BXBX NOVEL Chapter 985 - 985: Someone You Know
However, who would have guessed that this elder was the one who ruled over the entire Wulong Mountain back then?
“Greetings, High Priest Demon Heart.”
An Jiuyue released Qian Jiyun’s hand and bowed to the elderly woman.
Qian Jiyun’s eyes widened as he looked at the elderly woman in disbelief.
“Jiuyue, you’re saying she’s the former Demon Heart?!”
He wondered if the elderly woman in front of him was the one who had destroyed so many major clans back then, giving rise to the rumors about the Demon Heart being bloodthirsty. He found it hard to believe.
An Jiuyue turned to look at him and replied, “She’s not the former Demon
Heart. She’s the current High Priest Demon Heart.”
As long as she had not removed the “successor” title, the person in front of them would always be the High Priest Demon Heart. However, she did look a little disheveled.
Qian Jiyun did not dwell on An Jiuyue’s words. Instead, he looked at the High Priest Demon Heart.
“It’s been 20 years. I never expected that you would… remember.”
The High Priest Demon Heart shook her head at An Jiuyue. Her hand trembled uncontrollably as she gripped her walking stick. It seemed as if her entire body was shaking.
She looked at Qian Jiyun and asked, “This is…”
“Someone you know,” An Jiuyue said.
Upon hearing that, the High Priest Demon Heart studied Qian Jiyun carefully for a while before breaking into a smile. Her smile appeared weathered, and they could see the tears welling up in the corner of her eye.
“You two really know how to surprise an old lady.”
She had foreseen that they would have some encounters, but she had never expected that they would come to her together.
“Since you’re here, let’s have a chat. Follow me.” She waved at them, turned around, and walked into the cave.
An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun followed her. Qian Jiyun protected An Jiuyue, keeping her behind him as he held her hand tightly.
“There’s no need to be so tense. One of you is Brother An Tu’s successor, while the other is mine. I have no reason to harm the both of you.”
Sensing Qian Jiyun’s tension, the High Priest Demon Heart spoke to him as they walked in.
The cave was rather long. They walked for a long time before arriving at their destination. It was a big cave. There was no candlelight inside, but a large luminous pearl provided enough light to illuminate the entire cave.
“We’re here.”
An Jiuyue looked at the rows of cabinets on the wall of the cave, which were filled with neatly arranged books.
She could not help but exclaim, “There are so many books!”
Carrying so many books up here back then had to be…
Alright, if it was her father, he could easily carry them up here. He could simply put them in his space and then take them out inside the cave.
“These are all yours now,” the High Priest Demon Heart said as she looked at An Jiuyue.
“Mine?” An Jiuyue pointed at herself and asked.
Why would she need so many books? Although she could store them in her space, keeping them here was pretty good too, right?
“Yes, they’re yours.” The High Priest Demon Heart nodded at her.
“If you don’t finish reading all the books here, you won’t be qualified to become the High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain. The books here contain the secrets of Wulong Mountain, records of the major clans, and insights into cultivating demonic energy.
“Without these, you can’t become the High Priest Demon Heart. And even if you do, you won’t be able to subdue the many major clans on Wulong Mountain..”
