"Xiao Li can't die! He can't die!" Yan Muxue pleaded. "Master, you can save him, right?"
Cang Hong said, "If you want him to live, you must send him out quickly, otherwise, the curse will threaten his life and even a god cannot save him!"
Yan Muxue looked at Gu Liyan in her arms and said firmly, "Since he can't be cured here, I'll take Xiao Li with me and leave!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Hong immediately turned cold and said, "As a member of the demon race, you should know your place. Bringing this demon back has already violated the prohibition. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame your master for being ruthless!"
Yan Muxue looked at Cang Hong with a bitter face, and urgently defended Gu Liyan, saying, "But Master, Xiao Li is really not a bad person! He has taken good care of me all along the way, and just now he even saved the Holy Son Cangyi. He is really not a bad person!"
"Hmph, that's how the demon race is. They seem pleasing on the surface, but they have sinister looks and are all skilled at using schemes and tricks. You have no idea if they're lying to you! By the time you realize it, you'll not only lose everything, but you'll also put the demon race in dire straits!"
Cang Hong squinted at Gu Liyan and said, "Perhaps he plans to take advantage of your momentary lapse in vigilance, obtain all the information about the Demon Clan, and then secretly slip away to leak all of it!"
Yan Muxue opened her mouth, wanting to defend Gu Liyan, but her trust in him wavered. Unable to make up her mind, she looked at Cang Yi and Cang Mu, hoping they could help Gu Liyan.
When Cangyi saw Yan Muxue looking at him, he naturally knew that she was at a loss and was asking him for help.
However, what Cang Hong said was not unfounded. In fact, both he and Cang Mu had suspected Gu Liyan and had been on guard all the way.
However, Gu Liyan's rescue of him in the cave had lowered his guard. Hearing Cang Hong's words, he began to suspect again that this might be a ruse... But given that it concerned Gu Liyan's life or death, he had no way of knowing.
Just as Azurewing was about to declare its neutrality, Azure Tomb surprisingly spoke up.
“Although this kid is a demon, he just saved Cangyi. In my personal opinion, I won’t say he’s good or bad, but the reason he’s so badly injured is because I hurt him. I think I should save his life!” Cangmu said, then came to Yan Muxue. “If you trust me, hand him over to me. I’ll take him away!”
Yan Muxue glanced at Cang Mu, then looked down at Gu Liyan, whose face was deathly pale, and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you. Please make sure he gets better."
Cang Mu carried Gu Liyan on his back and nodded, "Don't worry, I will!"
Seeing Cangmu's actions, Cangyi anxiously asked, "Cangmu, what are you doing? You've always wanted to return to the Demon Clan, and now that you're back, are you going to leave again?"
Cang Mu hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Cang Hong, his gaze hardened, and he said coldly, "Since the Demon Clan already has a new strategist, it doesn't matter whether I stay or not! I'd better not do something like usurping someone else's position, lest I cause them trouble!"
"Cangmu! Don't be impulsive!" Cangyi said urgently.
“Cangyi, I wasn’t acting impulsively. I just killed the clan leader’s confidant. Even if I don’t get executed, I’ll be demoted. I’m willing to serve under you, but I won’t serve under him!” Cangmu coldly looked at Canghong and said, “Since you say I’ve sacrificed myself, then let it be my sacrifice!”
Upon hearing Cang Mu's words, Cang Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.
He suddenly realized that he didn't understand Cangmu at all. Similarly, it was the first time he realized that there were many uncontrollable people within the Demon Clan!
For example, Yan Muxue, Cang Mu, and Cang Hong, whose motives are impure...
Because Cang Hong was present, Yan Muxue did not rush to leave with Gu Liyan. She walked over, took off her bracelet, and tied it to Gu Liyan's wrist. She whispered in Gu Liyan's ear, "If we meet again in the future, even if you are wearing a different mask, I will still be able to recognize you. At that time, you will never be able to escape my grasp again!"
After Yan Muxue finished speaking, she turned to look at Cang Mu and said, "Cang Mu, I'm counting on you."
Cang Mu glanced at Yan Muxue, somewhat puzzled by what she had just said, but he didn't think much of it. He nodded and left without saying another word.
As Yan Muxue watched Gu Liyan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes became incredibly resolute.
Cang Hong walked up to Yan Muxue with a cold face and pulled her back. "Come on! Come back with me to apologize to the clan leader! Also, tell us everything about you and that demon!"
Yan Muxue glanced at Cang Hong with a wronged expression, then followed him into the Demon Realm.
Cangyi squinted at the departing Cangmu, and a strange smile inexplicably crept onto his lips...
Cang Mu emerged from the tree hollow and felt Gu Liyan's breathing calm down on his back. He leaned Gu Liyan against the side of the hollow and took out medicine from his pocket, stuffing it into Gu Liyan's mouth.
The medicine melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and after a short while, Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the vast tomb before him, he was immediately startled. "You..."
Seeing Gu Liyan's panicked appearance, Cang Mu mocked, "You think you're so powerful just because you're a second-class emperor? You're still scared when you see me! Looks like your strength isn't all that great after all!"
Gu Liyan frowned and said coldly, "If you hadn't successfully ambushed me just now, I wouldn't have been so easily frightened by you while I was injured!"
"Hehe, stop bragging! If you were really that powerful, how could I have successfully ambushed you?" When Cang Mu struck Gu Liyan, he had already seen that Gu Liyan was nothing but a paper tiger.
Having been exposed by Cang Mu, Gu Liyan could no longer hide the truth: "Yes, I am indeed not as powerful as you—"
