Chapter 398 The Truth Is Revealed, a Complete Fallout! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Once Nightmare Lord uses the Divine Vine, it means that this fragile team is about to collapse.

At that time, everyone else will be trapped in this illusion. Nightmare Lord will use Dream Butterfly to get out, and together with Ji Yuan, they will use Dream Butterfly to break the illusion and seize the treasure in the blood pool.

After obtaining the treasure, Nightmare Lord will most likely take action and kill Bone Nightmare.

Bone Nightmare certainly won't sit idly by and wait to die. When that time comes, a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators will erupt, and Ji Yuan estimates that he won't even have the ability to watch the show.

He didn't dare to go closer, and could only wait on the sand dune.

Watching those Nascent Soul stage monsters move step by step.

However, he soon discovered that these Nascent Soul cultivators also differed in their ability to resist illusions.

Among these people, the one with the strongest resistance to illusions is naturally Nightmare Lord. Throughout the entire process, Ji Yuan did not notice that he had stopped walking.

Secondly... it turned out to be the Bone Nightmare Demon.

Could it be that the Great Dream Demon Scripture of the Bone Nightmare Sect, once successfully cultivated, can enhance one's ability to resist illusions?

Otherwise, the others are all mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so it's unlikely that only this master and disciple pair are the strongest.

Next up was the Soul Refining Hall Master. Although he wasn't as fast as Nightmare True Monarch and his disciples, he didn't stop much throughout the entire journey.

Next up were the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace and the Joyful Lady.

As for the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon of Heavenly Fiend Mountain and Ji Yuan's cheap master, Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, their ability to resist illusions is the weakest.

Now, the two of them are basically being dragged along by the others.

They held the Spirit-Stabilizing Vine with both hands, and judging from their reactions... they were no longer reacting. If they hadn't been holding onto the Vine so tightly, they would probably have already fallen into the illusion and wouldn't be moving at all.

However, this situation is actually more dangerous.

Given their ability to resist illusions, they should have stopped outside, but instead they were brought inside.

Once they stop moving, they will inevitably fall into a very deep illusion.

For Nightmare Lord, this was the best thing ever. Perhaps the reason he created this pirated version of the Divine Vine was for the same reason.

Gradually, even the Lord of the Xuan Snake Palace and the Lord of the Soul Palace couldn't keep up.

Their steps would often pause, and when they tried to catch up again, they would often stumble, blocking the Happy Lady and the Heavenly Demon at the same time.

As a result, the team moved even slower.

The only thing that made Nightmare Lord a little angry was his proud disciple, Old Demon Bone Nightmare... who seemed to be able to keep up no matter what.

Could it be that we're really going to get the treasure in the blood pool so easily?

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan was already prepared to escape by following the lightning.

In any case, once the treasure is handed over, no matter how it was obtained or whose hands it ends up in, there will definitely be a fierce battle and a life-or-death struggle.

That would be the perfect opportunity for me to escape!

After going in for another ten meters or so, Ji Yuan noticed that the Bone Nightmare Old Demon was finally becoming unsteady on his feet, and even the Nightmare True Monarch would occasionally pause when walking.

At this moment, however, the distance to the blood pool in the very center was still nearly a hundred meters.

This alone is enough to show how terrifying this sixth-level blood pool illusion is. Perhaps it is related to what Nightmare True Monarch said, that this blood pool... was originally a ninth-level blood pool!

Then the Bone Nightmare Demon's pace slowed down more and more.

The two of them, who were dragging the others along, were already walking with faltering steps.

Finally, after taking another step, the Bone Nightmare Demon stopped.

Nightmare Lord took a step as usual, but since he was the only one dragging everyone else along, he couldn't move them anymore, so he stopped in place.

At this point, they were only eighty meters away from the blood pool.

Although it looks long, it's actually quite close when you consider the entire illusionary field.

The remaining part of the journey is only one-tenth of the total distance.

They didn't move, and Ji Yuan's originally calm mind was instantly on edge.

After waiting for about three breaths, he suddenly noticed a palm-sized, black and white butterfly fly out from Nightmare Lord's waist and land on his shoulder.

His body, which had been somewhat stiff and dazed, instantly returned to normal.

His previously stiff hands suddenly exerted force, instantly snapping the seemingly lush and verdant Divine Vine in two.

The Bone Nightmare Demon, who had just seemed to be moving slightly, immediately stopped and remained motionless.

As for the other cultivators, they were already stunned.

It looked as if they had fallen into a very deep illusion.

This made Ji Yuan subconsciously have an idea... If I rely on Mengdie to get close to these Nascent Soul cultivators and drink a sip of Nine Netherworld Burning Longevity Wine, can I harvest them all?

If this job goes through...

Ji Yuan couldn't even imagine how wealthy he could become. Let alone the Core Formation stage, even the Nascent Soul stage, he could sit back and enjoy life for a long time, right?

Around the blood pool.

After using Dream Butterfly to return to normal, Nightmare Lord tried to take a few steps forward.

Then, as if sensing something, he paused briefly before transforming into a beam of light and escaping the illusion, returning to the mountain where Ji Yuan was.

As soon as he landed, he began to gasp for breath.

At the same time, his eyes swept over the remaining traces of the battle nearby.

"Indeed, you have not disappointed my trust."

These words were, of course, praising Ji Yuan for not forgetting their promise and successfully killing Ma Gui.

"Is this illusion really that terrifying?"

Ji Yuan did not elaborate on this issue.

He could kill a mere demon even without the methods given by Nightmare Lord; it would just take a little more magic power.

"You'll understand once you experience it for yourself."

Nightmare Lord reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Shall we set off now?"

As Ji Yuan spoke, he also released his own Dream Butterfly, which landed on his shoulder.

"Let me rest for a while before we talk about it. They won't be able to get out of this predicament anytime soon."

After Nightmare Lord finished speaking, he took out a pill and swallowed it. Then he sat down on the spot and fell into a state of silence.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to wait silently on the sidelines.

After about four or five hours, Nightmare Lord finally exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

In other words, the instant he opened his eyes, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the Nascent Soul cultivators beside the blood pool.

Seeing that they were still standing there motionless, he felt relieved and his gaze fell on Ji Yuan.

"How's your preparation going?"

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded but did not speak.

"Then let's go!"

Nightmare Lord suddenly stood up, and the Dream Butterfly in the Spirit Beast Pouch flew out and landed on his shoulder.

After that, without Ji Yuan having to worry about it, Nightmare Lord took him away on his own, transforming into a beam of light and landing at the edge of this illusion.

"No matter what happens later, the two of us absolutely cannot stray more than a foot apart."

After landing, Nightmare Lord suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Ji Yuan looked at him with suspicion, "Why?"

"Because the domain of a single third-tier Dream Butterfly cannot withstand the illusion here, it requires the domains of two Dream Butterflies to be combined. Once you break free... I'm alright, at least I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator, but you'll probably die here completely."

Nightmare Lord glanced at him indifferently.

It's a threat, but also a warning.

"I understand."

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Walk."

Upon arriving here, even the Nightmare True Lord dared not fly away again. The two of them walked side by side into this illusion.

The pace is not slow.

Perhaps because Mengdie was taking care of him, Ji Yuan didn't really feel any illusion.

The two of them quickly headed towards the blood pool in the middle of the desert.

What took them, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, half a day to traverse, they completed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Seeing the group of Nascent Soul cultivators getting closer and closer, Ji Yuan couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Nightmare True Monarch, asking:

"If we suddenly get close now and unleash a powerful attack, wouldn't we be able to kill them all?"

"hehe."

Nightmare Lord sneered when he heard the question.

"They're just trapped in an illusion, not dead. Kid, you haven't matured yet. Let me give you a piece of advice..."

"Please speak, senior."

"Never underestimate any cultivator who can form a Nascent Soul, no matter how they did it."

"Yes."

Regardless of the other person's motives, these words were indeed spoken from the bottom of their heart.

So Ji Yuan nodded very seriously.

It was here that Ji Yuan began to feel some resistance to moving forward.

Because strange things would appear before his eyes, or rather in his mind, from time to time.

Or perhaps someone suddenly appeared beneath his feet, causing him to instinctively stop, afraid that if he took another step forward, he would guess who this person was.

Or perhaps a long sword suddenly appeared in front of him, piercing straight into his brow, forcing him to dodge to the side.

But just as he was about to dodge to the side, he found that the long sword had disappeared into thin air again.

So he could only stumble and stagger forward.

He looked rather disheveled.

But actually it's not too bad, because the Nightmare True Monarch next to him, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, is still like this.

Soon, Ji Yuan passed by the group of Nascent Soul cultivators who were trapped in the illusion.

The person closest to him was his fellow villager, the Goddess of Joy.

Unfortunately, despite being from the same hometown, Ji Yuan didn't even have the chance to "shoot her in the back."

After Ji Yuan passed by them, the illusions that appeared before his eyes increased even more.

It went on and on without stopping for a moment.

The closer you get to the blood pool, the stronger the illusion becomes.

"Senior, can these two Dream Butterflies really withstand this...?"

Ji Yuan looked at the illusions that kept appearing before him, and then at the blood pool that was still seventy meters away.

He could already feel the Dream Butterfly on his shoulder trembling.

Nightmare Lord's subconscious thought was... Don't ask me, I don't know either.

But wanting to put Ji Yuan at ease, he couldn't really say those words.

He simply said, "Yes, I believe in Mengdie."

After moving forward another five meters or so, Ji Yuan felt that Meng Die on his shoulder was about to give way.

It kept trembling.

"Senior, how about I feed Mengdie some Dream Essence now? Let's see if Mengdie can hold on a little longer?"

Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

"No, feeding it this now is tantamount to courting death!"

Nightmare Lord hurriedly stopped him, so frightened that even his voice became more hurried when transmitting his thoughts.

"If we feed her now, Mengdie will start eating, and we'll probably be trapped here immediately."

"Okay... then."

Ji Yuan looked at the remaining distance and used his insect-controlling technique to sense the state of the Dream Butterfly on his shoulder.

I already have the answer in my heart.

Nightmare Lord underestimated the illusion of this place and overestimated the dream butterflies on the two people's shoulders.

"If this continues, I might get trapped in this illusion too."

Ji Yuan thought to himself, and even considered calling out "Stay!"

But just then, an unusual sound seemed to come from behind them.

It's like a very tired person suddenly taking a breath.

This unusual sight immediately made Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Lord stop in their tracks.

After catching my breath twice, I heard voices behind me.

It was a very familiar voice.

The man said, "It has been such a long time, my dearest... Master."

When Ji Yuan heard what the man said, two words immediately came to mind.

"The Liao Dynasty is finished."

Because the person speaking was none other than himself.

It was none other than the Nightmare True Monarch's prized disciple, the one named Gu Yan... the Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

If Ji Yuan could hear it, Nightmare Lord must have heard it even more clearly.

So he stopped walking, but did not turn around.

Seeing this, the Bone Nightmare Demon behind him chuckled and spoke again, "What's wrong? Now that Master has arrived, you don't even dare to acknowledge your disciple?"

"Or do you want me to continue this charade and call you... Fellow Daoist Xuanyun?"

The Bone Nightmare Demon said with a half-smile.

However, the coldness in his words, as well as the sarcasm and mockery, could not be concealed no matter what.

But since things had come to this point, Nightmare Lord stopped pretending.

Now that they've already seen through it, continuing to act will not only be useless, but will also make them look bad.

So he lowered his head, as if he were casting a hand seal to dispel the spell that concealed his appearance.

The middle-aged man's face disappeared, and in its place appeared the image of an extremely old man.

Ji Yuan turned to look at his aged face...

His portrait is displayed in the Bone Nightmare Sect's treasure vault.

This is the true appearance of Nightmare Lord!

When he spoke again, his voice had become the same aged voice that Ji Yuan had heard before.

"My good disciple, now that you have seen your master, why do you not bow?"

Nightmare Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his black and white robes fluttering in the wind and sand.

Even the white hair on his head was blown behind him by the wind.

At this moment, Ji Yuanzhen saw a sense of otherworldly elegance in him.

But what he didn't expect was...

Ji Yuan, turning slightly to the side, noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Bone Nightmare Demon behind him had actually released the counterfeit Divine Stabilizing Vine, then shook his hands and patted himself as if brushing off dust.

Then he prostrated himself before the Nightmare Lord in front of him.

"This unworthy disciple, Gu Yan, pays his respects to his master!"

He kowtowed deeply.

This time, he truly buried his forehead in the sand, and after bowing, the Bone Nightmare Demon did not get up for a long time.

Nightmare Lord remained silent.

After a moment of silence between the strange master and disciple, Nightmare Lord finally spoke:

"I remember when I saved you by the Lake of Sinking Sword, you knelt down and kowtowed like this too. You kowtowed like this when we first met, and now..."

Nightmare Lord sighed as he spoke.

"When I died, I didn't expel you from the sect, so let me say it now."

"After this one kowtow, you, Gu Yan, will no longer be my disciple, Zhou Chu's disciple."

"Yes."

The Bone Nightmare Demon responded with a deep voice.

At this moment, his voice seemed genuinely downcast.

Ji Yuan didn't know if it was the old devil pretending or if it had really touched his heart, causing him to feel this depressed feeling from the inside out.

Ji Yuan's intuition told him it should be the latter.

Because the Bone Nightmare Demon is kneeling now, kneeling means they are still considered master and disciple.

But if we wait for him to get up, then he will be our mortal enemy!

Even if you really don't want to get up, you still have to.

We can't just kneel here forever.

However, the moment he stood up, he twisted his hands to the left and right and back.

Two enormous handprints appeared spontaneously.

With this single move, he managed to take all the remaining Nascent Soul stage monsters away from this place.

"Let's go too!"

The voice of Nightmare Lord echoed in Ji Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

He then reached out and grabbed Ji Yuan by the collar, and the two of them transformed into streaks of light, flying straight away.

Getting in was incredibly difficult, but getting out will be quick now.

In the blink of an eye, the two flew out of the illusion and landed above a sand dune in the distance.

The moment Ji Yuan left the illusion, he put away the Dream Butterfly on his shoulder.

After landing on the sand dune, the two turned around to look at each other.

Those who had been brought out by the Nightmare Demon had now landed on the opposite sand dune.

After escaping the illusion, they gradually regained their senses.

Lord Xuanshe and Old Demon Tiansha disliked each other, so upon discovering each other, they immediately separated and landed on a nearby mountain.

The Lord of the Soul Palace seemed to have seen something in the illusion, and he even shook his head while holding it.

As for the Joyful Goddess, she was supporting the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, who appeared to be injured.

Only the Bone Nightmare Old Demon looked at the Nightmare True Monarch opposite him with a complicated expression.

Soon, the others also noticed something was wrong.

The Heavenly Demon was the first to clearly see the figure opposite him, and the instant he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

"Nightmare...it was you!"

"You're still alive!"

His opening remarks immediately ignited the entire audience.

Ji Yuan noticed that as soon as he said those words, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present turned their gazes toward him.

It landed on him, and also on the Nightmare True Lord beside him.

"You rascal... you're quite resilient."

These words were spoken by the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace.

Moreover, the look in his eyes as he spoke was extremely complicated.

"You old bastard, you're not dead!"

The Soul Palace Master seemed to have a really good relationship with Nightmare True Monarch, so when he said these words, his voice was noticeably hoarse and filled with surprise.

Moreover, the moment he recognized Nightmare Lord, he flew away from Bone Nightmare Old Demon and landed on a distant sand dune.

Ji Yuan also took a special look at where he was.

Although he showed affection for Nightmare Lord, he stood right between Nightmare Lord and Bone Nightmare Demon, giving the impression that he was not helping either side.

Among the gazes directed at Nightmare Lord, the most complex was that of Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

The thought of seeing her deceased husband appear before her, seeing her with her lover... and the lover being her former disciple.

The reason he became a deceased husband was largely due to her.

But that's just how it is.

Such a person.

Now she has reappeared in front of her... Ji Yuan couldn't tell what she was feeling, but judging from her eyes, she had a lot on her mind.

Regret, pain, resentment, surprise, fear...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I was filled with mixed feelings.

But no matter how complicated one's feelings are, the words that come to mind are just a trembling sentence.

When the Fire Spirit Mother speaks now, her voice is no longer that of a young girl, but rather like that of a hoarse old woman.

"You...you, Zhou Chu, how come you're not dead?"

The Fire Spirit Mother's voice trembled as she spoke, and there was a hint of sobbing in her trembling.

When Nightmare True Lord, who was beside Ji Yuan, heard this familiar voice, his body seemed to tremble slightly.

He looked at the strange young couple on the opposite sand dune and sneered:

"Thanks to you adulterers, I escaped with my life."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Lord looked up in surprise, glancing around in astonishment before finally fixing his gaze on Nightmare Lord.

"Nightmare, you mean, back then when you got into trouble... it really was those two who were behind it?"

When the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon said this, he pointed at the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.

The Lord of the Black Serpent Palace seemed to have just learned of this as well. He rested his left hand on his right elbow, while his right hand stroked his smooth chin, pondering:

"The disciple conspired with his master's wife to kill his master, and then became his Daoist partner with his master's wife... Tsk tsk, if this drama were to spread, the Abyss Continent would have plenty of material to laugh about for the next three hundred years."

As he spoke, he looked at the silent Bone Nightmare Demon opposite him and asked very seriously:

"Brother Bone Nightmare, you've been through this and are also a participant in it. Tell me, is the love between men and women really so captivating that it could drive you to do something like killing your master?"

The Bone Nightmare Demon ignored his sarcastic remarks.

Lord Xuanshe could only shake his head to himself.

"I used to think I was a demon, but compared to you, the Bone Nightmare Demon, I, the Xuan Snake, am still a piece of trash."

Supporting the Fire Spirit Demon Mother, the Joyful Lady had momentarily forgotten what other secret treasures lay hidden here.

She's completely focused on this matter now, and she only has one thought in her mind... What a lively scene!

Seeing that no one spoke, the Bone Nightmare Demon narrowed his eyes and looked at the Nightmare True Monarch opposite him, sneering:

"Tsk tsk tsk, so many years have passed, but Master, you haven't changed at all. Your ability to reverse Yin and Yang... has only become more and more masterful."

"But then again, you died once, so if you put yourself in the victim's shoes, wouldn't everyone feel some sympathy for you?"

"It's a pity that justice resides in the hearts of the people."

"If I hadn't killed you back then, I'd probably be the one you refined into a second Nascent Soul, wouldn't I?"

What?

There's a twist?!

This was the thought that subconsciously popped into Ji Yuan's mind.

And this was also the thought of the other Nascent Soul cultivators present... On the surface, it seemed that the Bone Nightmare Old Demon had killed his master and then married his master's wife.

But actually?

It turns out that Nightmare Lord was the one who tried to kill first?

Ji Yuan turned his head and looked at Nightmare True Lord beside him with a slight surprise.

It means that you didn't mention this before.

"A second Nascent Soul?"

Upon hearing this, Nightmare Lord couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, seemingly having no desire or inclination to explain.

Ji Yuan didn't know why either.

Is there some explanation behind this?

Just as he was wondering, the Lord of the Soul Palace spoke.

"This method of cultivating the second Nascent Soul requires the assistance of a pure Five Elements Spiritual Infant. Brother Gu Yan, could it be that you are one of the Five Elements Spiritual Infants?"

"I am not, but back then, this old demon had a supreme water spirit infant among the five elements. He wanted to implant this supreme water spirit infant into my body and then refine it with the help of my body to make it his second nascent soul."

As the old demon of bone nightmares spoke, his face darkened. With a hand seal, two streams of light flew out from his dantian and landed in front of him, transforming into two palm-sized figures.

Judging from his appearance, he was exactly the same as him.

"Nascent Souls! He actually has two Nascent Souls!"

Ji Yuan was somewhat shocked by what he saw, let alone the other Nascent Soul cultivators who thought they knew about his Bone Nightmare.

It feels like everyone agreed to have a feast together, but you secretly went back and studied like crazy, and as a result, everyone else failed the final exam, but you got a perfect score.

Having inadvertently revealed his strength by exposing two Nascent Souls, the Bone Nightmare Demon, having achieved his goal, put his two Nascent Souls away.

When he looked at the other cultivators again, his gaze had changed slightly.

"After I killed that old demon back then, I obtained this Supreme Water Spirit Infant and refined it into my second Nascent Soul. Master, you shouldn't have anything to say about that, right?"

Nightmare Lord looked at his proud and arrogant disciple, but there was not much anger in his eyes.

Or rather, the anger had already subsided long ago.

"I must say, Gu Yan, you are indeed a genius. You have opportunity, ability, and strategy."

"If we, master and disciple, had not come to this point, but instead conspired together to create the Nightmare Sect, then a sect with three Nascent Soul cultivators would have been a prominent sect even in the entire Abyss Continent."

Nightmare Lord looked around and finally sighed.

"If I had truly been fortunate enough to obtain this Supreme Water Spirit Infant back then, do you think Gu Yan would still have any chance with me?"

"Wait, wait."

They argued there, while the rest of the people watched the spectacle.

But soon some people felt that the excitement wasn't big enough.

So he jumped out.

The only person present capable of doing such a thing is the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace.

He stood up, raised his hands, and gently pressed them down, as if to calm the situation on both sides, while also attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Yuan also looked at him.

The lord of the Xuan Snake Palace said, "That's enough. This is the world of cultivation. It's all about deceit and treachery, you kill me and I kill you. Otherwise, what's the point of talking about competing for the Great Dao?"

"Whether it's Nightmare who wants to kill Bone Nightmare, or Bone Nightmare who wants to kill Nightmare, it's all the same."

"Bone Nightmare failed to kill Nightmare before, and now Nightmare has returned. What's he doing back? Isn't it just for revenge?"

"So no matter how much you talk about it, in the end it all comes down to how you actually do it."

"You old devil, you're right."

The Heavenly Fiend Old Demon nodded, unusually expressing his agreement with the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace.

"No amount of talk is as good as a fight. Whoever wins will be the one who has the right to stand out."

Although Ji Yuan had been prepared, he was still somewhat worried. He hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Nightmare True Lord, asking:

"Senior, we haven't obtained the treasure from the blood pool yet. Are you...are you confident you can get your hands on it?"

Nightmare Lord ignored him. As if he had thought of something, he asked with a hint of doubt:

"Gu Yan, how did you find my whereabouts? I don't remember us ever meeting since we entered this Rakshasa Sea, have we?"

The Bone Nightmare Demon seemed extremely pleased that Nightmare True Lord had such doubts.

So a joyful smile spread across his face, and even his voice carried a hint of seduction.

"Want to know? I'll tell you after you die."

"hehe."

Nightmare Lord sneered, seemingly extremely disdainful of Bone Nightmare Old Demon's actions.

He quickly did some calculations and then suddenly raised his head, looking at the person opposite him with a look of shock.

"You've met... Qiu Qianhai?"

What?!

Ji Yuan dared not show the slightest surprise, but his heart was in turmoil.

If that's the case, then the situation becomes quite complicated.

If Qiu Qianhai were to fall into the hands of the Bone Nightmare Demon, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had just escaped one tiger's den only to fall into another.

Moreover, Qiu Qianhai was willing to reveal these things to the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, even telling him the identity of the Nightmare True Monarch.

...Was he sincere?

But if not, then wouldn't he have already encountered a dangerous situation? If so, how would he face the Nightmare Lord?

"We both just got here a short time ago, and I ran into Nightmare Lord, while he ran into Bone Nightmare Demon... I refuse to believe there wasn't some kind of arrangement involved."

"And who else but the Ghost Messenger could orchestrate all this in the Rakshasa Sea? But what is its purpose in doing this? If it made me run into Nightmare Lord because it sided with Nightmare Lord, then by letting Qiu Qianhai encounter Bone Nightmare Demon, it has harmed Nightmare Lord."

For a moment, Ji Yuan's mind raced with thoughts.

When the Bone Nightmare Demon heard this question, he was not surprised, but looked at Nightmare True Monarch with disdain.

"Back then, you took me as your disciple so that I could help you refine this second Nascent Soul. Now you've found me a junior brother, but it turns out it's also for possession... Master, oh Master, all I can say is that after hundreds of years, your personality hasn't changed at all."

"Aren't you afraid of running into ghosts if you walk alone at night too often?"

"But living in the body of this Corpse King must be quite uncomfortable, right?"

The old demon of bone nightmares revealed the truth in a few words.

He was haunted by a bone nightmare when he encountered Qiu Qianhai!

They also learned these secrets from Qiu Qianhai!

"They're all...traitors!!!"

Nightmare Lord said through gritted teeth.

He immediately raised his hands and formed several hand seals in front of him, on which several restrictions resembling array plates appeared.

However, the current restrictions are completely empty.

Seeing this, the Bone Nightmare Demon smiled slightly:

"Don't bother trying, Master. Your meager cultivation level... I could break through it hundreds of years ago, let alone now."

"I have already removed all the restrictions on my junior brother, including those within his soul."

"Like this..."

Bone Nightmare snapped his fingers as he spoke.

"Snap—"

The several restrictions in Nightmare Lord's hands shattered instantly.

……not good!

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately guessed that Nightmare Lord, having lost several trump cards in succession, was about to break off all pretense of civility.

"Chase the lightning!"

He had just transformed into lightning and left when Nightmare Lord slapped the spot where he had just stood.

If he had hesitated for even a second, he would have been dead right there.

He reappeared on the sand dune where the Lord of the Black Serpent Palace was located.

Before the old snake could react, Ji Yuan had already transmitted his voice:

"Senior, the Holy Fish King asked me to deliver a message to you!"

As soon as he spoke, the Lord of the Xuan Snake Palace narrowed his eyes instantly. He took a step forward and stopped the Nightmare True Monarch who was charging towards him in mid-air, and slowly said:

"This young friend... I, Xuan She, will protect him!"
