The true feelings that Zaar Caiyun had hidden within her heart for a very long time finally erupted without holding back at all. The bone-deep tenderness and her unchanging infatuation deeply impacted Hao Wu's heart, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
"Caiyun, I'm ashamed to see you. I'm ashamed to see you. I've let you down. I've let you down." Hao Wu's face was filled with sorrow as he painfully spoke with his eyes closed.
Blood constantly flowed from the corner of Zaar Caiyun's mouth. She slowly raised her jade-white hand and gently touched Hao Wu's resolute face. Her eyes were no longer as cold and emotionless as before. They had been replaced by gentleness. She said softly, "Hao Wu, I don't blame you. I really have never blamed you, nor have I been angry at you, because back then, you were powerless before the clan. Even I couldn't break free from the fate of the clan."
"But it's different now. We both possess great strength now. We have the right to speak before the clan. We have the right to make decisions. Hao Wu, do you know that I've been thinking about you all these years? I've always wanted to be with you. We can travel to the ends of the world and live our free lives. Now, are you still willing to be with me? "Zaar Caiyun stared at Hao Wu in a daze. She was filled with eagerness.
At that moment, the sky became extraordinarily quiet. Other than the whistling wind, only Hao Wu and Zaar Caiyun's voices could be heard.
The Saint Rulers of the eight clans all flew over from afar. They stopped in the distance and silently watched what was happening. All of their expressions became extremely mixed, and quite a few of them looked at Zaar Caiyun obediently.
Very few of them knew about Zaar Caiyun's past. They all found it extremely unbelievable that the strongest ancestor of the Zaar family, Zaar Caiyun, was so devoted to Hao Wu that she had not changed her mind even after several thousand years.
None of them had thought that a story like this would be hidden under Zaar Caiyun's cold appearance.
Zaar Caiyun's great-grandfather stood with the Saint Rulers of the Zaar family. He also stared at Zaar Caiyun and Hao Wu with extremely mixed feelings. There was also deep regret.
That year, he was the one who had ignored Zaar Caiyun's pleas and forced Zaar Caiyun and Hao Wu to separate. This was because Hao Wu was only a talented mercenary back then. He did not have a fixed residence and was roaming the Tian Yuan Continent. He did not have any background, so why would someone like him be valued by the Zaar family, one of the seven great capital cities of the continent?
As for Zaar Caiyun, she was the most outstanding person in the Zaar Family. Her talent was extraordinary, she was intelligent and quick-witted. Moreover, her appearance was even more outstanding. She was regarded as the apple of the Zaar Family's old ancestor's eye and was extremely doted on. How could the Zaar Family marry such an outstanding clansman to a homeless mercenary? Thus, a series of events happened later on.
However, what the Zaar Family had never imagined was that the mercenary who was only considered to be talented at that time actually had such great potential. A few thousand years later, he had become one of the few unrivalled experts on the Tian Yuan Continent, becoming a peak expert that the Zaar Family had no choice but to pay attention to.
However, the Zaar Family had wronged Hao Wu far too many times in the past. Since the mistakes had already been made, it was very difficult to avoid them. As a result, although Hao Wu had always remained in the Holy Emperor's Empire, his relationship with the Zaar Family was extremely subtle. They seemed to be enemies, but they were not enemies.
At the same time, Zaar Feimore knew that with Hao Wu's connections, he already possessed the ability to take revenge on the Zaar Family many years ago. However, he had never done so. All of this was because of Zaar Caiyun.
Jianchen had already put away his Emperor Armament. He hovered in the air like an ordinary person as he silently stared at Hao Wu and Zaar Caiyun with a complicated gaze. The light in his eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ruijin, Honglian, Black Fish, and the four protectors of the Bloodsword Sect were all speechless. They stood with Jianchen.
Hao Wu painfully closed his eyes when he heard Zaar Caiyun's words. He did not reply for quite a while.
Zaar Caiyun stared at Hao Wu for a long time. In the end, disappointment appeared on her face. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Hao Wu, I know you still love me. You've always loved me, right?"
Hao Wu gently nodded. He said nothing.
"The main reason why you don't want to be with me is because of your daughter. You're afraid that your daughter will never forgive you, right?" Zaar Caiyun's voice was filled with pain.
"I'm sorry, Caiyun!" Hao Wu gently stroked Zaar Caiyun's face. His heart was filled with pain as well. He had clearly always loved Zaar Caiyun, but due to certain reasons, he could not be with her. He had not even seen her once in three thousand years.
Zaar Caiyun smiled. She slowly closed her eyes in satisfaction and gently said, "Hao Wu, although I can't be with you, I'm already very satisfied to be in your embrace again." With that, Zaar Caiyun suddenly trembled violently. A large mouthful of blood immediately sprayed out of her mouth as she became even paler. She was on the verge of death.
Hao Wu's expression drastically changed. He immediately opened his eyes and stared at Zaar Caiyun in disbelief, "Caiyun, Caiyun, what are you doing? You actually severed your own meridian. How can you be so stupid?"
"Since living means suffering, I might as well die. It's better than being tormented every day. Hao Wu, I hope we can meet again in the next life." Zaar Caiyun's face was ashen. She wanted to die now. She no longer had any desire to live.
Afterwards, a faint wisp of weakness appeared on Zaar Caiyun's head. She was using a secret technique to burn her soul.
"Caiyun, don't! Don't do anything stupid …" Hao Wu paled in fright. It was just too sudden. He was at a loss for what to do.
"Caiyun, stop!" Zaar Feimoer's expression drastically changed as well. He hurriedly called out.
"Ancestor …" The Saint Rulers of the Zaar family were all shocked as well. They all cried out sorrowfully.
Jianchen's expression changed slightly as well. He immediately turned to Ruijin and said, "Senior Ruijin, please stop her."
Ruijin nodded slightly. He silently arrived before Zaar Caiyun and directly sent a palm strike toward her head.
"Don't hurt Caiyun!" Hao Wu thought that Ruijin wanted to kill Caiyun, so he bellowed out. He immediately moved to block Ruijin's palm strike.
"If you don't want her soul to be destroyed, don't interfere," Jian Chen growled. He formed a seal with his left hand and immediately used a secret technique of the Dragon clan to imprison Hao Wu. At the same time, his right hand struck Zaar Caiyun's head mercilessly.
The flames on Zaar Caiyun's head immediately dispersed. Her soul had stopped burning. Ruijin had forcefully interrupted her suicidal actions. However, her soul was extremely injured, so she fainted.
Hao Wu recovered his freedom very quickly. He quickly retreated with Zaar Caiyun, pulling away from Ruijin. He stared at Zaar Caiyun in worry as he constantly shook her. "Caiyun, Caiyun, how are you? How are you?"
Zaar Feimoer arrived before Hao Wu as well. He was filled with sorrow as he stared at the unconscious Caiyun in pain. He regretted his decision back then.
