Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1110: Chapter 397: The Truth Unveiled, Final Fallout!

It fell on him, as well as on the Nightmare True Monarch beside him.

"You... you sneaky thing, still hanging on."

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake said this.

Moreover, as he spoke, his gaze towards Nightmare True Monarch was extremely complex.

"You old thing, you’re not dead!"

The Soul Hall Master seemed to genuinely have a good relationship with Nightmare True Monarch, so when he shouted this, his voice was a little hoarse and filled with surprise and delight.

And as soon as he recognized Nightmare True Monarch, he flew away from Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s side and landed on a distant sand dune.

Ji Yuan also took an extra look at his position.

Although he showed closeness to Nightmare True Monarch, the position he stood was exactly between Nightmare True Monarch and Bone Nightmare Old Demon, giving off a feeling of neutrality.

Among those present who looked at Nightmare True Monarch, the most complex gaze belonged to Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

Seeing her deceased husband appear before her, witnessing herself with a lover... and the lover being his former disciple.

The reason he became a deceased husband was largely because of her.

But such a thing.

Such a person.

Now appeared before her again... Ji Yuan couldn’t tell what she felt, but from her eyes, it was clear she had a lot going on inside.

Regret, pain, resentment, surprise, fear...

To say she was overwhelmed with emotions would not be an exaggeration.

But no matter how complex the emotions, when it reached her mouth, it merely turned into a trembling utterance.

Now when Fire Spirit Ghost Mother spoke, it no longer carried the crispness of a young woman, but rather the rasp of an old crone.

"You... you, Zhou Chu, how are you not dead."

When Fire Spirit Ghost Mother said this, her voice trembled, carrying a hint of sobbing.

Nightmare True Monarch, beside Ji Yuan, upon hearing this familiar voice, also seemed to quiver slightly.

He looked at the peculiar young couple on the opposite dune, sarcastically saying:

"Thanks to you two adulterers, I barely escaped death."

The Old Demon of Heavenly Fiend raised his head in surprise upon hearing this, looking around incredulously before his gaze finally landed on Nightmare True Monarch.

"Nightmare, you mean, back then when you had an accident... it really was them?"

When Tian Sha Old Demon said this, he even pointed at Bone Nightmare Old Demon, his voice filled with astonishment, disbelief etched all over.

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake seemed to just become aware as well, cupping his left hand with his right elbow, stroking his smooth chin with his right hand, pondering:

"A disciple conspiring with their teacher’s wife to kill the teacher, then marrying her... Tsk tsk, if this play spreads, Jiyuan Continent would have gossip material for the next three hundred years."

Saying this he looked at the silent Bone Nightmare Old Demon across from him, seriously asking:

"Brother Bone Nightmare, as one who has experience and was involved, tell me, is this fascination with fleshly desires truly so captivating? That it could lead you to murder your teacher."

Bone Nightmare Old Demon ignored his sarcastic comment.

So, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake had to shake his head self-deprecatingly.

"I originally thought I was already a demon, but compared to you, Bone Nightmare Old Demon, I am a mere weakling."

The Lady of Joy, supporting Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, momentarily forgot about any Secret Treasure here.

All her focus now was on this affair, with only one thought in her mind... such excitement, what a spectacle!

Seeing no one else speaking, Bone Nightmare Old Demon squinted at Nightmare True Monarch across him, mocking:

"Tsk tsk tsk, after all these years, Master, you’ve truly not changed a bit. Your power over yin and yang has only reached a higher peak."

"But, indeed, having once died and positioning yourself as the victim, who wouldn’t feel some sympathy for you?"

"It’s a pity that fairness resides in people’s hearts."

"If I hadn’t killed you back then, becoming your Second Nascent Soul would have probably been my fate, right?"

What?

There’s a twist?!

That was the immediate thought that popped into Ji Yuan’s mind.

And it was the thought of other Nascent Soul cultivators present too... It appeared on the surface that Bone Nightmare Old Demon killed his master and then married the teacher’s wife.

But in reality?

Unexpectedly, was it Nightmare True Monarch who intended to strike first?

Ji Yuan turned his head, somewhat bewildered, looking at the Nightmare True Monarch beside him.

The implication being, you hadn’t mentioned this earlier, sir.

"Second Nascent Soul?"

Hearing this, Nightmare True Monarch chuckled, shaking his head, as if lacking even the desire to explain.

Ji Yuan was confused.

Could there be something more to this?

While he was puzzling, the Soul Hall Master spoke up.

"To cultivate a Second Nascent Soul requires the use of a pure Five Elements Spirit Infant, Brother Bone Nightmare, by saying this, do you mean you are one of the Five Elements Spirit Infant?"

"I am not, but back then, this old demon had a Water Spirit Infant among the Five Elements Spirit Infants. He wanted to implant this Water Spirit Infant into my body, and then use my physique to refine it to become his Second Nascent Soul."

Bone Nightmare Old Demon said this, his face darkening, and as he gestured with his hands, two streaks of light flew from his Dantian and landed in front of him, transforming into two palm-sized little figures.

They looked exactly like him.

"Nascent Souls, he actually has two Nascent Souls!"

Seeing this, Ji Yuan was somewhat astonished, let alone other Nascent Soul cultivators who thought they already understood him.

This sensation was akin to everyone agreeing to slack off, only for this fellow to secretly work hard and pull ahead, and at the end everyone else failing, while he scored a perfect mark.
