Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Losing One’s Surname is Common

Considering Ji Zhi’s busy schedule, it would be inhumane to have him both heal and review reports concurrently, so Jiang Li decided to temporarily note it down and settle the accounts in the future.

Jiang Li briefly explained the situation to Ji Kongkong and upon learning she could help, she happily agreed.

“How far back can you trace time?”

“Hehe, twelve hours!” Ji Kongkong proudly asserted. Her father had told her that among the documented abilities in the Ji family, her talent was unequivocally first-rate.

She, a mere Qi Cultivation third stage, could touch “the Dao” and wield it freely – it was simply unimaginable!

“Hmm, very good.” Jiang Li gave a bland comment. This made Ji Kongkong flutter with joy on the inside, not realizing that Jiang Li was actually lamenting how someone else’s child at Qi Cultivation’s third stage could trace back twelve hours, yet he couldn’t trace back even a second despite being in the Mahayana Realm.

Jiang Li flew with Ji Kongkong towards Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty; Ji Kongkong’s little legs restlessly wiggling around.

“Have you ever seen a dead person?”

Jiang Li suddenly remembered that she was merely a seven or eight-year-old and wondered if it was too cruel to have her witness past murder scenes. He wouldn’t want her to be scarred mentally.

Ji Kongkong faltered for a moment; her mood somewhat downcast, “I have. One of my sisters was jealous of my abilities and wanted to kill me. Mother protected me… I want to work hard to comprehend the Dao of Time, so I can revisit mother… ”

Jiang Li did not ask about the process or the result. He just tenderly touched Ji Kongkong’s small head out of pity.

Jiang Li arrived at Tianyuan Emperor City, didn’t go directly to the general’s mansion but took Ji Kongkong around for fun; visited a teahouse for tea and cakes, listened to an inaccurate storytelling of “The Human Emperor”, let her play with her gourd… Ji Kongkong was laughing all the way.

Seeing Ji Kongkong’s better mood, Jiang Li still asked worriedly, “If there is any problem, you don’t have to force yourself, I have other ways.”

Of course, what he meant was to find other people from Zhou’s family but he could not directly say this to Ji Kongkong-

Now he kind of regretted bringing Ji Kongkong here. Looking back, it seemed like Ji Zhi, wanting to temper his child’s mentality, somehow manipulated Jiang Li into helping with it under the pretext of Ji Kongkong assisting him.

Seems like Ji Zhi was not drained from the government affairs, surprisingly finding the time to scheme against him.

“No problem.” Ji Kongkong waved her little fists. She arrived at the general’s mansion, disappeared in front of Jiang Li, then reappeared panting.

“The murderer suddenly appeared behind the general. The general couldn’t react in time and was directly killed. I couldn’t see the murderer’s face clearly.

All I know is that he went this way and disappeared into the secret realm.”

Based on what she saw, Ji Kongkong pointed Jiang Li to a place deep in the mountains outside the city. This place, despite being mid-mountain, was wrapped in mist. With naked eye, it was almost impossible to see anything beyond twenty meters, perfect for hiding something.

Jiang Li saw a Nascent Soul Cultivator leading a Golden Core Cultivator towards the entrance of the secret realm in the mist.

“Check if the murderer had come out of the secret realm.” Jiang Li asked Ji Kongkong to trace back time.

Ji Kongkong quickly provided the answer, “In these hours, only people went in, none came out.”

With the murderer’s questionable origins and the God-hidden Cult’s secrecy, Jiang Li didn’t want to accidentally alert the murderer and lose this lead.

“May I know if you two are entering your organization from here?” Jiang Li, holding onto Ji Kongkong, politely asked the two cultivators.

The Golden Core Cultivator showed caution. The Nascent Soul Cultivator signaled him not to worry. Recognizing that Jiang Li, too, was a Nascent Soul stage, he courteously replied, “Fellow Daoist, there must be some confusion. Given the chaos in the imperial city, we two brothers just want to stay away from the city and avoid risks. What organization?”

“Fellow Daoist, why don’t you first take a look at this?” A golden radiance came out from Jiang Li’s fingertip; it was peaceful, dreamy, and brought tranquility.

This was the power of merit he separated from the old man.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator’s face changed drastically; he quickly covered Jiang Li’s hand, said a mantra to open the secret realm, and pulled Jiang Li, Ji Kongkong, and the Golden Core Cultivator into the secret realm.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re careless! How can the God-hidden Power be shown off so casually!”

In the secret realm, the Nascent Soul Cultivator reproached Jiang Li. Since Jiang Li could have God-hidden Power, it indicated that he knew some situations in the cult. Regardless of friend or foe, a test by the cult’s high-level figures would clarify everything.

He was very confident in the cult’s methods. Under the gaze of the Respected God-hidden’s statue, he wasn’t worried about what Jiang Li could stir up.

“In the urgent situation at that time, my family’s ancestor gave me hurried instructions, which didn’t give me a clear understanding. I hope fellow Daoist can forgive.” Jiang Li explained.

“My sister and I are descendants of Dragon family of Longyin City. I am Dragon Li, and this is my sister Dragon Kong Kong.” Jiang Li’s tone showed anger, “I don’t know where that damned city lord got his information from, knowing that the ancestor was healing Dragon San Shui and couldn’t be disturbed during this period. He seized the opportunity to covertly injure the ancestor. The ancestor had no alternative but to fight with his injuries, and finally lost the game by a narrow margin.”

“My sister and I are the last descendants of the Dragon family. Before his death, our ancestor told us to go to the highest mountain near the Emperor Dynasty. On the mountainside, there is a place with mist all around. If we could find human traces on the south side of the mountain, it would be the people of the cult.”

“The ancestor also gave me this golden light and said as long as I show it to the members of the organization, they would understand everything.” Jiang Li’s words mixed nine parts lie with one part truth, making the Nascent Soul Cultivator doubtful.

He had only heard that the head of Longyin City was killed, and he knew the head did not join their cult. However, their cult’s Priest Li had been in contact and often sent human embryos to Priest Li. Could it be that Priest Li revealed the cult’s location to the old Dragon head?

Unfortunately, Priest Li had gone out and didn’t know when he would return.

Ji Kongkong blinked, not saying anything. She remembered the stories her father told her, saying that going out with Jiang Li might result in her losing her last name. She didn’t need to worry, it was a common occurrence.

“May I ask what this power is? Why can’t I absorb it?” Jiang Li inquired, but the Nascent Soul Cultivator didn’t answer him.

“Since you’ve arrived at this secret realm, you can only join our cult. It happens to make up for ten people, and we can conduct the initiation ceremony. I can preside over it later. You can call me True Person Feng.”

“My name is Cheng ZiQi.” The Golden Core Cultivator introduced himself, although no one really cared about his name.

Jiang Li scanned the whole secret realm with his Divine Sense, and found that the highest stage here was only the Divinity Transformation stage. The murderer definitely wasn’t among these people.

How could a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation stage possibly kill a Body Integration Realm who had experienced battle all year round?

But there was only one exit In the secret ream, where could the murderer go.’

Jiang Li was confident that no one could disguise themselves under his Divine Sense unless they were an Immortal.

Since he couldn’t find the murderer, he would first see what this initiation ceremony was. Jiang Li gave Ji Kongkong the gourd, asking it to be smart and protect her..
