Liuli was too far away just now, and only saw Liang Yihan release Ahua before she landed. She didn't hear a thing about what they said. Now that she saw Ahua crying, Liuli panicked and quickly asked, "Ahua, what's wrong?"

Ah Hua buried her face in Liu Li's arms, her voice muffled as she choked out, "Sister, he... he said I'm not his Ah Hua anymore, he also said... he also said that if he sees me again, he'll kill me... Sister, why, why?"

Ahua's voice was choked with sobs, barely audible, as she said intermittently, "I traveled thousands of miles, I... I finally found him, but he doesn't want me anymore... He blames me for being a demon, but if I hadn't become a demon, how could I have found him?"

Liuli quickly understood. Her face darkened, and she looked at Liang Yihan from afar. She saw that the once spirited man was now standing dejectedly on a crimson flying sword, hovering in the air. His face was pale and his expression was ashen.

Liuli angrily said, "You, Liang Yihan, what a righteous disciple you are! I've learned my lesson! Your teachers are truly formidable, producing a bunch of blockheads who are so inflexible! Are all demons necessarily evil, and must they all be killed?! Even if Ahua is a demon, have you ever seen a trace of murderous intent in her?"

Liang Yihan's expression shifted slightly. He turned his head without making a sound and looked at Yu Xing's probing eyes and the meaningful smile on his lips.

A chilling hatred flashed in Liang Yihan's eyes. He turned to look at Liuli, trying to keep his voice steady. His voice was a little hoarse as he slowly said, "As a disciple of the Yuandao Sect, I, Liang Yihan, am a righteous disciple and it is my duty to eliminate demons and monsters to protect all living beings."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ahua's body in Liuli's arms trembled slightly.

Liuli grew increasingly angry, her cheeks flushed red, and she shouted, "Why can't you explain yourself clearly? I'm telling you, you're not even as good as a little monk! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Although Ahua is a demon, she has never harmed anyone. How is such a demon any different from the common people of your world?"

Most of the Yuandao Sect disciples who had come out to put out the fire had already returned, leaving only a dozen or so disciples who were still looking over in confusion, whispering among themselves.

Upon hearing Liuli casually mention the words "little monk," Liang Yihan's expression shifted. Before he could speak, Yu Xing coldly remarked, "A demon is a demon. What difference is there between good and bad? How laughable."

Liuli was about to argue when Li Molin pulled her back. Liuli turned to look at him and saw him shake his head slightly. He said in a low voice, "Liuli, there's no need to say anything more. You won't understand them. Let's go. If we stay too long, the Yuandao Sect disciples will all come out, and we won't be able to leave."

Helpless, Liuli looked down at Ahua in her arms and whispered, "Ahua?"

Ahua didn't react at all, just curled up in Liuli's arms and didn't move.

Liuli waited for a while, then looked up at Li Molin helplessly and nodded, saying, "Let's go."

Liang Yihan stood quietly on the flying sword, his eyes half-closed, remaining silent.

Yu Xing carefully observed that there were only three demons present, including Li Molin, and one demon, Ahua. Although Liuli could fly in the sky, she showed no trace of demonic or monster aura, which was truly strange. He secretly gave a wink to a Yuandao Sect disciple beside him. The disciple understood and quietly retreated, disappearing into the barrier beside the mountain in a short while.

Yu Ke had been observing the movements of the Yuandao Sect disciples. When he saw that disciple disappear quietly, he quickly approached Li Molin and whispered, "Young Master, we should go."

Li Molin nodded, silently pulled Liuli up, turned around and flew away.

Yu Ke and Ji Jue then turned around and followed closely behind Li Molin and Liu Li.

Seeing this, Yu Xing shouted, "Listen up, all of you! Chase after them and kill them!"
