"Brother—" Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen with surprise, but then his surprise turned into excitement, and when he saw that Mo Chen was covered in blood, his excitement turned into worry.

Looking at Mo Chen again, he stared blankly at Wu Wenfeng for a moment, then turned his head away helplessly after confirming the face: We've been caught again...

Gu Liyan looked at Wu Wenfeng and Mo Chen with a puzzled expression. Logically speaking, Wu Wenfeng's brother was from this world. He didn't know where Mo Chen came from, but he was certain that the two of them could not possibly know each other, let alone be brothers!

But they unexpectedly found themselves as brothers, and Mo Chen, the person involved, didn't refute it but rather admitted it. What's going on? Why are they brothers? Could it be that Mo Chen came to this world before?

Despite his many questions, Gu Liyan didn't have time to think too much and simply said, "Let's go!"

He then led An Qianbai and the others to Mo Chen's side. After glancing at Mo Chen, who was covered in injuries, Gu Liyan frowned, let out a long breath, and said, "We can talk about it later. Let's go back and rest first."

Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan and nodded, then looked at Wu Wenfeng, who looked worried, and nodded gently to him as well. "Yes, I'll explain to you later..."

After saying that, he transformed into a stream of light and entered Gu Liyan's body. Mo Chen disappeared from everyone's sight. Not only was An Qianbai extremely surprised, but even Jin Yi looked at Gu Liyan with a look of astonishment.

With a cold face, Gu Liyan waved his hand and turned to An Yu and the others, coldly saying, "Some people and some things need to be settled properly!"

An Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You're just a seventh-level Astounding Cloud cultivator, where do you get such confidence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan raised a hand with a cold face, and a wave of cold air swept over, covering An Yu with a layer of frost!

An Yu was startled and quickly retreated, which prevented the icicles from freezing him.

"You're really lucky!" Gu Liyan said with a squinty smile.

"You bastard, you're also a member of the Chess Alliance!" An Yu looked at Gu Liyan with surprise.

"If you say so, then it is!" Gu Liyan had just said one sentence when he suddenly heard Mo Chen's telepathic message:

"This guy seems to be a high-ranking member of the Shadow Hall. He said he's not afraid of the Chess Alliance, so we can take this opportunity to promote the Chess Alliance!"

Gu Liyan gave a wicked smile, revealing a fox-like grin that sent chills down An Le's spine. She couldn't help but tug at An Yu's sleeve, "Hey, let's... let's go... this guy is tough to deal with."

"Leave? My Shadow Hall's territory is just ten miles away. How can we desert on our own turf!" An Yu coldly stared at Gu Liyan. "You dare to fight me one-on-one!"

Gu Liyan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, are you afraid of us few? Do you think we can defeat dozens of you? If that's the case, fine, I agree! By the way, let's also tell the world that your Shadow Hall is nothing compared to the Chess Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yi glanced at Gu Liyan, whose entire body was shrouded in a murderous aura. Gu Liyan didn't seem like the usual Gu Liyan at all. Only then did Jin Yi realize that Gu Liyan clearly had a grudge against the Chess Alliance! That's why he was using the Chess Alliance as a pretext to fight his Shadow Hall!

He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

"You... I'm just afraid you'll go back and tell everyone that my Shadow Hall bullied the weak with numbers!" An Yu choked, then immediately thought of an excuse.

"Hmph, ganging up on the few? Aren't most of you just ambushing thieves? Why are you talking to me about a gentleman's agreement now?" Gu Liyan sneered.

“Gu Liyan, I’ve heard the young lady mention you, but you should also understand that my Shadow Hall is the birthplace of the person you’re protecting, so you’d better…” Anle hurriedly spoke up when she saw that things were not going well.

Before An Le could finish speaking, An Qianbai stepped forward and coldly said, "Although I have the title of young lady, none of you have treated me as such! Instead, you all avoid me, use me, and in the end, you don't even trust me and imprison me in a cage. What affection do I have for you?"

Upon hearing An Qianbai's words, An Le was speechless.

"Why bother talking so much to them? You are my woman. No matter who they are, anyone who hurts you is my sworn enemy! Besides, they injured my brother. Even if you have a god to save you, it won't help!" Gu Liyan grabbed An Qianbai's hand, sensing her restless heart. Gu Liyan exuded an icy aura. "Anyone who makes you unhappy is my enemy!"

An Qianbai looked at her hands, then looked up at Gu Liyan. Even though he exuded a cold aura, the colder the coldness, the hotter Gu Liyan's love for her was.

An Le sighed as she watched An Qianbai and Gu Liyan's intimate actions. "Young Miss, it's not that we're deliberately trying to be your enemy, but the Hall Master ordered that we absolutely cannot accept any orders from you until you meet someone who can help you resist the death energy within you. Now, I think the person beside you is your destined benefactor, so your orders have been effective, therefore..."

At this point, An Le raised her hand to dispel the disguise, revealing a handsome face. She then knelt on one knee before An Qianbai and said, "Please return to the hall, Miss!"

Seeing Anle's reaction, everyone behind her knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Please return to the hall, Miss!"

Gu Liyan frowned. If An Qianbai nodded, should he seek revenge or not? In order to get justice for Mo Chen, Gu Liyan gritted his teeth—he would!

Gu Liyan made up his mind, but before he could speak, An Qianbai grabbed his sleeve.
