Li Muge, with a numb expression, mercilessly pulled the gold hairpin from Wuchen's neck.
Fresh blood gushed out.
Wuchen subconsciously raised his hand to cover his neck. His world was plunged into darkness, but what puzzled him more than the pain in his neck was why he felt heartache.
He clearly had no feelings for Li Muge.
Why was my heart affected by Li Muge's pain?
The Empress knelt on the ground nervously: "Chen'er."
The spot where Wuchen stood transformed into a raging sea of fire. Li Muge raised his hand, silently chanting an incantation, preparing to reopen the Sealed Hell.
Suddenly her heart turned cold, and she lost her magic and fell heavily to the ground.
"Guardian!" Niu Zhan tried to rush over to save Li Muge, but was desperately stopped by the other heavenly generals.
"You wretched child." The Phoenix King held the spirit pearl in his hands, his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration as he looked at the disheveled Li Muge.
Everything was fine at first. Even though Li Muge wasn't his biological daughter, he was still willing to let Li Muge stay in the clan as long as she didn't harbor jealousy or evil intentions.
She is still their daughter.
But today, witnessing Li Muge's slaughter in the Heavenly Court, he even wanted to seal the Heavenly Emperor's son in Hell.
If we do not eliminate them, we will surely be ashamed before the Three Realms.
"Haha, haha." Li Muge gritted his teeth, leaning on his sword as he stood up: "You wretched child, Phoenix King, don't you think your words are ridiculous?"
The Spirit Pearl faintly glowed in the Phoenix King's palm, making Li Muge feel even more ridiculous and sad.
With tears in her eyes, she struggled to her feet, using her sword for support: "Father, Mother, you say I've committed a sin, but tell me, what exactly did I do wrong?"
“You always say Su Qing is pitiful, but ask yourselves honestly, is she pitiful?”
“My parents would give their lives for Su Qing even if they knew she wasn’t their biological daughter.”
"But what about you? What about you?" Li Muge shouted hoarsely, "What have you done to me?"
“You didn’t even give me a little bit of trust. You treated me like your own daughter, but I once treated you like my own parents.”
"But you, how did you treat me? You didn't believe me, you destroyed my magic, and you threw me into a death cell. Do you know how I survived all those hundreds of years in the Demon Realm all by myself?"
"Mu Ge..." Empress Feng choked up, seemingly recalling what Li Mu Ge looked like when he was a child.
"Don't call me by my name." Li Muge raised his sword and pointed it fiercely at the Empress: "Stop pretending."
"Empress, actually I hate you more than Su Qing. It's you. If you hadn't switched the babies back then, none of this would have happened today."
“I will live with my biological parents, I know, I know…” Li Muge’s tears turned into red pearls as soon as they hit the ground. She took a few steps back, recalling the faces of Qi Man and Su Zhengqi that she had seen in the illusion.
"Empress Feng, do you know? My parents loved me very much, and I loved them very much too. But because of your mistakes, I have lost everything."
“Now, even the little peony that has been by my side for thousands of years has been killed by you, so…” Li Muge’s eyes were filled with sorrow: “Why do you hate me?”
"Although I am now a demon, the sins in the hearts of you immortals are far more filthy."
Phoenix King's face turned ugly.
"Li Muge, stop trying to justify yourself. You're wrong, no matter what happened before. Becoming a demon is wrong."
