Chapter 26: Zhao Yinyue (2)

"There's no need to worry about this matter." Ji Yuenian waved his hand. "The Zhao family and my Ji family have never been in harmony over the years, they would never come to Anyang City, and the ancient city of Taichu is so big that no one would know of it. I paid special attention to these details. As for the imitation... Sentient Ghost-devouring Armor can protect you from any flaws, you are as I was before, and no one from the Ji family will see through it."

Ji Bugui lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, Eldest Son."

"Let's go."

There was also a black light encompassing Ji Yuenian's body, covering him up as much as possible, and after a while, he completely disappeared into the darkness on the banks of the Linghui river.

Ji Bugui stood quietly in place for a long while, calmed down, and walked straight towards the gates of Anyang city.

Although Ji Yuenian did not say it clearly, he was well aware of the danger.

A Eldest Son Ji Yuenian, whose Heart Fire had been extinguished and who had lost all his cultivation base, was almost equivalent to a mortal. Did he really still have the incomparable status in the Ji family?

Moreover, according to the rumors from the Chu family in the ancient city of Taichu, the person who designed the murder of the eldest son was most likely Ji Luoyan, the Elder of the Ji family.

If he returned to the Ji family in place of Ji Yuenian as a mortal, devoid of cultivation, this could indeed test waters for the Eldest Son. He could gauge the Ji familys and Ji Hongs true attitude and thoughts on Ji Yuenian, but this also put him in an extremely dangerous position.

The First Elder Ji Luoyan was able to plot against Ji Yuenian, who was half-step into the True Dao Realm, and threw him into the Qingluan Mountains.

...

The news of the eldest son, Ji Yuenians return after he went missing in the Qingluan Mountain for several days caused quite a stir in the entire city of Anyang.

The lights gradually dimmed and died down by the time the moon occupied its seat in the middle of the sky.

"Nian'er, who tried to harm you in the first place? I'm going to tear him to pieces!"

Ji Hong slapped the table fiercely, his face full of uncontrollable anger.

There were several people in the hall sitting high, and did not say a word, it was the elders of the Ji Family Elders.

Ji Bugui's heart trembled, and he could not bear the mental oppression of a True Dao Realm powerhouse, and secretly complained.

"Master Patriarch, didn't the Eldest Son just say that he lost all his memories in the mountains? From my point of view, it is better to let the Eldest son rest for a while now."

A middle-aged man in a gray robe gave Ji Bugui a friendly look, stepped down from his seat, and cupped his hands towards Ji Hong.

Ji Hong snorted coldly, and seemed to be a little relieved, withdrew his anger, and said, "What the Third Elder said makes sense. Nian'er can't remember what happened, or even how he got out of the Qingluan Mountains. I think he really should take a good rest before anything else.

Ji Bugui pondered the meaning of Ji Hong's words, and felt a chill in his heart.

Ji Yuenian used to be the talent who ignited a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence, and he was also the eldest son of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family. Even if Ji Hong was his father, he would not treat Ji Yuenian with half such half-heartedness.

However, after the return of "Ji Yuenian", whose Heart Fire had been extinguished, Ji Hong's attitude was quite intriguing.

The eldest son, Ji Yuenian, really did not misunderstand the Ji family's patriarch who was in the initial stage of the True Dao Realm.

Ji Hong set up a lantern festival in Anyang City for two purposes.

First, there were many demons in the Qingluan Mountains, and no one could determine whether the Ji Yuenian who returned was the real Ji Yuenian or a demon dressed in Ji Yuenian skin.

Ji Hong was very ingenious, and he could tell whether Ji Yuenian was a demon by setting up a lantern festival.

Because even if the monster could devour all of Ji Yuenian's soul memory, it couldn't spy on his true soul memory.

However, all of Zhao Yinyues memories were forfeited earlier when she was on the verge of death. They all had coalesced into spiritual light that were in turn absorbed into Ji Yuenians True Spirit. The True Spirit was the root of every living soul. The soul which was attached to the True Spirit even if it was destroyed, and it dies, it could retain a little of the True Spirit and enter the nether realm to reincarnate.

If there was no extremely special means, the True Spirit couldn't be detected at all, and it could not be directly attacked.

But, if the True Spirit was destroyed and shattered, then the creature would truly dissipate between the heavens and the earth, without the chance of reincarnation into the next life, and would completely turn into nothingness.

What made Ji Bugui feel chills was that Ji Hong's attitude became extremely ambiguous after seeing that "Ji Yuenian" had extinguished his Heart Fire and his cultivation was completely useless.

He did not even bother to verify if this Ji Yuenian was truly who he said he was or some demon.

What mighty demon would disguise as a mortal whose cultivation base was completely ruined?

This was the second proof.

Some time ago, news came from the city gate on the west side that the Eldest Son Ji Yuenian crushed Zhao Sixing of the Zhao family, and Zhao Yanran took the initiative to bow her head and apologize, which was enough to prove that his cultivation was still present.

What kind of place is the Qingluan Mountains? A collection of mysterious and terrifying Demons.

Ji Hong didn't dare to fully believe this news from a hundred miles away. After all, hearing could be false, but seeing could not be.

He wanted to know whether Ji Yuenian, who returned from the Qingluan Mountains, was still the possessor of the Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence.

This lantern festival had become a buffer and a stage. No matter whether Ji Yuenian's Heart Fire was really extinguished or not, Ji Hong could change his attitude and way of treating him very naturally without appearing blunt.

Moreover, the Ji family at this time already had a person with a Grade 6 Heart Fire sequence: Ji Quexue.
