Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 921 - 359: Old Demon Ji’s Two “Masters”

After listening to the Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s introduction, the woman turned her head towards Ji Yuan with a slight smile in her eyes."You’re Hu Beizhi, right? Stand up."

"Disciple thanks Master."

Ji Yuan rose, standing respectfully, though struggling to suppress his emotions, his eyes still betrayed his excitement.

"Do you know my title?" the woman asked.

"Master is a high being from beyond, while I am but an ant in the mountains, thus I’ve never heard of it."

"Husband, the disciple you’ve found indeed speaks well." The woman couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh towards the Bone Nightmare Old Demon after hearing Ji Yuan’s answer.

The latter also laughed, "He’s like me, someone who has read books."

"No wonder, they both appear to be the same hypocrites, wolves in sheep’s clothing."

The woman rolled her eyes, not knowing what she thought of.

Ji Yuan: "..."

After the couple flirted and exchanged banter, the woman turned around to look at Ji Yuan, then slowly said, "You may not recognize me, but you must have heard my title."

The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke.

"It’s been a while since I went out, but I vaguely remember back then people called me... Fire Spirit Ghost Mother."

... Fire Spirit Ghost Mother?

Hearing this title, the contents he had read from ancient texts immediately surfaced in Ji Yuan’s mind.

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother was indeed the former master of Bone Nightmare Sect... No, back then, it was still called Nightmare Sect, and the Sect Leader was called Nightmare True Monarch.

And the wife of this Nightmare True Monarch was called Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

Both were of Nascent Soul cultivation, considered a famous celestial couple on the Jiyuan Continent, but later, when the couple took on an adventure, they both perished in the Endless Sea.

Afterwards, Bone Nightmare swiftly rose to power, maintaining the Bone Nightmare Sect that was about to disband, despite being at an Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

After all, for any sect, losing two Nascent Soul cultivators at once... could be described as apocalyptic.

Then, after hundreds of years of governance by the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, he successfully transformed the Nightmare Sect into the Bone Nightmare Sect, expanding its influence further.

His own strength advanced to Mid-stage Nascent Soul, and it was said a new Nascent Soul cultivator appeared within the sect.

Thus, the sect once again had two Nascent Soul cultivators, although it didn’t compare to the former three... Having these two at least ensured that the title of Eight Holy Lands was untouchable.

Even the nearby Soul Refining Hall dared not covet it, let alone other forces.

But now, it appears the Bone Nightmare Sect doesn’t just have two Nascent Soul cultivators, but three!

If anyone dared covet the Bone Nightmare Sect now, they might not even know how they’d died.

Yet, what truly surprised Ji Yuan were the titles between these two... wife and husband.

The Nightmare True Monarch’s disciple formed a marital bond with his former wife.

In other words, the Bone Nightmare Old Demon married his master’s wife!

Damn, this news indeed explodes, and if true, wouldn’t the Nightmare True Monarch’s death be worth discussing?

Ji Yuan also recalled earlier when on that unnamed island and the self-account of the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, stating their sect had a great reputation.

Initially, Ji Yuan hadn’t thought much, believing that the Bone Nightmare Old Demon was indeed longing for his master.

But now reflecting, his reaction then was likely irony!

... This Old Demon, did he really kill his master and then marry his master’s wife?

Wolves in sheep’s clothing, the phrase actually truly describes him?

Ji Yuan instinctively looked up, noticing the seemingly gentle couple smilingly looking at him.

But Ji Yuan saw a deep chill in their eyes.

’If they can commit such deeds, if born with threatening looks, hated by people and ghosts, it would be tolerable, but ironically possessing such appearances... saying they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing is not far off.’

’No, they should know, when Fire Spirit Ghost Mother revealed her true identity, I would know these, so waited this long without speaking, obviously waiting for me to express.’

’Earlier when seeing the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, the wrong choice was death, and now this is likely the second difficulty, wrong choice... still death!’

Thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind, he took a deep breath, slowly stood, and once again bowed towards Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

"Disciple Hu Beizhi, greets Master."

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon remained silent, while Fire Spirit Ghost Mother stepped forward, still wearing a kind smile, but Ji Yuan saw deep fear beneath her gentle exterior.

"You as a Loose Cultivator have cultivated to this point, you must be a smart person, so you’ve likely guessed much of the situation."

"Boy."

Fire Spirit Ghost Mother strolled in the Lake Heart Pavilion, one hand behind her back, the other placed in front of her.

With each step, her aura gradually transformed, from previously calm to oppressive.

Even her voice turned old and hoarse.

"Now it’s still time to regret, but if you really accept me as Master, things won’t be this way."

... Do I really have a choice?

Ji Yuan cupped his hand, glanced at Bone Nightmare Old Demon, who smiled and said, "If you don’t wish to become a disciple, that’s fine. Is it possible I would extract your soul, refine it into a Corpse Puppet?"

Threat!

Naked threat!

Ji Yuan looked at the Bone Nightmare Old Demon before him, seemingly wanting to carve this expression deep in his mind.

Today’s grudges, must be avenged someday!

Ji Yuan naturally understood, between a dead end and discipleship, he naturally chose discipleship.

But upon making this decision, Ji Yuan had a change of thought, since he already embarked on this path, why not strive for some benefits?
