Ji Yuan ponders the difficult situation of confronting the Nascent Soul Monster possessing Qiu Qianhai. Meanwhile, a fierce battle rages over the Invisible God Seek Green Vine, with cultivators using powerful trump cards to defeat it. As the vine collapses and flees underground, a treasure light emanates from the damaged Qingyue Building, sparking a race between Qiu Qianhai's master and Xun Tianji, who clash amidst the chaos.

Nightmare True Monarch swept over them expressionlessly and finally looked at Xun Tianji.

"They are too noisy. Why don’t you and I join forces to kill them all first? We can take their contribution points... Anyway, leaving them with it is a waste."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room changed immediately.

Even Xiao Xuan had to retreat a little distance.

He knew well that these two people... were both lunatics!

Words like these might be a joke if spoken by others, but for these two, they would most likely agree in a heartbeat.

Everyone present knew this, so they all moved aside.

When Xun Tianji heard this suggestion, he seriously thought about it for a moment, then turned to look at the Peak Core Formation Cultivators behind him.

After some contemplation, he still shook his head.

"If I were to kill them all, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself when I go out. My mother might not be able to protect me then."

"Heh, coward."

Seeing that he wasn’t taking the bait, Nightmare True Monarch sneered disdainfully.

Then he looked at the others, asking in a deep voice, "So are you all determined to stop me?"

"Hehe, there is only one Miracle Treasure, and everyone wants it..." Yan Zhirou, whose breath was still unsteady in the distance, proposed, "In my opinion, let’s do it this way, everyone put a price on it and let’s see whose price is the highest, that person gets it, and the treasures used for the prices will be evenly divided among the rest. How about it?"

Once this suggestion was made, many present exchanged glances.

Indeed, this seemed like the best solution for them.

After all, if they kept fighting... it would be hard to determine victory, and it would only lead to life and death.

Further away, Luojia Zhenren was a little unsure of the truth. She was inclined towards Old Demon Ji, but now the problem was that there were two Old Demon Jis!

The one they called "Insect Demon" earlier, whether in appearance or breath, was exactly the same as the Old Demon Ji she knew.

Moreover, he kept claiming he was the real Ji Yuan.

The suspected Old Demon Ji before her didn’t deny it immediately... which was fine, but even after Luojia Zhenren transmitted messages dozens of times to this Old Demon Ji, she didn’t receive a response.

As a result, even Luojia Zhenren couldn’t distinguish the real from the fake.

"Not a bad idea." Xun Tianji stroked the sparse stubble on his chin, "It’s a good idea, but unfortunately... I can’t bear to part with so many treasures for your benefit."

"Heh."

Nightmare True Monarch let out a laugh.

"Brother Ji, any brilliant insights?"

Among the cultivators present, the only one Xun Tianji looked up to was this later-arrival Old Demon Ji, so he was quite patient with him...

"Why make it so complicated? I’ll count to three, and if everyone can kill me, the Miracle Treasure naturally belongs to you. But if you can’t kill me, the treasure is mine!"

Nightmare True Monarch taunted.

Xun Tianji’s eyes instantly widened, "Even more arrogant than me?!"

"Three."

Nightmare True Monarch ignored him and started counting down directly.

"Two."

"One!"

"..."

When he finished counting and no one moved, he then charged towards Qingyue Building again, only this time, he deliberately slowed down a bit. Seeing this, the others immediately rushed forward, afraid he would snatch it away.

And in that very moment.

Nightmare True Monarch formed a hand seal and spat out a word.

"Dream!"

In an instant, an extremely strong Divine Soul Power swept over the vicinity of Qingyue Building.

Including Xun Tianji, everyone fell to the ground and fell asleep after hearing Nightmare True Monarch’s words.

Upon seeing this, Nightmare True Monarch entered Qingyue Building and, in the blink of an eye, came back out. During his brief in and out, the treasure light inside Qingyue Building disappeared.

After emerging, he transmitted a message to Ji Yuan in the distance: "This place is no longer safe, leave quickly!"

Having said so, he was the first to take a step, and in a flicker of his figure, he was already dozens of miles away.

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but use his Divine Sense to glance one last time at those sleeping Peak Core Formation Cultivators... If this were true, he could guess who Qiu Qianhai’s master really was!

Because the cultivation technique this person just used, Ji Yuan had seen before.

In the Scripture Pavilion of Bone Nightmare Sect, it was called the "Great Dream Demon Scripture"!

Thinking of the past of Bone Nightmare Sect, it wasn’t hard to guess the identity of the person in front of him either.

The Nightmare True Monarch who should have drowned in the long river of time!

... Damn, if I guessed right, that would really be interesting.

What’s he here for this time?

It must be for revenge!

To seek revenge on Bone Nightmare Old Demon, to avenge Fire Spirit Ghost Mother. If this is true, well, cooperation isn’t out of the question.

And he took Qiu Qianhai as his disciple, which means Bone Nightmare Old Demon is his senior brother, I also apprenticed under Fire Spirit Ghost Mother... although this disciple’s heart is not sincere, and the master’s heart is not kind.

But indeed, it’s a master-disciple relationship.

So now what’s my relationship with Qiu Qianhai?

It should be considered as senior and junior brothers too, after all, Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s original partner was Nightmare True Monarch.

Many thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind in an instant, and he transmitted a message to Mu Xueyao, "I’m going to follow and have a look, if you’re fine, just hide in this room, wait until Xun Tianji and the others wake up... I reckon the first layer trial of this Inner Realm will then begin."

"Alright!"

As Mu Xueyao’s voice echoed, Ji Yuan softly called:

"Chase the Lightning."

"..."

And just as he left, around Qingyue Building, Xun Tianji groggily opened his eyes.

After a while, in a small one-story house in the east of the city.
