Chapter 152: Jin Hong

Liu Yifeng sighed and said, "I didn't die ten-plus years ago, but was fed a poison similar to fake death by that person named Wan Juan. I could even hear his conversation with Qingzhu clearly."

"When I heard Wan Juan say he wanted to use Qingzhu's blood for a sacrifice, I fainted from grief. When I woke up again, I had already become an Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon."

Lv Fang pressed, "Then what about Wan Juan? How could he disappear for no reason? In that Punishment Ground, there was no existence of him at all."

Liu Yifeng shook his head, "I'm not very clear about what happened to Wan Juan, but when I first became an Ox-Horned Red-Eyed Demon, I once had a brief conversation with him."

"He seemed very uncomfortable, saying something about his consciousness gradually disappearing."

"At that time, his thoughts were extremely chaotic, so what he said was disjointed, and plus he was speaking Western Region language, so I wasn't very clear either."

"By the time my consciousness fainted and woke up for the second time, ten-plus years had passed, and I never had a conversation with him again."

Zhao Qingzhu was very smart. Hearing Lv Fang's questioning, she immediately understood that he was suspicious of Liu Yifeng's identity. She said firmly:

"He must be Yifeng, there's no mistake. If he really were Wan Juan, he wouldn't have let me kill him to leave the Punishment Ground."

"And, at that time, his tears fell on me, and I understood everything at once. There's no mistake."

Lv Fang nodded. He thought about it carefully. Everything that happened was indeed like this. The reason he asked this was, rather than saying he was confirming Liu Yifeng, it was better to say he was confirming his own guess.

Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, he confirmed one thing: the Demon Heart in his body might be Wan Juan.

That sacrifice ten-plus years ago was caused by Wan Juan.

Liu Yifeng and Zhao Qingzhu were both in the Punishment Ground; he shouldn't have just disappeared like that. Thinking about it, there was only that Demon Heart.

"Are you Wan Juan? The sacrificer from ten years ago?"

Lv Fang asked in his heart.

Demon Heart smiled and said, "He was just a believer; how could he be my great Demon Heart? Thanks to his life, I was able to come to this place."

"What do you mean?"

Lv Fang asked in confusion.

Demon Heart was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I wanted to wait until you were stronger before telling you, but since you asked, I don't want to lie, so I can tell you truthfully."

"Do you know about 'Punishment'?"

"You shouldn't have heard of it. I can tell you that Punishment is very powerful, so powerful that you can't imagine, and I am its heart."

"When that person named Wan Juan was sacrificing to Punishment, the great Punishment decided to let me, this heart, enter this world from the cracks of faith. However, because a small accident happened, Wan Juan's consciousness entered this heart."

"Unfortunately, he was a weak consciousness and couldn't bear my energy at all. Gradually, his consciousness dissipated."

"And I existed in Liu Yifeng's body in the Punishment Ground. You should still remember those chains; that is the restraint of the Heavenly Dao of this world on me."

"It is because of you that I was able to break away from that state. If I have to say it, I should thank you."

Lv Fang nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Who built the laws of that Punishment Ground?"

Demon Heart: "Naturally, it was caused by Liu Yifeng and Punishment."

Lv Fang frowned and said, "Can that Punishment sense you? Will it appear in this world one day to look for you?"

Demon Heart: "It's very difficult. Wanting to come out from that place is harder than you imagine."

Lv Fang was silent. If the Demon Heart's words were true, that unknown existence called Punishment could possibly come to this world.

However, he wasn't particularly worried. The Demon Heart was restricted by the Heavenly Dao of this world, let alone Punishment. Even if it came, it would likely be severely restricted.

After the conversation, Lv Fang also felt a bit of a stir in his heart. Perhaps the Blue Star of his past life was also a Lower Upper Realm.

Perhaps one day, he could return there, who knows.

This world seemed to be more complex than he had imagined.

After rescuing Liu Yifeng and Zhao Qingzhu from the Punishment Ground, Lv Fang no longer had any pressure. Later, he went to that Lotus Pond special place again, but Li Yu was no longer there.

It was estimated that this special place was of no help to her cultivation.

Liu Yifeng and Zhao Qingzhu were both of Fourth Rank strength. Cultivating in the Lotus Pond had progress, but the effect was not particularly great.

Lv Fang calculated that there wasn't much time left in the trial ground.

Simply, the three of them stayed in the Lotus Pond, quietly waiting to be transmitted back.

On the forty-fifth day of entering the trial ground, everyone flashed with spiritual light and was transmitted back. Because Lv Fang had thought of it before, he had asked for two extra temporary transmission talismans, and Zhao Qingzhu and Liu Yifeng were also successfully transmitted out.

After learning about Zhao Qingzhu and Liu Yifeng, the Abbot of the Buddha Protection Temple personally received the three of them.

He didn't say anything, just asked about the ins and outs of Zhao Qingzhu being trapped, and the origin of Lv Fang and the Semi-Buddha Wu Zhi.

Leaving the Buddha Protection Temple.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lv, for really saving the people. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to do it."

Fang Chun said with a smile.

Lv Fang glanced at her and nodded. This woman sent by the Semi-Buddha Wu Zhi was quite well-informed. As soon as he stepped out of the temple gate, she knew everything.

It had to be said that she was quite thorough in doing things.

He didn't need to say anything; she had already prepared two carriages.

Zhao Qingzhu and Liu Yifeng took one, and Lv Fang and Fang Chun took the other. In the carriage, Fang Chun talked about what had happened in the Buddha Capital over these forty-five days, basically all about the people he cared about.

After listening, Lv Fang smiled and said, "I am really curious about your identity. When we first met, you seemed to say that the Semi-Buddha Wu Zhi sent you. What is your relationship with him?"

Fang Chun was stunned. Clearly, she didn't expect Lv Fang to ask this. After organizing her language, she said:

"I am just a female official of the Buddha Kingdom, mainly managing some miscellaneous affairs in the palace. Because I was favored by Princess Jin Hong of the royal family, when the Semi-Buddha Wu Zhi wanted to send someone to negotiate with Young Master Lv, the Princess recommended me."

"Originally, with my status, it wouldn't have been my turn to contact the Young Master."

"However, considering that my origin is also Great Zhou, I was sent in the end. Counting it up, I am just a messenger for both sides, and the decisions are basically made by Princess Jin Hong."

"Princess Jin Hong?" Lv Fang nodded and smiled, "Are you interested in going to Great Zhou? Be my right-hand man? The treatment will definitely be better than here."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Young Master, but I cannot make the decision. After all, I am a female official. If I want to leave the palace, I need special approval from people in the palace."

Fang Chun replied with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 153 =====
