Chapter 976 - 976: The Demon Heart Has Appeared
“Don’t worry. It won’t hurt for long. I’m here with you, Jiuyue. I’m here,” Qian Jiyun comforted her softly as he patted her back.
“Yan Feng, guard outside. Don’t let anyone enter the book repository!” he instructed Yan Feng.
“Yes, Master,” Yan Feng replied, turning to leave immediately.
But when he left, he realized something was amiss.
He looked up and saw that the morning sun was no longer in the sky. Instead, there was a dense demonic energy enveloping the book repository like a massive cloud.
Boom! Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared continuously, as if they were about to strike the book repository. However, they narrowly missed the building each time.
Within the massive cloud of demonic energy hovering above, wisps of demonic energy were converging toward the book repository.
He could tell that all of that demonic energy would enter An Jiuyue’s body eventually because he had seen her body surrounded by wisps of demonic energy before he came out.
“Why? Why is there so much demonic energy? This is…”
An Jiuyue’s demonic energy cultivation would almost certainly surpass that of Qian Jiyun once she absorbed that large cloud of demonic energy, right?
How many people on Wulong Mountain could be her match?
He wondered what kind of mistress their master had found for them. How could she be so capable and cause such a huge commotion upon her arrival?
“Come here!” He summoned his subordinates immediately. “Surround the book repository. Kill anyone who dares to enter!”
“Yes, Second Lord.”
They surrounded the book repository quickly, making it nearly impossible for even a fly to enter.
“What’s going on? What’s happening over there?”
Although Wulong Mountain was huge, such a significant commotion could be witnessed from many places.
Dozens of people from prominent families saw this scene and came out to watch. Some did not know what was happening, but the older ones were well aware.
“The Demon Heart has appeared?”
“We waited for so long, and still the Demon Heart appeared.”
“How can this be? Why did the Demon Heart appear again? Shouldn’t he have vanished?”
The older ones could not help but feel incredulous. The previous Demon Heart had vanished for reasons unknown, and the new Demon Heart had yet to appear after 20 years.
Just when they thought the Demon Heart would never return to Wulong Mountain, the Demon Heart… reappeared?
“What direction is that?” someone asked.
“Isn’t that the Jun Lin Hall that Qian Jiyun founded? Is Qian Jiyun the Demon Heart?”
Many people felt indignant when they guessed that Qian Jiyun was the Demon Heart. Qian Jiyun arrived at Wulong Mountain after everyone else. How could he become the Demon Heart?
Some even thought of killing Qian Jiyun before he became the true Demon
Heart.
“Is it Qian Jiyun? Is he the Demon Heart?”
“How can it be him? What right does he have to become the Demon Heart?”
“The Demon Heart is cruel and bloodthirsty. We can’t let him become the Demon Heart. We have to kill him. Only then will Wulong Mountain be at peace.”
Almost simultaneously, many people felt compelled to rush over and kill Qian Jiyun, who had yet to become the Demon Heart. That way, they would not have to fear anyone on Wulong Mountain..
