Peerless War God

He knew that once the Third Prince's scheme succeeded, who knew how many people would die, especially Jingbian City, which would be in great danger.    

However, it seemed that it was not the Third Prince's fault. The one who caused trouble was the Black Heavens Divine Sect, and the one who helped the tyrant ignore it was Zhan Tian City. If they really did not do anything to help the Black Heavens Divine Sect continue to grow, it would be a disaster.    

"Next, I will have to rely on you, Chen Xiao. After this matter is done, I will definitely reward you." The Third Prince cupped his fists and said sincerely.    

"Since I have promised you, I will accompany you to the end. I will not go back on my word." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.    

"Alright, I knew I did not misjudge you."    

"En."    

Almost at the same time, a haze that seemed like a storm was floating in the sky above Jingbian City. It was so heavy that people could barely breathe.    

On top of the city wall, a few patrolling guards were whispering to each other.    

"Sigh, our salary this month has actually dropped again. We don't even have a few pieces of immortal jade, and now it's even worse."    

One of the guards couldn't help but complain.    

"Yeah, ever since the Third Prince came, our salary has dropped again and again. Now, it's even less than half of what it was before. It's too harsh. What does the Third Prince mean by this?"    

Another guard said unhappily.    

Another guard sighed and said, “I thought that Third Prince would be a good person and kill Fan Ren to clean up the corruption in the border city, but who would have thought that our treatment is worse than before. What do you think this is called?”    

“Hehe, I heard that Third Prince’s Shadow Guard took over Fan Hou’s mansion, but they got a lot of benefits. There are also some big and small families. Where did all these treasures go?”    

A guard said in a strange tone, implying something.    

“Cheh, do you even need to guess? They must have gone into Third Prince’s own pocket. I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot. Using a righteous name to do something dirty and shameful. Hehe.”    

A guard said with a cold smile.    

The guard at the side did not believe it, “Is that possible? That’s Third Prince. It’s said that Third Prince is very wise and even killed Fan Ren. He’s a good person.”    

“Cheh, what do you know? These are all just rumors. It’s unbelievable.”    

“Is that so? Third Prince is actually such a hypocrite. It’s too unbelievable.”    

“One knows a person’s face but not their heart. The heart is in the stomach. Who knows? I’ve never seen Third Prince before. Who knows what kind of person he is. However, we lost half of the immortal jade we got. This can’t be faked.”    

“Yes.”    

The group of guards gathered together and whispered to each other. The sounds of discussion continued, and the criticism of the Third Prince became more and more.    

At this time, a guard captain walked over and scolded, “What are you all talking about? Be careful that I will tear your mouths apart. Go and patrol.”    

The captain’s eyes were extremely frightening, and they were completely red. It was as if he was about to eat someone.    

The guards were shocked and all shut up, not daring to speak again.    

“Yes, understood, captain.”    

“Go.”    

“Yes, yes, yes.”    

Suddenly, the guards scattered.    

At the same time, at the top of the forest outside the city, two figures were coldly looking down at the entire Jingbian City. Their eyes were gloomy as they stared at the city.    

A protector in black clothes was completely wrapped up, only revealing a pair of strange eyes that were glowing with green light.    

“I heard that the Third Prince used the chance of killing Fan Ren to kill your daughter, Li Ping’er. His head was severed, and you were actually able to endure it?”    

The black-clothed protector looked coldly at Li Zhan and questioned.    

It turned out that these two people were the black-clothed protector and Li Zhan, conspiring something.    

Li Zhan’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the black-clothed protector and scolded, “How noisy. Didn’t you fail as well? You actually failed to kill this guy called Blood Hand. You’re really useless.”    

The two of them opposed each other and ridiculed each other. They had no intention of giving in at all, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.    

The black-robed Protector sneered and said, “The Soul Devouring Demon Bug failed to attack. This person is not simple. He is not as easy to deal with as he appears. He is very strange.”    

Hearing this, Li Zhan rolled his eyes. “It’s good that you know. This Blood Hand is not easy to deal with, and he is inseparable from the Third Prince. You want me to attack? Ridiculous.”    

Li Ping’er’s death had indeed made Li Zhan extremely furious, but he had not reached the point where he would fight to the death with the Third Prince.    

If he was really impulsive and did not hold back, then the one who would benefit from it would be the black-robed Protector. At that time, he would have lost both his wife and his soldiers. It would be a huge loss.    

Li Zhan was not stupid. He would not do such a thing.    

“Heh, so you don’t want to take revenge for Li Ping’er? Li Zhan, when have you become so timid?”    

The black-robed Protector said provocatively.    

Li Zhan glared at him and said coldly, “No matter how much you provoke me, it is useless. If I am not completely confident, I will not easily attack. Don’t forget, we are just verbal agreements. There is no binding. You don’t have to worry about what I want to do.”    

Li Zhan was very unyielding and retorted.    

If he wanted to use the death of Li Ping’er to force him to attack, he was still too tender. He was not that stupid.    

Moreover, he had many daughters, and Li Ping’er was not outstanding. It was not a big deal if she died.    

Li Zhan did not care whether he was cold or heartless. He only cared about himself the most.    

“Tsk tsk, Li Zhan, you are really cold and heartless. Today, I have seen it for myself.”    

The black-clothed Protector sneered.    

Li Zhan frowned and glanced at him, feeling slightly impatient.    

“So, you invited me here today to provoke me and anger me?”    

The black-clothed Protector shook his head and asked, “What do you think about this Jingbian City? Can you take it down?”    

Hearing this, Li Zhan was stunned. He widened his eyes and shouted, “Are you crazy? Are you really going to attack Jingbian City? Hmph, if I don’t agree, are you stupid? Do you know that this is a trap? Are you going to step on it?”    

“Whether it’s a trap or not, you’ll know after you step on it.” The black-clothed Protector sneered.    

“Are you really crazy? Has the Black Sky Divine Cult prepared to fight against the Wushuang Dynasty?”    

Li Zhan asked.    

The black-clothed Protector sighed and said lightly, “Yes, it’s been two hundred years, and we have almost finished preparing. It’s all thanks to you that we can grow so brazenly. The real chaos is about to begin. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”    

“You, are you crazy?”    

Li Zhan felt a little perturbed. For the first time, he felt that the situation was gradually leaving his control and developing in an unpredictable direction.    

“No, I’m not crazy.”    

The black-robed protector smiled widely.
