Chapter 1113: Chapter 398: The Truth Behind All Stories

He didn’t let Ji Yuan’s trust down, for at that moment he spoke, he unfolded a restriction to protect this sand dune.

As for the master and disciple Nightmare True Monarch and Bone Nightmare Old Demon... they immediately flew up into the sky.

In an instant, a violent wave of energy erupted in the sky over the Burning Desolation Desert.

The Nascent Soul battle... unfolded instantly!

And this Nascent Soul battle was quite different from the ones Ji Yuan had witnessed before.

The two fighting this time held a deadly grudge against each other.

So, upon their first clash, they used all their strength, each move aimed at taking the other’s life.

Everyone on the mountaintop was looking up.

Ji Yuan was no exception.

However, with his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, wanting to clearly see the Magical Combat between two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators... that was simply too difficult.

As for Divine Sense, he dared not release it.

The combat energy in the sky was too intense, and he had no doubt that if he tried to extend his Divine Sense, it would be immediately torn apart.

Relying solely on his eyesight, he really couldn’t see much.

Two long rainbows collided continuously in the sky, then blood clouds drifted about.

Later, the movements in the sky quieted, as if the Magical Combat had ended... most likely those two old demons were comparing their Great Dream Demon Scripture.

Ji Yuan speculated.

He couldn’t see clearly, but the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake could see it all.

"Tsk, indeed, fights are best watched between those from the same sect, with each move countered, neither able to do anything to the other."

"May I ask, who holds the upper hand now?" Ji Yuan tentatively asked.

"Bone Nightmare."

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake didn’t hesitate at all, immediately saying:

"Bone Nightmare Old Demon is truly talented, given time, our Jiyuan Continent might see the rise of a new late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

To be praised like this by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, it seems Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s strength is indeed extraordinary.

Ji Yuan silently noted this, thinking that if he were to seek vengeance against Bone Nightmare Old Demon in the future, he would need late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

"But Nightmare isn’t bad either, he seems to have held back something to handle Gu Yan’s subsequent moves, but unfortunately, lacking a Lifebound Magical Treasure, and considering this cultivation is borrowed, in the end, he’s still anxious."

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake sighed in regret.

But Ji Yuan knew something else.

Nightmare True Monarch chose to act now because he thought he could obtain the treasure within the Sixth Transformation Blood Pool, which would significantly enhance his strength, making it not a difficult task to defeat Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

Yet, he didn’t anticipate the difference would be one move short.

Thus resulting in this situation.

"Perhaps he has something up his sleeve." Ji Yuan speculated.

"He must have."

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake said with interest: "When Bone Nightmare Old Demon killed him years ago, he surely did everything to ensure the deed was done, yet he managed to escape with his life. Now, he comes prepared."

"Great, it seems like Nightmare True Monarch has won the duel of the Great Dream Demon Scripture."

As the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake’s words fell, the battle resumed in the sky.

And this time, the fighting was far more intense than before.

Sounds of violent explosions roared continuously, and waves of techniques fell to the sand, carving deep grooves.

"Did you kill Ma Gui?"

Ji Yuan was engrossed, when suddenly the voice of Fire Spirit Ghost Mother sounded in his sense sea.

He didn’t turn to look, simply responding in the sense sea:

"He wanted to kill me, I had no choice but to kill him."

"Good."

Fire Spirit Ghost Mother didn’t probe into Ji Yuan’s identity further nor did she ask more questions. In any case, after hearing this answer, she withdrew her Divine Sense.

But soon the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake asked: "What did she ask you?"

Fire Spirit Ghost Mother was at early-stage Nascent Soul, while the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake was mid-stage Nascent Soul.

With Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s Divine Sense probing, he naturally noticed, but did not hinder it.

"She asked if I killed Ma Gui."

It wasn’t a big deal, so Ji Yuan naturally replied truthfully.

"Just that?"

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake said, glancing at the sand dune where Ma Gui and his cohort had been, a mere Core Formation cultivator, even as a disciple of Bone Nightmare Old Demon, so what?

Is it worth such questioning?

As he was pondering this peculiar situation, he suddenly turned to look at Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.

Because, just in this fleeting moment, Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, who had just withdrawn her Divine Sense, probed with her Divine Sense again.

Following this, Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s voice again sounded in Ji Yuan’s sense sea.

"Ma Gui was cultivated by Bone Nightmare to serve as a Nascent Soul avatar, to hold his Second Nascent Soul... When Ma Gui forms his Nascent Soul, Bone Nightmare will seize him, thus Bone Nightmare will effectively have the cultivation of two Nascent Souls."

"He carefully selected among disciples, finally choosing someone like Ma Gui. Now that you’ve killed him, Bone Nightmare will surely be extremely angry at you. I don’t know your relationship with Xuan Snake, but remember to have him protect you, Bone Nightmare has no way to deal with Xuan Snake."

"That’s all, don’t say I told you these things."

After saying this, Fire Spirit Ghost Mother quickly withdrew her Divine Sense.

As a result, Ji Yuan instinctively looked over at Fire Spirit Ghost Mother in the distance.

He then noticed that the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, who once appeared as a young girl, had unknownly shed her human skin, and now stood in the sky above the sand dune, beside Lady of Joy, transformed into an extremely old crone.

Just how old?
