Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1082: Chapter 392: Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Qiu’s Killing Spree [Monthly Ticket Request]

”Is that... Qiu Qianhai?!”

Ji Yuan suddenly turned his head.

Behind him, floating in mid-air, stood a young man with red robes and hair, identical to the attire of Nightmare True Monarch, but that face...

Ji Yuan recognized him at once.

It’s not that he often missed him, but in the past, during his time in Cangluo Continent, he committed quite a few mischievous deeds with that face.

”Haha, it’s me, I’m back!”

Qiu Qianhai leaned back, laughing heartily.

Then he took a step closer.

”How come... weren’t you supposed to be in the core area?”

The first part Ji Yuan spoke aloud, while the second part he communicated through sound transmission.

”My master has other bodies now, and doesn’t need me for the time being. If I were there, he’d have to take care of me, so Lord Ghost sent me back.”

Qiu Qianhai also replied through sound transmission.

Ji Yuan sensed that many matters might be hidden here, and he wanted to ask Qiu Qianhai what was truly happening... taking advantage of Nightmare True Monarch’s absence.

But now was clearly not the time for a detailed discussion, not to mention Ji Yuan had brought over three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts, and the place was already so chaotic.

There were many who were opportunistic in the chaos.

”Should we kill them?”

Qiu Qianhai looked at the three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts closing in without a trace of fear in his eyes, only a desire for magical combat.

Not to mention he could previously only hide in the sea of consciousness, watching helplessly as Nightmare True Monarch rampaged everywhere.

The moment he encountered Ji Yuan, Qiu Qianhai felt a strong urge.

That was to once again fight alongside Ji Yuan.

To reclaim the feeling of the old days when they roamed (to be deleted, recklessly pursued) Cloud Rain Marsh together, but later was taken to the core area by Nightmare True Monarch... now, he’s finally found the opportunity.

This made Qiu Qianhai’s heart stir.

The corner of Ji Yuan’s eye glanced at Qiu Qianhai; this kid, without Nightmare True Monarch’s possession, his cultivation had fallen back to Mid-stage Core Formation.

Having only Mid-stage Core Formation yet daring to fight against three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts...

”Years have passed, but your reckless nature hasn’t changed a bit, huh?”

Ji Yuan chided with a laugh.

”Heh, if I feared death, I wouldn’t have lived till now.”

Qiu Qianhai laughed while rubbing his hands together.

”Kill or not, I’m hardly able to suppress my urge to kill.”

”Kill, but not them. These Yin Ghosts aren’t worth much - the real targets...”

Ji Yuan’s steady gaze swept over the fleeing single cultivators.

”Good, good, still the same as ever, you truly deserve the title of Old Demon Ji!”

Qiu Qianhai said as his hands formed a seal, drawing a large circle in front of him, then pushed his hands forward fiercely.

Two enormous blood-colored hand imprints struck out, unexpectedly blocking the three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts charging forward.

Even Ji Yuan couldn’t help but look askance at this maneuver.

Mu Xueyao watched this scene, her gaze fell onto Qiu Qianhai.

She tentatively asked:

”You are the legendary Old Demon Ji... the one who saved me before, was it you?”

”Not me,” Qiu Qianhai didn’t even glance her way, directly pointed at Ji Yuan, ”It was him!”

”Alright, the hunt... it’s time to begin.”

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense followed those fleeing Core Formation cultivators, seeing they had escaped quite far; if he didn’t act soon, it might be too late.

”Let’s go!”

Qiu Qianhai’s voice had just sounded when he transformed into a streak of blood-red Escape Light and disappeared.

Just that speed was far from ordinary Mid-stage Core Formation cultivators!

Ji Yuan slightly estimated... Qiu Qianhai’s speed, though not matching his own when using Chasing Lightning, could certainly rival typical Peak Core Formation cultivators.

...Nightmare True Monarch invested heavily into his future vessel indeed!

Ji Yuan watched this scene, inevitably feeling some worry.

But with so many merit points right before him, now wasn’t the time for worry.

Even if there was worry, it should only come after collecting those merit points.

Otherwise, it would fail the Ghost Envoy’s meticulous planning!

Then Ji Yuan once again wrapped his arm around Mu Xueyao, his nearby Flying Sword infused a trace of Purple Sky Divine Thunder into Chasing Lightning Cloud.

”Chasing Lightning!”

Ji Yuan called lightly, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Within a mere moment, those Loose Cultivators who had been frenziedly besieging East Peak Tower... had all vanished.

Leaving only the disciples of the Black and White Divine Hall within the array, looking around at each other.

For a moment, they faced the three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts guarding outside the array, unsure whether to flee or not.

Ji Yuan’s Chasing Lightning only took a single time to overtake Qiu Qianhai.

”Your Magical Treasure is indeed swift; lend it to me sometime.”

Qiu Qianhai’s gaze settled on the Chasing Lightning Cloud beneath Ji Yuan, but his mind was evidently elsewhere.

His hands came together, forming a Dharma Seal.

In an instant, two beams of blood-red intersected mid-air, bursting into a brilliant blood-colored shimmer.

A pursued Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator dissolved into a blood mist and scattered, leaving only a long saber-like Lifebound Magical Treasure and a Storage Bag, dropping from mid-air.

But before they touched the ground, Qiu Qianhai had already utilized the Artifact Manipulation Technique to retrieve them all, handing them to Mu Xueyao.

With a smile, he said:

”First-time meeting, as the elder brother, I didn’t prepare any gifts, but after killing more Core Formation cultivators, I’ll give you all the Storage Bags, haha.”

He then raised his brow at Ji Yuan.

”How about it? Married yet? If not, I want the top seating; if you’re married, then invite me for a feast.”
