The Priest looked at the way Jiu Muli looked at them, and his heart tensed up. He held his hands by his side, subconsciously forming a fist, and walked down the hall, hesitating to take a step.
Seeing that Jiu Muli still hadn't jumped down from the Deity's Lake, some among the crowd guessed that Jiu Muli probably didn't have the guts to jump down. She only wanted to scare them and then put them on the spot before moving on to the next life or death so that she could take advantage of their panic to escape.
Therefore, the little god beside the priest whispered to him, "Father, why don't we capture her now."
The priest frowned. There was a moment of hesitation in his heart.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about that before, but when he thought about how he could turn everything in the world into dust behind her back then, and the Deity's Lake that could even destroy a god's soul, he felt that it was too risky.
Furthermore, as long as they got close to the Deity's Lake, all the spiritual energy s of the divine beings would be restricted, so even if the divine gods rushed over right now, they might not necessarily be able to catch Jiu Muli.
Maybe Jiu Muli could even pull a few divine spirits down with him before he died. Although the priest himself knew that he wasn't really concerned about the life and death of these divine spirits, he had no interest in this sort of thing.
Jiu Muli looked at the distant group of gods who were ready to make a move, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer. She knew that this group of people wouldn't dare to even risk their lives.
Jiu Muli watched from afar as Cloud Phoenix Fairy squatted down and fed a divine pellet to Feng Li who was still in a coma. She suddenly smiled lightly.
Although she hadn't loved Feng Li and Feng Li had only become like this because of her, after she died, she believed that she would no longer have any love or hate for him, and would most likely forget about the two of them today and her past.
As Jiu Muli walked up the steps of the Deity's Lake, her actions immediately caused a huge uproar among the Gods.
The six gods stared at the priest who remained silent for a long time, the regret and anxiety in their eyes extremely obvious.
Jiu Muli walked very slowly, and the gigantic white mist that was normally calm in the Deity's Lake began to sway, causing the hurricane brought by the white mist to fill the entire hall with an unstoppable killing intent.
The red and white clothes fluttered on the stairs outside of Deity's Lake. Jiu Muli's expression was cold and aloof, as if she had left the world.
At some point in time, Jiu Muli had lost her shoes and she was currently barefoot as she walked on the ice-cold steps of the Deity's Lake.
When Jiu Muli had already walked to the penultimate step and was facing the Deity's Lake with his eyes closed, ready to jump, Feng Li's voice suddenly came from behind.
Feng Li, who had eaten the Cloud Phoenix Fairy's Divine Pellet, had just woken up in Yun Huang's arms and was urgently searching for Jiu Muli's figure.
Only when he anxiously realised that he could not find Jiu Muli's figure in the surrounding did he raise his head to look at the gods. Under the gazes of the gods, Feng Li finally saw that he was standing on the last step of the stairs in Deity's Lake.
"Jiu Muli." Feng Li exhausted all of his strength and loudly shouted Jiu Muli's name.
The heart-wrenching sound caused Jiu Muli's heart to fiercely tremble. She stopped and stood on the last step of the stone steps, hesitating for a long time without turning around.
Seeing Jiu Muli standing at the side of Deity's Lake, Feng Li's heart was tightly clenched. He felt that all the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and an enormous wave of fear had deeply grabbed hold of his heart.
Feng Li gathered all the spiritual energy in his body, threw aside Cloud Phoenix Fairy's hands and shakily stood up.
His robe was covered in blood, and his pale face had traces of bright red blood on it. Due to the pain coming from his body, large beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
"Jiu Muli, you can't die!" Feng Li shouted behind Jiu Muli with all of his strength once again. He could not imagine what Jiu Muli would do without him.
Looking at Jiu Muli's back that refused to turn around for a long time, Feng Li's heart was filled with fear. He couldn't imagine what Jiu Muli would do if he really jumped off the Deity's Lake right in front of his eyes.
Hearing Feng Li's call, Jiu Muli didn't open his legs for a long time and threw himself into the Deity's Lake.
Jiu Muli did not know what he was hesitating for, or what he was waiting for. Everything in front of him was so despairing and it made him lose all feeling of attachment, but it was as if he wanted to hear what Feng Li was up to.
Seeing Jiu Muli, who had not made a move for a long time, Feng Li seemed to have seen a trace of hope.
He knew that Jiu Muli wouldn't give up on him so easily, he believed that Jiu Muli wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
Jiu Muli's Xiao Se's back caused Feng Li's heart to ache. The Jiu Muli in his memories was clearly that happy, her painstakingly beautiful face and bright smile had always remained in his heart, that was the most precious and happiest memory he would never erase.
Feng Li shakily stood up and took a step towards Jiu Muli's direction.
He was starting to regret why he had left Jiu Muli for the sake of this so-called position of the first Divine King. If it wasn't for his greed, he might still be at Jiu Muli's side right now, and the two of them wouldn't have reached such a stage.
Jiu Muli would not be captured like a tribute by others, and he would not betray his feelings for the sake of this so-called title and the cultivation of spiritual energy that he would never see peak.
If he had not left, then Jiu Muli would not have been harmed like this. At least, no matter what happened, he could always stay by her side to protect her.
And now, he no longer had the chance to do so.
When he stood in the great hall and wanted to hold a grand wedding ceremony with the Cloud Phoenix Fairy, he had already stood with the other gods in Jiu Muli's heart. He was her enemy, the enemy of Jiu Muli.
But for an enemy, no matter how much he begged right now, Jiu Muli would never forgive him or believe him.
Feng Li knew all of this. Facing such a determined Jiu Muli who was about to throw himself into the Deity's Lake, in front of an unprecedented fear, Feng Li had already thrown his helmet and armor in defeat and suffered a crushing defeat.
But even then, no matter how sorry he looked, perhaps Jiu Muli would not even glance at him once, and her heart would no longer stay in place for him for an instant.
Thinking about it, Feng Li felt a pang in his heart. A tear fell from the corner of his eye onto his blood-stained face.
The Divine Monarch who was usually cold and desolate like ice was currently dragging his injured body in a sorry state, passing through the gods, and walking towards Jiu Muli.
All the Gods were emotionally moved by this scene, but they secretly hoped that he could truly pull Jiu Muli back from the Deity's Lake.
In their hearts, they were thinking that as long as he could rouse a little bit of greed from Jiu Muli's heart, they would definitely swarm over and grab onto Jiu Muli, not giving her any chance to escape at all.
