Chapter 1119: Chapter 399: Ji Yuan Makes a Move, Gains a Rare Treasure!

Soon, he thoroughly fell into a disadvantage, almost being overwhelmed.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan instinctively glanced at the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake beside him.

Coincidentally, the latter was also preparing to make a move, so he took the opportunity to say, "Just wait here, don’t worry, the Lady of Joy won’t attack you."

With those words, he burst into laughter and took a step forward.

Another green streak of light shot up to the sky.

At the moment he ascended, he forcefully broke apart the ongoing duel between the Bone Nightmare Old Demon and the Nightmare True Monarch with tremendous power.

"What?! Xuan Snake, you!"

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon was infuriated as he looked at the unannounced, sudden intervention by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake.

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake let out a long howl and landed beside the Nightmare True Monarch.

"Nothing special, just can’t stand you, a traitor to your masters and ancestors!"

The Nightmare True Monarch, already gravely injured, looked at the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake beside him and forced a smile, "This life of mine as Nightmare is content with having two friends like you."

"..."

...Xuan Snake turned out to be a friend of Nightmare?!

Ji Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Could it be that Xuan Snake was hiding something, and the reason he intervened today was entirely because Nightmare is his friend?

But if that’s the case, why was he willing to intervene earlier when Nightmare wanted to kill me?

Nascent Soul Monster, truth mingled with lies.

For a moment, Ji Yuan couldn’t differentiate which words from their mouths were true and which were false.

But what he could discern was that the life and death situation today truly remained uncertain, with no knowledge of who would live or die.

Seeing this, the Soul Hall Master, involved in the distant battle, laughed heartily, "Good, good, from now on, I, the Soul Hall Master, shall regard you, Xuan Snake, as a friend."

"Daoist Xuan Snake, don’t worry, once we get out, our Soul Refining Hall will not let you down!"

If they could seize the opportunity to eliminate the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, the benefits would be... obvious.

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake wouldn’t give up, even without the Soul Hall Master’s words.

"Xuan Snake, you indeed are a despicable person."

Although the power of the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon is strong, his skills in verbal battle are indeed mediocre.

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake didn’t even have the desire to argue with him, and seeing this, he had only one thought, which was...

"Soul Hall Master, you step back, let me teach this Heavenly Fiend Old Demon how to behave!"

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake finished speaking and didn’t hesitate any longer, immediately flashing forward to attack, while the Soul Hall Master took the chance to retreat.

As a result, the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon and the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, these old opponents, finally confronted each other.

The Soul Hall Master glanced at them, then flashed back to the Nightmare True Monarch’s side.

The latter looked at the Bone Nightmare Old Demon opposite, whose ghostly fire flickered within the dark hollow eyes, "Disciple, do you still not understand what it means to gain favor in righteousness and to be isolated in unrighteousness?"

"Ridiculous!"

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon let out a sneer, hesitating not the slightest, once again brazenly attacking.

In the sky, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake and the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon seemed to feel that the area was too small to display their skills, so after a moment of fighting, they moved so far away that even Ji Yuan’s divine sense couldn’t locate them.

He felt a moment of panic in his heart.

But fortunately, the restriction left by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake was still present.

Among those present who hadn’t taken action, only the Lady of Joy remained.

Ji Yuan instinctively turned his head to look at his fellow countryman, and coincidentally, he met her gaze.

"Heh... hehe."

Ji Yuan gave her an awkward smile but remained silent.

Even if he spoke, he didn’t know what to say.

All he hoped for was that it would be as the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake said, that the Lady of Joy... wouldn’t kill him, right?

He had never offended her!

Just as Ji Yuan looked away and was about to withdraw his gaze, the voice of the Lady of Joy suddenly echoed in the sky of his consciousness.

"This little friend has remarkable skill, surviving such perils; surely, you will form a Nascent Soul one day."

The Lady of Joy’s name seemed to match her demeanor, with a voice laced with joy.

Ji Yuan responded with a smile, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Senior overpraises."

"May I ask this little friend what your name is?"

The Lady of Joy asked again, making Ji Yuan feel a bit uneasy, fearing unnecessary trouble, but to be safe, he still answered honestly.

"In response to senior, this junior’s surname is Hu, given name Beizhi."

"Hu Beizhi, quite a nice name... Was it true that you became a disciple of the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother before?"

"Indeed."

This matter had just been exposed, so Ji Yuan didn’t hide it any longer.

The Lady of Joy nodded slightly, not speaking further.

But when Ji Yuan thought she had withdrawn her divine sense and left, suddenly, a voice in Human Realm’s elegant speech echoed in the sky of his consciousness.

The same language Ji Yuan always spoke on the Cangluo Continent before.

"You came from Cangluo, didn’t you?"

...Aren’t Nascent Soul Monsters quite resourceful?

I haven’t revealed anything, yet they discovered this?

Though Ji Yuan felt astonished in his heart, he displayed no emotion on his face, even pretending to be startled for a moment upon hearing those words, before responding with a rather "awkward" speech in Human Realm’s elegant language:

"This junior doesn’t understand what senior is saying; this junior was raised in the Jiyuan Continent, though I have ideas of venturing to Cangluo Continent, I have never taken action."

"Hehe."

The Lady of Joy chuckled, "You’ve been to our Luoyun Island, and at that time you assumed the identity of a Sword Ruins disciple; you may deceive others, but not me."

Ji Yuan: "..."

The Nightmare True Monarch was certainly right; one should never underestimate any Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Ji Yuan thought his Transformation Talisman was flawlessly disguised, and he hadn’t encountered the Lady of Joy head-on throughout, so how did she know his identity?

"Rest assured, I won’t hold you accountable for the Soul-Eating Demon’s death."

"A Loose Cultivator like him isn’t suited to join a sect; his death was due to his state of mind."
