"How unfortunate, you now have your memories back but she knows nothing. However, Qianbei Ye, once she regains all her memories, she would leave you because she'll never forgive you for everything you've done. Hahahaha!"

Qianbei Ye tightened his grip around Gu Ruoyun and his peerless face was now an extremely terrifying sight to behold. He gently pursed his bloodred lips, his thoughts unreadable.

"Alright, that's enough chit-chat for today. Lingxiao will die right here, right now. I won't let you have him!"

Boom!

Lingxiao's already pale face grew even paler under the intense power. Now, the formation was like a large mountain which crushed his body and suffocated him. There was clearly no fire on his body yet his entire being felt as if he was engulfed in flames.

Lingxiao believes that if this continues on, his vital organs would be turned to ash.

"You want to kill Lingxiao?" Gu Ruoyun sneered, "Not if I can do something about it!"

She no longer allowed herself to be distracted and hurriedly used the formation she had constructed to fight back. However, even though the opposition was now heavily wounded because of Zixie, a formation built by a Martial Saint was not at a level where she could hold her own.

As such, this was why she had said that she was not even fifty percent certain about her success.

"Yun'er."

Qianbei Ye turned towards Gu Ruoyun. When his blood-red eyes gazed upon the woman next to him, all traces of murderous intent vanished and was replaced by an endless warmth.

"Do you trust me?"

Gu Ruoyun nodded, "I trust you."

No matter what anyone says, I will always trust Qianbei Ye.

I believe that this man would never ever harm me.

"Since you trust me, you must do as I say." Qianbei Ye spoke through gritted teeth, "Let go of all your mental strength, stop trying to control this formation."

Gu Ruoyun was stunned.

Relinquish control over this formation?

Doesn't this mean that I would give up on Lingxiao's and my own life?

Because that man is not here and has only been projecting his voice through the formation, his resistance is through this formation as well. If I stopped resisting, everyone is going to die inside the formation.

Why would Qianbei Ye ask me to do such a thing?

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun smiled gently.

She trusts Qianbei Ye, this man who loved her more than life itself. He would never do anything to harm her.

Since he has asked me to relinquish control over the formation, I will do exactly as he says.

At that moment, Gu Ruoyun withdrew all of her strength and lost her control. The rocks placed on the floor instantly became gloomy and useless.

"Qianbei Ye!"

Just as Gu Ruoyun grasped what Qianbei Ye was about to do, an angered howl sounded through the void, "You vile, treacherous thing!"

"The feeling is mutual."

Qianbei Ye smiled and that smile was different from the rest. It hinted at someone who was about to get his way.

"How does it feel to be attacked by your own power?"

"You..."

The voice grew increasingly angry. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Qianbei Ye, just you wait until I leave this place. I will give you a taste of a fate worse than death!"

The voice then grew softer and softer before fading away altogether.

"Alright," Qianbei Ye turned towards Gu Ruoyun, "You can start smashing the formation. That guy can't control it anymore."
