Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 12 The Abyss of Adversity

“This person is named Gu Liyan. He is not a member of the Celestial Clan, but a member of the Demon Clan,” Tianyi said.

"Oh? That's interesting. As a demon, how come you weren't executed by the Celestial Clan? Is there some secret behind it?" Cang Mu's sinister smile made Gu Liyan uneasy.

Tianyi glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "Maybe so. I'm not too clear about his situation."

Gu Liyan listened to Tianyi and Cangmu discussing him, and hurriedly turned around and fled.

Seeing this, Cang Mu couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, I didn't expect him to be such a cunning fox!"

Tianyi remained silent, nor did he pursue the matter of the divine artifact compass...

"Since you can't do it either, I can't fulfill our agreement either." Cang Mu looked at Tian Yi and said, "You'd better take care of yourself!"

With that, he turned and headed in the direction Gu Liyan had fled.

Tianyi sighed, looking lost and helpless as he stood outside the door.

At that moment, a beautiful figure approached the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Before Tianyi could see the person clearly, the long whip was already in front of him, and he hurriedly dodged the attack by turning his body aside.

"Stop! Cang Yue!" A faint voice reached Tian Yi's ears, and only then did he see who it was.

It was Cang Yue, with her hot figure and stunning looks, but filled with anger, and Qian Mo, who was covered in injuries and looked pale.

Qianmo held Cangyue's hand tightly, preventing her from attacking Tianyi again.

"Let go! Don't stop me!" Cang Yue struggled incessantly, completely disregarding whether Qian Mo was injured.

"Cangyue, don't do this..." Qianmo felt powerless.

Tianyi stroked his chin, looking like a bystander watching a young couple argue.

"Get out of my way!" Cang Yue pushed Qian Mo to the ground with force and attacked Tian Yi without any mercy.

"Ouch...that hurts!" Qianmo got up from the ground, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Cangyue attacking Tianyi. She was so frightened that she shivered and hurriedly ran over, "Don't hurt my master!"

Cang Yue was taken aback when she heard Qian Mo's last words, and the whip in her hand shot out like a snake—

laugh--

Blood splattered on the ground, staining a large area red.

Cang Yue stared blankly at Qian Mo, whose chest was torn open with a long and hideous wound. The long whip in her hand was covered in bloody liquid, which kept dripping onto the ground.

Tianyi helped Qianmo up from behind, "Xiao Mo!"

"No, it's nothing..." Qianmo's eyes twitched, the pain making her feel completely powerless!

Cang Yue threw away her whip and walked towards Qian Mo. "I'm sorry, Qian Mo... I... I didn't mean to!"

Qianmo looked at Cangyue and scolded, "Don't come any closer!"

Cang Yue was startled and immediately stood still.

“Go back! Go back to your demon clan! Don’t… never come to the Heavenly Palace again!” Qianmo said resolutely.

"Qian, Qianmo?" Cangyue stared blankly at Qianmo.

"Don't... let me see you again!" Qianmo gritted her teeth and said.

Cang Yue gritted her teeth, held back her tears, and turned to leave!

As Cang Yue walked away, Qian Mo's pupils gradually dilated, and the icy aura emanating from his body made Tian Yi shiver involuntarily.

"Xiao Mo? You?" Tian Yi asked anxiously.

"Master, I... my Burial Soul has awakened—" Qianmo twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm losing control of it! Master... I don't want to become a killing machine, Master, please, kill me!"

Kill me—

Tianyi trembled all over. "What are you saying! You brat, if you keep saying such nonsense, I'll... I'll..."

A strange silver glint flashed in Qianmo's eyes. "Master, hurry, hurry! It's too late, he's coming out. Please, I don't want our two races to reach a point where they can't coexist!"

Tianyi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid of him. If even you are afraid of him, none of us can stop him!"

Suddenly, Tianyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea. "Girl, you wait here. I'll capture Gu Liyan and have him seal the Burial Soul with Xuanbing! You wait!"

With that, Tianyi hurriedly left.

Qianmo's vision went completely white, and tears streamed down her face. "Why do you always appear just when I'm making a decision...?"

"Because you're so fragile, you're simply incapable of making the right choices! Let me help you!"

Suddenly, Qianmo's voice turned sharp, and then his eyes were filled with gray—

——Divider——

Gu Liyan kept running away, but found that he couldn't shake off the terrifying middle-aged man behind him. His abilities were comparable to those of the guy named Mo Chen!

No!

Or he's stronger!

Suddenly, Gu Liyan's body sank, his energy nearly depleted, and he plummeted from the sky.

“How…why…pfft—” Gu Liyan fell to the ground, spitting out blood and looking extremely disheveled.

"You're lucky to have survived until now after being hit by my Dark Demon Palm!" Cang Mu approached unhurriedly.

"Cough cough..." Gu Liyan barely managed to stand up. "Who exactly are you?"

"Me? I am Cang Mu, the patriarch of the Demon Clan! What a coincidence, you know my secret!" Cang Mu sneered.

Gu Liyan gritted his teeth, glanced at the abyss behind him, and couldn't help but smile. "You think you control other people's lives and deaths? Little do you know, you are also someone who teeters on the brink of life and death!"

"What?" Cang Mu squinted at Gu Liyan.

At that moment, a chain flew out from Gu Liyan's sleeve, locking Cang Mu's wrist. "You, you fox demon—"

"Come on! Let's fall into the abyss together!" Gu Liyan leaped backward, dragging the chains with all his might.

"Damn it, you fox demon! How dare you, a junior, control my life and death, as the dignified patriarch of the Demon Clan! Die!" Cang Mu raised his hand, and the dark energy in his hand shot directly towards Gu Liyan.

"ah--"

Gu Liyan screamed in agony, his hands losing all strength to pull on the chains, and he plummeted into the abyss—
