Before Zi Xi's arrival, everyone had thought that there were only a few Heaven Stage Gufeng that had joined forces to deal with the Duxu Peak after seeing that the Duxu Peak had been in the limelight recently.
But now that even the Netherworld Peak had joined in, the significance was completely different.
Once the number one Peak, the Netherworld Peak, joined the crusade against the Duxu Peak, it represented a signal that all the Heaven Stage Gufeng would join forces to deal with the Duxu Peak!
Clearly, the Duxu Peak had become the target of public criticism and was being suppressed by the twelve Heaven Stage Gufeng!
As long as any disciple of the Duxu Peak thought of this scene, they would understand what it meant. It was no exaggeration to say that the Duxu Peak had really begun the countdown to its death.
"Creak!"
Just when all the Duxu Peak disciples in the hall were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, the door to the reception hall suddenly opened with a heavy sound. A light gray figure walked out from behind the door with an indifferent expression. It was Chu Chen, who had just finished his seclusion.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
Seeing Chu Chen walk over, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the Duxu Peak's Third Senior Brother, Han Ye, as he quickly walked up to Chu Chen.
"Eldest Senior Brother, our Duxu Peak is in danger! So far, we've discovered five Heaven Stage Gufeng laying down formations around our Duxu Peak. They are Asura Peak, Soul Beheading Peak, Alert Spirit Peak, Yuantu Peak, and Netherworld Peak! Each Peak is refining a blood red flag. It seems that the twelve Heaven Stage Gufeng have joined forces to deal with us! "
Han Ye's face was somewhat pale. If one looked closely, they would discover that his body was even slightly trembling …
Although Han Ye had obtained an ancient Confucian robe that allowed him to comprehend the Demon Heart Seed, his originally timid nature had changed quite a bit.
But after all, his timid nature had persisted for dozens of years. How could it be so easily changed?
Thus, he appeared particularly anxious when he encountered this situation.
"Yes, I already know about this matter."
Chu Chen nodded indifferently. His expression was neither sad nor happy, and he appeared to be very calm.
"Also … Eldest Senior Brother, the Heaven Stage Gufeng disciples have begun to seal the mountain, forbidding our Duxu Peak disciples from leaving! Looking at them, it seems that they plan to trap all of us in one fell swoop. Now, would you like to tear an opening so that some of our disciples can leave first? "
In his anxiety, he seemed to have lost some sense of propriety. He grabbed Chu Chen's arm, hoping that he would listen to his opinion.
Before Chu Chen could say anything, Feng Qiang, who was beside him, rushed forward and pulled Han Ye's hand off.
"Han Ye! Pay attention to your actions! Since Eldest Senior Brother said that he already knows, it means that he already has a plan in his heart. Why are you still talking nonsense here? "
Feng Qiang's roar startled Han Ye. He hurriedly bowed to Chu Chen apologetically.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm sorry. I lost some sense of propriety. It's just that we're in a dangerous situation now. Why don't we gather everyone's strength and tear an opening to let some of us escape, then … "
"Alright, alright. Your idea isn't feasible at all!"
Chu Chen was about to say something when Feng Qiang waved his hand impatiently. "Since they've already decided to seal the mountain, I'm afraid they've already thought of a backup plan. They won't give us a chance to escape!"
"But if that's the case …"
As Han Ye and Feng Qiang argued incessantly, Chu Chen simply ignored them. Instead, he walked to Zi Xi. When he looked at the purple-haired girl with a calm and indifferent gaze, there was an inexplicable gentleness in his eyes.
"Right now, they're setting up a large formation. I'm afraid they've already decided to seal off the entire Duxu Peak. However, ever since you've entered the Duxu Peak, you've rarely walked outside. Therefore, most people don't recognize you and don't treat you as an important person. Right now, you still have a chance to escape. Let's go. I'll help you lure away those Gufeng disciples. With your strength, breaking out of the encirclement shouldn't be too difficult. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chen grabbed the purple-haired girl's hand and walked out of the hall.
One could clearly feel the pulse of the grey-clothed youth's dry hand beating violently. It was as if the blood in his body was boiling, burning, and roaring.
This was Chu Chen's decision!
"I'm not leaving."
A strange feeling welled up in her heart. Zi Xi furrowed her brows. After staring blankly for a while, she suddenly understood Chu Chen's meaning.
The girl fiercely shook off Chu Chen's hand. Her usually cold and indifferent face was now filled with stubbornness. "I'm not leaving!"
"If you stay here, you'll lose your life in vain. There's no meaning to it at all."
Chu Chen stared at the purple-haired girl's slightly agitated eyes. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn. "If you leave now, you can still live. However, if you continue to stay here, the chances of you dying are very high."
Zi Xi's heart trembled. She didn't know why, but her rationality told her that Chu Chen was right. Now was the best time to leave.
However, there was a faint voice in her heart. That voice was telling her not to leave, not to leave …
At this moment, a slight hesitation appeared on Zi Xi's calm and delicate face. Her pair of amethyst-like eyes stared deeply at Chu Chen.
The girl's lips curled up slightly. With determination, stubbornness, and a trace of indescribable determination, she gently shook her head. "I'm not leaving. I didn't receive orders from Master to leave. I must continue to stay in the Duxu Peak."
"But …"
Chu Chen's expression was full of helplessness. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the girl resolutely shake her head. Her delicate, pretty face was like a fairy from the ninth heaven, filled with unquestionable determination.
"There's no need to say anything more. Master hasn't given me permission to leave, so I can't leave."
After silently pondering for a moment, Chu Chen finally nodded. "Alright."
He then turned around and walked back into the reception hall without saying anything else.
As she watched the grey-robed youth's calm and even somewhat apathetic back, the purple-haired girl's heart suddenly surged with many thoughts.
To be honest, if she thought about it carefully, she herself didn't know why she wasn't willing to leave.
She had even lied. Lord Changsheng had clearly given her permission to leave, but she had stubbornly clung to Master's orders and refused to leave!
She herself didn't know why she had lied. However, when she faced Chu Chen for a second, she seemed to have lost control. She only wanted to stay, to stay by his side.
There was no doubt that the Duxu Peak was now a life and death situation. To her, the best choice was to take advantage of the fact that the terrifying array formation had yet to fully take shape and leave as soon as possible.
In the process of learning and cultivating from Lord Changsheng, Zi Xi had experienced countless life-and-death battles.
Her long years of killing had already instilled in her an instinct: no matter when, where, no matter what situation she encountered, her first priority was to preserve her own life.
