Chapter 978: Killing the Demon Heart Was Just a Thought

The subordinate replied to him and did not dare to say anything else.

What did Wulong Mountain lack the least? Dead people—everyone knew that.

People died on Wulong Mountain every day. They died in batches and came from all corners, essentially walking into their doom.

Inside the book repository, An Jiuyue had already calmed down.

Qian Jiyun stayed by her side and watched her calm down and meditate. She had absorbed the wisps of demonic energy, and some of it would occasionally enter his body too.

He watched the demonic energy surround An Jiuyue, realizing he had never seen something like this.

“The Demon Heart’s successor?”

He was still holding the book and reading it carefully.

Even after absorbing all the demonic energy, she was still not the real Demon Heart but only the successor, right?

Even if she had absorbed the demonic energy into her dantian, it had to be done gradually. It was not easy to become the Demon Heart. She still needed many things.

“This is really…”

He shook his head and turned to look at An Jiuyue.

When he discovered that he was the successor to the inter-plane travelers at

Huayan Peak, he felt that he owed her. He thought An Tu had only found An Jiuyue to be a shield for him. He felt extremely guilty and thought of thousands of ways to treat her well.

But now…

“Jiuyue, who are you? Will you tell me after you become the successor of Demon Heart?”

He sighed softly. His question made him feel helpless. If An Jiuyue were to ask him who he truly was, could he even answer her?

An Jiuyue had been meditating for a day and a night. Half of the demonic energy cloud above the book repository had disappeared.

The restless major clans wanted to kill the Demon Heart, but no one dared to do so. After all, the Demon Heart had nearly wiped out 99 major clans back then.

Killing the Demon Heart was just a thought.

Meanwhile, An Jiuyue was still trapped in her dream.

In the dream, the memories of her two lifetimes merged, and some long-forgotten memories resurfaced as well.

She had never expected that the memories she recalled could connect the memories of her two lifetimes, making her truly live as one person.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and took deep breaths.

“Jiuyue, you’re awake?”

Qian Jiyun noticed it immediately. He put down the book in his hand and sat down beside her.

An Jiuyue stared at Qian Jiyun, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily. She calmed down when she saw Qian Jiyun’s face.

“I… How long have I been here?” she asked Qian Jiyun.

“Three days, ” Qian Jiyun replied immediately, reaching out to gently pull her into his arms.

“Do you feel uncomfortable after absorbing so much demonic energy? Don’t hold it in. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”

An Jiuyue shut her eyes and felt her body. When she realized there was nothing wrong, she opened her eyes and shook her head at Qian Jiyun. “I don’t feel uncomfortable. I just have some mixed emotions.” She chuckled and sighed before snuggling into Qian Jiyun’s arms.

“Qian Jiyun, we’re even now, right?”
