Chapter 161
Lying on the ground, Anthony was utterly stunned by what he saw.
Although all the spirit tablets had shattered, they did not actually cause any real harm to Anthony and the others.
At its core, everything before them was like watching a slideshow, visible but untouchable.
As for why Pei Chiyao could touch them... Anthony was unsure.
But at this moment, this was not the reason for Anthony's shock and astonishment.
He was truly shocked because... that person, he... he looked exactly the same as Pei Chiyao!
Of course, Anthony knew who that person was. As soon as he first came to Xuanling Town, Anthony had read about the family history.
The reason for the downfall of the Ji Family, a renowned demon-hunting household for a century, was all thanks to Ji Qingpei.
Ji Qingpei could be considered a Heaven-sent prodigy for the Ji Family over so many years. The Demon-Capturing Artifacts he forged were all top-notch weapons, and his spiritual power was extremely profound, with a faint aura of ascending to immortality – an unprecedented figure in the Ji Family.
But for some unknown reason... he fell in love with a demon.
The rumor was that she was a Fox Spirit.
No one had ever seen that Fox Spirit, only knowing that she was extremely beautiful, with an exquisite figure. It was said that any man who saw her for the first time would be deeply entranced by her appearance and figure, and from then on... he would be unable to break free, until offering his life for her.
Obviously, Ji Qingpei had made this rumor a reality.
For that Fox Spirit, he abandoned his family, forsook all his wealth and glory, and even his reputation, willing to be scorned by all under Heaven.
Zhi Yao stared blankly at Ji Qingpei, not knowing why, but she felt a strange familiarity...
Was it because this person looked very similar to Pei Chiyao?
Zhi Yao was unsure, but Anthony saw it clearly.
Moreover, in his heart, there was a vague but terrible similarity. How could there possibly be two people who looked exactly the same in this vast world? The odds were so small, almost impossible!
Add to that Pei Chiyao's familiarity when entering this place earlier, and his ability to avoid being attracted into Xuanling Town.
This really shocked Anthony greatly.
Could it be... that Ji Qingpei was Pei Chiyao's past life?!
This... this would mean that Pei Chiyao was his ancestor?!
Anthony could not accept this fact.
He stood there in a daze, while the scene before him had progressed to the next part of the story.
These events were only recorded in the Ji Family's history, and this was the first time they were happening before their eyes.
Originally, only the Ji Family knew about Ji Qingpei falling in love with a demon, and to avoid disgracing the family, they only told outsiders that Ji Qingpei had passed away. But behind the scenes, they secretly sent people to hunt them down, hoping to kill that vixen spirit and bring Ji Qingpei back, even considering an extremely sinister plan to erase Ji Qingpei's memories and turn him into a puppet.
To the outside world, everyone lamented the loss of such a Heaven-sent talent as Ji Qingpei, but only the Ji Family knew that they desperately needed someone like Ji Qingpei to bring them glory and honor. If Ji Qingpei became a puppet, that would be a great blessing for the Ji Family!
Until this day, Ji Qingpei suddenly appeared out of nowhere, revealing this ugly incident to the world.
A renowned demon-hunter falling in love with a demon? This was truly ridiculous and unthinkable!
Just as Ji Qingpei destroyed the Ji Family's ancestral shrine, shattering all the spirit tablets of his forefathers, the Ji Family members hurriedly rushed over to kill Ji Qingpei. No matter how strong Ji Qingpei's spiritual power was, facing so many people made him helpless.
Until...
A flash of white light appeared, and suddenly, something shot out from Ji Qingpei's spirit tablet and flew into his palm.
No one could see what Ji Qingpei held in his hand, but at that moment, everyone could feel his spiritual power increasing drastically, nearly ten times stronger!
A fierce wind suddenly whipped up in the shrine, billowing his clothes and long black hair, the murderous intent in his eyes mingling with his striking features in an eerie alluring way, stunningly beautiful enough to take one's breath away.
A physical form of such ethereal beauty that it transcended gender – that was true perfection.
He curved his lips in a strange, light laugh, "Why can't a human be with a demon? Why, even after I've abandoned everything, given up being a demon-hunter, do you still refuse to leave me be? Just because I'm from the Ji Family? Just because... I'm human?"
His disheveled long hair obscured Ji Qingpei's expression, and no one could see his face.
Only a faint scent of blood wafted past their noses, and when he looked up again, his lips were stained with fresh blood, yet adding to an alluring, demonic beauty.
"Ji Qingpei! What do you want?" shouted one of the Ji Family members. "Demons are the lowliest, most despicable beings in this world. They don't deserve to exist. Why must you defy reason and be with a lowly vixen? What's so good about her? Wake up, you must be under her bewitching spell..."
Before he could finish, a fierce palm strike suddenly struck him in the face with a boom, instantly knocking him flying high into the air before crashing down. As he fell, his head struck a sharp rock, instantly cracking open as he died on the spot.
This scene silenced the Ji Family members, as if killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, no one dared speak again.
Ji Qingpei withdrew the mocking smile from his lips, completely disappearing without a trace.
"I won't allow anyone to insult her! Whoever dares to be disrespectful or foolish, come at me!"
As the words fell, the Ji Family members fell silent for a moment, then suddenly someone stood up and loudly berated Ji Qingpei: "Ji Qingpei! You madman! He is your uncle! Have you gone insane? You've actually been bewitched by a lowly Fox Spirit to the point of losing all reason!"
"Heh." A faint smile escaped Ji Qingpei's lips, but there was no trace of mirth on his face.
"Good, another one who doesn't value their life."
