Regardless of what Xiao Tao said, Hua Xiaoxiao continued to flee for her life. Just then, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and Hua Xiaoxiao subconsciously squinted. Before she could come to her senses, someone suddenly grabbed her by the back of her collar.
"Stop!" Mo Chen said coldly. Hua Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she froze and stopped moving.
Murong Xiaoxiao and Xiaotao caught up from behind. Hua Xiaoxiao broke free from Mo Chen's hand and coldly asked, "What do you want?"
Murong Xiaoxiao, panting heavily, collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Xiao Tao calmly observed Hua Xiaoxiao, thinking to herself: Isn't this Hua Xiaoxiao? The aura on her body is clearly that of my mother. Why does Father say she's not my mother?
Before Xiao Tao transformed, she couldn't sense Hua Xiaoxiao's aura. But after transforming, she discovered that Hua Xiaoxiao's aura was exactly the same as her mother's!
"Where is Mo Li? Where is he?" Mo Chen asked anxiously.
"He... what do you want with him?" Hua Xiaoxiao looked at them warily.
"Speak quickly! If you delay any longer, he'll be dead!" Mo Chen roared.
Hua Xiaoxiao trembled with fright. "Xiao, Xiao Li's injuries are gradually healing. He'll be fine!"
Mo Chen's face was grim. Sensing Gu Liyan's faint life force, he roared furiously, "What do you know! Where is he?!"
"I...I'll take you there." Seeing Mo Chen's nervous expression, Hua Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay any longer and ran ahead to lead the way...
Gu Liyan climbed out of the pool, her body feeling like it was falling apart. Behind her, the waterfall made a loud "bang." Gu Liyan turned around and saw that the waterfall had stopped flowing, and she could clearly see a cave in the cliff. Immediately afterward, a huge creature jumped down from the cave.
"Hehehe. Mo Li, I told you you couldn't escape!" The Scorpion jumped into the pool, stood up, and looked at Gu Liyan with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
Gu Liyan's chest heaved, and his face was covered in sweat beneath the mask.
With a smirk, the scorpion approached Gu Liyan and said, "Mo Li, obediently become my blood slave. Once I rule the world, I'll give you a quick death!"
Gu Liyan looked at him, took a deep breath, and growled in a slightly hoarse voice, "Dream on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan activated the Xuanbing Domain, and snow began to fall from the sky. The water in the pool began to freeze solid, and the water under the demonic scorpion's feet was frozen solid.
The scorpion's expression changed. It struggled a few times but failed to break free. Then, it thrust its pincers at Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan was in excruciating pain and had no time to dodge. It was then gripped in the scorpion's pincers.
"Pfft—" Gu Liyan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his domain was directly interrupted.
Scorpion's face darkened. "Damn fox, how dare you defy me! Die!"
The scorpion exerted its strength, and Gu Liyan felt a sharp pain sweep through her body; her heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the valley...
"ah--"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's scream, Mo Chen shuddered and sped away as if the wind were blowing through him.
Little Peach's face was pale, and her eyes were already red. "Daddy..."
Hua Xiaoxiao also heard that familiar voice, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to kneel down. "Xiao Li..."
Gu Liyan's eyes were now empty and lifeless, her breath was weak, and her hands no longer had the strength to struggle.
Just as Gu Liyan was about to close her eyes, a fierce wind howled, and the Scorpion suddenly sensed a killing intent approaching. It immediately threw Gu Liyan away, quickly broke free from the icy pool, and looked around warily, asking, "Who's there?"
Gu Liyan was thrown dozens of meters away by the scorpion and was about to crash into the cliff when suddenly a figure flashed by and caught Gu Liyan steadily.
"Mo Li! Mo Li!" Mo Chen put Gu Liyan on the ground and kept calling out to her.
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Gu Liyan slowly opened her eyes. "Mo...Chen... *sigh*..."
Gu Liyan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Be careful... of the... Demon... Scorpion..."
After saying that, Gu Liyan fainted. Seeing this, Mo Chen looked at the Scorpion and asked with a gloomy expression, "You are the Scorpion?"
The scorpion narrowed its eyes and sneered, "You know me too?"
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes, flipped his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the peach blossom fan appeared in his hand as he coldly said, "You deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen darted out like a gust of wind. The wind blades struck the scorpion's body like knives, but the scorpion's body was tough and had no effect on him at all...
At this moment, Hua Xiaoxiao and the others who arrived were all startled when they saw the enormous scorpion.
"This, isn't this the Poison Scorpion from ten years ago? What's he doing here?!" Murong Xiaoxiao recognized the Demon Scorpion at a glance.
Hua Xiaoxiao looked at the Scorpion in disbelief; his youthful face was completely different from before!
Xiao Tao immediately spotted Gu Liyan lying to the side and exclaimed, "Father!"
Hua Xiaoxiao also noticed Gu Liyan, and her legs immediately went weak, causing her to kneel down. She scrambled to Gu Liyan's side, calling out, "Little Li!"
Xiao Tao, holding Gu Liyan's head, cried her heart out, "Daddy! Daddy, what's wrong? Daddy, wake up!"
Hua Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Liyan's eyes were tightly closed, and she no longer cared about Xiao Tao's cries of "Daddy." She hurriedly took out some herbs and said, "Xiao Li, hang in there. I brought back some herbs. You'll be alright, you'll be alright..."
Hua Xiaoxiao was about to apply medicine to Gu Liyan when she discovered that the wound on his chest had become festering. The herbs in her hand immediately fell to the ground. "Little...Little Li? This...how..."
Murong Xiaoxiao picked up the herbs from the ground and glanced at them. Her face immediately turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly threw them on the ground. "This, this is scorpion venom herb! If you apply it to the wound, it will heal temporarily, but you will be poisoned by scorpions after 12 hours!"
