In the prison cell, the girl’s voice was icy, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Even though he was her closest elder brother, at this moment, she seemed to be facing a stranger.

Such a strange and stiff attitude left Li Muyang momentarily stunned.

But after several silent seconds passed, Li Muyang slowly sighed.

“You are scared of me… right?”

Looking at the girl curled up in the corner of the cell, Li Muyang slowly shook his head and said, “I know your inheritance is greatly entangled, enough to drive people mad.”

“To take your inheritance, even the closest kin would turn against each other.”

“The inheritance of the Corpse Immortal… Although it cannot lead to becoming an immortal, it offers longevity.”

“After the Dharma-Ending Age, the mere words ‘longevity’ are enough to drive all cultivators insane.”

“Are you afraid of me because you think I’m after your inheritance, or because you fear I’ve come to test you on behalf of the sect?”

Looking at the girl curled up in the shadows of the cell, Li Muyang smiled and said, “You underestimate your brother.”

“Your Corpse Immortal inheritance may be impressive, but the inheritance and power I carry are no weaker than yours.”

“Even so, in the face of what I possess, the so-called Corpse Immortal is but a minor path! I disdain your legacy!”

“You little girl, you’re too wary.”

Li Muyang said, smiling wistfully.

However, even after he had finished speaking, the girl huddled in the cell remained unmoved.

In the shadows, she quietly watched her older brother outside the cell, murmuring softly.

“…Then why have you come?”

At such a juncture, the fact that Li Muyang not only did not dissociate from her but went to the lengths of entering the black prison to see her… Such behavior was indeed bizarre.

From anyone else’s perspective, it was no different from seeking death.

After all, with the Corpse Immortal’s inheritance in the hands of the Refining Demon Sect, the Refining Demon Sect Leader would certainly not let it go.

And if Li Yuechan, the heir to the Corpse Immortal, were to be killed, what fate would await Li Muyang, her brother known for his deep sibling affection…?

Li Yuechan’s gaze was cold.

Yet Li Muyang only smiled calmly, his mood peaceful.

From the moment he had made up his mind, his heart harbored no more shadows, no more hesitations.

Standing in this dark and fearsome black prison, facing the girl in the shadows, he boldly uttered a terrifying declaration.

“I have come to break you out of prison, I have come to save you.”

There were no exciting proclamations, no emotionally charged shouts.

Li Muyang simply stated these words in a casual manner.

The girl huddled in the shadows suddenly froze, her pupils contracting sharply.

The girl, who had been composed, now wore a look of shock, as if she doubted what she had heard.

And Li Muyang, continuing his narrative.

“My emerald knife mantis that you have seen before, possesses power comparable to that of the Purple Mansion realm.”

“Yet that mantis is merely my weakest trump card.”

“The ancient Immortal Sword of Demon Sword City is now in my hands.”

“And I can summon an entity comparable to the Heavenly Constancy realm to assist me.”

“Currently, the Refining Demon Sect is lax in its defenses, and the Refining Demon Sect Leader is severely injured.”

“Under such circumstances, if I give it my all, I am capable of rescuing you.”

“However, once I save you, we siblings will have to wander the lands, forever leaving the Refining Demon Sect behind.”

Li Muyang, reaching this point in his speech, smiled, “Actually, I’ve been tired of this decrepit sect for a long time. It’s a good time to go out and explore.”

Li Muyang said, extending his right hand toward the girl in the cell.

In this moment, Li Muyang made no attempt to hide his power and laid all his cards on the table.

The surprise in the eyes of the girl curled in the shadow deepened even further.

She had not expected that the ancient Immortal Sword from Demon Sword City would end up in her brother’s hands!

Moreover, my brother was actually able to summon a cultivator of the Celestial Eternity realm to aid in the battle?

Yet in this world at the time, there were only two cultivators at the Celestial Eternity realm. Where did my brother find such a formidable being from the Celestial Eternity realm?

Li Yuechan, lurking in the shadows, had a somewhat moved look in her eyes.

She almost felt like standing up.

But then the voice of her teacher suddenly rang in her ears.

“…Don’t believe his nonsense!”

“This youngster, although powerful and bearing a mysterious inheritance, claims he disdains the inheritance of the Corpse Immortal—don’t believe his talk!”

“And with his trump cards, escaping from the Refinement Demon Sect is as hard as ascending to heaven!”

“Yu Chan, whether you trust him or not, don’t listen to him!”

“Tell him to roll! Tell him to leave!”

“The method I taught you might have dire consequences, but at least it will ensure your safe retreat.”

“If you trust in this brother of yours now and follow him, you will surely die a violent death!”

“He can’t even save himself, and yet he comes to rescue you? He’s definitely after your inheritance!”

“Even if he’s not after your inheritance, he can’t save you. Instead, he will cause his own death!”

“Send him away!”

The teacher’s voice urgently erupted, instantly halting Li Yuechan’s movement.

She gazed at the brother before her, stunned for a good while.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, “I won’t go with you! Leave on your own!”

“What about your inheritance being mysterious and powerful—that you would not covet mine… It’s all lies!”

“I know very well, you’ve been deceiving me from the beginning!”

The formerly hesitant Li Yuechan, as she spoke, became increasingly agitated.

She suddenly stood up, glared at the man in front of her, and said through clenched teeth,

“You’re not my brother at all! From the first day I saw you, I sensed it!”

“You’re not Li Muyang, not my brother, you’re an aberration wearing my brother’s skin.”

“You killed him and then impersonated him, living and acting in his stead!”

“I should have exposed you a long time ago!”

“But I was worried that my second uncle and second aunt couldn’t accept the truth, so I finally convinced myself that if you were willing to keep up the act, then I would play along with you! We would both pretend!”

“But now you want to impersonate my brother to get close to me, to seize my inheritance… Do you really think I am blind and lack any discernment?”

“You despicable murderer! You’ve killed my brother, and now you seek to harm me!”

“I won’t go with you! Leave! Get as far away as possible!”

The girl in the prison cell was emotionally charged, screaming furiously at Li Muyang outside the cell.

Listening to her words, Li Muyang suddenly became rigid in place.

He was utterly stupefied.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

He had never expected that from the very beginning, his identity as a transmigrator had been detected!

Nor had he expected that Yu Chan would choose such a critical moment to confront him.

Was this girl really so guarded against him?

Watching the hysterical girl in the cell, who seemed to be in pain and regret, Li Muyang was silent for a long while.

At this moment, it seemed he really should leave.

With his identity exposed, it appeared there was no reason for him to stay.

It turned out that everything was false.

Everyone was tacitly playing roles.

But then…

Looking at the girl in the cell, Li Muyang slowly raised his right hand and said, “I told you, I’m here to save you.”

As his words fell, a tremendous green light burst forth from beneath the girl’s feet
