Peerless War God

In the secret room of the Immortal Mansion, Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was dark and sticky. This was the hidden injury left in his body after he was injured by the lightning tribulation. It had been completely removed.    

He suddenly felt relaxed, his entire body feeling comfortable, and he felt an indescribable sense of freedom.    

"I never thought that in the blink of an eye, three years have passed and I have only suppressed this trace of the power of the lightning tribulation. It is truly extraordinary."    

Chen Xiao's heart stirred. He raised his hand and a ball of purple light appeared in his palm. Under the flickering of lightning, it emitted a shocking aura.    

He could clearly feel that the power of this purple light was astonishing. If he used it to fight against Li Zhan, his chances of winning would increase greatly.    

"Of course. The power of the lightning tribulation is the creation of the Heavenly Dao, and it is extremely miraculous. Its power is world-shocking. You have only refined a trace of the power of the lightning tribulation, but it has already increased his strength by several times. It is enough to defeat Li Zhan and defeat him."    

Xiluo said indifferently with a face full of confidence.    

The power of the lightning tribulation was extremely strong. Even if it was just a trace, it was still the creation of the Heaven and Earth. It was the birth of the Heavenly Dao. Being able to use the body to forcefully receive it and absorb a trace of it to refine it into one's own power was already a great opportunity.    

If Chen Xiao's physique was not extraordinary and he had cultivated the Chaotic Lightning Art, he would have needed all three of his clones.    

Otherwise, if an ordinary immortal-level had used their body to receive it, they would have long been hacked into ashes, leaving nothing behind.    

Otherwise, Xi Luo would not have asked Chen Xiao to take such a risk. He was just joking with his own life.    

"Mm, I think it's fine." Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.    

"So, you should take some risks. The rewards are great." Xi Luo added.    

Chen Xiao's face stiffened. He was a little embarrassed. He sighed and said, "You can tell me in advance next time, okay?"    

When Xi Luo heard this, he knew that the other party had compromised. He smiled and said, "Alright, I got it."    

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly. He didn't know if the other party had heard it or not. He had to be more careful in the future.    

He stood up and walked out of the secret room. After staying in the secret room for a long time, he had to go out to breathe some fresh air.    

As soon as he left the secret room, he saw Yue Yao, who was leaning on a chair and flipping through a book. She had a leisurely expression on her face, and her brows were relaxed. Her eyes were filled with happiness.    

Chen Xiao's face bloomed with a smile. With a flash, he hugged her from behind.    

Yue Yao trembled in fear and cried out in alarm. She felt an incomparably familiar aura, and only then did she put down her guard.    

"Husband, you scared me. My heart is about to jump out."    

Yue Yao pouted and rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao laughed out loud, "You were scared by this. There's even more terrifying things. Do you want to try?"    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao opened his wolf claws and was about to make a move on Yue Yao.    

Yue Yao gasped heavily, her face flushed red. She was drunk and lost herself in it.    

Just like that, after a round of warmth, Yue Yao's face was flushed red. She looked at Chen Xiao with eyes that seemed to be able to suffocate people to death.    

Chen Xiao just hugged Yue Yao like this. Although he didn't say anything, it was already more than a thousand words.    

After a while, Yue Yao grabbed Chen Xiao's restless hand and asked with concern, "Husband, are your injuries healed?"    

Chen Xiao smiled evilly, "What do you think?"    

Yue Yao's beautiful face turned red, and she didn't dare to speak anymore. She was extremely shy and beautiful.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao swallowed his saliva and was about to lose control.    

Suddenly, Yue Yao lightly patted her forehead and said, "Aiya, I almost forgot about the proper business after playing around."    

"Proper business? What business?" Chen Xiao asked.    

Yue Yao struggled to get up from Chen Xiao's embrace and quickly tidied up her clothes before saying, "Husband, during the period of time when you were in closed-door cultivation, many cultivators came to visit. Quite a few of them have some background, and they even specially left a letter of invitation for you to see."    

"A letter of invitation?" Chen Xiao frowned, and he felt a little irritated for no reason.    

This kind of thing was something he hated the most, but with Yue Yao and the other girls helping him to share the burden, it was much easier.    

"Yes, that's it."    

As Yue Yao spoke, she waved her right hand, and dozens of jade slips of hundreds of pieces appeared in front of Chen Xiao, floating in the air.    

Chen Xiao was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this. He was dumbstruck and asked, "So many jade slips?"    

Yue Yao nodded her head seriously and said, "Yes, this is the result of my husband's selection. Cultivators with weak strength and backgrounds came to visit, but they were all brushed off. They didn't even have the chance to leave behind a jade slip. Otherwise, it would be much more than this."    

After Chen Xiao heard this, he was incomparably speechless. He suddenly understood why the Duke of Zijin would seclude himself to cultivate and refuse visitors.    

With the Duke of Zijin's strength and status, once he showed himself, the doors of the Purple Hall would probably be broken by him.    

Chen Xiao glanced at the jade slips and said with a dark face, "Pick some of the more important ones. You can deal with the rest."    

Yue Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment. She waved her hand lightly and said, "Alright, then that's all."    

As she spoke, she put away more than half of the jade slips. There were still ten jade slips floating in the air.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at them and picked two of them. Then, he waved his hand and grabbed them.    

When Yue Yao saw this, she smiled and said, "Brother Qin and Gu Li left these two invitation cards. I put them in front."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao became interested. After so many years, Qin Daoyuan's strength should have increased by a level.    

And Gu Li was also an old acquaintance. He didn't forget about him.    

He pointed with his right hand, and a voice came out from the jade slip. Chen Xiao listened to it with great interest. His eyes were filled with nostalgia as he immersed himself in his memories.    

Back then, if it wasn't for Qin Daoyuan and Gu Li's help, he might not have been able to reach this day. At least, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.    

Chen Xiao was definitely not an ungrateful person. He still remembered the Qin and Gu clans. Yueyao and Xiaolong were very clear about this. It was reasonable for him to be partial and take care of these two clans.    

Seeing this, Yueyao said, "Although you weren't in Violet Cloud City these years, you told us to help the Qin and Gu clans as much as we could. Now, these two clans are not bad. They can be considered prosperous for a time. Brother Qin has already broken through to the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm and has taken over the position of the Qin Clan's Patriarch. Gu Li is almost there."    

Chen Xiao heard this and smiled happily. "Brother Qin has also broken through to the peak of the Tribulation Immortal Realm and took over the position of the Patriarch? That's great, that's great."    

"Yes, Patriarch Qin made this decision decades ago. No one objected," Yueyao said.    

Chen Xiao nodded. Of course, he knew that Qin Daoyuan's strength was one thing, and the other thing was to maintain his relationship with him.    

Otherwise, with Qin Daoyuan's identity as a fourth-generation disciple, it wouldn't be so easy for him to smoothly take over the Qin Clan.    

Every bite and every drop of water had their own destiny. Everything was a good fortune.    

Back then, if it wasn't for Qin Daoyuan's help, Chen Xiao would not have been able to rise up quickly. Without his rise, Qin Daoyuan would not have been able to smoothly take over the Qin Clan. It was all a cause and effect.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao smiled.
