Mu Fan's head flew into the air as the blade of the sword sliced through the air. Mu Fan, the first Heir of the Kunlun Realm, had been killed by Xiao Chen in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone could clearly see that Mu Fan's eyes had not closed even at the moment of his death. He had died with his eyes wide open.
Perhaps even at the last moment, Mu Fan had never imagined that he would end up like this. As the Heir of the Hachibara Senkai, he had actually been killed like this.
No one spoke. Everyone had chosen to remain silent. After Xiao Chen had killed Mu Fan, he did not attack again. He slowly withdrew his aura, and the Sword Realm also slowly dissipated.
Xiao Chen was indeed disappointed in the Hachibara Senkai. However, he did not hate them. After all, no matter what, he was indebted to Luo Li. Xiao Chen would not bear a grudge against the Hachibara Senkai.
He had killed Mu Fan because he deserved to die. It had nothing to do with the Hachibara Senkai. As for the indulgence of Luo Li and the other Realm Lords, Xiao Chen knew what they were thinking. Even though he was disappointed, he did not hate them.
After taking care of Mu Fan, Xiao Chen finally turned his gaze towards Luo Li. Xiao Chen still respected Luo Li. After all, no matter what, he had saved his life and protected him.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards Luo Li. Luo Li looked at Xiao Chen walking towards him slowly. Luo Li's expression became extremely complicated.
The two of them looked at each other. In the end, Luo Li sighed helplessly and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come back …"
Even though there were thousands of excuses, in the end, Luo Li only said one sentence. This sentence was indeed Luo Li's heartfelt words.
All the Realm Lords had thought that Xiao Chen had fallen into the hands of the Eight Barren Lands and would not be able to come back. It was because of this that Luo Li agreed with the other Realm Lords and allowed Xiao Chen to attack Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and the others.
To put it bluntly, without Xiao Chen, Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and the others were obviously not as important as Mu Fan in the eyes of the Realm Lords. Hence, in the choice, the Realm Lords chose Mu Fan.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen replied plainly, "I understand."
Indeed, he understood, but Xiao Chen did not. Of course, this was because of the difference in status between the two sides.
As the Realm Lords of Hachibara Senkai, Luo Li and the others naturally put the interests of the Hachibara Senkai first. If they had to choose between Mu Fan and Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling, it was obvious that Mu Fan was more important to the Hachibara Senkai. Hence, in a situation where there was no way to reconcile the two sides, it was understandable that the Realm Lords chose Mu Fan.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen naturally put the safety of Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling first. If he had to choose between the Hachibara Senkai and Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling, Xiao Chen would definitely choose the latter without hesitation. There was no doubt about this.
Luo Li and the others cared about the interests of the Hachibara Senkai, while Xiao Chen cared about the people around him. It was because of this that things had developed to this point.
Was it wrong? Perhaps, but who could say for sure whether it was right or wrong? In the eyes of Luo Li and the others, perhaps Xiao Chen was selfish. For the sake of Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling, he did not care about the interests of the Hachibara Senkai.
On the other hand, to Xiao Chen, Long Qing and Xuanyuan Ling were his elder brother and second sister. The Hachibara Senkai actually thought that Mu Fan was more important, so they did not care about the lives of the two and even allowed Mu Fan to kill the two of them.
Everyone had their own reasons, and from their own standpoints, they all felt that their choice was not wrong.
Sometimes, it was difficult to define right and wrong. Of course, Xiao Chen did not have to fight for right and wrong at this time. Xiao Chen had already done what he wanted to do by killing Mu Fan. As for the rest, Xiao Chen did not have the intention to haggle over it.
Xiao Chen bowed deeply to Luo Li and said, "Sector Lord, Xiao Chen has not forgotten the kindness of saving my life in the past, and will never forget it. Although Xiao Chen has left the Hachibara Senkai today, Xiao Chen will never bear a grudge against the Hachibara Senkai. As for saving my life, Xiao Chen will definitely repay you in the future."
Mu Fan, the main culprit, had already been killed by Xiao Chen. As for the others in the Hachibara Senkai, Xiao Chen would not bear a grudge against them, including Guan Hong and the other Heirs of the Kunlun Family. Xiao Chen did not even hate Mu Tai.
The reason why he had left the Hachibara Senkai was because it was not suitable for him to stay. If he forced himself to stay, it would not benefit anyone.
Xiao Chen remembered the kindness Luo Li had shown him. Although Xiao Chen had done a lot for the Seventh Realm over the years, kindness was kindness. Xiao Chen would not forget it, nor would he repay kindness with enmity.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Luo Li sighed silently. He knew that Xiao Chen was telling the truth, because Luo Li could not see any hatred in Xiao Chen's eyes.
No one had expected things to turn out this way. However, Luo Li did not urge Xiao Chen to stay, because he also knew that there was no point in forcing him to stay. The estrangement had already been created. If Xiao Chen stayed in the Hachibara Senkai, it would not be good for Xiao Chen or the Hachibara Senkai.
Even though Luo Li knew that Xiao Chen would not do anything to the Hachibara Senkai, what about the others? After this incident, would the others in the Hachibara Senkai truly accept Xiao Chen? The answer was obvious. Thus, forcing Xiao Chen to stay was meaningless. There was no benefit in doing so.
Everyone had their own ambitions. Sometimes, it was better to separate. Nodding slightly, Luo Li looked at Xiao Chen and said softly, "Go. Even if you are no longer an Heir of the Seventh Realm, you can still be a friend of the Seventh Realm."
Hearing Luo Li's words, Xiao Chen bowed to Luo Li again. At the same time, Hong Xiu came to Hong Lian.
Looking at her mother, Hong Xiu wanted to say something, but hesitated. She naturally wanted to leave with Xiao Chen.
Hong Lian gently stroked Hong Xiu's hair when she saw her daughter's bashful look. A smile hung on her face as she said, "Silly girl, it's not like we're parting forever. Go if you want to go. Come back if you miss me."
Hong Xiu thought that Hong Lian would be angry, but Hong Lian was not.
In fact, this matter did not need to be so complicated. First of all, Xiao Chen and the Hachibara Senkai did not have an irreconcilable grudge. With Mu Fan's death, Xiao Chen's anger had completely dissipated.
He had left the Hachibara Senkai only because it was not suitable. Xiao Chen did not hate the Hachibara Senkai, and neither did Luo Li. Thus, it was not impossible for Xiao Chen to return to the Hachibara Senkai in the future. As Luo Li had said, he was not an Heir of the Seventh Realm, but he was still a friend of the Seventh Realm.
As for Hong Xiu, if she wanted to follow Xiao Chen, it would not be a problem. Moreover, if Hong Xiu wanted to visit her mother in the Eighth Realm, she could do so at any time. No one would stop her.
They were not enemies, so there was nothing to be sad about. Hearing her mother's words, Hong Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she smiled at Hong Lian and said, "Yes, I will definitely come back often to visit mother."
