Chapter 451: I Will Help You
Mu Yucheng shook his head and said, "No. I won’t go back with you, Shifu. I know you want to imprison me again and separate me from Xiang’er. I would rather die than lose her again. If you insist on bringing me back, then I can only be your enemy."
After his words fell, Lan Bing flew towards his hand. Mu Yucheng pointed his sword at his Shifu while his red eyes flashed coldly with murderous intent, and said, "Whoever wants to separate me and Xiang’er will die under my sword."
Xu Xiang was very surprised to hear what he said. She looked up at Mu Yucheng and asked in disbelief: "Yucheng, what do you think you are doing right now?"
Mu Yucheng glanced at her and didn’t answer, but just hugged her waist tighter. Finding that he was shaking all over, Xu Xiang looked at his red eyes shrouded in darkness and saw his fear there. She didn’t understand what he was afraid of, or why he became like this.
Looking at her confused look, Mu Zhihe thought for a while and said, "Miss Xu, after you disappeared, Yucheng was possessed by an inner demon. Now, he has lost his way. He is controlled by his inner demon, and the only way to save him is to defeat his inner demon, or kill him."
Hearing this, Xu Xiang turned to look at Mu Zhihe and asked warily: "Sect Master Mu, do you want to kill Yucheng?"
After a moment of silence, Mu Zhihe sighed and said, "Yucheng’s current cultivation level has reached the early stage of Demigod Realm. His current cultivation level is on par with mine. Moreover, his inner demon has taken control of his body, and he is much stronger than me. If he doesn’t let me do it, I won’t be able to kill him. Miss Xu, you do not need to worry. I am his Shifu, and I will not let anyone hurt him."
Listening to Mu Zhihe’s explanation, Xu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She held Mu Yucheng’s arm around her waist and said with determination: "I won’t let anyone hurt you. I will protect you, Yucheng."
Mu Yucheng heard her words and lowered his head to look at her. Feeling his gaze, Xu Xiang raised her eyes and gently touched his pale face.
