Chapter 1012: How Many Have Died?

It was just a Demon Heart! How did that concern them? They did not understand why their master had to hide when the Demon Heart appeared. Just how much did he fear the Demon Heart?

“What do you know?” Master Ling glared at his subordinate, his expression clouded.

Everyone said that Qian Jiyun was the Demon Heart, but he was the only one who knew that was not true.

He was the only one who had seen the young Demon Heart successor, who had been crippled to a hardly recognizable state and had everything taken away. How could Qian Jiyun be the baby who was still in diapers 20 years ago?

Besides the age disparity, the genders did not match either.

The baby was a little girl, so it was not Qian Jiyun. It was definitely not Qian Jiyun.

However, the Demon Heart appeared once Qian Jiyun returned. What did this mean?

He had already sent someone to investigate secretly. Qian Jiyun did not return alone this time. He brought his wife with him.

Many people on Wulong Mountain knew that Qian Jiyun had been looking for his wife for the past few years.

However, no one cared about such a small matter.

But who would have thought that the wife Qian Jiyun had been looking for was… the successor to the Demon Heart?!

He had already thought through it. Apart from Qian Jiyun’s wife, no one else could match the timing and location of the Demon Heart’s appearance.

The woman aligned perfectly with the right time, the right place, and the right people.

If she was not the Demon Heart, who could it be?

He did not care about the Demon Heart because he knew the Demon Heart was just like them, only she had a faster cultivation speed. Even if he could not handle her alone, he could if he worked with many people.

It was just like the previous High Priest Demon Heart, who had gone missing because of them. Her fate remained unknown to this day.

However, there was something he actually cared about—the Life Stone.

He had to obtain the Life Stone! He absolutely had to!

“How many of those sacrificial warriors have died?” he asked his subordinates coldly.

“More than 100 have died, Master.” The subordinate’s expression was calm, but it did not stop the surge of emotions in his heart.

Although the sacrificial warriors were from other families, they were still humans!

However, their master seemed completely unconcerned with the sacrificial warriors. He knew that they would not be able to return after going to Jun Lin Hall, but he kept sending them over.

The subordinate still could not figure out his master’s intentions.

“Only 100 people?” Master Ling frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with this number.

“Only…” 100 people?

His subordinates were shocked when they heard that. They looked up secretly and glanced at their master before quickly lowering their heads.

They were afraid they would end up like the sacrificial warriors if they did not control their expressions.

More than 100 people had died. Was that a small number?

“Continue sending them to Jun Lin Hall. Make a few more trips there each day. Also, find out when Qian Jiyun and the others will be back!” he instructed, as his subordinates looked on in shock.

If he wanted to obtain the Life Stone, he had to target that woman’s weakness..
