, the following words that Chen Xiao said made everyone's faces become even more unsightly.    

"Although we are not the main force that will deal with them, we are considered to be on our own now. According to my understanding, those three Heavenly Kings should be in the fourth or fifth heaven right now. It can be said that we are very close to them!"    

"Do you mean that we are now lambs to be slaughtered?" The commanders were truly stunned.    

"En!" Chen Xiao nodded his head: "So, I need you all to focus on me every single moment to prevent any sneak attacks from happening, because I suspect that those people will very likely use us as a target. After His Majesty killed Queen Mu, the three Heavenly Kings have not made any moves at all, and now that we are in their sights, they might even set us as an example for retaliation!"    

Hiss …    

The sound of someone sucking in a mouthful of cold air suddenly rang out!    

They were merely the great commanders below, and normally, they would not be able to come into contact with much information, nor did they know that the location where the three Heavenly Kings had garrisoned their troops was nearby. But now, not only did they know, they even knew of Chen Xiao's conjecture, and their faces immediately turned extremely interesting.    

If what Chen Xiao said was true, then wouldn't all of them have come here to die?    

However, even though he knew all of this, he couldn't refute what he had said. Since they had come, could it be that he had to go back now?    

Wouldn't that make him a deserter?    

If he became a deserter in the Heavenly Court, then the consequences would be severe!    

No one could bear the consequences of this either.    

At present, these people were in a dilemma, and the gazes they used to look at Chen Xiao did not seem too good.    

Chen Xiao knew what these people were thinking about, and sighed: "This is something that cannot be helped, we were sent here, and can only say that our luck is bad, but that is only my guess, maybe that won't happen, but you guys still need to be more alert, and also, I will set up a defensive array here, if danger approaches, the defensive array will support us for a period of time, furthermore, when we come here, the teleportation array will always be there, if it really comes to a crisis, Duan Wang and the others can come over to support us at any time, do you understand?"    

When these words were spoken, the group of people were first stunned before quickly reacting.    

That's right!    

Not only was the person in front of them a Tier 8 Pill King, but he was also an array expert. They had come directly by teleportation array, and the array was directly from Duan Wang's camp. If they were in danger, they could at least hold out until Duan Wang sends reinforcements!    

Thinking this way, everyone felt that this trip was no longer particularly dangerous, and all of their tense expressions gradually relaxed.    

Seeing that everyone had relaxed, Chen Xiao smiled, laughed and waved his hand: "Alright, there is nothing else, everyone can go back to take charge of the security in your own respective areas, you must remember, do not let others run up to you before you realize that the situation is not right, the hidden sentry must be set far away, at least let us have enough time to react!"    

"Yes!" This lowly general will remember this! " A group of people answered and left the tent, quickly going to their surroundings to arrange everything.    

After they left, Chen Xiao did not stay idle either. After exiting the tent, he went straight to a few nearby mountains, took out the formation flags he had prepared earlier and placed them nearby, after that he changed the formation slightly, causing it to become a great deal stronger, to the point where it had already reached the level of a level eight Divine Spirit Formation. Only then did he stop, and started to stroll back and forth between the various mountains.    

No one knew what exactly Chen Xiao was doing, but no one dared to step forward to inquire, as they all carried out their work step by step.    

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.    

In these three days, everyone had gotten used to the living environment, and Chen Xiao had even sent a few soldiers to find out more about the situation in the Ghost Market.    

The entire Ghost Market appeared to be quiet, as if nothing had happened. The originally nervous people gradually relaxed their vigilance, and there were even people sent by the Heavenly Court to come in, preparing to mine the Spirit Stones stored in the Spirit Stone mining lode.    

During these few days, other than walking around for a day, Chen Xiao would spend the rest of his time in his own tent cultivating. Although his cultivation had already reached the Divine Soul Realm, and it was difficult to increase his cultivation any further, Chen Xiao would not waste any of his time.    

In this loose environment, the workers responsible for guarding the spirit stone vein became more relaxed.    

But at this moment, the bad premonition in Chen Xiao's heart grew even stronger.    

Seemingly to confirm Chen Xiao's guess, on the evening of the fifth day, Chen Xiao suddenly received a message from the star bell.    

When he heard the contents, Chen Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted: "Immediately gather all the commanders, quickly!"    

"Yes sir!" Although Ma Chao and Jiang Quan did not know what had happened, they still rushed out to carry out the order.    

Inside the tent, Chen Xiao's face gradually darkened.    

Just now, the content of the star bell's teleportation was sent to him by King Lin, while the content was sent out by King Cheng, King Overlord and King Chang, each of the three armies had suddenly sent out a hundred thousand men, and the direction these one hundred thousand men were going, was in the direction of the Shadow Mountain Ghost Market!    

Whether it was by coincidence, or the fact that the three of them were preparing to attack them, Chen Xiao did not dare to be careless.    

After all, he wasn't afraid of ten thousand, he was only afraid of one!    

Even if it was just a chance, Chen Xiao did not want to gamble!
