Peerless War God

Although he was unwilling to enter the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, he had no choice but to do so under Yi Yun's coercion.    

Thinking of this, Li Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll go."    

Upon hearing this, Yi Yun's sinister expression loosened slightly. He said with a smile, "Very good. This is the Li Zhan I know. He was once an insufferably arrogant warlord that looked down on everyone. Even when faced with danger, he would not cower easily. This is very good."    

Yi Yun's words were extremely harsh on Li Zhan's ears. It was a bit ironic.    

He did not know if he was praising him or mocking him.    

Li Zhan's expression stiffened as he said in a deep voice, "There's no more Heavenwar City. I am no longer the warlord I used to be. I can't go back."    

Ever since he was defeated last time and was rescued by Yi Yun in a sorry state, the Heavenwar City had changed its name.    

Now, a hundred years had passed. Everything had changed. It had nothing to do with him.    

Yi Yun did not mind and said, "Is that so? That's a pity, but you don't have to be sad. Once you succeed in your revenge and kill Chen Xiao, you can come back again. A mere warlord city is nothing. I can help you rebuild a new city."    

"What?"    

Li Zhan's eyes were filled with excitement when he heard this. He stared at Yi Yun as he thought he had misheard.    

Yi Yun said with a calm expression, “Yes, I can help you rebuild a throne. You can control it and dominate a region, but the prerequisite is that you have to prove your strength and value to me. Do you understand?”    

Upon hearing this, Li Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. His breathing became heavier.    

“Yes, Great Elder, I understand.”    

It had to be said that rebuilding a royal city, a royal city protected by the Immortal Weapon Sect, was too enticing for him.    

However, if he wanted to obtain Yi Yun’s benefits, he would have to pay the price. There was no free lunch in this world, so he knew very well.    

Yi Yun smiled and took out a divine tower token and handed it over.    

Upon seeing this, Li Zhan hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. He squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip and dripped it on the token.    

As such, he had no room to regret.    

“Go, make your preparations. I think you can do it. Success or failure depends on this,” said Yi Yun calmly.    

“Yes, Great Elder.”    

Li Zhan took a deep breath and stood up. He left Yi Yun and silently walked to a large bluestone beside him. He sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate.    

In fact, he knew very well what Yi Yun’s motive was. It was to make use of him and make use of him.    

There were many Immortal Weapon Sect elders who had similar experiences to Li Zhan. They all had requests for Yi Yun, so they had no choice but to obey Yi Yun’s orders to force their way through the nine divine pagodas, even at the risk of their lives.    

However, the hatred he felt for Chen Xiao made him decide to do so, and he did not regret it.    

"Chen Xiao, this time, I will definitely kill you and take revenge. You won't be able to escape."    

...    

"Achoo."    

Inside the spirit mountain, Chen Xiao sneezed and wiped his nose with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.    

"Looks like someone is scolding me behind my back." Chen Xiao thought to himself.    

"Do you care about this?" In the soul sea space, Xiluo sneered.    

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and swept his gaze around, only to discover that everyone had a serious expression on their faces. They did not say a word and were only quietly meditating, adjusting their own condition to the best state at all times.    

Even Duke Zi Jin was no exception.    

Gu Changsheng also had a nervous expression on his face. It was obvious that he was very uneasy.    

Facing the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, even someone as strong as a long life cultivator did not have absolute confidence. After all, it was too dangerous.    

Chen Xiao retracted his gaze and said with a face full of emotion, "The spiritual energy here is dozens of times that of the outside world. Cultivating here will yield twice the results with half the effort. My progress is extremely fast. If I have enough time, breaking through to the second calamity of the long life is completely within my reach."    

"Although that's the case, the Black Pill Sect will not allow you to do so." Xiluo said coldly.    

"That's right. This place is monopolized by the Black Pill Sect, so how could we easily give it to others? We've already been waiting here for a while. It looks like the divine pagoda will open soon."    

"It should be."    

During this period of time, Chen Xiao was waiting, and at the same time, he was not idle. He was constantly paying attention to everything that happened in the forbidden area of the Profound Pill Sect.    

He discovered that all the major powers were very careful, and no one revealed any flaws. They all concealed themselves tightly.    

However, there were some exceptions.    

After Chen Xiao and his group arrived, there were still some people who were even slower than them, and they slowly rushed over from behind.    

Thus, these people were targeted by the major powers. Regardless of whether it was the people who came, or their strength, they were all clearly seen.    

As a result, it was very dangerous, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, they were the ones who came the latest.    

Without any disguise, their strength was seen through. Regardless of how many people they sent out, or the general cultivation of the cultivators, there was no secret to speak of.    

"As expected, the latecomers are at a disadvantage." Chen Xiao said coldly.    

Xiluo nodded and said, "That's right, that's the reason. That's why the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda was placed in the Profound Pill Sect. It is roughly the same as the eight sects. No one is at a disadvantage. As for those small powers, no one cares."    

"Is that so? Could it be that the cultivators of the Nine Sects can cover the sky with one hand in the Divine Pagoda?"    

Chen Xiao frowned. He was not happy about this situation at all.    

Thinking of this, he transmitted his voice to Marquis Zi Jin and asked, "Big Brother Zi Jing."    

"Speak." Marquis Zi Jin did not even blink as he replied.    

"Last time, when the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda opened, did the cultivators of the Nine Sects obtain the most benefits after entering?"    

Chen Xiao asked.    

Hearing that, Marquis Zi Jin opened his eyes and shot out a bright light. He said with a little surprise, "Oh, why do you ask?"    

"I'm just curious."    

"Heh, you are right. The Nine Sects is the largest and most powerful faction in the human race. They have a deep foundation and are filled with experts. They are also extremely united. Naturally, they will obtain the greatest benefits."    

Marquis Zi Jin said indifferently.    

"Oh, that's right." Chen Xiao was a little disappointed. This meant that it was within his expectations.    

After the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda was opened last time, Marquis Zi Jin had participated. His words would definitely not be wrong.    

The strong were always strong. For rogue cultivators, the chances were slim, and it was better than nothing.    

At this time, Marquis Zi Jin suddenly said, "However, as a rogue cultivator, your power is weak. It is not completely without a chance."    

"Oh, what do you mean?" Chen Xiao asked in surprise.    

"It's very simple. One has to be decisive and ruthless when making a move. Two, you have to learn to join hands and fight against your enemies. There might be a chance. The Nine Sects' cultivators are powerful, but they might not be able to do it in the Divine Pagoda."    

Marquis Zi Jin said coldly.    

After Chen Xiao heard that, he fell into deep thought.    

At this time, a sound transmitting talisman flew from somewhere and entered the forbidden area. Under countless gazes, it flew to the sky above a spirit mountain in the Violet Cloud City.
