At that moment, Li Molin stood to the side with a heavy expression, while Liu Lingying was engaged in a fierce battle with Li Gan. To be precise, Liu Lingying was attacking Li Gan like a madwoman, while Li Gan was both shielding her from the incessantly shooting lightning and being forced to defend against her attacks.
Liuli quickly arrived at Li Molin's side, and only then did Li Molin notice her arrival. He turned around, his face lit up with joy, and he called out, "Liuli!"
Liu Li nodded, looking at Liu Lingying and Li Gan locked in combat, and frowned as she asked, "What's going on with them?"
Li Molin's face, which had just shown a hint of a smile, quickly darkened. He turned to look at Liu Lingying and Li Gan and said in a deep voice, "This woman is ruthless. She is determined to fight against Father and is trying to destroy the Chiyou Banner."
Liu Li stared intently at Liu Lingying's appearance for a long time before hesitatingly asking, "Why does she look to me like... she's gone mad?"
Li Molin snorted coldly and said in a chilling voice, "Isn't he crazy? Humph!"
Liuli remained silent. She turned to look at Li Molin and discerned a deep sorrow in his icy eyes.
I vaguely remember his longing and attachment to his mother. On that day in Yuntai Cave, they were trapped in an illusion together. He repeatedly called out the word "mother" with a tender voice, like a helpless child.
However, his mother was an adversary to him and his father.
After a long silence, Liu Li said softly, "Li Molin, don't be sad. She is, after all, a disciple of the righteous sect, and her beliefs are different from yours."
Liu Li's concern and comfort warmed Li Molin's eyes, and he felt a surge of joy. He turned to look at Liu Li and said with a smile, "Okay."
Suddenly, a startled cry rang out from afar: "Junior Sister Ying!"
Liuli and Li Molin looked over in response and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe running quickly towards them, dodging the lightning bolts that kept shooting down from the sky and the piles of raging demonic fire on the ground.
By then, Liu Lingying was exhausted. When she started fighting Li Gan, she had only recovered 30% of her spiritual energy. With no spiritual energy around to replenish her strength, the continuous fighting had already depleted her stamina. If Li Gan hadn't shielded her from all the lightning in the sky, she would probably have been struck by the black and red lightning and burned to death by the demonic fire.
Hearing someone call her brought her to a moment of clarity amidst her near-madness. She quickly stepped back, panting heavily, and turned to look at the source of the voice.
After Liu Lingying stepped back, Li Gan breathed a sigh of relief. He took a few steps back, turned around, and saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest had already run over. He hurriedly ran to Liu Lingying's side, grabbed her arm, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister Ying, let's go!"
At that moment, Liu Lingying's face was pale, her eyes bloodshot, and her expression was a mixture of sorrow and hatred, carrying a hint of helpless powerlessness, making her look exceptionally pitiful. She suddenly flung the middle-aged man's hand away and screamed, "I can't leave! The Chi You Banner hasn't been destroyed, the demon isn't dead, how can I leave?!"
No matter what she said, Li Gan and Li Molin didn't understand her, nor did they comprehend the cruelty of the demonic cultivation techniques. The fact that these two people she loved most were her enemies, her resentment and helplessness towards Li Gan's cruelty and bloodlust, the uncontrollable deep love for Li Gan deep in her heart, and the fact that her beloved son had finally been harmed by the demonic cultivation techniques and turned into the form she disliked the most... all these feelings of resentment and helplessness weighed heavily on her heart, driving her to the brink of madness.
She wanted to save the people of the Central Plains and the righteous disciples from suffering. She could not tolerate the vast Central Plains becoming a place no different from the Demon Realm. However, she could not persuade Li Gan to give up or turn to good. This deep sense of powerlessness caused her great pain, and she was on the verge of collapse.
