"I know my strength is meager, far inferior to yours, but my heart, Xu Hongzhuang's heart, is clear for all heavens and earth to see!"
Xu Hongzhuang didn't pay any mind to the mockery in Yun Xiao's words; instead, she stiffened her neck and stared at the person before her, then, as if making another decision, she spoke.
"Yun Xiao, after all, he is my father. If you must kill him today, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Xu Hongzhuang stared unblinkingly into Yun Xiao's eyes, her resolve unwavering and clearly visible, and upon her declaration, all the cultivators of Lingyun Sect were profoundly moved.
"Hongzhuang, get away from me right now!"
Xu Lingsong was terrified, his soul almost flying out of his body. Wasn't his decision for suicide made to prevent his loved ones from being harmed by Yun Xiao? Yet, to his disbelief, his precious daughter had thrown herself into the fray.
