Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1064: Chapter 388: The Meeting of Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Qiu (Part 2)

"That unruly disciple learned his entire cultivation technique from me. I know his weaknesses. As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, I am fully confident I can take him down."

"As for that vile woman... hehe."

Nightmare True Monarch suddenly laughed, "Senior, you probably know her current state better than I do."

"But if I lend you a Corpse King in golden armor to help, how is it any different from me making a move? Wouldn’t it break the rules? It might be better if I handled it myself."

"Even with the Corpse King, you might not be able to take him down. If I step in, I definitely can."

The Ghost Envoy said with a chuckle.

"My deep-seated hatred demands I take revenge personally."

Nightmare True Monarch said calmly.

The Ghost Envoy was about to refuse when Nightmare True Monarch directly accessed Qiu Qianhai’s storage bag, took out a piece of blood-red scale armor, and said solemnly:

"I went to the Hidden Dragon Abyss."

"What?!"

"..."

"Master..."

After a moment, Qiu Qianhai, who had just emerged from the Hundred-Refinement Corpse Cave, softly called in his sea of consciousness.

He initially thought his master was mysterious enough.

But after seeing him today, he realized his master was far more enigmatic than he had imagined!

For he actually belonged to the legendary Yin Ghost Sect!

"Don’t ask. Knowing too much won’t do you any good."

A casual word from Nightmare True Monarch stopped all of Qiu Qianhai’s questions.

"Yes."

"So are we headed directly to the core area to seek revenge on the Bone Nightmare Old Demon now?"

Qiu Qianhai inquired.

"No, there are still a few good things within this Inner Realm that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could use. Let’s take them first."

Nightmare True Monarch explained.

"...How fortuitous, someone is already making a move. Let’s go join the excitement."

Just after exiting the Hundred-Refinement Corpse Cave, Nightmare True Monarch saw that people were already attacking the hidden mythical vine.

He recalled that this mystical vine was protecting a miracle treasure.

If he could acquire that treasure, dealing with the Bone Nightmare Old Demon would be much easier.

Seeing his master about to act, Qiu Qianhai tactfully kept silent.

Only to see Nightmare True Monarch’s form flicker into a bloody escape light and vanish, reappearing beneath the hidden mythical vine.

His blood-red robes flapping loudly, he laughed up at the sky:

"How could such excitement be without me, Ji Yuan!"

Instantly, those present in combat... except for Xun Tianji, all stepped aside.

Nobody knew whose side this old demon was on!

He might suddenly ally with the hidden mythical vine to attack others; anything was possible.

Meanwhile.

South of Qingyue Building, dozens of miles away on a rooftop.

Originally watching the spectacle with some boredom and even considering breaking into a few rooms to see if he could find an unlucky fool, Ji Yuan suddenly became alert.

"...Old Demon Ji?"

Ji Yuan murmured to himself, his divine sense instantly locking onto the newly arrived man in the blood-red robes.

But just as he used his divine sense to focus on the man in the blood robes, the latter turned his head to glance in his direction.

Perception!

...He could actually sense my divine sense!

Just this made Ji Yuan a bit startled.

Luckily, at this glance, he also got a clear look at Old Demon Ji’s appearance and sensed his aura.

What a coincidence.

Ji Yuan unexpectedly found that this Old Demon Ji... he did not recognize at all.

Not only the appearance but he had never sensed this aura either.

This was completely a stranger!

"Brother Ji, Old Demon Ji, like you, often changes his appearance and aura, but once he goes all out, he’ll reveal his true appearance... wait and see, maybe you’ll recognize him then."

Mu Xueyao guessed Ji Yuan’s thoughts and explained through voice transmission.

"Alright."

Ji Yuan responded.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

Just as Mu Xueyao said, soon enough he would see his true face.

"..."

"Master, what is it?"

Qiu Qianhai sensed his master’s unusual behavior and curiously asked.

"Nothing, just another Nascent Soul cultivator hiding in the Inner Realm who glanced at me just now... hiding like a coward, but not a big problem."

After casually speaking, Nightmare True Monarch glanced at Xun Tianji and sneered:

"Amidst all the cultivators, you, Xun Tianji, and I, Ji Yuan, are the only ones worthy of note, the rest... mere rabble!"

Nightmare True Monarch’s voice and tone were extremely domineering.

But Xun Tianji was likewise a domineering figure, so upon hearing this, he casually punched the mythical vine back and grinned viciously:

"True words!"

"If not for the wrong timing, I’d love to have a life-and-death duel with prodigies like you!"

"Rest assured, there will be plenty of chances."

Nightmare True Monarch smiled slightly.

"If so, then let’s first see who can kill this hidden mythical vine, shall we?!"

Xun Tianji loudly proposed.

"Splendid!"

Nightmare True Monarch responded.

The two openly discussed in front of everyone, never sparing the other cultivators a glance.

Their demeanor, utterly arrogant!

From afar, Ji Yuan watching this scene felt that Old Demon Ji was excessively arrogant; even he, the "authentic" Ji Yuan, felt an urge to punch him, let alone others.

Xun Tianji’s hands kept moving, and now with Nightmare True Monarch added on.

The previously involved Luojia Zhenren and others also rejoined the battle.

For them... the situation now was clearly much better than before. Previously, Xun Tianji dominated alone; if he were to really slay this mythical vine, most of the supreme treasures would likely fall into his hands, and they could only share some of the remaining immortal talents.
