Chapter 184: Sheng Heng’s Mastermind
Yun Jiao carefully finished reading the letter from the Spirit-Repairing King, and her expression immediately darkened. Her fingers subconsciously tapped against the table, and she stayed silent for a long while.
“Girl, what exactly did the Spirit-Repairing King say?” the old man asked, seeing how serious she looked. “Did that Sheng Heng finally confess?”
“He confessed…” Yun Jiao replied faintly.
“How was it?” Yuan Jiang quickly followed up. “Where did he get the Devouring Beast from?”
Yun Jiao finally set the letter down and looked up at Yuan Jiang. Her gaze deepened as she asked instead, “Uncle Yuan, do you know an immortal named Zhu Yan?”
“Immortal Lord Zhu Yan?!” Yuan Jiang blurted out, confusion flashing across his face, not understanding why she’d suddenly bring that name up.
“You know him?” Yun Jiao asked.
“I’ve only heard of him,” Yuan Jiang said, frowning as he tried to recall what he knew. After a moment, he said in a grave tone, “Immortal Lord Zhu Yan is the War Commander of the Southern Heavenly Court. He’s known for his… fiery temper. I’m from the Eastern Court, so I don’t know much beyond that.”
“There are divisions in the Heavenly Realm?” the old man asked, puzzled.
