Sect Son's Righteousness

"No!"

The Ao Family Seventh Ancestor immediately stepped forward, rushing before Lu Ren to stop him. "Lu Ren, you are the future hope of our Nine Dragon Ancient Sect. If he captures you, the consequences will be unthinkable!"

"That's right, we absolutely cannot let him take you away!"

"We will protect the Sect Son even unto death!"

Many young disciples stood before Lu Ren, wearing expressions of utter fearlessness in the face of death.

Before Lu Ren, they all revealed their determination.

The entire Nine Dragon Ancient Sect seemed steeped in a desolate, sorrowful air. Before a Saint Realm expert, they were like ants.

Yet Lu Ren dashed forward in a single stride, shielding all the disciples behind him as he roared, "As the Sect Son, I should be protecting you, not letting you protect me!"

As soon as those words fell, grief appeared on the faces of many disciples and elders.

The Ao Family Seventh Ancestor and the others clenched their teeth tightly. If their group continued standing before Lu Ren, they would still die. Yet if only Lu Ren were sacrificed, the entire sect might be saved.

But how could they possibly let Lu Ren throw his life away for nothing?

Yun Qingyan and Qin Yu also wore worried expressions, yet they were utterly powerless.

Geng Ling'er, however, was somewhat moved. She had not expected Lu Ren to step forward. That courage earned her respect.

"King Yanluo, release the others. I'll go with you. Otherwise—"

Lu Ren drew his sword and held it to his own neck. "What you will see is a corpse!"

"Before a Saint Realm expert, do you think you are qualified to negotiate with this king?"

King Yanluo gave a disdainful smile. "You are the first person who has dared threaten this king!"

Boom!
