The mysterious old woman nodded slightly, and then continued:
"The bloody heart suppressed by the palace that day is actually an extremely terrifying demon, a thousand times more terrifying than the leader of the bloodthirsty demon sect!"
"I don't know how long ago, this demon was suppressed by a person of great power under the Heavenly Palace, leaving only one heart. Now that he has escaped, he will continue to steal other people's hearts to restore his own cultivation."
"And the higher the level of cultivation, the easier it is for him to become his target, because the hearts of these powerful cultivators are extremely nourishing tonics for this demon, which can help him recover his abilities faster."
After hearing this, Han Jiulin immediately thought about many things, and then pointed at the strange corpse again and asked: "Old lady, could this corpse demon be transformed from Zhan Wucha's corpse?"
"Zhan Wusha?
Don’t recognize it.”
The old woman said lightly.
"Yes...it's Lord Zhan Wusha. I finally recognized him now!"
Nangong Yuling on the side was reminded by Han Jiulin and suppressed the discomfort in her heart to carefully identify the various features on the strange corpse's body, and then finally confirmed it.
Han Jiulin couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart when he heard this. The truth about Zhan Wucha's sudden and mysterious death was revealed.
As long as there are monsters that rely on taking out other people's hearts to supply themselves with energy, the Canglan Empire and even the entire Shenwu Continent will face a huge catastrophe.
If a top powerhouse like Zhan Wucha died suddenly after his heart was quietly removed by the demon, then how many people in the entire Shenwu Continent could survive the encounter with this demon?
Even Han Jiulin didn't dare to think about it further at this moment.
"Old lady, you are so powerful, do you know where the devil is now?"
Han Jiulin asked the mysterious old woman.
The mysterious old woman shook her head after hearing this, and then said:
"Old lady, I have been tracking that devil for an unknown amount of time, but he still managed to get away by his cunning. Now this guy must have taken the bodies of other guys and hid them."
"But the aura of this guy should feel familiar to you. Han Jiulin, you have had a fighting experience with it. If he approaches you, you should be able to detect it. But then you must not hesitate in the slightest and run for your life."
That’s it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious old woman continued to leave with Zhan Wusha's corpse, gradually disappearing into the vast desert.
…
The Black Dragon Cliff, the main altar of the Demon Sect, is where the masters of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect gather, and it is also the most dangerous area in the entire Shenwu Continent.
Since Han Jiulin separated from the mysterious old woman that day, he was forcibly brought back to Black Dragon Cliff by Nangong Haochuan.
There are five towering peaks on the Black Dragon Cliff, and the most majestic peak in the middle is called "Jiuhuan Peak". Han Jiulin is currently meditating in Yiyun Pavilion on the mountainside of Jiuhuan Peak.
.
Yiyun Pavilion had always been the residence of Nangong Yuling before the arrival of Han Jiulin. It was located in the waist and abdomen of Black Dragon Cliff. Only after passing through heavy defenses could one reach Yiyun Pavilion.
Of course, this also means that not only is it difficult for foreign enemies to invade Yiyun Pavilion, but it is also difficult for the people detained inside to escape.
Not to mention that Han Jiulin's current cultivation level is only at the second level of the Mortal Realm. Being in the Black Dragon Cliff, even a strong man in the King's Realm would have a hard time.
The reason why Nangong Haochuan brought Han Jiulin back to Black Dragon Cliff and placed him in Nangong Yuling's Yiyun Pavilion was because he was not sure what attitude his father, Nangong Lie, the leader of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, would have towards Han Jiulin.
.
So Nangong Haochuan planned to go to his father to return his life and test his words again, and finally decided whether to arrange for Han Jiulin to meet the leader of the Demon Sect.
It should be noted that Han Jiulin's mother, Nangong Ziyu, was the most valued daughter of the leader of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect. She was named a saint of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect when she was only eleven years old.
However, twenty years ago, the most valued daughter of the leader of the Demon Sect broke off the father-daughter relationship with him because of a man and betrayed the Demon Sect. Although a full twenty years have passed since this incident, his father's anger at the time was still there.
Nangong Haochuan is still vivid in my mind.
"Actually, I don't think you need to worry too much. Since it has been a full twenty years since the incident, no matter how angry the sect master was at the time, it is time to calm down now. What's more, Han Jiulin is still her son."
The master of the Killing Altar stood beside Nangong Haochuan and spoke.
Nangong Haochuan chuckled, then looked at the clouds in the sky and said:
"Although Han Jiulin is Ziyu's son, half of the Qinglong Palace's blood flows in his body. This is what I am really worried about.
In fact, although the sect leader was extremely angry at Tzuyu's behavior, he never really hated Tzuyu."
"Otherwise, eleven years ago I would not have personally led many sect masters into the imperial capital.
But for the Qinglong Palace and the entire Canglan Empire, the sect master hates it to the core and wishes to crush all those people to ashes!"
"So, do you think that if the sect master sees Han Jiulin this time, he will definitely kill him?"
The leader of the Killing Altar then asked.
"No, I'm really not sure what the sect master will do if he sees Han Jiulin, so I'm hesitant here. His old man's mind has always been unpredictable, and it's not something I can guess."
Nangong Haochuan Road.
The leader of the Killing Altar smiled and said:
"I think since the sect leader only has two children, you and Nangong Ziyu. You gave birth to three daughters but no sons, but Nangong Ziyu gave birth to a son and a daughter. This also means that the only one in the sect leader's bloodline is
Han Jiulin is a grandson."
"In this case, I guess I may not kill Han Jiulin. I may even want to make Han Jiulin recognize him as my grandfather."
Nangong Haochuan put his hands behind his back, looked forward, sighed and said:
"Eleven years ago, your guess might have been correct, but after eleven years of retreat this time, the sect master's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many times, even I stand in front of him.
Everyone will feel a murderous intention."
"This...could it be because of the bloodthirsty demonic power?"
The leader of the Killing Altar guessed.
"I only know that what happened back then must have planted a demon in the heart of the sect master. In the past eleven years, the sect master has been in seclusion. In addition to attacking the legendary holy realm, he is also trying to cut off the inner demons in his own heart.
That inner demon."
"Then if the sect leader has reached the legendary realm of sainthood, how can we avoid his five senses of sainthood as we just said?"
"Don't say too much, go to Wuya Temple to report this mission to the sect leader."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Haochuan turned into a swift shadow and soared into the sky, followed closely by the leader of the Killing Altar.
