Chapter 107
After settling their relationship on the shore of Xueshui, the two of them parted happily.
Ye Cang was the Demon Realm's War God, and a powerhouse of the Six Realms. The Demon Race had always respected the strong. Even if he wasn't the Demon Emperor, he had more influence than the Demon Emperor. Although it would be difficult to get the Demon Race to return to the Demon Realm, it wasn't impossible.
At the time, Gu Bai thought that he had been rejected by the people of the Immortal Realm. If he was used in exchange for the peace of the Immortal Realm, no one would stop this win-win situation. His master would definitely help him, but he overestimated his understanding of the people of the Immortal Realm.
After returning to the Immortal Realm from the shore of Xueshui, before he could tell Yin Li what had happened, he was captured by the Immortal Realm's Elders and brought to the Heavenly Palace's main hall for a joint trial.
"Yin Baigu, we usually don't control you out of respect for the Emperor, and let you do whatever you want in the Heavenly Palace. We didn't expect you to be so bold as to collude with the Demon Race. How impudent!"
The elders glared at him angrily, and the immortals around them began to discuss among themselves. Everyone's eyes and expressions were filled with disdain and rejection as they looked at him.
There was no need for him to explain. The demonic Qi that Ye Cang had left on him was proof of their relationship.
At the time, he didn't understand why these people looked at him as if he had done something wrong. He had never harmed the Immortal Realm, and he had never offended anyone. He had only fallen in love with someone. Why did they muster so many people to judge him?
Even Yin Li looked at him and clenched his fists. His emotionless face was even colder, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions that Gu Bai couldn't understand.
"Master, Baigu didn't collude with the Demon Race. Baigu has never done anything to harm the Immortal Realm. Baigu just likes Ye Cang's War God …"
He looked at Yin Li for help. Ever since he gained sentience, he had been by Yin Li's side for thousands of years, experiencing countless difficulties and dangers. Yin Li was his master, and the person closest to him.
His master cultivated the Emotionless Sword Dao and was cold and indifferent by nature. However, his master treated him differently. He saw him as a human and treated him as an equal. He believed that his master would definitely help him. Moreover, he didn't do anything wrong.
However, at that time, he didn't understand the complicated look in Yin Li's eyes. If he did, he definitely wouldn't have begged him like he did now.
He looked at Yin Li and tried to persuade him, "Master, haven't you always wanted the war between the immortals and the demons to end?
He is willing to make the demons retreat for me. Master can use Baigu to exchange for peace in the Immortal World … "
"Hmph!
How can you believe the words of the Devil Race?! "
Without waiting for Yin Li to speak, an elder reprimanded him. Everyone else echoed his words.
He didn't know how to explain it. The war between the Immortals and Demons had been going on for tens of thousands of years. No one would easily believe his words, much less believe that Ye Cang would order the Demon Race to retreat for him.
He could only repeat the same sentence over and over again. He shook his head helplessly. He really didn't understand why no one believed him. They weren't even willing to give it a try.
If Ye Cang lied to him, he would be the one to die. If Ye Cang didn't lie to him, then it would be a happy ending for everyone.
It wasn't until later that he understood this doubt. The Immortal World's hatred for the Demon World wasn't as simple as invading. It was just that one thought was on the surface, while the other thought was on the inside.
"Emperor, although the words of the Devil Race can't be trusted, this humble subject has a plan. The reason why the Demon World has been in a stalemate with us for so long is all because of Ye Cang's existence. If Ye Cang can't participate in the war, the Immortal World will definitely win. Since Ye Cang is spying on Immortal Baigu, why don't we give this task to Immortal Baigu …"
An Immortal Minister stepped forward and suggested. Everyone agreed once again. If they killed Ye Cang, the leader of the Devil Race, the remaining Devil Race wouldn't be a threat.
"Emperor, please prioritize the lives of the Immortal World. Send Immortal Baigu to bring back Ye Cang's head!"
The Immortal Ministers knelt and begged. Yin Baigu wasn't willing, so Yin Li could only forcefully control the operation.
Gu Bai looked at him and shook his head. His eyes were pleading. If Yin Li really wanted to control him, he couldn't resist. However, he didn't want Ye Cang to die.
"We can discuss this matter later. First, lock Immortal Baigu in the Immortal Prison …"
Facing his gaze, Yin Li was silent for a long time before he made a decision.
He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Yin Li with gratitude. He thought that Yin Li was helping him. After all, Yin Li was his master. He was very happy that Yin Li would side with him.
Therefore, when he was taken away, he didn't see how difficult it was to understand the emotions in Yin Li's eyes. He also didn't notice the hatred in Lu Yaoji's eyes …
It wasn't until the Great War of the Immortals and Devils at the Void Boundary that he realized that he was really stupid.
As a puppet, even if he had a very high cultivation level and a self-aware soul, he was still under the control of others.
As long as Yin Li had a thought, as long as they got the compass that was connected to his lifeline, anyone could control him.
He didn't know who was controlling him, but he knew that someone had stolen the compass from Yin Li.
His body's instincts made him unable to resist. He was controlled by someone and charged into the Devil Race's camp like a madman.
This provocative action angered the surrounding Devil Race. They all surrounded him and attacked him. However, they were immediately stopped by Ye Cang, who rushed over.
"All of you, get lost. If anyone dares to hurt him, don't blame me, Ye Cang, for being ruthless!"
Gu Bai would never forget that moment. The man in armor rode a blood-soaked Taotie demon beast towards him. The halberd in his hand reaped the heads of those who wanted to hurt him. He showed no mercy, even to the Devil Race.
"Divine Lord, are you crazy?
He's from the Immortal World! "
All the Devil Race looked at the man. They couldn't believe that their God of War would attack his own people for the sake of someone from the Immortal World.
However, reality proved that in the man's heart, Yin Baigu was more important than anything else. Even if he became the target of the Devil Race's disdain for this person, he would still protect him.
"Don't come over, don't come over …"
At that moment, Gu Bai saw Ye Cang walking towards him. He trembled and shook his head. Endless panic rose in his heart and tears welled up in his eyes.
He was a puppet. Puppets couldn't cry. However, at that moment, he clearly felt his eyes being blurred by tears.
No one knew how he felt when he couldn't control himself and stabbed his sword into the man's body.
"… …"
Looking at Ye Cang and the blood flowing out of his chest, he couldn't say a word. He only felt as if his heart was being cut into pieces by a knife. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Tears had already blurred his vision. He couldn't see Ye Cang's expression clearly. He didn't want to see it clearly. He was afraid. He was afraid that he would see something he didn't want to see in the other party's eyes.
In a daze, he felt someone kiss his forehead. Ye Cang's voice sounded in his ear. "Don't cry. This Lord doesn't like your tears … …"
At that moment, he really wanted to lean into the man's embrace.
However, he couldn't do that. The only thing he could do was watch in agony as his hand uncontrollably stabbed his opponent again and again.
Without the deterrence of the God of War, the Immortal World began to attack the Devil Race. The Devil Race suffered a crushing defeat.
On the battlefield filled with corpses and blood, he watched as Ye Cang was carried away by Taotie and the heavily injured Devil Race. An indescribable coldness spread from the bottom of his heart to his limbs and bones … …
"Why did you do this … …"
He turned to look at Yin Li, who was walking towards him. His voice trembled as he asked.
He didn't care who was controlling him. No matter who it was, they had to steal the compass from Yin Li to control him. However, Yin Li was the Immortal Emperor. Without his tacit consent, who would have the ability to do so?
Yin Li didn't say anything. It was a tacit agreement. He just stared at him with a complicated expression.
In the past, he might not have understood. However, at this moment, he understood. He understood that there were many more complicated things than what Yin Li had shown.
He wasn't stupid. It was just that his heart hadn't grown. In Yin Li's eyes, he saw many things. He also discovered many things.
That clear and bright heart suddenly changed at this moment … …
He didn't say anything. He also didn't ask any more questions. He threw down the long sword in his hand and flew towards the Ruo Shui Riverside.
It was the quietest place in the Immortal World. It was also the place he frequented the most. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would go there and stay for a while.
He leaned against a big tree by the riverside and listened to the sound of the flowing water. He stared blankly at his trembling hands. There were still traces of Ye Cang's blood on them.
"Baigu, do you know the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Technique?"
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. It was Feng Siming.
He didn't have many good friends in the Immortal World. Feng Siming was one of them. They had known each other since they were in the Immortal World. He had once saved Feng Siming. Feng Siming saw him as a good friend and benefactor. They had known each other for thousands of years.
"Do you want to break free from the puppet's control?
Perhaps it can help you. Our clan's Nirvana Technique can be reborn from the ashes. If it succeeds, you can break free from the puppet's body and obtain freedom. Perhaps you can even have your own flesh and blood … … "
Feng Siming placed a jade scroll in his hand.
"Why are you helping me?" He raised his head and stared at Feng Siming.
"You and I have known each other for thousands of years. I once owed you a favor … …"
Feng Siming lowered his eyelids and covered his eyes.
"Thank you … …"
That day, when he received the jade scroll, he also lowered his head. He didn't let Feng Siming, who had raised his head, see the violent emotions that suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Feng Siming did owe him a favor, but Yin Li was his monarch.
There was a saying in the Mortal World: If the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die.
Coincidentally, he had heard of it before.
There was also a record in the Heavenly Book: The Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Technique was used by a foreign race.
Coincidentally, he had peeked at it before … …
Holding the jade scroll tightly, a mocking smile appeared in his lonely eyes.
