Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 438: Chapter 218: No One Is a Fool

Who wouldn’t know.

This is information that should have been disclosed to me, but when he spoke, he changed his tone and demeanor, and his entire attitude shifted completely.

It was as if he only shared it because there was something special about our relationship.

This guy is a clever person.

Moreover, before leaving, he mentioned giving up his Cave Mansion for me, which clearly was a way to tell Jiang Hong and Celestial Silkworm Zhenren that my identity is not simple?

Does he want to harm me?

No, with his intellect, even if he wanted to harm me, he wouldn’t use such obvious methods... I can’t be completely certain, but perhaps he wants to use this clumsy method to make me betray myself in front of Celestial Silkworm Zhenren and the others.

’Looks like I need to find an opportunity to take him out.’

’I’ve met Qiu Qianhai twice already, and he’s still so smart. Keeping him around might be a hidden danger, I need to kill him to have peace of mind.’

Ji Yuan made up his mind with no room for mercy.

In the following days, Ji Yuan didn’t stay in the Cave Mansion but visited some of his other ”colleagues” to gauge the enemy’s situation.

Aside from Ji Yuan, there are nine people, including two in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, six in the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and the rest are at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, no sign of anyone at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

The two in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment were the ones Ji Yuan saw at the foot of the mountain earlier.

The woman is named Feng Xiuxiu, and the scar-faced man is called Zhong Daoke.

Initially, when I approached them with a righteous identity, it was exceedingly difficult to engage with them, and even having a normal conversation was challenging. But now, using my Demon Dao identity, it’s completely different.

Ji Yuan found that these Demon Cultivators are all talents.

They speak very eloquently.

And since they follow a big client, they don’t have to engage in much internal strife, unlike the previous sect Qiu Qianhai was with, Great Love Sect, where there was constant open and secret conflict, creating immense pressure.

In just a few days of mingling here, it became all ”Brother Qiu” this and ”Brother Qiu” that.

Especially after Ji Yuan offered them a few jars of Spirit Wine enhanced by the Wine Cellar, they were full of praise.

The seemingly rough-and-tumble, yet indeed rough Daoke Zhong even wanted to become sworn brothers with Qiu Qianhai.

But Ji Yuan thought he might not have a long life, so he declined.

During these days, Ji Yuan also subtly inquired about the Blood River from them.

The results were the same as what Hu Li had said; they searched the entire Ancient Battlefield but couldn’t find a trace of the Blood River. In the end, they still need to eliminate the Wei Family first.

Five days later.

As a new member of this group, Ji Yuan also needed to do his duty at the Wei Family’s side.

Being on duty, in fact, is just watching over this Array.

Allowing the Array to slowly grind down the Wei Family.

Since Ji Yuan was brought by Hu Li, he naturally moved together with him. There were four in total, including Ji Yuan, heading to the Wei Family for duty this time.

Feng Xiuxiu, at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, led the team, and the remaining one, at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, was named Shi Yuntao, everyone called him Taozi.

”Senior.”

During the westward journey, Hu Li’s voice sounded in Ji Yuan’s mind, ”The Array surrounding the Wei Family, called the Four Symbols Boiling Sea Formation, is a fire-based Tier Three Array brought by Celestial Silkworm Zhenren from Shangxi.”

”As for the Wei Family, although their ancestors never produced a Golden Core Zhenren, they somehow have a Tier Three Protective Array, and it’s even water-based.”

”If they had a Golden Core Zhenren stationed, breaking their Array might not be so easy for us.”

Ji Yuan felt a stir in his heart while listening to Hu Li’s introduction.

A Tier Three Protective Array, and it’s water-based, couldn’t it be something given by Li Changhe’s family?

It seems likely; if they didn’t offer something valuable, the Wei Family wouldn’t support them wholeheartedly.

”So, what’s the current situation?”

Ji Yuan transmitted his question.

”Currently, our Four Symbols Boiling Sea Formation is using fire to break their water-based Array. Firstly, they don’t have as many Spirit Stones as we do, and secondly, they don’t have a Golden Core Zhenren to oversee, so it’s only a matter of time before they’re breached.”

”Once their Array is broken, even if they have that Six-tailed demon fox, escape will be impossible.”

Hu Li gave Ji Yuan a detailed explanation.

”Indeed.”

”It’s almost done. If their Array hadn’t happened to be water-based, we would’ve breached it long ago.”

The two chatted idly, and after more than a day, Feng Xiuxiu at the front finally spoke up:

”We’re here.”

Ji Yuan looked up, and in front of them, another towering stone mountain appeared on the horizon.

It bore a striking resemblance to the stone mountain selected earlier by Jiang Hong and his group, and these two stone mountains were the only ones Ji Yuan had seen within this Ancient Battlefield.

He, seemingly looking for something to say, commented:

”The Wei Family’s place is surprisingly far from our base?”

Next to him, Hu Li played the role of a great sidekick, smiling and answering, ”It is indeed a bit far.”

”So why don’t we set our base near the Wei Family, that way we can monitor them day and night, and if there’s any change, we can detect it immediately.”

Ji Yuan voiced his inner question.

On the other side, Taozi chuckled and said, ”Who knows? Perhaps they are masters, so naturally they need to live high up.”

”Taozi, be cautious with your words.”

Feng Xiuxiu from the front turned back and said, and Taozi quickly shut his mouth.
