It turned out that Gu Yan's and Gu Yan's appearance were completely beyond the expectations of Hun Ling and Jia, and the current situation was also something they had not foreseen. Therefore, facing this stalemate, Hun Ling and Jia clearly lost the courage to interject.
Looking at the two of them, they could only regard themselves as spectators.
However, as Gu Yan and the others remained silent, Gu Yan couldn't stand it any longer and roared, "Everyone's silent now, you guys..." Before she could finish, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew out from the abandoned shop. She reluctantly withdrew the words that had reached her lips and looked back in that direction.
Seeing this, Gu Yan and the others uniformly followed Gu Yan's gaze and looked in that direction.
Just then, Gu Yuan hurriedly lowered his head to look at his red-glowing hand and exclaimed, "How could this be?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan retracted her grievance, immediately looked at Gu Yuan, who had betrayed her, and exclaimed, "Not good." Saying that, she quickly looked at Gu Yan again.
Gu Yan, with a cold face, as if she understood everything, said, "You've stirred up trouble."
"You designed this to frame me," Gu Yan said, pointing at Gu Yan.
"This is your own doing," Gu Yan said, looking at the confused Jia and Hun Ling. "Can you two do me a favor?"
Gu Yan sneered upon hearing this. "What are you still pretending for? You're already in cahoots. You..."
"Shut up! Can't you see you've caused trouble?" Gu Yan roared, and then quickly looked at Hun Ling and Jia again. "You two, hurry back to the General's mansion and find the master."
"Which master?" Jia asked, not understanding Gu Yan's words.
Gu Yan, stopped by Gu Yan, dared not speak.
Gu Yan glanced at the shop exuding yin energy and said simply, "Ouyang Ye."
"Ouyang... Ouyang Ye?" Jia exclaimed, feeling nervous in her heart.
"Yes, hurry and find him, and tell him..." Gu Yan said, glancing at Gu Yan, who was on the verge of going mad. She paused for two seconds and continued, "Tell him that the souls here have somehow... gained consciousness, and the situation is very bad."
"What if he asks us how we know? What if he blames us for it? Moreover, he dislikes immortals so much, I'm afraid..." Jia faltered. "He will blame us."
"As long as Mu An Xiao is standing there, the blame won't fall on you. Hurry up," Gu Yan said with full confidence.
"Really?" Jia confirmed again.
Gu Yan nodded.
Seeing Gu Yan's firm expression, Jia also put aside her unnecessary thoughts, looked at Hun Ling, and said determinedly, "Let's go."
"Okay, then..." Hun Ling tilted his head to look at Gu Yuan, who was looking down at him, and said, "What about you?" Knowing that Gu Yuan had gained her own consciousness, she spoke to her normally.
Gu Yuan hesitated.
Seeing Gu Yuan's hesitant expression, Gu Yan thought for her and said, "You stay."
"But..."
"Now is not the time to complain," Gu Yan said deliberately, aiming to make Gu Yan grateful to her. Of course, she knew that Gu Yan was a disloyal soul demon, but... she thought that in matters of life and death, Gu Yan might change a little?
Gu Yan sneered.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan glanced towards Gu Yan and said, "Alright."
"You go," Gu Yan said again.
Then, Hun Ling and Jia nodded and disappeared.
After they left, Gu Yan looked at Gu Yuan with a cold smile. "You've caused trouble."
"I..."
"Your ability to shift the blame hasn't improved much," Gu Yan interrupted Gu Yan's words and looked at Gu Yuan. "Come here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan, without a word, quickly came behind Gu Yan.
Seeing this, Gu Yan sneered. "Let's see how long you can pretend to be a good person."
"I'm not pretending to be a good person," Gu Yan said coldly.
In her exchange with Gu Yan, Gu Yan completely forgot about the urgent situation. "No, then why didn't you let them tell the master that I did it? You..." she said, completely refusing any goodwill from Gu Yan. "You're clearly pretending to be a good person."
"Say whatever you want," Gu Yan gave Gu Yan a sideways glance and turned back to look at the few black-eyed souls who had drifted to the door, saying coldly, "The master's consistent principle is not to harm any mortals. How will you clean up this mess now?"
"You..."
"It was you who awakened the resentment hidden deep within their souls. Now they are like walking dead. In other words," Gu Yan blocked Gu Yuan, staring intently at Gu Yan's face, "your demonic art is hidden within their souls. Before the master arrives, only you can control them." She took Gu Yuan a few steps back.
Gu Yan refused to admit that this had anything to do with her and said angrily, "What does it have to do with me? Don't slander me."
"For those soul-eating monsters and demons, and soul demons, they are top-grade supplements. If you don't control them," Gu Yan's eyes were sharp, "this matter will be difficult to resolve."
"You..." Gu Yan was frightened by Gu Yan's words, and her expression became dazed. "Then what should I do? They've already become like this, and those things must have sensed their presence. Tell me, what should I do?" As she asked, she looked over there and was still scared.
At this moment, everything Gu Yan said was true. Although she hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, she still had to do what needed to be done to protect and resolve it. As for Gu Yan's fate, she no longer cared.
Because Gu Yan had already made a huge mistake. What she could do now was... not let Gu Yan leave with hatred towards her, so she still had to help.
"Push them back and close the door. Perhaps that can buy you some time," she said seriously.
The moment Gu Yan said this, she became flustered. "What should I do?" She looked left and right, but did not act.
Seeing this, Gu Yan said helplessly, "I'll help you." Then, she glanced at Gu Yuan and walked over first.
The next second, Gu Yan's lips curved into a sly smile. Then, as Gu Yan walked over, she looked at Gu Yuan and said, "If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have come to this." Saying that, she clenched her fists and charged at Gu Yuan.
Hearing the sound, Gu Yan quickly stopped, turned around, and saw... Gu Yan's arm had already penetrated Gu Yuan's soul. "Are you crazy?" she roared and ran over.
Gu Yuan never expected Gu Yan to do this to her at this time. Looking at Gu Yan, her eyes were filled with despair as she said, "Why are you doing this to me?" Saying that, she slowly lowered her head to look at Gu Yan's arm, which was filled with red light, and blinked.
Gu Yan said with a sinister and gnashing expression, "I should be asking you that." Saying that, she pushed her arm in further.
Gu Yuan had no strength to fight back and groaned in pain. "Why does it hurt?" She raised her eyes to meet Gu Yan's sinister gaze.
