Peerless War God

"Have a good cultivation. If you have any problems, come to the Immortal King Throne to look for me."    

"Yes, Master." Chen Xiao lowered his head and replied.    

"En, I'm leaving."    

Han Lian didn't even turn his head as he turned around and left, his figure slowly disappearing.    

"Goodbye, Master." Chen Xiao hurriedly said.    

After Han Lian left for a long time, he finally came back to his senses and felt that it was unreal. He slapped his own face a few times, feeling a little dumbfounded.    

"I, I'm not dreaming, right? I actually took in an Immortal Realm expert as my master. Although I'm only an in-name disciple, that is an Immortal Realm expert. It's a terrifying existence that I can't even imagine. It's too unbelievable."    

For a long time, he was unable to calm down. He was very excited, as if he had really gotten lucky.    

However, he quickly calmed down. This place was dangerous, so it was better to leave first to avoid any more trouble.    

With such a huge commotion just now, and with the Devil Lord taking action, almost killing him, if he attracted other experts to spy on him, it would be hard to avoid unnecessary complications.    

"Leave first."    

Chen Xiao didn't say anything else and turned around to leave. His soul returned to his body first.    

After a while, Chen Xiao's soul returned to his body smoothly. He saw Xiluo standing on his shoulder, staring at him with a worried expression. Beside him, Zi Jinhou was watching him with a smile.    

He was startled and said, "Big Brother Zi Jing."    

The Duke of Zijin chuckled and said happily, "Looks like you succeeded. Very good. You have successfully condensed the Longevity Soul. That is the true entrance. You have hope of living forever. How do you feel now?"    

"How do I feel?"    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and scratched his head. His mind was a little muddled, and he had not completely woken up yet.    

After all, what happened just now was too shocking for him. First, the Demon Lord attacked and wanted to kill him. Then, he became Han Lian's disciple and received many treasures. He was extremely fortunate.    

It was great to be able to survive. As for the other things, he did not want to think about them.    

Chen Xiao sighed and said, "Big Brother Zijing, I was reckless. I didn't prepare at all and condensed the Longevity Soul. I almost died and encountered many dangers. In the void, I was attacked by the Demon Lord. If it wasn't for Han Lian's master saving me, I would probably have died."    

Chen Xiao did not hide anything from the Duke of Zijin and told him the truth.    

He also knew that the Duke of Zijin had protected his fleshly body for such a long time, ensuring that it was safe and sound.    

Chen Xiao naturally remembered what the Duke of Zijin had done. He was extremely grateful.    

"Demon Lord? Han Lian's master? You became Han Lian's disciple?"    

The Duke of Zijin's eyes widened as he asked in surprise.    

According to what he knew, Han Lian was an Eternal Realm expert who had been famous for a long time. He was arrogant and proud, and he was one of the top experts in the human race. He had a high status and was respected by countless cultivators.    

There were countless cultivators who wanted to become Han Lian's disciple. Among them, there was no lack of peerless geniuses. However, according to his knowledge, Han Lian rarely accepted disciples. There were only a few disciples.    

There was no other reason. It was because Han Lian was too lazy to teach them, and she did not like it.    

"Yes, thank you for your high regard, Master. You have accepted me as your in-name disciple." Chen Xiao said.    

In his heart, he was already overjoyed, and he was quite pleased with himself.    

Hearing this, Marquis Zi Jin calmed down a little. "In-name disciple? So that's how it is. Then it makes sense."    

"Ah, Brother Zi Jing, is there anything wrong with this?" Chen Xiao asked.    

Marquis Zi Jin smiled and shook his head, saying, "There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that I'm a little surprised. Commander Han Lian is a true Eternal powerhouse, one of the top human powers. Her strength is extraordinary, but according to what I know, she rarely accepts disciples, and she doesn't accept in-name disciples. I didn't expect that she would actually accept you as her disciple. It seems that she values you a lot. You must not let her down."    

Marquis Zi Jin warned Chen Xiao.    

"Yes, Brother Zi Jing is right." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.    

Seeing that it was about time, Marquis Zi Jin did not want to keep him any longer. He said, "Since you have returned safely, I won't keep you any longer. Go back first and rest for a while. Then you can make your decision."    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's good. Since that's the case, Brother Zi Jing, farewell."    

Chen Xiao stood up and opened the door. Marquis Zi Jin smiled as he watched him leave.    

After leaving the Purple Hall, he immediately bumped into Yue Yao. She had an anxious look on her face, as if she had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Chen Xiao, her eyes reddened and she immediately rushed over with a bear hug.    

Chen Xiao was caught off guard when he saw Yue Yao's sad expression.    

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? I'm fine. Why are you crying?"    

Chen Xiao was a little confused.    

Yue Yao raised her head and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She said, "You heartless bastard. I haven't heard from you for three whole years. You made me worried to death. If it wasn't for the promise of the City Lord, I would have been worried to death."    

Chen Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He said in surprise, "Three years have passed?"    

He had been cultivating in the void while his soul left his body. He had tried to condense a Longevity Soul, but he had no concept of time.    

He never thought that in the blink of an eye, three years had passed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.    

As expected, for cultivators, time was just a matter of a snap of a finger. They were not sensitive at all. This was really a misunderstanding.    

He immediately admitted his mistake and said sincerely, "Yue Yao, I'm sorry. I made you worry. It's my fault."    

Yue Yao wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and said with a serious expression, "What happened in these three years? Why didn't Big Brother Zi Jing say anything? Even I don't know what to say to them."    

Chen Xiao let out a long sigh and quickly comforted her, "I was too careless. My soul left my body and condensed into a long life soul. Once I entered into cultivation, I forgot about time. You have to forgive me..."    

Chen Xiao was very gentle and comforted her. As for the dangers and inner details, he chose to hide it and did not tell them the truth.    

It was not that he wanted to hide anything, but he didn't want Yueyao and the other girls to be too worried.    

After all, whether it was the cultivation of the long life soul or the devil lord's attack, they were not things that the girls could interfere with. It was useless to say more, and if they knew the truth, they would be even more worried. That was not good, and there was no need to.    

"Heh, brat, you have become a lot smarter. I don't know what happened to your human race, but you actually care about the weak."    

Xiluo said with a face full of contempt, completely unable to understand.    

"..." Chen Xiao.    

Seeing that his expression was a little strange, Yueyao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"    

"Nothing. Now that we are safe, let's go home." Chen Xiao smiled and said.    

"En, let's go home."    

After returning to the Immortal Mansion, they chatted for a while. It was not easy to calm Xiao Ling and Nichang down. Chen Xiao felt really tired. Fortunately, the three girls were also very sensible and did not get entangled, so he managed to muddle through.
