The Ye Family was reunited after a long time. Although it was not a family reunion, it was still a joyous occasion. No one mentioned anything about the outside world. They just enjoyed the rare moment of familial bliss.
On the other side, in Huang Fuchen's study.
He sat behind the desk with his head down, silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ah Bu stood beside him. Seeing Huang Fuchen like this, she didn't know what to do.
After some time, there was a knock on the door of the study. Wu Sheng and Fanfan pushed the door open and walked in. They bowed to Huang Fuchen and didn't speak either. They stood opposite Ah Bu and looked at Huang Fuchen in silence.
"Who am I? Why do you want to stay by my side? " Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice. He was not stupid. Although he had never seen a great demonic beast and didn't have the so-called cultivation or spiritual power, he could see the attitude of others.
He believed Ye Zhen's words. There must be a reason why Ah Bu captured Guan Jie. It was even more suspicious for her to pretend to be mute and suddenly appear by his side. Moreover, there were strange changes in China. Why were there demonic beasts everywhere in the Central Plains but not in China? No, that's not right. There were demonic beasts in China. Ye Chundong had told him that the double-eared cat on the boat was a demonic beast that could grow bigger than a bear.
Therefore, there were demonic beasts in China, but they didn't dare to cause trouble. There must be a stronger force suppressing them. What kind of existence was this force? It was very obvious now.
Ye Zhen said that Ah Bu was a great ancient demonic beast, a mermaid. She was one of the top ten demonic beasts and ranked in the top three.
Huang Fuchen was suspicious at first. After all, Ah Bu looked weak and petite. She didn't look like a terrifying great demonic beast. Even if she was a mermaid, she couldn't be considered a great demonic beast.
However, when he arrived at the Heavenly Citadel today, Huangfu Chen felt an inexplicable force attracting him. He realized that he might have something to do with the people from the antiquity times. There must be a reason why Ah Bu stayed by his side.
So, who was he exactly?
He wasn't surprised that Wu Sheng and Fanfan would appear. However, their appearance made Huang Fuchen even more suspicious of his identity.
How could he be … the terrifying Wen Tian that Ye Zhen had mentioned?
"I can't tell you yet," Ah Bu said in a low voice.
"Do you really think I can't guess?" Huangfu Chen smiled faintly, but it was not a smile that reached his eyes. He was angry that Abdo was still hiding things from him. Even Wosheng and Fanfan could see through it, but she still refused to say anything.
Huangfu Chen couldn't figure out what was the relationship between him and Wen Tian. He was just a mortal who knew a little martial arts. If there were no accidents, he would live in seclusion on Burning Ocean Island for the rest of his life. He would occasionally go to the sea for a walk, and he wouldn't achieve much in his life. But who was Wen Tian? That was an ancient demonic beast, the Soaring Serpent that only existed in myths and legends.
He was a mortal, how could he be a Venomous Snake?
Ah Bu lowered his head and said nothing.
Fanfan stepped forward anxiously. "Ah no, say something. Why are there two High Lords?"
She and Wo Sheng had always thought that Guan Jie was the Supreme Lord. Not only her, even Shu Li and the others thought that Guan Jie was the Supreme Lord they were looking for. Later on, they met Bi, but Bi said that the Supreme Lord would never wake up because he lacked a heart and soul.
They didn't know what that meant, but they heard about Abdo.
Guan Jie and Huangfu Chen … they might both be related to the Supreme Lord, but only Abdo knew what their relationship was.
Before today, they only had doubts, but after going to the Heaven Castle, they were sure of Huangfu Chen's identity.
Others might not feel it, but they had lived in the Heaven Castle for a long time. They knew that when they appeared today, the entire demonic power in the Heaven Castle was activated, as if it was welcoming the return of its master.
The demonic power in the Heaven Castle was set up by the Supreme Lord himself, so it was connected to the Supreme Lord. Only when the Supreme Lord appeared would everything awaken.
"What are you doing here?" Abdo looked at Wosheng and the others coldly, dissatisfied with their arrival.
"We want to know the answer," Wosheng said indifferently.
Fanfan nodded hard. "We want to know why there are two Supreme Lords."
"There are no two Supreme Lords," Abdo said coldly.
Wosheng looked at Huangfu Chen. The demonic power awakening in the Heaven Castle couldn't fool anyone. Huangfu Chen was definitely not a mortal.
Based on Abdo's attitude, he felt that Huangfu Chen was definitely the Supreme Lord.
"Abdo, if you don't want to tell the truth, then don't talk to me from now on." Huangfu Chen's voice was calm. He didn't like being led by others, and he didn't want others to control everything about him.
Even if he really was related to Wen Tian and the Heaven Castle, he should be the one to decide the extent of his relationship with the Supreme Lord.
Hearing Huangfu Chen's words, Abdo's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but it wasn't the time. The other great demons hadn't returned yet. At least, she had to wait until they killed all the reincarnated God Generals to prevent them from returning to the Nine Skies. Then, she could let others know about the Supreme Lord.
More importantly, she wasn't sure if the great demons in the human continent were still loyal.
"Between Guan Jie and Huangfu Chen, who is the Heart Soul, and who is the Supreme Lord?" Wosheng suddenly asked.
Ah Bu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wo Sheng. The shock in his eyes confirmed that Wo Sheng had guessed correctly.
Huangfu Chen asked, "What Heart Soul?"
"When the Supreme Lord's body was destroyed and his soul was sealed, he split the Heart Soul and the Body Soul. The Heart Soul is all the Supreme Lord's memory. The Supreme Lord can only be completely awakened after finding the Heart Soul," Wosheng said.
He guessed that either Guan Jie or Huangfu Chen was the heart soul because Ah Bu had captured Guan Jie and insisted on staying by Huangfu Chen's side. Therefore, both of them must be related to the High Lord.
But only Ah Bu knew what the truth was.
"What about Guan Jie?" Huangfu Chen looked at Abdo.
Abdo turned her face away stubbornly. "I told you, it's not time yet."
"How long?" Wosheng asked. "All the Blood Demons have awakened, and all the great demons have come to the human continent. We're all waiting for the Supreme Lord."
"The Nine Skies haven't made a move yet, and the Dragon Clan is nowhere to be found. No one knows what the Supreme Lord will face when he wakes up. We have to at least get rid of the threat before the Supreme Lord can …" Abdo thought of the tragic last battle. She really didn't want Wen Tian to experience it again.
Wosheng said, "These are not reasons. You just don't want the Supreme Lord to think of Little Yao. You don't want the Supreme Lord to see Little Yao."
"What else can she do besides injuring the Supreme Lord?" Abdo said coldly. "Even if she's your sister, I still think so. One day, I'll kill her."
To prevent her from injuring the Supreme Lord again.
Huangfu Chen stood up and said to Wosheng, "Bring me to the Heavenly Castle."
"What … What are you going to do?" Abdo asked hurriedly.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I'll find the answer myself," Huangfu Chen said calmly.
