The unexpected transformation of Yin and Yang into the sword's body was something no one had anticipated.
Gu Liyan held the Yin-Yang Sword, feeling an unusual heaviness in his hand. He had no idea how to explain this to Xuan Qing'er.
According to Yin Yang's plan, he wanted to tell Xuan Qing'er that Yin Yang had betrayed their bond, so that Xuan Qing'er would give up on him or even resent him, and that she would give up looking for him because of her hatred.
But……
Isn't this a bit too cruel to Xuan Qing'er?
"What do we do now?" Xiao Hu asked, his voice lowering as if he had done something wrong.
Gu Liyan frowned and gripped the Yin-Yang Sword tightly. "Let's wait until we get back to talk to Xuan Qing'er..."
Xiao Long nodded in agreement. "Okay."
Meanwhile, the people from Sky City and the Tomb of the Azure Sky were already itching to make their move.
An Qianbai was immersed in the Flower Sorrow Pool, the death energy within her body faintly visible. She was surrounded by an invisible light shield, and lightning could be faintly seen flashing around her.
Cangmu and Tianyi stepped forward.
"I have erased her memories of Gu Liyan and altered the scene of Leng Shaohan's death, injecting it into her memory," Tian Yi said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"How terrifying and insidious! One second he was friends with Gu Liyan and the others, and the next he's standing by my side as their enemy!" Cang Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tian Yi. "You wouldn't betray me at this crucial moment and stab me in the back, would you?"
A hint of displeasure flashed in Tianyi's cold eyes. "My son Bu Yunrui died because of Gu Liyan, and my nephew Bu Yunzhi was killed by Gu Liyan's own hands. Do you think I would still be on the same side as Gu Liyan?"
Looking at Tianyi's indifferent expression, Cangmu still couldn't quite believe it:
"I really don't understand you. You went through all that agonizing and indecision, but in the end, you still ended up on my boat! I really don't know what you were so conflicted about in the first place?"
Tianyi, with a cold face, looked at the red pillar reaching to the sky above the Flower Grief Pool and said, "Before, I only had doubts and was not sure, but now I can confirm it."
"Oh?" Cangmu asked, somewhat puzzled. "What could have made my Demon Clan's Holy Son so suspicious for so long?"
Upon hearing Cangmu mention the title "Holy Son," Tianyi remained silent for a long while before raising his head to look at the red pillar of light connecting the sky and coldly sneered, "It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me the Holy Son!"
Cang Mu raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Tian Yi had abandoned his family, his son, and even the honor of being a Holy Son to become an undercover agent in the Heavenly Palace. Logically speaking, Cang Mu had no right to criticize him, much less to order someone who had given up everything for the Demon Clan!
Cang Mu didn't ask any further questions. There were some things he could control even if he didn't know them!
Tianyi looked at the sun, turned around, and said, "The time has come. Success or failure hinges on this moment. I hope you can capture Gu Liyan alive to complete the true life-and-death pact."
With an incredibly confident smirk, Cang Mu said, "You're wrong. It's that there's only success and no failure!"
Tianyi remained silent, raising his hand to remove the light barrier binding An Qianbai. At the same time, An Qianbai slowly opened her eyes, her gaze blank and lifeless as she stared at the endless sky, devoid of any emotion.
Cang Mu stepped forward and coldly said, "An Qianbai, your time is up! Come with me!"
An Qianbai sat up, moved swiftly, and appeared before Cang Mu in the blink of an eye. Looking at the obedient An Qianbai, Cang Mu smiled coldly and, taking advantage of Tian Yi's inattention, slipped a short dagger into An Qianbai's hand.
In this way, it's absolutely impossible to lose!
—At noon, Cang Mu descended upon the world with An Qianbai and eight God Kings. Among the eight God Kings, the leader was none other than Tian Hei, who was beside Bu Yunzhi.
Having shed his youthful naiveté, his gaze was exceptionally sharp and cold, filled with boundless killing intent, as he relentlessly searched for that white figure in the crowd.
He secretly made a vow in his heart:
"Gu Liyan, you killed my master, this is an irreconcilable hatred! I swear I will not be a demon if I do not kill you before nightfall!"
At that moment, in full view of everyone, the guards behind her tied An Qianbai to the makeshift sacrificial altar.
However, what no one noticed was that the guard who was closest to An Qianbai was Jin Yi!
Seeing An Qianbai's appearance, the onlookers below the stage started to discuss among themselves:
"Isn't that An Qianbai from the Royal Casino? I heard she's the young lady of the Shadow Hall!"
"I never expected it to be her!"
"Look at how arrogant she was before, now she's like this, it's really satisfying!"
"I heard from a rumor that An Qianshan, the leader of the Shadow Hall, was killed yesterday."
Whispers arose from the crowd. An Qianbai heard them but remained expressionless, devoid of joy, sorrow, desire, or ambition, like a machine.
In contrast, Cang Mu, standing beside her, swept his smiling gaze over the crowd below the stage, a cold sneer playing on his lips:
—Gu Liyan, why aren't you showing up yet?
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked out from the observation platform. It was Wu Mei, the Palace Master of Wanbao Palace, who was also Mo Hua from the Nine Springs Realm. Her daughter, Hua Qing'er, followed her.
"Qing'er, look, the young lady of the Shadow Hall that you used to hate is about to die!" Mo Hua sneered.
Seeing An Qianbai tied to the stage, Hua Qing'er smiled coldly and said, "It's a real pity that I can't deal with her myself."
Mo Hua pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her face charming and harmless. "It's alright. If you want her, I can help you get the body."
Hua Qing'er's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "I'm going to throw her body out at the city gate and hang it there until it rots!"
"Whatever makes you happy." Surprisingly, Mo Hua did not object.
Hua Qing'er was overjoyed, her face beaming with excitement, "Then... Mother, I..."
