Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1051: Chapter 385: Insect Demon Decides the Fate of the World!

“Makes sense, let’s leave it at that, each relying on our own skills.”

After Xiao Xuan spoke, he placed his left hand around him to form a seal, while his right hand suddenly struck down.

In an instant, the Golden Light Hand Seal appeared, and with just this move, it sent the Poisonous Evil Corpse King, which was comparable to a Half-step Nascent Soul, into the swamp.

Along with it, a massive handprint several meters deep appeared on the surface of the swamp.

Miles away, Ji Yuan continued to watch from the shadows.

But just at that moment, within his Divine Sense Domain, he suddenly noticed a slight disturbance in one corner of the swamp.

“Huh?”

He was puzzled for a moment, and immediately focused his divine sense to search that area carefully.

Just that slight movement, how could he not see through it… Someone, like him, chose to be the stalker, waiting for the right moment to strike decisively.

But the subconscious action just now exposed his presence.

In just a few breaths’ time, Ji Yuan found the figure of that person in the swamp.

Covered with a blood-stained shroud, lying quietly on the surface of the swamp, as if a corpse.

With a little careful probing, Ji Yuan quickly discerned this person’s true identity.

An old acquaintance, who could barely be considered an old friend.

Because it turned out to be Mo Tusheng, the foremost Core Formation of the Soul Refining Hall, who, like himself, also possessed the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

…It seems he must have hidden something too, confident in his own strength, which is why he chose to be the stalker here.

And judging from his recent performance, he seemed a bit too excited, unable to restrain himself. In this way, it might be possible to let him strike first.

With identities and status such as Ma Gui, Xiao Xuan, and the like, it’s impossible for them not to think that someone wants to be the stalker, so truly at the last critical moment, they will likely hold something back.

Thinking so, Ji Yuan silently made a decision.

If this is the case, to successfully ambush later, he cannot use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

He must use the Body Cultivator techniques to kill this Poisonous Evil Corpse King with one strike.

Otherwise, even if he succeeds, he can’t withstand their fierce counterattack.

Wearing the Spirit Devouring Armor and wielding the Fire God Spear is the safest method.

Vaguely, Ji Yuan was somewhat looking forward to it.

If this battle succeeds, his name will probably resound through this Rashamon Sea, right?

Who knows what kind of name they’ll give him then.

In the field, the Poisonous Evil Corpse King flew out from the bottom of the swamp, bringing with it hundreds of Core Formation Stage rotten corpses.

In this way, even the Core Formation cultivators watching from a distance couldn’t avoid it.

One by one, the rotten corpses flew out in all directions, but four Peak Core Formation rotten corpses remained, protecting the Poisonous Evil Corpse King and launching a fierce attack on Ma Gui and the others.

The magical combat became increasingly intense.

Fortunately, the place Ji Yuan chose to watch from was far enough away to avoid getting involved.

But always observing with his divine sense, he quickly noticed the anomaly.

Because the focus of the magical combat seemed to shift to those Core Formation cultivators who were watching.

More rotten corpses, fewer cultivators.

So each Core Formation cultivator faced attacks from several rotten corpses, not to mention that those rotten corpses seemed to intentionally or unintentionally drive them towards one place.

As they got closer, some cultivators died accidentally by others’ attacks.

…Some cultivators have already started to run away.

This scene made them lose even the thought of watching, fearing they might accidentally die here.

This dragged on for more than half an hour.

The four Peak Core Formation rotten corpses beside the Poisonous Evil Corpse King were also dealt with by them.

Together with the Poisonous Evil Corpse King, it was also nearing its limit.

One arm was removed, with wounds all over its body, constantly oozing green corpse fluid.

Each drop that fell on the ground corroded the swamp into a large pit.

“The opportunity is about to come!”

In the shadows, Ji Yuan first adjusted the conical hat on his head, then used a heart thought to summon the Spirit-Devouring Bee and Scorching Fire Marching Ant from the Spirit Beast Bag.

The black armor gradually spread across his body, and a long spear of black and red alternately formed slowly in his hands.

Fortunately, there was no one around him, and with the hiding conical hat, everything became silent.

After a while, Ji Yuan tightened his grip on the Fire God Spear, and also used his divine sense to guide a wisp of breath on his shoulder.

Zhu Dian was also ready at any moment.

“Yo, kid, finally not planning to hide and getting ready to make a move?”

The voice of the Ghost Envoy sounded out of nowhere.

In Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness, he solemnly responded with a heart thought, “Everything is for the Sect!”

“When I snatch the Corpse King away, the remaining ones will likely harbor resentment, unable to find an outlet, and will most likely fight each other.”

“Then, senior can profit from the infighting among them.”

“It’s always you, kid, tsk tsk tsk,” the Ghost Envoy remarked mockingly.

Ji Yuan took the opportunity to say, “When I succeed in the ambush, can senior immediately help me escape? After all, you said that killing the Corpse King allows one to advance to the Inner Domain… This doesn’t violate the Sect’s rules.”

By now, Ji Yuan has found out how to interact with the Ghost Envoy.

Everything for the Sect, everything according to the Sect’s rules.

Those two points are enough.

“Alright then, since you’re contributing to the Sect, I’ll assist you later… The opportunity is here!”

After the Ghost Envoy finished speaking, the breath immediately withdrew from Ji Yuan.
