"Nangong Mo, you're just jealous that I like the same person as you. You're afraid I'll snatch her away, so you want to dig up my scars and get me ostracized!"
"But even so, what does it matter! I admit I killed many children with my bare hands. To extract the purest spiritual energy in this world, I personally dug out their hearts while they were still alive!"
"Have any of you ever seen what it feels like to hold their tiny hearts in my hands, still warm and steaming?"
As he spoke, Ouyang Qinglin's mind conjured images from his past cultivation.
He spoke with self-absorption: "Such warm hearts, so pure, so beautiful. After I refined the pure spiritual energy, I suddenly felt that this technique suited me perfectly."
"You have no idea how wonderful it felt to be reborn when I cultivated to the tenth level."
"Enough, Ouyang Qinglin, stop talking! We don't have a friend like you!"
Meng Qinghua, holding his long sword, immediately attacked Ouyang Qinglin.
The moment Nangong Mo spoke, Ouyang Qinglin knew he could no longer be friends with these people.
When Meng Qinghua attacked him, he also retaliated.
The two began to fight.
During the exchange, Ouyang Qinglin's voice carried over, "Nangong Mo, do you think you're any better? You knew what I was doing, so why didn't you stop me? Hahaha..."
"Nangong Mo, you just want to watch me do those things and be condemned by these people. Nangong Mo, your righteousness is all built on your lies. You're not a good person either!"
Having known Ouyang Qinglin for many years, Meng Qinghua did not strike with full force.
Ouyang Qinglin was more than capable of dealing with him.
Hearing Ouyang Qinglin's words, Du Chun looked towards Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo offered no further explanation to Du Chun's questioning gaze.
He turned his gaze towards Gu Qianying, who was currently locked in a battle with Lan Ling Nu within a barrier.
Ouyang Qinglin's ambition had been evident from the moment he became a demonized person.
Now, his reason for exposing him was merely to let Meng Qinghua and the others see Ouyang Qinglin for who he truly was.
Whether his friends would continue to accept Ouyang Qinglin afterward was not his concern.
Nor would he interfere; everyone had their own definition of friendship.
Naturally, the person he cared about most at this moment was his wife, Gu Qianying.
Several black threads shot from Gu Qianying's palm, instantly entangling Lan Ling Nu.
Within the confined space of the blood-cursed barrier, Lan Ling Nu would need some effort to break the curse and escape.
However... at this moment, Gu Qianying gave her no chance to falter.
As she turned, her sword was ensnared by the black threads, and her entire body was tightly bound.
Furthermore, her spiritual power was suppressed by demonic energy, rendering her unable to unleash it.
She was also a person of profound spiritual power, but at this moment, due to Gu Qianying's speed and precision, Lan Ling Nu was at a disadvantage.
Blood was thrown.
The barrier shattered!
As the vertical black threads dispersed, Gu Qianying seized Lan Ling Nu by the neck.
She looked at her coldly, "Repeat what you just said, word for word. Otherwise... no matter who you are, or who you are to me, I will send you to your death right here!"
The barrier was broken.
Nangong Mo could finally approach Gu Qianying.
"Wife..."
But before he could finish speaking, Gu Qianying interrupted him coldly, "I want the truth!"
These five words alone conveyed her stance.
Nangong Mo's back stiffened.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt that his wife, the one he had always wanted to protect, had long since "grown up" and no longer needed his protection.
And it was at this moment that Nangong Mo saw her decisiveness, her determination, and her unshakeable "uniqueness" on Gu Qianying's face.
Nangong Mo opened his mouth but remained silent, allowing Gu Qianying to continue choking Lan Ling Nu.
As the sensation of near suffocation set in, Lan Ling Nu no longer possessed her haughty, arrogant sense of superiority.
She cried out to Nangong Mo for help, "Junior Brother, I am your Senior Sister! You cannot let your wife treat me so cruelly. Hurry and tell your wife to let me go."
Nangong Mo glanced at her, unmoved. "I listen to my wife. My wife calls the shots."
Lan Ling Nu: "..."
"Nangong Mo, you're a guy who prioritizes love over friendship! You... you... like this... I'll tell Master!"
Seeing Nangong Mo's "indifference," Lan Ling Nu clearly began to panic.
She never imagined that her junior brother would ignore her just to please his wife.
Lan Ling Nu cursed Nangong Mo countless times in her heart.
Turning her head, she forced a smile onto her face and looked at Gu Qianying, "Girl, I know you won't kill me. After all, I am your aunt, your mother's sister. No matter what I said just now, I promise that my relationship with your mother is real."
Seeing Gu Qianying's silence, Lan Ling Nu thought she had wavered and continued, "Girl, do you know? You are most like your mother. Your mother, my sister, always said that one day, the child she gave birth to would be the cutest, kindest baby in the world."
"She also believed that her child would have a very happy life in the future. Girl, your mother wants you to be a good person who doesn't kill innocents, so... please let me go."
Lan Ling Nu consistently referred to her mother as "sister" and spoke kindly to her.
However... Gu Qianying remained completely unmoved.
She tightened her grip and looked at Lan Ling Nu coldly, "Your brain must be filled with sewage, otherwise, how could it be so insufficient? I already said that only the familial relationships I acknowledge are valid, and that includes blood relations to me."
"Whether or not there is a blood relationship between my brother and me, it doesn't matter. He is the brother I acknowledge, and no matter how many lifetimes, he is my acknowledged brother. And you... even if you truly are my mother's sister, so what?"
"As long as you dare to harm anyone by my side, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
"Of course... for this, I have no reason... and I don't need a reason anymore!"
Demonic energy erupted from her body, powerful demonic energy suppressing Lan Ling Nu so much that she couldn't unleash any spiritual power.
And at this moment, Gu Qianying had her by the throat.
Even if she wanted to escape, it was impossible.
"It... it's our Master, also your husband's Master. He... he wants to see you. Don't kill me, please... let me go... I..."
