Peerless War God

In the Soul Sea, Xilo said with a smile.    

Chen Xiao shook his head. It was great to empty someone else's treasury, but he owed a huge favor to them.    

Not to mention the pills and treasures, even the Heavenly Rainbow Sword was worth a lot. It was enough for an Immortal Realm expert to fight for it with all his might.    

But now, he had obtained it so easily. Even he felt that it was a bit unbelievable.    

"Although that's the case, we can't take someone's things for free." Chen Xiao said.    

Xilo sneered and said, "Li Chengfeng is repaying his gratitude. If it wasn't for you, he would have died in the secret realm long ago, and his corpse would not have been left behind. How could he have today? It can be said that without you, he wouldn't have today. He would have become the new Unparalleled Divine Emperor and would have been so awe-inspiring."    

Chen Xiao chuckled and sighed in his heart. Life was fated. Everything was a coincidence.    

This was his life, and it was also Li Chengfeng's life. It was caused by the heavens.    

Thinking of this, he used his Spiritual Sense to scan the entire Divine Imperial Palace. In an instant, he found Li Chengfeng in a study room.    

In the next moment, Chen Xiao appeared outside the study room.    

Chen Xiao's sudden appearance was like a ghost. There was no sign at all, scaring the guards to the point that their expressions changed drastically.    

"Who are you?"    

"Protect the emperor, quickly protect the emperor."    

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor."    

Amidst the clamor, hundreds of guards surrounded Chen Xiao. There were three layers of guards outside and inside the city. The leaders were a few cultivators of the Plundering Immortal Realm, and their strength was acceptable.    

"Back down."    

At this time, a deep and calm voice came from the study. It was Li Chengfeng.    

The guards were stunned and did not understand what was going on. However, since it was His Majesty, the Divine Emperor, who had personally spoken, they did not dare to do anything and retreated, leaving a path.    

Chen Xiao smiled and swept his gaze across the surroundings. It was much simpler than he had imagined. Then, he walked into the study as if he was entering a place without people, and no one dared to stop him.    

Li Chengfeng walked over with heavy footsteps, his face full of joy.    

"Brother Chen Xiao, long time no see. You finally came out."    

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the many guards and palace maids changed once again. They looked at Chen Xiao with incomparable shock, unable to calm down for a long time.    

"So he is the legendary Lord Chen Xiao?"    

"The legend is actually true. Lord Chen Xiao and His Majesty are like brothers. They are like brothers, and they trust each other. Back then, the two of them had lived and died together, and only then did they destroy the Seventh Prince's forces and ascend to the throne."    

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his eyes were filled with shock.    

"It's been three years. It seems that you have lived better than I thought." Chen Xiao laughed.    

"Woof."    

Fugui also jumped over from the side and wagged his tail quickly. He lied down beside Chen Xiao's feet, his entire dog face showing a look of flattery.    

When Li Chengfeng saw this, he scolded with a smile, "This dog thing is also a snob."    

Chen Xiao rubbed Fugui's big dog head hard and looked at Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng understood and waved his hand.    

"All of you can go down."    

"Yes, Your Majesty."    

"Yes, Your Majesty." …    

The guards and palace maids outside and inside the study room retreated according to the order.    

Chen Xiao saw this and waved his hand casually, setting up a barrier before casually sitting down to the side. He smiled and said, "Three years have passed since we last met. After becoming the Divine Empress, your prestige has greatly increased."    

Li Chengfeng went forward and poured a cup of tea for Chen Xiao first. Then, he said, "Brother Chen Xiao, you must be joking. I am just a laborer. How can I come here with a carefree and relaxed appearance like you are hiding in the treasury? It seems that Brother Chen Xiao's strength has improved during this period of time?"    

Chen Xiao shook his head and took a sip of tea. He replied, "Advancement is impossible, but my injuries are almost healed. I also obtained a few handy things."    

"That Heavenly Rainbow Sword?" Li Chengfeng asked.    

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. "You know about it?"    

Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly and sat down as well. He teased Fugui while replying, "How could I not know? Brother Chen Xiao, you caused such a big commotion and reported it to me as soon as possible."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao laughed out loud, "This sword is not bad. Don't think that I will return it to you."    

Li Chengfeng smacked his lips and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, you must be joking. If there is anything you need, just take it. A mere Heavenly Rainbow Sword is nothing."    

When he said this, he naturally had some confidence.    

Although the Heavenly Rainbow Sword was good, the sword spirit beast inside was very difficult to deal with. Ordinary cultivators were unable to tame and refine it. Even Li Chengfeng himself was helpless against it.    

Now that the Heavenly Rainbow Sword had been taken away by Chen Xiao, it could be considered a favor. Otherwise, if it was hidden in the treasury, it would only be a piece of jewelry that was covered in dust.    

Moreover, he was now a new Unparalleled Divine Emperor. He had the entire Unparalleled Divine Empire under his control. His wealth and treasures could not be measured. If he accumulated them for a period of time, he could recover his vitality again.    

As long as the Divine Empire was not in chaos, the treasury would definitely not be empty.    

Chen Xiao nodded. These words were reasonable. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he began to talk about business.    

"Is there any news about Li Zhan?" Chen Xiao's face was solemn as he asked.    

Li Chengfeng's face was gloomy as he shook his head and said, "No. It's been three years, and there is no trace of him. It seems like he is determined to hide until the end and refuses to show himself."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart sank. This was not good news.    

Right now, the greatest threat to him was the missing Li Zhan. The enemy hiding in the dark was the most terrifying threat.    

"How is the situation in Heaven Battling City?" Chen Xiao asked again.    

Li Chengfeng sighed and said, "We have been following Brother Chen Xiao's instructions and have been surrounding Heaven Battling City. We wanted to use this move to lure out Li Zhan, but the truth proved that this move was useless."    

Chen Xiao's face darkened, and he thought about it, "Is it like this? Is it still Li Juechen personally guarding Heaven Battling City?"    

"Yes, in the past three years, the Great General has not left and has been guarding outside of Heaven Battling City," Li Chengfeng said slowly.    

Chen Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this.    

"Li Juechen, he is listening to your orders?"    

Li Chengfeng frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think he did not listen to my orders. He felt that doing this was the most beneficial to the Li family."    

"Oh, what do you mean?"    

After a pause, Li Chengfeng slowly said, "The Great General does not have any ambitions for the throne of the Divine Emperor. Other than immersing himself in cultivation, he only cares about the survival of the Li family. Previously, when I was fighting with Old Seven, he did not interfere. Now that the situation has been settled, I am the new Divine Emperor. For the safety of the royal family, I must get rid of Li Zhan to avoid future troubles. I guess the Great General thinks so."    

Chen Xiao pondered after hearing this.    

These words sounded reasonable, but he felt that Li Juechen would not be so simple.    

As princes, they both had the surname Li. Would Li Juechen really cooperate with him to deal with Li Zhan?    

He was very doubtful about this.    

Li Chengfeng was a little confused, "Brother Chen Xiao, you don't trust the Great General?"    

"Yes."    

"Then what do you plan to do?"    

"I'll go there personally and see for myself."    

"This, I can only do that."    

"Hmm."
