Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 528: Chapter 247: Tier 3 Demon Beast—Thunderstorm Serpent!

At this moment, Ji Yuan deeply felt what it meant to suffer an undeserved calamity.

He also experienced what it was like for trouble to come knocking even while sitting peacefully at home.

Sitting inside the cabin of Earth One, he thought he’d taken care of everything.

Even though there were hijackers, Ji Yuan was friends with them... He gave Ye Zhiqiu an empty storage bag, and she would take some items from the other storage bags to put in the empty one, which would make it easier for her to explain the situation.

When the Wailing Wanderer and the others gained their spoils, Luo Sifu would send everyone back across the Storm Area.

As long as they got past the Storm Area, it didn’t matter if they did not take him to Ice and Fire Island.

But now?

A damn bastard showed up halfway!

You say you have a master to protect you, then you could have just run away, but why destroy the ship?

Don’t you know there are dozens, even hundreds of lives on this ship!

You’re just a reckless fool in the Cultivation Realm.

A big fool!

At that moment, even Ji Yuan, who was usually easygoing, wished he could skin that guy alive, not to mention everyone else.

In the blink of an eye.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the severed Luo Sifu beside her and felt cold sweat trickle down her back.

She was incredibly close to death; if the sword light had deviated even slightly, or its attack range had been slightly larger, she would have been done for.

But now... with her senses returning to her.

”Black Mist Disperse”.

By the time her form reassembled, she was already back beside the Wailing Wanderer on the fourth floor.

The Wailing Wanderer’s expression was just as grim, clearly not expecting such an incident from merely robbing a ship.

”That one is a disciple of the Sheathless Sword,” she quickly informed as she appeared.

The Wailing Wanderer grunted and looked up at the top of the cabin.

A long line there was already leaking seawater, creating a curtain of rain inside the cabin.

”Senior, could you return our flying boat to us?”

”This large ship is doomed, and without the flying boat, we’ll die in the Storm Area.”

The cultivators on the same floor as Ji Yuan shouted loudly.

”Exactly, Senior, you can take everything else, but could you return the Dharma Ship to us?”

”Senior, always leave a path for others, so you can meet again later!”

”...”

Many cultivators echoed those sentiments.

The already irritable Wailing Wanderer finally opened his mouth to mock, ”I’m here to rob, who’s going to leave you a path?”

”One more word, and I’ll kill you right now!”

With this Fake Pill Cultivator’s threat, along with the Yin Energy radiating from him, the other cultivators dared not speak further.

Demon Cultivator.

He really was a Demon Cultivator.

Having already seen through everything, Ji Yuan stood up from the mat, knowing the Wailing Wanderer was waiting.

Even though the Whale Patrol Boat had been split in two and Captain Luo Sifu had been severed, inertia still propelled the Whale Patrol Boat forward.

The Wailing Wanderer only waited for the boat to utterly collapse and seawater to pour in before he made his move to escape.

Ji Yuan... had the same idea.

He waited for the Whale Patrol Boat to destroy, intending to release the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren to take him away.

Though the Corpse Puppet was unstable, it was at least a Fake Pill Cultivator, occasionally showing Golden Core Cultivation capability... Escaping with it shouldn’t be hard.

Furthermore, if they encountered great danger.

Ji Yuan had both the Black Dragon Armor and the Escape Shuttle talisman treasures he could use.

Additionally, within himself, he carried sect-gifted scales capable of defending against Golden Core attacks.

Of course, the most robust protective measure was the wine cup Hua Yaoyue gave him before departure.

’I, Ji Yuan, have ample protective measures!’

There was no need to worry about not escaping.

So Ji Yuan also waited... For about three to five breaths, a very distinct ”crack” echoed through the entire cabin.

There was one crack, then a second, and a third...

The seawater cascading from the cabin ceiling transformed from a rain curtain into a deluge.

In the fourth-floor corridor, the Wailing Wanderer shouted.

”Go!”

With that, he and Ye Zhiqiu turned into black mist and dispersed, leaving this place.

Additionally disappearing was the storage bag at Luo Sifu’s waist.

As he moved, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators scrambled to rush towards the rift atop the Whale Patrol Boat, hoping to escape there.

But Ji Yuan wasn’t in a hurry. He continued to shield everyone ahead of him.

The outside situation was still unclear, and rushing out might not be the best choice; better to let these scouts go first.

Moreover, with seawater pouring into the cabin, escaping through the bottom would be better than going out the top.

Sure enough, as four or five people barely got out, sounds of magical combat came from outside, and ongoing techniques slammed against the Whale Patrol Boat, making those who hadn’t left hesitate.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense saw everything clearly.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had just gotten out took out an exquisite Dharma ship from somewhere, intending to escape, but was targeted by a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment man beside him.

As for other Demon Beasts... appeared to be none, and after a moment, Ji Yuan waited no longer.

He too turned into black mist and slipped out from the bottom of the ship.
