Tang Ning also spoke. He and Zuo Chunqiu generally belong to the rational school and knew that Gu Chen's judgment was very accurate.
What Gu Chen said was not that exaggerating others' ambitions would destroy his own prestige. On the contrary, it was a conclusion he came to after sizing up the situation after experiencing the battle!
After Tang Ning finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.
In fact, through many details of this battle, everyone actually understood the gap between the Ninth Realm and Xingjun, but even so, they were still unwilling to let Gu Chen make sacrifices in order to save their own lives!
"I have reached an agreement with Mr. Xingdao. In fact, the matter has been settled. There is no need for everyone to argue about this anymore."
Seeing that everyone was in heavy mood, Gu Chen smiled and said.
Zuo Chunqiu stared at him and raised his eyebrows. "You don't really intend to be loyal to Lord Xing Dao for ten thousand years, do you? What if he just deceived you and you were executed as soon as you arrived in the Xing Realm?"
Gu Chen smiled lightly when he heard this, "Xing Daojun agreed readily. Although I don't know what his conspiracy is, things are definitely not that simple."
"Everyone can rest assured that I have my own plan, and I will never die in vain."
Seeing Gu Chen's calm face, everyone felt a little calmer.
The Gu Chen they knew was never someone who was easy to mess with. Although this time it was forced by the situation, since he made such a decision, he must still have some trump cards.
Tang Ning and Zuo Chunqiu couldn't help but think of the private conversation between Gu Chen and the first Emperor of Heaven at the Tomb of the Emperor of Heaven.
Perhaps the first emperor of heaven left some backing up for Gu Chen.
"I will leave the Ninth Realm soon. After I leave, everything will be left to you."
Gu Chen explained what he should pay attention to after leaving. This was the reason why he told his companions about this.
He would not be so naive as to think that Lord Xingdao would really not attack the Ninth Realm again after he promised him, so the necessary defense of the Ninth Realm must not be missing.
He will try his best to buy time for his hometown, but every monk in the Ninth Realm must strive for success.
Only when the Ninth Realm becomes truly powerful one day will it no longer need to be threatened by others.
"We will protect this place, but His Majesty the Emperor just left like this and didn't go back to Canghuang Ancient Star to have a look?"
Hai Dongqing hesitated.
No one can guarantee whether Gu Chen will come back alive this time. The Sea of Chaos is too far away and unknown to them.
Gu Chen was silent after hearing this. He thought of Lan Chu, his parents, and his infant child.
He was very glad that he learned that he had an extra son while being assimilated by the black hole. It was a warm surprise that enabled him to overcome difficulties no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he faced in the future.
He missed his family very much and wanted to go back and see them.
But the promise he made when he returned to the stars has not yet been fulfilled, and his homeland has never been truly peaceful!
Only by completely solving the serious problem of Xingjun can he return to his wife and children with peace of mind.
Now he has a sharp sword hanging over his head at all times, so he can't be reluctant to leave her, let alone bring danger to them.
"I will write a letter, fellow Daoist Hai, asking you to help me bring back Canghuang Ancient Star."
Gu Chen said after being silent for a long time.
"Understood."
Hai Dongqing nodded, and everyone noticed the concern and helplessness in Gu Chen's heart.
He took the responsibility of the entire world on himself and moved forward with a heavy load, and sacrificed too many for it.
"I'll go to Xingjun with you."
Zuo Chunqiu suddenly spoke.
"I'll go too!"
"Let's go together!"
At that moment, many companions spoke up. They had overcome countless difficulties and got to where they are today. There was no reason for Gu Chen to face the unknown and terrifying world alone.
"I'll go alone."
Gu Chen firmly refused.
"Why? Are you the only one allowed to sacrifice yourself?"
Everyone is angry, this guy is still insisting on his own way!
"You really want me to tell the truth?" Gu Chen looked strange.
"Say!" everyone said dissatisfied.
"You are too weak. If I am alone, even if I get into trouble or fall out with that Xingdao Lord, there is a certain chance that I can escape. But if I take you with me, I will definitely die."
Gu Chen criticized coldly.
Everyone was speechless and could only stare!
Indeed, Gu Chen's strength has reached an unfathomable level after his breakthrough. No one can be sure that the way he looked when he dealt with Pang Zheng was his strongest state!
Considering this, everyone gradually lost their intention to follow. Some of them have not even reached the imperial realm, and if they do, they can only be a burden.
It's better to stay here and do what you can.
After Gu Chen discussed with everyone, he spent a lot of time writing a letter home seriously. After doing all this, he summoned four prisoners from Xingjun County.
The four Xingjun generals already knew that their fate was decided by Gu Chen alone, and they all lost their backbone and begged for mercy.
Gu Chen looked at them indifferently.
Lord Xingdao asked him to kill three of them, but he had no intention of going against his will.
These four people participated in the attack on the Ninth Realm, and they deserved to die. Leaving one of them alive was a great mercy to them.
Gu Chen observed the reactions of the four people before they died and found that the only female general was calmer and calmer than the other three.
So he killed the other three generals and searched for their souls one by one.
The three of them screamed in agony before they died. In order to get as much information about Xingjun from their heads, Gu Chen roughly searched every memory in their souls.
The female general Wuli witnessed the tragic deaths of her three companions one by one. Although she looked calm, her pretty face was still quite pale.
Gu Chen killed three people and after reading their memories, he looked at the remaining female generals indifferently.
"May I have your name?"
"Master Qi, my name is Wuli."
Wuli answered immediately, and in order to please Gu Chen, he lowered his head and exposed his snow-white chest.
"Remember, from today on, you will only listen to my orders. If you dare to have any different intentions, you will end up with the same fate as them."
Gu Chen turned a blind eye and threatened indifferently.
"My subordinates understand, my subordinates understand!"
Wuli quickly kowtowed to Gu Chen and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed that her life was finally saved.
"The battleship you came with has been damaged. How are you going to return to the prison world?"
Gu Chen quickly asked about business matters.
The situation in the Sea of Chaos is different from that in the Ninth Realm. Ordinary starships may not be able to undergo a long journey.
"Please rest assured, sir, there are spare warships on the other side of the Chaos Path Window, which can be requisitioned at any time." Wuli replied quickly.
