Every word spoken by the Heart Devil Li Po was correct. His words were like tearing my heart out of my chest, peeling away the outer defenses layer by layer, laying bare the things I myself didn't want to mention, bloody and raw, right before my eyes.

I couldn't help but tremble as the Heart Devil Li Po said with a smile, "It's precisely because you understand Qu Mo that you believe Qu Mo wouldn't betray Li Chunfeng, wouldn't betray Yan Pianxian, for a woman."

"Even if we take a step back and say that Qu Mo was truly blinded by lust back then and committed an irreparable mistake, the relationship between him and Li Chunfeng doesn't add up."

"If the one who made the mistake was Qu Mo, then why wasn't it Li Chunfeng who hated Qu Mo, but Qu Mo who hated Li Chunfeng?"

"When you ate the Ghost King's relic in the broken temple that year, Li Chunfeng had clearly arrived, so why didn't he step out to stop you? And why didn't he come out to see Qu Mo?"

"You must know that Li Chunfeng was entrusting his orphaned child to Qu Mo. Logically speaking, he should have come out to meet Qu Mo, so why was he unwilling to show himself?"

"You're afraid that the one who truly killed Yan Pianxian back then wasn't Qu Mo, but your father, Li Chunfeng!"

The Heart Devil Li Po's voice was like a thunderclap that left me dizzy. I swayed and almost fell to the ground, but the Heart Devil Li Po forcibly pulled me back.

He said coldly, "If the reason why Li Chunfeng and Qu Mo parted ways back then was because Li Chunfeng was at fault, then you won't be able to face the two people closest to you."

"After you came to Tai Qu Mountain, you changed your original strong style and were reluctant to take action for a long time."

"You're not observing the situation; you're afraid!"

"Tie Wa Temple is like a bomb to you, ready to blow you to pieces at any time."

"If possible, you don't want to step into Tie Wa Temple at all, preferring to let everything become an unsolvable mystery rather than face reality."

"But you have no choice but to come. If you don't solve the mystery of Tie Wa Temple, you'll never know who you are or why you became half-human, half-ghost."

The Heart Devil Li Po released his hand that was pressing on me and took steps backward with his hands behind his back: "I can leave you now, but I will come to you at any time!"

"Xu Yulong told you: there is a time to be born, and a place to die. That's because he discovered your fear of Tie Wa Temple."

"He will strike you at the right time and in the right place. At that time, I will come out to find you too!"

After taking a few steps back, the Heart Devil Li Po disappeared from my sight.

I also heard Lin Zhao's voice: "Li Po, Li Po... what's wrong? Wake up!"

After I looked at Lin Zhao with a head full of cold sweat, I immediately turned to look in the direction of the yellow incense.

The yellow incense stick had burned less than a third of the way down.

What I saw just now was all an illusion?

I stared at Ye Yang and said, "Did you talk to me just now? Did you want to exchange pupil techniques with me?"

Ye Yang shook his head with a solemn expression: "Our secret techniques cannot be interchanged. Didn't I tell you that long ago?"

I hurriedly asked, "Then did you just say that you can kill the Heart Devil?"

"I didn't!" Ye Yang shook his head again: "You're not possessed by the Heart Devil, are you?"

I understand!

The moment I threw out the yellow incense, I was entangled by the Heart Devil.

The fact that my and Ye Yang's secret techniques cannot be merged is a trigger point for the Heart Devil.

I had thought about this problem before, but Ye Yang and I didn't think about it in depth. The Heart Devil used this illusion to make me lose my mind and stand before me.

Lin Zhao said anxiously, "Li Po, what did you see just now? Tell us quickly. Maybe we can help you!"

I slowly told them everything I had seen, and everyone was speechless.

Even as friends who have gone through life and death together, it's not easy to casually comment on this kind of thing!

Ye Yang hesitated for a long time before saying, "Stupid dog, have you ever thought that one day we might turn against each other! At that time, who will be right and who will be wrong, and who will be unable to forgive whom?"

"Shut up!" Feng Ruoxing said sharply: "Don't say anything to Li Po now, and don't give him any assumptions. The more you say, the easier it is to trigger his Heart Devil."

"Let him calm down and think about what to do?"

Ye Yang meant well, but he didn't understand the Heart Devil.

After Feng Ruoxing's reminder, Ye Yang stopped talking and just handed me a cigarette.

I lit the cigarette and squatted on the ground, taking a few puffs, but the cigarette didn't bring me any peace at all; instead, it made me more and more irritable.

Whether I'm irritable or thinking about things, I like to tap on things with my hand. This time was no exception. My right hand almost unconsciously tapped on the dagger, and the tapping became faster and faster.

I had just tapped a few times when I heard someone say, "Stop tapping, it's annoying!"

"Heart Devil!" I was suddenly startled.

"Heart Devil, you big-headed ghost! I'm Cang Tianji!" Only then did I hear that the voice that sounded in my mind was Cang Tianji.

"You? How did you pop up?" I couldn't understand why Cang Tianji would suddenly talk to me.
