According to the doctors, Hong Nian Niang's life was no longer in danger. However, Senior Researcher Mo cautioned Anji before she visited their most difficult patient.
"She's struggling to repair the broken meridians," he divulged. "We suspect it could be a heart demon."
Heart demons… Anji had heard of them before. For every cultivator, a heart demon was worse than facing a formidable foe. Oftentimes, cultivators facing a difficult stage of breakthrough will encounter their heart demon at least once in their lives. Yet, not everyone will encounter a heart demon. Like her father, Anji had never met one. Bai Dajin was another person who had never experienced a heart demon in his life either.
"The loss of her child and the toll of war is enough catalyst for a heart demon to appear," Senior Researcher Mo explained. "If she does not want to meet with you, I hope you don't take it personally. Nobody has been able to talk to her. It's a relief she is still taking elixirs and medicine."
