...
Not long after Gu Liyan and Mo Chen left, Gu Yan and Gu Li returned. Upon entering the room and finding it empty, Gu Li exclaimed, "Strange, where are those two?"
Gu Yan's face was gloomy. He touched the bed, which was still warm, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, do you even need to ask? Mo Li must have woken up and then slipped away with Mo Chen!"
"No, really? We saved him, he couldn't have just left without even saying thank you, could he?" Gu Li was somewhat skeptical.
"Thank you? Does he even know how to express gratitude? I told you from the beginning that there was something wrong with him, but you wouldn't believe me! Now look what's happened! We treated him like this, he must be resentful. He ran away as soon as he woke up, he must be going to join the demons! Once he gets to the demons, he'll tell them the location of our base, and we'll be in big trouble!" Gu Yan said angrily. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have saved this cunning guy!"
Gu Li frowned, still somewhat disbelieving that Gu Liyan would side with the Demon Clan...
"What are you daydreaming about? Before they go far, hurry up and send someone to bring them back!" Gu Yan said impatiently when he saw Gu Li lost in thought.
"Oh, yes!" Gu Li replied and hurriedly withdrew.
After Gu Li left, Gu Yan slammed his fist on the table in frustration, "Damn it, if I catch him, I'll definitely kill him!"
—On the other side, after Gu Liyan and Mo Chen left, Gu Liyan walked ahead, heading towards the desolate land.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the wilderness, Mo Chen hurriedly grabbed Gu Liyan, "Mo Li, wait a moment!"
Gu Liyan turned her head and looked at Mo Chen with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
"If we go any further ahead, we'll reach the wilderness. Are you going to the Nine Netherworlds or the Demon Realm?" Mo Chen asked with a serious expression.
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said, "I don't mean to hide it from you, but actually, I want to go to the Demon Realm!"
Mo Chen's eyes widened, and he involuntarily took a step back, pointing at Gu Liyan and scolding, "You, are you really a spy for the Demon Clan? I trusted you so much and brought you out, but I never expected you to..."
"No, Mo Chen, actually I went to the Demon Realm just to see her!" Gu Liyan said hurriedly, "I don't know how to tell you, Xue'er is in danger and I have to go see her!"
Mo Chen naturally knew who Xue'er was, but he just couldn't believe that Gu Liyan could actually enter the Demon Clan's territory unharmed.
"As a member of the demon race, you are opposed to the demon race. I don't care how you survived their attacks. Since you're looking for that woman, then..." Mo Chen looked up at Gu Liyan's pale face due to her unhealed injuries, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'm sorry I can't follow you anymore! Regardless of whether the road ahead is a blessing or a curse, if I continue to follow you, I'm afraid I'll be branded a traitor!"
Gu Liyan glanced at Mo Chen, slowly nodded, and said, "I understand. You can leave me here. Thank you, Mo Chen."
Gu Liyan gave a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you beforehand, making you walk this long way with me for nothing. It's getting late, if they find out we've disappeared, they'll definitely suspect you..."
"In that case, I'll head back. Take care of yourself!" Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan and spoke coldly.
After saying that, he turned and left, not daring to look back even once.
Watching Mo Chen walk further and further away, Gu Liyan didn't try to stop him, but continued forward into the wilderness...
Gu Liyan had only walked a short distance when she heard something strange coming from the bushes around her. She immediately approached the bushes cautiously and called out, "Who's there? Come out!"
Just as he was about to get closer, a figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes and threw a punch at Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan barely dodged it, but the person turned the fist into a palm and struck Gu Liyan's wound.
"Ah!" Gu Liyan cried out in pain and fell heavily to the ground.
The newcomer placed a foot on Gu Liyan's chest, looked down at him, and said coldly, "I thought you had escaped, but I didn't expect to run into you again!"
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Liyan's eyelids twitched, and he spoke with a pained expression, "It's you, Cang Mu..."
Cang Mu chuckled and stomped hard on Gu Liyan's chest. "Looks like you won't remember me unless I teach you a lesson!"
"Ah! Pfft..." Gu Liyan screamed again, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Gu Liyan's pained expression, Cang Mu's smile widened. "You just came from the demon race's base, didn't you? Tell me, where is the demon race's base!"
Cang Mu stomped hard on Gu Liyan's chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. He managed to say with difficulty, "I... I didn't tell them... about the Demon Clan's base, and I won't... I won't tell you about the Monster Clan's base!"
Cang Mu was furious. "Boy, do you think I'd be grateful to you?! The Demon Clan is worried about the Monster Clan attacking? We'd love for them to come to us! Then, one formation will trap them all in the Demon Clan! Not a single one will escape! Tell us the location of the Monster Clan right now, or else..."
Cang Mu exerted force again, and with a crack, Gu Liyan's ribs were broken, causing him to scream in agony, "Ah! No, no... uh..."
"Speak up! Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you say it!" Cang Mu said coldly.
“Uh… I, I’ll say…” Gu Liyan said softly, frowning.
Just as Gu Liyan was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from not far away. Upon hearing the sound, Cang Mu hurriedly dragged Gu Liyan into the bushes...
Mo Chen, who was originally heading back, stopped halfway. He thought of the vow he had made in front of everyone to protect Gu Liyan and began to agonize inwardly, "That troublesome guy! He's injured and still wants to go to the Demon Realm. I really don't know what he's thinking!"
