Sunset Peak.
Mu Siyue sat by the window with a calm expression, looking up and down at the person in front of her.
"Didn't you say that she would never come back after going down the mountain this time?" Mu Siyue asked coldly.
Gui Ren sneered. He had no idea that Cen Ji would come so quickly. He had been hiding in the dark before the people from Qingshu Pavilion came. He was just about to catch Yan Ying.
He had been in contact with Mu Siyue for a long time, and when he learned that he could not defeat Cen Ji, he came to find her.
He originally thought that the people in the sect would hate the Demon Realm very much, but he didn't expect Mu Siyue to agree to cooperate with him without saying anything.
Mu Siyue’s condition is spirit stones and spirit pills to help her reach Dingkun level.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She practiced non-stop all day long, but her cultivation level hadn't improved at all.
Although she had only one spiritual root, her cultivation speed was even slower than those with two spiritual roots. Seven years had passed, and her cultivation had only just reached the Golden Core stage.
"You said that Cen Ji became the Lord of the Demon Realm. He should have changed a lot, right? After not seeing each other for so many years, will he still remember the friendship we had back then?" Mu Siyue said softly.
Seven years ago, she chose to stay with Cang Jinglan. She thought that as long as she was obedient and treated him sincerely in the future, he would be interested in her.
But she was wrong. Cang Jinglan had never had her in his heart. Just like the dream she had once had, there would be no future between her and Cang Jinglan.
So in the past seven years, apart from reporting her practice results to Cang Jinglan every month, she hardly saw him.
"Whether he remembers it or not, you'll know if you try it yourself." Ghost Blade said without changing his expression.
"Since you have the leverage over him, why are you threatened by him?" Mu Siyue asked, ignoring Gui Ren's words. She already knew about the Delusion Devouring Curse.
When she agreed to cooperate with Gui Ren, she thought that Gui Ren was Cen Ji's man, and if she cooperated with him, she would be able to see Cen Ji again.
But things were not as she thought. Ghost Blade's goal was to control Cen Ji and replace him as the Lord of the Demon Realm. How could she help him harm Cen Ji?
"This is not your business." Ghost Blade looked at Mu Siyue with a gloomy expression.
It was with the help of the Delusion-Devouring Curse in his hand that he was able to fight against Cen Ji in the Demon Realm for so many years, but now he has already broken most of the Delusion-Devouring Curse in Cen Ji's body.
If he uses the Delusion-Devouring Curse to control Cen Ji again now, he will surely suffer backlash.
"As long as you keep an eye on Yan Ying and hand her over to me, I can return to the Demon Realm and you can get what you want." Ghost Blade said coldly.
Cen Ji's weakness is Yan Ying. As long as he captures Yan Ying, he will have no worries about not being able to return to the Demon Realm.
I don’t know how Ning Hai knew that Yan Ying would be in danger. If Mu Siyue hadn’t let him into the Guiyun Sect’s formation, he really wouldn’t have been able to get in.
This time, they failed to capture Yan Ying, which had already alerted the enemy. Cen Ji must have rearranged people to guard Yan Ying.
"I will naturally do what I promised you." Mu Siyue's eyes were no longer as clear as before.
She didn't know why Yan Ying had such good luck that Cen Ji would always protect her and that her fellow disciples in the sect would change their views of her.
It just so happens that she is extremely talented and has a very good understanding. Her current cultivation level is two levels higher than hers.
Although she knew that helping Gui Ren capture Yan Ying might be detrimental to Cen Ji, she could not stand being suppressed by Yan Ying in every way.
Only if Yan Ying died, Cen Ji would not be threatened by anyone. She was also helping Cen Ji.
The people from Qingshu Pavilion also wanted Yan Ying's life, and it was she who revealed Yan Ying's whereabouts to them every time.
"Yan Ying is now well protected. If you want to catch her, you still have to start with the people around her." Mu Siyue said softly with her eyes lowered.
"The people around her? I've observed these days that the people around her have high cultivation levels, and they're not low either..." Gui Ren pondered Mu Siyue's words in his mind.
If he hadn't been desperate, he would never have come to Guiyun Sect to seek cooperation with a small Jindan cultivator.
In fact, he had some ulterior motives in approaching Mu Siyue. After all, she had once saved Cen Ji's life, so she had some friendship with Cen Ji.
Even if he couldn't catch Yan Ying, he still had a backup plan and could take Mu Siyue away directly.
"I know someone who has a close relationship with Yan Ying. If you can use him..." Mu Siyue looked at Gui Ren with dark eyes.
Ghost Blade lowered his eyes after listening to Mu Siyue's words.
