The content of Xiao Chen's letter was simple. He told Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling that he would stay behind to protect Hongxiu.
"Big Brother, Second Sister, I've chosen to stay behind. I've experienced the pain of losing someone by my side once and I'm not willing to abandon anyone else. Don't worry. If I'm safe, I will return to the First Wilderness myself. If … if I die, Big Brother, Second Sister, please take care of Luan Luan for me. She is the chance to revive Shuirou and the others. In the future, I may need to trouble Big Brother and Second Sister to take care of them."
It was an extremely simple sentence without the slightest bit of emotion. It was as though he was stating a simple fact.
Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling finally understood Xiao Chen's intentions. Xiao Chen had asked everyone to evacuate while Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling stayed behind.
From the start, Xiao Chen knew that even if everyone stayed behind, the outcome would still be the same. They would definitely be wiped out. That was why Xiao Chen allowed everyone to break out of the encirclement while he stayed behind alone.
Xiao Chen chose to stay behind because he wasn't willing to abandon Hongxiu. After all, no matter what, it wouldn't feel good to be abandoned. Besides, Xiao Chen wasn't willing to abandon anyone else by his side. That was why even though Xiao Chen knew that he would die, he was willing to stay behind to accompany Hongxiu.
Both of them stood on the spot blankly. Upon seeing this, Ye Xiao approached them dubiously. When he saw the letter in Long Qing's hand, Ye Xiao finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Xiao Chen had no intention of abandoning Hongxiu and escaping alone. The reason why he said that was because he wanted everyone to leave as soon as possible. There was no need for everyone to die together.
It was better to die alone than to die together. It was enough for him to accompany Hongxiu alone.
Apparently, he had misunderstood Xiao Chen. Ye Xiao froze on the spot. At the same time, after a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Long Qing suddenly said, "No, I have to go back and save my younger brother."
Xiao Chen didn't want to abandon anyone around him, and Long Qing was the same. Therefore, after learning that Xiao Chen chose to stay alone, Long Qing's first reaction was to go back.
Hearing Long Qing's words, Xuanyuan Ling did not have the slightest objection. Immediately, the two of them prepared to pilot the starship back.
However, after sensing the abnormality of the Seventh World's Starship, Guan Hong and the others also rushed over. After learning that Xiao Chen had stayed behind alone, Guan Hong and the others worked together to stop Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and Ye Xiao from going back to die in vain.
They knew how the three of them felt and could empathize with them. However, now that they had broken out of the encirclement, if Long Qing and the others turned back, they would only die with Xiao Chen.
Knowing that they would die, Guan Hong and the others naturally could not let Long Qing and the others go. After subduing the three of them, the Seventh World's Starship flew along the predetermined route. As for Xiao Chen, although Guan Hong and the others also felt bad, there was nothing they could do. If they went back now, they would definitely be walking into a trap.
Guan Hong and the others successfully escaped because of Xiao Chen's decisiveness. At this time, Guan Hong, Fu Rui, and Qiu Ru were on the Seventh World's Starship. As for Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and Ye Xiao, the three of them had been successfully subdued.
With his cultivation sealed, Long Qing looked angrily at Guan Hong and the others in front of him and said, "Let go of me. I have to go save my little brother."
"Long Qing, calm down. We are also very sad about Xiao Chen's situation. However, if we go back now, what else can we do other than die with Xiao Chen?" Guan Hong said with disappointment when he heard Long Qing's words.
Xiao Chen let the others escape, but he chose to stay. This was not what Guan Hong had expected. No one had expected Xiao Chen to make such a choice.
Guan Hong paused and then continued, "Xiao Chen let us escape. If we go back now, wouldn't Xiao Chen's good intentions go to waste? Moreover, if you die, who will take care of Luan Luan?"
Luan Luan. Upon hearing this, Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling fell silent. Yes, Xiao Chen had already told them to take good care of Luan Luan.
Luan Luan could be said to be the only hope of reviving Qin Shuirou and the others. She was also Xiao Chen's hope. If the two of them died, who would take care of Luan Luan? Who would revive Qin Shuirou and the others?
Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling were silent. With regards to this, Guan Hong did not say anything. With the current situation, it was impossible for Guan Hong to have any misgivings about what the two of them were thinking. In any case, it was impossible for him to allow the two of them to return and die in vain.
Without giving the two of them a choice, Guan Hong and the others forcibly brought Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and Ye Xiao out of the Second Wilderness.
Now was not the time to relax. Who knew if the people from Ba Huang were still chasing after them? Therefore, they could not stop, let alone turn back.
In fact, Guan Hong did not feel good about making such a choice. However, his rationality told him that he could not turn back, otherwise, everyone would die.
Guan Hong's caution was not wrong, because the four elders of the Third Wilderness had not given up. They were still chasing after them, but there was not much hope left.
Even though the four of them were Immortal Emperors, it was still impossible for them to catch up with the spaceship.
While Guan Hong and the others were fleeing, the spaceship of the Third Wilderness was rapidly approaching the Force of Living Beings.
The three elders on the starship had already received the news that Guan Hong and the others had broken out of the encirclement. Since they couldn't stop Guan Hong and the others, it was too late to chase after them. Therefore, the three elders piloted the starship and arrived outside the Force of Beings.
From afar, the three of them could feel the qi of the Force of Living Beings. One of them said regretfully, "What a pity. All our efforts were in vain in the end."
"Someone's here." Indeed, it was a pity. However, as soon as the elder's voice faded, another elder spoke anxiously.
Someone. When the three elders heard that, they looked forward. Indeed, there was a person sitting in front of them. He was a branch family member, sitting alone in the starry sky.
The spaceship slowly approached the person. This person was none other than Xiao Chen, who had chosen to stay behind alone. Apparently, the three elders knew Xiao Chen and recognized Xiao Chen's identity at first glance.
"Xiao Chen? The Heir of the Seventh Realm? "
"Xiao Chen, are you courting death? The others have already fled. Only you stayed behind. Heh. "
"Xiao Chen, are you going to stay behind and stop us? Do you think you can do it? Or should I say, you're courting death. "
The three elders sneered one after another. They did not expect that Xiao Chen was still here. For a moment, the three elders were in a good mood.
Facing the three elders' sneers, Xiao Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the three elders standing on the spaceship and said indifferently, "There are many things that you must do even though you know it's impossible."
