Peerless War God

Looking at the last five steps, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He had no idea that even if he used the power of annihilation, he wouldn't be able to make it to the island. He was rather disappointed.    

But Chen Xiao did not give up just like that. He took another step forward and forcefully took the next step.    

On the 96th step, there were even more cracks on the body of consciousness. However, it had yet to reach the degree of dissipation. There was still a chance.    

But, this chance, as the destructive force in Chen Xiao's body was used up, instantly disappeared. Without the support of the destructive power, the pressure from heaven and earth shattered Chen Xiao's body of consciousness in the blink of an eye.    

His vision blurred, and his reformed consciousness appeared outside the bronze door.    

Chen Xiao was a little helpless, he did not expect that in the end, he would actually fail because he did not have the power of destruction. Otherwise, he felt that if he continued to persevere, he would still have a good chance of entering the sky island.    

However, it was not like Chen Xiao did not reap any benefits. Based on the situation this time, as long as he advanced to the Divine level, he would have the power to enter the Sky Island.    

Without the destructive power in his body, Chen Xiao instantly entered the third level of Tower of Void and started to replenish his destructive power …    

Time passed very quickly, and when Chen Xiao had only recovered more than half of his destructive power, he retreated just because of Xiao Miao. It turned out that the sky had already darkened and the maid had already prepared dinner, waiting for him and Xiao Miao to go eat.    

After dinner, Bai Lan coincidentally sent someone to deliver cultivation ingredients, for Chen Xiao this was just nice …    

Deep in the night, Chen Xiao waited for Xiao Miao to fall asleep before he entered his cultivation. But after an entire night had passed, Chen Xiao still had not sensed anyone secretly monitoring him …    

For the next ten days, Chen Xiao stayed in the courtyard to cultivate. Bai Lan would get people to send cultivation ingredients over every two days, but what made Chen Xiao helpless was that he was unable to break through to Nine Star Martial Saint. Clearly, the energy was sufficient for the breakthrough, but there was no way for it to break through. It seemed to be missing an opportunity.    

Did he have to find an ancient ruin to train it?    

Chen Xiao couldn't help but think this.    

At this time, outside the courtyard, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Chen Xiao turned to look at the door, only to see Hai Lanxin anxiously running in.    

"Xiao Chen, come with me quickly. The empress is in trouble." said anxiously when he saw Chen Xiao.    

Something had happened to Bai Lan!?    

Chen Xiao looked at Hai Lanxin in astonishment. As the Sea Clan Empress, Bai Lan was perfectly fine.    

"What happened?" Chen Xiao asked.    

But Hai Lanxin did not have any thoughts of explaining to Chen Xiao. She walked over and pulled Chen Xiao away, "Now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and come with me."    

Seeing Hai Lanxin being so anxious, Chen Xiao did not ask anymore, and shouted to Xiao Miao at the side, causing the little girl to immediately jump on his shoulder, and walk out together with him.    

After getting on the carriage, the coachman once again whipped the carriage and drove it away.    

"What exactly is going on? Everything is fine, why did something happen to the empress? " Chen Xiao asked again. However, what surprised him was that Hai Lanxin who had entered the carriage did not have any expression of anxiety, but only became more solemn.    

Was there a situation?    

"Sister Bai Lan was stabbed." Hai Lanxin said. These words confused Chen Xiao, not because he was assassinated, but because Hai Lanxin's performance did not make him understand.    

"Is the Queen alright? Where's the assassin? " Chen Xiao continued to ask.    

Hai Lanxin shook her head slightly. "Sister Bai Lan is fine, but I didn't manage to catch the assassin. But the appearance of the assassin is not a good thing for the Haihuang Sect. "    

The meaning of these words, Chen Xiao only needed a moment to think before understanding. An assassin could sneak into the Haihuang Sect and assassinate Bai Lan. Either the assassin was very strong, or there was a spy in the Haihuang Sect to help them. However, these two points weren't too important. After all, there were so many people in a single sect. It was impossible for them to not have spies from other sects.    

The real problem was that there was no Ocean Emperor present in the Haihuang Sect.    

The fact that the Queen had been assassinated was an enormous matter for the Haihuang Sect! This must have alarmed the various forces in the sea! At that time, the Ocean Emperor would have to take charge of the situation.    

To put it bluntly, for someone to come running over and kill your wife, as a man, you have to stand out no matter what, no?    

Then, could the Ocean Emperor come out now? The answer was naturally no.    

"So what does the empress intend to do now?" Chen Xiao's expression was also solemn. He never thought that the situation of the Seafolk would change so quickly. An assassin was sufficient to cause the matter to develop uncontrollably.    

"Now, Sister Bai Lan naturally has to stand out and take charge of the situation. However, with just her alone, it would not be easy for her to control the other Sea Tribes. After all, Sister Bai Lan is a human. " Hai Lanxin's tone was somewhat helpless.    

Even though Bai Lan was the Queen of the Sea Clan, she had a noble identity. If something really did happen, then her words would not be as useful as the Grand Princess Hai Qiu at all.    

"What do you need me to do?" Chen Xiao continued to ask.    

Hai Lanxin shook his head once again, "I don't need you to do anything at the moment. But in order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, you should come over to help. If anything happens, you can help Sister Bai Lan. "    

In truth, Hai Lanxin coming over to find Chen Xiao was entirely her own idea. Chen Xiao's strength was not bad, but in Bai Lan's opinion, in the current situation, it was not of much help.    

Chen Xiao nodded and did not say anymore. But he knew clearly in his heart that with just his strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to help Bai Lan control the situation. He was also a human, and in fact, an unfamiliar human to the Haihuang Sect. His words could not even compare to Bai Lan's.    

But it wasn't that Chen Xiao couldn't help Bai Lan. If things went wrong, he still had the Ocean Emperor Token …    

The horse carriage quickly arrived at the teleportation formation of Seaworld City and followed them to the outskirts of the Imperial City. The number of guards at the city gate had increased by an entire two times compared to the last time Chen Xiao had come. If one looked carefully, Chen Xiao would realize that there were a few people wearing different kinds of armor, which should be the people from other forces.    

When the guards saw that it was Hai Lanxin, they carefully checked and then allowed him to enter. Especially Chen Xiao, if Hai Lanxin had not repeatedly guaranteed that he was invited by the empress, the guard would not have allowed him to enter.    

After entering the Imperial City with great difficulty, the carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace. At the entrance of the Imperial Palace, there was another round of inspection before he finally entered. After that, Hai Lanxin did not bring Chen Xiao to Bai Lan's palace, but instead, headed in another direction. Not long later, Chen Xiao sensed where Hai Lanxin was bringing him to.    

It was actually the Haihuang Sect's Great Assembly Hall!
