"That old ghost has little time left, so his actions are becoming increasingly reckless."

Staring in the direction where True Monarch Bihai and his group disappeared, True Monarch Fuguang couldn't help but say with a gloomy face:

"Especially after his only disciple Master Bi Chenzi fell, in the True Words Sect, he has nothing left to hold onto.

Lei Xia, unless necessary, you'd better refrain from making a move again.

I suspect that old ghost's true target might just be you."

Upon hearing this, Master Lei Xia furrowed her elegant brows deeply.

She knew that True Monarch Fuguang wasn't wrong.

If it were any other Nascent Soul True Monarch, they wouldn't act like that at all.

Even if you don't care about your disciples, you'll still have to consider your direct descendants.

Under such circumstances, any Nascent Soul True Monarch would retain some bottom line in their actions.

But looking at True Monarch Bihai, it was obvious none of those things existed anymore.

Saying he's an unpredictable madman would not be an exaggeration.

In the end, it's because this person doesn't have much lifespan left.

Any cultivator nearing the end of their lifespan.

Be they Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

Will inevitably have issues with their state of mind.

It's completely impossible to guess their thoughts with conventional thinking.

With this in mind, Master Lei Xia couldn't help but nod.

"Alright, in the future battles, unless necessary, I won't make a move lightly."

A moment later.

True Monarch Fuguang led Master Lei Xia and their group back to their own war zone base.

At that instant, the expressions of both True Monarch Fuguang and Master Lei Xia froze.

The next moment, they quietly disappeared from where they were standing.

When they reappeared, they were in a certain cave abode.

At this moment, a slender and towering figure, with a handsome face like an exiled immortal, appeared before their eyes.

"Junior Brother Nanhua!"

True Monarch Fuguang's face immediately revealed a smile.

Just now, he and Master Lei Xia both received a message transmission.

The owner of this transmission was none other than Ji Haoyuan!

"Senior Brother Fuguang."

Ji Haoyuan smiled and performed a salutary bow to True Monarch Fuguang.

Then, his gaze finally fell upon Master Lei Xia, who was dressed in a purple gown, and he smiled as he spoke:

"Senior Sister, long time no see."

Master Lei Xia clearly did not expect to see Ji Haoyuan here.

A trace of complex emotions appeared on her face as she bowed to Ji Haoyuan and said:

"Lei Xia greets True Monarch Nanhua."

Upon hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Ji Haoyuan's face.

"Senior Sister, ever since I came to the Demonstration Sect, you have always taken great care of me. With no outsiders here, please call me Junior Brother as before."

Hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, a rare hint of hesitation appeared on Master Lei Xia's face.

But soon, she understood something and a smile appeared on her face. Nodding to Ji Haoyuan, she said:

"Alright, then from now on, I won't stand on ceremony with you, Junior Brother."

She was never one to be awkward or pretentious.

Previously, due to various reasons, or perhaps apprehensions, she had some slight internal conflicts.

Now, she felt that familiar sincerity from Ji Haoyuan.

The dust in her heart was finally wiped clean.

In an instant, her entire being exuded a sense of clarity from inside out.

Clearly, in just this brief moment, Master Lei Xia's state of mind seemed to have greatly improved.

Seeing this, True Monarch Fuguang appeared somewhat surprised.

But Ji Haoyuan's face revealed a genuine smile.

Then he spoke up, congratulating Master Lei Xia.

After that, a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face as he looked at the two of them and said:

"Senior Brother Fuguang, and Senior Sister, the most important reason I came here this time is to resolve the karmic ties with True Monarch Bihai."

"Resolve the karmic ties with True Monarch Bihai?"

Hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, both True Monarch Fuguang and Master Lei Xia were visibly surprised.

Clearly, they were very aware of exactly what Ji Haoyuan meant by resolving karmic ties.

"Junior Brother Nanhua, wouldn't this be too risky?

Bihai, that old ghost, although he's not a good person, he's cultivated for over a thousand years. His cultivation is only a step away from mid-Nascent Soul.

Are you sure you really want to resolve karmic ties with him at this time?"

True Monarch Fuguang was visibly concerned.

The silent Master Lei Xia also cast a concerned glance at Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan nodded affirmatively.

"That's right, I indeed came specifically for this matter.

You don't need to worry too much, I have great confidence in this matter.

However, during this process, there are a few things that require your assistance."

As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan explained his thoughts to them.

After listening,

Master Lei Xia was the first to agree.

"Junior Brother, regarding what you've said, I have no issues on my side."

On the other side, after a brief consideration, True Monarch Fuguang also nodded slightly.

"If that's the case, then perhaps it might indeed be worth a try.

However, to lure that old ghost Bihai out again without arousing his suspicion, Lei Xia must be used as bait.

In doing so, she certainly needs to take on considerable risk.

Junior Brother Nanhua, I'm asking you one last time—are you sure you're confident about this?"

By the end, True Monarch Fuguang's face had turned very serious.

This was also out of consideration for Master Lei Xia's safety.

If any unexpected event occurred on Ji Haoyuan's side, Master Lei Xia would face great danger alone against True Monarch Bihai.

This was something not only True Monarch Fuguang but also every Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Demonstration Sect did not want to see.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Fuguang, without absolute confidence, I would never let Senior Sister take such risks."

Ji Haoyuan nodded as he replied, taking something out from his own stash and smiling as he passed it to Master Lei Xia.

"Senior Sister, this is the imitation fourth-grade true treasure, the Seven Luminaries Celestial Profound Tower, that Senior Brother Sect Leader gave me that day.

It no longer serves much purpose for me, so I give it to you as your protective artifact."

Seeing Ji Haoyuan take out the Seven Luminaries Celestial Profound Tower, True Monarch Fuguang involuntarily felt a bit relieved.

No matter what, with this imitation fourth-grade true treasure, even if Master Lei Xia faced direct attacks from True Monarch Bihai, she wouldn't be completely unable to defend herself.

Master Lei Xia, however, did not expect Ji Haoyuan would give her something so precious.

It's important to know that although an imitation fourth-grade true treasure isn't a true fourth-grade true treasure, it does possess a trace of fourth-grade power.

The most important aspect is that this level of treasure can be perfectly wielded by cultivators like them at the Golden Core stage.

It's one of the most suitable treasures for them to use.
