Chapter 84: Investigation
Lin Yunyou never wanted to hide anything from Ning Guang. One, because the situation was beyond saving, two, because members of the witch race were unable to resist their own god, and three, because of that lingering tether of love in her heart that no one could cut.

She told them a very long story. Ning Guang ignored all the touching details, only finding one point of importance in the whole sequence of nonsense.

When she was the ancient witch, she had taken in an orphan girl. She had raised this orphan into her own person, and had even died because of her.

As for the reason why, Lin Yunyou told them as well. It was because the orphan held the secret to ascending to immortality.

Ning Guang scoffed, a hint of derision showing on her apathetic face. “Why are you making up this whole tale? Do you want to make us waste our time exposing you?”

Lin Yunyou trembled, and she suddenly raised her voice, some false bravado in the piercing vitriol. “I wasn’t lying to you, clan leader, clan leader! I was truly focused on finding you, I wanted to help you retake everything and let our witch race stand once again at the top of this world, how could you not believe me!”

“Why should I believe your lies?”

Ning Guang didn’t even spare her a glance. “To hold the secret to ascension, with your level of ability? Ha…” She didn’t continue, but that scoff already held all her derision. Ning Guang didn’t want to waste any more time on her. She released the oppressive aura of the ancient witch, pressing down upon her body.

“If you don’t want to tell, I’ll look myself. The witch race has been extinct for so long, what does one more survivor matter? You can die with the rest.” After she spoke, all of the ancient witch’s oppressive aura pressed into Lin Yunyou’s spiritual sense.

She was a bit panicked at first, but then she began to smile.

Seeing her like that, Di Jiufeng’s heart clenched. She grabbed Ning Guang’s arm, wanting to stop her, but unable to do so in time.

Under the pressure of the ancient witch’s aura, Lin Yunyou’s memories leaked out without reserve, scene after scene flashing before their eyes. The scenes looked very real, but they had clear logical gaps, like they had been assembled by force, full of a far-fetched attempt to believe their own lies.

Lin Yunyou’s memories were just as she had described, but she knew nothing of the method to ascend to immortality.

And, these memories were not entirely coherent. As everything happened, there was always a person hiding off to the side, their face out of sight, lowly and insignificant, down in the dirt.

Lin Yunyou’s memories were not complicated. Other than the years she had spent with the ancient witch, they consisted only of her plotting scene after scene to draw the ancient witch to the demon realm.

First, it was cajoling Ming Cang into planting the demonic seed in Di Jiufeng’s body.
