Chapter 0353: 0353
Although this was the Common Sword Domain, the disciples present did not only consist of ordinary dan disciples .
From all of Shushan, it seemed like numerous disciples of the four major sword ranks had come down . They were either mounted on their flying swords or standing atop some mountains by the side as they looked toward the lonely Wu Yu on the Mortal Arena .
Right above Wu Yu, there were even a handful of Heaven sword rank disciples .
Today, there was indeed quite a hubbub in the crowd .
Over 10,000 blazing gazes were focused on Wu Yu .
"He has finally caused a disaster that nobody can save him from . "
There seemed to be some people who were vaguely saying something like this .
There were many other discussions as well, but due to the size of the crowd it was just a wall of noise . Their words were rather indistinguishable .
"Wu Yu!"
A sharp yell abruptly sounded out .
Wu Yu's ear were slightly hurt by this . The scene before him today made him extremely displeased . As he tilted his head up, he immediately saw that there were 10 or so Shushan Sword Sages floating right above him and looking down at him from above .
Wu Yu recognized the Crimson Shadow Sword Sage, the East Mountain Sword Sage, and the Lunar Flower Sword Sage among them . The one that had shouted at Wu Yu was none other than the Lunar Flower Sword Sage . Additionally, the Galaxy Sword Sage, Shen Xingyao, and his younger sister, Shen Xingyu, were slightly further away .
Wu Yu could not recognize any of the other Shushan Sword Sages . In this moment, they were all looking at him with silent expressions on their faces .
Among them, two were extremely agitated . One of them was the Lunar Flower Sword Sage . She was currently hugging Mu Lingche in her embrace . Since the group had only just returned, the Crimson Shadow Sword Sage had probably only just handed her corpse over to the Lunar Flower Sword Sage .
There was another man with short hair and red eyes . This was most likely the Distant Fire Sword Sage .
These were none other than Mu Lingche's parents .
They were currently laying Mu Lingche to rest in a crystal-like coffin . There was a sea of flower petals dancing in the air around where this coffin was positioned on the Mortal Arena . Mu Lingche peacefully lay within .
"Wu Yu, I've heard that you killed my daughter with your own hands," the Lunar Flower Sword Sage said . Her eyes were flooded with sword qi, and as she made eye contact with Wu Yu, it seemed like sharp knives were piercing through his eyes . The terrifyingly crushing pressure from this Shushan Sword Sage made him continuously back away .
All of a sudden, Shen Xingyao appeared before him as well . His purple gown billowed in the wind and his gaze was calm as he said, "Lunar Flower Sword Sage, the Crimson Shadow Sword Sage has already given us the clear details of what has happened . While Wu Yu is partially to blame in this matter, he was not the one who caused Mu Lingche's death . So you shouldn't try to threaten him with the death penalty . As for what to do with him, it's not up to us to decide . "
If Shen Xingyao had not obstructed his counterpart just then, she clearly would not have cared that much and may have even slaughtered Wu Yu on the spot before anything else .
"Shen Xingyao, why are you protecting him? He's not even your disciple . There's no way he'll be of any use to you . " The Distant Fire Sword Sage glared like a tiger with wide open eyes . His soaring rage and cold voice of contempt caused the crowd of 10,000 to go silent .
In such an interrogation, Shen Xingyao replied, "After Wu Yu was attacked by the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu, he came to me to ask me about that curse insignia of his . Due to the fact that the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu is truly a unique demon, I was unable to come up with a way to solve his problem, even after searching far and wide . Now that the curse insignia has really ended up causing such an incident, I have to shoulder some responsibility as well . "
Everyone clearly knew the truth of the matter . Wu Yu truly could not have avoided this .
However, from another perspective, it was also true that Mu Lingche had passed away truly only because of Wu Yu . If not for Wu Yu, she would’ve still been alive .
Given this, the Lunar Flower Sword Sage and her husband wanted to seek out the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu, but they did not want to pardon Wu Yu either .
"Forget it, let's just wait for the Mizar Sword Immortal . He already said that he'll handle the matter personally once you all have arrived . " The East Mountain Sword Sage waved his hands to signal for them to stop their argument .
While the Lunar Flower Sword Sage and the Distant Fire Sword Sage did not do make any further moves, they stood guard before Mu Lingche's coffin and looked at Wu Yu with cold eyes . They were like two giants, and despite them not doing anything, Wu Yu was unable to breathe in their presence . As a matter of fact, both of them already knew the truth, so even if Wu Yu explained himself clearly to them, it would be of no use .
Everyone had their own logical way of looking at this matter .
If at this very moment he and Beishan Mo had swapped places, and Beishan Mo had been the one that killed Mu Lingche instead, they definitely would not have uttered a single word . This was the difference that one's social backing made .
All Wu Yu ever felt within the icy skies and freezing fields of Shushan was malevolent desolation . He never seemed to have ever experienced warmth from this place .
As he looked into the distance, he saw countless silent gazes looking back at him . Perhaps they did not really care about his fate after all . That's right, the realm of cultivators was a cold place, so who would even care about whether he lived or died…
These gazes made Wu Yu feel slightly disappointed about the Clear Sky of Shushan that he had always yearned for . He had a dreadful feeling that his dream of ascending to the highest part of the Clear Sky of Shushan was about to come to nothing .
"Where's Wei Er?"
As he searched high and low, he could not find any trace of her . Even Beishan Mo was gone as well . Perhaps they had gone to see the Seven Immortals of Shushan as soon as they had returned .
There were Seven Immortals in all .
"Wu Yu . " Shen Xingyao stood before him and gazed at him with his eyes that resembled stars . He said, "To be honest, you're truly unlucky this time . The truth is that her death was not your fault . Despite this, parents always have to let their dead children close their eyes and rest in peace . In light of this, it's going to be rather difficult for them to let you just coast by . However, there's an even more important point . "
Wu Yu was thankful to him . With Nangong Wei gone, Shen Xingyao was the only one standing before him now .
He kept quiet and waited for Shen Xingyao to continue .
Shen Xingyao said, "Apparently, the Mizar Sword Immortal has already been displeased by your adverse influence on Nangong Wei's cultivation . There were many times where Nangong Wei stood up for you . Despite the Mizar Sword Immortal's long-standing dissatisfaction toward you, he did not appear personally to deal with you only because of Nangong Wei's intervention . Now that it's been exposed that you are friends with the son of his mortal enemy, both father and daughter are unable to accept this . If by any chance Nangong Wei no longer cares about you, it'll be difficult for you to escape misfortune today . Even I can't help you with this . "
