It was late at night, and the cave was pitch black. Mercury activated his spiritual light and was about to step forward when he spotted a flickering fluorescent light not far away on the opposite mountainside...
"Hide first." Mercury instructed, and September and Su Li, also known as Li'er, helped Mo Tian up on either side and quickly hid behind a tree.
Mercury stood by the roadside, holding her little black dog, watching the figure across the street approaching from afar.
The figures gradually became clearer; it was Bai He Bi Yu, who was holding the blue cat, appearing on the cold, windswept lawn.
"Why are you here?" Mercury asked, stepping forward in confusion.
“We were brought here by the King,” Jade explained. “The King wept, as if he were guided to bring us here.”
Guidance? Tears? Even when spirits are separated, they can indeed sense each other, thus enabling guidance. As for the tears, he must have known what Wan'er had done.
Mercury looked up by the fluorescent light and, sure enough, there was a blue cat lying on Jade's arm, tears welling in its eyes...
"Maybe it's not too late." Mercury's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone. At this moment, there was still half an hour until midnight.
At that moment, Mo Tian's gaze shifted, landing on the silly version of herself peeking out from behind the big tree on her left. Tears finally streamed down her face...
"Meow!" Upon seeing its original form, the blue cat let out a sharp cry and leaped towards it.
However, the Soul-Locking Bell immediately emitted a buzzing sound, and with a "ding!", a strange light emanated from Mo Tian's neck, the resulting wave of light repelling the Blue Cat back...
"Your Majesty!" Biyu was startled and cried out in alarm.
Fortunately, Mercury reacted quickly, rushing forward and catching Mo Tian in her arms. However, she was also jolted back two steps by an invisible force before regaining her balance.
It seems the spirits can't unite; the Soul-Locking Bell is the obstacle. What can we do? No, I must save Wan'er! A flash of blue light appeared in his eyes, and the blue cat's eyes gleamed like lightning. Suddenly, it raised a front paw, and a white light flashed through its thick fur. A scepter about a foot long then shot out...
Ah! Mercury was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what Mo Tian was going to do.
There's a legend in the spirit world that when a spirit separates and encounters an object that possesses demonic power, there's a perilous way to escape: let one of the spirits die first. The soul, leaving the body, will then break free from the demon's control.
However, this method is very dangerous, because once the soul loses control, it can never return if one is not careful.
With time running out, it seems Mo Tian is prepared to take a desperate gamble.
This Hua Motian, for Wan'er's sake, is going to risk his life again!
"Mo Tian!" Just as Mercury shook his head, sweating for the other party, the scepter became slender and, without hesitation, pierced Mo Tian's heart.
With a soft "plop," "Ah!" the scepter was pulled out, and a spurt of blood gushed out. Mo Tian's somewhat clumsy body then collapsed...
His blood gushed out like a fountain...
"Your Majesty!" The scene terrified those around them. September, Su Li, the little black dog that jumped off the insect Mercury, Bai He, and Bi Yu all gathered around.
The spurting blood dripped onto them.
"Your Majesty!" Just as Mo Tian collapsed, Bi Yu and Bai He rushed forward, embracing his body and weeping bitterly. "Your Majesty, how could you be so foolish? Wake up!"
Mo Tian's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, and his body began to feel lighter...
