She had a feeling that Zixie definitely knows something about Cang Ming.
Indeed, upon hearing her question, Zixie was shocked. He slowly turned his eyes towards the woman next to him and said, “Little girl, now that you’ve reached the Ninth Transformation State, it’s time for you to become aware of certain matters.”
His expression gradually sank and there was a somber air in his demonic eyes.
“Do you know that the previous Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda was you?”
Gu Ruoyun nodded. “Xiao Ye had told me.”
When Zixie heard this, he laughed bitterly and continued, “Sounds like he has told you everything except for the matter concerning Cang Ming! Ten thousand years ago, you had been God’s favored one. You were outstandingly gifted and created such a godly weapon like the Nine Emperors! Suddenly, Qianbei Ye had appeared out of the blue on the mainland!”
Gu Ruoyun’s body shook but she did not interrupt Zixie and only silently waited for him to speak.
“Both of you had been rivals. You had been in competition all of your life and both of you had grown attached to each other after countless battles! However, you weren’t the most powerful person on the mainland back then! Cang Ming was also a rival in your ranks! However, Cang Ming has always been extremely mysterious and would always wear a mask. No one had ever seen what he looked like…”
Zixie gently lifted his gaze to look at Gu Ruoyun as he continued to speak, “Therefore, my understanding of who Cang Ming was is limited. He had appeared around the same time as Qianbei Ye and was like Qianbei Ye. He had no origins and no past. Both had appeared in the sky one day. I can’t give you a definitive answer regarding Cang Ming. Only Qianbei Ye would know the truth behind this matter.”
When Gu Ruoyun heard this, she suddenly put two-and-two together.
“Zixie, the reason why Cang Ming had never shown his face was because he looks just like Qianbei Ye.”
An astonished light flashed across Zixie’s eyes. Clearly, he had not known this.
“I reckon that aside from Qianbei Ye, no one else knew how Cang Ming looked like.” Gu Ruoyun raised her head to look at Zixie. “You had once said that I should be careful of Qianbei Ye. Now I understand, the person you had warned me about wasn’t Qianbei Ye but Cang Ming who looked exactly like him! If my guess is correct, the person who had murdered me in my past life was Cang Ming.”
Based on Zixie’s information, her heart belonged to Qianbei Ye too in her past life. Besides, she had felt the woman in white’s agony in that memory as she was murdered…
That type of agony does not stem from the physical body but from the fact that the person who had killed her was the man she loved.
Since that was the case, Cang Ming only needed to remove his mask and pose as Qianbei Ye to kill her. She, who was defenseless, would have fallen into the trap…
Unfortunately, she was no longer the same person she was in her past life!
Cang Ming had recycled his previous tactic but she had not fallen for it.
“Little girl, a person’s looks can deceive everyone but auras can’t be hidden. Based on our powers back then, it was impossible for us to have missed it.” Zixie’s heart was still full of skepticism. He just does not want Gu Ruoyun to get hurt again.
Gu Ruoyun sighed. “This was why I had found it strange. I’ve met Cang Ming and the aura from his body was exactly alike with Qianbei Ye’s. If it had not been for the fact that I know Qianbei Ye very well, he might have even fooled me again. Zixie, this was why I had asked you about Cang Ming.”
Gu Ruoyun paused before she continued, “Besides, Qianbei Ye had once mentioned that when he merges with Cang Ming’s soul or Cang Ming merges with his, they can both reach the Full Circle State.”
