But why...?

Why take care of him? Why is living such a difficult life?

No answer —

Tears welled up in Lei Dong's eyes, drying several times in the wind.

Lei Dong felt his vision blurring, and he slumped wearily against Mo Chen's shoulder, his breathing becoming rapid...

Sensing that Lei Dong's aura was somewhat weak, Mo Chen immediately became anxious. "Hey! Hang in there! As long as we get back, Gu Liyan can save you!" Mo Chen hurriedly said.

"Save me... No, don't bother... I've already lost... my reason to live..." Lei Dong's consciousness was somewhat unclear, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After saying that, he fainted.

"Damn it! Don't you dare die!" Mo Chen suddenly quickened his pace...

Ultimately, it was he who caused Lei Dong's injuries to be so severe.

Mo Chen had been following them closely. When Lei Dong was injured, he had every opportunity to stop him, but when he thought about Gu Liyan's relationship with the brothers, he had a thought of letting him die.

To be precise, he just didn't want to save that guy Lei Li!

Helpless, he could only watch quietly from the sidelines. In any case, Gu Changge hadn't dealt him a fatal blow, nor could she kill him...

Who would have thought that Lei Dong would risk his life to protect Lei Li? However, in the end, Lei Li betrayed him, completely disregarding Lei Dong's life and death, and ran away without hesitation!

This is absolutely despicable!

After Lei Li ran away, just as Gu Changge was about to deliver the final blow to Lei Dong, Mo Chen appeared without hesitation and rescued Lei Dong, even ignoring Gu Changge!

Mo Chen arrived at the mountain gate, panting heavily. This was the first time he had used up all his energy to travel this far!

Mo Chen took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Gu Liyan—"

At this moment, Gu Liyan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and felt the urgent warning from the life-and-death contract with Mo Chen. He flashed and arrived directly at the mountain gate.

"Mo Chen, what happened..." Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Mo Chen collapsed to the ground, and Lei Dong, covered in blood, also fell beside him.

"Help, help him!" Mo Chen gasped for breath before fainting.

Gu Liyan hurriedly stepped forward, hoisted the two of them onto his shoulders, one on each side, and then flashed away again, appearing in his new room the next second.

After glancing at Mo Chen and then at Lei Dong, Gu Liyan threw Mo Chen to the ground without hesitation, and then carefully placed Lei Dong on the bed to examine him.

All of his internal organs were damaged, and the hole in his chest pierced through Lei Dong's lungs. If Mo Chen hadn't done the first aid, he would probably be dead by now.

"Such severe injuries, and without the self-healing ability of a demon body like mine, what can a mortal human do..." Gu Liyan frowned as she looked at Lei Dong, at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Mo Chen rubbed his aching face and sat up, cursing, "Damn it, who threw me on the ground... and I fell face down!"

Upon seeing Mo Chen wake up, Gu Liyan hurriedly ran forward and grabbed his collar.

"Gu, Gu Liyan? What... ah—" Mo Chen was dragged directly to Lei Dong by Gu Liyan.

"You should know how to save him! Hurry up and save him!"

Mo Chen rubbed his head. "There is a way..."

"Really? Then you'd better save him quickly!"

Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan and said with a smirk, "My solution is for you to come and save him!"

"What do you mean? You want me to save him?! I'm not a doctor, how can I save him?!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, listen to me. You know why the Nine Springs Realm is called the Nine Springs Realm, because the living cannot be born and the dead cannot die, right?"

Gu Liyan frowned slightly. "So, you mean you want Lei Dong to become a person of the Nine Springs Realm?"

“Yes! But that’s not right either! After all, his abilities are limited. Whether it’s his own strength or the physical endurance of his body, he’s not qualified for the sect to acknowledge him! If he can’t be acknowledged, he can’t travel back and forth to the Nine Springs Realm.” Mo Chen glanced at Lei Dong and said.

"So you mean..."

"Let him be your companion!"

Gu Liyan stared at Mo Chen in shock. "What?"

“But, can’t you only have one companion? Besides, I already have… you…” Gu Liyan said with a frown.

"Pfft, hahaha, why do you sound like you're talking to your lover?" Mo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gu Liyan rolled her eyes. "Hey, can't you be serious when we're talking about serious matters!"

"Alright, alright, I understand. Actually, what I mean is, since you've already learned the Soul Splitting Technique, why not use it to give your other self a companion weapon? Not only will it greatly increase the actual number of split souls, but it will also give you two companion weapons!"

Gu Liyan suddenly realized, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?! Mo Chen, you're a fucking genius!"

"Don't flatter me, you should hurry up and save her. I'll go check on Gu Yixian for you." Mo Chen waved his hand and walked out.

As he closed the door, Mo Chen's face darkened: Gu Yixian's body contained only the possessing soul, while Gu Changge's body contained the original soul. If that's the case, I wonder what the original soul's current cultivation level is... With a great battle imminent, not even knowing the enemy's moves is truly troublesome!

No! I have to test Gu Yixian for Gu Liyan!

Thinking it over, Mo Chen frowned and walked towards Gu Yixian's room—

At this moment, Gu Liyan was sitting cross-legged, and his body was decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into countless spiritual lights that floated in the room.

Immediately, the spiritual body split into two piles, then reassembled, transforming into two identical Gu Liyans!
