The expression of Venerable Taixu changed immediately.
From the side of the Wuji Sect, an angry chorus erupted.
"Evil demon, don't even think about it!"
"We the disciples of the Wuji Sect and evil demons are irreconcilable!"
"We will never surrender!"
Forcing herself to stand, Xingyun's eyes flickered with a trace of tears, yet she still spoke, word by word: "Uncle-Master, should our master regain consciousness, you know the kind of choice he would make."
Venerable Taixu became lost in thought.

He would rather die than be coerced by the evil demons.
On this point, none in the Wuji Sect would have any doubt.
"Venerable Taixu." A trace of despair flickered in the eyes of Eternal Green Venerable as he spoke softly: "Still... the bigger picture must be prioritized."
Venerable Taixu concealed all agony within his gaze, his voice hoarse, but his stance remained upright.
