The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Inside the room, Wen Li highlighted several time points.

“Song Nan went missing when he was seven years old and was bought back by the Song family when he was nine. At that time, he was starving and freezing. In the two years, he not only did not grow much taller, but also became thin and small. The Song family thought he was the same age as Song Qinghuan, so he was two years younger than the lost Jiang Yanqing.”

Wen Li was somewhat annoyed. Why hadn't she asked more carefully back then? And that jade pendant—she had spent so much time with Aunt Song, why hadn't she ever seen it before!

Shen Yingsi added: "Song Nan is seven years old. That year, the Jiang family led troops to attack Yueban. What's strange is that Jiang Jingshan brought everyone in the Jiang family to Yueban, including young children, even children from collateral branches and infants still in swaddling clothes to the battlefield."

"Many members of the Jiang family died in this battle, and Song Nan was lost on the way to Yueban. But how could someone of such high status be lost so easily? Unless someone deliberately wanted to cause him trouble."

Wen Li looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said, "Is it just targeting his identity as the third young master of the Jiang family? Perhaps their purpose is this jade pendant. Ah Si, this jade pendant is very strange. It should be a divine object, yet it can sense the evil spirits within my body."

“Ah Li, that’s a demon bone.”

"Demon Bones?"

Shen Yingsi looked at her and said worriedly, "The demon bones left behind by the Demon Lord ten thousand years ago. It is said that the Demon Lord briefly appeared in the world five hundred years ago, but was quickly killed by Jiang Jiu, the sect leader of Jiujiang Sect, and the two perished together."

“Ali, we must remove the demonic bone from your body as soon as possible; it’s no good.”

Wen Li comforted her, "Don't worry, I still have this jade pendant."

Shen Yingsi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, his worry only increasing.

Wen Li: "What else could be so important that Song Nan, who had already decided to stay in the valley for the rest of his life, would still come out to complete it, especially since this matter is indispensable to him and concerns the Three Realms?"

"Look, in that year, Jiang Jingshan led demon hunters from various families to Ghost Valley, and at the same time, Jiang Jingshan died in Ghost Valley. And where was Song Nan that year?"

"Including where he is now?"

Wen Li clenched her fists, her mind a jumbled mess. So much time had passed; she hadn't even been born when they died. She had no idea what kind of people they were or what they would do.

Shen Yingsi gently placed his hand on hers, his voice warm: "Ali, based on the words Aunt Song has written to Song Nan intermittently over the past twenty-three years, what kind of person do you think Song Nan is?"

Wen Li calmed down and pondered quietly, "A young man with lofty ambitions and a refusal to be mediocre. Aunt Song said he was very similar to me, so even if the Jiang family bears a bad reputation, he will not hide and live his life in seclusion."

“My mother always wanted to tell me everything about the Jiang family since I was little, but she only told my third uncle that he was lost. So she didn’t know that he had been found. What Song Nan was doing was very important, and he didn’t even tell the Jiang family, including my maternal grandfather. And Song Nan must have failed in this matter. If he had succeeded, he would have returned to the Jiang family, but he didn’t.”

He died that year.

Shen Yingsi nodded, then squeezed her trembling hand and asked, "Then, Ali, what kind of person is Aunt Song?"

Wen Li thought of Aunt Song's appearance and said, "Aunt Song is completely different from Song Nan. She is not enthusiastic about exorcising demons. She may have just picked up the sword to get closer to Song Nan. She knows how to protect herself. If we encounter danger, she will stop us and tell us to act within our capabilities."

"She is not an impulsive person, but she can do impulsive things for people she cares about."

"She must have entered the city early because of Song Nan. Those skeletons had their remnants of souls locked up, lacking their own complete thoughts. Their eating and killing were incredibly dull. Moreover, they had neither demonic nor spiritual power. Aunt Song shouldn't have been dragged down. Even if she accidentally went down, she should have been able to fight her way back up. But she died like that..."

"So she jumped down willingly, and inside... inside are Song Nan's remains..."

A tear slid down Wen Li's face as she continued, "Song Nan died at Yueban's hands, at Xi Yu's hands. What he wanted to do was obtain the Demon Bone."

Shen Yingsi gently wiped her face and said, "Ali is very smart, so don't worry, we will definitely find the truth."

Wen Li nodded, searching for the truth, which had filled almost her entire life.

"Wang!"

The second master, holding onto the hem of her clothes, jumped high, and a dog's paw climbed onto her hand.

Wen Li saw that the Second Master's expression had softened, "My Second Master is helping me too..."

"Woof! Woof woof..."

Now that Song Nan's death has been confirmed, the next step is Jiang Jingshan's death.

The truth must be hidden in Danli Ghost Valley...

*

Smoke filled the city, and if you got too close, you could hear the sounds of fighting and screams coming from within...

To be honest, Song Qinghuan was still a little scared, but the jade pendant in her hand seemed to sense something, it was getting hot and vibrating constantly.

Song Qinghuan tried to get closer to Yue Ban and found that the sensation had become stronger.

This jade pendant has never been like this before, could it be...?

Song Qinghuan couldn't care less about anything else now; what if Song Nan really was inside?

It's so dangerous inside!

With that thought in mind, Song Qinghuan no longer hesitated and rode her horse inside.

The city was now a living hell; Song Qinghuan had never seen so many demons! There were also many moving corpses.

This made her even more worried. Where was Song Nan?

The jade pendant's influence grew stronger, and Song Qinghuan continued forward, leaping over a pit of corpses. She was stopped by a monster, and her horse was startled, causing her to fall off.

The demon blocked her way, and almost simultaneously her left hand was grabbed—no! It was a skeleton!

She looked back and saw that several ghostly skeletons were about to drag her down! The demons in front of her were also quite powerful.

She could only deal with the demon in front of her, but strangely, a tall skeleton suddenly appeared behind her, blocking the other skeletons.

Song Qinghuan wasn't dragged down. She swung her sword and dealt with the demon. Suddenly, her body was grabbed by the tall skeleton, and she couldn't move for a moment. The skeleton seemed very happy, stroking her head with its bone hand, then carefully stroking her face, gently touching under her eyes.

Song Qinghuan was terrified. She turned around and kicked the body back into the pit with all her might. Then she turned and ran forward, but after only a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She looked down and carefully examined the jade pendant she was holding tightly in her hand.

Was that skeleton saving me? Did it hug me? Was it comforting me? Was that gesture... wiping away my tears?

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into Song Qinghuan's mind, but the jade pendant in her hand was the one Song Nan had given her. The direction it was sensing was wrong; the direction the jade pendant was sensing should still be forward.

But... but that ghost skeleton just now! That ghost skeleton! That...

The jade pendant in her hand was urging her forward, but her heart was urging her to go back and take a look!

Song Qinghuan turned around and stared intently at the ghostly skeleton that was almost submerged in the pile of skulls.

He's no different from the other skeletons, is he? They're all exactly the same, but he...

Song Qinghuan desperately tried to refute her own thoughts, but she inexplicably felt that this skeleton was different!

The two dark holes in the skull seemed to be sucking her in. He reached out to her, he…

Is he Song Nan?

Is he Song Nan?

Song Qinghuan rushed into the pile of corpses without hesitation, reaching out to pull him out, but the other ghost skeletons instantly surrounded her and began to tear her apart...

"what……"

A piercing scream rang out. Wen Li, on the distant rooftop, turned around, but saw nothing; the person had already been buried under bones…
