Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 820 - 340: Ji Yuan: ”I’ve Become Old Demon Ji?!

If Mu Xueyao can really escape, then everything will be fine.

But if she can’t escape, Ji Yuan will have to use the Escape Shuttle.

However, this Talisman Treasure crafted by a Core Formation Cultivator probably won’t leave them far behind, and it can only be used once.

Ji Yuan plans to activate the Lightning Pursuit once he has shaken them off.

Using this Miracle Treasure, Ji Yuan is confident he can lose them, even if they’re at the late-stage of Core Formation.

Once he’s decided to act, Ji Yuan no longer intends to flee.

The moment his figure swiftly turned around, he retrieved a green gourd from his Storage Bag.

Infusing mana, activating the Magical Treasure.

Dense green smoke billowed out from the Plague Dragon Gourd, instantly dyeing the surrounding sea green.

Ji Yuan then activated another Magical Treasure, the Overturning Sea Pearl.

The surrounding sea area was immediately brought under Ji Yuan’s control.

But this was far from enough.

Attempting to stall three mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators with just these means was sheer folly.

So, the Stream Firefly Sword beside Ji Yuan also quickly transformed into a fog.

Combined with the sea area confined by the Overturning Sea Pearl, it immediately trapped the three mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators charging up.

”Damn, how can a Fake Pill Realm have so many Magical Treasures and still claim not to be Old Demon Ji!”

Li Hanzhou let out a low curse and quickly activated the Dark Gold Serpent.

The serpent surged through the sea, breaking through the domain of the Overturning Sea Pearl in just a moment.

The green-robed cultivator Feng Buhui activated the Heart-devouring Cauldron in his hand, which absorbed all the poisonous mist produced by the Plague Dragon Gourd as it emitted a strong suction.

The remaining Yue Pan clasped his hands together, revealing a pair of earthy-yellow gauntlets.

He swung his left hand upward and right hand downward with force.

In an instant, a brilliant blade light emerged from his palm, cutting through the waters and dispelling the mist produced by the Stream Firefly Sword completely.

Ultimately, the gap in cultivation was too vast.

Ji Yuan felt that if he had a Core Formation beginner’s cultivation, they wouldn’t have broken through so easily.

But it was enough; these means had already bought him five breaths of time.

His Divine Sense swept over.

He saw Mu Xueyao squatting in the sea behind him, pulling out a crane with wooden supports from her Storage Bag, using mana to activate it. It didn’t look mundane.

”Not good, they’re going to escape!”

Yue Pan, the nearest, noticed Mu Xueyao’s actions and quickly shouted.

Feng Buhui immediately activated his Poison Cauldron and charged forward.

Finally, Li Hanzhou seemed to sense something, and the Dark Gold Serpent flew back under his feet, taking him backward.

Yue Pan, who was already very close, raised his hands protectively in front of him.

”Ding—”

The Ground-splitting Gauntlet blocked several Flying Sword embryos, while two Flying Needles nearly forced him to retreat.

Yet, as he retreated, he saw, in the corner of his eye, that Ji Old Demon, who had been miles away, was suddenly right in front of him.

Close to Feng Buhui.

Escape Technique?

Or something else.

How could his speed be so fast!

He wasn’t the only one surprised; Feng Buhui was shocked to see Ji Old Demon appear beside him, and fear enveloped him.

With the Heart-devouring Cauldron in hand, he positioned it protectively between himself and Ji Old Demon.

Ji Yuan... had already swung his fist.

”Boom—”

His punch landed on the Heart-devouring Cauldron, and the immense strength of mid-stage Bone Forging Realm poured out.

A punch of sheer force, despite the Lifebound Magical Treasure blocking it, still shook Feng Buhui’s organs, making him vomit blood.

A visible depression in the shape of a fist appeared on the Heart-devouring Cauldron.

As for him, he was sent flying, breaking through the water and being rapidly hurled backward.

It was only Li Hanzhou’s intervention that prevented the unconscious Feng Buhui from suffering secondary harm.

Ji Yuan’s consecutive strikes finally secured enough time.

Mu Xueyao had activated the wooden crane, and she rode on its neck, waving rapidly toward Ji Yuan while excitedly shouting:

”Brother Ji, come quickly, come quickly.”

Ji Yuan remained composed as he casually beckoned, causing the Plague Dragon Gourd, Celestial Poison Needle, and Overturning Sea Pearl to fly into his Storage Bag.

He then flickered and appeared on the crane’s back.

Mu Xueyao urged the crane, which transformed into an orange-yellow beam, disappearing at high speed into the northern sky.

The remaining Li Hanzhou and Yue Pan could only look at each other in dismay.

For three mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators teaming up against a Fake Pill Cultivator and still letting him escape... Neither of them felt embarrassed about it.

On the contrary, they found it rather usual.

”This person... is undoubtedly Old Demon Ji!”

After saying this, Li Hanzhou summoned a Flying Boat-shaped Flying Spiritual Artifact, placing Feng Buhui on it, and then retrieved a fragrant Elixir from his Storage Bag, feeding it to him.

Yue Pan, on the other hand, remained vigilant of the surroundings.

Old Demon Ji was known for being treacherous, and although he seemed to have fled now, who knew if he was hiding nearby, waiting for them to let down their guard and then striking back.

Such things were not uncommon.

”It must be him.”

Yue Pan also asserted, ”Fake Core Cultivation, one strike nearly killed Old Feng... You think he’s not Old Demon Ji?”

”Moreover, when he first appeared, didn’t he already reveal his identity?”

Yue Pan said with a sneer.

”Revealing his identity upon arrival, then denying it vehemently, even pleading and begging for mercy, and before leaving, trying to beat us to death. This crazy behavior, you say he’s not Old Demon Ji... Do you believe it, Old Li?”

Li Hanzhou took a deep breath.
