C4205 Fight!
"Reporting to Lord, the Dragon Palace's army has begun to counterattack."
"Reporting to Lord, Dragon Palace's army is still one thousand nautical miles away."
"Reporting to Lord. Dragon Palace's army is still five hundred nautical miles away."
...
One by one, the news floated over like snowflakes and gathered in the Cloud Pavilion on the Heavenly Sea Island.
Chen Xiao sat in the middle, not saying a word. Fu Xue, Gu Shi, and the other two stood beside him, while Qin Daoyuan, Senior Sister Huo Yuan, and the others stood silently at the side with incomparably solemn expressions.
As the Dragon Palace's army continued to approach, the tense and murderous atmosphere enveloped the entire Cloud Pavilion.
Not only the Cloud Pavilion, but the hundreds of thousands of cultivators on the Heavenly Sea Island below also had solemn expressions on their faces as they raised their heads to look at Chen Xiao, waiting for his orders.
As long as Chen Xiao was still around, their morale would still be there.
Chen Xiao had a relaxed and calm expression on his face as he stuffed the grapes into his mouth. As he ate, he asked, "Brother Qin, what do you think we should do in this battle?"
Under the gazes of everyone present, the group of Tribulation Transcenders all cast their gazes at Qin Daoyuan.
Among them, there were also people like Xiao Heng and Zhao Haosheng who harbored evil intentions.
However, due to Chen Xiao's power, no one dared to disobey.
Qin Daoyuan pondered for a moment, then took a step forward and cupped his fists. He said, "We should follow the original plan. The ten great families will lead the charge and stand at the forefront to welcome the enemy with all their might. We will fight to the death with the Dragon Palace and will never retreat."
As soon as Qin Daoyuan said this, it immediately caused a commotion. Many of the elder families' Tribulation Transcenders revealed a troubled expression, and some were even worried.
Xiao Heng and Zhao Haosheng looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear. They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to rashly say anything.
When Chen Xiao heard this, he smiled indifferently and said, "Since no one has any objections, then let's do as Brother Qin says."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The crowd of Tribulation Transcenders all agreed without a second word.
They also knew that they had reached this point, and there was no other choice. Riches came from danger, and with Chen Xiao here, their chances of winning were not small.
If they cowered now, not only would they be despised by tens of thousands of people, they would also be punished by Chen Xiao, and the gains would not be worth the losses.
In this case, advancing forward was the best way out.
"Alright, the Heavenly Sea Island's cultivator army will be personally commanded by Brother Qin. Everyone, get into position. As for the opponent's immortal-level combat strength, I'll deal with it."
Chen Xiao stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"Yes."
All the Tribulation Transcenders nodded, then turned around and left to lead the way.
Especially the Tribulation Transcenders from the ten great elder families, their expressions were even more solemn, and they had the courage to face death with equanimity.
At this time, Qin Daoyuan took a step back and said with concern, "Chen Xiao, be careful."
"Yes, I will. Brother Qin, you too," Chen Xiao replied.
Qin Daoyuan looked deeply at Chen Xiao, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. Only then did he turn around and leave.
"Don't try to be brave. If you can't do it, you have to save your life first," Senior Sister Huo Yuan said softly.
In her eyes, Chen Xiao was just like her little junior brother. Although his strength was stronger than hers, this kind of friendship was real.
"Yes, I will. I'm not stupid. Senior Sister, don't worry about me."
Chen Xiao chuckled and said.
"Then I can rest assured."
Senior Sister Huo Yuan then left.
"Chen Xiao, take care." Su Wei said.
"Chen Xiao, take care," Gu Li stepped forward and said.
"You too."
After a simple farewell, the group of people parted ways and returned to their own groups. After the preparations were completed, they were ready to fight.
Seeing that, Chen Xiao rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "Why do you look like you are leaving to die? Hey, are you so unconfident?"
"With the captain here, we will definitely win this battle," Zuo Zhao said with a face full of certainty.
"Yes, we won't lose. What does a mere Dragon Palace count as? We will definitely beat them until they piss their pants," Gu Feng agreed.
Fu Xue was more melancholy and sentimental. She was more realistic and said, "The final victory will definitely belong to us. However, after this battle, it is unknown how many familiar faces will survive."
"Yeah, captain, we will definitely win this battle," Gu Lanyue said in a low voice.
Chen Xiao's gaze focused, looking at the four of them, and he did not speak for a long time.
After a moment, he gave the order, "Gu Lanyue, you continue to lead the Seven Stars Immortal Gathering Formation and wait for an opportunity. Gu Feng, you will protect her from the side."
"Yes, sir," said Gu Lan Yue solemnly.
"Yes, sir," said Gu Feng.
"Fu Xue and Zuo Zhao, you two will follow me and wait for an opportunity to strike," Chen Xiao said.
"Yes, sir."
Fu Xue and Zuo Zhao exchanged a glance and immediately agreed.
After doing all this, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and became even more determined. He said, "Since the Dragon Palace dares to launch a counterattack, then let them see the determination of my Purple Cloud City. We will fight to the death."
"No retreat."
"No retreat."
Chen Xiao brought Fu Xue and Zuo Zhao and flew through the air, arriving above the Heavenly Sea Island and releasing the powerful aura of an immortal-level expert.
For a moment, countless cultivators on the Heavenly Sea Island below could clearly see Chen Xiao's figure as long as they raised their heads, and their morale was greatly boosted.
The cheers were like thunder that resounded in the air, deafening.
"Lord Chen Xiao, Lord Chen Xiao, long live Lord Chen Xiao."
"It's Lord Chen Xiao. As long as Lord Chen Xiao is on the Heavenly Sea Island, we will definitely win this battle."
"Lord Chen Xiao, long live Purple Cloud City. We will definitely win."
"Victory, victory."
For a moment, not only were the ordinary cultivators, even the group of Tribulation Transcenders were flushed with excitement. They did not hesitate to fight to the end.
It could be said that the presence of an immortal-level expert was a huge boost to their own combat strength.
"Look, Captain, countless people are looking up at us and cheering for us. This is awesome. I feel like my entire body is trembling."
Zuo Zhao said with incomparable excitement.
"Heh." Chen Xiao only smiled and did not say much.
Fu Xue rolled her eyes. "Calm down. Don't make a move blindly later. Listen to the captain. If you die, no one will collect your corpse for you."
Zuo Zhao was splashed with cold water. He chuckled and said, "There's still you."
"Pei, you shameless guy. I won't collect your corpse for you. You can just bury yourself in the sea after you die."
Fu Xue turned her head to the side and said stubbornly.
Zuo Zhao laughed loudly and did not say much. However, the mutual understanding between them had long been tacit.
At this moment, a Tribulation Transcender reported, "Sir, the Dragon Palace's counterattack army is still 300 nautical miles away."
"Sir, the Dragon Palace's counterattack army still has 100 nautical miles away."
"There are still 50 nautical miles."
"... 30 nautical miles."
"The Dragon Palace's army is beginning to accumulate strength and prepare to launch a long-range attack."
Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face tensed up. He stood up and gave the order loudly, "All formation masters, prepare to form a protective formation and block the attack."
No one responded, and no one made a sound. There was only silence and gradually heavy breathing.
Then, rays of light lit up on the array formation runes on the Heavenly Sea Island.
