As if to verify the cruelty of Shu Ci's words.

The crimson cherry tree behind Balian smelled the smell of blood on his body, and its branches and leaves gradually unfurled peacefully.

Two vines burst out of the ground, and at a speed that ordinary people could not react, they tightly wrapped around Bai Lian's wrists like poisonous snakes.

A force of distance came from him, and his body was pulled hard.

His back was forced to press tightly against the hot tree trunk.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful and terrifying blazing force came from behind, pouring into Bai Lian's body continuously.

He only felt the blazing power burning into his bone marrow, and the scorching heat wave made his heart palpitate unbearably. The burning sensation was like a poisonous snake eating flesh, and it hurt his heart.

Balian gritted his teeth to prevent himself from moaning in pain.

She actually wants to take her own life?!

The despair that spread from the bottom of his heart surged towards him like a tidal wave.

Balian's chapped lips suddenly opened and spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.

He looked down at the vomited blood under his feet, mixed with the fragments of internal organs, which were burning with tiny sparks.

The flame power inside the crimson cherry tree actually burned all the internal organs in his body through his body.

The residual blood remaining on the inner wall of the throat was hot, and there was a burning, cracking pain that seemed to be corroded.

Bailian lowered his head and coughed twice. He raised his gaze but remained calm. There was no anger in it that should have been due to betrayal.

"Without my help, even if you get what you want, you won't be able to leave this Yinxu Valley."

Shu Ci showed contempt: "You think too highly of yourself."

The mountain wind was blowing, and I could see the brilliance of Shu Ci flowing around him, and his plain clothes were rising fiercely.

The slightly cracked red mark at the corner of Shu Ci's eyes was like a tear of blood. When he raised his hand, he carried a terrifying and majestic mountain and river force.

Wherever Shu Ci looked, everything turned into an unknown tranquility.

This kind of tranquility stops the time and space of this world.

Shu Ci's face was frozen in this night space, showing a thrilling beauty shrouded in the shadow of the terror of death.

In this world, everything seems to have stopped.

Only nine fox tails, as black as mist, rose up from behind her in a strange and swaggering manner.

Endless black demonic energy spread out from her body, exuding a weird fragrance like bottomless darkness.

The burning flames of the crimson-burning cherry tree seemed to dim under the pure dark demonic aura.

The pure black demonic energy kept pulling at her hair and robe.

The color of the nine huge fairy tails is like the night that only the world of the Great Demon can see.

It symbolizes the indescribable endless darkness and the unexplored power of the abyss.

Shu Ci said that the crimson cherry tree in the barrier has powerful soul-absorbing power and can absorb people's souls.

But in Balian's opinion, it was far less scary and frightening than the nine black fairy tails behind her. Just one look at them made her feel like she was about to have her heart and soul taken away.

He had never seen that fox demon with a jet black tail.

In the dark night-like Fairy Tail, he seemed to see countless fights, deaths, rebirths, order and rules.

At the moment when the nine black fairy tails appeared, all the spiritual nodes in Balian's body and even the power of dark blood were twisting and twitching uncontrollably.

It was as if this body could not bear the one-sided consciousness that inadvertently flowed out from among the nine Fairy Tails.

This is the Demon River... Shu Ci?

Ji Yu beside him had collapsed to the ground, holding his head in pain with both hands.

If it weren't for the karma lingering between his eyebrows, he would have gone crazy and uncontrollably at that moment when Kyuubi appeared.

The black tail danced strangely, and the dark evil energy gathered and dispersed around her.

Shu Ci's extremely charming eyes shone with a rippled blue evil light, and there seemed to be a heavy fog in the vertical pupils.

"Right now, do you think we can't leave here alone?"

Seeing Shu Ci's body emitting an aura that could swallow the sky and the moon, Bai Lian laughed at himself and said: "It turns out that you have the ability to leave the valley from the beginning."

As Shu Ci's nine tails swayed behind him, a pale golden light shone out of his hair like the dark night.

The flowing light draws lines, forming lines from the tail.

The nine tails are spread out to the extreme, each tail is connected in turn, and the golden light between the tails draws a huge golden waning moon, which is extremely demonic and crazy.

The lines of the waning moon between the nine tails are complete, and the deep clouds in the sky are reunited.

A cold current swept from the sky to the world, and the cool wind blew scattered snowflakes down from the sky. The night sky turned into a pure white color at some point.

The snowflakes are soft and icy, falling softly.

It formed a sharp contrast with the darkness of corpses that flooded from all sides.

Shuci stood calmly, with the night snow covering his body, and the hem of his clothes swayed softly.

Under Balian's extremely intense gaze, she withdrew her gaze calmly and coolly.

Under the nine dark fairy tails, Shu Ci's figure gradually moved away and disappeared into the darkness.

Balian raised his head and looked at the snow-white color between the sky and the earth, which seemed to be the loss of blood in his body.

The bright red color in his pupils is also fading into normal dark pupils.

He bowed his head deeply, his eyes lifeless.

After Shu Ci left, the powerful influence no longer oppressed Ji Yu.

Ji Yu was lying on the ground, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his face was as pale as a water ghost.

At this moment, he actually looked even more depressed than Balian.

Ji Yu sat on the ground in a daze for a long time. He raised his head and stared blankly at the burning tree above his head. His eyelashes were trembling violently, obviously trying to calm down his emotions.

However, all this seemed to be in vain. A gust of night wind blew by, seeming to stir up the desolation in his heart.

Ji Yu's shoulders trembled, and tears poured out like a flood bursting from a dam. In the end, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He folded his arms, squatted on the ground and cried silently.

Bai Lian was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he didn't want to pay attention to Ji Yu at first.

Unexpectedly, this dear friend actually dropped the golden bean.

He looked like he was betrayed, slapped hard, and then tied up here to be roasted by a burning tree. It was actually him.

Balian closed his eyes and decided to pretend that he didn't hear anything.

But Ji Yu cried, burying her cheek in her arms and sobbing softly.

Balian opened his eyelids, his eyes looking a bit strange.

This dear man cried like a ghost who died in vain.

He finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ji, are you okay?"

Ji Yu lifted his face, whose eyes were swollen from crying, from his arms.

He was sobbing, his nose was red, he looked at Balian with tearful eyes, and said, "I'm just a little sad."

Balian frowned secretly.

How can a grown man cry like a girl crying like pear blossoms are raining down on her?

Seeing him looking abandoned, Balian couldn't help but said:

"I remember that when you were in the hinterland of death, you were ready to go through fire and water for Shu Ci and sacrifice yourself heroically?

Now that she has followed your wishes, why are you still crying?"

"What do you know!" Ji Yu angrily wiped the tears on his face and twisted his body to the side, as if he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Balian chuckled lightly, but his eyes gradually became sharper.

"In the final analysis, it is human nature that is at fault. If you take the initiative to sacrifice your life for her, you can get psychological satisfaction.

You feel that what you have given is enough to touch yourself and the people you want to protect.

You can accept willing sacrifices for her, but you cannot accept her betrayal of you.

Because this will make your initial desire to sacrifice everything to protect her seem very stupid and ridiculous.

It seems that she doesn't need anything at all for everything I have put in my life, so your death is as light as a feather, which makes it even more cheap and ridiculous."

"Shut up!" Ji Yu turned around, gave Bailian a hard look, and said, "No matter what I do, I'm still better than you.

To me, she is just a use, but to you, it is a real betrayal, right?"

Bai Lian's expression was stagnant, and he thought about the ardent love that Shu Ci expressed for him along the way, like the entangled inner demons that could not be dissipated.

He unconsciously turned his head and glanced at his cuffs, where she had curled up.
