"Long Yu is dead. Can I leave now?"

Looking at Xingyu's stunningly beautiful face stained with blood, Li Nezha would never again think that Xingyu was still the pure mermaid princess!

Looking at Long Yu, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, Li Nezha painfully closed his eyes and refused to look at him again.

In response to Xingyu's question, Mo Chen took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Of course!"

With that, Mo Chen waved his hand and sent him away without hesitation.

Long Yu's body was still warm when Li Nezha bent down and picked up the Fire-Tipped Spear. Looking at the blood-stained spearhead, he murmured to himself, "Is all of this my fault...?"

Looking at the helpless Li Nezha, Mo Chen sighed helplessly and said, "This is not your fault."

"No, this is all the result of my arrogance..." Li Nezha knelt down with his head down, looking dejected.

"Sigh..." Mo Chen sighed, stepped forward, took off the mask, and patted his head. "I'm sorry, Nezha, I've left you with such a bad memory..."

"Master! How... how is it you?!" Li Nezha stared at Mo Chen in astonishment.

Li Nezha never expected that the guide's true identity was actually his master!

No!

He should have guessed it from the beginning! Mo Chen never had any intention to kill Li Nezha from the start!

When Li Nezha knelt before Mo Chen, he should have guessed it! He felt no resentment; everything was perfectly natural! It was only because the person before him was his master that kneeling before him was the right thing to do!

Seeing the astonished look on Li Nezha's face, Mo Chen sighed and said, "This is the last lesson I will teach you."

"I hope that no matter what joys, sorrows, or happiness you experience in the future, you will always consider the feelings of those around you."

Even if you are not driven by evil, do not abandon your path of justice!

"Good and evil in the world are not always opposed. You must use your own eyes to judge right and wrong, and do not listen to the instructions of others!"

Li Nezha couldn't help but burst into tears, his eyes reddening. For some reason, he felt that this was Mo Chen's farewell message to him. "Master! Waaah—thank you for your teachings! Thank you so much!"

Mo Chen sighed, "I've accompanied you this far. From now on, you must walk your own path. If fate allows, we will meet again!"

"Master!" Li Nezha cried out in grief upon hearing this.

"You should go now, go back to your parents and take good care of them!" Mo Chen said with a smile.

Li Nezha sniffed, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times heavily. "Disciple will never forget Master's teachings!"

Mo Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the portal to the outside world opened. "Go!"

"Yes!" Li Nezha, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear, walked firmly into the teleportation gate.

Watching Li Nezha disappear, Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, we got rid of that kid! The result isn't too bad; now his candidacy is secured."

“I thought you would tell him about the Nine Springs Realm directly.” Yan Ligu suddenly appeared from behind Mo Chen.

Mo Chen smiled bitterly, "He still has attachments, and besides, I don't want him to bear the stigma of being unfilial! Moreover, I can also see that his abilities are different from Gu Liyan's. He needs to undergo three lifetimes of tribulations before he is qualified to join the Balancers."

"Are you sure you're a check and balancer? Not a sanctioner?" Yan Ligu asked, narrowing his eyes.

“It’s enough to train Gu Liyan as a Punisher. You want to drag my little scumbag into being a Punisher? Absolutely not!” Mo Chen glared at Yan Ligu.

Yan Ligu chuckled, a cunning glint in his eyes. "I really think we should define your profession properly. Are you meant to balance things out or to impose sanctions..."

"No, no, no! Just let me be a clerk and run errands!"

The survivors who left the forbidden area were teleported to their own race's territory.

Cangli successfully obtained the Dragon Ball and returned to the Demon Clan's territory.

Just as he entered the main hall, he saw Gu Liyan walking out of the demon territory and was taken aback, asking with a puzzled look, "Gu Liyan?!"

Gu Liyan looked up and saw Cang Li, somewhat surprised, "It's you?!"

Cangli nodded. Although the two were of opposing races, they did not harbor any deep hatred for each other.

As if they were having a casual chat, Cangli asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"this……"

Before Gu Liyan could explain, Ying Xiao swaggered out of the territory, chuckling with a mocking tone, "Need I say more? Of course, he was captured by the Holy Son!"

Gu Liyan frowned, completely ignoring Ying Xiao's mockery. At this moment, he felt a powerful energy surging within his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Cang Li glared at Ying Xiao. "You have no right to speak here. You better be quiet!"

Ying Xiao immediately shut his mouth, turned around and slipped away.

He certainly couldn't afford to offend Cang Li, who dared to challenge Bu Yunrui!

Gu Liyan looked at Cang Li gratefully and said, "Thank you for helping me out of that predicament."

Cangli shook his head. "It's nothing..."

As he spoke, Gu Liyan's brows furrowed even more, and the surging energy within him brought a burning sensation, making his body extremely hot.

Seeing Gu Liyan's flushed face and pained expression, Cang Li asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Gu Liyan was panting heavily, his body temperature still rising. "I...I don't know either..."

Cang Li stepped forward to examine Gu Liyan's injuries and immediately realized, "You've been hit by a forbidden curse. The curse has taken effect."

Gu Liyan gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face.
