"monster!"
"Monster! He's a monster! Someone stop him!"
Seeing it pass through their bodies as if by lightning, the crowd panicked and dared not approach. They simply retreated to the side, shouting in terror.
Some timid officials could no longer stand their ground. They collapsed to the ground, fearing they would be devoured whole by the authorities. Some even fled the scene, creating utter chaos.
The king, Qingyang, had lost all his majesty and was now pale with fright. Pointing at Li Jin, he ordered in a trembling voice, "Li, my dear minister, hurry, hurry and capture this monster!"
Li Jin saw clearly but remained unmoved, standing still and squinting at the raging fire that was gradually spreading to Qingge's side.
Seeing that Li Jin ignored him, Qingyang turned around and shouted urgently to Yang Wei, "Minister Yang, hurry, hurry and catch this monster!"
Yang Wei glanced at Qingyang with a mocking expression, thinking to himself, "This guy only remembers me now!"
He said irritably, "Your Majesty, I do not have the ability to capture demons. For your safety, you should stand further away."
Upon hearing Yang Wei's words, Qingyang angrily cursed, "Useless!"
While cursing, he hurriedly hid behind Yang Wei and shouted to the terrified crowd, "Whoever can capture this monster, I will bestow upon him the position of prime minister!"
After saying that, Qingyang dared not show his face again. There were a few brave people in the crowd who took out their weapons and slashed at Qingyang, but the weapons all passed through his body, like shadows that could not be caught.
Clearly, he had overcome numerous obstacles and charged into the sea of fire. Seeing him disappear into the flames, the pursuers retreated.
When Qingge saw Qingchu rushing up to her, she hurriedly spoke:
"Run! Don't worry about me! You have to escape!"
Clearly, he stopped not far from Qingge, looking at her with a face full of guilt. At this moment, he finally spoke, "Princess Qingge, I was created as a puppet to protect you, so... to complete Gu Liyan's mission, protecting you is my duty, even if it means death!"
Qingge stared blankly at Qingqing. "You...you mean you're not him?"
Clearly nodded, briefly told Qingge about how she and Gu Liyan had switched bodies, and without waiting for Qingge to speak, walked towards Qingge alone...
The surrounding fire quickly engulfed his small body completely, but Qingge saw his body become transparent...
"Life Soul, don't worry, I will definitely protect her for you!" Qingzhi muttered to himself.
—Gu Liyan, who was far away at the inn, witnessed everything. Seeing Qingge in the flames, he was already trembling with rage. "Qingyang! That damned guy! He actually tried to harm Qingge..."
Enraged, Gu Liyan stood up abruptly. "Whoever dares to lay a hand on her, I will make them all pay the price!"
—Qingge watched as Qingchu was engulfed in flames and shouted anxiously, "Even if you're a puppet, don't do anything foolish! Run! Run!"
"Aww..."
Qingge's voice was shattered by a roar, emanating from Qingge herself and echoing throughout the entire Weilong Kingdom. Then, to everyone's astonishment, a phantom of a nine-tailed fox demon appeared on the altar!
The phantom stared at the crowd, its purple eyes chillingly cold, making them afraid to meet its gaze. But the moment it turned its head and looked directly at Qingge, its gaze softened.
Qingge stared blankly at the nine-tailed phantom, showing no fear whatsoever, but instead sighing helplessly, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Awooo~" The phantom roared, and under the horrified gazes of the crowd, snowflakes began to fall from the sky above the altar. In an instant, a cold wind swept in, and the fire on the altar gradually subsided.
With a slight struggle, the ropes binding her body came loose. Looking at the figure gradually disappearing into nothingness, Qingge became somewhat worried.
Just as she was about to speak, Qingyang, who was below the stage, preemptively pointed at Qingge and shouted, "Qingge, did you summon this phantom? I saw through your deception long ago. It turns out you're colluding with the demon race, you witch!"
Upon hearing Qingyang's words, the civil and military officials finally snapped out of their daze and began pointing at Qingge, cursing:
"I never imagined that Princess Qingge was actually a demoness!"
"He colluded with demons; perhaps the Dragon's Grudge originated from him!"
"We absolutely cannot let this vixen get away!"
"That's right! She must be executed on the spot!"
Qingge was speechless, and looking at Qingzhi who was gradually becoming transparent, she smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you save me, so what? With everyone watching, how can you save me?"
"Awoo~"
He let out a soft sob, knowing he was helpless. The light in his eyes gradually faded; his time was running out. The instant he stepped into the fire, he abandoned his physical body, burning his soul and using all his spiritual power to seduce the power of heaven and earth to extinguish the flames for Qingge.
However, now, having exhausted his soul power, he was at his last gasp and could barely save himself! But he knew that if he held on a little longer, Gu Liyan would arrive in person!
Qingyang, watching the arrogant crowd from below the stage, couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. "This way, even if she doesn't die, she won't have the chance to step on Ye's head!"
But at that moment, a chill ran down his spine and the aura of death spread throughout his body. Qingyang's expression suddenly changed and he felt an icy coldness in his throat. Looking down, he realized that a dagger was pressed against his throat!
"Wh-what..." Qingyang glanced sideways at the person behind him, and asked in surprise, "Mo, Mo Han, what are you going to do?"
Mo Han smiled and said, "You'll find out what I'm going to do in a minute!"
