Chapter 1536

"You're a qualified soldier, but it's a pity that bravery isn't the only one who has the last laugh in this world. I've already won, so why should I give you another chance? "

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He turned and left after he finished speaking, leaving the furious Sinner roaring.

"Leader, you haven't said what to do with this fellow yet." The leader of the Devouring Roc Clan asked hurriedly.

"Don't you all have a grudge against him? I'll leave him to you. Just leave his corpse to me. "

With that, Gu Chen strode toward the army of Lei Commandery in the distance.

"Understood!"

The leader of the Devouring Roc Clan was excited. He and his companions still had many grudges to settle with Sinner.

He was most worried that Sinner would be too strong and that Gu Chen would want to recruit him. Fortunately, he wasn't the kind of person who only cared about benefits and ignored the feelings of his companions.

…

All the soldiers of Lei Commandery in the Star Ruins had their weapons confiscated. They knelt with their heads lowered, waiting for the new Dao Lord to deal with them.

The generals of Lei Commandery were not having it easy either. They were all tied up and restricted, and were guarded by the cultivators of Chi Commandery.

"Seventy percent of our people died, including all the foreign affairs elders. This is all thanks to you, Emissary of the Right!"

Emissary of the Left stared at Xiao Haimei and Xiao Qingxuan, who were kneeling in front of her, her eyes filled with intense hatred.

Elder Xiao and many of the surviving cultivators of Chi Commandery stood beside her, their expressions ugly.

There had originally been three thousand cultivators of Chi Commandery gathered in the Star Ruins today, but after the battle, only nine hundred of them were left!

If not for Xiao Haimei's cooperation with her sister in Lei Commandery, there wouldn't have been such a huge casualty. Therefore, the surviving cultivators of Chi Commandery naturally focused their anger on the Xiao sisters.

"Ruan Yuhuan, don't act like you're the winner. You're not in charge here."

Xiao Haimei glanced at the Immaterial Woman in the distance and retorted fearlessly.

Although she was kneeling and Ruan Yuhuan was standing, it didn't mean that Chi Commandery was the winner.

The real winner was the Tyrant and his group. The cultivators of Chi Commandery were only saved from being tied up because they had defected in time. As for whether they could truly become companions of the Tyrant and his group, it was still up to the Tyrant.

"You …"

Seeing that Xiao Haimei didn't feel guilty at all, Ruan Yuhuan was so angry that she wanted to slap her. However, Elder Xiao winked at her, and she tried hard to suppress it.

Xiao Haimei was right; they weren't the final winners yet. If they were to put on a domineering front and incur the ire of the new Dao Monarch, the consequences would be dire.

"Most of the cultivators of Chi Commandery don't know each other. If they die, then so be it. Do you really care that much? You're just looking for someone to vent your anger on! "

"Besides, that Chi Mo is so useless. If this scam is not exposed today, you might not even know that you were sold by him. You should be glad that at least you have the chance to rely on a wise master! "

Xiao Qingxuan, the Mother of Lightning, was as cold as ice. She also mocked Ruan Yuhuan.

"What a pair of sharp-tongued sisters!"

Ruan Yuhuan was so angry that she had nothing to say. At this time, Elder Xiao pulled her aside.

"Calm down. Although the words of those two sisters are unpleasant to hear, they are not wrong."

Elder Xiao sighed and cast a suggestive glance into the distance.

Ruan Yuhuan followed his gaze and happened to see Gu Chen, who had changed into a new robe, and the hunchbacked old man together. They seemed to be discussing something.

Her heart could not help but tremble, and she quickly lowered her head, lest Gu Chen notice that she was spying on them.

"Chi Mo is strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. This is something we never expected. If we really serve him today, we won't even know how we die in the future. "

"Although our Chi Commandery suffered a large number of casualties in this battle, fortunately, a wise king appeared in front of us, and we have hope."

Elder Xiao sighed. After seeing Gu Chen kill Thunder Dao Monarch with his own eyes, he had made up his mind to follow him.

"Given the current situation, it would be best if the Overlord is willing to take us in. However, will he agree? "

Ruan Yuhuan naturally understood the logic of what Elder Xiao said, but she could not help but feel a little worried.

Elder Xiao was easy to persuade since he had been friendly to the Overlord from the beginning. It would not be difficult to join his team.

However, she was different. Her relationship with the Overlord had never been good. Now that Chi Mo was gone, she wanted to rely on him. Would he reject her outright?

"Don't worry. The Overlord participated in the Chi Mo's birth ceremony with the intention of taking in the members of our Chi Commandery. Now that he killed Thunder Dao Monarch and obtained the Thunder Commandery, he needs us even more, "Elder Xiao said meaningfully.

"Elder Xiao, you mean …" Ruan Yuhuan was confused.

"Think about it, the Thunder Commandery is huge. Although the Overlord obtained it, he has too few subordinates. How can he manage it? Although the original high-level cultivators in the Thunder Commandery can be used, can he be completely at ease?

"In this case, the cultivators of our Chi Commandery can be put to use. Next, as long as we perform well and fulfill our duties, we will have a place in the Thunder Commandery in the future! "

Elder Xiao said. Ruan Yuhuan's eyes lit up.

She had been thinking about the grudge with the Overlord, but she did not consider it from the perspective of reality.

The Overlord was a man who wanted to do great things. He would not take her previous difficulties seriously.

In contrast, she had been the Left Emissary of the Chi Commandery for a long time and was good at management. The Overlord could use her when he ruled the Thunder Commandery in the future!

"The high-level cultivators in the Thunder Commandery are destined to not be put in an important position, and the Overlord has so few companions. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be appreciated by the Overlord … Elder Xiao, you are right. This is our chance, a chance to rise to the top!"

The more Ruan Yuhuan thought about it, the more excited she became. She swept away the haze in her heart and was full of fighting spirit.

"Senior, what do you think of what I said?"

In the distance, Gu Chen glanced at the twins and Ruan Yuhuan of the Xiao Family and asked the hunchbacked old man calmly.

"Leader, you are very thoughtful. The Old Man was worried that you would lose your mind because of a momentary success. Although it is a pity to give up these achievements, we will go further because of it. The Old Man admires you from the bottom of his heart and fully supports your decision, but I have a request. "

The hunchbacked old man flattered with a smile on his face.

"Oh, what request do you have?" Gu Chen was surprised.

"Leader, you call the Old Man senior. This is the Leader's way of showing respect to the wise, but since the Tyrant Commandery wants to expand, we can't mess up the etiquette. Therefore, you should call the Old Man by his name in the future, "the hunchbacked old man explained.

"I still don't know your name." Gu Chen laughed involuntarily.

"Leader, you can just call me John Doe," the hunchbacked old man said seriously.

"Although you are John Doe, you have made great contributions. I will remember it. Next, I need your help, John Doe, to think of a proper solution. "
