Peerless War God

After listening to the conversation, Zuo Zhao completely understood. Marquis Zi Jin's plan was to watch the fire from the sidelines and wait for the enemy to be exhausted. It was truly a brilliant plan.    

He could take him out and also get the greatest benefit. He could get more than he wanted.    

In this way, Yin Yang Palace would really be unable to hold on. When the time came, Purple Cloud City would make a move and save Dao Venerate Pure Yang. Naturally, the other party would return the favor and completely rely on Purple Cloud City.    

By then, Purple Cloud City would have another immortal-level expert. His strength would be greatly enhanced.    

However, there was a big problem. Would Yin Yang Palace really be so weak that they would be easily defeated by the demonic cultivators of the Black Sky Divine Cult?    

"Captain, can Yin Yang Palace last until the end?"    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know. If you ask me, I will ask someone else. I only hope that Dao Venerate Pure Yang can hold on for a while longer and consume more of the Black Sky Divine Cult's trump cards. It will be good for us to gather more information and prepare for the upcoming battle."    

"That's the only way." Zuo Zhao's expression darkened slightly, and he was a little worried.    

At this moment, two shocking rays of light rushed over from the horizon. They were aggressive and quickly arrived outside of the Fu Family City, blocked by the formation light barrier.    

"Who are you? Stop. This is a heavily guarded place of the Fu Family City. You are not allowed to enter. Leave quickly."    

When the guards of the Fu Family City saw this, they immediately went up to welcome them nervously.    

The newcomers were the Gu siblings, Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng. The two of them had received the news and rushed back immediately.    

"I am Gu Feng, a Tribulation Transcender from the Purple Cloud City. I have come to seek Lord Chen Xiao. Please inform him."    

Gu Feng said with a heavy tone.    

The guard was shocked when he heard this, "Alright, please wait for a moment."    

However, before he could go and inform Chen Xiao, a voice sounded, "Let them pass."    

"Yes."    

The guard immediately opened the entrance of the formation and no longer stopped them.    

Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue looked at each other with a solemn expression. They flew into the Fu Family City and headed straight for the back mountain.    

Soon, the two of them saw Chen Xiao and Zuo Zhao standing by the cliff. Zuo Zhao was waving at them, while Chen Xiao was smiling at them.    

"Greetings, Captain."    

"Greetings, Captain."    

The two of them accelerated and rushed forward. They knelt down on one knee, causing Chen Xiao to be stunned. This was a rare sight.    

"What are you doing? Get up."    

Gu Lan Yue said anxiously, "I know this request is a bit excessive, but I can't help but ask. I beg the Captain to save the Sky River City."    

"I beg the Captain to save the Sky River City," Gu Feng also said with a solemn expression.    

"Is... is the situation so bad?" Zuo Zhao asked after being stunned for a moment.    

Even Chen Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect the two of them to be so determined. They had directly knelt down and begged. They had already given up everything for the safety of the Sky River City.    

Gu Lan Yue said with an uncomfortable expression, "According to the information we have, two Immortal level experts have appeared outside of the Sky River City. Although the Patriarch is strong, I'm afraid he won't be a match for them. If this continues, we will be in great danger."    

Two versus one, that was indeed a precarious situation.    

Although Gu Chang Sheng had extraordinary strength, he was facing two people at the same time, so he had no chance of winning.    

This was something that Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue could see very clearly. That was why they had come to Chen Xiao in such a hurry to ask for help.    

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, but did not agree. "You should know that if I were to make a move, it would require a high price. Seeing that you two are my subordinates, I can help you protect your family. As for saving the Sky River City, there's no need to mention it again."    

For him, this was also a great risk, and it was a great act of benevolence.    

It could be said that there was nothing wrong with it.    

Chen Xiao was a human, so he would not save people for no reason. Moreover, the risk was extremely great. For the sake of Gu Feng and Gu Lan Yue, saving their family was already the limit.    

Since he had already said this much, Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng did not know what was good for them. After thinking for a moment, they immediately responded.    

"Thank you, Captain, for your righteousness. However, the Patriarch's intention is to ask you to save the Sky River City. Please think about it carefully. The Patriarch has said that the Captain can try to satisfy all of your requests."    

Seeing the opportunity, Gu Lan Yue said in a low voice, revealing her conditions.    

It had to be said that in order to save the Sky River City, Gu Chang Sheng had put in a lot of effort. He had the courage to make a move, and he was very bold.    

"Oh, did Gu Chang Sheng really say that?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.    

"Yes, this is the Patriarch's personal jade slip. Please take a look at it." At this time, Gu Lan Yue took out a jade slip and handed it over.    

Chen Xiao glanced at it and thought for a moment. It was indeed as Gu Lan Yue had said. Gu Chang Sheng had put in a great deal of effort, and he was willing to pay any price to protect the Sky River City.    

Unlike the Pure Yang Lord, his determination was very great, and he was willing to pay a great price.    

Indeed, people were different.    

"But Big Brother Zi Jing said that he wouldn't interfere with the matters of the Sky River City." Chen Xiao changed the topic and said.    

When the two of them saw this, their faces revealed a miserable expression. They lowered their heads and heavily kowtowed to the ground, and their heads made a muffled sound.    

"I beg the captain to make a move. I, the Gu Clan, have hundreds of thousands of people, and I will never forget your great kindness."    

Gu Lan Yue pleaded.    

"If the captain is willing to make a move, the Patriarch is willing to offer up all the treasures in the city. I only hope to protect the Sky River City and the people in the city."    

Gu Feng lay on the ground and said in a sorrowful voice.    

"This..." Zuo Zhao's face was solemn as he looked at this scene.    

He looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, then looked at Chen Xiao, and he was speechless for a moment.    

Without a doubt, this decision was incomparably difficult, and it was especially dangerous for anyone, especially for an immortal-level battle. A slight carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.    

Although in terms of emotion, Zuo Zhao wanted Chen Xiao to take action, he could not say a single word.    

Chen Xiao hesitated for a long time. After a moment, he replied, "Alright."    

Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng were ecstatic. "Thank you, Captain."    

"We will never forget your kindness."    

They knew that other than Chen Xiao, there was no other Almighty in the Immortal Realm who would interfere in this matter. It could be said that Chen Xiao was the last life-saving straw in the Sky River City.    

Other than that, there was nothing else.    

"Alright, get up. Remember your promise. I will take all the treasures in the city. Otherwise, it will be a loss."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.    

Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The price they had paid this time was too great. However, compared to protecting the Sky River City and the many members of the Gu Clan in the city, the worldly possessions were nothing.    

After all, if the treasures and money were gone, they could still earn more. But if the people were gone, there was nothing left.    

"Since that's the case, it's better to leave earlier than later. Let's go. Otherwise, if we go too late, all of us will die."    

Chen Xiao said coldly. He got up and rushed out of the Fu Family City.    

"Chen Xiao, you stay in the Fu Family City. If there is any movement, immediately report it to me."    

"Yes, Captain." Zuo Zhao received the order and said.    

When Gu Lan Yue and Gu Feng saw this, they immediately followed him with excited faces without saying a word.
