Bone Nightmare... the Old Devil?!
Damn it, wasn't he the Bone Nightmare Sect's master, the legendary Nascent Soul Great Cultivator? He was also one of the most brilliant talents the Abyssal Continent had seen in years.
But why had he suddenly appeared here?
The world was vast.
Sure, this place lay within Bone Nightmare Sect territory, but the coincidence couldn't be that outrageous!
Could I have some other connection to the Bone Nightmare Sect?
Thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan's mind, but they didn't stop him from cupping his hands in salute. "This junior... Hu Beizhi, greets Senior Bone Nightmare."
He certainly couldn't use Ji Yuan anymore. Qiu Qianhai was out too, Li Chang'geng had been ruined, and Liu Changsheng had already shown his face.
After thinking it over, he could only switch to another real name.
Hu Beizhi was a name Ji Yuan had prepared long ago. His current appearance happened to resemble a frail scholar, too.
It suited the name perfectly.
"Hu Beizhi? Not a bad name. Like mine, it sounds as though you've read a few books."
Bone-Nightmare Old Devil smiled warmly, like a friendly elder brother from next door. Nothing about him looked like an Old Devil.
But from his reaction, Ji Yuan knew he couldn't see through the Form-Changing Talisman. That meant his cultivation fell short of Mei Zhuang's.
After all, Mei Zhuang had seen through the Form-Changing Talisman at first glance.
But Bone-Nightmare Old Devil couldn't... Good thing I was careful and changed my appearance beforehand. If he'd seen my real face, changing it later wouldn't help. What if he noticed I looked exactly like Old Devil Ji?
Or if he already knew what Old Devil Ji looked like, I might not even get a chance to speak.
Terrifying...
