However, Chu Yu didn't know much about Lan Jiao, and he couldn't confirm any more information. Based on the information he had, he only knew that Lan Jiao was very likely in Lanzhou City.
He simply didn't know whether the person was dead or alive.
Very few things could elicit such seriousness from Chu Yu; even Yong Heng took it seriously upon hearing his words.
Chu Yu naturally already knew about Yong Heng's situation. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Your tribulation might be related to Lan Jiao."
"Are you telling the truth?" Yong Heng looked at Chu Yu with surprise mixed with a hint of joy.
Chu Yu said carefully, "I can't be sure right now, but if I'm not mistaken, there should be some kind of connection, or rather, a connection, between you and Lan Jiao. Finding her might make everything clear."
Although Chu Yu's answer was uncertain, it rekindled Yong Heng's hope for life. He believed that Chu Yu was not a person who spoke carelessly, and since he said it, he must have some confidence in it.
The problem now is that all they know about Lan Jiao and the others is her name; they know nothing else.
"Is the Lan Jiao you're talking about Princess Lan Jiao of the Demon Clan?"
Little Mengqi, who had been quietly eating nearby, felt that the names they were talking about sounded very familiar. After searching through his inherited memories for a long time, he finally found information about Lan Jiao, but he was not sure, so he tentatively asked her.
"You know her?" Everyone who heard Chu Yu ask this understood that what Xiao Mengqi said might be true, and they all looked at him.
With so many people staring at him, Little Monkey thought he had said something wrong and quickly hid behind the flowers.
Hua gently patted his little head to comfort him, saying, "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid. We just want to know about Lan Jiao. You've never left Yin Ji Tomb before, so how do you know about Lan Jiao?"
Monchi, sensing that no one meant him any harm, slowly emerged from behind Hua and then answered the question Hua had just asked him, "I heard you mention the name Lan Jiao earlier, and it sounded familiar, like I'd heard it somewhere before. I tried looking for it, and finally found it in the legacy my parents left me."
"Xiaoqi, quickly tell us everything you know."
Little Monchi slowly recalled the information about Lan Jiao recorded in his inheritance.
Lan Jiao was a princess of the demon race in ancient times. She was the younger sister of the demon king at that time. Unlike her brother, who loved killing and war, she was kind-hearted and never participated in the war.
In the subsequent battle, the demons were defeated, and the Demon Lord was killed on the spot by the Ancestral God. As a member of the royal family, Lan Jiao should have been killed to prevent future troubles, but the Ancestral God pardoned her because he thought she was kind-hearted and had no evil intentions.
However, the consequences of that centuries-long war between gods and demons were irreversible. Although the war had ended, the disasters it brought were far from over.
Countless dead souls could not find peace, suffering torment day and night, wailing incessantly, their resentment growing. The Three Realms could not bear the disturbance, so Princess Lan Jiao traveled throughout the Three Realms, gathering the good and evil of the Three Realms to create the Heart-Controlling Bell and the Heart-Eating Bell, a pair of supreme treasures.
The benevolence within the Heart-Controlling Bell can soften those resentful and wicked thoughts, while the absolute wickedness within the Heart-Eating Bell can punish those stubborn and heinous evil spirits.
After things calmed down, Lan Jiao disappeared from the Three Realms. It is said that later, someone saw her shaking the Heart-Controlling Bell at the Yellow Springs in the Underworld.
However, this is just hearsay, and it's impossible to tell whether it's true or false...
