Yin Yang felt that his previous choice was incredibly stupid.

Fortunately, he realized his mistake in time and didn't make a serious error. But now, he has no chance!

Before us stood Gu Liyan, anxious; Xiao Long, worried; and Xiao Hu, filled with regret.

Yin Yang harbored no hatred, but rather a sense of relief. He calmly spoke, "Gu Liyan... please stop wasting your life-giving energy for me..."

At this point, Yin Yang felt his tongue stiffen, and he hurriedly spoke, word by word, "I'm sorry... Gu Liyan... I... I no longer have the ability to fight alongside you..."

"What?" Upon hearing Yin Yang's voice, Gu Liyan felt uneasy.

Yin Yang grabbed Gu Liyan and hurriedly said, "Tell Qing'er... I... I betrayed her, I returned to the Heavenly Palace..."

"What? Yin Yang, what are you talking about? How could you possibly betray me!" Gu Liyan looked at Yin Yang in confusion.

"Gu Liyan... In this life... I can no longer... protect her!" The voice of Yin and Yang gradually weakened.

Gu Liyan shuddered; he seemed to have heard those words somewhere before—

"No! Yin Yang, Yin Yang, hold on! You'll be alright! I'll use my life-giving power to save you! You'll be alright!" Gu Liyan said urgently, her eyes red.

Yin Yang shook his head. "Don't waste any more time... it's already started..."

Gu Liyan was stunned. He immediately looked up at the sky. The darkness that suddenly descended on the sky was the same as that of Thousand Absolute Mountain, and also the same as that of the Heavenly Palace!

The demons have arrived, and in the end, they have come in their demonic form! Gu Liyan subconsciously clenched his fists, hating himself for not wiping out the demons back then!

“Gu Liyan…”

Hearing Yin Yang call his name, Gu Liyan subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

"You are my friend Yin Yang... I will always... stand behind you... to help you protect the people you love!" Yin Yang smiled and looked at Gu Liyan, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Before Gu Liyan could react, Yin Yang's body transformed into a jet-black sword and hovered in front of him.

"Yin, Yin and Yang!" Gu Liyan trembled all over.

So that's what he meant when he said he couldn't fight! So that's what he meant when he said he'd help me protect my loved one!

Gu Liyan's hand trembled slightly as he gripped the Yin-Yang Sword in his palm. In that instant, his aura suddenly erupted, directly overpowering the bloodline aura of Xiaolong and Xiaohu beside him.

Xiao Long stared in astonishment at the sword in Gu Liyan's hand, "So, the true form of this sword spirit is actually this powerful..."

Xiao Hu lowered his head and said remorsefully, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Just as Xiaolong began to blame himself, the sword in Gu Liyan's hand trembled slightly and emitted a sword resonance. Gu Liyan immediately closed his eyes to listen to the voice emanating from Yin and Yang, and responded:

Yin Yang doesn't blame you; he thanks you for helping him make his choice.

— Fate may sometimes treat us unfairly, but it is actually helping us make the right choices!
