Everyone beneath the bell tower saw it: a demon had saved Lu Huan. Astonishment spread across their faces.
The demon was no larger than a human. His clothes were intact, with only his arms exposed, revealing strange markings and powerful muscles.
Yet beneath that seemingly ordinary appearance lurked a terrifying amount of power.
"Wh-what's going on?!"
Fear flashed across Han Ji's face. He had thought the blood-red pillar of light came from the mysterious Blood-robed Man, but an uncanny demon-like man had emerged instead.
What surprised him most, though, was that the demon had saved Lu Huan. That was what mattered!
"Strange. Why does he seem so familiar... Why does he look more and more like Mo Xie?"
Zhu Meng stared at the demon, a strange look crossing his face. He felt as though he knew him.
Of everyone there, only Mo Fan stood in a daze. He stared at that small yet imposing figure and murmured,
"Brother..."
During the escape from Jinlin Ruined City, he had felt it in his heart: that demon was his brother, Mo Xie!
Beside him, Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, and Zhang Xiaohou heard him. They froze, then turned to him in shock.
"Mo Fan, are you saying... that terrifying guy is Mo Xie?!"
As everyone struggled to make sense of it, Ling Xi spoke calmly from the crowd.
"Look. Aren't those Mo Xie's clothes?"
Han Ji, Zhu Meng, and Fei Jiao had also heard Mo Fan. At Ling Xi's reminder, they looked closely and finally noticed something was off.
"Mo Xie... He does give me that feeling!"
"No way. How could that demon be the kid? This..."
Their exchange jogged Du Xiao's memory. He stared at the demon in disbelief and said with sudden certainty,
"No... He... He seems to be Mo Xie!"
