When Mo Qianqiu opened his eyes, he saw a world of pitch black. He was momentarily unable to react, but the pain that felt like his entire body was being crushed forced him to realize that he was not dead. In fact, his damaged dantian and meridians had been repaired by 60-70%!
Mo Qianqiu did not speak immediately. He sat quietly against the wall, carefully exploring the surrounding environment.
In fact, there was nothing to explore here. It was just the small space he had opened up. After all the light was taken away by "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day", there were only him and Jin Li here.
Mo Qianqiu didn't hear Jin Li's voice. He used his spiritual sense to scan the area and quickly discovered that Jin Li was still sitting in his original position, head bowed, lost in thought. Jin Li's breathing was so weak it was almost inaudible. Mo Qianqiu tried to speak, but his throat was so hoarse and dry that even speaking was difficult.
Then the next moment, he suddenly heard a soft heartbeat.
Plop, plop.
In his chest, where the blood flows, a living heart is beating non-stop.
Mo Qianqiu's eyes suddenly widened. He felt the sound coming from his chest in disbelief, and felt the rhythm of blood flowing in his veins, into his heart, and then flowing out.
A heart that did not belong to him was beating steadily in his chest. This heart was completely unfamiliar, yet powerful vitality emanated from it, repairing his already shattered meridians and Dantian at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The way of heaven favors the divine beasts, and the dragon clan is born at the seventh level, with bodies as strong as black iron.
Mo Qianqiu understood almost immediately who the heart belonged to.
He had personally dug this heart out of its owner's chest. Although it seemed a little strange now, the familiar aura made Mo Qianqiu know immediately: it belonged to Jin Li!
His throat was so hoarse that he couldn't utter a single word. However, even so, Mo Qianqiu stretched out his hand with all his might towards the demon lord who was sitting ten feet away from him, and almost squeezed out the words from his throat: "What... is this... ah!"
At this moment, an extremely cold force erupted from his heart and suddenly rushed to Mo Qianqiu's right eye. He was about to fall down, but someone suddenly grabbed his hand and gently pushed him back to his original position. He leaned against the wall to endure the pain that overturned everything.
His right eye felt as if it had been crushed by a massive hand, a searing flame instantly devouring everything. Such pain would undoubtedly rank among the top three pains Mo Qianqiu had ever experienced. He bit his lip tightly, not even a trembling sound escaping his lips, but blood was already oozing from his right eye, glaring across his pale face.
In the end, Mo Qianqiu fainted from the pain. When he woke up, he felt his right eye was extremely clear.
His Dantian and meridians had almost recovered, and he already had the strength to stand up, but he didn't move. Instead, he slowly clenched his fingers and asked word by word: "Why...save me!"
There was no smile on Mo Qianqiu's face and his tone was solemn and stern.
He rarely looked so serious. His fingers were clenched so tightly that his nails were digging into his palms. But the only response was a long silence. Jin Li did not answer, but continued to sit calmly by the side, as if the loss of a heart had no effect on him at all.
Losing a heart would definitely have a huge impact on a divine beast.
Mo Qianqiu had long noticed that Jin Li's cultivation seemed to be declining slightly. Originally, he had reached the Half-Step Divine Transformation realm, but now he was only at the late Great Perfection stage of the Mahayana. Even with the demon core, the damage wasn't as severe as it had been a thousand years ago, but he still had a weakened aura and showed some injuries.
This was the first time Mo Qianqiu was so patient. He gritted his teeth and asked again, "Why did you save me?"
At this point, Jin Li finally spoke. His voice was as cold and distant as ever, but even as he spoke quietly, he felt a sense of peace and dignity, like the noble demeanor of a divine beast.
"Actually, I'm not interested in a war between the two tribes." Jin Li said casually, "If Longzhao doesn't tell me, I won't enter the battlefield."
The Demon Lord Longzhao died nine hundred years ago. Before the advancement of Old Dujuetian, he was the last Heavenly Rank Demon Lord of the demon clan.
Mo Qianqiu seemed to have sensed something, and after a long moment he said, "Why did you save me?"
Jin Li did not answer him, but continued: "I didn't hate you before."
Mo Qianqiu whispered, "...before I take away your demon pill and heart?"
"Before this."
Mo Qianqiu asked again: "Then why did you save me?" And at such a huge price!
"Before his death, Long Zhao once said that among the human race, although Wu Xiaozi of Taihua Mountain was slightly higher in realm than him, he was not a threat; he was just an old man who was about to die. You are the biggest hidden danger to the demon race in the future. He repeatedly called me away from Dragon Island just to kill you."
Listening to Jin Li speak is an extremely enjoyable experience.
His voice was very soft, neither hurried nor slow, and he spoke seriously, as if he was telling a story.
Jin Li talked about what happened a thousand years ago. Perhaps it was because of the heart in his chest, out of vigilance or guilt, but Mo Qianqiu actually listened to everything he said. As he talked, he even remembered things that he had forgotten.
The war between humans and demons has almost never stopped, except for the last hundred years.
The further they advanced, the stronger the two tribes grew, and the more intense the conflict became. A thousand years ago, Mo Qianqiu, a demon cultivator in the late Mahayana stage, entered the battlefield between the two tribes with almost no hesitation, slaying tens of thousands of demon beasts, including many high-level ones.
