Lu Yi first flailed like a mad dog, then clawed and bit like a cat, and finally wrapped around Ouyang Jin like a snake. The fighting posture was as ugly as it could get.
In the end, Ouyang Jin was beaten so badly that he could only beg for rcy: "Stop, stop, I’m just doing a paid job, keeping my reputation; isn’t that what you value?"
Lu Yi was furious: "I treated you as a life-and-death brother. We even slept in the sa tent, spent countless wonderful monts there, and you held a very important position in my heart. But now you’ve changed feelings just like that. Do you deserve the affection I’ve poured into you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt awkward, secretly wondering what kind of relationship these two truly had.
Finally, under everyone’s persuasion, Lu Yi spared Ouyang Jin, who also looked apologetic.
Gu Fan diated: "Alright, Ouyang Jin was forced by circumstances. Now that everything is resolved, let’s not bring it up again. We’re still friends."
"Thank you, Gu Fan, for pulling out to get beaten up, then speaking up for so everyone forgives . You’re indeed a good person," Ouyang Jin sighed helplessly, having no choice but to accept the beating for his wrongdoing.
At this mont, Gu Xiaojin woke up, utterly bewildered, recalling she suddenly lost consciousness, seemingly ambushed by soone.
"This can’t be right. With my sensing ability, how could I be ambushed?" Gu Xiaojin wondered since only those extrely close to her could manage an ambush. Who could it be? Gu Fan glanced around but only saw everyone looking guilty.
Gu Xiaojin sensed that the group was hiding sothing from her and pursued, asking what happened just now, and who else was knocked out besides her.
Everyone pointed to Ouyang Jin, making him the scapegoat, seeing as he was previously a traitor.
"What!" Ouyang Jin felt wronged, but upon seeing Lu Yi’s warning look, understood he had to take the fall to earn everyone’s forgiveness.
So, Ouyang Jin answered with a bitter face: "Yes, it was !"
"Uncle Ouyang Jin, how could it be you? Why did you ambush ?" Gu Xiaojin was still skeptical.
Eventually, with everyone’s explanations, Gu Xiaojin learned that Ouyang Jin was undercover, raising the question of why he chose to ambush her specifically.
At this, everyone struggled to concoct a lie, so it fell on Ouyang Jin to cover it up.
Poor Ouyang Jin racked his brains, desperately seeking excuses.
Gu Xiaojin pressed on: "Well, why did you knock out, Uncle Ouyang Jin?"
"Um... because you’re Gu Fan’s daughter, and capturing you as a hostage would make for better negotiations. I didn’t expect you to pass out so easily; you should really work out more," said Ouyang Jin, as if fainting was Gu Xiaojin’s fault.
Though this reason seed plausible, Gu Xiaojin still felt sothing was off.
Gu Ling noticed the situation worsening and quickly changed the topic, revealing the true motive of the Great Demon King.
Upon learning that the Great Demon King was still her respectable father, Gu Xiaojin couldn’t have been happier, her eyes filled with pride. At that mont, she wanted nothing more than to rush over with many words for the Great Demon King.
However, the father-daughter reconciliation seed temporarily impossible due to the light column erupting from the volcano, indicating to everyone that ti was running out.
The Great Demon King took a deep breath, steadied himself, and resolutely faced the volcano, calmly saying, "I’ll deal with the ss I’ve created. You all hurry and leave."
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts sank, feeling like the Great Demon King was ready to sacrifice heroically.
"But!" Gu Xiaojin wanted to say sothing, wanting to get closer, but Gu Fan held her back firmly.
"Let’s go. He won’t die. I know myself best. He now needs to give it his all without any worries, and you need to go sowhere safe," Gu Fan said calmly, though his eyes showed determination.
With no other choice, facing the demands from both fathers, Gu Xiaojin obediently chose to leave with everyone.
The Great Demon King snorted coldly, releasing an astounding amount of energy, its montum spreading like mountains shaking and seas overturning, absolutely stunning.
Only then did everyone realize this was the Great Demon King’s true strength. Even all of them combined might not match him; it’s no wonder the Great Demon King purposely set up soone who could defeat him.
"Alright, I have to go. You all leave first, until we et again." With that, the Great Demon King turned, facing away from Gu Xiaojin, showing no signs of hesitation. Then, he soared into the air straight towards the volcano.
Everyone quickly evacuated Devil Island, worried that too many people would affect the airplane’s speed. So, Gu Fan, Gu Xiaojin, Qian Feng, and others who could fly relied on their own abilities to escape.
During her flight, Gu Xiaojin couldn’t help but glance back at the resolute figure of the Great Demon King charging towards the volcano. She wanted to shout, but her voice was drowned by the howling wind.
"Don’t look back. You need to trust him, and trust too." Gu Fan grabbed Gu Xiaojin’s arm, quickly rushing forward.
A few planes carrying everyone rapidly ascended, then fled the scene.
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed as Devil Island experienced a trendous blast, the rumble resounding across heaven and earth. A massive mushroom cloud rose, the shockwave spreading with terrifying force.
The sea churned into towering waves under the shockwave’s impact, so birds unable to escape, shattered instantly.
Qian Feng and Gu Xiaojin imdiately deployed a defensive shield to withstand the shockwave, ensuring everyone on the planes could evacuate safely.
Unfortunately, the shockwave was too strong. After a brief resistance, the shield collapsed, and the shockwave sent Qian Feng, Gu Xiaojin, and Gu Fan flying, tumbling in the sky who knows how many tis.
Yet, the shield bought the planes so ti to fly farther and suffer less impact, ultimately finding stability despite severe turbulence.
A crucial reason for this was everyone’s united effort, desperately covering Lu Yi’s mouth, preventing that doomsayer from speaking at the critical mont.
After flying a distance away, Gu Xiaojin couldn’t resist looking back at the still-rising mushroom cloud from Devil Island, feeling its terrifying power and truly worrying.
Gu Fan, standing beside her, gazed at Devil Island, recalling the experiences they’d been through, feeling exhausted. His eyes showed so lancholy as he slightly sighed: "Alright, everything is over. It’s ti I return."
