Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape was the best stratagem.
Wuxu slipped away quietly in front of Chen Xi's eyes.
Looking in the direction Wuxu disappeared in, Chen Xi finally came back to his senses after a long while.
He burned his blood essence and then put on such a grand display …
In the end, it was all to escape??
This was a little awkward.
Chen Xi turned around and glanced at the Jiang family, only to find that everyone was looking at him expressionlessly.
"This …"
"I'm sorry, we let him escape …"
"It was a mistake, a mistake …"
Since he had already escaped, it was impossible for Chen Xi to catch up no matter how much he wanted to.
At this point, Chen Xi could only sheathe his longsword with an awkward expression and sincerely apologize to the Jiang family.
Although he did not do anything wrong.
Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him and the wildfire raging on Daiyu Island below, Chen Xi still felt a little apologetic.
After all, Wuxu's trip had greatly damaged Daiyu Island's vitality.
Although he had arrived in time to save the Jiang family, as long as Wuxu successfully escaped, it meant that …
This was actually a meaningless and crushing defeat.
They had lost more than a hundred Heavenly Beings, but in the end, they only managed to get the other party to escape unscathed.
No matter who it was, they would not be able to accept this result.
Therefore, after confirming that Divine General Wuxu had successfully escaped, the Jiang family had a complicated expression on their faces.
They did not dare to blame Chen Xi.
After all, Chen Xi had just saved their lives.
But at the same time …
They could not help but curse in their hearts.
If Mr. Chen had not been so arrogant just now …
Wuxu's head would probably have been placed in front of the ancestral tablets by now.
Because of this thought, the Jiang family could not help but feel a little dejected. They even felt disheartened.
Three hundred Heavenly Beings could not deal with a Divine General.
When this person recovered from his injuries and returned to Daiyu Island for revenge, how were the remaining hundred or so people supposed to stop him?
When the time came …
Were they not fishes on the chopping board? Whether they were killed or cut off completely depended on Wuxu's mood.
Everyone's faces were clouded with worry, and their hearts were filled with anxiety.
At this critical moment, perhaps only Old Ancestor Jiang Yan could still respond to Chen Xi with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen …"
"If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the lives of this old man and the tens of thousands of Jiang clansmen on Dai Yu Island would have been in danger …"
"Such a great favor is like giving birth to a new life …"
Speaking to here, Jiang Yan suddenly bowed towards Chen Xi, then said extremely solemnly, "Jiang Yan is here. On behalf of the entire Jiang Clan, I thank Mister for saving my life!"
Since the Elder Ancestor had expressed his opinion, no matter how uncomfortable everyone was, they could only bow to Chen Xi and say, "Thank you for saving our lives, Mister!"
Seeing this, Chen Xi also said politely with an awkward expression, "Everyone, please rise. It's just a small matter. Everyone, there's no need to be so polite …"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan straightened his body, then lamented with a pained expression, "After this battle, the Jiang Clan's vitality has been greatly damaged. Looking at this devastated Dai Yu Island, this old man's heart aches even more …"
"All the sins were caused by this old man. This old man only hopes that this decision is not wrong …"
"Otherwise, when this old man goes to the netherworld in the future, how can I face the ancestors of the Jiang Clan!"
"I, Jiang Yan …"
"Am the sinner of the Jiang Clan!"
Jiang Yan was filled with grief and indignation.
In a moment of agitation, two streams of turbid tears fell from the "old man's" eyes.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes, even Chen Xi, an outsider, could not bear to see it, let alone these reborn juniors of the Jiang Clan.
"Elder Ancestor, you're right!"
"Your decision is also for the sake of revitalizing the Jiang Clan, and also for the sake of establishing the supreme glory of our clan in the future!"
"The Jiang Clan has not been defeated!"
"As long as we are still alive, even if we are smashed to pieces, we will fight for a brand new future for the Jiang Clan under your leadership!"
"For the Jiang Clan!"
"Yes! Even if we are smashed to pieces, we will not retreat even half a step! "
"F * ck the Divine General of Tiandu!"
"In the future, if anyone dares to mention the word 'ascension' in front of me, I will definitely not forgive him!"
"From today onwards, the Jiang Clan will definitely be at odds with Tiandu!"
"Irreconcilable!"
"Irreconcilable!"
When everyone saw Jiang Yan cry, the depression in their hearts immediately turned into endless grief and indignation.
Suddenly, their morale was even higher than before.
"..."
Chen Xi stared dumbfoundedly at the scene in front of him.
Everyone surrounded Jiang Yan and made bold statements. Jiang Yan, on the other hand, occupied Jiang Fengyan's young body. His face revealed an expression of great comfort … … … … ….
The more he looked at it, the more awkward he felt.
Therefore, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
This old fellow was really ruthless. He actually managed to win back the hearts of the people with just a few words …
Although he didn't know the real purpose of Jiang Yan, Chen Xi was now convinced by this old fellow from the bottom of his heart.
No matter what Jiang Yan did, at least …
He dared to raise the flag and become enemies with Tiandu, right?
After Jiang Yan's post-battle speech, the fighting spirit of the Jiang Clan was reignited.
Chen Xi was an outsider. Now that the crisis had been resolved, the Jiang Clan was busy cleaning up the battlefield and rebuilding their home. He naturally couldn't stay here and be an eyesore, so he left silently.
Before leaving, he also took the initiative to leave a restriction on Qixia Peak to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
In fact, Chen Xi also felt a little regretful in his heart.
After all, there was an old saying — —
If you cut the grass without removing the roots, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Today, he couldn't stop Wuxu. Who knew what would happen in the future …
In fact, with Wuxu's shiny equipment, Chen Xi absolutely didn't believe that he didn't have any life-saving skills.
Did he really think that Wuxu was a wild chicken on the roadside that could be killed at will?
Therefore, Chen Xi could only make up his mind now. If he could meet Wuxu again next time …
Even if he used underhanded tricks, he must suppress him. Today's situation must not happen again.
Chen Xi recalled what he saw today while flying back to Shang Jing.
It was almost time.
It was time to pick up Niannian from school.
… …
At the same time.
Far in the northernmost part of the earth, a figure suddenly appeared on an iceberg floating on the sea.
It was Wuxu.
After successfully escaping from Dai Yu Island, Wuxu flew all the way here in one breath.
If it wasn't for the fact that he used up so much energy, he would have directly flown to the moon …
This place was already remote enough.
Wuxu looked around. After confirming that there was no one here, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged on the iceberg.
As soon as he sat down, Wuxu felt a burst of tightness in his chest.
He didn't even have time to take out a pill from his Sumeru Mustard Seed Bag before coughing out a mouthful of blood.
The blood splattered on the pure white iceberg. It was particularly dazzling.
It was obvious that he had suffered a very serious internal injury.
However, this injury wasn't caused by Chen Xi. It was caused by himself.
Many animals would choose to use self-mutilation to escape when their lives were in danger. For example, geckos would cut off their tails, spiders would cut off their legs, sea cucumbers would spit out their organs, and so on …
The reason why Wuxu was able to escape from Chen Xi's eyes was because he used a method similar to this principle. That was — —
Blood Escape.
Using the Blood Escape would consume one's own essence blood. How important was essence blood to immortal cultivators?
Wuxu would never use it unless he had no other choice.
He was forced into a corner by Chen Xi.
However, no matter what, it was better to be injured than to die, right?
At the thought of this, Wuxu chuckled. He could not help but reveal a smug expression on his face.
Baihong and Shui Xiang didn't know how to use this secret technique …
He was the only one who knew how to use it.
"Mr. Chen, right? I'll remember you … "
"You'll let me have three moves first, right? Just you wait … "
"Next time, I'll let three hundred Divine Generals attack you once, and then I'll let you have three moves first!"
"I'll keep my word!"
Wuxu looked up at the sky and threatened.
However, he was so excited that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Do you think everything will be fine just because you've blocked the Divine Gate?"
"Hehehehe …"
At this moment, Wuxu had reverted back to his crazy self.
He was severely injured, but instead of healing himself, he sat on the iceberg and muttered to himself.
"Master once said …"
"The Soul Mirror will be unsealed within ten years …"
"Hmm, let me calculate the time …"
"One year in heaven, eight years on earth …"
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I'll have to stay in the lower realm for a full year?"
"Wait …"
"Doesn't that mean I'll lose ten years of my life for nothing?"
"No wonder no one wants to come to the lower realm!"
"Yuhuan Tianzun, oh Yuhuan Tianzun …"
"I'm going to lose big this time …"
"You'll have to make it up to me when the time comes!"
