"Did that person named Cui Xinyun also come in?"

A sudden voice echoed.

Mo Lin turned his head and finally noticed that Fake Gu Qi was now hanging on the wall, craning his neck to listen to Mo Lin narrate his story.

Mo Lin initially wanted to drive Fake Gu Qi away, but he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

Nor any intention to attack him.

"I don't know if Cui Xinyun has come in, but I encountered a fake Cui Xinyun who was just like Cui Xinyun." Mo Lin slowly said to Fake Gu Qi.

"Then she has come in."

Fake Gu Qi explained to Mo Lin: "Only after stepping into this area can the darkness coalesce into clones."

"I want to know, what happened to the original owner of your body?" Mo Lin asked Fake Gu Qi.

"Dead."

"Died a long time ago." Fake Gu Qi said straightforwardly to Mo Lin.

"Only those who possess Dao Treasures like you can survive here. Those without the protection of Dao Treasures will die."

"What about him?" Mo Lin pointed to the blue-clothed Mo Lin and asked Fake Gu Qi.

"Why is he able to be here?"

Before Fake Gu Qi could speak, the blue-clothed Mo Lin pulled out a Copper Coins long sword and waved it, "I also have a Dao Treasure."

At this moment, it's certain that only those with Dao Treasures can survive here.

"Can you tell me what this place is?" Mo Lin asked Fake Gu Qi.

"I don't know. I've been here since I was born, and I don't know what this place is either."

Fake Gu Qi craned his neck and slowly said.

"Can you lead me out?" Mo Lin asked Fake Gu Qi.

Fake Gu Qi froze for a moment, then seemed to have made some sort of decision and nodded, "Yes, I can take you out."

Before Mo Lin could respond, Fake Gu Qi continued, "I have a request; you need to be my friend."

Fake Gu Qi simply wanted to make friends, without any special reasons.

"Sure." Mo Lin nodded and agreed readily.

For Mo Lin, befriending Fake Gu Qi had no drawbacks.

"Really? Wow, that's great."

Fake Gu Qi stood on the wall and smiled.

"Seven days... I'll take you out in seven days."

"Thank you." Mo Lin thanked Fake Gu Qi.

"That rice... is edible." Fake Gu Qi pointed to the rice he had previously cooked and said to Mo Lin.

"Care to join me for a taste?" Mo Lin waved at Fake Gu Qi and said.

So Fake Gu Qi came down and ate with Mo Lin.

The blue-clothed Mo Lin also ate with them.

"Can you tell me about your other friends?" Fake Gu Qi was very curious about Mo Lin's stories.

So, Mo Lin told him about Li Yuemei's story.

And about Gan Jianhua.

Then Mo Lin recounted some of his experiences in the Underworld.

Fake Gu Qi listened with great interest, and after learning that several of Mo Lin's friends had died, showed a look of regret.

Suddenly... Fake Gu Qi stood up slowly, his expression serious as he said to Mo Lin, "It's time to go."

Fake Gu Qi pointed eastward and said to Mo Lin, "They're coming."

Looking in the direction pointed by Fake Gu Qi.

Cui Xinyun had arrived.

A few dark shadows followed behind Cui Xinyun.

"They will absorb the Dao Qi from Dao Treasures. Without the protection of Dao Treasures, you will die." Fake Gu Qi warned Mo Lin seriously.

"You seem different from them." Mo Lin spoke earnestly.

Compared to the fake Cui Xinyun outside, Fake Gu Qi had more humanity.

"They are all controlled. I'm not controlled."

As for the reason for leaving here, it's quite simple.

The Dao Qi of this temple is about to be depleted.

They can only move to another place.

Mo Lin nodded and then quickly followed Fake Gu Qi to leave.

The blue-clothed Mo Lin also followed Mo Lin.

The surroundings were dark, and Fake Gu Qi moved quickly, leading the way at the forefront.

In the darkness, a gigantic hand reached out toward Fake Gu Qi.

Fake Gu Qi didn't have time to evade and was tightly grabbed by the gigantic hand.

Fake Gu Qi tried to struggle and escape the grip, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

The black hand attempted to take Fake Gu Qi away.

At this moment, Mo Lin intervened.

Mo Lin wielded the Peach Wood Sword and slashed at the black hand.

He directly sliced open the black hand and then fled with Fake Gu Qi.

Fake Gu Qi followed behind Mo Lin, looking at him blankly, then smiled.

"Thank you." Fake Gu Qi thanked Mo Lin.

If Mo Lin hadn't helped, he might have been taken away.

"Friends don't need to be polite."

Mo Lin's words warmed Fake Gu Qi's heart.

The group ran eastward until they reached the foot of a mountain. They found a cave to hide in.

Mo Lin placed the Copper Coins Dao Treasure at the cave entrance to fend off the encroaching darkness outside.

Mo Lin had no way to deal with the outside darkness.

He could only rely on the few Dao Treasures he had in hand.

"How can we kill the dark ones outside?" Mo Lin asked Fake Gu Qi.

"Dao Light... or sunlight..."

Fake Gu Qi candidly said to Mo Lin, "We dark beings die when exposed to sunlight."

As they spoke, a head suddenly peered out from the cave entrance.

A skull veiled in black fluid.

"So you hid here?"

The skeletal arm slowly extended outward, blocked by the light emitted from the Copper Coins Dao Treasure.

The Dao Light from the Copper Coins Dao Treasure visibly diminished in speed.

"Crack... crack..."

A sound of fracture reverberated, the Copper Coins Dao Treasure manifested visible cracks that couldn't hold out for long before shattering.

As the Dao Treasure Jade Pendant was on the brink of breaking, Fake Gu Qi charged out.

Then engaged in combat with the skeletal figure.

The skeletal arm sliced through Fake Gu Qi's body.

The next moment, Fake Gu Qi's body split in two from the middle, then quickly healed.

Fake Gu Qi bought time for Mo Lin, who seized the opportunity to escape.

Now, Mo Lin still had a Peach Wood Sword to fend off the darkness.

Fake Gu Qi led Mo Lin to the outer edge of the dark veil.

"I will see you out."

Upon those words, Fake Gu Qi pushed through the darkness.

Roughly opening an entrance the size of a dog-hole.

"Next time, be careful and don't come to places like this again."

Mo Lin seized the chance to rush out of the entrance, simultaneously, the blue-clothed Mo Lin came out as well.

Fake Gu Qi penetrated the night, using his body to widen an opening.

This opening allowed Mo Lin to exit, meanwhile, the blue-clothed Mo Lin also exited.

"Stop standing around, hurry and leave." Fake Gu Qi waved to Mo Lin, gesturing for him to leave.

Mo Lin didn't rush to leave.

After exiting the darkness, Fake Gu Qi's body quickly melted, akin to ice cream.

His skin instantly transformed into a blob of black liquid.

This was the price for sending Mo Lin out of the darkness.
