Peerless War God

The survivors were all rejoicing. At least they could breathe big mouthfuls of air and no longer have to be on their toes.    

As for the dead, no one cared about them at all. Some of them were even cursing in their hearts.    

"You all know it now, right? Li Zhan offended Chen Xiao and wanted to kill him, but in the end, he fled in defeat and disappeared without a trace. Now that Chen Xiao came to take revenge, he vented his anger on the Duke of War's Mansion. Tsk."    

"It's actually like this. This Li Zhan is also a scoundrel, a person who doesn't have any sense of responsibility. He just left like that?"    

"That's right. If Li Zhan didn't have a grudge with Chen Xiao and fought for the position of the Divine Emperor with the Third Prince, he wouldn't have ended up like this today. It's really retribution."    

"This is great now. His entire family was annihilated, and not a single one of them was spared. What a sin."    

"Hmph, in my opinion, this Li Zhan is really a cowardly and weak person. Chen Xiao has surrounded the city for three years, but he didn't even dare to show his shadow. If he isn't a man, he wouldn't dare to do it."    

"He colluded with the Seventh Prince and attempted to usurp the throne. He didn't hesitate to collude with the Black Heavens Evil Cult and failed, but he could escape. Could the Battle Duke Mansion escape as well?"    

"You don't know this, right? I heard that the people of the Battle Duke Mansion also wanted to escape, but they were not able to do so in time."    

"Hiss ~ So there's such a thing?"    

For a moment, as the Great清洗 in the Heavenly Battle City came to an end, all kinds of discussions and rumors were going around.    

Without exception, they all pointed at Li Zhan.    

The conspiracy to usurp the throne, colluding with the Black Heavens Evil Cult in secret, and launching a rebellion were all widely spread. It was vivid as if they had seen it with their own eyes.    

Humans were naturally curious, and they would always find a reason for their ostrich mentality.    

Gradually, the rumors about Li Zhan became more and more absurd, and Li Zhan became more and more sinister and terrifying.    

At the same time, in the Battle Duke Mansion, on a towering mountain peak in the back mountain, Chen Xiao and Li Juechen sat on the ground. A pot of hot tea was brewed in front of them.    

Li Juechen's expression was playful as he took a sip of the tea. The taste was mellow and the aftertaste was endless.    

"What a good tea, you are quite generous." Li Juechen laughed.    

Chen Xiao's face was expressionless as he put down the teacup, "It was found in the Warlord's Mansion. It is a rare high-grade tea."    

After seven consecutive days of cleansing, all those who had close relations with Li Zhan were not spared. The bloodshed in the Heaven Battling City was soaring, and the sins were everywhere.    

Not only did he kill the people of the Warlord's Mansion, he also confiscated many good things.    

Hearing this, Li Juechen's hand froze and he slowly put down the teacup. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nauseous.    

"Why? Are you not feeling well? Even a great general like you would pity a traitor?"    

Chen Xiao asked.    

Li Juechen shook his head and did not respond to this topic. In his opinion, it was meaningless.    

Since ancient times, the winner was always the king and the loser was always the villain. This was an unbreakable principle.    

Li Zhan stood on the side of the Seventh Prince and fought a life and death battle with the Third Prince. In the end, he was defeated, but he escaped.    

Then naturally, he should bear all the consequences, including being annihilated.    

Among them, even the matter of Li Zhan secretly colluding with the Black Sky Evil Cult could not be considered much.    

However, this way, Li Zhan's reputation would be completely ruined. The reputation that he had accumulated for thousands of years would be completely destroyed.    

Thinking of this, Li Juechen looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of fear in his eyes.    

This guy not only killed people, he also wanted to destroy their hearts. His methods were even more vicious than he had imagined.    

"Chen Xiao, not only did you destroy Li Zhan's entire family, you also took the opportunity to spread rumors and destroy Li Zhan's reputation, making him go to the streets. Is this your method? It's brilliant. Even I feel a little impressed."    

Li Juechen looked at Chen Xiao and slowly said.    

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "That's right. Killing people is not scary, but what is scary is destroying their hearts. Since Li Zhan gave me this opportunity, how could I let him go so easily?"    

It was not difficult to destroy a person physically, but to completely destroy a person mentally was the most thorough way to destroy them.    

Chen Xiao knew what to do.    

Hearing that, Li Juechen could not help but give a big thumbs up and say, "That's ruthless, powerful. I now understand why Old Seven lost so miserably. He lost to someone like you, so it was not unfair for him to lose."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao sighed and said, "That's right. If it weren't for me, the Seventh Prince would have won. Even if the Seventh Prince and Yi Tianren colluded with each other, colluding with the Black Sky Evil Cult in the dark, would you care?"    

This was something Chen Xiao had always wanted to ask, but he just happened to have this opportunity today.    

Li Juechen remained calm and did not answer in a hurry.    

He sipped on his tea and said slowly, "In the history of the human race, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. As for the so-called evil cult, is it important?"    

Chen Xiao was a little surprised. He stared straight at Li Juechen and said, "I find it hard to imagine that you would say such a thing. You are a member of the royal family."    

Li Juechen smiled, "A member of the royal family? That is just an identity. It is useless to me. Instead, it will only be a burden. Back then, wasn't our Li family also rebelling, overthrowing the old king, and successfully turning the tables?"    

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. He thought he had heard wrongly.    

"You really dare to say that."    

"Haha, I am with you today. There is no need to be so perfunctory. It's meaningless. Power is the truth. As long as you win, whatever you say is right."    

Li Jue Chen said indifferently, with a calm expression.    

Chen Xiao's heart moved, "Why do I feel that there is something hidden in your words? What do you mean?"    

Li Jue Chen stared at him and said, "It's very simple, because you haven't won completely."    

"Not completely?"    

"Yes, because Li Zhan hasn't died yet and his whereabouts are still unknown. As long as Li Zhan doesn't die, he will be your biggest threat. He will treat you as a thorn in his side and will come to you to seek revenge. You have to be on your guard at all times, and be careful of Li Zhan's revenge. Do you still think that you have won? "    

Li Jue Chen said coldly.    

Li Jue Chen's words made Chen Xiao's heart sink, and he nodded.    

"Your words make sense, so I am ruining his reputation. The next step is to issue a bounty on him in the entire Kui Nan Province. As long as Li Zhan appears, I will be able to immediately find him."    

Chen Xiao said indifferently with a calm expression.    

This time, it was Li Jue Chen's turn to be surprised. He was surprised by Chen Xiao's calmness, and he was actually not afraid at all. It was really strange.    

One had to know that Li Zhan was a true Three Tribulations Longevity Realm expert. His strength was extraordinary, and he was not to be trifled with.    

To let such a strong person spy on him in the dark, just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.    

At the very least, in his opinion, if he were to face such an enemy, his back would feel cold, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it.    

In comparison, Chen Xiao was so calm. It seemed like he had some kind of confidence that he did not know about.
