Peerless War God

Halfway through, Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng were silent and worried. Their eyes were filled with worry.    

To them, they were more worried about their families and relatives in Heavenly River City.    

The Black Heavens Divine Sect's power was too terrifying. Thinking about it carefully, they felt anxious and unable to calm down.    

Before this, no one could have predicted that a nameless and unknown evil cultivator force would actually grow to such a stage.    

If it was just a few Tribulation Transcenders, even if there were a few Immortal Realm experts, it would not be a big threat.    

However, the Black Heavens Divine Sect was extremely powerful. According to the intelligence, there was a huge army of several million cultivators. The weakest among these cultivators had already reached the Divine Soul Realm.    

Without a doubt, this was a terrifying force. Moreover, the number of people was still increasing.    

If given time, it was possible to flatten the entire South Kui Province. Just thinking about it made people shudder.    

"Captain, do you think this Black Heavens Divine Sect has a huge army of several million cultivators? Is this true? If it's true, wouldn't it be much larger than Violet Cloud City?"    

At this time, Gu Feng spoke, his heart full of doubts.    

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and nodded. He said, "It's true. I hope this is false news. Unfortunately, it should be true."    

"Sigh, I never thought that the unremarkable Black Sky Divine Sect would actually grow to such a degree. It is truly terrifying. If I knew this would happen, I would have killed it when it was still weak."    

Gu Feng's face was filled with regret and unwillingness.    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he felt like laughing.    

He said, "What? You think it's unbelievable? Heh, there is someone else behind the Black Sky Divine Sect. It's the Darkness Shrine who is planning this. There are even other unknown people behind the Darkness Shrine. No one knows what the Darkness Shrine's goal is."    

"This..." Gu Feng's face was filled with bitterness and gloom.    

Gu Lanyue interrupted and asked, "Captain, do you mean that there is another existence if there is no Black Sky Divine Sect?"    

"Yes, if it wasn't for the fact that they were oppressed too much, how could there be so many cultivators who would risk their lives to resist? Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is a principle that you must remember."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, and started to lecture.    

"Where there is oppression, there will be resistance?" Gu Feng muttered to himself as if he was deep in thought.    

Gu Lanyue's entire body trembled as she nodded her head and said, "Captain, I will remember it."    

"En, it's good that you remember it. In the future, you will be in charge of the Sky River City, so you must not repeat the same mistakes."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

He had already said what he wanted to say. As for how much the two of them remembered and how much they learned, it was not something he could control.    

"Yes."    

The two of them nodded in unison. However, they seemed to be distracted.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he sighed helplessly in his heart and did not say anything.    

Without experiencing it personally, how could he understand this principle? No matter how much he tried to explain, it was useless. He decided not to say anything more and save himself a lot of trouble.    

"Captain, according to what you said just now, since the Black Sky Divine Sect is being controlled by the Darkness Shrine, then we should think of a way to destroy it. Isn't that enough?"    

Gu Feng said eagerly.    

This method was the most effective one he felt.    

As soon as he said this, Chen Xiao rolled his eyes, "Destroy the Darkness Shrine? Do you know where it is? What kind of strength does it have?"    

"This..." Gu Feng was stunned. He actually had no idea.    

He had heard a lot about the Darkness Shrine and the legends. He knew a lot about the evil deeds, but he did not know what kind of background the Darkness Shrine had or how powerful it was. He did not know where the stronghold was either.    

It was as if there was a layer of terrifying fog covering everything, which was horrifying.    

"Captain, is there any news about the Darkness Shrine?" Gu Lanyue asked worriedly.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed, "No. This mysterious and powerful force is like a mystery. It is hidden very well. Other than the few experts who are doing things outside, the rest of the traces are not known by anyone. Sigh, I hope it's not the worst situation."    

"The worst case scenario? What does that mean?" Gu Lan Yue asked.    

Chen Xiao's expression was extremely solemn as he said in a deep voice, "As the old saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. However, after such a long time, the secret of the Dark Shrine has not been leaked at all. There is only one possibility left. Someone is covering up for the Dark Shrine and shielding them from the light. They are colluding with each other to commit crimes. This is the most terrifying thing."    

"This..." When Gu Lan Yue heard this, she couldn't help but gasp.    

One must know that there were nearly ten Immortal-level powerhouses that had been born in the Dark Shrine. Not only were they extremely active in the Kui Nan State, but they were also active in other places.    

Apart from that, there was nothing else.    

If what Chen Xiao said was true, then the Dark Shrine's influence was far more terrifying than they had imagined. It was even more deeply rooted, and it was coming with a ferocious momentum. It was not something that an ordinary Immortal could withstand.    

It was no wonder that the Black Sky Divine Sect dared to commit such a heinous crime and attack Yin Yang Palace and Sky River City at the same time. It was truly a big deal.    

Gu Feng swallowed his saliva and said with a face full of horror, "Captain, don't scare me. No matter how powerful the Dark Shrine is, can it be a match for the Nine Great Divine Sects?"    

Chen Xiao's expression was gloomy as he replied, "This is what I'm most worried about."    

"..." Gu Feng was speechless for a moment.    

Was this kind of thing really possible? It was too unimaginable, so he didn't dare to think about it.    

He desperately shook his head, trying to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart. Chen Xiao could just think about these troublesome things. All he needed to do was to hold the knife tightly in his hand and move forward.    

As for the other things, he couldn't be bothered to think about them.    

"Hmm?"    

Suddenly, Chen Xiao's expression changed as he detected something.    

Gu Lan Yue noticed it and asked, "Captain, what's the situation?"    

"Someone is coming from the direction of the Sky River City. It might be your people," Chen Xiao said.    

Gu Lan Yue raised her eyebrows. She was surprised at Chen Xiao's powerful Spiritual Sense, but she didn't notice it at all.    

"How do they look like?" Gu Lan Yue asked.    

"Three people. They look like this. Take a look."    

Chen Xiao was very careful. He stopped and waved his right hand in front of him, condensing a water mirror. Three male cultivators appeared in the mirror. One was a middle-aged cultivator, two were young cultivators, and they were rushing over with serious expressions.    

Gu Lan Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She replied, "Captain, don't worry. They are indeed cultivators from our Gu Clan. The middle-aged cultivator in front is called Gu Zhong Bei. He is an early-stage Tribulation Transcender. I watched him grow up and trust him."    

It was a special time, so Gu Lan Yue could completely understand Chen Xiao's caution.    

"Yes," Gu Feng agreed.
