Chapter 509: Chapter 511 Confession (Part 5)
Even more importantly, he had not forgotten one person.
Mu Ruyue!
Thinking of this name made Tian Yuan’s heart skip a beat. As a fellow Alchemy Master, he naturally knew that years ago Mu Ruyue had gone to the Medicine Sect to cure the Young Sect Master’s ailment.
Moreover, she was also from the Xiao Family.
The Xiao Family was the ruler of the Saint Realm, a place they couldn’t afford to offend. If these people really killed Wu Yu, that girl would likely storm their Sect immediately.
At that time, none of them would be able to escape!
This was also Tian Yuan’s concern…
“Sect Leader!” Elder Hou glared fiercely at Tian Yuan before turning to the Sect Leader. His brow furrowed, “If we keep him, the consequences are unthinkable. Please make a decision sooner rather than later, Sect Leader. Do you have to wait for the Qingming Sect to be annexed before you regret it?”
His words were quite blunt, but they seemed very logical to the Sect Leader. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he said, “Bring forth the executioners!”
As the words fell, he slowly closed his eyes.
Although he was reluctant to part with Wu Yu, human nature is selfish after all, and he would never let anyone threaten himself!
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Elder Hou felt a surge of joy in his heart, his eyes cruelly sweeping over Wu Yu.
In his view, this old man would soon be obliterated by the flames…
At that moment, two Sect protectors walked towards Wu Yu, emotionlessly piling up firewood next to him. The torch in their hands cast light onto the old man’s aged face, evoking a sigh from onlookers.
Tian Yuan’s heart turned cold suddenly.
The Sect Leader had determined Wu Yu’s crimes merely based on a few letters, how could it not chill one’s heart? Such a Sect Leader, was he really worth risking their lives for?
“Hahaha!”
Wu Yu burst into laughter, fearlessly staring at the people before him: “You will regret what happened today!”
After saying that, he spoke no more and slowly closed his eyes, allowing them to throw the torch onto the wood beside him.
Whoosh!
The fierce flames ignited, spreading intense heat across his entire body. Just as Wu Yu was quietly awaiting his death, a thunderous roar from the void echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Who dares to harm my master!”
In an instant, two streaks of light, one white and one purple, raced across the sky and landed in front of Wu Yu.
The white-clothed woman’s beauty was striking, her gorgeous face covered with a layer of frost, while the man beside her was stunningly handsome and devilish, his purple eyes just as dark.
Both of them were peerlessly outstanding and a delight to the eyes; even the phrase “a match made in heaven” seemed inadequate to describe them.
Then everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene…
The woman merely waved her right hand, and all the flames were extinguished…
This… this was simply impossible!
The crowd rubbed their eyes hard, staring in shock at the woman’s icy visage as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes wide open.
“Master!”
Mu Ruyue hurried forward, supporting the near-collapsed body of Master Wu Yu, her voice trembling slightly: “Master, I’m late…”
She was late, and thus she hadn’t managed to save her master in time.
But if she were any later, perhaps the consequences would be unimaginable…
Wu Yu’s eyelids twitched slightly, and as he opened his eyes to gaze at the woman before him, tears immediately blurred his old eyes. His voice hoarse, he said, “Girl… have you come back?”
“Yes,” Mu Ruyue lowered her gaze slightly, “I’m back, and just came to see you on the way. Who knew I would encounter such a situation. Don’t worry, I won’t let off anyone who has hurt you!”
