Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 728: Chapter 311: News of Du Wanyi Once Again

“…”

“Daoist Youlan, why are you still running? Now that the Water Dragon Sect is gone, without a sect, you are merely a Loose Cultivator. Why not join our Medicine King Valley and pursue the Dao with me?”

A long-faced man in a dark yellow magic robe was riding a gourd spiritual artifact, frantically chasing after a Female Cultivator in a blue-green magic robe.

Isle Master Youlan, controlling a flying sword in front, spat on the ground.

“I spit!”

“Even if I, Youlan, were to die, I would never become like the people of Medicine King Valley, bowing humbly to the Demon Dao, begging for mercy, running off to be someone else’s dog!”

The long-faced man, hearing this, became furious.

“Wretched woman, you better watch your mouth!”

“If not for your slight beauty, I would have killed you already. Now, I give you a chance to live, yet you don’t treasure it.”

“Moreover, the entire Water Dragon Sect fled as deserters even before us in Medicine King Valley. The whole world may have the right to mock Medicine King Valley, but not you from the Water Dragon Sect!”

After saying this, the long-faced man formed a sealing gesture with his hands, and spiritual patterns instantly appeared behind him, sending forth a series of Fireballs.

Isle Master Youlan, with limited talent, was only at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, while the man ahead had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment… Avoiding him became exceedingly difficult.

“Heh, they ran, but not me!”

Youlan, while fleeing, unleashed the Water Dragon Technique, a unique skill from the Water Dragon Sect.

The Fireballs struck, and the Sea Dragon Armor barely protected her, yet still knocked Isle Master Youlan from mid-air to the ground.

“Is it that you don’t want to run, or simply because you lack status and background, and thus weren’t chosen? If chosen, would you not flee? What a joke!”

The long-faced man pressed down the flying spiritual artifact, also landing in this dense forest.

He observed Youlan, slightly disarrayed, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

The world loves young girls, yet Cao Xiangyu prefers mature women.

Especially like Isle Master Youlan, who seems older but in reality still possesses quite a charm—a favored type for him, which is why he pursued her to this extent.

Previously, he had several opportunities to kill Isle Master Youlan.

Seeing the fear in her retreating steps as she faced him, Cao Xiangyu became even more pleased.

“How about it, Daoist Youlan? I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you agree to be my dao partner, I’ll spare you. When we return, we will both be Foundation Establishment Cultivators, admired as a divine couple by others.”

Isle Master Youlan scoffed.

“Have you ever heard of Liu Baicao?”

“How could I not know?”

Cao Xiangyu slightly frowned, “Isn’t he the notorious ugly cultivator of Medicine King Valley who, to cure his disfigured face, consumed a hundred herbs, worsening his appearance and thus renamed Liu Baicao?”

“Indeed.”

Isle Master Youlan nodded.

Cao Xiangyu thought Isle Master Youlan was stalling for time to heal, but it didn’t matter.

Even if she recovered, what then?

She couldn’t escape.

“Why does Daoist Youlan mention him? Could it be Liu Baicao is also pursuing you? If true, I’d have to commend Liu Baicao for his taste.”

“To think he’s interested in the same Female Cultivator as me.”

Cao Xiangyu said, raising a thumb.

“No.”

Isle Master Youlan shook her head, “I’d rather marry Liu Baicao than you.”

“What?!”

Cao Xiangyu almost thought he misheard, but when he understood, he became enraged.

“Considering your beauty, I wanted to give you a chance to live, but since you insist on seeking death… Do not blame me!”

Cao Xiangyu spoke while ascending from the ground, hair loose, sleeves fluttering, as waves of fire emerged around him, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.

Youlan was prepared; continuously sealing, incantations endlessly spoken.

Soon, dark clouds gathered overhead, pouring rain upon the forest.

Despite the heavy rain, it didn’t extinguish the fire but instead birthed thick smoke, shrouding all around, leaving Isle Master Youlan coughing incessantly.

Youlan considered fleeing but found no path out, faced with a sea of fire no matter the direction.

Essentially, there was no escape!

“Hahaha.”

Cao Xiangyu laughed maniacally upon witnessing this, “How do you find my technique to restrain your Water Dragon Sect’s Water Cultivators?”

“Die!”

From within the smoke, Isle Master Youlan’s shout echoed.

Following, a water-blue flying sword shot from the haze, surrounded by countless dense Water Arrows, aiming to pierce Cao Xiangyu entirely through.

“Tsk tsk.”

Cao Xiangyu sneered, snapping his fingers. Suddenly, a massive wave of fire erupted from the floating gourd above him.

The fire wave collided with the flying sword, swiftly forming a shield, blocking both the flying sword and the dense Water Arrows.

“How dull, well then, it’s better to kill you.”

Cao Xiangyu spoke, merging his index and middle fingers into a sword gesture, raising them lightly.

From the distant flames, an arc of light appeared, and after encircling, it pierced from behind Isle Master Youlan, moving astoundingly fast.

“Sss—”

Once Isle Master Youlan realized, the fiery light was barely a meter behind her.
