Above the planet, it was dead silent.
Lu An and the Spirit Race clansmen appeared in front of everyone at the gathering place. The Spirit Clan member fell to the ground because he had rushed forward too quickly. Lu An's body was in great pain because he had forcefully activated the Realm of the Demon Gods. Coupled with his previous injuries, his legs turned to jelly and he almost fell to the ground.
After seeing the Spirit Clan member, Fu Mao immediately used his power to suppress him. He could not even self-destruct. Fu Yu immediately rushed to Lu An's side and supported him.
"Husband!" Fu Yu's voice changed. It was clearly trembling. But she did not say much. She immediately took out an elixir and fed it to Lu An.
This was the Fu Clan's elixir. Heavenly Water had the healing power of an expert. Although it was not as good as an immortal elixir, it was definitely a top-notch healing elixir.
Indeed, after the elixir entered his body, he immediately felt a refreshing coolness. The Heavenly Water quickly spread throughout his body and healed his injuries. Heavenly Water even had another ability that was not as good as an immortal elixir. That was the ability to heal one's consciousness. Heavenly Water was related to consciousness. Lu An immediately felt the fatigue in his body disappear. Even his consciousness became clearer.
Looking at his wife in front of him, Lu An smiled from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that he would not see Fu Yu again. But his smile quickly disappeared. It was replaced by an extremely heavy expression.
"The planet should have exploded," Lu An said in a low voice.
"…"
Immediately, everyone present trembled. They immediately looked at the returning Fu Clan members!
There were 40 of them when they left. Now, including Lu An, only 34 of them returned. That meant … six of them stayed on the planet and did not return.
This meant … death.
The scene was deathly silent. Even if each clan had their own thoughts, apart from the Chu and Jiang clans, none of the other clans would rejoice over this matter.
Every single one of them who had died was the fighting force of the Heavenly Star River. From the start of the war two years ago until now, as the leader of the Hachiko clan, the Fu Clan had already paid a heavy price, causing everyone's hearts to feel heavy.
In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Fu Yu and Lu An. As the frontline commander, Fu Yu naturally had to take responsibility for the deaths of the six soldiers. As for Lu An …
"I'm sorry," Lu An said guiltily as he looked at his wife.
Lu An was blaming himself. He was the one who said that Xing Chen's aura was very weak. If it wasn't for him, this battle wouldn't have happened, and the six Fu Clan members wouldn't have lost their lives.
Every Heaven Tier martial artist was a genius, not to mention a Heaven Tier martial artist from the Fu Clan. Other than apologizing, Lu An could not say a word.
"I was the one who gave the order. It's not your fault." Fu Yu looked at Lu An. Although her voice was low, it was also very calm. She said, "I don't regret my decision either. Casualties are inevitable in war."
As she spoke, Fu Yu paused, and her eyes became even more serious. She continued, "The battle between the Heavenly King Realm martial artists has not ended. The number of casualties on both sides is still unknown. We might not have lost."
When everyone heard Fu Yu's words, they all took a deep breath. That was indeed the case. Although the deaths were very painful, this mission was to find the Spirit Race people. Even if they knew that there were people around, they would still go and kill them. Casualties were inevitable in war. If one was afraid of death, then one shouldn't go to war.
The greatest respect for death in war was to make every death meaningful. Most of the time, meaning came from exchanging the lives of more enemies.
Everyone stood on the Xing Chen and continued to wait, waiting for the Heavenly King Realm martial artists to return. The fact that the battle between the two Heavenly Kings could last for so long meant that both sides were evenly matched before reinforcements arrived. At the very least, it wasn't a one-sided battle. When the seven Heavenly King Realm martial artists arrived, the battle situation would change immediately.
If they could kill any Heavenly King Realm martial artist without any Heavenly King Realm martial artists on their side dying, this battle would be won by the Hachiko Clan!
Finally, after waiting for another ten breaths, the spatial ripples appeared again. Everyone on the Xing Chen's Xing Chen immediately looked over and saw many people walking out of the spatial ripples.
They were the Heavenly King Realm martial artists!
One martial artist after another walked out of the spatial ripples. Just as the first person to walk out was about to say something to everyone, he suddenly realized that Lu An and the rest of the Fu Clan members had already returned. His face was immediately filled with shock. Fifteen Heavenly King Realm martial artists walked out one after another. Many of them were injured, and not lightly at that. The last person to walk out was the Fu Clan's Heavenly King Realm martial artist, Fu Heng. He walked out with a heavy heart, but when he saw the Heaven Realm martial artists of the Fu Clan, he was immediately overjoyed!
He thought that these people were all dead!
From great sorrow to great joy, Fu Heng's eyes suddenly widened and became extremely bright. Even a Heavenly King Realm expert could not calm down. He hurriedly asked Yu Yu and Fu Mao in surprise, "What's going on?!"
"It's Lu An. He sent everyone back before the Xing Chen exploded. A total of thirty-four people returned," Fu Mao said.
Hearing Fu Mao's words, Fu Heng was so agitated that his body trembled. Even if six of them died, it was still better than being completely wiped out. Fu Heng's eyes were actually red!
"What about you guys?" Fu Mao immediately asked the question he was most concerned about. "How was the battle? How were the Spirit Tribe's casualties? "
"As you can see, none of us died." Fu Heng was really too tired. It had been far too long since he had used the last bit of his strength in a battle. The battle between Heaven Realm martial artists was simply too long for a Heavenly King Realm martial artist. He said, "The Spirit Tribe has a total of ten Heavenly King Realm martial artists. We have been fighting each other for a very long time. Fortunately, all eight of our clans were here. We cooperated with each other. Furthermore, the Spirit Tribe members had many different attributes, which made it very difficult for them to find a breakthrough. That was why we were able to hold on for so long. During the battle, some of our power struck the Xing Chen Star. In addition, the explosion at the beginning of the battle caused the Xing Chen Star to be destroyed. "
"Originally, we were at a disadvantage. Although we were able to hold on, it was very difficult for us to win. In fact, we did not even have a chance of winning," Fu Heng continued. "Later, they came to our aid and turned the situation around. These Spirit Tribe members did not want to continue fighting and were preparing to retreat. However, at that moment, we saw the distant Xing Chen Star light up. One was the signal for the Fu Clan to retreat, while the other was the signal for the Spirit Tribe. Both were clearly visible in the vast universe. "
"We all knew that the Xing Chen Star was about to explode. None of us expected that our clansmen had not left yet. In order to save them, we immediately rushed towards the Xing Chen Star. However, our battle remained in place while the Xing Chen Star had already flown far away. It would take some time for us to catch up to the Xing Chen Star. We had a tacit understanding with the Spirit Tribe. Neither of us tried to stop the other. Otherwise, it would only delay the rescue. Among us, Brother Li Shou is the fastest. "
Fu Heng looked at Li Shou. Everyone else also looked at Li Shou. Li Shou nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said, "However, there was one person among the Spirit Tribe who was extremely fast. Furthermore, the Xing Chen Star's blood-red light continued to shine while the blue light did not last for long. I arrived at the same time as this Spirit Tribe member. However, the moment we arrived at the Xing Chen Star, the Xing Chen Star exploded. After I survived the explosion, I discovered that this Spirit Tribe member had already brought the other Spirit Tribe members that he had saved and flew in another direction. I chased after them for a while, but I was unable to catch up to them before they escaped using spatial teleportation. "
"… …"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Did this mean that this Spirit Tribe member had succeeded?
"Did you see how many people he saved?" Fu Yu asked.
"I don't know the exact number." Li Shou looked at Fu Yu and said, "However, it should be around twenty people."
Twenty people?
Fu Minghe's body trembled violently. He hurriedly said to Fu Yu, "Young Master, there are forty-seven people fighting against us!"
Forty-seven people?
In that case, it was very likely that twenty-six Spirit Tribe members had died. Of course, there was still one Spirit Tribe member in front of them. It was no different from announcing his death.
Six members of the Fu Clan in exchange for twenty-seven lives of the Spirit Tribe members. This was called a meaningful death. Their deaths were very valuable!
However, even so, the people who had died were her own people. Fu Yu's heart felt heavy and uncomfortable. No matter what, today's operation had come to an end. Everything that had happened during the battle would have to be summarized and discussed at length.
Fu Yu took a deep breath, looked at the commanders of the seven clans, and said, "Let's go back."
The commanders of the seven clans nodded without hesitation. This operation had greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. It was time to go back and summarize everything.
