Mo Jinyu

Chapter 1045: Going Back on Your Word!


"Elder Ji, I think I know the identity of the real culprit!"


At this moment, someone gathered the courage to raise his head and speak to the gaunt elderly man. Orıginal content can be found at novelꞁ


"Hmm? Speak!"


Upon hearing this, the eyes of the gaunt elderly man sharpened. Despite his age, his eyes were not foggy but extremely piercing, as sharp as two drawn swords.


The speaker felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, and blood mixed with tears flowed continuously from his eyes.


Enduring the intense pain, he avoided eye contact, not daring to look directly, and spoke with difficulty: "Someone who could eliminate Ji Bufan with two moves at the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, I estimate besides Mu Jinyu, the current leader of the Hidden Dragon List, there shouldn't be anyone else."


After he spoke, someone echoed: "Right, whether it's the terrifying combat power of crossing realms to kill, the cultivation at the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, or the two women accompanying him, they all match Mu Jinyu's characteristics perfectly!"


"Mu Jinyu? Leader of the Hidden Dragon List!"


Upon hearing their words, the gaunt elderly man restrained his fierce gaze slightly, seemingly a hint of apprehension flickering by.


Then he snorted coldly, speaking with unabated fierceness: "I don't care if he's the leader of the Hidden Dragon List. So what if he is? Daring to kill my brother, as long as he hasn't crossed into the Unity Realm, I want his Nine Tribes' relatives buried with him in the Underworld as my brother's servants!"


Zhuo Yue, who was grabbed by the throat and lifted, heard their conversation and thought to himself, 'Elder Ji, Ji Bufan... so he is... Ji Ran?!'


Zhuo Yue guessed the identity of the elderly man, his heart suddenly terrified!


In the Kunlun Ruins, the Unity Realm is the ultimate realm in cultivation, so Unity Realm experts are highly regarded.


Although there aren't only a dozen or so Unity Realm experts, each one is thoroughly remembered by all.


To avoid accidentally offending them and being left without a place to rest in peace.


Yet this gaunt elderly man before them, named Ji Ran, isn't truly a Unity Realm expert!


However, though not a Unity Realm expert, he's not like Ji Bufan in the Half-Step Unity Realm; he can be termed a False Merged Path Realm!


Or say, a Pseudo-Dan expert!


The Unity Realm not only requires a cultivator to unify Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but also to merge Domain, Intent Domain, Divine Skills, Soul, and True Yuan into one, refining a Flawless Golden Elixir!


When the Golden Core forms, the cultivator would grasp a trace of the Power of Laws, teleportation, turning stone into gold, flowers blooming from withered trees, water and fire coexisting... all these incredible immortal methods would be possessed by a Unity Realm expert!


Cultivators below the Unity Realm, when meeting a Unity Realm expert, regardless of how fully they extend their domain and struggle desperately, they would inevitably die when faced with a Golden Core move!


Once, Ji Ran was one of the Flood Dragon-level Heaven's Pride in the top ten of a Hidden Dragon Conference.


He was invited to join the Heavenly Palace, with many expecting him to surely pass the Heavenly Tribulation and refine a Flawless Golden Elixir, becoming a Unity Realm expert!


But unfortunately, he ultimately failed.


He didn't condense a Flawless Golden Elixir!


However, he belongs among the very few who survived the Heavenly Tribulation's bombardment.


Thus, he forcibly condensed a broken Golden Core, becoming a False Merged Path Realm expert.


Possessing a trace of Law power, even seasoned Ninth Layer Fanxu Realm experts facing him are no match; they are crushed into pulp instantly!


After Ji Ran failed to achieve Unity, he wholeheartedly dedicated himself to nurturing his brother, aiming to support him as a true Unity Realm expert!


Yet now, Ji Bufan died at the hands of Mu Jinyu.


No wonder Ji Ran would go insane!


Zhuo Yue didn't expect the valiant man at the Ninth Layer Hedao Realm, easily obliterated by Mu Jinyu in two strikes yesterday, to be Ji Bufan, and felt an endless despair surge in his heart.


Provoking this crazy old man would certainly lead to no good outcome.


The brother he painstakingly raised had died just like that, how could he possibly let Mu Jinyu go, even though he's also a member of Heavenly Palace and the leader of this Hidden Dragon Conference?


Sure enough, after learning Mu Jinyu's identity, Ji Ran didn't immediately execute Zhuo Yue, but instead took out a token engraved with the Heavenly Palace insignia!


He then injected his Spiritual Thought into it, seemingly initiating a conversation with someone!


Soon, he learned Mu Jinyu's current whereabouts from the mouth of an old friend.


The Heavenly Palace Token can be used for communication, issuing tasks, and also determining one's current position.


Ji Ran spoke to that old friend about knowing Mu Jinyu was in the Chu Kingdom, intending to visit and ask for help, but didn't know where he was and asked for his location.


His old friend, a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Palace today, without much thought, disclosed Mu Jinyu's location to Ji Ran.


"Heh heh heh... found you, daring to run near the Cursed Soul Forest; let me send you in to play!"


Ji Ran interrupted the conversation with his old friend, suddenly opened his eyes, and venomously laughed coldly, his eyes glinting with maliciousness.


Upon hearing this, everyone Zhuo Yue brought along shuddered with endless fear and dread in their hearts.


Then Ji Ran prepared to slap Zhuo Yue dead and immediately set off to find Mu Jinyu to send him on his way!


Yet when his dry hand was just raised, his gaze met Zhuo Yue's defiant eyes, and he hesitated.


"Humph, sending you on your way so easily would be too cheap; since you're close to Mu Jinyu, I'll have you suffer endless torment before dying right in front of him!"


Ji Ran sneered.


"Elder Ji, since we've found him, can we... can we leave now?"


At this moment, those people fearfully asked.


Actually, they didn't want to bring Ji Ran over to bother Mu Jinyu.


After all, they had long guessed Mu Jinyu's identity should be the Hidden Dragon Leader, who would want to offend him.


Yet Ji Ran was too ruthless, upon arriving at the Secret Realm entrance, found Ji Bufan cruelly dead, and summoned them to inquire about the truth.


Some later arrivals didn't know how Ji Bufan died and were instantly slapped to death by him!


Thus, compared to offending Mu Jinyu and dying on the spot at Ji Ran's hands, they naturally chose the former and brought Ji Ran to Zhuo Yue.


Ji Ran had promised them before, that finding the real culprit would spare their lives!


"Humph!"


Upon hearing their cautious words, Ji Ran snorted coldly, a cruel and cunning smile appearing on his lips, disdainfully saying: "You want to live too? Just you watching my brother die at that boy's hands, and you are still alive when found by me; you should thank me for my great mercy; actually planning to live?"


"If I spared you, Little Fan, knowing this under the spring, would resent me, his brother!"


Ji Ran roared.


"No!!"


"Run!!"


The few hearing Ji Ran's hysterical words filled with madness and resentment, realized things were dire and immediately turned to flee!


But alas, as Ji Ran's broken pill lightly trembled!


"Puff!", "Puff!", "Puff!!"


They all burst forth like fireworks, brilliantly blooming in the air.
