Master Wu stood up and lunged at Li Manning.
Caught off guard, Li Manning was knocked to the ground.
Her facial features were still twisted, a menacing sight.
Yet, Master Wu didn't relent.
"Damn woman, it's your fault! I'm going to finish you right now."
He rudely tugged at the ragged clothing of Li Manning's puppet body.
Ling Xuzi turned a blind eye to this, moving instead towards the utterly dejected Nangong Yunlong.
The arrival of Huo's hidden guards and Ling Xuzi made it clear to him that the situation was beyond his control.
Ling Xuzi stood before him, "Mr Nangong, it's time to accept your fate."
"Accept my fate?"
Nangong Yunlong's eyes flashed with arrogance, "If I were to acquiesce, it would only lead to my death!"
To accept his fate was to invite death.
How could he willingly accept death?
An indifferent expression crossed Ling Xuzi's face as if this slight movement captured his sentiments.
