Gu Yan stared coldly at Gu Yuan, who had asked the question, and let out a cold laugh, "Because... this is the Soul Scattering Technique, so of course, you would feel pain." As she spoke, she forcefully pulled her single arm from Gu Yuan's body and shouted, "This is the consequence of you harming me." She retreated several steps.
Seeing this, Gu Yan stopped in her tracks.
"Soul scattering..." Gu Yuan murmured in disbelief, then looked at Gu Yan, who was glaring at her. After a few seconds of stillness, she burst into laughter.
Gu Yan was taken aback. Suddenly, she couldn't understand Gu Yuan.
Gu Yan also became confused after Gu Yuan's laughter, "What are you laughing about?"
"I..." Gu Yuan said, red spots beginning to appear at the corners of her mouth, "The thing I regret least in this life is... this. You... killing me, you will never escape this crime, Gu Yan... you will be repaid, you will be repaid."
"You... you are the one who will be repaid. It wasn't me who killed you, why are you spouting nonsense? You deserve to die, this is your retribution, your retribution," Gu Yan retorted, anxious.
Gu Yuan smiled, "Gu Yan... you will definitely be repaid. You... you are destined to be alone your whole life, you are destined to die tragically. Shen Moyun," she clutched her chest, her body leaning forward slightly, and continued, "is destined not to like you. With a demon soul like yours, you still want to soar to high branches and become a phoenix. Delusional, bah."
"That's enough," Gu Yan could no longer tolerate it. She waved her single arm, letting the red light slash through Gu Yuan's body, "Go die. Go die." After speaking, she withdrew her hand, her eyes wide.
After Gu Yan's attack, Gu Yuan knelt on the ground, but even so, it couldn't stop her from speaking, "You will die a more miserable death than me, you definitely..."
"Shut up," Gu Yan roared, interrupting Gu Yuan.
After Gu Yan's words, Gu Yuan tilted her head back and burst into laughter.
Gu Yan watched Gu Yuan's forced smile, her heart aching, "Gu Yuan." Gu Yuan was beyond saving, so... she could only call out Gu Yuan's name, she could do nothing else.
The next second, in response to Gu Yan's call, Gu Yuan slowly turned her head to look at her, "Come here for a moment." She gave a strained smile, trying not to let Gu Yan be frightened by her appearance.
"You..."
"I have something to say to you." Gu Yuan completely ignored Gu Yan.
"..." Gu Yan's eyes sank. She glanced back at Gu Yan, then walked gracefully to Gu Yuan's side and crouched down.
Conversely, as Gu Yan crouched down, Gu Yan burst into laughter, "Haha, a demon soul about to vanish still has last words to convey. How utterly ridiculous. Fine," she muttered to herself, glaring at Gu Yan, "I'll see what dying wish she can fulfill for you." After saying that, she strode towards them.
Seeing this, Gu Yan quickly cast a spell to set up a barrier, a demon realm. Gu Yan immediately stopped in her tracks, her gaze sweeping over the demon realm emanating a yellow light, and shouted, "Gu Yan, what are you doing?"
"Speak," Gu Yan completely ignored Gu Yan, who was shouting outside.
In response, Gu Yuan was relieved, "Gu Tie's soul body is inside. I hope you... you save her. Also," she endured the burning pain in her body, meeting Gu Yan's eyes, "I lied. It wasn't for you, it was for myself. I wanted to earn merit, I wanted a next life. But... nothing is possible now." After speaking, a red illusory light slid down from the corner of her eye.
"You're fine..." Gu Yan couldn't finish what she was saying.
Gu Yuan smiled, "My only wish now is for Gu Tie to live well. If... if there is a chance, I hope you can tell her I'm sorry." After saying this, her soul body began to gradually become transparent.
At this moment, Gu Yan was powerless... so she could only respond, "Okay."
Immediately after, Gu Yuan completely dissipated.
Then, Gu Yan raised her head, her face filled with despair as she looked at the red illusory light gradually fading with the wind, and said coldly, "Are you satisfied now?" She slowly stood up and looked at Gu Yan.
"Not satisfied," Gu Yan said, lowering her hands that had been on the demon realm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I want her to die in extreme agony. It's all you. None of this has met my expectations. Now, your life is mine." After saying this, red light emanated from between her hands.
"Your demonic arts have always been unstable, and you've used this demonic art in such an unstable state," Gu Yan was not afraid of Gu Yan at all. She raised two fingers and pointed towards the demon realm, and the demon realm disappeared. She continued, "It seems you truly don't want to live."
"You are talking nonsense," Gu Yan roared.
"Gu Yuan has always been a talent in the master's eyes. The master said he would utilize her greatly. Now, look, you have completely killed her. Not only that," Gu Yan glanced at the souls who were unwilling to move due to the sky, "you've also stirred up the resentment within their souls, which is an additional sin, isn't it?" She turned and glared at Gu Yan.
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Gu Yan's teeth itched with anger, "You shut up." Her eyes widened, and the red light in her hands became even brighter.
However, Gu Yan felt nothing from this. "Stop it."
"I want to kill you, even if I die, I will..."
"The master's task for you was to marry Feng Qishi. If you kill me," Gu Yan said, "will you be willing?"
"..." Gu Yan hesitated.
Gu Yan knew Gu Yan would hesitate, so she deliberately fell silent, waiting for Gu Yan's new decision.
Just then, the souls on the other side let out a roar. Hearing the sounds from over there, Gu Yan felt a sense of crisis, "Answer me quickly. If you don't answer soon, they will really pounce over."
"You harmed me so much, why are you still saving me?" Gu Yan suddenly couldn't understand Gu Yan anymore.
Gu Yan let out a cold laugh, "Whatever you say, that's what it is. From beginning to end, I have never harmed you. The facts are clear, it was you who killed Gu Yuan."
"You..."
"The master is not to be trifled with. I advise you to make amends before he arrives, otherwise, you will truly be finished."
"But..."
"Stop dawdling, go quickly. Take them in. I am suppressing the spread of demonic energy now," Gu Yan said, raising her arms above her head and beginning to suppress it.
Seeing this, Gu Yan instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, so she quickly turned and walked towards the souls, "You all get in here." She roared, attempting to suppress the resentment within their souls.
Gu Yan glanced at Gu Yan and continued to help.
At the same time, those rebellious souls began to roar again.
In front of the General's Mansion, Hun Ling and Jia Yi heard the roars coming from that direction, and they both stopped, turning their heads to look in the direction of the sound.
