Chapter 1014: The Flame Fox Hasn’t Leveled Up

Once all the sacrificial warriors were dead, he could accuse Jun Lin Hall of being cruel and bloodthirsty and rally the various aristocratic families to suppress Jun Lin Hall.
He could not deal with Qian Jiyun alone. But could he not succeed with more people?
He merely needed to be the orioleO and capture Qian Jiyun after he was seriously injured to threaten An Jiuyue and obtain the Life Stone.
However, he knew this was not a foolproof plan.
He had to think of a way to separate Qian Jiyun from An Jiuyue. With the Demon Heart in the picture, the various aristocratic families would not stand a chance, even if they joined forces.
“Go and do something for me.”
There was another subordinate in the cave. Master Ling gestured at him and whispered some instructions into his ear.
The subordinate listened to the instructions, his eyes darting around.
“Yes, Master,” he replied and left.
Master Ling looked at the empty cave with a sinister smile. “Qian Jiyun, I hope you can bear it this time.”
He never intended to take Qian Jiyun’s life, but the woman he brought back just had to be the one he had been looking for!
Before An Jiuyue even returned to Jun Lin Hall, she heard many rumors during the trip back.
“Interesting! Some people actually know about Flame Fox’s existence.”
An Jiuyue, Qian Jiyun, and the others sat in front of a tea stall. She propped her chin with one hand as she listened to the hushed conversation between a group of tea drinkers next to them.
The topic of their conversation was the little Flame Fox, whom she had just found.
“It’s Master Ling.” Qian Jiyun’s expression turned cold.
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. She knew it was Master Ling.
“If he knows about the Flame Fox, he knows that you’re not the Demon Heart.
It seems like he wasn’t just a minor character back then.”
The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she thought about it. She had never heard the High Priest Demon Heart mention this person, so the only plausible explanation was that Master Ling’s status had changed since then.
“It seems like you should investigate Master Ling’s identity after returning to Jun Lin Hall. He won’t be that simple.”
“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun poured her a cup of tea and nodded. “Since he knows the Flame Fox, he definitely knows your identity. You have to be careful in the future.”
“Why should I be careful?” An Jiuyue was amused.
What do I need to be careful of? So what ifhe knows my identity? Since Master Ling knows who I am, he naturally won’t provoke me! Is he not afraid ofdeath? “That guy probably witnessed the annihilation of many aristocratic families
back then, right? He won’t provoke me so easily. Besides, even if he has the guts to provoke me, aren’t you around?”
“Yes, I’m here too.” Qian Jiyun chuckled.
These words were his favorite. As long as he was around, he would not let anyone hurt An Jiuyue.
“Does the Flame Fox not belong to you if it hasn’t leveled up?” he asked.
“You believe that?” An Jiuyue almost burst out laughing.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know what a natal beast is? Even if it’s only an egg, it belongs to me. The High Priest Demon Heart tried so hard back then but failed to subdue it.”
She was not lying at all. When the High Priest Demon Heart’s natal beast died back then, she had made every effort to claim the Flame Fox as her own.
She had even resorted to a forbidden technique. She had thought of everything, but she could not get what she wanted, unfortunately. Hence, she could only take the Life Stone away.
