I originally thought that Jun He had completely lost his mind and didn't even recognize me.
But when I drew my sword and was about to stop them, those evil spirits bypassed me directly and rushed towards Man Yue.
Normally, Man Yue could have dodged, but she pretended to be pitiful and let out a hysterical wail.
"Long Lin, save me!" Unable to bear the attack of those demons, Man Yue stretched out a hand. On her wrist, a bracelet exactly the same as the one I used to wear appeared. A strong blue light burst out from the bracelet, and those evil spirits disappeared like a movie film, accompanied by howls.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light flashed, and Long Lin appeared in the studio, holding a jade - bone fan in his hand.
Before this, every time I saw Long Lin, he always showed up with a smiling face, full of charm.
However, today he looked serious. As soon as he landed, he didn't even glance at me and walked directly towards Man Yue.
"Man Yue, how did you end up like this?" He quickly took off his coat and put it on Man Yue.
Man Yue's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of grievance.
She hugged Long Lin and sobbed.
"Long Lin... She's gone demonic. She wants to kill me... Wuwuwu..."
Man Yue pointed at me. The current situation was exactly as she described.
I was holding the Demon Lord's long sword in my hand, and the Demon Lord was beside me, controlling a horde of evil spirits to kill Man Yue.
Long Lin hugged Man Yue and looked at me and Jun He angrily.
"You..." Long Lin was indignant and wanted to question me, but was stopped by Jun He's stern voice.
"... So what if I want to kill her? Doesn't she deserve to die? Look at the people lying on the ground. They're all her doing."
Hearing Jun He's words, Man Yue kept shaking her head. Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down. If one didn't know the situation, they would really be deceived by her pitiful appearance.
"It's not like this. It's all Lan Chiyu's doing. It's her and the Demon Lord who brought these here. She wants to kill me because she hates what I did to her before and hates that I had a past with Gu Yuan. So... Wuwuwu..."
"... I've already agreed to give her the Soul Chapter. I've also told her that all I did before was because of Bai Xiangjun. Now that Bai Xiangjun is gone, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, Long Lin... If she stays, we'll never have a good life. Wuwuwu..."
She covered her face with both hands and cried pitifully. It was obvious that Long Lin really believed what Man Yue said.
This Man Yue was really something. She could lie without batting an eye. As for the Soul Chapter, it had long been lost somewhere.
Even more incredibly, Long Lin actually believed her, and he believed her completely.
After listening to Man Yue's words, he looked at me sideways. When his peach - blossom eyes met mine again, there was no more tenderness in them.
"Lan Lan, I've always regarded you as my best friend. I've also said before that I only want Man Yue, and I've promised not to hurt you. But today you've openly crossed my line, so don't blame me for not showing mercy for our past friendship..."
There was determination in Long Lin's words. It seemed that he was determined to fight me today.
Jun He wouldn't stand for this. He shouted at Long Lin, "You're supposed to be a high - ranking immortal. Are you blind? Can't you see that the woman behind you has turned into a demon? Just now she was a weak demon. If she hadn't absorbed Lan Lan's spiritual energy, how could she have recovered so quickly?"
Long Lin scoffed at Jun He's words. "If she's a demon, then what are you? Isn't it the duty of us high - ranking immortals to get rid of demons? You're so close to Lan Lan. I have reason to believe that she's been completely demonized by you."
Long Lin's words made me furious. Jun He was right. He was really blind.
"Long Lin, it doesn't matter what you think. I, Lan Chiyu, have a clear conscience. I'm determined to take Man Yue's life today."
As I finished speaking, I lifted a row of floor tiles with my long sword and threw them at Man Yue.
Long Lin looked shocked. He waved his sleeve and blocked the ceramic fragments that were like steel cones, then rushed towards me.
I stood still on the spot. Jun He stepped forward and blocked in front of me, then fought with Long Lin.
Seeing the two of them locked in a fierce battle, I looked sideways at Man Yue who was curled up on the ground.
She also looked at me with a venomous look in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth hooked into an evil arc.
"You have a man to protect you, and so do I. Now it's time for us to have a showdown."
Man Yue put on Long Lin's coat and tied a knot around her waist. Then she waved her arm, and the Demon - Subduing Pestle that had fallen on the ground returned to her hand.
"Lan Chiyu, today is your day of doom."
She held the Demon - Subduing Pestle high above her head. Countless electric currents gathered on the pestle from above.
Her body was also wrapped in tens of thousands of volts of electricity. The electricity made a sizzling sound on her body, and sparks flashed from time to time.
She had completely become a high - voltage person. One touch and you'd turn into a piece of charcoal.
"Lan Chiyu, go to hell..."
As she finished speaking, she pushed the Demon - Subduing Pestle hard, and the electric sparks of tens of thousands of volts rushed towards me like lightning.
I was holding my long sword and was about to fight her to see whether the spirit of the snake scales in me was more powerful or her Demon - Subduing Pestle.
However, just as I rushed out with my sword, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
The electric current from the Demon - Subduing Pestle hit his body and directly wrapped him in it.
Suddenly, sparks flew all over this person's body. I took a closer look and saw that this person was none other than Gu Yuan.
He actually blocked this fatal electric shock for me. Just as I was about to catch him.
He shouted at me, "Don't touch me."
I stopped in my tracks and watched as his body spun in the air, and then he directly grabbed Man Yue's arm with one hand.
Man Yue didn't expect Gu Yuan to grab her. She was stunned for a moment, and there was even a hint of affection in her eyes.
Man Yue was pulled down by Gu Yuan and fell on his chest. Gu Yuan gently shook his sleeve, and a Yuchang Dagger appeared in his hand.
"Uh..." Man Yue let out a muffled groan as the dagger with the evil - suppressing talisman plunged directly into her heart.
Immediately afterwards, blood spurted from her chest. Gu Yuan had already pulled out the dagger, and the blood stained the ground and splashed onto Gu Yuan's face.
Man Yue looked at the blood on her chest and then at Gu Yuan, looking completely incredulous.
She let out a shrill scream and looked at Gu Yuan with venom in her eyes.
"Gu Yuan, I never thought that I would die at your hands. I'm not willing, I'm not willing... Ah..."
"Your life in this world was given by me, and it's only natural for me to take it back."
Gu Yuan's voice was extremely cold. Man Yue's eyes were full of hatred. She looked at Gu Yuan like a resentful woman.
"Gu Yuan... I'll make you accompany me to hell even if I die."
As she said this, she opened her palm and grabbed at Gu Yuan.
