Chapter 977: You I re Finally… Back!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qian Jiyun was already powerful enough, and he would kill anyone he disliked.
If he really became the Demon Heart, everyone who had opposed him in the past would die at his hands.
“Find out who is absorbing demonic energy immediately! Find out if it’s Qian Jiyun!”
In response to the crowd’s discussions, several major families started to take action. However, they did not dare send people to kill. Instead, they instructed their subordinates to investigate.
At the Duanyu Cliff…
An elderly woman with disheveled clothes and white hair draped over her shoulders emerged from a cave covered in weeds.
She had a hideous scar where one of her eyes had been gouged out. As she looked up at the phenomenon in the sky with her remaining eye, her turbid eye suddenly became clear.
“Demon Heart’s successor, I’ve waited for you for 20 years. You’re finally… back!”
She sighed softly and returned to the cave with unsteady steps, as if she had never come out.
“You’re back, you’re back. It’s good that you’re back. It’s time to wash away the filth of Wulong Mountain. It’s said that the past cannot be undone, but how can the past… be forgotten?” she murmured, her voice distant and lingering.
Outside the book repository, groups of people came and went.
Yan Feng, who had been standing guard, naturally sensed their presence. However, since they did not attack, he pretended not to see anything.
But he was very shocked.
“Demon Heart? Is Mistress really the Demon Heart?”
Although he had never seen the Demon Heart, he had heard rumors.
20 years ago, the previous Demon Heart slaughtered the 99 prominent families of Wulong Mountain until only 20 remained. Even the remaining 20 were severely injured.
Not to mention the other families; they experienced total annihilation. No one was left alive.
He did not know the reason behind this. He had only heard that the Demon Heart was bloodthirsty and killed without leaving a trace—no different from a lunatic.
Although rumors could not be trusted, it was a fact that the previous Demon Heart had killed many people. He wondered what their mistress would be like after she became the Demon Heart.
Their master had to have a good relationship with her since he was so protective of her.
He hoped that now that she had become the Demon Heart and her killer instincts had been awakened, she would not…
“Second Lord, is Mistress really…”
“Shut up!”
The person beside Yan Feng felt compelled to ask, but Yan Feng glared at him.
“Don’t you know what to say? If you say another word about Mistress, I’ll cut your tongue off!” He warned the person beside him coldly.
The people outside treated Qian Jiyun as the Demon Heart. Yan Feng had gone back into the book repository to seek instructions from him, and he said he wanted them to continue their misunderstanding.
It made sense. They could not let anyone know that An Jiuyue was the Demon Heart before she completely became the Demon Heart.
“I’ve made a mistake.” The subordinate lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Yan Feng instructed him, “Go and stand guard. If a third person finds out about this, you should know what will happen to you. You should also know what
Wulong Mountain lacks the least.”
“I understand..”
