Gui Xiao watched Mu Anxiao's obviously trembling shoulders and laughed without reservation.
Those demon souls also laughed.
These laughs were so jarring to Mu Anxiao.
Live?
She didn't know if she could survive, but she knew that Wan Sha hated her to the bone.
Mu Anxiao: "..."
Gu Xiao and A Xia exchanged a look, but they couldn't laugh.
Wan Sha said, "Seeing you like this makes me sick." She then turned to Gui Xiao and said, "Tie her up."
"Why not just start directly?"
"Wait until Feng Qishi dies, then begin." Wan Sha could feel that Feng Qishi was not dead.
However, Gui Xiao couldn't feel anything. "Anyone who touches that god will die the moment they remove their hand."
"Did you hear the explosion?" Wan Sha's gaze bore directly into Gui Xiao's face.
Gui Xiao lowered his eyes and thought, showing an awkward expression. "..."
"You didn't hear it?"
Gui Xiao shook his head slightly.
"You didn't hear it? Then tie her up," Wan Sha said, turning her back.
Life, death?
Mu Anxiao chose life. She didn't want to die. Having lived for so long, she had indeed harmed many demons, people, and immortals during this time.
But if she died like this, she felt it wouldn't be worth it.
Thinking this, she glanced at Wan Sha's back, took a deep breath, and fixed her gaze on Gui Xiao, who had stopped in front of her. "I've thought about it," she said, throwing her dagger.
Gui Xiao manifested ropes. "What you think has nothing to do with me."
Mu Anxiao: "I've thought about it. My life is my own. Your threats," she retracted her silver rope and manifested her soul sword, "are useless!" Seeing this, Gui Xiao took a few steps back.
Wan Sha frowned at Gui Xiao's panicked expression. She immediately turned to Mu Anxiao, who held the soul sword, and said, "A Xia, that's yours."
A Xia: "I can't use it."
Wan Sha was startled and turned to A Xia. "Why?"
A Xia: "When I use it, it's in a half-sealed state."
"And then?"
"The day I stabbed Mu Anxiao with it, it broke the seal and chose Mu Anxiao. I can't use it anymore."
Wan Sha: "..." She was stunned for a moment and turned back to Mu Anxiao, whose eyes were now filled with only rage.
Gui Xiao exclaimed, "No way? She's become a demon."
Wan Sha frowned. "How could this happen?"
Mu Anxiao said, "Wan Sha, if you dare to kill those people, I'll kill all of you demon souls." As she spoke, she glanced at those demon souls.
The demon souls, seeing this, showed expressions of fear one by one.
Wan Sha: "You're just trying to scare us."
Mu Anxiao: "Let them go, and I'll let you go."
"You..."
As Wan Sha uttered just one word, the soul sword in Mu Anxiao's hand suddenly began to struggle.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
The soul sword remained silent, only struggling.
Following this, Mu Anxiao frowned and, thinking of the situation with Feng Qishi, her heart sank. Her grip loosened, and the soul sword shot out.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She watched the soul sword fly away, feeling lost.
Then, those demon souls burst into laughter.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She looked bitter and slowly turned to face Wan Sha and the others.
Wan Sha said sideways, "Go ahead."
Gui Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and gracefully approached Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She swallowed and, as she was about to manifest her silver rope with her hands spread, Wan Sha said, "Mu Anxiao, don't humiliate yourself."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's eyes darkened, and she clenched her fist.
Gu Xiao and A Xia, seeing Mu Anxiao like this and thinking of her heartless words, did not intend to help.
In the next moment.
Mu Anxiao was bound.
Gui Xiao, with one hand holding the rope and the other on his hip, said, "That's all the ability you have."
Mu Anxiao glared at Gui Xiao.
Immediately, Gui Xiao reached out and tightly grabbed Mu Anxiao's ear, saying, "Dare to glare at me? You're looking for death."
"Don't touch me," Mu Anxiao growled.
Gui Xiao: "..." He greedily tightened his grip on Mu Anxiao's ear.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She furiously glared at Gui Xiao.
Wan Sha said, "Since the soul sword has gone to Feng Qishi, then fine, we'll wait for him to come."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao finally shifted her gaze back to Wan Sha's face. "What do you mean?"
Wan Sha said, "I mean, I want Feng Qishi to watch you commit suicide, and then I'll kill him. Only then can I gain true freedom."
"You are truly despicable."
"Not as much as you."
"You..."
Gu Xiao interrupted Mu Anxiao. "When you were unscrupulous, did you ever think about our feelings?"
A Xia: "Exactly, you..." She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly recalling the events that happened with Mu Anxiao in the demon realm, her eyes darkened. "..."
Gu Xiao: "..." He frowned at A Xia, who was about to speak.
A Xia glanced at Mu Anxiao and said softly, "If it was for the mission, she probably wouldn't have helped Yang Tai, right?" She turned to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao was taken aback and looked at Mu Anxiao. "Yeah."
"She did it on purpose?"
"On purpose..." Gu Xiao said softly, meeting A Xia's eyes. "She did it for us?"
A Xia nodded slightly.
However, Wan Sha did not hear their conversation.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
Gu Xiao glanced at A Xia and said, "She's not feeling well."
Gu Xiao knew that if he directly went to help Mu Anxiao now, the outcome would be predictable: failure.
Therefore, after interacting with Mu Anxiao and the others, he understood that it was better to use his brain for everything.
Although he was a demon soul, he had no brain to speak of.
A Xia heard this and nodded. "Yes, I'm not feeling well."
Wan Sha asked, "What's wrong?"
A Xia said, "Before," she said as she walked, "I really trusted her very much. Who knew that she would continue to use us for the mission? When I think about this, I get angry." She stopped beside Wan Sha.
"I felt something was wrong with her back then. You were too foolish," Wan Sha said with deep sympathy.
A Xia: "Yes, too foolish."
At the same time, Gui Xiao looked at Gu Xiao. "You too. You joined them for no reason."
Gu Xiao: "I came back, didn't I?"
Gui Xiao: "..." He was speechless.
Mu Anxiao, looking at them talking about her, snorted, "For mission benefits, you've always been for benefits. What's the point of pretending to be close friends here?"
Wan Sha: "You're about to die, I'll let you talk for a while longer."
"..." Mu Anxiao glared at Wan Sha, then fixed her gaze on the civilians whose ears were plugged and eyes were covered, saying, "If I die, will you stop harming them?"
Wan Sha said, "Letting them know about us is also trouble for us. As soon as you die, I will erase their memories, and they will return to their normal lives. As for you," she smiled, "you will be infamous."
"You..." Mu Anxiao was about to say something but stopped, looking at Wan Sha.
