Tianxuan flashed to Yin Yang's side, grabbed Yin Yang by the throat, dragged him to the ground, and overturned several chess pieces in the process...
"Yin Yang, you are a pawn I cultivated. Your cultivation should only be used for my purposes. But now you have used your cultivation on a foreign race without my permission. How will you make amends?"
"Ugh—" Yin Yang felt a suffocating fear. He could come and go as he pleased with the Heavenly Clan, but that was entirely based on Tian Xuan's trust in him. Without Tian Xuan's support, he was nothing! Now, Tian Xuan didn't trust him at all!
"You've been in the Sea of Death for so long and haven't found anything, fine. But you come back and dare to try and intimidate me with Luo Zichen. She's a celestial maiden and I can't touch her, but do you think you are too?!"
"ah--"
Tianxuan's fingers dug into Yinyang's neck, and Yinyang was instantly terrified. The childhood trauma he had suffered at Tianxuan's hands made him utterly unable to resist.
His actions from the beginning were against Tianxuan's wishes to stay in the Sea of Death. Not only did he fail to find the divine artifact, but he also gave most of his cultivation to Gu Liyan when he came out. How could Tianxuan not be furious!
"Give me all your remaining cultivation! Give it to me! Give it all to me—" Tianxuan roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging, as he gripped Yin Yang's throat tightly.
"Ughhhhhh—" Blood flowed from the corners of Yin Yang's mouth as he struggled incessantly.
Those dark, clear eyes were filled with despair...
In no mood
I don't want to die yet...
——
Gu Liyan wiped his sweat, looked at the scenery of the Heavenly Palace mostly surrounded by a ceremonial atmosphere, and nodded with a relieved expression, "Finally, I can rest for a while."
Just as they were preparing to return to the Hua residence, they suddenly saw a crimson light flash from the Xuan Tian Pavilion. "That is..."
——
"Ah—" Yin Yang's face was pale and he could not make a sound. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ground.
"Yin and Yang! The energy within you is already quite strong! Only your energy can be transferred to others, so give it to me now! Give it to me!"
"Well--"
Just when Yin Yang was about to despair, a figure in white suddenly appeared and pushed Tian Xuan away.
"stop!"
Tianxuan shook off Yin and Yang, the crimson in his eyes dissipating, and coldly looked at Gu Liyan who had barged in. "What are you doing here?"
Gu Liyan, supporting Yin Yang and looking at his weak state, angrily pointed at Tian Xuan and shouted, "Emperor Tian Xuan, are you trying to kill me to silence me?!"
"Hmph, kill who? Silence whose mouth? You alien race had better watch your words!" Tianxuan narrowed his eyes, feeling an urge to kill Gu Liyan on the spot.
"you--"
Yin Yang hurriedly pulled Gu Liyan aside and said, "Fox! Cough cough... It was I who offended Emperor Tianxuan, let it go."
Gu Liyan wanted to say something more, but Yin Yang continued, "The Yin Yang Society will remember the lesson of Emperor Tianxuan and will take our leave now!"
After saying that, she grabbed Gu Liyan and hurriedly left.
As Yin Yang stepped out of the Xuan Tian Pavilion, he swayed unsteadily. Gu Liyan, seeing this, quickly steadied him, asking, "Are you alright?"
Yin Yang's face darkened. He slapped Gu Liyan's hand away and said angrily, "Gu Liyan, you idiot! You shouldn't be here!"
"If I hadn't come, you would have died! Are you going to let me just watch you get killed?" Gu Liyan said urgently.
"What do you know! I came here on purpose to provoke him!" Yin Yang said, pointing at Gu Liyan with a look of utter disappointment, "Because of your recklessness and stupidity, you've completely ruined my plans!"
Gu Liyan angrily said, "I don't care what plans you, Luo Zichen, or anyone else have, whether they're good or bad. I just want to tell you that if you have to sacrifice others to achieve your goals, I will destroy those plans one by one!"
Yin Yang stared blankly at Gu Liyan, his long-buried memories suddenly unearthed. Hua Shiman had said something similar—
"No matter who is sacrificed in the future, I do not want my friends to be sacrificed!"
Yin Yang closed his eyes and sighed: Gu Liyan, we were plotting how to kill the person you love most, but you turned around and wanted to save me and everyone else...
You should be the one.
—The one who must be killed!
Seeing Gu Liyan's dissatisfied expression, Yin Yang sighed, "Fine, fine, don't ever come to Xuantian Pavilion again!"
Just as the two were about to leave, someone blocked their way.
Xuan Qing'er glanced at Yin Yang and said, "You're back."
Yin Yang paused for a moment, then nodded gently. "Yes."
Xuan Qing'er glanced at Gu Liyan indifferently and spoke again, "Do you still have something to do with him?"
"Huh?" Yin Yang was taken aback, glanced at Gu Liyan, shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious."
Xuan Qing'er nodded, "Then let's go to my Sword Tomb!"
As she spoke, she pushed Gu Liyan aside and, supporting Yin Yang, said with a smile, "While you were gone, I forged many more weapons! Choose one!"
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, leaving him behind, Gu Liyan was completely bewildered. "What, what's going on here?!"
Suddenly, a faint red line appeared in Gu Liyan's bright purple eyes, naturally binding the two of them together.
Gu Liyan watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but smile, "I never expected... they would have such a connection!"
