The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

"You guys are quite kind-hearted." Jiang Zhixia looked at Mo Yansu and the others, then looked back at Xie Zezhi, "Is this the reason why you stopped me just now and didn't let me go this way?"

"I didn't want to hide it from you." Xie Zezhi quickly explained: "I saw that you had just woken up, and I was afraid that you would be upset. Besides, the senior brother said that he would handle it, and I thought that I couldn't let you find out about it before he told me, so...

My internal injuries haven't healed yet. You won't be willing to ignore me and be angry with me just because of this matter, right? "

Mo Yanxu looked dumbfounded at the would-be brother-in-law who sold him in a blink of an eye: Where is the agreed united front?

"Ah... yes." He threw the "pot" back, "But this matter was discussed between Zhao Heng and I. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Jiang Zhixia looked at Xie Zezhi again.

Xie Zezhi said with a smile: "Because my senior brother told me that Ji Chen was very important, I was convinced by him. So the Tohelian family rescued him from the demon world. It was my fault for not telling you in time, why don't you bite me to vent your anger?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently, pretending to have a recurrence of internal injuries.

Jiang Zhixia patted his back and said nothing, but he knew that he had escaped a bullet.

Mo Shuxu was so angry: Why didn't I realize before that this person was so good at taking advantage of loopholes, pretending to be pitiful, and taking advantage of his junior sister's sympathy... Why didn't I think of using this trick!

"Liu'er, actually senior brother..."

He was interrupted by Ji Chen mid-sentence.

Ji Chen has never seen her again since that time in Taoyuan Township. At this moment, the person he missed so much stood in front of him, how could he not be excited. He wanted to step forward to say hello to her, but he forgot that the injury on his leg was not healed yet. As soon as he stood up, he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

The originally bandaged wound tore open again, and he felt a few waves of warmth gushing out of his body. He was helped by Mo Jianxu and Dongfang Chuliang in embarrassment, and sat back in the wheelchair.

"Zhixia..." He smiled and clenched his fists in his sleeves, "I...I listened to you and have been in the devil world..."

He was so nervous that he didn't know what to say to her.

"So why are you back?" Jiang Zhixia did not come forward, but still stood at the door of the small courtyard, "Falled out of favor? Ning Shu kicked you out and you had no place to go, so you asked senior brother to bring you back?"

"No." He denied hastily.

"Liu'er, the third child was injured this time because of his meritorious service." Mo Jianxu helped him.

That time he and Ling Xuanche went down to the Demon Realm to inquire about news. He learned from Helian Yuji that Ning Shu was suddenly injured and was assassinated by the protector around him.

After careful questioning, Mo Yanxu confirmed that the protector was Ji Chen.

Ji Chen originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ning Shu, but he underestimated her strength, and with the help of the elders around her, he was finally defeated and imprisoned in the Demon Realm Prison.

Ning Shu couldn't swallow this breath and ordered those in the demon world to torture him every day, but she was not allowed to kill him.

Mo Jinxu sneaked into the Demon Realm Prison with the help of Helian Yuji. The moment he saw Ji Chen, he couldn't believe his eyes. His arrogant and glorious third junior brother lay like a beggar in a puddle of dark red muddy water, his body exuding the stench of rotting wounds. The prison rats gnawed at his calves, and he didn't even have the strength to drive them away.

He called him softly, and it took him a while before he responded.

Ji Chen heard Mo Yanxu's voice and thought it was an illusion, but he still climbed to the cell door with difficulty. The moment he caught Mo Yanxu's hand, he knew it was not a lie.

The elder brother's hand was so warm that it made his eyes sore.

Mo Yanxu couldn't bear it and wanted to take him out to kill him.

But he shook his head and said that Ning Shu would not let him go easily and the risk of taking him out was too great. He told Mo Jiexu what he had learned about the other three families in the demon world and asked him to bring the news to Jiang Zhixia. These things should work for her.

"On the day Xie Zezhi was injured, this is what you wanted to tell me?" Jiang Zhixia asked.

"Yes." Mo Yanxu added: "But the message he sent is still very useful, otherwise we wouldn't be able to crack the Zisang family's magic weapon so easily."

Jiang Zhixia did not answer his words and asked again: "He is looked down upon so harshly by Ning Shu. How did you rescue him?"

"Helian Yuji sent him to the junction of gods and demons, and my senior brother and I brought him back to Lingqing." Xie Zezhi explained.

They originally wanted to rob the prison, but they heard from Helian Yuji that the demon palace was 70% destroyed by the dragon, the prison was also broken through by it, and many demons imprisoned escaped. Ning Shu was practicing in seclusion and had no time to care about the prison.

So Helian Yuji followed Xie Zezhi's instructions and quietly "stolen" Ji Chen out.

"Are you quite capable of teaching He Lian Yuji how to 'steal people'?" Jiang Zhixia glared at Xie Zezhi.

"What I teach is serious stealing!" Xie Zezhi defended himself: "What he said when he cooperated with you that day was also taught by me using the sound transmission technique. He is awesome... Zhi, Zhixia, I was wrong."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you."

She turned to look at Ji Chen who didn't dare to breathe, "You should rest."

After saying that, he turned around and left without leaving him an extra look.

Jiang Zhixia didn't feel much about Ji Chen's return, nor could she be called angry. Her senior brother and Xie Zezhi must have their reasons for doing this. She waited a moment for their explanation.

Ji Chen looked at her back, wishing he could put his eyes on her, and didn't look back until he couldn't see her anymore.

She allowed him to stay and spoke to him.

This made him extremely happy, and the injuries on his body felt lighter.

Then Mo Jiexu and Dongfang Chuliang helped him re-bandage his wounds and sent him back to his room to rest.

While he was asleep, Mo Jianxu rushed to the main hall and explained to Jiang Zhixia and the others what he had done. He had been waiting for Jiang Zhixia to wake up and wanted to tell them together.

The person most opposed to Ji Chen's return was Lin Yi, followed by Yu Yi and He Susu. They all felt that the further away Ji Chen was from Jiang Zhixia, the better. However, since he was injured from assassinating the Demon Lord, he can be allowed to recuperate in Lingqing and be sent out after he recovers.

"We cannot send him out, and we must protect him. We must not let him die."

"Why!?" Lin Yi was confused.

"Because Master once told me to protect my third junior brother no matter what..."

Mo Yanxu didn't understand at the time and thought it was Master Kaiyang who asked him to care for his junior brothers and sisters. Later, before he died, Master Kaiyang called him alone and warned him again.

He said that Ji Chen was already in disarray, so how could he protect him?

Master Kaiyang did not explain to him, but only said that Jiang Zhixia could survive only if Ji Chen was alive.

Mo Yanxu checked Jiang Zhixia's face as he spoke, "I didn't understand what Master meant until recently. Think about it carefully. When was the first time Xiaoliu's soul left the body?"

"It was the day after she was injured by the Immortal Killing Sword." Liu Mosi remembered it clearly. At that time, she almost thought that Jiang Zhixia would not make it through, and cried to death over it. Unexpectedly, she was fine again in the morning.

"The Immortal Killing Sword is not the fundamental reason why she left her soul. The fundamental reason is that Lao San went to push up the God Pillar and her mana was exhausted. That's why she was affected." Mo Menxu continued: "It's the same this time. I saw Lao San At three, he only had one breath left.

If we don't save him, not only Lao San but also Xiao Liu will die. If you don't believe me, you should believe in Master. Think about why Master didn't let us investigate Ji Chen's fault and let us keep him in Lingqing. "

"You mean I'm bound to him? I can't live if he dies. But whether I die or not has no impact on him." Jiang Zhixia originally hated being controlled by others, but even after becoming a god, she still had to get rid of the fate of being manipulated. Even life and death cannot be decided by oneself.

"This is my guess..." Mo Yanxu saw that she was in a bad mood and was a little panicked, "But after he rescued you, your soul returned to its place."

She pursed her lips and said nothing. She just nodded and accepted the statement, and then walked out of the hall.

She sat alone by the lake in the back mountain, staring at the calm lake, her mind going blank. She felt like she was trapped in a big net, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Soon, Xie Zezhi sat down next to her and said warmly: "I know what you hate most. But believe me, you won't be held back by him forever, and the matter will be resolved. But before that, we must ensure his safety. . Just think of it as worshiping a god in the backyard, and just don’t look at him if you feel upset."

"You are open-minded."

"The moment your soul left the body, I felt that nothing mattered." He said, "The most important thing is that you are alive. For this reason, I can let go of anything. So after Senior Brother told me that Ji Chen could save you, I agreed without even thinking about it.

I just want you to survive. "
