Worldwide Simulation Era

Zhao Yan had wanted to comfort Zhao Yu, but she did not expect herself to be uncertain.

She could feel that a part of her soul was missing, but she didn't feel anything other than weakness.

Even her memory was coherent. She could remember everything except what happened after she fell unconscious in Tata Village.

She only had no impression of the things that Zhao Yu had said.

She did not think Zhao Yu would lie to her, nor did she think that Hall Master Zhan would lie to Zhao Yu.

However, because of this, many doubts and contradictions arose.

Zhao Yu grabbed Zhao Yan and examined her even more carefully.

This time, she noticed many cracks in Zhao Yan's soul. The cracks were so dense that they almost covered her entire soul.

However, the cracks weren't completely broken. Instead, there were traces of connection.

The broken parts were like a spider web and were connected in a pattern.

"How did this happen?"

Zhao Yu wasn't proficient in the soul, so she couldn't figure out how the injury had been formed, much less how to heal it.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled what Wan Meng had said about Lin Qiye healing Zhao Yan. She immediately turned to look at Lin Qiye and said, "Please save my sister. I'll do anything you want!"

Out of all the people she knew, no one could heal a wound on the soul. Therefore, she could only place her last hope on Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye shook his head.

"Her soul structure is complete, and the missing parts may slowly heal. As for healing and repairing... I can't do it."

Since Zhu Yuheng was severely injured and only had a wisp of her soul left, Lin Qiye never stopped researching the soul.

After so many years, he had some achievements in this area.

However, he was still powerless to repair her soul.

"But don't worry, I've checked her condition carefully. Since she's awake now, those injuries didn't affect her badly. Moreover, she didn't lose her memory. It's just that there must be a problem with the story you told her."

Lin Qiye stared at the Zhao Sisters.

He was not suspecting the two of them. He didn't think the sisters were lying, and there was no need to lie.

There was no demonic aura on them, which proved the two couldn't be possessed by demons.

"I can feel that my memory is not lost. However, I also don't think Little Yu would lie."

"Could it be..." Wan Meng suggested weakly from the side.

"It can't be Hall Master Zhan! There must be some hidden story behind this!" Zhao Yu said agitatedly.

To save her, Hall Master Zhan sacrificed his life. Zhao Yu would never believe that he would lie to her.

"I've thought of a possibility," Lin Qiye said slowly.

After listening to Zhao Yu's explanation of the situation, he had been thinking about this question.

"You know what's going on?"

They looked at Lin Qiye in surprise.

"I'm not sure, but I can't find a better explanation right now."

Lin Qiye's expression was grim as he looked at Zhao Yan and said, "How much do you know about the demon in the Earth Immortal Realm who attacked Country Xu?"

"The demon that attacked Country Xu?"

Zhao Yan lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, "The information I know should be similar to yours. Why? Is this matter related to it?"

Lin Qiye shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with it, but it might be related to a secret technique of the demon clan."

At the mention of the secret technique, the Zhao Sisters and Wan Meng couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment before their expressions suddenly changed.

Clearly, they were all thinking of the same thing.

The sky-devouring demon clan could devour other people's power and transform into their appearance.

"You mean that the demon devoured a part of my soul, disguised itself as me, and did all those things in the Heavenly God Palace?"

"But that's impossible. The aura of a demon is completely different from ours. Even if it's a disguise, it's impossible to escape the perception of a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm!"

Zhao Yu mentioned that Zhao Yan had once led a small team to meet Hall Master Zhan.

If Zhao Yan had been a demon in disguise, Hall Master Zhan should have seen through her immediately.

However, not only did Hall Master Zhan not see through it, but he even made a promise to Zhao Yan. This matter was too strange.

"That's why I said I'm not sure. But can you find a better explanation now? Furthermore, who would know what trump card the demon clan had? Have you ever seen the highest level of that secret technique?"

After a series of questions, the Zhao Sisters fell silent.

That's right. Who could say for sure what foundation the demon clan had?

Perhaps they had a way to disguise their aura to be the same as the original owner.

Zhao Yan recalled the scene when she faced the demon after she was critically injured.

At that time, the demon could have killed her on the spot, but it didn't.

Although the demon was attacking her, the damage it caused was disproportionate to its strength.

Now that she thought about it, perhaps it was to strip her soul and devour or control it.

"If that's the case..." Zhao Yu quickly shut her mouth.

She thought of a possibility.

After the demon devoured part of Zhao Yan's soul, it used a high-level secret technique to disguise itself as her.
