Thinking back to what the boss said back then, it was as if it was still echoing in his ears; that familiar face was still warm and looking at him.
Wuzhuo City was engulfed in grief, unable to speak through the choking sorrow.
"I'm sorry, boss, I've misunderstood you for so many years. I was so foolish."
"I'm sorry! Boss, I was young and impulsive. I hope you won't blame me. One day, I will definitely make amends for you!"
"In heaven and on earth, I will pay my respects face to face!"
Wuzhuo City let out a long howl towards the sky, suddenly moving his right hand, with a clang, he drew his sword!
Chu Yang, who saw Wuzhuo City gradually calming down, thought he had done something useless, but at this moment, he was shocked, his heart trembling as he rushed over like a ghost, reaching out to snatch the sword from his hand: “No!”
Wuzhuo City extended a hand to stop Chu Yang, calmly saying, “You think I would commit suicide?”
Chu Yang froze, stammering, “Isn’t that… what you’re doing? Why else draw your sword?”
Wuzhuo City laughed loudly, a wild laugh, and with that laughter, the winds rose and the clouds surged.
Wuzhuo City pointed his long sword towards the sky, his black hair flying, as the wind and clouds swirled with the vast snow around him. At this moment, Wuzhuo City seemed to summon the winds and clouds, shaking the heavens and earth!
He laughed, his voice as strong as gold and stone, saying word by word: “If it can truly comfort the spirit of the boss in heaven, what is my life worth? But what is the boss’s wish?! The boss's wish is unfulfilled, how can I, Wuzhuo City, just die like this! If I die, I must fulfill the boss's wish first!”
This sentence made Chu Yang feel clearly that Wuzhuo City was putting all his heart and soul into this single vow; or rather, this was a vow! A vow that came from the soul!
“Though the boss is no longer here, his wishes remain! He suffered countless grievances for the brothers. He sacrificed everything and bore too much, just to let his brothers battle against the heavenly demons! If I, Wuzhuo City, were to hastily end my own life due to regret and guilt, then I would be the number one coward in the world. How could I face the boss? What meaning would the boss's death have!”
“If I were to truly die like that, I would have no face to plead for forgiveness from the boss!”
Wuzhuo City softly said, “I have decided. In my lifetime, regardless of the cost, I will charge up to the Nine Heavens Pavilion and slay the heavenly demons! I will not turn back until all heavenly demons are killed!”
His voice, though soft, was resolute. Unshakable!
Chu Yang finally felt at ease, touched, and said, “What great ambition!”
“I will fulfill the boss’s wish on his behalf!”
Wuzhuo City declared, “At the moment the heavenly demons are eradicated from the pavilion, I, Wuzhuo City, will go to seek forgiveness from the boss! In heaven and on earth, I will pay my respects face to face!”
His crimson eyes were filled with fervor: “I must find the boss. I want to tell the boss how much I hated him during these thirty-nine thousand years! I must tell him. I was wrong! I admit my mistakes, but I will definitely beat him up! That bastard, who concealed everything from us, deceived us! I must settle the score with him!”
“All the brothers will go! They will!”
“We must find him, to plead for forgiveness face to face. And to question him face to face!” Wuzhuo City shouted loudly: “Boss! How could you leave us in such despair! After tens of thousands of years, our long-standing grievances turned out to be misunderstandings! How could we, your brothers who have cursed you for thirty-nine thousand years, bear to live in this world? To enjoy the riches and glory of the world?”
“Do you not understand us? We are brothers!”
Chu Yang was taken aback, saying, “But he… he’s already… his soul has already dispersed… how can you find him?”
Wuzhuo City laughed heartily: “He wouldn’t abandon us. I will definitely find him! In heaven and on earth, anywhere, I will find him!”
