"Mo Li, the Punisher, accept the challenge!"
Mo Zhai covered his mouth, his face filled with disbelief. "He... he's that Mo Li?!"
Mo Jin said in astonishment, "No wonder he broke Xiao Ran's barrier so easily."
At this moment, Bu Yunrui burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahaha, Gu Liyan, even if you join the Nine Springs Realm, do you think you can change anything? Those you can't protect, you ultimately can't protect!"
Mo Li's brows were cold, and upon hearing Bu Yunrui's words, a bloodthirsty killing intent emanated from him. Instantly, his Xuanbing Domain enveloped the space, causing snow to fall and the hot blood on the ground to turn cold. "Bu Yunrui, if you continue to provoke me, I will no longer spare your soul!"
"That's only if you catch me..." Bu Yunrui chuckled, then suddenly leaped up. "Gu Liyan, come on!"
Mo Li narrowed his eyes and his hand trembled as he grasped the jade flute Chang Shang in his hand. Then he leaped up and stood opposite Bu Yunrui in the void.
"Hahaha, I love your fearless personality!" Bu Yunrui looked at the Punisher below and suddenly smiled. "Gu Liyan, I invited you to join my camp. Were you bewitched into joining the Nine Springs Realm?"
Mo Chen's eyelids twitched, and he said angrily, "This guy is going to use the trick of sowing discord again!"
Mo Li looked up at him without saying a word.
Bu Yunrui chuckled and said sarcastically, "You only agreed to join because you thought the Nine Springs Realm would be beneficial to you and could save your lover, right?"
Mo Li looked at Bu Yunrui quietly, but still didn't say anything.
"But they could have protected your lover, yet they didn't, and you still lost her in the end! Do you really think they can be trusted?" Bu Yunrui said with a smile.
The sanctioners finally realized what was going on: this guy was slandering the underworld! How cunning!
Mo Li coldly asked, "So?"
“Gu Liyan, let’s join forces! You and I will definitely be able to take control of this world, and then…” Bu Yunrui said with a crazy expression.
Mo Li suddenly interrupted him, speaking coldly, "So you'll be the king and I'll be the marquis? Second only to the king and above all others? Bu Yunrui, I think you were overthinking things from the start."
"What?" Bu Yunrui raised an eyebrow.
“In the past, I pursued peace of mind and lived with a touch of indulgence and freedom. But after her death…” Mo Li raised her hand to catch the falling snowflakes and said softly, “I am desperate about the world. I can’t even protect the person I love. What is the meaning of my life?”
Mo Li's sorrowful gaze revealed the despair deep within her heart to many of the punishers. Feeling that painful despair, many lowered their heads in empathy.
Mo Li continued, "But the Lord of the Realm came to me. He told me that if I didn't turn back and let go of my grudges, everything would be like the taste of sobering up."
"What a painful thing it is for a person who is addicted to alcohol to suddenly sober up and find that he has lost his alcohol, and the rest of his life can only be tasted by bitter green tea! But if he can't let go, he will keep drinking this bitter tea until the end of his life, and his taste buds will still be bitter!"
Mo Li sighed and said, "Bu Yunrui, I don't ask you to give up your power, nor do I ask you to let go of your grudges. I just hope you can be kinder to yourself..."
Bu Yunrui trembled all over. "You, what do you know?"
"The root of all this isn't you; it's just that you made the wrong choice. You shouldn't have dared to dream of dominating the world while obtaining the key to the Nine Springs Realm!" Mo Li said coldly. "That was a foolish choice. You can't fight against Heaven, much less against the Nine Springs!"
"My choice, Bu Yunrui, was not wrong! To survive, I have no choice but to become stronger. What wrong have I done!" Bu Yunrui pointed at Mo Li. "Don't pretend to educate others. You have your own selfish motives too, don't you!"
"Are you referring to me wanting to destroy the Great Shang Dynasty for her sake?" Mo Li smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you don't know that the Great Shang Dynasty in that world was originally a mission that Jiu Quan was supposed to destroy. No Punisher chose this mission, but it just so happened that I, an unsuspecting Punisher candidate, accidentally destroyed it!"
Bu Yunrui stared at Mo Li in shock. "Impossible! You were from Jiuquan from the beginning? Absolutely impossible! In the Heavenly Palace you were just..."
Bu Yunrui shuddered, suddenly realizing who the mysterious person who had taken Mo Li away was: "The one who saved you and Hua Baixian is the Lord of the Nine Springs Realm?!"
“That’s right!” Mo Li nodded with a smile. “He also told me about the future structure of the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace has actually become a puppet of the Demon Race, hasn’t it? But…”
"Making the Heavenly Palace a mere shell is Jiuquan's mission!" Mo Li said innocently. "Bu Yunrui, you can't challenge Jiuquan. Everything in heaven and earth is under Jiuquan's control!"
Bu Yunrui lowered his head, his face grim, and clenched his fists. Suddenly, he spoke with a furious expression, "Gu Liyan, if it weren't for you, the Heavenly Palace's structure wouldn't have changed! If it weren't for your appearance, Cangmu wouldn't have suspected the existence of Jiuquan! And he wouldn't have driven me out of the Demon Clan to find the key to the gate! It's you! It's all because of your appearance that I made one wrong choice after another!"
Everyone looked at Bu Yunrui with sympathy; sometimes, fate is just that coincidental.
Mo Li stared coldly at Bu Yunrui without saying a word. He had lost a lot because of this, but he still firmly believed that they would meet again and that tomorrow would be sunny!
So he was willing to let go, he put it down, and he stopped clinging on.
"Aaaaaah—Gu Liyan, I'm going to kill you!" Bu Yunrui suddenly sprang up and charged toward Mo Li.
