When Jun He saw Gu Yuan, the anger that had just subsided flared up again. His aura was as if someone had killed his dearest kin.
He handed Chi Yu to the White Impermanence beside him, then reached for his waist and drew out the golden-threaded soft sword.
"Gu Yuan, pay with your life!"
Gu Yuan stood opposite him, his face showing no sign of emotion. The soft sword, like a spiritual snake, whistled towards Gu Yuan's face with a strong wind.
Gu Yuan tapped his feet lightly and retreated as the speed of Jun He's soft sword advanced. The two clashed their weapons and fought all the way to the Southern Heavenly Gate, evenly matched.
Until Gu Yuan leaped down from the Southern Heavenly Gate. Jun He, already bloodthirsty, followed suit and jumped down.
Just after Jun He jumped, he realized he had fallen into a trap. Gu Yuan hadn't actually jumped out of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Jun He quickly changed direction and tried to rush back, but was bounced off by the powerful barrier outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, Jun He did his best to break in, but with the blood of the Demon King flowing in his veins, the barrier of the Southern Heavenly Gate, which grew stronger against stronger opponents, made it impossible for him to enter.
He watched helplessly as Gu Yuan walked up to the White Impermanence, took Chi Yu's body, turned around, and gave Jun He a cold look, a look that was unfathomable.
No one could guess what Gu Yuan was thinking at this moment.
Jun He stared angrily as Gu Yuan carried Chi Yu away. He hated himself for losing Chi Yu again. Desperate, he slumped to the ground.
"The fight between us at the Southern Heavenly Gate will soon reach the ears of the upper celestial beings. If you don't want to die, get back to the City of Eternal Night."
"Chi Yu is dead. What's the meaning of my living? If you have the guts, just kill me..." Jun He roared hysterically at Gu Yuan.
"Don't you want to take revenge on me? If you die... then Chi Yu will have died in vain."
Jun He, who had lost the will to live, suddenly thought of how miserably Chi Yu had died. The spark of survival that was about to go out in his heart flared up again.
"Gu Yuan... I'll take your life sooner or later..."
Gu Yuan carried Chi Yu's body and hooked his lips wickedly at Jun He: "I'll be waiting."
After saying that, he turned into a silver light and disappeared.
The White Impermanence quickly rushed out and pulled Jun He up.
"Jun He, let's go quickly. The upper celestial beings are coming."
"I can't go. I'm going to save my mother now. You're a celestial being. You should know where she's imprisoned?"
"Your mother..." At the mention of Gu Qingcheng, the old White Impermanence actually burst into tears.
Seeing the White Impermanence's reaction, Jun He already knew the answer. It seemed that Gu Qingcheng was in great danger.
"Mother..." Jun He's demonic nature flared up again. The power shook the coiled dragon pillars of the Southern Heavenly Gate, cracking them in several places.
At the same time, a large number of upper celestial beings rushed over in a hurry to check the situation.
The White Impermanence saw that things were going badly. A strong dragon couldn't overpower the local snakes. Even if Jun He's magic power was strong, he couldn't withstand so many opponents.
He supported Jun He's arm and took him down from the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The strong wind howled. I seemed to empathize with Jun He. His emotional fluctuations seemed to be connected to mine. At this moment, he was truly in great pain. The only thing that supported him was the thought of revenge.
And I was also influenced by his chaotic thoughts. The only thing in my mind was to take revenge on Gu Yuan.
"Come back when you've had your fun..." A cold voice suddenly sounded in my ear. This voice was both familiar and strange. I couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but I was sure it was someone I was very familiar with.
After his voice faded, I felt my body start to shake continuously. The shaking made my head ache and my heart panic. I quickly tried to grab Jun He's arm to steady myself, but I missed. How could Jun He disappear without a sound?
In a panic, I looked around everywhere. However, a strong sense of weightlessness came over me. The strong wind above my head roared, making my head ache as if something was being pulled out of it.
The pain was so intense that I couldn't stand still. Until all the objects in front of me started to spin crazily. I couldn't see the objects in front of me clearly. It was so white that it was overexposed.
In the blink of an eye, my body seemed to have its soul return. It twitched violently twice.
"Lan Lan... Lan Lan... You're back..."
"Gu Yuan... Why, why did you kill Chi Yu?" I was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself.
It took me a long time to recover. Then I suddenly opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time.
"Lan Lan... You're finally awake..." A Yin beside me was holding a towel and constantly wiping the cold sweat off my forehead. Her face was full of worry. I could feel her hands shaking.
"A Yin..."
I came to my senses and tried to sit up with my hands supporting me. But my head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. I hugged my head with both hands and couldn't sit up for a long time.
A Yin quickly supported my arm so that I could lean comfortably against the head of the bed.
After sitting up straight, I found that I was lying on Chi Yu's bed. Besides A Yin accompanying me, Bai Qi and Jun He weren't in the room.
A Yin took my hand and said with concern, "Lan Lan, you're finally awake. You scared me to death."
I tilted my head, not understanding what A Yin meant. "What's going on? Didn't Jun He and I enter his memory together? Where is he?"
I looked around again, suspecting that he was playing a prank. After looking for a long time, he didn't appear. So it was very likely that he had left.
"Some guests have come to the City of Eternal Night. They've gone out to receive them and told me to guard you here. I thought you would wake up soon after Jun He woke up, but I waited for a long time. You were sweating profusely and talking in your sleep. No matter how I called you, you couldn't wake up. Do you know that if it had been a little later, you would have been trapped and couldn't have come out."
"Is it that scary? Fortunately, someone called my name just now. He said to come back when I'd had my fun, and then I really came back."
"Who was calling you? Could it be Jun He? Logically, no one but Jun He can see you, but it shouldn't be. He left a long time ago."
"I don't know either. The voice was very familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I'd heard it... My head feels like it's been emptied."
"Don't think about it. Thinking too much will give you a headache." I shook my heavy head forcefully and got out of bed.
"Let's go find Jun He and Bai Qi."
A Yin immediately grabbed me and stammered, "It's... better not. They said you can't leave this room."
"Why? Who on earth has come?" I frowned. I could tell at a glance that A Yin was hiding something from me.
"I... I don't know... They didn't say." A Yin let go of my hand and quickly turned around, not wanting me to see her expression.
"You're still lying. If you don't tell me, I'll go out and see for myself..."
Saying that, I was about to open the door of the room. Seeing this, A Yin quickly rushed up and blocked the door with her body, shouting, "You can't go out. You'll die if you go out..."
