Big Bodhi - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: The Death of the Dead

Ji Yue Nian raised his head to look at the woman standing in the air and said softly, “If I’m not wrong, after you came into being with the help of your wish power, you should have been subject to some kind of restriction, so that you were unable to leave the thatched village at all, otherwise you wouldn’t have led me here so deliberately.”

For the first time, there was an obvious shock in the woman’s eyes, and the ghostly energy around her body gradually stopped.

What Ji Yue Nian had said was true, she only possessed the cultivation level of the Upper Realm of the Returned Truth within the Mao Cao Village, after she left the village, she was only a special ghost of the Realm of the Mysterious Xuan.

Although she had sensed the arrival of the two Taoists and the young man with the sword, she had not paid any attention to them, and once they dared to step into the village, she could destroy them with the palm of her hand with her cultivation at the Upper Realm of Reality.

But after Ji Yue Nian came, she sensed a vague sense of crisis, which is why she used up some of her body ghost essence to forcibly split a ghost shadow and leave the village, dipping into the body of the twisted-tailed girl, trying to lure Ji Yue Nian to kill her first.

“Do you want those mountain god idols within the Mao Cao Village?” Ji Yue Nian stood quietly outside the village and suddenly spoke.

The woman’s gaze moved slightly, but she did not speak anything.

Ji Yue Nian said softly, “I can help you find all of them, however, you need to give me 30% of the body ghost origin.”

“Impossible!” The woman shook her head, “The Body Ghost Origin is what separates me from the rest of the ghosts, asking for 30% of my Body Ghost Origin, you’re dreaming!”

Without a word, Ji Yue Nian turned his head and walked away.

As long as he did not step inside the village, he would not be in any danger under the golden Profound power of the Great Compassion Mantra.

“Stand still!” The woman’s voice came from behind herself, “At most, you will be given 10% of your body’s Ghost Origin, and you will have to find all the Mountain God idols in the Mao Cao Village.”

The young man did not turn around and said softly, “Twenty percent.”

The woman gritted her teeth, “If it weren’t for the fact that I had lost my body and spirit and couldn’t touch those mountain gods…nothing, 20% would be 20%.”

Even if she had to pay a full 20% of her body ghost origin, to her, the wish power within those Mountain God idols was much more important.

“Good.”

After Ji Yue Nian said this, he headed straight towards the village of Desolate Grass.

The body ghost origin was of great use to him.

……

Tai Chu ancient city, Ji family.

“Mother, do we really have to do this?”

With tears on her face, Ji Xixue raised her head sobbing, looking at the woman with a decisive expression in front of her.

The woman lowered her gaze, her face softening a little, and said in a low voice, “Xue, my mother’s love for Ji Hong has never changed, but now he wants to push you and me into an abyss.

“Father would not do that.” Ji Xixue stretched out her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face and said: “Father has always been kind and generous, how could he bear to let us be charged of murdering the eldest son? I don’t believe it!”

“Mighty kindness and generosity?” The woman laughed and shook her head, reaching out to touch Ji Xixue’s full head of green hair: “Xixue, listen to mother, quickly take the things I gave you and leave, and never come back.”

Boom!

The door of the room was smashed to pieces by a violent and incomparable profound energy!

“Leave? Where do you want Ji Xixue to go?”

Ji Hong’s face was full of frost as he walked in with a large stride, followed by more than ten elite Ji Family House Guards with an incomparably strong aura.

“Master!?” The woman’s face changed slightly, obviously not expecting Ji Hong to come to the side courtyard at this moment and break into the house so brutally.

Ji Luoyan, the only son in the three houses of the Ji family, came up from behind Ji Hong and said in a low voice, “Master, what should we do with the two people who murdered the eldest son?”

“Xuxue’er heart is like a snake and scorpion, because she hated the eldest son Ji Yue Nian, and wanted to seek a position for Ji Xi Xue, given by the Supreme Spirit of Crane Xuan. She invited the Supreme Spirit of Return to the True Realm to abolish Ji Yue Nian’s cultivation, and threw him into the barrier of the Heavenly Furnace, where he died without seeing his body.” As Ji Hong’s cold voice came out, the woman’s face became paler and paler. “These two have committed the most heinous crimes, this family head has decided to have them …… executed on the spot.”

Ji Luoyan was stunned for a moment, looking sideways at the mother and daughter, his heart felt a hint of intolerance, but then it was forcibly suppressed by reason, and he respectfully answered, “I respectfully obey the order of the family head.”

“Father! This is not true! The family head! Ji Yue…… grand duke really wasn’t harmed by us! Father!” Ji Xixue cried and crawled over, hugging Ji Hong’s thigh, already somewhat incoherent.

“Magical Snow, come back.” Xu Lian’er raised her head and looked fiercely at the man she loved most, gritting her teeth, “Ji Hong knows better than anyone that you and I are innocent, what is the of telling him this?”

The ten or so elite Ji family guards were all expressionless, standing in the hall room, waiting for orders.

Ji Hong looked down at the Ji Xixue and glanced at Ji Luoyan, who did not say a word, and frowned slightly as he said in a cold voice, “Ji Luoyan, don’t do anything yet!

In order to support the third house to suppress the second house of Ji Luo Yan and Ji Bai Yu, Ji Hong had also taken great pains to help Ji Luoyan to establish some authority at this time.

“Yes, Patriarch!”

With a ruthless heart, Ji Luoyan backhandedly drew out the long sword at his waist and, without further hesitation, slashed fiercely towards Ji Xixue at Ji Hong’s feet!

He had not yet ignited the fire of his heart, and was not considered a true cultivator.

“Stop!”

The sound of gold and iron clashing spread throughout the entire hall room, Xu Lian’er rushed over with a thin sword at some point, stopping Ji Luoyan’s sword momentum.

“Ji Hong, although my father has long since expelled me from the family, if you really kill me, are you really not afraid that one day the Xu family will come looking for you?”

Xu Lian’er’s face was fierce, her mother’s family, which she never wanted to think of, had become her and Ji Xi Xue’s only straw to save their lives.

Ji Hong’s face was expressionless, heedless.

Looking up at the cold glow of the sword above her head, Ji Xixue froze in place.

It was not until then that she truly believed that her father, who had been so majestic and generous in the past, really wanted to kill her.

“Why, why!?”

Ji Xixue looked at Ji Hong, whose face was cold and solemn, and felt a strangeness that she had never felt before.

Although Ji Hong was the head of the family, he was not too harsh to her and even occasionally cared for her. At this moment, in Ji Xue’s eyes, all the memories of Ji Hong were shattered and replaced by his cold, bone-chilling gaze.

Boom!

A crimson flame rose up from the depths of her soul!

At this moment, she had actually ignited a fire in her heart!

Although the Ji family was one of the several cultivation families that governed the ancient city of Tai Chu, there were only a few people who had kindled their heart flames, with only ten people at the Profound Energy Realm and only two at the True Realm, which showed how difficult it was to kindle a heart flame.

The difficulty of igniting the Heart Flame can be seen in the fact that the cultivation families with cultivation resources and ancestral bloodlines are still in such a situation, and the difficulty of igniting the Heart Flame can be imagined by those mortal people with no background.
