Chapter 880: Chapter 880 The Person Hiding Behind the Scenes

Recognized for her true identity, Lin Xi was overwhelmed with shock, her face turned pale, "You... who exactly are you...?"

"Who I am is not important, what matters is, do you remember who you are?" the enigmatic masked figure said coldly, as if deliberately reminding Lin Xi of something.

Lin Xi felt the person’s voice was very strange, as if it had been deliberately altered with a voice changer, forcing Lin Xi to speculate about their identity, "What do you want?"

The mysterious masked person spoke with a casual tone, "I don’t want anything in particular, I’m just playing around."

"You think this is all a game?" Lin Xi suddenly thought of something and immediately questioned, "It was you who brought the vampires, wasn’t it? You are the mastermind behind this."

"That’s correct, I am the mastermind. Defeat me, and you can solve everything, but can you do it?" The mysterious masked person’s tone was one of extreme confidence, which annoyed Lin Xi, "How did you learn my true identity?"

The mysterious masked person said something that infuriated Lin Xi, "Take a guess!"

"Guess my foot, if you won’t say then forget it." Lin Xi used anger to mask her inner unease; this mysterious masked person really was no ordinary individual. How on earth did they know Lin Xi’s true identity? Logically, people from ancient times should not be aware of this.

"Alright, instead of guessing my identity, you might want to worry about yourself. Aren’t you anxious at all? The date you and Gu Fan agreed upon has long passed." When the mysterious masked person uttered these words, Lin Xi was even more shocked. The person even knew about Gu Fan.

"Who on earth are you?" Lin Xi knew she wouldn’t get an answer, but she couldn’t help but ask.

The mysterious masked person shook their head, "I have already said I’m the one pulling the strings here. Why would I let you know my true identity? However, there is one thing I can tell you, Gu Fan is also in a lot of trouble right now. Qian Ye has betrayed him, the space-time door has broken, and he can’t come to get you right away, so you need to stay in the ancient world a little longer. Gu Fan is figuring out a solution."

"Qian Ye’s betrayal, the space-time door is broken, can I even return?" Lin Xi was very worried, unsure if what the other party said was true or false.

However, the mysterious masked person couldn’t help but sigh, "Shouldn’t your main concern be asking me why I know so much?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi felt a little embarrassed, "Ah, that, you’re right, how do you know so much? You know I’m not Qian Ye, you know about Gu Fan, about the space-time door..." Lin Xi was suddenly shocked, looking at the mysterious masked person with a surprised gaze, as if trying to confirm something.

The mysterious masked person felt quite uncomfortable being scrutinized like this and said, "Enough for today, you should hurry and take Jian Shen back. Also, don’t attempt to change Jian Shen’s destiny." Having said that, the mysterious masked person turned to leave, but not before taking one last glance at Lin Xi, "It’s been a long time, it’s nice to see you."

Watching the figure depart, Lin Xi felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had met this person before; she also had an intuition that while the person was an enemy and not friendly, they would not pose a threat.

But right now, the most important thing was the severely injured, dying Jian Shen. Lin Xi quickly used magic to heal Jian Shen’s wounds, not understanding why the other party didn’t kill him if they could injure Jian Shen to such an extent.

"This person is so powerful, even Jian Shen isn’t their match. With such high-level martial arts, what could their background be?" Lin Xi was full of questions, feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated, as if she had been drawn into a vortex she couldn’t escape from.

Seeing that Jian Shen’s breathing was steady and his injuries were much better, Lin Xi was relieved. The words of the mysterious masked person came back to her, about Qian Ye’s betrayal, the destruction of the space-time door, and Gu Fan’s big trouble.

Lin Xi didn’t know if what the mysterious masked person said was true. If it was, then Lin Xi utterly despised her past self. What was going on? Why the betrayal?

Another point was that the mysterious masked person knew about events that happened in a specific future period, which led Lin Xi to consider the possibility that the mysterious masked person had also traveled to ancient times through the space-time door and must come from the same era as Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui; otherwise, they couldn’t know these things.

But if the space-time door was already destroyed, how did the mysterious masked person travel to ancient times? Could it have been before the destruction of the space-time door? And another question arose: Why had they come to ancient times?

"My God, how much longer must I stay in ancient times?" Lin Xi felt a chill down her spine; there was definitely a huge conspiracy at hand.

At this time, Jian Shen finally woke up and found that he was alright. Seeing Lin Xi standing by his side, Jian Shen looked puzzled, "What happened? Where is the masked person?"

Lin Xi explained, "I used magic to escape with you. We are safe now."

"Really?" After Jian Shen sighed with relief, there was a tinge of dejection in his expression. He had been utterly defeated today, and his pride was shattered to pieces.

Lin Xi then comforted him, "Victory and defeat are common in war. As a man, it’s okay to accept defeat. It doesn’t matter if you lose, just stand back up."

Touched by her words, Jian Shen nodded, straightening up before Lin Xi, "You’re right, Lin Xi, I shouldn’t fear failure. I should keep striving to be strong. This person’s appearance is actually a reminder of that lesson."

"That’s the spirit! This is the Jian Shen I know!" Lin Xi punched Jian Shen, cheering him up.

Jian Shen then revealed the martial arts used by the mysterious masked person, the long-lost Immortal Body.

However, Lin Xi was even more astonished after learning this. She had first guessed that the mysterious masked person came from the future, but they knew an ancient art that had been lost for ages. What was going on? Did the mysterious masked person accidentally discover this art in the future, then practiced and mastered it before coming to ancient times, or was there another possibility?

Lin Xi made another bold speculation: was there an ancient Martial Arts expert who had achieved the Immortal Body and, by chance, traveled to Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui’s era through the space-time door?

If Lin Xi’s guess was correct, then David and his colleagues held secrets; long before Gu Fan and Lin Xi’s time, they had used the space-time door to connect to the ancient world and inadvertently brought an ancient peerless expert to the modern era.

Lin Xi also learned something else from Jian Shen: the Immortal Body had been lost because Ying Tianruo, the only person who had known this martial art, had mysteriously disappeared.
