Everyone else was stunned. Only Xiao Chen’s face was calm, as if he had already guessed it.

There was a bloody hole on Han Tiangu’s chest that looked exactly like the Evil Fiend King’s. There was no heart inside, and only strands of black and red demonic energy wrapped around his bloodline. It was both terrifying and strange.

“How could this be …”

Ji Wuyan muttered to himself. He couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him. Could it be that Wuchang Daojun and the Underworld Fire Evil God had already lost their hearts? However, without a heart, how did they survive these three hundred years, and how did they manage to look completely unharmed?

Han Tiangu slowly buttoned up his shirt and expressionlessly said, “Did you see …”

“What exactly is going on?”

Daoist Gui’s expression became very serious. Han Tiangu’s eyes slowly calmed down and he slowly said, “We encountered a devil inside that hasn’t completely died. At that time, we thought we could defeat him, but we were too naive …”

“Demon …”

Ji Wuyan’s expression changed slightly. The devil Han Tiangu was referring to right now was obviously not someone who cultivated devil in the mortal world. Instead, it was probably a devil in the real sense, a great devil from ancient times …

“That’s right …”

Han Tiangu’s body trembled, as if he had seen that terrifying scene of despair. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly stabilized his mood. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and continued, “We didn’t even see the demon’s appearance. Only a single demonic sense, a single demonic sense, trapped all of us …”

Hearing this, the few people outside the pavilion couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Just what kind of demon was it that was so terrifying? On that day, there were ten Soul Formation cultivators who entered the pavilion …

A single strand of demonic sense was already so powerful, then how could his true self possibly be an unimaginable existence? He was afraid that he would have already surpassed the Three Realms.

Han Tiangu took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand. He placed his palm lightly on his chest and slowly said, “The devil has taken away the hearts of all of us.”

“This …”

Ji Wuyan’s body trembled slightly and she asked, “Then … how did you all survive until now?”

“Live till now?”

Han Tiangu smiled pale, “Is this considered living? Hall Master Ji, didn’t you see the demonic energy just now?”

Ji Wuyan couldn’t help but be stunned when she remembered the black and red demonic energy in his chest, could it be …

“That’s right.”

Han Tiangu took a deep breath and slowly said, “We are contaminated by that demonic sense. This trace of demonic sense seems to have become symbiotic with us, giving us the ability to live forever. However, I know that one day, this trace of demonic sense will completely devour us … It’s like robbing us.”

After listening to him speak slowly, not only did Ji Wuyan reveal a shocked expression this time, the faces of the Profound Fire Sect Master and the others revealed expressions of disbelief, and their bodies started to tremble slightly.

Han Tiangu slowly looked at Xiao Chen. “You just said that You Xie Sha went crazy because he had resisted the invasion of this trace of demonic sense for a long time, until he fell into confusion. You said that he seemed to be controlled by something. That’s because he was temporarily possessed of his primordial spirit by the demonic sense …”

Xiao Chen listened to him slowly and didn’t say anything. At this moment, Ji Wuyan slowly took two steps forward and looked at him and asked, “Why … that devil, he wants to take your hearts away?”

Han Tiangu withdrew his gaze from Xiao Chen and looked at her, “A devil has ten thousand methods to kill. Does he need a reason?”

Hearing this, everyone was silent. However, at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, “You’re lying.”

Ji Wuyan and the others were slightly stunned. The person who spoke was not anyone else, but Xiao Chen. At this moment, his two gazes were fixed on Han Tian’s lonely body. There were no waves or waves on his face, but his gaze seemed as if he wanted to see through the truth of everything.

Han Tiangu looked at him and his gaze narrowed slightly. “You don’t believe what we just said? Do you think what I just said was just a story that was fabricated and alarmist? Or do you think I intentionally wanted to fabricate such a story to prevent you from entering the forbidden zone …”

At this moment, everyone was silent. Daoist Gui and Ji Wuyan looked at Xiao Chen, Thunderbolt Violet Lightning, Blood Drinking Daoist, the Profound Fire Sect Master, and Unmelted Bone. The four of them looked at Han Tiangu. Ku Chanzi still closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and muttered the Buddhist verse in a low voice.

Only Luo Die stood there in a daze. Things were too chaotic. She was already confused and didn’t know who to look at.

Xiao Chen and Han Tiangu looked at each other, neither dodging nor dodging, and their expressions remained the same as usual. “What you just said is roughly correct, but I think you must have remembered a few things wrong.”

“Tell me …”

Han Tiangu’s gaze became more and more solemn. Xiao Chen slowly said, “Firstly, after you entered the forbidden zone, you did not encounter that devil by chance. It was not that devil who took the initiative to attack you. Rather, you all clearly knew that there was a terrifying existence there, but your hearts were filled with greed. You wanted to find the magic treasures and techniques left behind by the ancient devil gods, so you still went. Therefore, you are not innocent.”

“You …”

Han Tiangu looked at him with a frosty expression. In the end, he sighed and nodded, “That’s right, back then, it was our greed that caused this. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have …”

“Second.”

Xiao Chen didn’t continue to listen to him and directly interrupted, “You and Wuchang Daojun said that if not for a senior using his divine ability to create a crack, the three of you wouldn’t have been able to escape, but I think the real situation on that day should be … You Xie Sha was the one who really escaped through that crack … right?”

“You …”

This time, not only was Han Tiangu’s expression frozen, even Daoist Gui and the others hadn’t expected it. Could it really be like this? Since that was the case, why did the three of them conceal the truth? Why exactly?

At this moment, everyone remained silent and even held their breath. Han Tiangu looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. In the end, his gaze slowly returned to calm. “How did you find out?”

Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged. “When I mentioned the Evil Fiend King to you just now, “Your expression changed drastically. You even said that he actually went out. If you believed that he was dead, why would you say such words? Why would you have such an expression? Because at that moment, you already knew that he wasn’t dead. He really went out through that crack. It’s not that you didn’t believe me, but you didn’t dare believe that he was still alive.”

“You …”

At this moment, Han Tiangu looked at the young man in front of him, speechless. The others beside him were also staring at Xiao Chen without saying a word. At this moment, the same thought came to their hearts: This child is definitely not simple.

Xiao Chen slowly walked forward, his gaze fixed on Han Tiangu. “As for how you came out, if my guess is correct, it was the devil who let you three out … right?”
