Peerless War God

"Is that possible? I can't imagine it at all."    

Fu Xue hugged her head with her hands, feeling extremely painful. To her, there was a kind of fear of the world collapsing.    

As a direct descendant of the Fu Clan, she had been told that Li Zhan was the guardian god of the Kui Nan Province, an unparalleled existence that was revered by countless cultivators.    

However, what happened in front of her made her have to think about the consequences if one of the masterminds was Li Zhan.    

She shook her head, feeling that her thoughts were extremely chaotic and tangled up.    

Chen Xiao turned around and looked into the distance. The clouds and mist were like a fairyland, but he did not have the mood to enjoy the scenery at all.    

"I also hope it's not him. If it's him, he would probably want to kill me."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, and a hint of fear actually appeared in his voice.    

Obviously, if Li Zhan really was the mastermind behind the scenes and ordered the Endless Sea to interfere and assassinate him, then it would be too terrifying. After all, Li Zhan was an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years. God knew how long he had planned for and how many contingency plans he had prepared.    

Just thinking about it made her hair stand on end and her blood run cold. It was too terrifying.    

At this time, Zuo Zhao pounded his fist and said uneasily, "Captain, if our guess is very likely, wouldn't we be alerting the enemy by doing this?"    

"That's right, Captain. Once Li Xuan and Li Haoran bring the news back, if Li Zhan is really the mastermind behind all this, he will definitely be on guard and be in a disadvantageous position."    

Fu Xueqing's cold eyes were filled with worry.    

Chen Xiao knew that their worries were reasonable, but he had his own considerations.    

"That's right. They will definitely alert the enemy. I want to see how they will deal with it." Chen Xiao sneered, as if he had already made up his mind.    

When Zuo Zhao and Fu Xueqing saw this, their eyes lit up, and they had a backbone.    

"Captain, what do you think? I will do as you say," Zuo Zhao said quickly.    

Fu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Zuo Zhao and said in a charming voice, "Captain, did you think of a countermeasure?"    

Chen Xiao smiled indifferently and said confidently, "The method is not difficult. It all depends on how Li Zhan will deal with Li Hongzhong."    

"What do you mean?" Zuo Zhao asked.    

"It's very simple. If the previous sneak attack and the matter of Long Palace's Ao Zhi and Ao Miao being related to Li Zhan, then the only clue we have now is Li Hongzhong. As long as Li Hongzhong dies, there will be no witnesses."    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, revealing the thoughts in his heart.    

When Fu Xueqing heard this, she thought about it and understood. "Captain, you mean that after Li Hongzhong returns and is killed, someone will definitely want to kill him to silence him and destroy the evidence. The person with the highest possibility is Li Zhan."    

"That's right," Chen Xiao said.    

"That's brilliant. Captain, this move is very likely to work." Fu Xue said excitedly.    

She knew that this was a good countermeasure for them.    

Zuo Zhao scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion. He asked, "Captain, what if the other party doesn't play by the rules and doesn't kill Li Hongzhong? Wouldn't our plan fail completely?"    

"Don't kill him? Heh, I already have a plan. If we don't kill him, we can at most put Li Hongzhong under house arrest and never show his face again. This way, we won't have to risk exposing ourselves. Although there is a certain risk, it is indeed feasible."    

Chen Xiao said slowly.    

Zuo Zhao was a little anxious and said, "Then what should we do? Captain."    

Fu Xue's eyes bulged and she glared at him. She said, "Why are you so anxious? Captain is not anxious. He must have a way to deal with it, right, Captain?"    

Hearing that, Zuo Zhao smacked his lips a few times and was speechless.    

He realized that he was indeed a little stupid and didn't know how to please the female cultivator. He was even worse than Fu Xue when it came to flattering people. Sigh, it was really infuriating to compare people.    

However, he wouldn't belittle himself because he had his own strengths.    

Forget it, it was better for him to listen to her peacefully.    

Chen Xiao nodded, and his mood immediately became much better. "Not bad. The method is very simple. We just have to make them unable to conceal themselves, and then we will break them down by themselves."    

"Oh, what method?" Zuo Zhao asked.    

"Right now, as long as we spread the news about Li Hongzhong and the Xiao Family, the entire Kui Nan Region will know about it. It will become a topic of conversation for people to talk about. At that time, there will be countless eyes staring at Li Hongzhong, and his every move will be known to everyone."    

Chen Xiao sneered. This was the most insidious part of his plan.    

Li Haoran and Li Xuan, who had left a long time ago, obviously did not expect this.    

As such, it would depend on how Li Zhan would react.    

Hearing that, Zuo Zhao's eyes lit up. "Great! Captain, this is interesting. Don't worry, I will send someone to dig Li Hongzhong out and spread the news."    

Fu Xue also nodded and said, "Captain, I know what to do."    

"Then do it. Li Zhan should be here soon." Chen Xiao muttered.    

"Yes."    

Zuo Zhao and Fu Xue cupped their fists and bowed, then quickly left.    

Watching the two of them leave, Chen Xiao's heart sank, and he started to feel uneasy.    

On the surface, it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the person behind the scenes, but at the same time, it also meant that the danger was getting closer and closer. The more he knew, the more dangerous it was.    

If the people from the Dark Shrine were willing to do anything to mess with him, it would definitely not benefit him at all.    

"Sigh, it's also because I'm not strong enough. If I were a little stronger, I wouldn't be afraid."    

Chen Xiao sighed in his heart.    

"You want to increase your strength?" Suddenly, Xi Luo, who was in his soul sea, spoke.    

"Oh, you have a way?" Chen Xiao was startled and asked anxiously.    

Xi Luo chuckled and said, "There is naturally a way. Don't you have a broken iron sword in your body? I guess that should be at least a Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure. Its material is strange. If you can fuse with the Thunder Spirit, with your current strength of Immortal Realm, you will be able to control it. It will also be of great help to you when you cross the Immortal Realm Tribulation in the future."    

"Fuse with the Thunder Spirit? Control the broken sword?"    

After Chen Xiao heard this, he was greatly moved. After all, he had already obtained this sword for a long time, but he had never been able to understand its mysteries. He was quite frustrated.    

Furthermore, that mysterious Thunder Spirit had always been hiding in the depths of his soul sea, accompanying the Tower of Void. It seemed to be recuperating and healing?    

Did the Thunder Spirit need to heal? He was a little puzzled.    

However, this was the first time he had seen such a spiritual creature. It was very strange.    

"Is this really possible? My Primordial Chaos Thunder Body is still shallow at the moment. Can I do it?"    

Xi Luo pondered for a moment and said, "It's a little difficult, but you can try. After all, your Thunder Body has also been cultivated for a period of time, and your improvement is very slow. If it doesn't work, you can wait until you enter the ninth level of the Divine Tower before making a decision."
