What if the Demon were an ordinary person?
Gu Liyan never imagined that such an ordinary person would be locked up with her and suffer such cruel torture.
He sighed deeply. Although he didn't know what Mo Tang had done to be imprisoned here, he felt genuine sympathy for his fellow inmate.
Time flies, and Gu Liyan can't change anything, so she can only choose to accept reality.
Gu Liyan, who had just stood up and was about to leave, suddenly felt dizzy. Then, his blood rushed to his head and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist. He became weak and collapsed to one knee, his internal organs aching all at once.
His face beneath the mask was contorted with pain, and Gu Liyan was panting heavily, completely drained of strength.
Thump thump thump—
His heart was racing; Gu Liyan knew this was a sign of excessive blood loss, but he simply didn't have the strength to escape.
Da da da—
Just then, I heard footsteps again. Although they were far away, they sounded like an alarm bell signaling the end of the world.
“When those people come here and see that I killed the jailer, they definitely won’t let me go…” Gu Liyan smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect that he would end up here.
The regret isn't that the mission couldn't be completed, but rather... that I didn't even get to say a single word to Hua Xiaoxiao before leaving!
Gu Liyan was about to take out the Nine Springs Token, and just as he was about to crush it to return to the Nine Springs Realm, a sound came from the wall behind him. Gu Liyan turned around and looked behind him in confusion—
Trapped outside the city due to the lockdown, Hua Xiaoxiao and her group decided to blow up the wall and enter. They had already placed all the gunpowder they brought on the ground, ready to go.
Mo Shang asked somewhat reluctantly, "Are you really going to blow it up? Are you sure nothing bad will happen?"
"Don't worry, don't worry! I'll hold the sky up even if it falls!" Zi Xin patted her chest and said.
"Alright." Mo Shang sighed helplessly and lit the fuse...
Thud—
After a loud bang, dust flew everywhere, and a huge gaping hole was blasted open—
Gu Liyan stared blankly at the blasted-open wall, a wave of panic washing over him: "What, what's going on? A large army is attacking the central city?!"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but swallow hard. If the army were to invade, he would be surrounded by enemies, and it would be a question whether he could even survive!
After a while, several figures walked in from outside.
"Cough cough cough, this smell is awful!" Zi Xin said with a look of disgust.
"It would be terrible if we got caught!" Mo Shang said with some worry.
"Don't be afraid, we'll run as soon as we see anyone inside!" Hua Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly.
Gu Liyan stared blankly at the three of them. Hua Xiaoxiao also saw Gu Liyan at that moment, and their eyes met for a split second. Immediately, Hua Xiaoxiao pointed at Gu Liyan, who was covered in blood, and said in a panic:
"You, you..."
Gu Liyan opened his mouth as if to speak, but then remembered that he couldn't talk to her, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Before anyone could ask Gu Liyan where they were, the prison door was kicked open, and dozens of people rushed in.
The leader was none other than Zhong Kang, the guard who had handed Gu Liyan the energy stone that day. Seeing the corpse on the ground, the blasted-open wall, the three people who walked in, and Gu Liyan being rescued and regaining her freedom...
Everyone could guess that Hua Xiaoxiao and her group had come to kill and break into the prison! Without saying a word, they took out their weapons and surrounded Gu Liyan and the others.
"Mo Li, I never expected you to collude with other demons and monsters to kill people and escape from prison!" Zhong Kang pointed at Gu Liyan and said coldly, "Mr. Wang Tianzhi asked me to look after you. It seems that demons are demons after all, killing people without blinking an eye!"
Gu Liyan frowned, realizing something was wrong. It seemed there really was a misunderstanding!
Upon hearing Zhong Kang's words, Hua Xiaoxiao and the others immediately realized that they had accidentally blown up the prison! Their gazes towards Gu Liyan turned strange, and Mo Shang's expression turned to one of terror.
Gu Liyan frowned, determined not to implicate Hua Xiaoxiao! He gritted his teeth and stood up, his mind racing. Although he couldn't speak to Hua Xiaoxiao, she didn't know that the person behind the mask was the Xiao Li she knew, so he could still speak to her!
Gu Liyan looked at Zhong Kang, her voice slightly hoarse:
“I didn’t mean to kill them, otherwise they wouldn’t have hurt me so badly…”
"Enough with the nonsense! It's best to get rid of this scourge of a region as soon as possible to put people at ease!" Zhong Kang waved his hand, pointing at Gu Liyan and the three people behind her, including Hua Xiaoxiao, and said, "Come on! Execute this demon and his accomplices on the spot!"
Chaos erupted as the group charged forward without warning. Gu Liyan was terrified, but before he could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, knocking several people to the ground.
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. Zi Xin, that violent girl, really did strike quickly and ruthlessly!
Seeing their own people being knocked to the ground by Zi Xin, the group looked at Zi Xin warily, not in a hurry to make a move, but instead tentatively surrounded her.
Zi Xin clenched her fists and glared angrily at Zhong Kang, saying, "You really have no sense of reason! You come up here and immediately accuse us of being remnants of demons. It's just that a wall was blown up. Tell me how much it costs. Young Master Mo, the richest man in Xicheng, has the money to pay for it!"
Hearing Zi Xin's words, Mo Shang made a bitter face: "Big sister, you've already started to ruin your teammates' game so quickly. Can we still play together in the future?!"
“Young Master Mo?” Zhong Kang glanced at Mo Shang behind him. He had indeed heard that the Mo family of Xicheng would send someone to discuss the energy stone trade, but he did not expect to meet in this way!
"Is this the eldest young master of the Mo family?" Zhong Kang looked at Mo Shang and said coldly, "Young Master Mo, did you deliberately blow up this wall to let this demon escape from prison?"
