Hearing An Qingling's words, Gu Liyan took a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, "Why should I hide? I didn't say I wanted to fight you, I just wanted you to tell me her whereabouts..."

Hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qingling's heart pounded wildly! Was this guy insane?! Why didn't he dodge? Wasn't he afraid of dying? Those were bone-piercing nails that could pierce through the soul and bones!

If he dies, the mission will completely go astray! That woman... didn't give the order to kill him!

"Are you scared?" Gu Liyan looked at her trembling body, raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked.

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked towards An Qingling.

An Qingling trembled and, hearing Gu Liyan's approaching footsteps, hurriedly shouted, "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, the next bone-piercing nail will pierce your head!"

Gu Liyan paused, his gaze suddenly turning icy. He narrowed his eyes, looked at An Qingling, and asked with a smile, "Are you trying to kill me?"

As An Qingling listened to Gu Liyan's voice, her body trembled even more violently.

Gu Liyan, who had just been acting like a useless piece of trash, suddenly became sharp and domineering.

"You, you stay away!" An Qingling wanted to escape. She truly hated it; why was she a cripple? She desperately wanted to run away!

Gu Liyan looked at An Qingling coldly and said, "To be honest, you could have easily intimidated me with your spiritual pressure, or even killed me outright. But you've chosen the wrong person to test my limits!"

An Qingling's teeth chattered. She didn't know why she was so afraid of Gu Liyan. He was only at the fifth level of the Soaring Cloud Realm, far inferior to her own sixth level, not to mention that he had been hit by her Bone-Piercing Nail...

Why is that?

An Qingling trembled all over, feeling a little cold...

Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I can respect you as a disabled person. You can scold me, hit me, hurt me, make me bleed, make me cry, but... you can't let me die!"

An Qingling raised her head in a daze. If she could see, she would find that Gu Liyan's gaze was terrifyingly cold, filled with contempt and mockery, and a trace of pity as he looked at her.

Gu Liyan moved swiftly, arriving in front of An Qingling in an instant.

The stench of blood emanating from Gu Liyan suddenly intensified, causing An Qingling to gasp in astonishment, unable to utter a single word.

"You can't see it, but you rely on the smell of blood as your eyes, so you should be able to sense it, right?" Gu Liyan raised his hand and pinched An Qingling's chin, speaking coldly:

"If I wanted to hide, even a hundred of you couldn't hit me! If I wanted to die, you wouldn't be the last one among a thousand people! Besides, it's not that I'm useless, it's that I'm too lazy to fight with ants!" Gu Liyan said coldly.

An Qingling was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth, swallowed hard, and hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry..."

Gu Liyan released her chin and said coldly, "Forget it, I don't want to fight a disabled person. I just want to know where Xiao Bai is now? You know what? You should be happy to tell me, right?"

Hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qingling's voice trembled with fear:

"She, she's in the Shadow Hall of the Imperial City..."

"Is the Shadow Hall also in the Imperial City?" Gu Liyan frowned and then asked, "Why did you capture her and take her back?"

"Because, because the young lady..." Before An Qingling could continue, she suddenly felt a loud bang in her head, as if something had exploded, and she immediately slumped into her wheelchair.

Gu Liyan was startled and rushed over to check on him. "Hey, you, what's wrong with you...?"

After checking her nose, Gu Liyan paused, then said, "She's not breathing..."

Mo Chen exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! How could she suddenly die? This is really weird!"

Gu Liyan frowned. "It's impossible for him to die suddenly. Someone must have tampered with it. You guessed it."

Gu Liyan subconsciously looked around and suddenly saw a person's back flash by. "Someone's there! Mo Chen, hurry and chase after them!"

As soon as Gu Liyan finished speaking, Mo Chen jumped out of the contract space. "I'm going to chase after them right now!!"

"Wait! Put on your mask!" Gu Liyan reminded him.

Mo Chen nodded, put on his mask, and chased after the shadowy figure.

After Mo Chen left, Gu Liyan lowered his head to examine An Qingling and found a small silver needle stuck in the back of her neck.

"Could this be the cause of her death..." Gu Liyan frowned, looking at the area where the silver needles were inserted and began to slowly turn black, muttering to himself...

——

Mo Chen followed closely behind the man in black, shouting as he chased, "Stop! You scoundrel! Don't run!"

Regardless of whether the man in black would stop after hearing this, Mo Chen, who was traveling on the wind, was faster than him anyway, and it was only a matter of time before he caught up with him.

In the blink of an eye, the fast-moving Mo Chen overtook the man in black and blocked his way.

"Damn it! Besides that kid Gu Liyan who can keep up with my speed, you're the only one who gave me some trouble! But when it comes to legwork, you're still too green for me, Mo Chen!" Mo Chen raised his chin smugly and said, "Finally, I caught up with you! You scoundrel!"

The man in black squinted at Mo Chen and clapped his hands silently.

"What are you doing? Do you think you can just clap your hands and a bunch of people will come to help you? That's a scene from a novel!" Mo Chen said with a look of disdain, but as soon as he finished speaking, he froze on the spot.

Then, another group of men in black appeared around him...

Mo Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips, and said awkwardly, "I, I was just saying, don't take it seriously!"
