“Don’t you know who Qian Liuguang is?
The High Priest Demon Heart narrowed her eyes instantly.
“You heard about Qian Liuguang? You were only two months old. How did
you… ”
She did not continue her question because it was pointless. She already knew the answer. Why ask?
“Who is Qian Liuguang?” Qian Jiyun asked her.
He had some guesses in his heart. Qian Liuguang should be the name his so-called father once used, right?
He changed his name after entering Daqing Kingdom so that no one could chase after him.
“Why don’t you ask An Tu about this?” The High Priest Demon Heart asked her.
An Jiuyue sneered and said, “I’ll verify it after asking you.”
“Good, very good.” The High Priest Demon Heart nodded vigorously.
In the end, she told them everything about Qian Liuguang and her.
After descending from the Duanyu Cliff with An Jiuyue on his back, Qian Jiyun looked up.
“She died just like that?”
He still could not believe that the High Priest Demon Heart had been reduced to ashes before his eyes, disappearing without a trace.
An Jiuyue sneered and said, “She stole someone else’s life and lived for another 20 years. It’s enough, as she said.”
“What… do you mean?”
Qian Jiyun carried her on his back and did not put her down. They returned the same way they came.
“Do you really think things are as good as she says? Do you think she’s so righteous? She’s just trying to hide the heinous things she’s done in front of us.” An Jiuyue sneered.
“In fact, Father Tu was the most innocent person involved in what happened back then. The High Priest Demon Heart had ordered someone to hide you, the successor of Huayan Peak. Later, Father Tu went to Wulong Mountain and sent my other soul to another plane.
“That was his mistake. That’s why there haven’t been any inter-plane travelers in Huayan Peak for 20 years. Without the High Priest Demon Heart’s schemes, he wouldn’t have died so early.”
“But why did she do that?” Qian Jiyun asked.
It didn’t make sense, did it? Even if An Jiuyue could remember events from birth, it should not be such a taboo for the High Priest Demon Heart.
“She wanted to kill me back then, but she couldn’t, and her lifespan suffered instead. Do you see this?” An Jiuyue waved the piece of jade in front of him.
“This is called the Life Stone. It’s the only one in the world. I was born with it. The Life Stone can be used to extend someone’s life by splitting me into two souls and ensuring the two souls never meet.”
“So it’s not that she wants to return it to you, but this thing is now useless to her, right?” Qian Jiyun asked.
“You can say that.” An Jiuyue nodded.
“Even if she doesn’t hand it over, the energy in the Life Stone will only keep her alive for another two months. It makes no difference whether she dies now or later.”
“Then why did she kill so many people from the major clans?” Qian Jiyun asked.
Since everything contradicted what the High Priest Demon Heart had said, there had to be another explanation for why so many people died back then, right?
“That’s an interesting one. Wasn’t it just to s.n.a.t.c.h…”
An Jiuyue smiled and shook the Life Stone in front of the man..
