There is desperation in her tones, a yearning. Xiyun has bet everything on Arial. She knew she would be called a traitor to the Sect but what have the sect done for her?
Nothing. And she knows the real reason why the Abbess took her and her sister to the Ermeishan before.
It was the bandits.
The bandits were actually one of the Abbess plans to terrorize the Wuhao clan and coincidentally they were in the path of the headquarters of the Wuhao sect.
One way to look at it, it was the Abbess that is responsible for the murder of her parents.
And Xiyun also knows that due to her sister talent in martial arts the Abbess teach her the Demon Heart Claws technique.
A forbidden technique that even change the soul of even the purest person.
And luckily, she was not bestowed martial art talent like her sister or maybe even she would receive the same treatment.
