Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1014: Chapter 378: Initiating with Nascent Soul Slaying!

But soon, a louder noise came from directly in front of the high platform where Ji Yuan and the others were standing.

The powerful energy that spilled out was so intense that the Bone Nightmare Old Demon had to cast a spell to block it.

“The Nascent Souls are clashing.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon communicated telepathically.

“Why kill…”

A sharp screech suddenly exploded, and just as Ji Yuan recognized who was speaking, the sound faded away.

As this anomaly stopped, the entire fog became quiet.

Even the extremely dense Yin Energy seemed to be dispersed by the commotion of the clash.

Ji Yuan discovered that the range his Divine Sense could probe was gradually widening, but he immediately withdrew his Divine Sense.

Soon after, his vision and hearing also recovered.

Ma Gui glanced at Ji Yuan who stood in the center of the five people, his mouth twitching involuntarily, yet he said nothing.

Because everyone’s attention was drawn to the high platform in the south.

The originally even eight platforms now had the southern one inexplicably cut in half.

Standing there originally was the last to arrive, Yunya Watch.

But now, out of the initial five from Yunya Watch, only four remained.

All three Core Formation cultivators were there, but of the two Nascent Soul cultivators… only the Lady of Joy remained.

Her face was pale, chest heaving violently, lacking the earlier seductive aura.

All that remained was deep fear.

…The early-stage Nascent Soul Soul Eater was nowhere to be found.

The last scream Ji Yuan heard just now came from the Soul Eater.

But now…

Elder Hei standing above them all raised his right hand, holding a bloody head.

If it wasn’t the Soul Eater, then who?

At this moment, Ji Yuan sharply noticed many Nascent Soul cultivators’ pupils constricting, clearly shocked by the scene.

“Soul Eater, colluding with the Demon Race of the Rashamon Sea, betraying the Human Race, deserves death.”

Elder Hei simply said and then threw the head into the deep pit below.

A Nascent Soul cultivator who seemed capable of traversing the Jiyuan Continent died so inexplicably.

Without even a chance to resist.

“Does Yunya Watch have anything to say?”

After speaking, Elder Hei turned to look at the still pale-faced Lady of Joy.

She shook her head expressionlessly.

Only then did Elder Hei withdraw his gaze.

Elder Bai took a step forward and chuckled, “It was just a little accident, just a joke with everyone.”

“There are still three months until the Rashamon Sea truly opens. You can wait here or return to your respective sects, either is fine.”

“If you wish to visit our Black and White Divine Hall, we welcome you.”

After saying this, he laughed and left the place alongside Elder Hei.

All that was left was True Monarch Pan Shi of the Black and White Divine Hall, sitting cross-legged on the sand, silently gazing downward.

The Nascent Soul cultivators on the platform also remained silent.

The Lady of Joy hesitated but ultimately took the three Core Formation cultivators and transformed into escape light, leaving the place.

It seemed after such a major event, she would likely return to discuss countermeasures with the other two Nascent Soul cultivators of Yunya Watch.

As for the next journey to Rashamon Sea, whether they would participate or not was still unknown.

“So, the Black and White Dual Fiends staged such a grand spectacle, the real purpose is to kill this Soul Eater?”

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother spread a Sound Insulation Restriction and spoke.

“Who they kill doesn’t matter, what matters is, they needed to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon reinforced the restriction with a spell before speaking.

“To establish dominance?!”

Yin Bone Master immediately understood.

“Yes.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon nodded, “Just wait and see. After they killed this Soul Eater, the Eight Holy Lands will quiet down considerably… yes, including our Bone Nightmare Sect.”

Ma Gui quickly added, “At times like this, the Black and White Divine Hall dares to act this way, they must have reliance.”

“Whether they do or not, everyone now tacitly acknowledges they do. No one dares to provoke them now.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon sighed.

The Fire Spirit Ghost Mother sneered, “A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. They spoke well earlier, now the Black and White Divine Hall shows their might, and everyone’s obedient.”

“Moreover, haven’t you noticed? The target they chose for their show of force was rather well chosen… Hu Beizhi, you say why.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon shifted attention to Ji Yuan, who had yet to speak.

“This…”

Ji Yuan was about to refuse, but the Bone Nightmare Old Demon urged, “Speak when told to, don’t hem and haw.”

…Is this old demon testing me?

Otherwise, what does he want me to say? After joining the Bone Nightmare Sect, barring one trip out, I haven’t been anywhere else, and even then, I thoroughly concealed my identity.

I shouldn’t be able to say anything, if I could, that would be strange.

Ji Yuan’s heart stirred, and he forced himself to speak, “Disciple just learned that the Soul Eater joined Yunya Watch, as for the intricacies… truly unknown.”

The Bone Nightmare Old Demon stared at him for a while before withdrawing his gaze, speaking to himself:

“First, the Lady of Joy from Jiyuan Continent joined Yunya Watch, then she connected with this Soul Eater. After they joined together, they formed a rivalry against Yunya Watch’s Qian Array Old Monster and Su Bai Ze.”

“Moreover, due to the special nature of the Joy Palace’s cultivation technique, many cultivators of Yunya Watch began switching factions, especially the newcomers to Yunya Watch, most of whom joined under Joy Palace.”
