Chu Kang remained silent.
Honestly, Chu Kang already had the intention to retreat.
Continuing the fight would indeed lead to annihilation.
The Seventh Princess knelt on the ground all at once.
"Old Ancestors, I beg you, continue the fight!!! Please!" The Seventh Princess knelt on the ground, covered in blood.
She knew she had been selfish, had been willful.
She liked Su Chen, deeply loved him, but she had no right to invite the entire Xuanfeng Imperial Family to their doom.
Yet, knowing she was being selfish, she couldn’t control herself, just this once, for love, she would be selfish and willful!
The moment the Seventh Princess knelt down, Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net
Mo Qingwu, Liu Xi, Lan Su, Ling Long, Xu Yaoyao, and all of Su Chen’s women, also knelt down.
"We beg you!!!" Mo Qingwu and the other women pleaded.
Kneeling to Chu Kang was not just a plea, but also gratitude. They were Su Chen’s women; they could die for Su Chen, disregard their lives, disregard everything.
But Chu Kang and the others, who weren’t closely related to Su Chen, were fighting desperately here.
This was a favor that couldn’t be repaid, this kneeling was well-deserved for Elder Chu Kang.
"We beg for battle!!!" The next moment, led by Zhao Wuwei, the few hundred remaining disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect also suddenly knelt down. Although they were the weakest among all present, at this moment, whether they were their own people or those led by the Royal Family of the Wanlong Dynasty, no one would mock or look down on them anymore, because they were all stunned.
The way these disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect fought was almost through self-destruction.
Such a method of fighting dramatically shook everyone’s hearts.
They were worthy of respect.
"We beg for battle!!!" Subsequently, the students from the Holy Spirit Academy also knelt down one after another.
Then, many more people knelt down.
"Ah..." Chu Kang sighed. His mood was complex. This scene in front of him was something he hadn’t expected at all. These people were seeking death! Continuing the fight meant true death!
Chu Kang, remained silent.
Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.
High in the sky, thousands of miles from the Burning Heaven Mountain Range, Su Chen silently tensed, his face pale. He stood on the back of a Winged Jiao, gripping tightly with his hands.
He really was in a rush!
His heart was churning.
He rarely lost his composure, but in fact, since he had received the news, he had been constantly out of composure, his mind on the verge of collapse. He was holding himself back.
"Nothing must go wrong, I must make it in time!" Su Chen silently repeated in his heart, his breathing extremely oppressed.
The four servers from the Royal Auction House standing behind Su Chen also remained silent, not disturbing him.
"There’s only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn left, we should make it soon," Su Chen gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Jiuyou, I am actually afraid. I’m afraid I’m too late, I’m afraid Yuan’er and the children are taken away, I’m afraid the Burning Heaven Sect is destroyed, I’m afraid of seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, I’m afraid!"
He really was afraid!
In Su Chen’s memory, since his rebirth, this was the first time he had been afraid.
Suddenly, Su Chen held his head with both hands and let out a roar, "Aaaah..."
The torment inside was too much.
"Young boy Su, everything is still uncertain, don’t scare yourself," Jiuyou comforted.
"Jiuyou, if I hadn’t spent ten days cultivating in the Vast Mountain, if I hadn’t foolishly tried to grow herbs... if I hadn’t wasted time, if I hadn’t shown off at the Seventh Princess’s birthday banquet, if..." Su Chen’s voice was hoarse.
"Su Chen, enough! Cast aside those negative emotions! There is still the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! You will know the result soon! Don’t be afraid! You are Su Chen! When have you ever been afraid on your journey here?" Jiuyou shouted.
Within Qingyou Pavilion.
Gu Yuan, who had awakened from a coma, finally showed no expression on her face and shed no more tears.
"Jun Luo, let’s go outside!" Gu Yuan said in a firm voice.
"Are you choosing death?" Yoo Junluo knew what Gu Yuan was thinking.
"My life is a life. The life inside my belly is a life. Are the lives of those who keep getting killed, those who blow themselves up, not lives? It is Su Chen who owes them, it is I, Gu Yuan, who owes them, it’s the child in my belly who owes them!" Gu Yuan said slowly, her beautiful eyes completely bloody, pain indescribable: "They have already sacrificed enough, do we really have to watch each one of them die?"
She was unharmed, but it was a torturous existence, a suffering worse than death.
Her being unharmed, her being safe, was all traded for with lives!
How many more must die?
No life is more precious than another!
"Have you thought it through?" Yoo Junluo didn’t try to persuade her anymore, in fact, her heart was already dying. Wasn’t she also living a fate worse than death, wasn’t she too devastated, despairing, self-blaming, and guilty to the core?
"I have thought it through," Gu Yuan nodded heavily.
"Then let’s go outside!" Yoo Junluo took a deep breath.
Then, the two women walked toward the door.
Everyone turned to look at the two women.
"Go inside!!! Gu Yuan, Yoo Junluo, I order you to go inside! All of you~~ just go in!" In the dead silence, Zhao Wuwei screamed, his face ferocious, roaring like a madman.
"Second Elder, I’m sorry... sorry, sob sob sob..." Gu Yuan couldn’t control herself, crying like a child: "I... I really..."
"Gu Yuan, go inside, the bloodline in your belly is Brother Su’s bloodline, all of these people who have sacrificed, bled, fought, and self-exploded, what was it all for?" the Seventh Princess’s eyes were fierce, she suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Yuan and said each word firmly: "Go back to the attic!"
"What are you doing back in the attic? Has Miss Gu Yuan realized something?" Qin Feiwu stared intensely at Gu Yuan, his gaze almost devouring. It wasn’t because of Gu Yuan’s beauty but the longing for the child in her belly, desiring Su Chen’s bloodline.
"Second Elder, both Gu Yuan and the child are laden with deep sins! If this continues! If all of you die! Even if I live, even if the child lives, living is tantamount to being dead!" Gu Yuan raised her head, wiped her tears, and said quietly.
Gu Yuan respectfully knelt down, facing Zhao Wuwei, facing Chu Kang and the others: "All the seniors, all the brothers and sisters, your kindness, Gu Yuan, will never forget it for all eternity, nor can she ever repay it! Please, accept this bow from Gu Yuan!"
Gu Yuan respectfully kowtowed.
"It seems, the right choice is about to be made," Qin Feiwu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Gu Yuan was preparing to go with him, which was good because if Chu Kang and the others continued to fight, even though they were confident they could win, it would come at a great cost.
