Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Shen Yichen's heart will not break, because he has two hearts!

Mu Qingxue's initiative also failed, not only because both of them were physically weak, but also because the old man in the blood-red robe returned, and his face was not covered.

"Little girl, is it really necessary to be so affectionate? It's only been a short while, and you've already crawled over there. Aren't you afraid of leaving a scar on your wound?"

"If you leave a scar, I'll have someone kill you. Just throw that piece of junk away. Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose!"

"Little girl, you've really misunderstood me. It was that old woman who did it. She left a scar, so you should go and get revenge on her!"

The old man in the blood-red robe walked over and pinned Mu Qingxue down.

"It probably hurt a little, so I couldn't help biting his arm!"

The old man in the blood-red robe went to gather herbs, specifically for the scar on Mu Qingxue's back.

"Bite without worry, he can't feel anything in his body right now!"

Mu Qingxue actually bit Shen Yichen's arm, and a piercing pain shot through her back.

"Alright, you two, one lying down and the other prone, just stay put. I need to recover. If that old woman catches up with us, we'll all die here together!"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue exchanged a glance.

Mu Qingxue called out softly;

"You don't look like a bad person, so why are you making yourself look so scary?"

"Little girl, this doesn't sound like something the young lady of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect would say. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect is known as the leader of all demonic sects. Are all the people in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect bad people?"

"Senior, things are different now, Jian Yingcheng. You weren't like this before. We can't help but suspect that you have ulterior motives!"

The old man in the blood-red robe sat cross-legged.

"Girl, you're the one with ulterior motives, aren't you? Don't worry, once you're both better, I'll lend you a hand. Young Master Ji, Miss of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, if you two get together, will the distinction between good and evil still be clear in this world?"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue were taken aback. They really couldn't tell whether the old man in the blood robe was telling the truth or lying. Although he spoke in a joking tone, they felt that he was telling the truth.

But it doesn't matter, since the two of them have already made their decision.

Shen Yichen asked softly:

"Senior, what should I call you?"

The old man in the blood-red robe did not respond; he was using his internal energy to heal his injuries.

Mu Qingxue and Shen Yichen were actually quite nervous. They were not familiar with the Ancient Miao Region and really didn't know what the old man in the blood robe was up to!

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue would never believe that there was no ulterior motive in saving the two people!

Mu Qingxue quickly got up and began to heal her injuries.

Shen Yichen was still unable to move. He knew that his bloodline needed to be tempered, otherwise his body would have serious problems when the power of his bloodline erupted next time. But Shen Yichen didn't know how to temper it or what to use to temper his bloodline.

Shen Yichen quietly watched the blood-robed old man who was practicing his internal energy with his eyes closed. Shen Yichen knew that the blood-robed old man knew the secret of his body, not the secret in his dantian, because the Void Dust Pearl had always been protecting it, but the secret in his bloodline!

Shen Yichen sensed another heart. Although he didn't know what was going on, he was certain that the old man in the blood-red robe also knew that he had another heart, and knew more than he did!

Shen Yichen only sensed a little bit before fainting, but the old man in the blood-red robe knew everything from beginning to end.

When Shen Yichen's bloodline power surged, the two hearts separated, and his bloodline heart actually contained another heart.

Shen Yichen now understood that the reason he hadn't died under the Returning Heart Arrow was because he had two hearts.

But Shen Yichen couldn't understand whether the Bloodline Heart was hiding that heart or protecting it. And what about the power within that heart?

Although it was only for a moment, Shen Yichen found that power completely unfamiliar! One thing was certain: that power was extremely pure.

Shen Yichen thought of his other self under the Emperor Tree. He wondered if that heart was related to that person.

Shen Yichen pondered for a long time. He concluded that it didn't matter, because the self under the Emperor Tree was an illusion. How could an illusion have a real heart? That heart belonged to him.

Shen Yichen's worries have come true!

Shen Yichen felt that it might be the heart of his childhood self—domineering, ruthless, resolute, and competitive. If that were the case, Shen Yichen really wouldn't dare to get close to that heart.

Shen Yichen muttered to himself:

Did Jian Chenqing really hear different heartbeats back then?

Shen Yichen then realized that Jian Chenqing's feelings along the way were genuine and not a joke, which meant that Jian Chenqing also knew his secret, but she couldn't understand it.

In fact, not only Jian Chenqing couldn't understand it, but even Shen Yichen himself would never have imagined that a person could have two hearts if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. It was just too unbelievable!

"The sky is high and the water is far away, the smoke and water are cold, the mountains and peaks are stacked up to return to the palace of life, the tower enters the reincarnation and its destination is unknown, blessing and disaster are born and determined by heaven!"

This was the second time Shen Yichen had heard this sentence.

Shen Yichen overheard the old man in the blood-red robe telling Mu Qingxue outside the sword energy cage in Sword Welcome City.

Shen Yichen never thought about it carefully. This was the location of the Rebirth Tower. In other words, the Rebirth Palace mentioned by the Half-Faced Demon Emperor should be related to the Twelve Peaks of the Witchcraft Mountain!

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined; Heaven will decide!"

Shen Yichen now understood why the old man in the blood-red robe had saved him—he was the chosen one. But why did that strange old woman try to kill him? How did the old woman know he was the chosen one? And how did she find them so accurately, and even utilize the formation in the Maple Forest?

Shen Yichen is now certain that the old woman must be from Luowu Ancient City!

But Shen Yichen had a question in his mind. He felt a sense of closeness to that strange old woman, which was really inexplicable.

To put it another way, Shen Yichen felt a strong affinity for the aura within the Ten Thousand Maple Forest formation, even though that power almost killed him!

Shen Yichen really couldn't understand it. They hadn't even entered Luowu Ancient City yet, and one strange thing after another was happening.

Like Yi Xuan, Shen Yichen felt a sense of defeat!

And most importantly, the old woman actually knew about Star Gazing Mountain, which shocked Shen Yichen the most!

And what about the Five Elements Masters? Shen Yichen confirmed one thing once again: Shan Ruoshui, the woman in the painting of Dubei Temple, really came from Guanxing Mountain!

"Master, what exactly are the Five Elements Executioners?"

Shen Yichen fell into a deep sleep amidst a host of mysteries, knowing that the old man in the blood-red robe had a way to help him repair his bloodline.

"Hey, hey, wake up! You're really sleeping soundly? You're so carefree!"

Mu Qingxue finished her practice and woke Shen Yichen up. The old man in the blood-red robe was still practicing.

"What if I don't sleep? You... you don't still want to sleep, do you?"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue, these two oddballs, both turned their heads away at the same time, they were both very shy!

"What are you thinking? I called you to discuss whether we should run away!"

Mu Qingxue's face burned.

Shen Yichen felt that he was right; Mu Qingxue's gaze at him just now did indeed have that kind of meaning.

"Qingxue, use your brain, okay? Do you think you can get me away like this? Why would he save us for no reason? Especially not at the risk of his own life? Let's wait and see. If he doesn't kill us, we can talk!"

"Young Master Shen is truly becoming more and more mature. However, this girl's idea is not wrong. Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is instinct, and escaping is an option. Isn't that what Young Master Shen has always done in Jianying City? It seems that Young Master Shen is going to change his attitude towards the martial world. I congratulate Young Master Shen in advance!"

The old man in the blood-red robe opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue with a kind smile.

Although the smile was kind, both Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue felt a chill run down their spines.

Mu Qingxue's true energy surged, protecting Shen Yichen in front of her.

"Qingxue, put it away, put it away. We should be more polite to our senior. Since the knife is in his hands, we should be prepared to cook the fish as he pleases!"

Mu Qingxue and the old man in the blood-red robe both laughed!

Mu Qingxue truly withdrew her true energy and said with a smile:

"Senior, please give your name. If you're an enemy, I'll dig a grave for you; if you're a friend, I'll erect a monument for you!"
