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 23 The Ultimate Dance of Spirits

Gu Liyan felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being watched by prey.

In contrast, Mo Chen frowned unusually and remained silent.

Tianxuan glanced at Gu Liyan and said coldly, "Gu Liyan, can you trust me?"

Gu Liyan gave it a cold glance and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. You can just surrender!"

"You vixen!"

“That’s right. We can’t let them work for nothing. Let’s add a wager.” Bu Yunrui suddenly smiled wickedly. “If the alien race that sent them to fight wins, we can make the two races agree to any of his terms!”

“It’s any agreement!” Bu Yunrui emphasized with a smile.

Any agreement?!

Gu Liyan's gaze sharpened as he looked directly at Hua Baixian. If he won, then—

"I wonder if your Celestial Clan really has any alien assistance? If not, why not just admit defeat and end this sooner..." Bu Yunrui said with a smile.

Gu Liyan stepped forward without hesitation. "I am Gu Liyan of the demon race. I have come to assist the Celestial Race!"

"Big brother! Don't go, this must be a trap!" Rui Xin hurriedly pulled Gu Liyan away.

Now that Luo Zichen is unconscious, the only one who can stop Gu Liyan is Rui Xin.

"This should be my only chance. If I win the match, I can take Hua Baixian away!" Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian with tender eyes. "Then, no one will be able to stop us!"

Gu Liyan had noticed long ago that Hua Baixian was wearing a pink dress today, the same one she wore when they first met.

He thought that Hua Baixian must also be looking forward to the end of this battle, that must be it!

Therefore, no matter who the opponent is, Gu Liyan must win!

Tianxuan glanced at Gu Liyan but didn't speak, indicating that he had tacitly agreed.

"Tianxuan, look at this..." Tianyou was somewhat worried. These god-kings who hadn't made a move from beginning to end had their limelight stolen by others, and even in the end, it was this alien guy who stole the spotlight! How could he tolerate this?

"His aura has changed, didn't you feel it?" Tianyi suddenly spoke up, actually pleading for Gu Liyan.

“Besides, we have no other candidates, do we?” Emperor Tianyu said.

"You, you all..." Tianyou was powerless and could only wave his hand with a forced smile. "Forget it, I don't care anymore. If this Heavenly Palace becomes the property of the Demon Clan in the future, I won't say another word!"

“Hey, you idiot over there! Our Celestial Clan’s assistant is the big brother, what about you?” Rui Xin asked.

Bu Yunrui said with a smile, "You all know the people we're sending out..."

Saying this, they made way for each other—

Then, a handsome man in a blue robe, holding a white paper fan, walked up to the crowd.

Seeing Gu Liyan's shocked expression, Mo Chen greeted him with a smile, "Oh, Gu Liyan, I didn't expect to be fighting you again. As a matter of courtesy, I think I should introduce myself before we fight—"

Gu Liyan looked up at Mo Chen, and the familiar bow made him momentarily panicked...

"I am Mo Chen of the Mo Clan!"

"The Ink Clan?!" Gu Liyan's pupils constricted sharply as she suddenly recalled the first words Gu Changyuan had spoken to her at Thousand Absolute Mountain...

—My name is Mo Han!

Gu Changyuan, are you connected to the Ink Clan?!
