"Take them away!" the God of Justice said mercilessly to the heavenly soldiers behind him.
Seeing this, Lin Han was prepared to fight to the end, but she didn't know if he could reduce her last fifty points of corruption.
Just as Lin Han was about to step forward to fight to the death, she felt her sleeve being tugged. Then Mu Yan walked around Lin Han, stood in front of her, and looked at the heavenly soldiers and generals, saying, "I will go with you. There is no need to make things difficult for a mere woman."
Lin Han felt that Mu Yan had definitely gone mad. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have said such a thing. It was no different from suicide.
"Nonsense!" Lin Han angrily transmitted her voice to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan gently held Lin Han's hand and lightly drew a few strokes on her palm.
When the God of Justice saw that Mu Yan was willing to go with them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go."
"I'll go with him!"
The God of Justice ordered his men to take Mu Yan away, while Lin Han hurriedly shouted.
The God of Justice did not object, so the group returned to Heaven.
————
"Your Majesty, this is how things went. I am now delivering it to you for verification." After handing Mu Yan over to another general, the Justice General left.
After learning what had happened, the Heavenly Emperor looked at Mu Yan with a hint of apprehension.
"Water from the Heavenly Pool!" the Heavenly Emperor commanded.
Then a bucket of water from the Heavenly Pool was brought over and gently placed aside.
Looking at the bucket of water from the Heavenly Pool, Mu Yan subconsciously felt extremely uncomfortable.
"If the Demon Lord is reincarnated or the Demon Lord himself, he will feel excruciating pain upon touching this water, and at the same time, his demonic energy will appear."
"If an ordinary person were to encounter this, they would only feel physically and mentally pleased, without any discomfort. As for whether you are the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, a single test would be enough to know." The Heavenly Lord said to Mu Yan below.
He then gave a look to the servant on the ground, who, upon receiving the Heavenly Lord's look, picked up the water from the Heavenly Pool and splashed it onto Mu Yan.
Instantly, black mist filled the sky, and Mu Yan felt intense pain, his whole body trembling, but he clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to make a sound.
When the servants tried to continue splashing water, Lin Han stepped forward to stop them and pulled Mu Yan into her arms.
"Lin Han, what else do you have to say? He is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord. Are you still going to protect him?" Tianjun said to Lin Han below in an unfriendly tone.
Lin Han looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but her face remained indifferent: "As you can see, so how do you plan to deal with him?"
"Naturally, we should kill them to prevent future troubles!" the Heavenly Lord said emphatically.
“But he didn’t hurt anyone! In comparison, he has devoted himself to eliminating demons and monsters for the past ten years. Why should he be sentenced to death just because he is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord?” Lin Han said indignantly.
“Flower Fairy, can you guarantee that he will never do evil? You must know that if he loses his conscience and goes out of control, all living beings will face a huge crisis. How can we be at ease?” a little fairy said from the side.
Mu Yan had recovered by this time. He left Lin Han's embrace and said to the Heavenly Emperor, "If you decide my life or death just because I am a reincarnation, that would be too inhumane."
"Besides, I might not do evil, and I might not inherit all the abilities. If I'm still not at ease, then the power of the Heavenly Court is truly..." Mu Yan stopped halfway through his sentence, leaving them to fill in the gaps themselves.
"Isn't the Flower Fairy able to purify all things? Why not just let them choose between purification or death?" Tianxia quickly said when she saw that Tianjun was wavering.
As soon as Lin Han heard Tianxia speak, she knew it was bad news. Sure enough, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her question was essentially about saving only one of their lives.
“What Fairy Tianxia said makes sense. Let’s do it this way. You can choose.” The Heavenly Lord’s eyes, which had been somewhat wavering, became firm again in an instant.
Mu Yan listened to Tianxia's words. Although he didn't know how much harm the purification would cause to his master, he would be the first to disagree if they wanted to harm his master.
"Look at you, it's because you're too weak that you can't even protect the people you love."
"If you have enough strength, why would you be afraid of them?"
"Give me your body, and I will protect your beloved master."
"Give it to me, stop resisting. You can't protect her. You're so weak that you could be crushed with just one finger."
"Give up."
...
A voice kept echoing in his mind, causing Mu Yan to begin to waver.
Seeing that he was beginning to waver, the voice became even more determined to brainwash Mu Yan.
Seeing that neither of them made a move, the Heavenly Emperor made the decision for them directly—to kill Mu Yan.
Seeing that Mu Yan was about to be attacked, Lin Han rushed forward to block him without thinking, but was unfortunately struck in the heart and lungs, and a mouthful of blood spilled down the corner of her mouth.
Mu Yan was startled by the vivid blood, and the taut string in his heart snapped.
"I promise..."
Then, Mu Yan, who was originally normal, was now surrounded by black mist, and his eyes were blood red.
Without saying a word, he struck at the Heavenly Lord.
"See! Mu Yan has really gone mad!" Tianxia shouted, never one to miss a good show.
Lin Han launched a wind blade directly at Tianxia, perfectly shutting her mouth.
"Charge! Capture him!"
As Tianjun dodged Mu Yan's attack, he shouted outwards.
In an instant, heavenly soldiers and generals filed in, and the entire hall was thrown into chaos.
Even if Mu Yan's strength increased dramatically after losing his self-awareness, he still couldn't withstand the attack of all the heavenly soldiers and generals plus a Heavenly Lord.
Mu Yan was soon covered in bruises, while Lin Han, watching her blackening value skyrocket, felt like she was about to explode.
"Ayan, listen to me, don't get entangled with them anymore, let's fight our way out."
Lin Han rushed forward, grabbed Mu Yan's hand tightly, and pulled him towards the outside of the main hall.
Seeing that the two were trying to escape, the Heavenly Lord attacked even more fiercely. Lin Han not only had to endure the attacks of the heavenly soldiers and generals, but also the harassment of Mu Yan's demonic energy.
Lin Han had suffered numerous injuries, large and small, on just a few steps to the entrance of the main hall, and the wounds were tainted by demonic energy, making them slow to heal.
As soon as they left the main hall, Lin summoned the Purple-Gold Lotus, pulled Mu Yan up, and quickly ran outside.
The heavenly soldiers and generals kept coming after them, and Mu Yan was not to be outdone. Looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him, only one word remained in his mind: "Kill!"
"Ayan! Listen to me! Face yourself! Don't let your inner demons lead you astray!" Lin Han said as he drove his magical artifact to escape while also trying to hold onto Mu Yan tightly.
Mu Yan seemed to be isolated from the world, unable to hear any words.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, Lin Han had no choice but to change course in an attempt to shake them off.
But in any case, they will catch up with us again soon.
