Chapter 1265
Tang Ning spoke up. Like Zuo Chunqiu, he was a rational person and knew that Gu Chen's judgment was accurate.
What Gu Chen said wasn't to boost the morale of others and belittle his own. On the contrary, it was the conclusion he had reached after going through a battle and assessing the situation!
As soon as Tangning finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Actually, through the details of this battle, everyone understood the difference between the Ninth World and Xing County. Even so, they were not willing to let Gu Chen sacrifice himself just to save their own lives!
"I have already reached an agreement with Dao Lord Xing. In fact, everything has already been decided. There is no need to argue over this."
Gu Chen said with a smile when he saw that everyone was in a heavy mood.
Zuo Chunqiu stared at him and raised his eyebrows. "You are not really planning to serve Dao Lord Xing for 65,555 years, are you? What if he is just bluffing you and you are executed as soon as you reach Xing County? "
Hearing this, Gu Chen revealed a calm smile. "Xing Daoist agreed very readily. Although I don't know what he's scheming, it's definitely not that simple."
"Don't worry, everyone. I have my own plans. I am not going to die for nothing."
Everyone calmed down when they saw Gu Chen's calm expression.
The Gu Chen they knew was not someone to be trifled with. Although he was forced by the situation this time, he must still have a trump card since he made such a decision.
Tang Ning and Zuo Chunqiu couldn't help but think of the conversation Gu Chen had with the First Celestial Emperor in the Tomb of the Celestial Emperor.
Perhaps the First Celestial Emperor had left something behind for Gu Chen.
"I will be leaving the Ninth World soon. After I leave, everything will be in your hands."
Gu Chen told everyone what to watch out for after he left. This was the reason why he told everyone about this.
He was not naive enough to think that Dao Lord Xing would not attack the Ninth World again just because he had promised him. Therefore, the Ninth World's defenses must not be lacking.
He would try his best to buy time for his hometown, but every cultivator in the Ninth World had to work hard.
Only when the Ninth Realm became truly powerful would it no longer need to be threatened by others.
"We will guard this place, but Your Majesty the Celestial Emperor is leaving just like that, not going back to Ancient Cang Huang Star to take a look?"
Hai Dongqing said hesitantly.
No one could guarantee that Gu Chen would not be able to return alive. The Chaos Sea was too far away for them.
Gu Chen fell silent. He thought of Lanchu, his parents, and his infant child.
He was glad that he had learned that he had a son while he was assimilated by the black hole. It was a warm surprise that allowed him to overcome all the difficulties and obstacles in the future.
He missed his family very much and wanted to go back and see them.
However, he had yet to fulfill the promise he had made when he returned to the starry sky. His home had yet to achieve true peace!
He could only return to his wife and son with peace of mind after he dealt with the threat of Xing County.
Right now, there was a sharp sword hanging over his head at all times. He couldn't be reluctant to part with them, and he couldn't bring danger to them.
"I will write a letter. My friend Hai, please help me take it back to Ancient Cang Huang Star."
Gu Chen said after a long silence.
"I understand."
Hai Dongqing nodded. Everyone could sense Gu Chen's concern and helplessness.
He had shouldered the responsibility of the entire world and moved forward with it. Too many people had sacrificed for it.
"I will go to Xing County with you."
Zuo Chunqiu suddenly said.
"I will go too!"
"Let's go together!"
Many of his companions said. They had overcome countless difficulties and reached this day together. There was no reason to let Gu Chen face the unknown and terrifying world alone.
"I will go alone."
Gu Chen refused firmly.
"Why? Are you the only one allowed to sacrifice yourself? "
Everyone was enraged. This fellow was still so obstinate in his actions!
"Do you really want me to tell you the truth?" Gu Chen had a strange look on his face.
"Speak!" everyone said unhappily.
"You are too weak. If I go alone, even if I encounter trouble and fall out with Dao Lord Xing, there is a chance that I can escape. But if I bring you along, I will definitely die. "
Gu Chen said coldly.
Everyone was speechless and could only stare at him.
Indeed, Gu Chen's strength had reached an unfathomable level after his breakthrough. No one could be sure that he was at his strongest when he fought against Pang Zheng!
With this in mind, everyone gradually gave up on following him. Some of them had not even reached the Martial Emperor Realm. They would only be a burden if they followed him.
It was better for them to stay here and do what they could.
After Gu Chen finished his discussion with the others, he spent a lot of time writing a letter to his family earnestly. After that, he summoned the four captives from Xing County to see him.
"Sir, please spare us! Please spare our lives! "
The four generals from Xing County knew that their fates were decided by Gu Chen. They all lost their courage and begged for mercy.
Gu Chen looked at them coldly.
Dao Lord Xing wanted him to kill three of them, and he had no intention of going against his wishes.
These four had participated in the attack on the Ninth Realm and deserved to die. Sparing one of them was already a great mercy.
Gu Chen observed the reactions of the four before they died. He discovered that the only female general was calmer than the other three.
Therefore, he killed the other three generals and searched their souls one by one.
The three of them screamed in pain before they died. In order to obtain as much information as possible about Xing County, Gu Chen searched their souls violently.
The female general, Wu Li, watched as her three companions died. Although she looked calm, her face was still pale.
After Gu Chen killed the three and read their memories, he looked at the remaining female general coldly.
"What's your name?"
"Sir, I'm Wu Li," Wu Li answered immediately.
Wu Li immediately answered. In order to please Gu Chen, she even deliberately lowered her head, revealing her snow-white chest.
"Remember, from today onwards, you will only listen to my orders. If you dare to have any other thoughts, you will end up like them. "
Gu Chen turned a blind eye to him and threatened him indifferently.
"This subordinate understands, this subordinate understands!"
Wu Li quickly kowtowed to Gu Chen and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that her life was finally spared.
"The battleship you came in has been destroyed. How are you going to return to Xing County?"
Gu Chen quickly asked about serious matters.
The situation in Chaos Sea was different from the Ninth Realm. Ordinary spaceships would not be able to make the long journey.
"Sir, don't worry. There are spare battleships on the other side of the Chaos Transit Window. We can use them at any time," Wu Li quickly answered.
"Alright, I'll leave this to you."
