Chapter 1692

Duanmu Xiaoman didn’t respond, her eyes revealing a cold determination, dismissing Zi Feng and Gongque Lake as insignificant in front of Duanmu.

Even in Jun Haotian’s eyes, he was considered insignificant to Duanmu.

Luo Wuya quickly grabbed Elder Zi, his eyes changing urgently, signaling him not to speak anymore.

"Elder Zi, remember your duty to protect your disciple! Dare to speak such words again, and you will be cast into the abyss!" Luo Wuya said angrily.

Immediately, Elder Zi’s eyes flickered like a puddle of mud, his whole being sinking into despair.

His hair instantly turned snow white, drifting in the air, looking aged like a frail old man near death. He shook his head incessantly, shedding tears, feeling extremely distressed.

Watching the heartbroken Muyang looking at Elder Zi, Su Yi’s mind was filled with the image of a short, elderly person in their sixties or seventies.

When reflecting on the rumors of Elder Su’s demise in the Divine Sword Valley, Su Yi felt a hint of empathy, thinking that Elder Su must have felt just as helpless. His heart swayed momentarily.

While Zi Feng’s actions were unforgivable and misguided, for someone who had painstakingly nurtured him, Zi Feng meant everything and was a labor of love for Elder Zi.

Ironically, Jun Haotian was sacrificing his own life for a paranoid mentor.

"Oh no!"

At this moment, the audience below constantly murmured and sighed. Once a proud figure, but now in such a situation, and at this moment, a figure on stage standing tall caught everyone’s attention.

Jun Haotian, with a slight and frail body, knelt on the ground straight and unmoving, regardless of the pleas from those beside him. His eyebrows were furrowed, showing determination, unmoved by anything.

"Poor Jun Haotian, his master is about to meet a tragic end, and he seems petrified! No reaction at all!"

"Indeed! If I were him, I wouldn’t be able to bear it either!"

"Originally the pride of the heavens, manipulated by his master throughout his life, he has been shackled at a young age. Such an ending is truly unimaginable!"

The ordinary elders and disciples’ whispers felt like steel spikes poking at Jun Haotian’s backbone. Han Yurou and Li Shiran couldn’t bear to watch, and slightly turned their heads away.

Looking at Jun Haotian’s calm face, Su Yi narrowed his eyes, feeling a surge of emotions inside.

"Is this guy seeking death? No response at all, unlike Zi Feng and Zuo Qiufeng, it’s chilling for anyone watching!"

When Jun Haotian was in a difficult situation, his calm demeanor made Su Yi see Yutian Palace’s number one in a new light.

Among peers, rarely did Su Yi find someone with such strong will and extraordinary soul energy. Watching Jun Haotian facing life and death with grace, Su Yi nodded in admiration.

"I will go myself!" One by one, the disciples of Yutian Palace dragged away crying and screaming individuals. Jun Haotian raised his eyebrow and spoke softly.

With a serene gaze, Jun Haotian glanced at the sky of Yutian Palace, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He stood up immediately and respectfully bowed to Duanmu Xiaoman, Elder Gu Yue, and others.

"I repent! Master has already been punished. The nurturing by Yutian Palace, unforgettable regrets for me, only to repay in the next life!"

With resounding words, the powerful wind carried each sentence to everyone’s ears, and Jun Haotian’s composed attitude moved everyone.

A glint appeared in the eyes of Gu Yue and others, only to dim afterward. The decision made by Palace Master Duanmu left them with no room for appeal.

They could speak but dared not! To plead for Jun Haotian undoubtedly placed themselves against Zuo Qiufeng’s faction, sympathizing with Jun Haotian was a reproach to Duanmu Xiaoman.

"*Sound of footsteps*"

Jun Haotian walked with great determination, as solid as a rock, each step shaking hearts.

As they passed by each other, Jun Haotian and Su Yi locked eyes, a clash of souls, neither wanting to give in. In that moment, Jun Haotian’s eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit, then quickly faded away, like a flickering star.

"Su Yi, you’re my lifelong rival, Jun Haotian! Next time we meet, let’s have a good match! Hahaha!" Junhao couldn’t help but laugh, a hint of sorrow flashing between his eyebrows.

Su Yi felt a tug in his heart, it was a powerless resistance, a surrender to fate, a compromise with reality.

Silent sighs spread among the elders of Yutian Palace, feeling sorrowful, as if Yutian Palace was about to lose a decisive talent.

The showdown between Su Yi and Jun Haotian ended with Su Yi’s victory, but Jun Haotian’s fate surprised everyone, eliciting a faint sigh from their hearts.

Zuo Qiufeng lying on the ground was like a joke compared to his disciples, evoking disdainful looks from the onlookers.

"Wait a minute!" Su Yi stood up immediately, his face serious, and he raised his nose slightly.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards Su Yi, even Jun Haotian who was about to step down also turned around.

Su Yi walked up to Duanmu Xiaoman and stared at Master Duanmu’s face, saying, "Palace Master Duanmu, I have a favor to ask."

Hearing this, Duanmu Xiaoman furrowed her eyebrows, guessing what Su Yi wanted to say.

"Are you asking for mercy for Jun Haotian?"

"Yes! This matter has nothing to do with Jun Haotian, please show some mercy, Palace Master Duanmu."

Duanmu Xiaoman’s cool face showed a hint of surprise, everyone was a little surprised, Su Yi was actually surprised for his competitor!

"There is no room for this matter, please step back!"

In an instant, a soul pressure rushed into Su Yi’s mind, his Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul trembled violently, and he saw many snowflakes in front of his eyes.

The overwhelming force locked Su Yi’s body in place like a hand, in front of Duanmu Xiaoman, Su Yi felt extremely small.

"This is the gap in power! Compared to Duanmu Xiaoman, I am indeed too small!" A huge wave surged in Su Yi’s heart instantly.

Jun Haotian was surprised to see Su Yi speaking up for him at the last moment, even though they hadn’t been close before.

Su Yi felt stubborn and determined, seeing Jun Haotian remind him of his past struggles. He had a special power, while Su Yi felt he had nothing.

If he had given up back at the volcano, he wouldn’t be here now.

Su Yi clenched his teeth not just to save Jun Haotian, but to save himself, fighting to protect his crumbling state of mind.

Life should be controlled by oneself, not by others!

In that moment, Su Yi was determined to fight, for Jun Haotian, for himself, to seize control of a vast world and claim his own path!

"Taking a life is far less meaningful than saving one!" Su Yi’s words resonated with conviction, pushing through the pain in his body.

His deep, intense gaze carried a powerful aura, fixed on Jun Haotian as if withholding boundless strength.

"*Thump!*"

Duānmù seemed to see a frail figure in the icy wilderness, determined to fight against the elements and protect their unwavering spirit.

In that moment, Duanmu Xiaoman’s eyes shimmered with emotion, her lips pressed together lightly as she spoke softly.

"Are you willing to defy me for him?"

Su Yi smiled smugly, his eyebrows raised proudly as he replied, "You would do the same in my place!"
