Peerless War God

Although the Tribulation Transcender had promised him that nothing would happen, Xiao Anhe’s heart was pounding. He knew very well that the other party’s verbal promise was not credible.    

If it came to a critical moment of life and death, the other party would definitely betray him without hesitation and use him as a scapegoat.    

It was just like how he had killed his personal maid. It was cruel and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.    

Thinking of this, Xiao Anhe’s heart was filled with bitterness. He knew that this was the price he had to pay.    

He swallowed hard, wanting to drive away the uneasiness in his heart.    

“I wonder why Your Excellency has come?”    

The masked male cultivator took out three storage rings made of black iron without a word and handed them to Xiao Anhe. He said coldly, “This batch of goods is almost complete. Quickly arrange for the goods to be shipped to Baishi City. I’ll send someone to pick them up there.”    

“Baishi City? Same old rules?” Xiao Anhe asked.    

“Same old rules. Everything will be the same.”    

“This… Your Excellency, I’ve been feeling a little restless recently. Why don’t we take a break or change the route?” Xiao Anhe suggested.    

Hearing this, the masked male cultivator’s eyes instantly turned cold. He glared at him angrily and said, “Keep your mouth shut. Just do as I say. If you’re unwilling to do it, I can change people.”    

Change people?    

Hearing these two words, Xiao Anhe broke out in a cold sweat.    

He was not stupid. He naturally knew the weight of the word substitution. Substituting meant silencing. At that time, he would not even have the chance to be a scapegoat.    

Xiao An and was so scared that his legs were trembling. He snatched the ground with his head and said, "Sir, please don't be angry. I will do as you say."    

"That's good. There will be rewards after the matter is done. This is your share from last time."    

As he spoke, the masked man took out a storage ring and threw it to Xiao Anhe. The ring rolled on the ground and made a clattering sound. It stopped in front of Xiao Anhe.    

Xiao Anhe pounced on it like a dog and held the ring tightly in his hand. He checked it.    

After confirming that there was no mistake, he hurriedly looked at the masked man and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you. I will be loyal and do my job well."    

The masked man laughed when he saw Xiao Anhe's funny look.    

He touched Xiao Anhe's face and patted it twice. He scolded, "You are really like a dog."    

Xiao Anhe hurriedly agreed, "Sir, I am your dog. A loyal dog."    

He licked his face and looked very shameless, but it made the masked man very satisfied.    

"Very good. You are really a good dog. Do your job well."    

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, sir."    

Xiao Anhe lowered his head and hurriedly agreed. When he raised his head, the masked man had already disappeared and left.    

Seeing this, Xiao Anhe's body went limp and he sat on the ground. He wiped the sweat off his face and then heaved a sigh of relief.    

Just now, he had just walked through the gates of hell. The masked male cultivator had given him a great shock. If he was not careful, he would have been killed by the other party. Killing someone to silence them was just like the maid from before.    

She looked at the corpse of the maid on the ground and sighed. It was quite a sad and miserable feeling.    

“Don’t blame me. I didn’t kill you. If you want to blame someone, blame the Xiao Clan’s Tribulation Transcender. He killed you, and it has nothing to do with me.”    

Xiao Anhe muttered in a low voice, only hoping to have a peace of mind.    

He sighed heavily. He knew that if he wanted to change his fate, he could only become stronger and break through to the Tribulation Transcender realm. Otherwise, he would forever be at the mercy of others.    

“Strengthen. I must break through to the Tribulation Transcender Realm. It is worth it to pay any price for it.”    

Xiao Anhe thought to himself.    

After a moment, he calmed down and silently put away the corpse of the maid on the ground into his ring.    

After a pause, he casually formed a hand seal, and three transmission talismans flew out.    

Not long after, three figures came from afar and landed steadily in front of Xiao Anhe.    

These three Xiao Clan disciples were all young and had decent cultivations. The two of them were at the early stage of the Prominent Divine stage, and one of them was at the middle stage of the Prominent Divine stage. They were full of vigor and were full of fighting spirit.    

Seeing Xiao Anhe call the three of them over, their eyes all lit up.    

“Chief, there’s someone alive?” One of them asked eagerly.    

Xiao Anhe nodded expressionlessly. He took out the three black metal rings that the Xiao Clan’s Tribulation Transcenders had given him and threw them to the three of them.    

The three people checked the rings in their hands and confirmed that there was no mistake. Then, they looked at Xiao An and.    

“Chief, where’s the money? We already agreed to pay half of the money in advance.”    

A Xiao family disciple held his head up and said with some dissatisfaction.    

Xiao Anhe’s face turned gloomy. “Half of the money can be paid in advance, but we must depart immediately. We can’t delay at all.”    

“This…”    

One of the Xiao family disciples had a bad premonition in his heart.    

When Xiao Anhe saw this, he was a little impatient and said, “Do you want to do it or not?”    

His tone was full of threat. This was not a choice, but a must. If he dared to answer no, the three Xiao family disciples present clearly knew what would happen to him.    

“Yes, of course, we will do it. We will follow the same old route and go to Baishi City.”    

“Yes.”    

“Chief, let me say something more. Why are you in such a hurry to depart this time? Could it be that something has happened? Recently, the limelight seems to be a little tight, and the investigation is especially strict.”    

One of the Xiao family disciples said with some worry.    

When Xiao Anhe heard this, he cursed loudly and said, “Humph, there is no risk in doing anything. You want to get benefits, but you also want to be safe. Are you worthy? Since you are on this boat, there is no turning back. Don’t you know that?”    

The three Xiao family disciples looked at each other. Their faces were gloomy like water, and they all nodded.    

“Chief is right. We will depart immediately.”    

“Very good. I wish you all the best. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”    

“Yes.”    

After that, the three of them didn’t say anything else. They put on black cloaks and disguised themselves, and then they quickly rushed out of the cabin. After glancing at the side of the ship, they jumped into the water with three plopping sounds, and then they moved out of the Skysea Island.    

At practically the exact same time, behind an inconspicuous cloud in the sky above the Skysea Island, two pairs of eyes were hidden, and they were coldly watching everything.    

Fu Xue looked down from above, and he could be said to have seen everything, and he didn’t miss a single detail.    

“Heh, you say, why did they do this? They obviously obtained much more than ordinary cultivators, yet they’re still unsatisfied.”    

Fu Xue spoke with slight anger.    

When Zuo Zhao saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said indifferently, “They’re greedy enough, and greed is the original sin of all humans. They always think that they deserve to obtain more and better things, yet they don’t know that if there’s no one who’s tall enough to support them, then they’re actually nothing.”    

“Greedy? Sigh, that’s right. Humans are always greedy, but why is it like this?”    

Fu Xue muttered, and he fell into a great bewilderment for a time.    

Zuo Zhao tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then he said, “Greed is engraved in the hearts of all humans, and it’s impossible to get rid of it. Actually, it’s nothing. Everyone is greedy, but since they’re greedy, then there’s a person who’s rebellious, and he’s truly damnable.”    

Hearing this, Fu Xue smiled sweetly.
