The seal of the Gate of the Immortal Realm was finally broken. With that, the atmosphere in the Seventh Realm gradually became tense.
Everyone knew that once the seal was broken, a great war would break out. The Seventh Realm and the Eighth Realm would join forces to attack the Seventh Wilderness. However, it was said that the Will Of The Heavenly Way from the Eighth Wilderness had also arrived in the Seventh Wilderness.
Everyone was making their final preparations. Everyone knew that such a battle would be incomparably fierce, and anyone could fall in it.
No matter what your cultivation was or how strong your combat power was, you could die in such a great war. Therefore, in the face of such a great war, no one was allowed to be careless.
Xiao Chen was like everyone else. He was making his final preparations for the upcoming war. However, besides that, the killing intent in Xiao Chen's heart grew stronger as the war approached.
At night, Xiao Chen sat alone at the top of the mountain in his cave residence, drinking wine.
In Xiao Chen's cave residence, there was a snow mountain that was not very high. It could be said that this was Xiao Chen's favorite place to come. Whenever he was upset or missed Qin Shuirou and the other three girls, Xiao Chen would come here alone.
However, it was different this time. In addition to Xiao Chen, the little girl Hongxiu was also by his side.
She had almost completely become Xiao Chen's follower. Basically, wherever Xiao Chen was, Hongxiu would follow.
On the top of the snow mountain, Xiao Chen ignored Hongxiu. He drank alone, holding the necklace in his hand.
This necklace could be said to be more precious than Xiao Chen's life. This necklace was condensed from the remnant souls of Qin Shuirou and the others. It was also their only hope of resurrection.
Compared to his usual self, Xiao Chen looked even more desolate and lonely at the moment.
The seal of the gate to the Immortal Region had been broken. Next, it was time to face the old friends of the Seventh Wilderness. Moreover, Xiao Chen was now the Heir of the Seventh World. Without a doubt, he was on the opposite side of the Seventh Wilderness. They were enemies.
He thought of Xuanyuan Ling, Long Qing, Yin-yangzi, Xiao Sheng, and other people who used to be familiar with him.
He wondered if everyone was doing well, and what did they think of him? Should he choose to believe in the Will Of The Heavenly Way like the Wine Daoist and feel that he was an unpardonable beast, or should he choose to believe in himself?
Xiao Chen was a little confused, but one thing was certain. No matter what everyone thought, even if they thought that he was worse than a pig or a dog, Xiao Chen would not change his decision.
He thought of his old friends in the Seventh Wilderness. Speaking of which, the Seventh Wilderness was his hometown. But now, as the Heir of the Seventh World, Xiao Chen was going to attack his hometown. It was indeed a bit mocking.
Sensing that Xiao Chen was even more lonely than usual, Hong Xiu, who was standing beside him, spoke in a gentle voice, which she rarely did.
"If you don't want to go to the Seventh Wilderness, you don't have to go. I'll tell my mother that you don't have to participate in this battle."
Hong Xiu had already heard from Ye Xiao that Xiao Chen had once been the First Saint of the Seventh Wilderness. She thought that Xiao Chen couldn't bear to attack the Seventh Wilderness, so she spoke up.
For some reason, when she sensed Xiao Chen's loneliness, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
What did a man have to go through to be so lonely and desolate?
After saying this, Hong Xiu didn't think that Xiao Chen would respond. After all, so many days had passed, and Xiao Chen had always ignored her. He treated her like she was invisible.
But this time, Hong Xiu didn't expect Xiao Chen to speak up after she spoke. "I just don't know how to face my old friends."
This was the first time Xiao Chen had responded to Hong Xiu. Seeing this, Hong Xiu couldn't help but feel happy. She giggled and said, "Then don't go. I'll tell my mother that you can just stay in the Seventh Wilderness."
Hong Xiu's thoughts were simple. Since Xiao Chen didn't know how to face his old friends in the Seventh Wilderness, then it was fine if he didn't participate in this battle. Anyway, Hong Xiu could tell Hong Lian. For Hong Lian's sake, Luo Li wouldn't make things difficult for Xiao Chen.
He knew that the girl meant well, but it wasn't in Xiao Chen's character to hide.
Moreover, even if he didn't meet them this time, what about in the future? They would meet again one day.
After taking a big gulp of wine, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "No need. I'll have to face them sooner or later."
Some things couldn't be avoided and had to be faced sooner or later. Whether his old friends believed in him or not, it didn't matter to Xiao Chen.
Perhaps Xiao Chen might be affected by their attitude, but so what? Xiao Chen would still walk down the path he had to walk.
Even if the whole world said that he was an unpardonable beast, Xiao Chen would still walk down the path as usual. It wasn't for anything else, but for that seemingly illusory glimmer of hope, the hope of reviving Qin Shuirou and the others.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Hong Xiu smiled and raised the wine pot in her hand. She smiled at Xiao Chen and said, "Hehe, in that case, I'll reluctantly accompany you so that you won't be bullied when you're alone."
Hong Xiu's smug expression when she said this was very cute. In fact, with Hong Xiu's quasi-sage great mastery cultivation, she wouldn't be of much use if she followed Xiao Chen. To put it bluntly, it wouldn't be good who would take care of who.
However, Xiao Chen's heart still rippled when he heard this.
He turned his head and looked deeply at Hong Xiu. This was the first time Xiao Chen looked at Hong Xiu. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, especially Xiao Chen's pair of blood-red eyes, Hong Xiu's heart started to beat faster for some reason. A different kind of emotion also rose in her heart.
Her pretty face blushed slightly. It was as if she was about to be sucked in by Xiao Chen's pair of blood-red eyes. However, just as Hong Xiu was secretly bashful, Xiao Chen just said indifferently, "I don't need a quasi-sage ant to follow me."
As soon as Xiao Chen said this, Hong Xiu naturally couldn't accept it. She pouted and said unhappily, "Humph, Xiao Chen, I'll catch up with you one day. Just you wait, I'll ask my mother to find me the power of all living beings. When I break through the immortal realm and condense the Heavenly Immortal Mansion, I'll protect you."
Hong Xiu said angrily. Xiao Chen didn't say anything about this. However, his impression of Hong Xiu had changed a little. How should he put it? Perhaps this unruly and willful little girl had gained Xiao Chen's approval. Xiao Chen didn't mind having such an unruly little girl by his side.
