All of a sudden, things went silent.

The crowd of 10,000 stared at Wu Yu in shock. They did not know what he was thinking, or what his objectives were.

The Mizar Sword Immortal had gave him some face and had left him a path that would spare his life. Of course, his words also implied that Wu Yu would no longer be with Nangong Wei anymore. However, at least he would walk away alive.

Despite all this, Wu Yu still stubbornly chose the path that led to his death.

The one who was most upset by this should have been Nangong Wei, who seemed full of hope. However, she did not seem too surprised. Perhaps deep down, she actually had an inkling that this would happen.

Wu Yu exchanged glances with her.

Wu Yu noticed that her eyes had lost all signs of hope. Through her gaze, her wearisome expression of pain pierced through Wu Yu's heart. Wu Yu felt an unparalleled amount of guilt toward her, and he was willing to do almost anything in order to make up for it. However, swearing an oath to kill Jiu Ying was simply something that he could not do.

After hearing Wu Yu's words, the Mizar Sword Immortal gave an unexpected laugh instead. He did not expect Wu Yu to be so stubborn, but this made it easier for him to convince Nangong Wei to let him directly chop off this brat's head on the spot.

Even though Wu Yu had not met him before, Wu Yu had indeed been a source of bother for him since ages ago.

Before...
