"Okay, deal." Qin Xiaochuan agreed to Kaiming without hesitation, after all, the demon race was their enemy.

"Thank you." Kaiming nodded to him. "But I need to rest properly before that."

As the mental space dissipated, Qin Xiaochuan, seeing Han Kexin still standing motionless in the same spot, asked, "What did you do to them?"

"Don't worry, they've just been hypnotized." As he spoke, Kaiming released a burst of mental energy, and Han Kexin and the others immediately woke up.

The moment they opened their eyes, the three of them immediately assumed a fighting stance, clearly still remembering the moment they were attacked by Kaiming. Qin Xiaochuan quickly reached out to stop them: "Stop! The fight is over."

Han Kexin looked at Kaiming, who was lying listlessly on the ground, withdrew her spiritual power, and asked, "Did you succeed?"

"No, but it promised me that if I help it retrieve the Contract Stone, it will return Aunt Jiang and the others' memories." As he spoke, he explained the details of his agreement with Kaiming.

Han Kexin didn't raise any objections after listening, and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's go back to the temple first."

Upon returning to the temple, Kaiming squatted on the ground, a dozen eyes staring blankly at the Heavenly Stele.

Looking at it, Xiaoying tugged at Qin Xiaochuan's hand and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with it?"

Qin Xiaochuan replied thoughtfully, "It must be thinking of its former owner and trying to find its way home."

"It's such a good dog." Xiaoying looked at it with some sympathy. "Can I pet it?"

"So obedient?" Qin Xiaochuan subconsciously glanced at Kaiming's fierce appearance, unable to understand how this guy could be associated with the word "obedient." He patted the little girl's head and said, "Later, let's not disturb it now."

"Oh." Xiaoying nodded, still tilting her head, her big eyes looking at Kaiming curiously.

Just then, Han Kexin walked in from outside. She came to the Heavenly Stele, glanced at the lost Kaiming, and asked, "Speaking of which, how did you lose your memory? Logically speaking, you are a master at manipulating memories, so this shouldn't have happened."

Kaiming snapped out of its daze, turned one of its heads toward Han Kexin, and replied in a deep voice, "You're right. I have absolute control over my memories, and that's why anyone who fights me often gets caught in an endless loop of memories, finding it hard to escape."

It paused and continued, "It was for this reason that the Queen Mother of the West entrusted me with guarding the entrance to Kunlun Ruins. Although she has left this world, I have never forgotten my mission. For thousands of years, I have rarely allowed anyone else to set foot in Kunlun Ruins except for a very few people with profound strength. Until one day, I met a man."

"What kind of man?" Han Kexin and Qin Xiaochuan asked in unison.

Kaiming seemed lost in thought, his voice becoming somewhat erratic. "He was a very strong person, so strong that I couldn't see through his strength at all. He seemed to have eyes that could see through everything in the world. Faced with my constantly changing memory traps, he hardly fought back, yet I couldn't hurt him in the slightest. Until the very end, he asked me a question." At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Han Kexin, and seeing that she didn't speak, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's the problem?"

"Who are you?" Kaiming suddenly asked.

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback, not expecting her to ask such a question at this moment. Just as he was thinking about how to introduce himself, Han Kexin asked in confusion, "Is it this simple question that made you lose yourself?"

"Not bad." Kaiming slowly lowered his head. "Because of my talent, I have always played different roles in this world. This has never changed for thousands of years, and I have never felt anything was wrong. I have never thought about what my true self is like. When that man asked this question, he used his powerful mental attack to instantly plunge me into the corridor of memories, from which I can never get out."

"This is unbelievable." Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but click his tongue. "I'm really curious what kind of man would come up with such a method to deal with Kaiming." After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Han Kexin, "Who do you think could do such a thing?"

Han Kexin remained silent, but the image of that man involuntarily surfaced in her mind. In terms of strength, apart from the previous Blood Witch King Xiao Yan, she couldn't think of anyone else.

"Do you want to know? I can let you meet him," Kaiming said, looking at Qin Xiaochuan.

"Huh?" Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. Suddenly, Kaiming projected a memory phantom into his mental world. When Qin Xiaochuan saw the man in the memory phantom, an extremely complex expression appeared on his face. "Him? It's... how could it be him?"

"Who?" Han Kexin looked at his strange expression and couldn't help but become curious.

"It's Alim," Qin Xiaochuan said thoughtfully at the end.

But Qin Xiaochuan wasn't thinking about these things. "Since we arrived at the Bronze Gate, we've lost contact with Alimu. I don't know if he'll do anything to harm Shiyi."

Han Kexin shook her head and said, "Probably not." Then she asked Kaiming, "When did you meet that man?"

"About twenty years ago, I never imagined that after I got lost, so many people would trespass into Kunlun Ruins. This is my dereliction of duty." As it spoke, it slapped the ground in self-reproach, making a "bang".

"According to you, that man came to Kunlunxu twenty years ago. With his strength, he would never make things difficult for a little girl like Shiyi. This time, he deliberately approached us and returned to this old place. He must have a bigger purpose," Han Kexin analyzed.

Qin Xiaochuan felt that what she said made sense, and felt a little relieved, but a question arose in his mind: "It is clear that Kaiming was already lost in his memories 20 years ago, so why did Kunlun Ruins only reappear recently? This is also a mystery."

Han Kexin said, "To understand this issue, we need to investigate how the archaeological team discovered the ruins and how such a dangerous person was hiding behind them. We must conduct a thorough investigation when we get back."

"But that person's strength..." Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin with some worry, hesitating to speak.

"Don't worry, we'll play it by ear."
