I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 124 - 77: Decades Later at Black Mountain: Reaping What You Sow and Ji Han’s Shock! (Part 2)

Did I release a demon?

But how is that possible?

Jixia frowned deeply, contemplating his experiences based on 'Chen Zhenwu's' words bit by bit.

After thinking for a long time,

he still couldn't figure out what on earth kind of 'Demon Monarch' he could have released!

"What is the title of that Demon Monarch?"

Jixia listened quietly, suddenly asking.

"How would I know such things? The Demon Ancestral Court is far away, and the Government Office never really spreads information about them. Only the upper echelons are in the know, and if these Demon Monarchs come knocking, we might hear their honored names."

Chen Zhenwu shrugged his shoulders.

Instantly, Jixia looked at Chen Zhenwu and felt quite speechless, sensing some clues.

"This guy, could he be fooling me..."

With the vision from past experiences.

Chen Zhenwu purposely lowered his stature, presenting himself as an equal to Jixia, but in Jixia's eyes, that 'unfathomable' filter had already faded away.

Without exaggeration,

Jixia, in his past as Song Chai Xin, could easily smack dead several individuals like Chen Zhenwu, who wield Great Innate powers.

Moreover, having already demonstrated his 'value', being on equal terms with one of Great Innate Level, even if the latter was formerly a subordinate and now called 'brother', was considered generous.

"Chen Zhenwu, being the Ninth-Grade Department Head, might appear to others as having a significant position, but according to what he said, everything related to Song Chai Xin was wiped clean, forbidden to be mentioned to outsiders; under such conditions, his stature..."

"How could he not know anything about me? It's quite strange."

"But even if he doesn't know, it's no big deal."

"Just knowing all this is already sufficient."

"As for other matters..."

"Black Mountain, Wutong, where I've left too many traces; it will eventually be all investigated clearly, no need to rush at the moment."

As Jixia was pondering over all this,

Chen Zhenwu suddenly changed the subject and said:

"In my opinion, all these historical ties from decades ago don't really concern us, but you, young man..."

"You have martial arts from a prestigious family installed, gained favor from Xie Wutong, and possess talent; is there a great figure guiding you behind the scenes?"

Jixia shook his head, saying:

"I only stumbled upon a Boxing Manual by chance and practiced by myself for several years, not having undergone systematic mentorship."

Chen Zhenwu looked deeply at the young man before him: "Is that so."

Song Chai Xin.

This name held secrets he knew but couldn't be completely unveiled with just a few words.

Yet,

he also knew,

outside Black Mountain, in that mouth of Celestial Abyss, there lay buried that person, as a 'grave', seemingly carrying many secrets, attracting the covetousness of many great figures, not even sparing a corpse.

Previously, Chen Zhenwu thought this young man was odd, but Black Mountain Government Office being under his jurisdiction, giving face to Xie Wutong was understandable.

But now...

He increasingly felt like there was a 'mystery' behind this young man, elusive as mist, never clearly visible.

Yet,

"A spirit body, huh..."

Chen Zhenwu thought deeply, feeling a bit envious.

If a person of such caliber could be tied to the same boat.

Then,

The future would indeed hold promise!

Consequently, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Jixia,"

"Have you ever thought about serving in the 'Guardian Mansion'?"

Thinking of that family pillar, who now had one foot in the 'coffin', Lord Guardian Chen Zhao, and his legitimate granddaughter.

Chen Zhenwu harbored some thoughts.

But Jixia had no idea what Chen Zhenwu was pondering.

Serving in the Guardian Mansion would allow entry into the 'Inner City', meeting Chen Zhao, wouldn't it?

Upon thinking of this, Jixia felt a bit more spirited.

Concerning himself,

he naturally wished to learn the secrets within.

At the same time,

he was curious to see the 'Chen Zhao' of this era, and the difference from when they first met, showing a very depressed image.

Thus, immediately,

he agreed.

"Alright, but this matter requires a few days. In the meantime, continue practicing; I'll let you know when I have news."

Chen Zhenwu smiled, consenting without hesitation.

...

That day, under the night sky.

Jixia, wearing black clothes, with a straight posture, dropped the constable uniform, secretly carrying a map, ventured into Black Mountain.

This vast range of mountains, laden with enchantments, filled with sprites, dense with beasts, featuring steep and rugged paths, containing various bizarre and dangerous obstacles...

both his lifetimes had an intense unsolvable bond with it.

Once, as Song Chai Xin, he cleared out the demons and monsters here.

Only then could he live as a 'hunter', relying on this mountain, before his innate wisdom awakened, to make a living and practice hunting skills.

Now in hindsight,

indeed, all water finds its course, borrowed from fate!

...

In the forest, relying on agile movement, Jixia darted back and forth, visiting various dangerous places.

Some places yielded nothing,

others were rewarding.

Under a gently flowing stream.

A fruit resembling a coiled snake, with wing-like patterns;

A flower pitch-black as ink, yet adorned with sparkling petals;

And also a piece of wood, vibrant green, arm-length small, whose 'wood core' seemed like bean curd, being edible.

These were the herbs Jixia acquired on this trip.

Additionally, he hunted two formidable sprites, both possessing the 'Water and Fire Immortal Robe' and even Circulation Qi Collection skills!

Yet, still not Jixia's match.

He obtained Snake Broth from one Crowned Snake King.
