"Your Majesty, I, Wu Fengtian, beg for death! To die at Your Majesty's hands, I have no regrets!"

"Your Majesty, I do not wish to wander the mortal realm forever like those ghosts, nor do I wish to harm my own family. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do my utmost to protect my family and the safety of our country. I beg Your Majesty to grant me a swift end!"

"I would rather be a soul slain by the Kaiyang Sword than a wandering spirit in this mortal realm. Your Majesty, I beg you... to act!"

"The Grand Preceptor sacrificed himself for the sake of the Li Kingdom, becoming the core of the formation to trap that evil spirit Ning Chi. How can we cower like turtles at this time? I am afraid of death, but death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. Now that the Li Kingdom is in constant turmoil, if I do not stand up, who will?"

"Your Majesty, if such a scourge is not eliminated, not only will the country be left behind, but the entire world will no longer have a pure land!"

"I want my wife and children to live, I want that bastard Ning Chi dead! Your Majesty, do it! Let me become the power of the Kaiyang Sword, I only ask... to kill Ning Chi! Even if I can't kill him, I must seal him away! Only in this way... only in this way can my wife and children be protected!"

"Your Majesty, you must not hesitate at this moment. Now... only this final blow is needed."

"I pray that Heaven will protect the country, and protect His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to kill me! I am willing to become nourishment for the Kaiyang Sword, just to... kill the Ghost King!"

"Even if I were to become a mere soul, I would still bless Heaven, Your Majesty, and the Kingdom of Li. If I have the chance in my next life, I would still wish to be a citizen of the Kingdom of Li."

"This humble subject is willing to become the sword spirit of Kaiyang Sword, and begs Kaiyang Sword to take this humble subject into its fold."

"Please let this humble citizen become a sword spirit, and may God bless the Li Kingdom."

...

Countless prayers reached Jiang Yuan's ears, her eyes reddened, and her heartstrings seemed to be touched by something.

He sacrificed his own life to become the sword spirit of the Kaiyang Sword...

No wonder...

He possesses such a strong aura of malevolence, yet he is not harmed by it.

No wonder, Ye You said that the Kaiyang Sword emitted a golden light, and that the Kaiyang Sword merged into the lamp spirit to seal the Ghost King.

It was originally created for sealing purposes.

Those souls who died by the Kaiyang Sword all died voluntarily; before they died...

They were still praying to God to protect Liguo and Ningyuan.
