The sky was still a lingering gray, making everything appear pale—
The wind and snow blocked the way home, and the two figures, one in white and one in red, walking in the snow looked extremely desolate.
"Cough cough..." Gu Liyan covered the wound on his chest and coughed up blood again.
Seeing this, Mu Qing quickly supported him from his left side. For a moment, she didn't know how to address him, so she could only say shyly, "Are you alright? Why don't we rest for a bit?"
His pale face showed signs of exhaustion. Looking at the raging snow behind him, Gu Liyan sighed, "It seems he didn't chase after us."
That Celestial Venerable truly lived up to his reputation as a grandmaster. Looking into his eyes felt like returning to the time when he fought against Mo Chen. His unfathomable mystery still made him uneasy.
Unaware of the Heavenly Venerable's power, Mu Qing assumed Gu Liyan was worried about the Snow Wolf King holding them accountable, and hurriedly reassured him, "We'll leave the Snow Wolf King's territory right away, nothing will happen."
Gu Liyan shook his head. "I'm not worried about that. Although I haven't met the Snow Wolf King, I think someone with his bloodline should know who the real enemy is..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan suddenly turned his head to look at the sky behind him. The powerful dark demonic energy surrounding the snow mountain gathered in his field of vision, making him tremble all over.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qing looked at the still snowy wind behind her, her face full of confusion.
Gu Liyan was all too familiar with the black, demonic aura hovering above the snow-capped mountain. His face filled with shock, he exclaimed, "This...how could this be?"
This powerful and dark aura, the aura emanating from the ancient demon race—
At this moment, the Wolf Castle atop the snow-capped peak is littered with wolf carcasses. Inside the main hall, the enormous white wolf king lies motionless on the ground, its inner core removed, and it is utterly lifeless.
"Gurgle—"
After swallowing the inner core, Bu Yunrui wore an arrogant smile. "So the demon race is so easily defeated! I really don't know how much Mo Chen and that fox demon held back back then!"
Behind her, Cangli wiped the blade of her sword and said coldly, "Don't be careless either. There are outstanding individuals among the humans in this world, and they hate demons like us even more!"
"Hehe, what? The dignified Demon Clan General, Princess Cangli, is actually afraid of mere humans?" Bu Yunrui mocked.
Cang Li gave him a cold glare. "If you don't listen to me, this is the end of the story. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine!"
"Ahem, I was just joking. Considering you're my only servant, I won't hold your rude words against me." Bu Yunrui chuckled and licked the blood off his hands.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!" Cang Li said angrily.
"I really don't know why the clan leader made me come here with you to look for some kind of divine artifact!" Cang Li sheathed her sword. "I'm leaving. If you want to hibernate here, then stay here by yourself!"
Seeing this, Bu Yunrui hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, wait for me! We're partners, we should go together!"
"You idiot, get the hell away from me!" Cang Li said with a look of disgust.
"I didn't expect you to see through my true nature so quickly after hiding it for so long. How about you marry me and get to know me better?" Bu Yunrui chased after him with a grin.
"roll!!!"

Yan Ligu's gaze turned cold as he looked at the report on the table.
"As the report says, the demons of the ancient realm have taken advantage of loopholes in the laws and used reincarnation to extend their reach to other worlds," Mo Chen said with a solemn expression.
Yan Ligu clenched his fists and said with a helpless bitter smile, "So, we plugged one big hole, but also made a lot of small holes, right?"
Mo Chen lowered his head and turned the ring on his hand without saying a word.
Yan Ligu said angrily, "We really overlooked Cang Mu!"
"I never expected that in the end, he would outmaneuver me." Mo Chen's gaze turned cold. "Do you need me to go back and assassinate him?"
Yan Ligu's face darkened. "You're already a sixth-rank king! Can you forget your original profession?!"
Mo Chen rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Then what do you suggest? If the Realm Lord comes back, he'll skin you alive!"
Yan Ligu immediately broke out in a cold sweat: Yes, being dismissed as the acting world lord is a small matter, but being imprisoned for life is a big deal!
"Ahem, well... didn't he only send two people? Just bring them back... let me see which small world this is." Yan Ligu looked down at the report.
"Oh, right, it's actually quite a coincidence. Although there are no people like us in that world, it is the small world where Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian were reincarnated," Mo Chen reminded him.
Snap—
Yan Ligu suddenly stood up, staring at the report showing that it was exactly the same world Gu Liyan had gone to, and couldn't help but angrily exclaim, "Damn it! He did this on purpose, didn't he?!"
"Calm down. You're a realm lord now, how come you still can't stop swearing?" Seeing Yan Ligu's anger, Mo Chen hurriedly spoke up.
Yan Ligu sighed, his face grave. "Mo Chen, you must protect Gu Liyan no matter what!"
Mo Chen raised his eyes. "Gu Liyan is fine, his cultivation is not bad either. The problem is with Hua Baixian, who is related to Gu Liyan. If something happens to Hua Baixian, who knows what kind of crazy Gu Liyan will go. You know him..."
Looking at the jade hairpin on the table, Yan Ligu sighed, "If it really affects Jiuquan, then let Gu Liyan give her up..."
Mo Chen gave Yan Ligu a deep look. "Are you sure?"
Yan Ligu glanced at Mo Chen, thought for a moment, and said helplessly, "Fine, let him choose for himself."
Mo Chen stood up. "Thank you for making the right decision!"
