Chapter 1157 Treat It As a Mission

Wan Sha: "Mu Anxiao, if you don't speak, I'll assume you..."

"What's the point of saying so much nonsense?" Mu Anxiao looked up at the demon souls emerging from the white mist, then at Wan Sha's face, which showed no embarrassment, only a smile. "You just want my life, don't you?"

"If you hand over your life, I'll release those people."

Mu Anxiao: "..." She recalled how Gui Xiao had killed Gu Xiao in the first trial. She thought that no matter how much she said, Wan Sha would likely show no mercy.

Wan Sha: "Scared?"

Immediately, Mu Anxiao looked up at Wan Sha and sneered, "I'm not afraid. I never fear death." After speaking, her gaze flickered away.

Wan Sha: "Keep acting."

Mu Anxiao: "..." She ignored Wan Sha and looked at A Xia and Gu Xiao, who were being pushed out of the white mist, frowning.

Gu Xiao: "Mu Anxiao!"

Hearing Gu Xiao's words, Mu Anxiao suddenly remembered the scene in the first trial where Gu Xiao was killed by Gui Xiao.

So, she hurriedly shouted, "Shut up!"

Gu Xiao was startled and pursed his lips tightly.

A Xia: "Mu Anxiao..."

"You shut up too," Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze to A Xia's face.

A Xia: "..." She was also startled.

According to the progression of the first trial, Mu Anxiao was certain that Wan Sha and the demon souls already saw Gu Xiao and A Xia as traitors. If they helped her now, in front of Wan Sha and the demon souls, their fate would surely be death.

Therefore, to prevent such a thing from happening, she had to pretend to be heartless.

Only then could she save them.

"I have nothing to do with you," she coldly looked at them.

Gu Xiao was stunned.

A Xia said, "Mu Anxiao, what do you mean by that?"

Mu Anxiao: "It means I have no connection with you demon souls, and that includes you and that kid Gu Xiao. In my eyes, you are just my..." She glanced at Wan Sha, "just my mission."

Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Wan Sha chuckled and turned to look at Gu Xiao and A Xia. "See? I told you she's like this!"

At this, Mu Anxiao frowned, feeling that things weren't as she had thought?

Gu Xiao: "Mu Anxiao, do you really only see us as a mission to ascend to immortality and get rich?"

A Xia: "Mu Anxiao, is it true, as Wan Sha said, that you are using us?"

Listening to Gu Xiao and A Xia's questions, Mu Anxiao suddenly realized that they weren't being held by the demon souls, and Wan Sha harbored no malice towards them. On the contrary, their attitude towards them was exceptionally good.

Therefore, reflecting on her own words, she suddenly realized... she had fallen into a trap.

"..."

Gu Xiao: "Why aren't you talking now?"

Mu Anxiao looked at Gu Xiao. She thought that if she admitted her words weren't sincere, Gu Xiao and A Xia would feel better. However, that would surely enrage Wan Sha.

Wan Sha would definitely change her attitude towards them, and their lives would once again be threatened because of her.

At present, not admitting it was perhaps the most definite choice.

Then, she said, "Yes, you are my mission, and I only regard you as my mission."

Upon hearing Mu Anxiao's heartless words, Wan Sha deliberately gave a signal to the demon souls behind her who were about to kill Gu Xiao and A Xia.

The demon souls saw this and clenched their free hands, which were about to cast spells.

Wan Sha: "Just as I said, you are selfish."

Gu Xiao and A Xia exchanged glances, then both looked at Mu Anxiao with despair.

Mu Anxiao, fearing she might accidentally speak the truth, deliberately averted her gaze.

Gu Xiao: "Mu Anxiao, I was planning to cooperate with you. Since that's the case," he said, "I am your enemy now."

A Xia: "Gu Xiao and I endured all the harm and believed in you, but you really are as Wan Sha said. You've gone too far."

Wan Sha: "Come back."

"Alright, we'll come back," A Xia agreed readily.

Gu Xiao: "..." He followed A Xia.

Then, Gui Xiao emerged from the white mist. The next second, as he turned and dispersed the mist, the people bound by ropes gradually appeared in Mu Anxiao's sight.

Gui Xiao: "I said, if I saw you again, I wouldn't let you go." He stepped forward.

However, Mu Anxiao hadn't expected Gui Xiao to appear. This situation made her worried about the situation on Feng Qi Shi's end.

"..."

Gui Xiao arrived in front of Mu Anxiao and met her eyes intently. "What, scared?"

Mu Anxiao: "You say I'm afraid of you?"

"Do you dare say you're not afraid of me?"

Mu Anxiao let out a cold snort.

Gui Xiao: "Are you showing disdain towards me?"

"I'm just curious why you're here?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Mu Anxiao glanced at Wan Sha and said, "Wan Sha is clearly more powerful than you. Logically, shouldn't you be handling the other half of the people? Why are you here interfering?"

Gui Xiao: "We've already abandoned that side."

"Huh?"

"What 'huh'? To tell you the truth, I expected you and Feng Qi Shi to act separately. Now," Gui Xiao smiled, "Feng Qi Shi is probably dead, and the other half of the people are also dead."

Mu Anxiao: "..." Her eyes widened.

Gui Xiao reached out and placed his hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder. "Others save people, but you save people by killing. Now," he turned to look at the civilians whose eyes were covered with black cloth, smiling, "their lives are in your hands."

"..." Mu Anxiao finally realized that she had indeed underestimated their abilities.

At this moment, she began to worry about the safety of Feng Qi Shi and the others.

Wan Sha: "Why waste so many words with her?" Saying this, she also walked in front of Mu Anxiao. "There are three hundred people here. I don't ask for much. Just cripple your spiritual energy and magic in front of us, and then," she conjured a dagger with her palm, "use this dagger to cut your flesh piece by piece. Finally, bite off your tongue and commit suicide. This way, they can all live."

Mu Anxiao knew that Wan Sha wouldn't let her off easily, and she also understood that Wan Sha hated her to the bone. But she never expected Wan Sha to ask her to end her own life!

Obviously, she couldn't do that.

"..." She looked at Wan Sha.

Wan Sha: "You dare not?"

"I dare not."

"Even if you dare not, you must do it," Wan Sha said, then forcefully shoved the dagger into Mu Anxiao's hand. "I'll start counting."

Mu Anxiao: "..." Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Wan Sha: "Scared."

Mu Anxiao grinned and gave Wan Sha a dry laugh. "You saw through me."

Gui Xiao: "Are you really scared?" He said, then he started laughing.

Wan Sha reached out and placed her hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder. "Scared? Why don't you think about whether Wan Xia was scared back then?"

Mu Anxiao: "..."

Then, Wan Sha shouted Mu Anxiao's name and sternly said, "Your death is not as painful as Wan Xia's death after enduring mental torment!"
