Hong Xiu's incident and the change in attitude of the various Sector Lords was all because Mu Fan had displayed his ability to refine the Will Of The Heavenly Way.
Because of this, the various Sector Lords were all on Mu Fan's side. However, if Xiao Chen could also possess such an ability, then things would be different. This was because to the various Sector Lords, what they wanted was to pursue the illusory supreme realm.
Right now, Mu Fan could be said to be the key that had the greatest hope of opening that new door. However, fundamentally speaking, the various World Lords didn't care who the key was. As long as they could open that door and allow them to understand and even come in contact with that supreme realm, that would be enough.
This was the only method that Xiao Chen could think of.
Otherwise, with the various Sector Lords supporting him, it would be impossible for Xiao Chen to save Hong Xiu. Xiao Chen had no chance of fighting against the various Sector Lords. If even Hong Lian couldn't change the outcome, Xiao Chen would have no hope if he fought head-on.
Mu Tai and Luo Li locked their gazes on Xiao Chen, as though they wanted to see through him. Facing the gazes of two Sector Lords, Xiao Chen was naturally under a lot of pressure. However, he couldn't show the slightest bit of guilt at this moment. Therefore, Xiao Chen's expression didn't change as he allowed the two of them to size him up.
Mu Tai and Luo Li didn't speak immediately. Instead, it was Mu Fan who sneered, "Xiao Chen, I thought you had some method. I didn't expect it to be so clumsy. You can also refine the Will Of The Heavenly Way? What a joke. "
Wanting to refine the Will Of The Heavenly Way was obviously not an easy task. Otherwise, why hadn't anyone succeeded in so many years? Including the various Sector Lords, it wasn't that they hadn't personally tried, but they had all failed.
Up until now, only Mu Fan had displayed such an ability. Furthermore, Mu Fan could only absorb a small amount of the Will Of The Heavenly Way's power every time. Mu Fan couldn't withstand more than that.
It could be said that if the current Mu Fan wanted to refine the Will Of The Heavenly Way, it would probably take him a thousand years to refine it completely. The speed was very, very slow.
However, even so, the various Sector Lords saw hope. Therefore, during this period of time, the various Sector Lords could be said to be extremely supportive of Mu Fan.
The best way to break this situation was undoubtedly to find someone who could replace Mu Fan.
Everything was the same. Once there was a substitute, no one would place everything on one person. At that time, the attitude of the Sector Lords would definitely change. This was Xiao Chen's plan.
However, after a while, Luo Li looked at Xiao Chen seriously and said, "Xiao Chen, I know you want to save Hongxiu, but there are some things that can't be said carelessly. Do you understand?"
This was the first time Luo Li had such a serious expression. Luo Li didn't care about other things, but when it came to this matter, he couldn't be careless.
This was because this was the most important issue for the various Sector Lords. If anyone dared to joke about this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, if Xiao Chen didn't have the confidence and only spoke carelessly because he wanted to save Hongxiu, then even if Xiao Chen was the Heir of the Seventh Realm, he wouldn't be able to escape punishment in the end. It would definitely be a heavy punishment.
At that time, even Luo Li wouldn't be able to save Xiao Chen. At most, he would be able to save Xiao Chen's life. That was already the limit.
He warned Xiao Chen sternly. However, hearing this, Xiao Chen said without hesitation, "I can."
Xiao Chen didn't seem to be joking at all. Seeing this, Luo Li wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Mu Tai spoke first. "Gather the others."
Mu Tai's meaning was clear. He wanted all the Sector Lords to come and discuss this matter.
Xiao Chen said that he could also refine the Will Of The Heavenly Way. This was something that no one could guarantee, so they all came together to discuss this matter.
Very quickly, all the Sector Lords gathered in the main hall of the First Realm, including Hong Lian. However, she sat on the main seat of the high platform and looked down at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression. She even had a tinge of gratitude.
Hong Lian wasn't a fool. She naturally knew that Xiao Chen had said this because he wanted to save Hongxiu. However, this method, how should she put it, was completely a gamble. The chances of winning could be said to be almost zero.
All the Sector Lords gathered in the hall. At the same time, they all knew what had happened. The Fourth Realm Lord, Qing Yun, was the first to look at Xiao Chen and ask in a low voice.
"Xiao Chen, I don't care what your intentions are, but seeing that you're the Heir of the Seventh Realm, I can give you one last chance. Give up."
They had tried countless times before, but no one had succeeded. Only now did Mu Fan display this ability. Therefore, the Sector Lords didn't have much hope for Xiao Chen.
Hearing Qing Yun's words, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I won't give up."
Xiao Chen wasn't willing to give up. Seeing this, the Third Realm Lord, Ning Ce, said indifferently, "Alright. In that case, Xiao Chen, we can let you try. However, if you fail, you'll have to bear the corresponding price. Even if Luo Li pleads for you and you can keep your life, your cultivation will definitely go down the drain. In that case, are you still willing to try?"
They could give Xiao Chen a chance to try, but this chance wasn't given for free. It was like gambling. Xiao Chen had to take out the corresponding chips.
Ning Ce's words were very clear. For the sake of Luo Li, they could let Xiao Chen live, but his cultivation would definitely be destroyed.
In other words, if Xiao Chen wanted to prove himself and obtain this chance, he had to gamble with his cultivation.
This gamble was huge. Hearing Ning Ce's words, Mu Fan, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, laughed coldly. His eyes were filled with mockery. What was the difference between losing one's cultivation and death?
Would Xiao Chen dare to accept such a huge gamble? Following Ning Ce's words, the gazes of the Sector Lords all fell on Xiao Chen, waiting for Xiao Chen's final reply.
Facing the gazes of the Sector Lords, Xiao Chen's expression was still calm, and his voice was firm.
"Alright, but I have a condition. If I succeed, from today onwards, Mu Fan can't attack Hong Xiu, nor can he harass her. If I lose, there's no need for the Sector Lords to destroy my cultivation. I'll just kill myself on the spot."
Using his own life to gamble, Xiao Chen also stated his condition. Hearing this, the Sector Lords present looked at each other, their eyes filled with a tinge of contemplation. It was obvious that they were secretly weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.
