Peerless War God

"This..."    

The sudden turn of events caused Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng to be stunned, not knowing what had happened.    

Of course, they knew that Chen Xiao would never speak carelessly.    

Hearing that, the expressions of Gu Zhong Bei and the other two changed, and they quickly retreated, sneering.    

"You're called Chen Yao, right? How did you find the loophole?"    

Gu Zhong Bei did not pretend anymore and directly expressed his position. He questioned sternly, and at the same time, a deep doubt arose in his heart. How did the other party find it?    

However, since things had already come to this, he had no choice but to shoot the arrow.    

He was ready to fight a big battle. Coincidentally, Gu Zhong Bei had long been prepared for this.    

Chen Xiao smiled, and he found it very comical, because the other party's lie was too fake, and it was too easy to be exposed.    

"I used my Spiritual Sense to check. There are no other cultivators of the Gu Clan in the direction you said."    

"This..."    

Hearing that, Gu Zhong Bei's pupils shrank, and he became extremely vigilant, full of wariness.    

Chen Xiao's words were a little frightening. He couldn't even be sure if what the other party said was true or not. He was just bluffing him. For a moment, Gu Zhong Bei's face turned ashen, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.    

After all, the place they were standing on was still over a hundred miles away from the stronghold he had spoken of. Even a Tribulation Transcender wouldn't be able to accurately investigate such a long distance with his Spiritual Sense. At most, he could only vaguely investigate a general situation.    

That was why he dared to say such a thing.    

"Are you trying to scare me?" Gu Zhongbei said angrily.    

Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng were both shocked and started to question him, "Uncle Zhongbei, what exactly is going on? Is... Is what he said true?"    

"There is no stronghold outside the city. Uncle Zhongbei, are you lying? Why did you do this?"    

Gu Feng's eyes were red as he questioned him sternly.    

He felt a deep sense of betrayal and mockery. He did not doubt Gu Zhongbei at all, and even treated him as an elder. However, he did not expect that the true trust he had in him would be betrayed.    

He believed in Chen Xiao's words without a doubt. He trusted Chen Xiao's strength even more.    

Chen Xiao was an Immortal Realm expert who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Patriarch, Gu Changsheng. How could he speak nonsense?    

Seeing that his actions had been exposed, Gu Zhongbei did not bother to disguise himself anymore. He laughed wildly and glared at Chen Xiao. He scolded, "You are Chen Yao, right? I will remember your name. I didn't expect to underestimate you. I don't know how you did it. Could it be that you are a cultivator who specializes in divine sense detection? No matter, this is not important anymore. Today, all three of you will die here. Form the formation."    

"Yes."    

"Yes."    

Gu Zhongbei's two subordinates responded in unison. Then, they quickly retreated and opened up a distance between them and Chen Xiao. They stood in the air with Gu Zhongbei, and they faintly surrounded the three of them.    

The two of them quickly formed a seal and unleashed a series of talisman seals. Their auras rose steadily as they slammed their palms into the ground.    

"Buzz."    

With a loud sound, the earth dragon seemed to have awakened. The formation that had been lying in ambush underground was activated by Gu Zhongbei with the formation talisman in his hand.    

The golden Sword Dao Killing Formation was connected into a large area. It was like a terrifying cage as it rushed towards them, trapping Chen Xiao and the other two in it like a turtle in a jar.    

Then, Gu Zhongbei's figure continued to rise upwards. His expression was extremely arrogant. His eyes were pitch-black and suffused with a terrifying killing intent. His aura had also reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm at this moment, which was very shocking.    

After all, he was only at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm just a moment ago, but he had actually leaped to the peak of the Tribulation Transcender realm in an instant.    

How did he do it?    

"What a familiar Yin Qi? Is it the Evil Pill from the Darkness Shrine again?"    

Chen Xiao looked at all of this and muttered to himself. He was not moved at all.    

Gu Lan Yue's heart felt like it was bleeding. Her eyes were bloodshot. She was furious and sad at the same time. "Uncle Zhong Bei, even you have colluded with the Black Sky Divine Sect? Why did you betray your family? You have watched me grow up. Are you really willing to make a move?"    

Gu Feng's mind was in a mess. He was very indignant. "Why? Gu Zhongbei, why did you betray your family? Tell me why."    

The two of them stood where they were and did not immediately make a move. They allowed the Sword Dao Killing Formation to form and attack them without moving.    

Compared to the threat of the ambush, they wanted to know why Gu Zhongbei had betrayed them.    

They were extremely depressed, and they felt extremely pained. They wanted to find out the reason.    

After all, Gu Zhongbei was an early-stage Tribulation Transcender cultivator. The entire Gu Clan had spent a large amount of wealth and resources to nurture him, and it was only with this that Gu Zhongbei’s position in the clan wasn’t low, and he was respected by everyone. Such a senior cultivator had obtained a large amount of benefits from the clan.    

Logically speaking, such a person shouldn’t have betrayed them. The benefits he had obtained from the clan weren’t little at all.    

Gu Feng really couldn’t understand it, and he was unable to understand it at all. His head was on the verge of exploding.    

In midair, seeing that the three of them didn’t resist and had already fallen into the trap, Gu Zhongbei was greatly assured, and he became arrogant. He felt that victory was within his grasp, and he wasn’t in a hurry to make a move.    

He remained calm and looked down at the three of them from above, and he said, “You want to know why?”    

“Right, why did you betray the clan? The Patriarch has treated you well,” Gu Feng said angrily.    

“Uncle Zhongbei, it’s still not too late to turn back now. Tell us your difficulties, and the Patriarch will punish you lightly.”    

Gu Lany’s eyes were filled with helplessness, and she tried to persuade him.    

Gu Zhongbei’s expression dimmed, and he became firm once more. He shook his head and said, “It’s useless. It’s already too late. It’s impossible to turn back now.”    

Gu Lanyue looked melancholic and unwilling. “But why?”    

“Gu Zhongbei, you ungrateful traitor. The Patriarch has treated you well. Why did you do this?”    

Gu Feng couldn’t hold it in anymore and questioned loudly.    

These words infuriated Gu Zhongbei once again. He sneered and said, “Treated me well? Pui! These words are really laughable. I relied entirely on my own hard work, and I strived for it step by step. It has nothing to do with the family.”    

Gu Zhongbei’s tone was rather stiff, but he was also quite confident. He dared to say this because he really didn’t get any benefits at all.    

To be able to climb to this step today, he relied entirely on himself.    

“Shameless. Without the protection of the family, can you have today? How laughable. Gu Zhongbei, you are simply forgetting your ancestors. You are heartless and ungrateful.”    

Gu Feng cursed loudly, and his eyes were spitting fire.    

On the other hand, Gu Lanyue was calmer in her heart. Gu Zhongbei’s words also woke her up. She seemed to have understood something. As a dignified Tribulation Transcender, why did he end up in such a state?    

Just as Gu Zhongbei said, he was only a disciple of the Gu Clan’s side branch. He was extremely unremarkable in River Sky City, and he didn’t have any backers or many benefits.
