Chapter 1414

He looked up at the starry sky, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Could he really be forgiven? Could the mistakes he made really be made up for by one meritorious service after another?

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a faint weeping sound. He followed the sound and found a little girl curled up in a corner, her shoulders trembling, obviously weeping.

Mo Han squatted down and asked softly: "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl looked up at him with teary eyes, "I... I can't find my way home..."

Mo Han's heart softened; he remembered that he had also been lost when he was a child, and that kind of helplessness and fear was still fresh in his memory. He reached out and gently patted the little girl on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home."

Under the guidance of the little girl, Mo Han took her through several alleys and finally found her home. Seeing their daughter return safely, the little girl's parents were moved to tears.

"Thank you, thank you!" the little girl's father held Mo Han's hand tightly, "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do."

Mo Han smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just happened to meet her."

After leaving the little girl's home, Mo Han continued walking home. The night wind was still cold, but a warm current surged in his heart. Perhaps, he really could do something for this city and lend a helping hand to those who needed it.

As the days passed, Mo Han gradually established a good image among the people of Yexian. He was no longer the man who traded with a demon, but a hero who truly cared for the people.

However, good times did not last long. One night, Yexian was suddenly attacked by a mysterious force. This force was powerful and cunning; they used terrain and buildings to hide and launched a fierce attack on Yexian.

Gu Yi and Mo Han led the soldiers to resist with all their might, but the opponent was clearly prepared, and the offensive was exceptionally fierce. Yexian's defense line was broken through time and time again, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"This is not a way to go!" Gu Yi said anxiously, "We must find their weakness and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Mo Han frowned; he looked at the smoke-filled battlefield, and his heart understood the importance of this battle. He knew he could no longer just look out for himself as he did before; he had to take responsibility for this city and these people.

"I'll go and scout!" Mo Han said, "See if I can find their weakness."

Gu Yi nodded, "Be careful!"

Mo Han changed into plain clothes and quietly sneaked into the enemy's position. He carefully avoided the enemy's patrol teams and approached the enemy's core area step by step.

However, just as he was about to discover the enemy's weakness, he carelessly stepped on a trap. In an instant, the alarm sounded, and the enemy swarmed toward him.

Mo Han resisted with all his might, but two fists were no match for four hands. Soon, he was subdued by the enemy on the ground.

"Hahaha!" a familiar voice came, "Mo Han, oh Mo Han, you really delivered yourself to my door!"

Mo Han looked up and saw the demon he had once traded with. It sneered and walked in front of him, "Do you think you can escape from my palm? Now, you will become my puppet!"

Saying this, the demon began to chant a spell. Mo Han felt a dark force gradually invading his body, and his consciousness began to blur.

"No... I cannot surrender just like this..." Mo Han struggled and said, "I want to protect Yexian... protect those innocent people..."

A strong force surged in his heart; it was his responsibility and commitment to Yexian. He tried his best to break free from the demon's control, jumped up, and launched a fierce attack on the demon.

After a fierce battle, Mo Han finally defeated the demon. He panted, looking at the demon lying on the ground, his heart filled with the pleasure of victory.

However, when he returned to Yexian, he discovered that the battle had already ended. Gu Yi and the soldiers had paid a huge price to repel that mysterious force.

"Mo Han!" Seeing Mo Han return, Gu Yi shouted joyfully, "Are you okay?"

Mo Han shook his head, "I'm fine. Has the battle ended?"

"It has ended," Gu Yi sighed, "Although we won, we also paid a heavy price."

Mo Han looked at those soldiers who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield, his heart filled with grief and respect. He knew that the victory of this battle was hard-won; it was exchanged with their blood and lives.

A few days later, Yexian held a grand funeral for those sacrificed soldiers. All the people in the city came to see them off, their faces filled with sorrow and respect.

Mo Han stood in the crowd, watching those sacrificed soldiers being buried in the martyrs' cemetery. His heart was filled with emotion and self-reproach. If he could have discovered the enemy's weakness earlier, perhaps so many people would not have sacrificed themselves. ===== CHAPTER 1415 =====
