Big Bodhi - Chapter 20-1

Chapter 20: He Who Doesn’t Know Woe to Himself (1/2)

“Zhao Lun, roll over and take a look.”

Under the majestic West City Gate, dozens of cold-blooded black armoured city guards were investigating the bustling flow of people in great detail. One of the young leaders looked at the place where Ji Yuenian stood, turning his head, he gave an order to a guard next to him.

Zhao Lun gave a low reply and walked straight towards the western city gate.

The walls of the ancient city of Tai Chu were too high, the gates were extremely wide, and there were many people coming and going. In order to prevent some spirits and demons from infiltrating the city, these black-armoured city guards were so dedicated to their duties that they did not dare to be lax.

Ji Yue Nian stood in the same place for a long time, with an aura that was not like that of a mortal, and had long attracted the attention of these black-armoured city guards.

“I’m afraid this Taoist master is not from the ancient city of Tai Chu?”

Zhao Lun walked over and slightly arched his hand towards Ji Yue Nian, although his face was still calm, his heart had already turned into shocking waves.

The city guard token at his waist was burning, and there was a bright black light flowing endlessly, which meant that …… it had sensed an incomparably dense ghostly aura in Ji Yue Nian’s body!

And according to this city guard token such a violent reaction, only afraid that this person is not an ordinary ghost at all!

At this moment, Zhao Lun had already concluded that Ji Yue Nian was a ghostly creature, but he was so worried about his own safety that he didn’t dare to turn around and run away. He only slightly turned his head to the side and frantically wink at the black-armoured city guards under the West City Gate.

“How you said that?”

Ji Yuenian shook his head with a young smile, and as his mind moved, his fair and slender fingers flicked slightly, inadvertently taking the Regal Ghost Clothes into the Divine Palace Cave.

With the disappearance of the Regal Ghost Clothes, the City Guard Token around Zhao Lun’s waist also gradually fell silent.

“Zhao Lun, what’s wrong!?”

The leader-like black-armoured House Guard noticed Zhao Lun’s abnormality and spoke in a deep voice to ask while leading several people towards this place with quick steps.

“Commander Ji Bugui, this person is a ghostly creature! He wants to infiltrate the frontier within the walls of the ancient city of Tai Chu!” There was some fear between Zhao Lun’s expressions, and as he spoke, he slowly retreated towards the West City Gate.

“Ghost creature!?” A mortal just happened to pass by, and upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but look at Zhao Lun with a gaze of a fool.

More people who passed by did not care about these matters that did not concern them, and glanced at them casually before leaving in a hurry.

Ji Bugui lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Lun on the buttocks, scolding him in a cold voice, “Wimp! This is the ancient city of Tai Chu! How could any demons dare to come here?”

Demons, spirits and things like that were at least recognised by the human race, and the ancient city of Tai Chu was now strictly forbidden to allow demons, spirits and monsters to enter, simply because it was a relatively homogeneous human ancient city. In the rest of the ancient cities under the rule of the Tai Chu Ancient Sect, there is no shortage of demon cities full of demons.

But ghosts were completely different. Moreover, with the Tai Chu Land God, the God of Righteousness, guarding the city, no demon or ghost would dare to come even half a step closer to the ancient city of Tai Chu.

“Commander Ji Bugui, I really didn’t lie to you! Just now, the City Guard token really sensed an extremely bizarre ghostly power!” Zhao Lun cried out and took off his City Guard token from his waist.

But then his expression completely froze, the City Guard Token had somehow regained its calmness, and there was not a single reaction on it.

“Stupid!”

Ji Bugui’s face showed impatience as he pushed Zhao Yue aside and marched two feet closer to Ji Yue Nian.

“Ji Bugui …… are you a member of the fourth house of the Ji family?” Ji Yuenian glanced at Ji Bugui, and asked softly.

Ji Bugui was only able to see Ji Yuenian’s appearance at this time.

After a few breaths, he still seemed to be in disbelief and spoke tentatively, “Could it be the…… Prince?”

After the soul cleansing and purity of the marrow, Ji Yue Nian had undergone an incredible transformation from the inside to the outside, and his already handsome appearance was even more attractive than before, making Ji Bugui a little afraid to conclude for a moment.

Ji Yue Nian nodded and said, “It’s me.”

“Grand Prince! It’s really you!?”

Ji Bugui’s face was incomparably excited, he had always been calm, but at this moment, he was rarely at a loss for words.

The ancient city of Tai Chu was vast and magnificent, with hundreds of thousands of mortal people within it, and the Ji family was one of the several cultivation families above all mortal people, and Ji Yue Nian, who had once ignited the sixth-grade heart flame in the sequence at the age of six, was the most dazzling of them all.

Even though Ji Bugui belonged to the same family as him, the high and mighty Grand Duke Ji Yue Nian was still someone he could not come into contact with on a regular basis.

“Grand Duke, you can actually recognize me! It’s really …… good that you’ve …… come back now. That the Ji family is in chaos! I will take the grand duke back to the Ji family to see the family head!”

Ji Bugui’s mood was agitated, and he was already a little incoherent.

“What kind of chaos? Tell me.” The young man flicked the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and a flash of deep blue profound energy appeared. It sank into Ji Bugui’s eyebrows, and his mind became calmer in an instant.

“After the disappearance of the Grand Duke, the position given to the Ji family Lord was left vacant, and the Grand Elder Ji Luoyan had a big dispute with the family head. The Ji Family almost broke out into irreparable civil unrest!”

Ji Yue Nian thought for a moment and said, “Ji Luoyan definitely wants Ji Baiyu to inherit my position, and my father… If there is no accident, should I change to support Ji Liuguang, the only son of the third house?

“Grand Duke divine calculation,” Ji Bugui revealed a look of reverence and admiration in his gaze, “but a few days ago something happened to the Ji family that shocked the ancient city of Tai Chu, it was ……”
