Chapter 65: The Ancient Witch’s Core
Someone had just happened to send Lin Hao here, coincidentally allowing Ning Guang to discover the ancient witch’s core. Di Jiufeng felt that this could not be explained away as coincidence any longer. The most reasonable explanation she could think of was that that person wanted to help Ning Guang.

But why, and who could it be? And, what was their relationship to Ning Guang?

Di Jiufeng looked down and pressed her toes together. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and turned to Ning Guang, “Say, not only does that person know your identity, they even went to all this trouble to send the core to you. Is it possible that they knew you from the start? Could they be… a survivor of the witch tribe?”

“It’s not possible,” Ning Guang said, “The witch tribe was exterminated long ago. After the ancient witch’s fall, every single member of the witch tribe was killed. Maybe they know me, but they definitely are not a member of the witch tribe. And, A-Feng, have you considered that though that person found the ancient witch’s core, they might not have done it for me?”

Ning Guang was a homeless wanderer in her youth. Aside from cultivation, most of her time was spent avoiding bullying from others; she had never met a demon.

Afterwards, when Di Jiufeng had brought her back to the sect, they had been like twin lotus flowers on one stalk; they had not been separated for a moment. Every person she had met Di Jiufeng had met as well, many of every shape and color, all except demonic cultivators.

Ning Guang was sure that no demon would be helping her from the shadows. But Di Jiufeng was overflowing with demonic energy, more pure than even that ancient blood demon. The demon race was a race which valued heritage very much. High-level demons had the natural ability to make mixed-blooded demonic cultivators submit to them. They could even strip lower-level demons of their cultivation.

The blood demon soul had perished at Di Jiufeng’s hands in that manner.

Ning Guang had not thought much of it at the time, but now, everything was coming together and she was beginning to have some suspicions.

She asked, “A-Feng, we have known each other for so long, but you have never told me about your parents. Are they still well?”

Di Jiufeng was struck speechless.

Though she had received the original’s memories, it seemed as if everything about her parents was missing since the start. The original either did not have parents or was abandoned, Di Jiufeng was unsure. Either way, in her mind, the only memory relating to this was a vague sense that she was an orphan.

This was very strange. Even if she was an orphan, she would have been abandoned at some point, she couldn’t have just appeared in the sect.

So, what had happened before she entered the sect?

Following her memories back, everything abruptly came to a stop when she was seven years old. What had happened before, what sort of person she was, everything was covered in dense fog.
