The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger.

Gu Chen shuddered unconsciously.

His arms, covered with traces of stitches, were shaking constantly.

There was no need to explain Gu Zhi's words, he knew what they meant.

Gu Chen raised his head with difficulty and looked at Chu Yunxi who was lying in the snow in the distance. His body trembled even more violently.

Do I really want to do that? Gu Chen was struggling in his heart.

However, his trembling hands were already reaching for the sword stuck in the snow in front of him.

Gu Chen grabbed the sword.

Then he held up his sword and walked towards Chu Yunxi step by step.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Chu Yunxi had a bad feeling in her heart.

Gu Zhi controlled him and she couldn't move at this moment.

Gu Chen walked towards her with a sword in hand, looking tangled. She was horrified and roared at Gu Zhi:

"You are so heartless! Gu Zhi, are you really going to be so inhumane?"

Gu Zhi stood in the wind and snow with a smile on his face, his black hair like a waterfall. At this moment, he looked very otherworldly, without the brutality and cruelty of the past when blood flowed like a river. Instead, he looked like a banished immortal, very clear and empty.

Chu Yunxi was anxious. She was sweating profusely in the snow.

Gu Zhi's silent response made her panic and she immediately broke out in a sweat:

"Gu Zhi, you will die miserably like this!"

Hearing Chu Yunxi's pale and ridiculous threat, Gu Zhi smiled even more brightly.

In the past, Chu Yunxi was so powerful. He was the Immortal Lord of Yao Chi and a Mahayana cultivator. He could kill with just a wave of his hand. With a snap of his fingers, he could make him bleed and force him into a desperate situation of death.

Now Chu Yunxi can only threaten with such words, and Gu Zhi can look down at her coldly.

This feeling made Gu Zhi very happy. He had a smile on his face and couldn't suppress it at all.

"Gu Zhi, you..."

Chu Yunxi kept cursing and threatening, but it was all in vain. His words were blown away and drowned by the wind and snow.

On the other hand, Gu Chen, who was holding a sword, seemed to be moving faster and faster, and was already approaching her.

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

Gu Chen's eyes were red, with tears glistening in them. His hands were shaking violently, but the sword in his hand was very steady. He slowly raised it up, and the tip of the sword gradually pointed at Chu Yunxi.

"Chen'er, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Chu Yunxi panicked. She was brought back to the Yaochi Holy Land by Lin Wanyin. In the illusion of her inner demon, she saw Gu Chen wielding a knife at her, making her bleed and her body full of blood holes. In the end, he cut her into eight pieces and scolded her for not being a good mother. He said that she should have committed suicide outside Yunqi City and used her life in exchange for his life.

She was heartbroken and heartbroken at the time, and finally woke up from the illusion.

Lin Wanyin also said that this illusion might reflect reality, and used this to persuade her to give up Gu Chen, saying that Gu Chen was a born devil and would bite back at her in the future.

But she was very determined, believing that illusions were always illusions and could not reflect reality. She had given so much to Gu Chen and poured all her motherly love into him. How could Gu Chen possibly turn against her?

However, something is wrong now!

Gu Chen raised his sword towards her, and a cold light flashed on the sharp blade.

Chu Yunxi was completely panicked. She was not only afraid of death, but also afraid of being killed by Gu Chen.

If she died at the hands of Gu Zhi, she would accept it, but if Gu Chen killed her with his own hands, she really could not accept it. She would be in extreme pain and would die with her eyes open.

"I'm sorry, mother. I... I was forced to do this. Gu Zhi cast the Heavenly Heart Demon on me. I am now Gu Zhi's puppet. I can't control myself at all."

With red eyes and tears in his eyes, Gu Chen explained to Chu Yunxi.

But at the same time, he also took action, as if he couldn't control himself. His body movements were very unnatural, like a puppet, and he pierced Chu Yunxi's chest with a sword.

Then, he turned his head, choked with sobs, pulled out the sword, and thrust it forward. The tip of the sword pierced Chu Yunxi again, leaving a bloody hole in Chu Yunxi's body.

"puff--"

Chu Yunxi vomited blood, and the blood holes on her body were gushing out blood like fountains, and at the same time, her tears were also gushing out.

She felt sad and painful in her heart.

Will the illusion really reflect reality? Will she be killed by Gu Chen and finally cut into pieces by Gu Chen?

Chu Yunxi was heartbroken. How could she not feel pain when she died at the hands of her beloved son?

The only consolation is that there is still a difference between illusion and reality, and Lin Wanyin's words did not come true.

Although Gu Chen swung his sword at her and wanted to kill her, he did not hate her as he did in the illusion and did not actively want to kill her. Instead, he was forced to do so and was manipulated by Gu Zhi.

Gu Chen was not the son who would retaliate against his mother as Lin Wanyin said. Gu Chen was still her good son. He would never be like this if he was not forced.

Even so, she still felt very uncomfortable, but it was a blessing in disguise. She could rest in peace after her death.

"Tsk, are you putting on a show in front of me?"

Gu Zhi sneered. Did he force Gu Chen? No, he just asked Gu Chen to make a choice: either be tortured by him for the rest of his life, or kill Chu Yunxi with his own hands in exchange for freedom.

As a result, Gu Chen chose to exchange Chu Yunxi's life for his freedom without any hesitation.

Now, Gu Chen put all the blame on him, saying that he was controlling the sword swinging. This was too ridiculous. Did he treat him as if he didn't exist and put the blame on him right under his nose?

Gu Zhi was talking to Gu Chen at the time and recorded it with a sound recording device for later use.

Moreover, even without the sound recording talisman, it is still possible to capture fragments of Gu Chen's memories.

Gu Zhi walked in the wind and snow to reveal the truth.

However, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Chu Yunxi's body, knocking Gu Chen away.

A feather appeared above Chu Yunxi's head, emitting pure white light and protecting Chu Yunxi.

Gu Zhi frowned. This was beyond his expectations and an unimaginable situation.

Chu Yunxi was stunned when she saw the feathers that suddenly appeared above her head, tears flowing silently.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that she was still bleeding, and all the injuries and pain on her body were no longer within her perception.

Chu Yunxi looked up at the pure white feather, tears streaming down her face, but the corners of her mouth turned upwards, revealing a smile:

"Jinghong... in the end... are you still protecting me?"

Stunning beauty?

Gu Zhi frowned even more tightly.

Never heard of this name before.

Even in Gu Chen's memory, there is no relevant information.

“Could it be…”

Gu Zhi once used Gu Qingshuang to plunder a wisp of Chu Yunxi's soul through a magic sword.

Gu Zhi wanted to use this wisp of soul to break the restriction deep in Gu Chen's sea of ​​memory, but ultimately failed.

However, Gu Zhi was not without gain. He saw a vague figure in Chu Yunxi's soul.

The figure was blurry and Gu Zhi couldn't see clearly, but he could feel that the figure should be as handsome as jade, with unparalleled grace.

At this moment, Gu Zhi felt that the figure should be the "Jinghong" that Chu Yunxi mentioned.

Moreover, Gu Zhi had a hunch that the "Jinghong" might be related to Gu Chen.
