Mingyue was so excited because the palace was resplendent.
All the furnishings were made of purple gold, including the walls.
Not only that, but the hall was hung with pearls, the smallest of which were the size of a person's head.
This made the greedy Mingyue extremely excited, forgetting the danger.
She even turned a deaf ear to Ji Shiyou's reminder.
There is a saying, "Extreme joy begets sorrow."
It was best exemplified by Mingyue.
Just as she grabbed a pearl, intending to put it into her storage bag.
A black light appeared, bound her, and dragged her towards the rear hall.
"Pick up my storage bag."
Ji Shiyou was about to chase after her when he heard Mingyue, who was bound.
As her body was dragged towards the rear hall, she shouted at him.
"Still obsessed with money!"
Ji Shiyou thought to himself, and reluctantly stopped.
He picked up the storage bag that had fallen on the ground and put the pearl back into it.
In a life-or-death situation, when encountering danger.
Still thinking about external possessions, perhaps only a peculiar person like Mingyue would do such a thing.
When Ji Shiyou reached the rear hall, he saw a young-looking man sitting on a huge purple-gold chair.
And the bound Mingyue was floating in the air, struggling hard.
Seeing that she was not injured, he was relieved.
In fact, Mingyue was protected by the Moonlight Pendant, so even if she was bound, her life was not in danger.
That's why he stopped to pick up the storage bag, but he was truly relieved after confirming it.
"You are the Great Immortal Bibo, release her!"
Ji Shiyou turned to the man, his face full of vigilance.
The man was dressed in white and had a handsome face.
He looked about the same age as himself, but he knew.
This was just an illusion; this was a demon who had cultivated for tens of millions of years.
"You care about her so much? You are a demon, and she is human.
Humans and demons have different paths, why are you two together?"
The man smiled, his voice gentle and moving.
Completely different from the voice he heard outside the hall earlier.
"Whether human or demon.
Both are beings in this world, what's the difference?
Whether demon or human, both can ascend.
This proves that the Heavenly Dao treats both humans and demons equally.
Why, in your case.
There must be distinctions and racial boundaries.
Seeing that you have cultivated for a long time, you should not be young.
How can you be so ignorant as to ask such a question?
You are simply an idiot."
The man's words left Ji Shiyou speechless.
He didn't want anyone to know that he and Mingyue were together because their bodies had been swapped.
He remained silent, but Mingyue in the air answered.
And it seemed to make a lot of sense, leaving the man on the purple-gold chair speechless.
"Sharp-tongued girl, but you are right.
I agree with your point of view, humans and demons, both are beings in this world.
Not only can they interact, but they can also fall in love.
However, you destroyed the vengeful spirits I prepared for Qing Jia.
She cannot come back. I waited for a hundred years, and prepared for a hundred years.
It was all ruined by you. Qing Jia, I miss you."
As the man spoke, he began to cry loudly.
Mingyue was stunned, this person, no, this demon.
What was wrong with him, so moody?
She looked at Ji Shiyou, who also looked at her blankly.
Neither of them knew what was going on.
Also, who was Qing Jia that the man mentioned?
It seemed that this mentally split Great Immortal Bibo had spent a hundred years.
Killing so many people and refining so many vengeful spirits, all for that person named Qing Jia.
As Ji Shiyou thought, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Had he stayed with Mingyue for too long, and his brain had gone bad?
What was he doing here? He was here to eliminate the harm to the nearby villagers.
He was here to eliminate demons and protect the righteous, to kill people.
Great Immortal Bibo was crying wholeheartedly, completely unguarded.
Why wasn't he acting, but lost in thought?
Even if he didn't act, he should at least break Mingyue's restraint and rescue her?
When did he become so indecisive?
Ji Shiyou suddenly woke up, and his peripheral vision glanced at the crying man.
Seeing that he was still crying wholeheartedly and didn't notice him and Mingyue at all.
He secretly formed a hand seal and struck at the black light on Mingyue.
Then, then he was stunned.
Because he had struck at nothing.
The spell was cast, but there was no fluctuation of magic power.
"No magic power, is there? I forgot to tell you.
As long as you enter my Purple Gold Palace, all magic power will disappear.
Whether human or demon, cultivation will be suppressed.
You destroyed my vengeful spirits, and you must compensate me.
I wonder if refining a demon body into a vengeful demon would be more effective?"
The man suddenly stopped crying and said fiercely to Ji Shiyou.
Now, his eyes were sinister, and his aura was imposing.
If it weren't for the tear stains on his face, no one would have believed.
He had been crying like a rain-soaked person just a moment ago, so sad and helpless.
Hearing his words, Ji Shiyou finally understood that the palace had a secret.
He lunged forward and ran towards the outside of the palace.
Inside the palace, his cultivation was suppressed, and he had to find a way to get out first.
It wasn't that he was unrighteous and abandoned Mingyue.
But he, alone, could run faster.
Only by getting out and recovering his cultivation could he find a way to rescue Mingyue.
Otherwise, both of them would die here.
However, when he reached the door, it was tightly shut.
Even with all his might, he couldn't push the door open.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't open this door.
Do you know what kind of demon I am?
To tell you the truth, my original form is a purple-gold clam.
I cultivated for a thousand years to transform, and this Purple Gold Palace is formed from the shell of my original body.
As long as I don't agree, even the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning cannot blast open this Purple Gold Palace."
The voice of Great Immortal Bibo, also known as the clam demon, echoed throughout the Purple Gold Palace.
While mocking Ji Shiyou's futile efforts, he revealed his identity.
Ji Shiyou remained unmoved and still tried to push the door.
Just then, as before, a black light flew out from the rear hall.
It bound Ji Shiyou's body and dragged him back to the rear hall.
Seeing that Ji Shiyou had failed to escape, Mingyue looked disappointed.
"That, Senior Clam Demon, no, Great Immortal Bibo.
Let's discuss something, shall we? Look.
She was the one who destroyed your vengeful spirits, and she was the one who came to cause trouble.
I was framed and pushed down.
A passerby who accidentally entered here. I have a suggestion.
You kill her and let me go, okay?"
Mingyue said her idea to the clam demon with a fawning expression.
"No, since you've come, you're not leaving.
Although your soul is very weak, this body.
It's a rare treasure, with vigorous essence and blood.
And it's from a righteous immortal sect, with extraordinary talent.
It's the best nourishment for vengeful spirits, and it's just right to keep it.
When I kill her and refine her into a vengeful spirit.
I'll let her devour it to advance and improve her cultivation."
The clam demon flatly refused Mingyue's disloyal suggestion.
Mingyue pouted, thinking to herself, you really don't waste anything.
At the same time, she blamed Ji Shiyou for training his body so well for no reason.
If this body were bad, with all sorts of injuries.
With depleted essence and blood, perhaps this clam demon would let her go.
As the clam demon's voice fell, he opened his mouth wide.
Then, rolling black light shot out from within, enveloping the two of them.
"You are so disloyal, abandoning me to die.
Wanting to escape alone, I will kill you!"
Wrapped in the black light, the restraints on their bodies disappeared.
Ji Shiyou was furious and struck at Mingyue's head with a palm.
