"Waaah, I don't want to die! I don't want to become an idiot! I don't want to stay here! Save me! Save me, Nezha!" Xingyu shouted, his face pale, and grabbed someone's trouser leg as he wailed.

Cangli stared blankly at Xingyu. Apart from Mochen, she was probably the only one present who knew what Xingyu had gone through.

Returning to her old haunts and facing a life-or-death decision again was a severe blow to her.

Mo Chen flashed in front of her and shouted, "Hai Zu Xing Yu, you wrongly accused my disciple of killing a dragon, forcing him to commit suicide. Today, you shall die in the netherworld!"

Mo Chen raised his paper fan and gently fanned her. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xing Yu had no time to dodge the sharp edge of the wind blade and was directly cut in half.

Mo Chen turned around, looking innocently at the crowd behind him with a strange smile. "It seems you're unfamiliar with the rules here. In that case..."

Mo Chen turned his gaze to the white-robed youth. "Mo Li, why don't you tell them what the Nine Springs are?"

"The Nine Springs are located beneath the heavens and above the Yellow Springs..." Gu Liyan stepped forward, holding an umbrella, and spoke softly, "The living are not born, and the dead are not killed; they are considered to be in the Nine Springs!"

As she spoke, she slowly raised the red umbrella in her hand, stood in front of Bu Yunrui, and put on a rare smile. "It's been a long time, Your Majesty!"

Bu Yunrui trembled all over. "It's you—Gu Liyan!"

"Your Holiness is mistaken. My name is Mo Li." Mo Li smiled slightly, her beauty still breathtaking enough to move heaven and earth!

Bu Yunrui took a deep breath. "You..."

He desperately wanted to ask Gu Liyan whether he was dead or alive, but after hearing what he had just said, he didn't dare to ask anymore...

Is this Jiuquan (Nine Springs) truly a place where the living cannot live and the dead cannot perish?

So, Gu Liyan, and Mo Li, are they alive or dead?
