In the Training Pearl, many voices sounded as if their tails had been stepped on.
"Hengyi, you can't do this! You have so many achievements that you don't consider others?"
"None of us expected this accident! Just because an almost impossible accident happened, we should give up our achievements? That's not fair to everyone!"
The man who was angrily swinging his sword and slaughtering the Shadow Clan heard many such voices and roared in rage, "People have died! Because of these damn achievements, the beautiful goddesses and their three sisters have died! You're still thinking about achievements? I'll tell you, if you don't clear them, I will!"
Someone in the Training Pearl angrily rebuked, "What are you? A Mountain Venerable Third Level captain has the right to be arrogant? I didn't hold you accountable just now because you were grieving, but now you're really being unreasonable! If you have the ability, come and try! See what you can do to clear our Shadow Clan! You come in straight and leave sideways!"
"If you have the ability, kill me! I have to come no matter what! I don't care how high your cultivation is, what your status is, or who the hell you are!"
"Good, you have guts! Come if you dare!"
For a moment, the Training Pearl turned into a place of mutual insults.
Many people who were originally sad chose to remain silent. They all sympathized with the misfortune of the three goddesses, but sympathy is one thing, and sacrificing achievements is another. Some of them had special secret feelings for the three goddesses, so they couldn't openly oppose.
"I, Hengyi, will come."
Especially when Hengyi's firm and unyielding voice echoed in the Training Pearl, many who were about to speak closed their mouths.
Only some people with intense tempers couldn't control their emotions and protested.
"Hengyi, this isn't right! Everyone is grateful that you killed seventy-one and saved many people at a critical moment, but you can't do this! If you do this, don't blame me for being ungrateful and not considering you a friend in the future!"
"I will definitely come." In the Training Pearl, Hengyi's firm voice, suppressed with grief, echoed again.
Those people realized that these words were useless and, in a hurry and anger, shouted in the Training Pearl, "Chen Zizai, how do you lead your team? How can you let your team members do such things?"
"How I lead my team is none of your business! Hengyi, come back first." In front of outsiders, Chen Zizai didn't argue with Hengyi, didn't even show whether he supported or opposed, and his words to Hengyi were very calm.
"Coming."
In the Training Pearl, more opposing voices arose. Seeing Chen Zizai's ambiguous attitude, these people couldn't hold back, fearing that Hengyi would really do such a thing. Some spoke tactfully, some spoke fiercely, but in any case, they were all opposing voices.
More people remained silent, not expressing their opinions in the Training Pearl, just wanting to see how things would develop.
At this moment, Hengyi had already flown back to the team, with Hei Yue following behind.
Seeing her return, Hu Baijie was somewhat unhappy, suspecting that Hei Yue had been with Hengyi watching the sea, and her attitude toward Hei Yue instantly turned cold.
Wang Bupa came forward, pulling Hengyi to sit down, and said with a smile, "Brother Hengyi! Everyone is very sad about the misfortune of the three goddesses, and the men of Northeast Xiangshan are even more sad! But the incident has already happened, and it's too late to not earn achievements now! Just because of this, everyone should stop earning achievements? This, this really doesn't make sense... Calm down and think about it, is that right?"
"I've thought about it for more than a day, enough. Because I thought for too long, the three goddesses died! Now I won't think about anything else, I'm back to act." The Soul Unity Sword appeared in Hengyi's hand, and he held the sword, looking at Chen Zizai.
The latter's face darkened, already not looking good. Seeing Hengyi's firm attitude, he endured his displeasure and advised, "It's not appropriate, you heard it, doing this will anger everyone."
"Then I'll do it myself." Hengyi said, and in a flash, he flew toward the valley—
Hei Yue followed him.
Chen Zizai, furious, turned around and roared at Hengyi, "Hengyi, come back! I'm the captain, have you forgotten the rules? I order you to come back!"
Hu Baijie's heart trembled, realizing that Chen Zizai was truly angry, which was different from when Hengyi turned back to charge the Shadow Clan alone. This anger was even more intense!
She wanted to mediate, but knew that speaking up for Hengyi would only make Chen Zizai angrier, and speaking up for Chen Zizai was something she didn't want to do. Although she cared about achievements, she cared more about Hengyi.
Hai Yuntian and Hai Shan were also in an awkward situation. Although they cared about achievements, if Hengyi insisted, they didn't mind giving up their achievements.
But Chen Zizai and Hengyi were arguing, and any words would only escalate the conflict. Hengyi's appearance made it clear that he wouldn't listen to advice. Hai Yuntian was puzzled by Chen Zizai's intense anger, not believing that Chen Zizai cared so much about such a small amount of achievements.
Wang Bupa, at a loss, watched, not skilled at mediating such conflicts, especially within the team. He could only call out in pain, "Don't kill our side, that's our team!"
Hengyi ignored him, and Hei Yue continuously created black energy spheres with her hands, shooting them out one after another, each easily killing a dozen young Shadow Clan members.
"Hengyi! I'm the captain—" Chen Zizai roared, his voice like thunder, shaking some rocks in the valley.
Hengyi stopped and turned, looking at the angry Chen Zizai from a distance. "Brother Chen, if you say so, by the rules, you are the senior, so you are the captain. Then—I challenge you now, if I win, I become the senior, and I decide."
Chen Zizai was stunned...
The others listening were equally stunned.
Hu Baijie was secretly anxious, but was in a difficult situation where anything she said would be wrong!
This was a real conflict, a real conflict!
Hengyi's stubbornness and Chen Zizai's loss of control would only make things worse.
"What did you say!" Chen Zizai, breathing heavily, clenched his fists tightly after a brief daze! He stared at Hengyi in the valley, both shocked and angry. "Are you crazy! Or are you stupid! Do you dare speak to me like this? Do you know who you are, do you know who I am! Have I been too good to you, good enough for you to forget that I can decide your life and death with a word!"
Hengyi's unyielding attitude made Chen Zizai so angry that he could only breathe heavily for a while, saying things he shouldn't have said in his intense and uncontrollable state.
"I haven't forgotten, but today I will insist on doing this."
But Hengyi's attitude didn't waver at all!
He wouldn't waver, and Chen Zizai knew that such words would have no effect on Hengyi!
But he said it, because he was already furious.
"Fine, fine! Come, come and challenge me! See if you can win me! Do I, Chen Zizai, fear you? Your magical techniques and skills can't be used continuously without killing, do you think no one can see through that? What advantage do you have in a one-on-one fight! I'll show you who I am today, Chen Zizai! Otherwise, you'll be so confident, treating me like a soft target!" Chen Zizai's pink magical fan suddenly opened, pointing at Hengyi, challenging him in a rage. "I'll burn you to ashes today, or I won't be Chen Zizai! Come over and die—"
At this moment, she wished she could burn Hengyi to ashes with her fire magic and be done with it!
Hu Baijie, seeing that a real fight was about to break out, knew she had to speak up. Just as she was about to mediate, Hai Shan, unable to bear it, jumped out, flying to a hill in front of Chen Zizai, hovering in the air, raising her arm to block the two. "Hey! What are you doing! Hengyi, you're really lacking in sense, the captain risked her life for you, and you're still worried about these achievements?"
"Don't talk nonsense to this heartless bastard, I'll burn him to ashes today! Come over and die—"
Hai Yuntian was secretly puzzled by Chen Zizai's earlier words, especially the "bastard" part, and found it strange that she was so angry but only called for Hengyi to come over and die, without rushing out herself.
Compared to Chen Zizai's uncontrollable rage, Hengyi remained resolute, without any impulsive anger or softening of his stance. "Brother Chen, I know you're good to me. If you're in danger, I'm willing to risk my life to save you, but I won't do anything that sacrifices lives for achievements. I've been troubled for a day and a night, unsure whether to do this. Because of my hesitation, the three goddesses were harmed. I won't hesitate anymore, I don't want anyone else to be harmed needlessly. We survived the battle with the Shadow Clan, but now we have to pay with unnecessary lives? The mutants today were quickly dealt with in Xu Dage's team, but if they appeared in other teams, more would die, and if they reached the human settlement on Seed Star, the deaths would be unimaginable. I must do this today, and if Brother Chen uses his position as captain to stop me, I will offend you, but I must insist."
"Come! Come on!" Chen Zizai waved her magical fan from a distance, challenging him angrily, but still didn't rush over herself.
Hai Shan, anxious, stomped her feet in the air, unable to bear it any longer, and scolded, "Hengyi, you're really lacking in sense! The captain isn't worried about achievements or offending others! Do you know the captain's character? She doesn't care about offending Xu Dage, let alone others? You're wrong today, he's the captain! You should talk to him properly and explain, can he not support you? We would all be willing to accompany you! But you don't give him any face, making him lose his dignity, and there are people from other teams watching. If this gets out, they'll laugh at him! How can you not understand this?"
Hengyi was slightly stunned, he really hadn't thought about these things, hadn't understood or considered them.
Hai Shan, after scolding Hengyi, quickly comforted Chen Zizai, "Captain, you've always been calm and wise, why are you arguing with Hengyi today? You know his character, he's invincible in battle but a fool in human relations. After someone dies, he feels guilty and regrets, and doesn't think about these details. Arguing with him will only make you half-dead with anger."
Hu Baijie quickly joined in, "Hengyi, you are wrong, you've made the captain lose face. He's a person of status, how can he face others if he can't control his team? Apologize and explain yourself."
Hengyi scratched his head, realizing the truth. He had been puzzled about why Chen Zizai cared so much about those achievements. He looked at Chen Zizai from a distance, clasped his hands in a bow, and apologized sincerely, "Brother Chen, I was wrong just now, I only thought about clearing the Shadow Clan and didn't communicate with you properly."
Chen Zizai looked up with a dismissive expression, and Hai Shan quickly added a few more words.
Chen Zizai coldly said, "I'm telling you, today I'm not holding it against you for the sake of Hai Shan and Hu Baijie. Otherwise, I would have burned you to ashes! Now I order you to clear the Shadow Clan, and I won't care who stands in the way!"
"Yes!" Hu Baijie and Hai Shan, knowing that Chen Zizai had accepted the apology, quickly and solemnly clasped their hands in a bow to accept the order.
