Yun Yubai's voice was calm but carried a weight of finality as he spoke, "I can give you one more chance. You go and personally cut off your master's head. Not just you, but the remaining disciples will be spared from this calamity."
Wang Lun froze for a moment, then broke into a furious outburst. "Yun Yubai! Are you even human?! How could you betray us like this?! Master has always cared for you, and we've respected you all this time. And now you want to torture us like this?!"
Yun Yubai didn't get angry, simply replying, "It seems you won't do it."
Wang Lun's sword was already stained with his master's blood. To personally end his master's life was an unimaginable torment. Even though he understood the weight of the task ahead of him, doing it would forever haunt him—it would break his path to cultivation. His Dao heart would shatter.
Wang Lun's lips quivered as he struggled internally. In the end, he drew his sword.
