It's certainly hard to accept being given a fate so suddenly and without any explanation.
Everything that happened tonight felt like a dream, coming and going suddenly.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "a bolt from the blue."
Wu Er was still in a daze when faced with this situation.
In fact, not only Wu Er, but everyone else was also stunned, after all, this was too sudden.
"Let's pack our things."
After being exposed to the cold wind for a while, Wu Er's mind finally cleared up a bit, and he was able to speak.
As expected of fellow disciples who have been classmates for many years, those around them understood the meaning immediately after hearing just one sentence.
This means they want to escape.
The only option was to run away. Faced with so many powerful enemies, running was the best course of action; a direct confrontation would obviously be unwise.
Wu Er sighed again, "What are we still standing there for? Although we don't know why he let us go, now is the best time to run. Don't waste time."
Upon hearing this, the people nearby began to move.
Apart from Wu Er, the rest of the group fell silent and returned to their own cabins to pack their belongings.
At this moment, the sky was like a black curtain, with no color other than black. After this black curtain was placed over our heads, it seemed that everything around us had turned black as well.
There was no one around anymore. Suddenly, Wu Er's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Escape? Is it even possible to escape?
Wu Er felt somewhat desperate. Fang Tianzhi was able to let him go so easily, which meant he must still have other methods and wasn't afraid of him escaping.
Thinking about it this way, the chances of escaping are slim.
Even if the chances are slim, I still have to escape. Ah, I have no choice but to escape.
Although Wu Er had known for a long time that the cultivation world was very cruel, he never expected that this cruelty would be so...sudden?
They were out shopping and chatting during the day, and then suddenly they were sentenced to death at night?
Ha, how absurd!
However absurd it may seem, Wu Er still has to accept it, because that's reality.
Wu Er wasn't afraid of death. He was fine with dying alone, having already transmigrated once and died once. After the first time, he could accept dying a second time.
But the current situation is that he has several junior brothers and sisters next to him!
Wu Er cherishes his junior brothers and sisters the most, and he doesn't want them to lose their lives in vain.
My mind gradually cleared up, and I was able to recall what Fang Tianzhi had said.
"Forging a sword... Yes, he wants to use me to forge a sword, so all he needs to do is kill me!"
Suddenly, Wu Er seemed to have figured something out, or perhaps he hadn't, and was just grasping at straws in his desperation.
"As long as I stay far enough away, they won't be implicated!"
After muttering something, Wu Er stood up and looked towards the black sky.
He should go, go alone, find a secluded place to wait for death, so that he will be the only one to die.
Thinking so haphazardly naturally leads to acting haphazardly as well.
Wu Er didn't greet his junior brothers and sisters, because he knew they would disagree.
Although this might be the last time they see each other, and they should say goodbye properly, Wu Er still decided to go alone!
While the junior students are still packing their things, let's hurry and leave under the cover of night!
The faster and farther you go, the safer your junior brothers and sisters will be!
Once those wild thoughts took hold, the person stopped caring about anything else.
I can suppress my longing for my junior brothers and sisters, and I can avoid thinking about how heartbroken they are when they find out I left without saying goodbye.
No sadness matters, as long as we're alive.
Wu Er plunged into the night, flying away into the distance, not knowing where he was going, only that he was heading into the distance.
The farther the better...
After an unknown amount of time, the biting autumn wind blew away the clouds in the sky, and the sun rose at that moment.
The morning sun shone on the lingering clouds, and as far as the eye could see, everything was a crimson hue—this was the morning glow.
Wu Er flew all night and didn't know how far he had flown.
He had originally wanted to go further, but his exhaustion forced him to fall to the ground.
"Isn't that far enough...? Isn't that far enough..."
Muttering to himself, Wu Er landed in a rural area, his eyes lifeless and his expression numb.
Wandering around here, I don't know what to do.
I originally intended to live a peaceful life and slowly cultivate myself, but my life was suddenly disrupted, and to be honest, I really didn't know what to do.
Although Wu Er may occasionally display some cleverness, he is not inherently a person with exceptional intelligence, nor is he someone with countless strategies in his mind.
He couldn't even imagine saving his own life or fighting back.
He was just a person with some cultivation, and also a kind person, not ruthless or scheming.
Wu Er isn't the kind of protagonist in novels who can calmly handle everything; he's just a lucky good-for-nothing.
A good-for-nothing like him can only wait to die.
Walk slowly, walk aimlessly.
Wu Er didn't know how far he had walked, but the trees around him gradually thinned out and the weeds became sparse.
Before long, they found themselves inexplicably in front of a mortal city.
On a normal day, Wu Er might even take a stroll with great interest, to experience the joys of the mundane world.
But now that I'm about to lose my life, even if there's a beautiful view, I have no mood to appreciate it.
The idea that you should have fun and live each day to the fullest before you die is a lie!
Knowing you're going to die, what good can you possibly do?
Lost in thought, Wu Er stumbled to the city gate. Behind him was the rising sun, and in front of him was a pitch-black shadow.
