System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

As one Jiang clan member after another raised their hands, all eyes finally focused on Chen Xuan and his servant.

Although Chen Xuan and Bai Li were not members of the Jiang clan, after experiencing this life-and-death experience together, in a sense, whether they were clan members or not no longer mattered.

When all the Jiang clan members' eyes were focused on them, Chen Xuan did not give an immediate answer. Instead, he turned to Bai Li with a smile and asked softly, "Do you agree to this plan?"

Bai Li had watched Longxia grow from nothing to its current size with great difficulty, how could she give up so easily?

"I absolutely refuse to accept this, I disagree!" Bai Li was a woman of strong character, and upon hearing Chen Xuan's question, she gave him the answer he expected without hesitation.

"Since Bai Li doesn't agree, how could I, Chen Xuan, be willing to give up this hard-won stronghold in Zelinhai?"

Chen Xuan turned his gaze back to the Jiang clan members who were stunned and dumbfounded, and slowly said, "Since your battle formation of eighteen people can no longer provide effective assistance, then this time, I, Chen Xuan and my servant, will personally go into battle and engage in a life-or-death struggle with the enemy."

The reason Chen Xuan hadn't made his stance clear before was to test whether the Jiang clan would choose to sacrifice the Longxia tribe in this desperate situation, thus buying them time to escape.

Clearly, the Jiang clan successfully passed this test of adversity. They had wholeheartedly accepted the alliance with the Longxia tribe.

In this way, Chen Xuan no longer needed to hide his strength.

As expected, when Chen Xuan said these words, Jiang Tianxiao was slightly taken aback, scratched his head, and looked back at Jiang Ming, Jiang Shan, and the other clansmen.

The clansmen whose gaze swept over Jiang Tianxiao all showed the same expression.

Clearly, Jiang Tianxiao hadn't misheard; Chen Xuan was indeed going to personally intervene.

Indeed, Chen Xuan, who was only at the Innate Realm and had not even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, was actually going to fight against the combined formation of eighteen Foundation Establishment Realm disciples from the Cangyun Ridge sect, and also to compete against Hei Song, who had used the Heaven and Earth Divine Power.

"Young friend Chen Xuan, we all understand your feelings."

After years of wandering, you've finally found a suitable place to settle down, so naturally you're unwilling to give it up easily.

We understand all of this.

However, the strength that Cangyun Ridge has now demonstrated is beyond our ability to contend with.

"Yes, young friend Chen Xuan, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. Please don't do anything foolish. According to the clan leader's plan, perhaps many members of our two clans can still survive."

"Little friend..."

All the members of the Jiang clan were determined to die, but this method of dying, aimed at delaying the inevitable, at least gave them a glimmer of hope.

However, if we don't evacuate our people and instead fight to the death with the disciples of Cangyun Ridge, then it will truly be meaningless.

Chen Xuan smiled as he looked at the crowd who were earnestly trying to comfort him, and said softly, "As far as I, Chen Xuan, am concerned, array formations are merely a side path that I am distracted from studying. My greatest expertise is definitely not array formations."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Jiang Tianxiao and the others were all taken aback, looking at him with suspicion, clearly unable to understand what he meant.

At such a young age, Chen Xuan's skills in array formations are already comparable to those of a core disciple of a sect.

For them, this was already an unattainable height. Now, hearing Chen Xuan's words sounded like shockingly outrageous and monstrous pronouncements.

And you even said that the art of formations is just a side path that you're distracted by? Are you trying to defy the heavens? Formations are the great path, yet you've called it a side path.

Of course, faced with such arrogant words, no member of the Jiang clan dared to show disdain to his face; they only looked at Chen Xuan with worry.
