Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 702: Chapter 303: Kong Xifeng Takes Action

Kong Xifeng lifted the snake-headed staff in her hand and thrust it forward, directly shattering the heart of the red-haired demon cultivator.

"In your next life, remember to be a good child."

After killing the red-haired demon cultivator, Kong Xifeng took another step forward and her figure appeared in front of the demon cultivator with the tattoo on his chest.

"I’m too old to tolerate people like you showing off tattoos of dragons with bare chests, such an eyesore."

With that, she struck again, directly smashing the demon cultivator’s head.

It was only as the demon cultivator lay dying that Ji Yuan seemed to see the black dragon tattoo on his chest move slightly.

Unfortunately, even in death, the black dragon tattoo couldn’t exert any power.

When Kong Xifeng appeared before the third demon cultivator, this Core Formation Realm demon cultivator was already trying to flee because, facing a Nascent Soul cultivator’s pursuit... there was simply no escape.

One could only perform a Golden Core Escape Light, while the other could perform Nascent Soul teleportation.

Escape?

In your next life.

And so, this Core Formation demon cultivator... self-destructed with a certain bravado.

"Impressive bravery."

Li Changhe remarked.

Ji Yuan also thought the demon cultivator was brave, but even his self-destruction couldn’t harm Kong Xifeng in the slightest.

Instead, Kong Xifeng contained the explosion of his self-destruction into a small sphere and tossed it onto an island in Cloud Rain Marsh where demon dao gathered.

It exploded with a bang.

The entire island, along with those Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Stage demon cultivators, all vanished without a trace.

After killing these three Core Formation demon cultivators, the remaining demon cultivators in Cloud Rain Marsh began to flee.

Kong Xifeng watched them without giving chase.

She chuckled to herself.

Hunting Owl Zhenren promptly piloted the building-like flying boat to Kong Xifeng’s side, bringing a boat full of cultivators, they bow and loudly expressed their gratitude:

"Thank you, Ancestor, for your rescue."

"Heh!"

Kong Xifeng sneered, glanced at the cultivators on the boat, then disappeared from sight.

It might have been a misconception, but Ji Yuan felt that Kong Xifeng’s last glance lingered on him for a moment longer.

After she left, Hua Yaoyue’s voice resonated in Ji Yuan’s mind.

"Tsk, that old thing is quite adept at clearing obstacles."

"Master!!!"

Ji Yuan shouted in his consciousness urgently.

Right now, nothing delighted him more than hearing Hua Yaoyue’s voice.

"Oh, it’s good that you’re back."

Perhaps too much had happened this year, Ji Yuan could even hear a sense of lamentation in Hua Yaoyue’s voice.

"Alright."

What follows was simple; with Kong Xifeng’s intervention, no Core Formation cultivator dared show their face again.

Even the two from the demon dao, touted as "unmatched below Nascent Soul," dare not appear.

After all, no matter how they boasted, they were still just Core Formation cultivators.

When they face a Nascent Soul cultivator, even the one with the lowest cultivation among them, they are no match.

The building-like flying boat forged ahead.

As they approached the sect gate, Ji Yuan realized how much the protective array of Water Dragon Sect had shrunk.

Because he saw where Wuyou Island originally was... it was already outside the Water Dragon Sect.

At least the Sect Protection Array of Water Dragon Sect no longer covered it.

Dong Qian’s Hu Yue Island had already been leveled by Water Dragon Sect; it seemed she was too far from the Cangluo Continent, her soul lamp extinguished, making Water Dragon Sect think she was dead.

Until passing through the Sect Protection Array of Water Dragon Sect again and entering the sect, Ji Yuan finally saw Du Wanyi’s Taian Island.

She had originally placed the island near Wuyou Island, and Wuyou Island was already at the very edge of Water Dragon Sect.

So her Taian Island was still on the outermost part of Water Dragon Sect now.

Once the demon dao attacks... her Taian Island will bear the brunt.

But truly in that moment, regardless where an island is, it makes no difference.

To Ji Yuan, as long as Taian Island is still there, it means Du Wanyi is still alive, whether she is currently in the sect or not.

As long as she’s alive, there’s hope.

"Alright, everyone can leave now."

Having returned to their own sect, there’s no more need for escorting.

Listening to Hunting Owl Zhenren’s words, Liu Yuan turned to Ji Yuan with a respectful nod.

"Brother Ji, I’ll head back first, contact me with a Communication Talisman if there’s anything."

"Alright."

Ji Yuan nodded, then said the same to Li Changhe.

"Contact me if there’s anything."

"Don’t worry, I’m off."

After speaking, Li Changhe released his Tier Two spirit beast, the Flying Sky Tiger with Wings, from the Spirit Beast Bag.

He stood on the tiger’s back and departed.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think of the Frost Serpent in his own Spirit Beast Bag.

After Monday ate that Tier Three Fire Python, it was lucky enough to advance to a Peak of Tier Two demon beast, but looking to advance to Tier Three... still a distant hope.

Without Tier Three, it can’t fly.

But the Flying Sky Tiger with Wings doesn’t have this problem; it’s inherently a flying demon beast.

Liu Yuan commanded the flying boat and left.

Ji Yuan bid farewell to Liu Qingshan, then summoned the Rift Sky Flying Boat, heading straight to the northeast.

That was the location of Wan You Island, and now, Wuyou Island was there too.

Under Ji Yuan’s full-speed rush, it took less than half an hour to arrive.

Firstly, this top-grade Spiritual Artifact was inherently fast, secondly... it spoke to how much smaller Water Dragon Sect had truly become.

Ji Yuan saw his Wuyou Island from above.

Apart from the change in island’s location, everything else remained intact, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he looked toward Wan You Island.

Hua Yaoyue seemed to have been waiting at the highest point of Wan You Island. As Ji Yuan gazed down, their eyes met.

"Master..."

Ji Yuan’s form descended to the island, landing steadily before Hua Yaoyue.

He performed a deep bow.

"It’s good that you’re back."

Hua Yaoyue looked him up and down, seeing he was unharmed, she withdrew her gaze.

"Master, with Corpse Transporting Mountain destroyed and Spirit Control Sect surrendering, where will Water Dragon Sect go from here?"

After rising, Ji Yuan asked the question he was most curious and anxious about.

Hua Yaoyue didn’t directly answer but said calmly:

"Where Water Dragon Sect goes isn’t important, what’s important is where you go."
