The reason Shen Yunhao rushed back to Linyuan City was because Zhu Li had called to say that a group of strange cultivators had inexplicably appeared in Linyuan City and were dealing with the Shen family.
After Shen Yunhao arrived, Zhu Li informed him today that the group of cultivators had completely disappeared.
Shen Yunhao naturally did not think that the other party had "retreated".
More likely... the target is him personally!
Now that the goal of drawing fire has been achieved, there is no need for me to stay in Lin Yuan City any longer.
Wherever he goes, he can't stay here, lest the Demonic Sect use his family for further schemes...
Indeed, the moment the other party set their sights on the Shen family, Shen Yunhao was basically certain that the one who wanted to lure out Mo Yan was someone from the Demon Sect.
"What do you mean?" Mo Yan had already sensed something was wrong: "You want to leave alone?"
Shen Yunhao sighed and said, "This trip is fraught with unpredictable dangers. It's a matter of life and death. If you come with me, it will only increase the risks. There's really no need for you to come!"
No, no!
Milk Tea immediately became unhappy, her cat face contorted in a mournful expression: "So, Master doesn't want Milk Tea anymore?"
"Of course not, I'm just going out for a bit. You guys stay home and wait for me to come back!" Shen Yunhao pinched the cat's soft ears and laughed, "Milk Tea is so great, she can definitely take good care of the house, right?"
The cat, unusually, fell silent and didn't say a word.
"Come with me for a moment!"
At this moment, Mo Yan uttered a sentence and walked out the door.
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then sighed, put the cat down, and followed.
Upon entering another empty room, Mo Yan took out an antique rust-colored ring and handed it to him.
"W-What are you doing? Are you proposing already?"
"???" Mo Yan almost choked on his words, and kicked him. "This is a Spirit Binding Ring, which can hide your cultivation level. When you're out and about, you have to be a little discreet. Have you been reading novels all these years for nothing?"
"Oh..." Shen Yunhao took the ring and put it on, looking disappointed. "So it wasn't a proposal after all. What a waste of excitement."
Blanch!
Mo Yan didn't say anything about insisting on following along.
The Demonic Sect's core objective is her. Having her follow them, even if it's just Qing Teng's clone, will only bring greater risks to Shen Yunhao.
"If you don't come back, I will kill everyone in the Shen family... Only in this way can I feel at ease shifting the blame onto them. It was these burdens who ruined you!"
Shen Yunhao stared at her blankly for a long time, then just smiled and said, "You wouldn't do that!"
"Why should I? How did you find out?" Mo Yan sneered. "You don't actually think that Qing Teng's will can stop me, do you? Even if she could, so what? I just need to condense another avatar controlled by my own will to slaughter all these mortals! Don't forget, I am the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, a born demon seed, and I never talk about those false righteous doctrines!"
But Shen Yunhao still shook his head, repeating, "You wouldn't do that..."
"..."
"If I die, you will use the Crimson Heart Begonia to eliminate the Black Nether Millet immediately, thwarting the Demon Sect's plans! Then you will lie low in the Dark Abyss and develop your strength. Whether it takes a hundred or a thousand years, you will eventually return to the peak of the Void Realm and then go to settle accounts with the Blood Sect."
"Because after all these years, you're no longer that clumsy, broken-looking girl you used to be..."
"You know, what the Demonic Sect fears is never that you will be blinded by hatred, nor that you will become a demon. What they fear is... a Void Realm level being, hiding in the shadows, plotting revenge against them... a beast that is even more ruthless than them!"
Shen Yunhao stepped forward, looking at the darkness in the girl's eyes, and gently took her hand. "They know very well that you have this potential. As long as you don't show yourself, they will be afraid! And after I'm gone, there won't be any so-called 'saintly heart' to restrain you anymore..."
"asshole!"
Mo Yan finally lost control, clenching her fist and pounding it hard on Shen Yunhao's chest. "I am the Dark Abyss Demon Vine! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! You better live well, you bastard!"
"That's not enough," Mo Yan continued through gritted teeth.
"Why... why must we concern ourselves with the lives of these mortals? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Tianshan? Once I've resolved the issue of those Black Nether Millet, the world is vast, where can't we go? What do we have to fear from those demonic sects! Why must we come out to die so soon!"
"There are so many people in this world who care about you and care about you, yet you don't consider them and insist on sacrificing yourself for a bunch of ordinary people who have bullied you since you were a child. How could I have such a terrible teammate like you!"
It turns out that some emotions do exist, but are simply hidden away.
When the feeling of "never seeing each other again" arises, even Mo Yan will lose control of her emotions.
These matters had already been discussed on Mount Tian, and Mo Yan was more aware of Shen Yunhao's plans than anyone else.
Fake death, fake death... If the Demonic Sect were really that easy to fool, then it wouldn't deserve to be called the Demonic Sect.
If they fail and are captured by the Demon Sect, Mo Yan doesn't even dare to imagine what consequences Shen Yunhao will suffer!
It's probably countless times more terrifying than death...
Knowing full well that they were being targeted, they still left the safe zone to draw fire, for the sake of their heartless family members, and for the sake of... a clear conscience!
Is it really worth it?
However, everyone has the right to rebuke him, but Mo Yan is not.
To put it bluntly, all of this started because of her...
Despite being bombarded with such a long string of words, Shen Yunhao tilted his head and smiled, "Why do you make it sound like I'm doomed? I've prepared so many backup plans, surely they won't all be useless... I think my chances of winning are pretty high!"
The Demonic Sect could never have imagined that Shen Yunhao deliberately came out to attract fire. Within Yunzhou territory, the Demonic Sect would most likely not send out cultivators with particularly high cultivation levels, so Shen Yunhao's chances of winning, as he said, were actually not low.
"But if those people really target my family, they're basically doomed. So, all things considered, it seems better for me to step in... If I know it's a dead end, I won't jump into it..."
Before she could finish speaking, the girl had already thrown herself into Shen Yunhao's arms and buried her head in his chest.
A very faint sound came after a short while.
"Please...don't die...please don't die..."
Upon hearing Mo Yan's words, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.
So... even the proud wisteria girl has such a vulnerable side!
However, this phenomenon only lasted for a moment. The next moment, the girl pushed Shen Yunhao away and walked out the door on her own.
"I've already endured excruciating pain once, and I don't want to suffer it a second time! So you... you're not allowed to die!"
