Peerless War God

Under the lush and verdant trees, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and spirit birds flew about, playing and playing, making it extremely comfortable. It was a scene of paradise, making one feel fascinated.    

Within a pavilion, the atmosphere was incomparably tense.    

Zi Jing wore a purple-golden robe, and his noble aura was oppressive. His presence was not angry, and the space around him became indistinct, as if he could not see his existence clearly. This showed how shocking his divine ability was.    

Zi Jing had his back facing them, and he did not say a single word.    

Behind him, Xiao Jingshan and Xiao Heng knelt on the ground, and cold sweat poured down their faces. They did not dare to raise their heads, and they did not even dare to breathe heavily, as they were extremely scared.    

Just like this, the terrifying and oppressive atmosphere filled the pavilion, making people feel suffocated.    

The two most important people in the Xiao Clan were kneeling here to ask for forgiveness from Zi Jing. If Zi Jing did not speak, the two of them would naturally not dare to speak.    

They were afraid that if they said something wrong and angered the City Lord of the Purple Cloud City, the consequences would be unimaginable.    

Just like this, after an unknown period of time, Zi Jing turned around and glared at the two of them.    

“Speak, what do you want to say to defend yourself? I will listen to you.”    

“I do not dare. City Lord, I am truly terrified. You have scared me. The Xiao Clan will definitely not dare to have any second thoughts, and we will not dare to be ashamed of the kindness of Lord Zi Jing.”    

Xiao Jingshan nodded like he was pounding garlic. He was kowtowing madly on the ground, and his head was already broken, bleeding outwards. He still did not care about anything, and did not have any intention of stopping.    

When Zi Jing saw this, he was not moved at all. In fact, his eyes were filled with contempt, and he quickly concealed it.    

Obviously, Xiao Heng and Xiao Jing, who had their heads lowered, did not see this.    

“That's right. My Xiao Clan has hundreds of thousands of people, and we definitely would not dare to have any second thoughts.”    

Xiao Heng followed along and begged for forgiveness.    

However, what they encountered was the extremely perceptive Zi Jing. The two of them were crying for forgiveness here not because they had realized their mistakes, but because they were afraid. They were afraid. They knew that they could not resist the entire Zi Yun City, so they were afraid.    

On the other hand, if Zi Jing did not have the strength to rule the world and control everything, the two of them would not even be able to beg for forgiveness.    

This was the bloody reality. It was extremely ridiculous.    

Thinking of this, even someone as strong as Zi Jing felt a wave of powerlessness.    

There were some things that seemed impossible to change, and could only rot bit by bit. Was this the case?    

Forget it. Since it was my turn, then let me cut off all the karma.    

“Is that so? Let me ask you, Xiao Heng, have you realized your mistakes?”    

Zi Jing stared coldly at Xiao Heng and questioned.    

Xiao Heng did not even raise his head. Or rather, he did not dare to raise his head. He quickly replied, “Lord City Lord, I have realized my mistakes. I have already realized my mistakes. I regretted doing such a wrong thing, causing Lord City Lord to suffer losses. It was my fault.”    

When Zi Jing heard this, he did not say a word. There was not even the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.    

Xiao Jingshan, who had been silently watching from the side, felt his heart skip a beat. His heart was filled with fear.    

At this moment, Zi Jing’s gaze coincidentally looked over.    

“Lord City Lord, I know my mistake. I beg you, on account of the many years of life and death that I have spent for you, please give us a way out. Please spare our Xiao Clan. I beg you.”    

Xiao Jingshan kowtowed with all his might, hoping that Zi Jing would forgive them.    

Zi Jing’s eyes flashed with a bright light. A trace of anger flashed by, but it quickly calmed down.    

He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the ruthlessness in his heart, lest he hurt himself.    

“Alright, I will ask you two questions. You can answer them with your heart.”    

Zi Jing said again.    

“Yes, Lord City Lord. Not to mention two questions, even twenty or two hundred questions, there is no problem. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you truthfully. I will not hold anything back.”    

Xiao Jingshan repeatedly guaranteed, his eyes full of fawning.    

“Yes, yes, I will also do the same. Lord City Lord, I know my mistake,” Xiao Heng added.    

When Zi Jing saw this, he seemed to be lost in thought.    

After that, under the shocked gazes of the two, Zi Jing made his move. He laid down two barriers. The barriers were like eggshells, completely isolating the two. They could not even sense each other, nor could they see each other. Their eyes were black.    

Apparently, Zi Jing had noticed this as well. As long as he asked the question, the two of them would give the same answer.    

This was not good. He had to separate the two of them.    

Seeing this, the two of them were stunned on the spot, their eyes filled with fear.    

“Alright, we can ask the questions now. Don’t worry, I am a very fair person. As long as your questions satisfy me, I will be safe.”    

Zi Jing said calmly. His voice was heard by the two of them at the same time.    

“Yes, yes,” Xiao Heng quickly said.    

“Yes, I know. Lord City Lord, I don’t dare to lie. Lord City Lord, you are wise,” Xiao Heng quickly said.    

Zi Jing ignored their pleas and said coldly, “First question, does the Xiao Family collude with Heavenly Battle City?”    

Due to the existence of the barrier, the two of them could not see each other. They immediately panicked.    

However, the two of them were both Tribulation Transcenders, and they had experienced a lot. After the initial panic, they quickly calmed down.    

They were extremely afraid and frightened, but they still had to continue.    

Xiao Heng swallowed his saliva. He was extremely afraid, and his hands were trembling.    

“Yes, I beg Lord City Lord to show mercy.”    

He lowered his head as low as an ostrich, not daring to look at him.    

Xiao Heng was more calm. He knew that the situation was extremely dangerous. If he answered wrongly, he would die and his soul would be destroyed.    

The pavilion seemed calm, but a bloody storm was brewing within.    

If he and Xiao Heng's answers were different, then they would be completely finished.    

"Yes, I beg the City Lord to be magnanimous and give us a way out. For the sake of the Purple Cloud City's many years of effort," Xiao Heng said.    

Xiao Jingshan said with a sorrowful voice, and he seemed to be in pain, making others sympathize with him.    

However, when Zi Jing saw this, he was not moved at all, and he even wanted to laugh.    

"Heh, it seems that my first question is too simple."    

Zi Jing held his chin and pondered for a moment, thinking about the second question.    

"Apart from the Warlord's Mansion and the Godking Clan, is the Xiao Clan colluding with others?"    

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's forehead began to sweat. He shook his head with all his might. "No, no, really no. City Lord, you have to believe me."    

Xiao Jingshan raised his head and opened his mouth. He felt as if he could not breathe.    

When he stared at Zi Jing's cold and serious face, he seemed to be facing the god of death.    

Xiao Jingshan kept snorting, and he felt as if he was about to stop breathing. Time seemed to have stopped.    

"This, City Lord, I…"    

Xiao Jingshan wanted to say something, but it was a pity that Zi Jing did not want to hear him quibble.    

"Answer my question." Zi Jing's voice was very cold.    

Xiao Jingshan lowered his head, but he quickly raised it again, revealing a fawning smile.    

"No."    

The answer was the same.    

After a moment, the barrier dissipated, and two headless corpses appeared on the ground.
