Big Bodhi - Chapter 24-2
Chapter 24: The Moon on the Mid-heaven (2/2)
Ji Bugui bowed his head slightly and said, “Yes, Grand Duke.”
“Let’s go.”
A black light also rose from Ji Yue Nian’s body, covering him up and concealing him from view, and in a short while he completely disappeared into the darkness along the banks of the Spiritual Rhinoceros River.
Ji Bugui stood alone in the same place for a long time, settled his mind, and walked straight towards the gates of Anyang City.
Although Ji Yue Nian did not explicitly say so, he was well aware of the dangers involved.
A Ji Yue Nian’s son, who had lost all his cultivation and was almost like a mortal, would he really have the same incomparable status in the Ji family.
Moreover, according to the rumours from the Chu family in the ancient city of Tai Chu, the person who had designed the murder of Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian was most likely the Grand Elder of the Ji family, Ji Luo Yan.
If he returned to the Ji family in his mortal body instead of Ji Yue Nian, he would indeed be able to test the true attitude of Ji Hong and the others for the Grand Duke, but he would also put himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
The first elder, Ji Luo Yan, was able to design a half-step realisation level Ji Yue Nian into the Qing Luan mountain range, so how could he not victimise a mortal “Ji Yue Nian” without any cultivation now.
……
The return of the Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian intact after several days of disappearance within the Qing Luan Mountain Range shook the entire Anyang Prefecture city.
The lights were going out and it was already mid-moon.
“Nian’er, who really harmed you in the first place? I’ll make sure he’s chopped to pieces!”
Ji Hong slapped the desk, his face was full of uncontrollable anger.
In the hall room, there were several people sitting on high seats, not saying a word, and they were the elders of the Ji Family Elders’ Council.
Ji Bugui’s mind trembled, and some could not bear the oppression of his mind in the realm of returning, and secretly groaned.
“Master Patriarch, didn’t the eldest son have already said that he has lost all his memories in the mountains? From my point of view, it is better to let the eldest son rest for a while.”
A middle-aged man dressed in grey robes glanced kindly at Ji Bugui, stepped down from his seat and arched his hand towards Ji Hong.
Ji Hong gave a cold snort, seeming to have lost some of his anger and said, “Third Elder has a point, Nian’er can’t remember what happened before, he doesn’t even know how to get out of the Qing Luan Mountain Range, so he should really take a good rest before making plans.”
Ji Bugui guessed the meaning of Ji Hong’s words, and his heart churned.
Ji Yue Nian was once a heavenly pride who had ignited the sixth-ranked heart flame in the sequence, and was the eldest son of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, so even Ji Hong, as his father, would not treat Ji Yue Nian with any slightness in his daily life.
But now, after the return of the “Ji Yue Nian” whose heart flame had been extinguished, Ji Hong’s attitude was rather intriguing.
The Grand Duke, Ji Yue Nian, had indeed been right about this early realm Ji family head.
Ji Hong’s intention in setting up the lantern festival in Anyang City was twofold.
One, there are many great demons in the Qing Luan Mountain Range, so no one can tell whether the “Ji Yue Nian” who has returned is really Ji Yue Nian or a demon transformed into Ji Yue Nian.
Ji Hong was so clever that he set up a lantern party so that he could tell whether Ji Yue Nian was a demon or not.
This was because even if the demon creature could devour all of Ji Yue Nian’s divine soul memories, it would not be able to pry into a single trace of his true spirit memories.
But all of Zhao Yin Yue’s memories were forfeited before she died, and all of them were coalesced into a spiritual light that entered the depths of Ji Yue Nian’s true spirit.
The true spirit is the foundation of every living being and the soul is attached to the true spirit. Even if the soul dies, a little bit of the true spirit can still be retained to go to the underworld to reincarnate and reincarnate.
Without extremely special means, the true spirit cannot be detected and cannot be directly attacked.
But if the true spirit is destroyed and shattered, then the spirit will truly dissipate between the heavens and the earth, without the next reincarnation, and will be completely reduced to nothingness. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the world’s most beautiful people.
What made Ji Bugui’s heart chill is that Ji Hong’s attitude became extremely ambiguous after seeing that “Ji Yue Nian” had extinguished his heart and his cultivation was exhausted.
He did not even bother to verify whether this “Ji Yue Nian” was a demon.
What kind of great demon would disguise himself as a mortal with no cultivation at all?
This was the second.
The news came from the west side of the city gate that the grand duke of Ji Yue Nian had crushed the Zhao family’s Zhao Si Xing and made Zhao Yanran bow down to apologize, which was enough to prove that his cultivation was still there.
But what kind of place is the Qing Luan Mountain Range? A gathering place for mysterious and terrifying monsters.
Ji Hong didn’t dare to believe the news from hundreds of miles away.
He wanted to know if Ji Yue Nian, who had returned from the Qing Luan Mountain Range, was still the same heavenly pride of the sixth rank of the Heart Flame Sequence or not.
This lantern meeting then became a buffer and a stepping stone, whether or not Ji Yue Nian’s heart fire was really extinguished, Ji Hong could extremely naturally change his attitude and way of treating him without appearing to be stiff.
What’s more, at this point in time, the Ji family already possessed a sixth-ranked person in the Heart Flame sequence.
Ji Quexue.
