Peerless War God

“Haha, Big Brother Chengquan, we’ve struck it rich! There are so many treasures, all of them are ours!”    

One of the deacon elders laughed arrogantly.    

“Nonsense! The Patriarch said that he would distribute these treasures to assist in the defense of the city. We can only watch.”    

The deacon elder licked his dry lips, his eyes full of greed. He wished he could immediately take action and take these treasures for himself.    

However, with Gu Chengquan around, they couldn’t be too ugly and didn’t dare to take action.    

“Big Brother Chengquan, are we really going to distribute these pills and treasures?”    

One of the deacon elders asked tentatively.    

Gu Chengquan pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, “If we distribute so many pills and treasures to others, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity? Why don’t we take them ourselves? Hehe.”    

Hearing this, the three deacon elders were ecstatic, their eyes shining.    

“Brother Chengquan is wise.”    

“Brother Chengquan is right. We should do this.”    

“That’s right. The Heavenly River City is about to fall. We should split the loot and seek for a way out. We should pray for our own good. Once the Heavenly River City falls, we can escape and preserve our lives.”    

The three of them thought about it and said it bluntly. They were completely afraid of death and ran away after taking the treasures.    

Gu Chengquan was happy about it. He felt more at ease if someone worked with him.    

Brother Changsheng, you can’t blame me. The Heavenly River City is about to be destroyed anyway. Those guys from the Black Sky God Cult are too cruel. I have to protect myself and leave a way out for myself.    

Gu Chengquan smiled sinisterly. “Move faster. We’ll take 50% of the treasures. We’ll split the remaining 50%. We can’t delay this.”    

“Only 50%? That’s too little,” a deacon said unhappily.    

“50% is not a small amount. If we take too much, we might not be able to cover it up. At least we can’t expose it too quickly,” Gu Chengquan said coldly.    

“Yes, yes. Brother Chengquan is thoughtful.”    

“Hurry, hurry up and take them all. Don’t leave a single one behind.”    

In next to no time, under Gu Chengquan and the other three’s sweeping away everything, the family’s treasury was completely emptied, leaving nothing behind.    

Seeing this, Gu Chengquan was satisfied. He touched the storage ring in his hand and laughed heartily as he strode out of the treasury’s entrance.    

Outside the door, the few guarding Tribulation Transcenders revealed a look of suspicion as they stared fixedly at Gu Chengquan and the others.    

Earlier, when Gu Chengquan and the others spoke, they intentionally concealed it, not revealing anything at all. However, their actions were truly abnormal, causing them to be suspicious.    

However, they were only looking at the entrance in the end, and their status and strength were far inferior to Gu Chengquan’s. Thus, they didn’t dare to ask too much.    

Gu Chengquan strode out, and then his feet stopped as he tossed out a few storage rings. He said, “You’ve all worked hard all these years. Everyone who sees it has a share. The Patriarch said that this is what you deserve.”    

A few storage rings floated before the guarding Tribulation Transcenders, emitting a precious glow that caused others to drool endlessly.    

“What, what’s the meaning of this? Second Patriarch.”    

“This is the Patriarch’s intention?”    

A few Guarding Tribulation Transcenders hesitated, but they didn’t dare to receive it.    

However, Gu Chengquan didn’t pay attention to them, and he laughed loudly as he strode out swiftly and flashed towards the outside, and then he quickly vanished.    

On the spot, the Guarding Tribulation Transcenders looked at each other, and then they received the storage rings. When they glanced at it, they were instantly shocked.    

“So many treasures! This is a huge expense! Could it be that the Second Master really emptied the family’s treasury?”    

“Looks like it’s true. Is this a good or bad thing?”    

“Gu Chengquan is extremely greedy and corrupt, and the three people behind him are no exception. The family’s treasury has been emptied, so there probably won’t be much left to distribute, and it will surely be taken by him. The Patriarch is muddleheaded.”    

The Guarding Tribulation Transcenders sighed with grief, yet they were powerless to do anything.    

At this moment, an old Guarding Tribulation Transcender sighed heavily. “Forget it. Since it’s the Patriarch’s intention, then we’re powerless to do anything. Looks like the Patriarch still doesn’t trust us. Sigh.”    

“Forget it. Since things have come to this, there’s no point in saying anything. Looks like we have to think about it for ourselves and keep our own plans.”    

“Exactly, to keep a path of retreat.”    

“Yes, that’s right.”    

Outside the family’s treasury, Gu Chengquan arrived in the sky with a heavy treasure in his possession. He gazed at the chaotic and nervous Sky River City and smiled coldly before he said, “You all go now and distribute the medicinal pills and treasures. You must make a grand show of it and let the Patriarch see it, so that he can muddle through.”    

“Big Brother Chengquan is wise, this move is truly brilliant.”    

“Exactly, the Patriarch won’t personally ask about it, and he won’t personally do it. We’ll just do it conveniently and reap the benefits. That’s the most reasonable way.”    

Hearing this, Gu Chengquan glared at them. “That’s called a hardship fee and a loss.”    

“Yes, yes, yes.”    

“Go, don’t delay it. Remember, you must make it grand, the bigger the better.”    

“Understood. Big Brother Chengquan, you can rest assured. It’s too easy to find a few people to help make a show of it and act as a scapegoat.”    

“That’s good. Go quickly.”    

“Let’s go.”    

Immediately, the three deacons took the benefits and went to work.    

Even though the Sky River City was in imminent danger and was on the verge of collapse, they still had to live on. If the Sky River City was destroyed in the end and the Gu Clan perished, then they, as powerful Tribulation Transcender experts, would have plenty of good places to go. They had to protect themselves first and leave a path of retreat for themselves.    

Thinking up to this point, Gu Chengquan raised his head and looked at Gu Changsheng in midair as he muttered, “I’m sorry, Big Brother. I want to live, I want to protect myself, so I must leave a way out.”    

After that, he took out a jade talisman and crushed it with force.    

Before long, an inconspicuous cultivator wearing a black robe and a pitch black mask appeared before him.    

“I’ve agreed to Protector Hei’s suggestion. Remember, don’t forget the promise he made to me.”    

The black-robed cultivator laughed in a rather sinister manner, “As expected of the Gu Clan’s Second Master. He really knows how to adapt to the situation. Rest assured, our Lord Protector will never go back on his word. The promise he made will definitely be fulfilled, so the Second Master can rest at ease. He will leave you a way out.”    

“Yes, this is a talisman for a formation master. With this, you can enter and exit the core of the formation.”    

As he spoke, Gu Chengquan took out a jade talisman and handed it over.    

The black-robed cultivator chuckled, “Looks like the Second Master already has a plan in mind. Not bad, he really is a wise man who adapts to the situation. He’s unlike Gu Changsheng, who stubbornly refuses to give up. At that time, he won’t even know how to write the word ‘death’. Hmph.”    

Gu Chengquan's expression turned cold, “Shut up, you are not allowed to speak blindly.”    

“Yes, Second Patriarch, this one spoke blindly. I apologize.”    

Gu Chengquan sighed. He could roughly guess the other party's inner thoughts. He must have looked down on him. He was clearly the Second Patriarch, yet he betrayed the family at this critical juncture and betrayed Gu Changsheng.    

But he still had a way out. He did not want to die.
