70 The Evil Forest

Su Yu was dismayed. Originally, he had thought that the Sanctuary would be a safe place for him to cultivate his abilities and, in time, when he was strong enough, he would be reunited with Xianer. He had not anticipated the dissolution of the Sanctuary—luck simply was not on his side. Furthermore, the Holy King—finally in front of him in person—had turned murderous!

Swish—

A beautiful shadow flew in front of Su Yu.

"Holy King! Please, give him a chance!" Xia Jingyu slightly lifted the hem of her clothes as she groveled before the Holy King.

She was touched by Su Yu's devotion, though she was still pained by his disregard for his own life for the sake of Xianer.

The killing intent in the eyes of the Holy King deepened. "Back down, or you too will die!"

"Please, Holy King, fulfill his wish!" Xia Jingyu begged and pleaded, her pretty eyes persistent.

"Humph! Such insolence!" The Holy King was completely enraged!
