"Young Master Li is right."
While lost in his memories, Ning Weisheng suddenly heard Ji Mofan's voice.
He slowly raised his head and saw the calm and undisturbed expression in his eyes.
Neither Li Cansheng's incessant chatter nor his current tearful state seemed to affect his emotions in the slightest.
Ning Weisheng felt that the look in his eyes was somewhat familiar.
It's like...
The way those powerful figures looked down on him when he was weak.
The figure was clearly reflected in those black pupils, but it seemed as if it was not taken seriously at all.
"Li Cansheng, you secretly came to the Demon Realm amidst the chaos, and even threw away the jade token that could represent your identity. What are your true thoughts—"
Ji Mofan subtly elongated the last syllable of his words, giving them a dangerous undertone.
"—You actually want to stay in the Demon Realm, right?"
Even though he wasn't directly involved, Ning Weisheng couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart as he listened to Ji Mofan speak.
This is no laughing matter.
If he were a rogue cultivator, or even belonged to a sect like the Yuncang Sword Sect, getting involved with demonic cultivators wouldn't necessarily mean certain death.
Li Geyue's situation at the time was due to his past actions of injuring people, his repeated failure to reform despite being taught, which led to serious consequences, and finally, his act of betraying his master and ancestors, which forced him to jump off the Execution Platform.
Otherwise, he would still have a chance of survival.
But Li Cansheng was different from him. He was a member of the main Li family, which was the oldest and longest-standing family in the entire cultivation world.
Aristocratic families value reputation and social standing far more than sects. If someone is from a distant, unrelated branch of the family, the main family may not be able to intervene and the matter may simply be allowed to slip by unnoticed.
But the master's family would be subject to even stricter constraints, and would never be allowed to commit such a colossal and heinous crime.
"I absolutely never thought that! No!" Li Cansheng immediately clasped his hands together and pointed to the sky in protest after being accused of such a serious crime.
"I came here only because I heard about Senior Brother Ji Mo, that's all!"
Whether this reason is true or not, Li Cansheng has no choice but to say this, otherwise his decision will not end well.
"My jade pendant fell outside because I was caught by the demon soldiers of the border city in such a hurry that if my identity were exposed, it might bring other troubles. That's why I threw away the jade pendant that could identify me!"
This is a rather weak reason.
Li Geyue, who was in the same situation as him, also needed to frequently come into contact with demonic cultivators after entering the Demon Realm, but he never had the idea of throwing away his family's jade pendant.
The reason is simple: he has always been very concerned about his identity as a member of the Li family.
Now that he has fallen into the demonic path, it is no surprise that no one in the Li family will acknowledge his existence anymore. Therefore, this small plaque on his body has become his last obsession.
Therefore, Li Cansheng's casual act of throwing away the jade pendant precisely proves his eagerness to abandon his old identity.
If he hadn't coincidentally met Ning Weisheng in the dungeon this time, he probably would have continued to stay nearby, lying in wait for an opportunity.
After all, although he possessed the Li family's white jade token, he had never appeared in front of the world as frequently as Li Jinchu. If it weren't for Li Jinchu's words, no one would know who he was.
However, there is no point in continuing to discuss these issues now, as there is no evidence to prove Li Cansheng's mental journey.
He did indeed play a crucial role in the group's breakout operation, indirectly rescuing many righteous cultivators imprisoned in the dungeon. It is inappropriate to impose such a fabricated charge on him.
It's inconvenient for them to stay here and waste time on such trivial topics.
Besides the initial group of a dozen or so, other cultivators who had broken through the chaos gradually approached them.
Even after he and the others took off on their swords, Ning Weisheng was still unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He realized that he and Ji Mofan were not really on the same level.
Having been exceptionally talented since childhood, Ji Mofan was not empathized with Li Cansheng's rambling at all, which allowed him to see the latter's true purpose behind the emotional rhetoric.
However, he himself had not considered this possibility at all before Ji Mofan spoke, and even developed feelings towards Li Jinchu because of their few words.
As the leaders of the Sword Sect and the Li family in this incident, any conflict between the two of them would have a significant impact on the entire operation.
He looked up at the blue figure swaying in front of him.
...Well, once he gets back to the Yun Cang Sword Sect, he'll probably just have to ask to spend some time at the Yi Ku Cliff.
Such recklessness and disrespect have truly disgraced my fellow disciples.
The group, who had been secretive on their way there, returned much more blatantly.
The squad was expanded by righteous cultivators who were oppressed by demonic cultivators along the way, so they no longer needed to worry about encountering small groups of demonic soldiers who would ambush them.
With something happening in the border town, the other demon generals who are still conducting a thorough search in other areas will surely receive the news soon and will probably arrive at the scene very quickly.
Therefore, rather than hiding their whereabouts, quickly escaping the control of the demon realm is the most important thing.
It wasn't until everyone had crossed the last city gate of the Southern Frontier and their feet were truly on the land of the cultivation world that the feeling of being alive again finally burst forth from their blood through their hearts and flowed through their limbs and bones.
When Ji Mofan jumped off the Embracing Snow Sword, his figure swayed again.
He had only managed to recover some strength with just one bottle of medicine, and now it's all gone.
This time, for no apparent reason, two hands handed him two medicine bottles.
