Chapter 9 Darkness Descends



Flower Lament Pool

After Gu Liyan cast his spell, this place has become a palace of ice and snow, a realm that is icy but not cold, which is completely out of place with the flower palace that is spring all year round.

Looking at the world of ice and snow, Hua Baixian suddenly had a brilliant idea. Leaning against Gu Liyan's chest, she imagined with longing, "Little Li, how about we transplant the Long-Han Heart here? If the Long-Han Heart blooms in Li City, it will be so beautiful!"

Gu Liyan affectionately stroked Hua Baixian's head. "Since you put it that way, I'll transplant Jiu Hanxin over right away. But when did you name this place Licheng?"

"Just now! This is the world you built, Xiao Li, so naturally it's named after you!" Hua Baixian turned to look at Gu Liyan. "You know what? Xiao Li, I never imagined that besides beautiful flowers, a world of ice and snow could be so beautiful!"

Gu Liyan was taken aback and asked with some curiosity, "Has it never snowed in the Heavenly Palace?"

"Yes, although there are cold places, I've only ever heard of snow in legends. It's the purest, coldest, and most sacred thing! Some of us in the Celestial Clan have never even seen snow! We have no idea that snow could be such a beautiful thing!" Hua Baixian said excitedly, "Do you know how excited I was when I saw snow!"

Gu Liyan smiled wryly. Changing the weather of an area, turning thousands of miles into ice, couldn't be accomplished in just one day. He gently patted Hua Baixian's head, deciding it was best not to let her know the price she paid for unleashing the ice magic...

“Xiao Li.” Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with a serious expression.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Gu Liyan became nervous at her serious expression.

"You're so amazing and perfect, don't you think a lot of people like you?" Hua Baixian asked earnestly.

"You like it?" Gu Liyan was taken aback, thinking of his strict uncle Gu Li, and then of Gu Changyuan, with whom he had a life-and-death feud.

Haha, I always offend people so easily, I'm probably just lucky if I'm not hated!

"Among those who like me, there are probably more people who hate me," Gu Liyan said with a wry smile.

Seeing Gu Liyan's sad expression, Hua Baixian said with concern, "I'm sorry, little fox. Did I remind you of something unpleasant?"

Gu Liyan shook his head and took Hua Baixian's hand. "No, right now, the most important thing for me is to cherish the person in front of me!"

Hua Baixian lowered her head, her face flushed. "But I don't know anything, and I don't have anything I'm good at. I... I'm also very stupid..."

Before Hua Baixian could finish speaking, Gu Liyan pulled her into his arms. "Silly girl, even if you can't distinguish between medicine, can't handle the shock, and can't accept death, in my eyes you are the closest thing to humanity. Besides..."

"You saved me twice!" Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian with sincere eyes. "Everyone in this world has their own value, just like you. You saved me! Creating Licheng is just my forte, something I just happen to know how to do. There's nothing to be proud of!"

Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with a mixture of envy and disappointment, "If only I had something I was good at."

Seeing this, Gu Liyan was about to comfort her when his expression changed. He suddenly looked up and saw that the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and both the sky and the earth were gloomy and dark.

"This is..." Hua Baixian was terrified and nervously grabbed Gu Liyan's hand.

Gu Liyan frowned deeply. "Darkness...the Demon Clan has already arrived...?"

Darkness descends, the void shatters, and the demons descend upon this place—

All the gods of the Celestial Race looked up and saw countless figures dressed in black armor standing in the void, holding tridents and their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The leader, however, was a man with dark green eyes, holding a paper fan and looking very scholarly.

Mo Chen looked down at the Heavenly Palace, squinted slightly, and chuckled, "It seems much simpler than I expected."

Raise a finger to survey the land, and all under the heavens will be your subjects—

"Demon warriors, heed my command! Attack the Heavenly Palace! Those who resist—kill!"

"drink--"

In an instant, darkness beneath darkness surged forth—

Gu Liyan stared in shock as darkness descended, his fists clenched, a chill running down his spine. "It's happening again...it's those demon generals again!"

"Xiao Li?" Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with concern.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes. "Xiao Bai, wait here for me. I'll go check!"

After saying that, he left Licheng despite Hua Baixian's attempts to stop him.

Looking at the dark sky, Hua Baixian's fear could not be calmed; she always felt a sense of impending separation.

——

Hua Mansion

The sharp trident pierced her body. The young flower fairy looked at the ferocious demon in horror, completely unaware of why someone from the peaceful Celestial Clan would suddenly appear to kill her.

She collapsed, covered in blood, and screams echoed throughout the entire Hua mansion—a chilling sound!

"Why are all the Celestials women? I thought they would be a formidable opponent! What a disappointment!"

Holding a wine gourd in his hand, Cang Qing staggered out of the blood-stained Hua Mansion as he drank.

Just as he lost interest, he felt a terrifying killing intent behind him and couldn't help but turn around to look at the person who appeared in front of him in surprise!

His white robes were spotless, his long, jet-black hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his handsome face was flawless. Yet, beneath this striking appearance, Cang Qing couldn't help but shiver, feeling a sense of impending danger to his life.

The white-robed youth was none other than Gu Liyan. He looked at Cang Qing with a cold expression and asked, "A member of the Demon Clan?"
