Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 693: Chapter 300: Old Demon Qiu!

You’re steadier than an old dog, aren’t you?

Though his heart was full of complaints, Ji Yuan still gave a thumbs up on the surface.

”High! Brother Soul is indeed high.”

”Simply high and mighty!”

Empty Soul Wanderer heard Ji Yuan’s praise, waved his hand, and then spoke in a heartfelt tone:

”Brother Qiu overestimates me. Actually, the reason for having Brother Qiu go to the hall this time was thinking that Brother Qiu just arrived and hasn’t shown his face in our White Bone Sect.”

”So I let Luo Ma lead you to see for yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan was very touched, quickly stood up, and cupped his fists towards Empty Soul Wanderer.

”Brother Soul’s kindness, I, Old Qiu, remember well. In the future, if Brother Soul has any matters, it’s as if I, Old Qiu, have matters!”

”Haha, good! You’re indeed a good brother of mine, Empty Soul Wanderer!”

Empty Soul Wanderer laughed and said: ”Then let’s not delay. Brother Qiu, why not quickly go with Brother Luo Ma to the hall to invite people? We will now go to the valley to guard it so the righteous cultivators don’t escape.”

”Good, let’s not delay. We’ll set off now!”

Ji Yuan said as he was already walking towards the door, ”Brother Luo Ma, aren’t you quickly coming along?”

After leaving Hundred Years Town, Ji Yuan followed Luo Ma, riding his skull, and flew eastward.

Meanwhile, thoughts were racing in his mind.

... It seems that back then, when Empty Soul Wanderer killed Wang Luo, it wasn’t without reason, because at that time, he was the only Array Master in the team. If he hadn’t been killed, Chang Kun and the others probably wouldn’t have fallen into this array now.

Cunning, indeed, the Demon Dao is truly cunning!

So now, Luo Ma definitely can’t go to the hall. Once he does, if three Fake Pill Realm demon cultivators are truly invited, unless a Core Formation Cultivator comes to help, otherwise, it’ll be beyond saving.

The best way is to, on the way, secretly deal with Luo Ma...!

Make sure he truly falls off the horse.

Otherwise, there’s no other way.

”Brother Qiu, now you know how strong our leader is, right? Sometimes I truly admire our leader’s mind; don’t know how he developed it, can come up with such foolproof plans.”

Luo Ma’s voice sounded in Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness, expressing amazement:

”Like the demon-hunting team in front of us, I basically watched them, step by step, fall into our trap.”

”Indeed strong. With a leader like this, it’s clear he’s going to live a long time.”

”Haha, definitely, our leader will even lead us to Core Formation.”

”By the way.”

Ji Yuan seemed to think of something, casually asked: ”Where’s the demon-hunting team trapped, why haven’t I heard any news?”

Luo Ma finished speaking and raised an eyebrow, ”Definitely, with our leader’s skills, how could there be leaks? The place isn’t far from Hundred Years Town, just south of Luomei Mountain.”

”Strong, I can only say they’re too strong, our leader truly deserves his name.”

While speaking, Ji Yuan exerted his Divine Sense to sense the surroundings.

There were no other cultivators nearby, but it was still somewhat close to Hundred Years Town, if acting now, it might be discovered, better to go slightly further away first.

While pondering in his heart, Ji Yuan heard Luo Ma say:

”Actually, the reason for sending the two of us to the hall has another reason, but the leader was reluctant to say.”

”What is it?”

Ji Yuan truly became a bit curious.

At the same time, he increasingly felt how hard Empty Soul Wanderer is to deal with; even at this point, he still held back.

”Can’t you really think that we’re inviting other Fake Pill cultivators to act without any cost?” Luo Ma asked, with a hint of curiosity.

”This...”

Ji Yuan slowed his flight speed, ”But Brother Soul hasn’t given us anything, so are we supposed to pay out of our pockets to invite those three Fake Pill cultivators to act?”

”Old Qiu can’t do it, I’m dirt poor myself, how could I afford to ask Fake Pill cultivators to act?”

Ji Yuan pretended to return.

Luo Ma quickly pulled him, ”Hey hey hey, Brother Qiu, what are you doing, relax, the pay from the leader is all with me, but when it comes time... it’s just... just one of the Fake Pill cultivators is rather difficult, probably after the matter, you’ll need to accompany her for a few days.”

”What do you mean by that?”

Ji Yuan truly didn’t get it.

”It’s just that the Fake Pill Cultivator is a Female Cultivator skilled in Dual Cultivation techniques, so you understand, such fortune and romance, the leader designated it for you.”

Luo Ma said, eyes still showing a bit of expectation and envy.

Dual Cultivation?

Aren’t that the techniques used for harvesting instead!

Ji Yuan now understands the Demon Dao more and more, overall, there isn’t a good one among them!

All of them are a bunch of sinister folks, of course, Qiu Qianhai isn’t.

”If so, let such romance be for Brother Luo Ma then.” Ji Yuan said with a smile.

Luo Ma’s face showed an unnatural expression, but soon he masked it, ”Forget it, forget it, Brother Qiu just arrived, such a fine job, still let you... you...”

While speaking, Luo Ma suddenly groaned, and his entire aura instantly plummeted to the bottom.

Pain surged in his chest as he struggled to look down, at the right hand piercing through his chest, fresh and bleeding, holding a heart.

A heart that’s beating faintly.

’That’s... my heart. So that’s what my heart looks like?’

”Qiu Qianhai, you... you... why...”

Luo Ma’s eyes were filled with disbelief, he struggled to make a sound but couldn’t say a complete sentence.

”Nothing much, just told you earlier your name was bad, now just rest in peace.”

Ji Yuan said, taking his non-beating heart and placing it back in his chest cavity, doing his best to keep the body intact, so that when he crawled out from the Chaotic Burial Mound again, his power wouldn’t decrease much.

Meanwhile.

On Luomei Mountain’s peak, Empty Soul Wanderer who was pretending to meditate suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the extinguished Soul Lamp in his Storage Bag, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes!

...There really is a problem!

Dang it, these righteous ones are truly a bunch of hypocrites!

He pondered repeatedly, glanced down at the blood-colored array, and ultimately chose to flee.

Life’s only once.

Keep one’s life and there’s always righteous cultivators to kill!

Better to leave first!

With this thought, he covered himself with the cloak behind him, muttered ”escape,” and vanished from the spot.
