Chapter 756: Chapter 319: Jiyuan Continent—Old Demon Ji!

"Alright, alright, let’s not argue. Let’s talk about this Old Demon Ji. It’s said he was originally from the Land of the Far North, but because he made quite a few enemies over there, he moved to the Land of the Far South. But now it seems he’s made quite a few enemies there too. Who knows where he’ll flee to next?"

The bald man stroked his beard and said with a laugh, "Perhaps he’ll escape to our Land of the Far West, and by then he’ll make many more enemies."

"By the way, I heard he has the title of the number one below Core Formation Cultivators, supposedly from killing a Fake Pill Cultivator from the Xuanqing Sect... That Fake Pill Cultivator had a late-stage Core Formation master who is currently in the Land of the Far South hunting him down."

The mediator from before glanced around at the people, then said:

"Actually, haven’t you thought about it? To gain such a reputation at the Fake Pill Realm, isn’t that more impressive than many Core Formation Cultivators?"

"If he were to lose his life at this point, it would still be worth it, because he left his mark on the Jiyuan Continent at least."

"I’ve also heard that Old Demon Ji speaks a very pure and orthodox tongue, never using our Jiyuan Continent dialect. Truly a pretentious fellow."

"..."

The discussion among the tables grew even more fervent.

Du Wanyi looked at the jug of Spirit Wine in her hand, thought for a moment, and walked over.

As the few tables of drinkers saw her approaching, they hurriedly quieted down, stood up, and paid their respects.

"Greetings, senior."

A few Qi Refining Junior Cultivators encountered a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator and were understandably intimidated.

"There’s no need for formalities."

Du Wanyi replied with a phrase in an unfamiliar dialect, then raised her hand to the innkeeper and said:

"Put the tab for these tables on my account."

The people exchanged glances and grinned widely, eagerly thanking her: "Thank you, senior."

"Does senior have any matters for us? With such a distinguished status, all you need is to give a word, there’s no need to be so courteous."

"Indeed, indeed."

Du Wanyi listened to their flattering words, sat down at one side, and casually tossed the drink on the table.

The bald man promptly lifted the wine jug and poured a cup for everyone.

The other drinkers at the other tables also crowded forward, trying to make themselves known.

Du Wanyi, expressionless, asked: "Just now you mentioned that... Old Demon Ji, what’s his real name?"

"Ah, so that’s what senior is inquiring about."

The bald man put down the wine jug with a smile, but the black-clothed man with the embroidered tiger opposite him spoke first:

"Ji Yuan!"

"That Old Demon Ji is called Ji Yuan!"

...What?

It really is Ji Yuan!

And he shares the same name as my fourth brother?

Du Wanyi’s face showed no change, but at this revelation, her heart was filled with astonishment.

’The name Ji Yuan is already extremely rare, how could there be another person with the same name?’

’If my fourth brother’s surname was Wang or Li, and he was called Wang Yuan or Li Yuan, meeting someone with the same name here would be understandable, but having the same name as Ji Yuan seems too coincidental.’

’Could it be that this Ji Yuan on this side is actually a clone of my fourth brother, or is it the one from the Cangluo Continent who is the clone... No, that’s too absurd to consider.’

While pondering on this, Du Wanyi listened to the conversations of the nearby drinkers.

All their talks revolved around the notorious acts of "Old Demon Ji."

Things like exterminating entire minor sects were considered minor.

It’s rumored that he once kidnapped the granddaughter of a Core Formation Cultivator from the Soul Refining Hall and took her on a journey, then returned her after toying with her emotions.

So much so, that the female cultivator claimed she would marry no one else but Ji Yuan.

Or that he allegedly had an unclear relationship with an Elder from the Core Formation of the Listening Pavilion.

Also heard he stole several batches of Elixirs from Tiangong Valley, which he used for his rapid cultivation advancement.

In total, just seven words describe him:

"Old Demon Ji who kills and burns!"

Though Du Wanyi didn’t reveal any expression throughout, her heart was already filled with concern.

...Ji Yuan, when my fourth brother comes to this Jiyuan Continent, he will most likely be at the Fake Core Cultivation.

If he’s not careful and reveals his real name, it will become known.

And since my fourth brother is already quite powerful.

Even if he can’t defeat the Ji Yuan of this continent, it shouldn’t be by much.

If this becomes the case, then won’t my fourth brother be the scapegoat?

No, no, I must meet my fourth brother as soon as possible to deliver this news promptly.

Otherwise, my fourth brother could be in mortal danger!

Just as Du Wanyi was contemplating leaving, a man rushed excitedly into the tavern from outside.

As soon as he entered, he gesticulated and shouted:

"Something big has happened."

"Something big has happened!"

The bald man turned with irritation, glaring: "What’s the meaning of this yelling and shouting? Didn’t you see there’s a senior here? If you disturb the senior, we’ll make sure you regret it!"

The Qi Cultivation Cultivator who ran in sensed Du Wanyi’s presence and hurriedly bowed apologetically.

"I didn’t realize a senior was here. I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

"Alright, let’s hear it. What’s the big news? Has the array connecting to the Cangluo Continent been established?"

The black-clothed man with an embroidered tiger was clearly more interested in this matter.

"No, no."

The newly arrived Qi Cultivation Cultivator waved his hand and then said: "It’s Old Demon Ji, Old Demon Ji truly came to our Land of the Far West, and I heard he had a fight with the people of the Celestial Killer Mountain!"

"..."

"Damn it, that was one explosive battle!"

In an unknown cave, there was a Blood Pool overflowing with Blood Qi, and in that Blood Pool, a broken body was floating.
