Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 649: Chapter 286: My Purple Eyes Are Gone

”Junior Brother, Junior Brother, I’ve finally brought back reinforcements.”

The silhouette from the sky landed fashionably late, and who else could it be but the vanished Li Changhe?

Ji Yuan glanced at him, hurried forward, and respectfully saluted the Ice and Fire Elder before him, ”Greetings, Predecessor Binghuo, at...at that time the situation was urgent and I had no chance to explain, it truly was my fault.”

There was no time to explain.

Could it be that he spent a whole year on Ice and Fire Island without explaining?

Ji Yuan felt as if he got caught red-handed doing something wrong, even his face seemed flushed, not daring to look up at the Ice and Fire Elder standing before him.

”Haha.”

The Ice and Fire Elder didn’t take this trifle to heart; seeing Ji Yuan’s demeanor, he found it amusing and couldn’t resist a chuckle.

A while back, upon learning of Ji Yuan’s true identity and actions from Li Gang, he straightforwardly said:

”This Ji Yuan is far better than you bunch of bungling nephews in the Li Family, if he truly were to be called Li Changshou, you’d be the one benefiting.”

”Indeed.”

Li Gang not only didn’t object but also earnestly nodded his head, agreeing with the statement.

”Alright, a trifling matter, stand up, Nephew.”

The Ice and Fire Elder lifted his hand, pulling Ji Yuan to his feet. Suddenly, upon looking at the Ice and Fire Elder before him, something occurred to him and he said with keen insight:

”Predecessor, my purple eye...”

Before he could finish, the Ice and Fire Elder interrupted him with a voice transmission, ”We will discuss this matter privately later.”

”Yes.”

From the corner of Ji Yuan’s eye, he saw the Fire Python Zhenren who had been knocked away earlier flying back, landing beside Miao Yao Zhenren, and angrily yelling at the Ice and Fire Elder:

”Everyone is working for righteousness, Daoist Binghuo came up without a word and injured me, isn’t that too excessive!”

The Ice and Fire Elder squinted his eyes instinctively upon hearing this.

He flickered, a gray mist enveloped and flashed across him.

When the mist dispersed, he had changed from a domineering human emperor to a sinister hunchbacked old man, holding two glossy walnuts in his hand, seemingly recalling something, looking up at the Fire Python Zhenren before him, slowly asking:

”I’ve been away for decades, has the human mainland turned into such a spectacle?”

”Since when did lower ranks dare speak loudly to higher ranks like this?”

With that, he casually took a step forward.

Just this step, Miao Yao Zhenren, who was originally standing next to Fire Python Zhenren, transformed into an Escape Light and left quickly, not forgetting to leave a word as he departed.

”This matter has nothing to do with me, I ask Daoist Binghuo to investigate clearly.”

After saying that, he didn’t stop until his form returned to above his residence.

Fire Python Zhenren’s face turned extremely ugly, under such circumstances, he could only stubbornly say: ”I have shed blood for Shang Dong, I have risked my life for Shang Mountain!”

The Ice and Fire Elder said nothing, but Li Changhe behind him spoke.

He scoffed, ”Predecessor, you were bleeding and risking your life for Shang Dong? You were clearly doing it for yourself, rather it’s pitiful for the rotten corpse Zhenren from Corpse Transporting Mountain, who lost half his life rescuing you and is still lying on Shang Mountain.”

Fire Python Zhenren couldn’t refute, he felt a chill down his spine.

At this moment, neither staying nor leaving felt right.

”I, I am under the command of the Six Sect Alliance, here to guard this Wangcheng Mountain Alchemy Square...”

Fire Python Zhenren originally wanted to forcibly bolster his courage, but the result was the more he spoke, the more fearful he became, his voice getting softer.

The Ice and Fire Elder sneered, a token emitting a gentle white light flew out from his sleeve, suspended before the two.

”Six Sect’s command: from now on, this Wangcheng Mountain Alchemy Square comes under my jurisdiction. You... can leave!”

Upon seeing this, Fire Python Zhenren’s figure was frightened to step back, his face turning instantly pale.

”You...I...”

He stammered for a while, ultimately transforming into an Escape Light and leaving.

Even though he had left, the Ice and Fire Elder didn’t forget to remind, ”The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who just died was killed by me for disobeying my orders, if any other news spreads, I’ll assume you are the source.”

In mid-air, Fire Python Zhenren’s figure wobbled and he dared not linger.

Seeing him leave, the Ice and Fire Elder finally withdrew his aura, turning back to glance at Ji Yuan and Li Changhe.

”Follow me.”

”Alright.”

Li Changhe responded, then went to Huang Richeng’s corpse, casting a Fire Technique, with the wave of fire, in just the span of a breath, the corpse turned to ashes.

”Ah, satisfying!”

Li Changhe laughed heartily.

Ji Yuan said nothing, simply followed behind the Ice and Fire Elder as they moved forward.

Li Changhe quickly caught up, placed his hand on Ji Yuan’s shoulder, and transmitted his voice smugly, ”Junior Brother Ji, how about the protector I found?”

”It’s undeniably powerful!”

Ji Yuan sincerely remarked.

His words were no mere politeness, but the truth.

In the Shang Dong Six Immortal Sect, without the Nascent Soul Ancestors appearing, then late-stage Golden Core and peak Golden Core were the pinnacle forces.

Evidently, the Ice and Fire Elder was such a peak force.

Now he had come to this modest Wangcheng Mountain Alchemy Square... With him here, Ji Yuan wouldn’t have to worry about anything while staying in this Alchemy Square.

”This time I went to Shang Mountain, not only did I invite the esteemed predecessor Binghuo, but I also finally uncovered Huang Richeng’s background.”
