Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 819 - 339: Ji Yuan Arrives at the Extreme Abyss

Ji Yuan immediately withdrew the Spirit Devouring Armor on him, while the Sky-Splitting Boat emerged beneath his feet.

He first glanced at the female cultivator fleeing beside him.

She wasn’t very tall, looking only about 1.55 meters, almost like a child, but most striking was her golden hair, and looking further down... four words flashed across Ji Yuan’s mind.

Child-faced giant... something.

She sensed Ji Yuan’s gaze and looked back.

Blue eyes.

But why does her look seem odd...

’Do people on the Jiyuan Continent all look like this?’

As Ji Yuan pondered this, he checked out the other three people, discovering that these three men were normal, much like himself.

So he chuckled and cupped his fists:

"I am Ji Yuan, just passing by here, looking to ask for directions and don’t know this fellow cultivator. If I disturbed you, I apologize."

Ji Yuan felt he spoke impeccably.

To show he meant no harm, Ji Yuan even withdrew the Spirit Devouring Armor beforehand.

As for reporting his true name, he didn’t mind; the Jiyuan Continent is not like Cangluo Continent, besides Liu Yuan and Du Wanyi, no one knows him as Ji Yuan.

"What? Old Demon Ji!"

As Ji Yuan finished speaking, a mid-stage Core Formation man in a white robe exclaimed.

The other two Core Formation cultivators immediately became alert, looking at Ji Yuan with sinister intent.

Only the golden-haired female cultivator’s eyes sparkled and became incredibly lively, even... extremely excited upon hearing Ji Yuan’s name.

Ji Yuan examined the four with his divine sense.

Easily discernible, the three men were there to hunt the female cultivator; he was just caught in the mix.

Their language seemed strange, different from the Cangluo Continent, yet listening intently revealed some similarities... could this be their dialect?

Of course, this is just a trivial detail.

Because Ji Yuan noticed that after he reported his name, all four of them became quite bizarre.

Whether hunters or the hunted, they were peculiar.

So what does this indicate?

It means the strange one isn’t them, but... himself!

’But what’s strange about me? I just came to the Jiyuan Continent, haven’t provoked anyone, and I haven’t even used Qiu Qianhai’s name.’

’Right, what did that guy call me... Old Demon Ji?’

’How does he know my name, oh no, this isn’t even my name!’

Ji Yuan felt something was off, many puzzles in his mind.

"Ji Yuan, right? You robbed so many things from our Celestial Killer Mountain, killed so many of us, and you dare show up... pretending here!"

The white-robed man sneered.

His speech was rapidly paced, leaving Ji Yuan unsure of his meaning.

But judging from his tone, it’s definitely not good.

The other two mid-stage Core Formation men remained silent but had already activated their lifebound magical treasures.

One summoned a flashy golden Treasure Pearl from his Dantian, vaguely showing a golden serpent’s shadow constantly winding inside.

The other called forth a small cyan three-legged cauldron from his Dantian.

Ji Yuan swept over with his divine sense, sensing the green vapor, recognizing it as a toxic magical treasure.

Just like the Poison Dragon Flask in his storage bag.

’Damn, I just arrived, why do they seem determined to clash with me, as if I’ve offended them!’

Since the opponents already set up, Ji Yuan couldn’t sit idly.

He raised his right hand, sword fingers guarding in front, summoning Protective Spirit Light while letting the Golden Light Mirror hover before him.

The Canglan, Yunque, and Liuying flying sword embryos also floated around him.

"Senior, perhaps there’s a misunderstanding!"

"I just arrived at your esteemed place, and never met anyone, why resort to violence upon meeting!"

Ji Yuan knew something went wrong, causing a misunderstanding.

Because upon mentioning his name, they even disregarded that golden-haired female cultivator, focusing all their killing intent on him.

"Brother Ji, don’t fight them, their Celestial Killer Mountain is skilled in prolonged fights, once entangled, it’s hard to shake off!"

The golden-haired female cultivator’s soft voice arose in Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

Moreover, she spoke in the elegant language Ji Yuan was familiar with.

...Wait, lady, we just met, are we that familiar?!

Who’s your Brother Ji!

Ji Yuan remained silent, contemplating the Electromagnetic Treasure floating beside him.

Activating this Miracle Treasure consumes much mana and time.

So...

Ji Yuan flicked his right hand, tossing dozens of Celestial Thunder Seeds, then turned to drive off aboard the Sky-Splitting Boat, instantly plunging into the sea below.

As he fled, the golden-haired female cultivator quickly followed, still transmitting sound:

"Brother Ji, I have a way to escape!"

"Who... who exactly are you!"

Finally unable to hold back, Ji Yuan spoke, "And them, why do they want to kill me at first sight!"

"It’s me, I’m Mu Xueyao, Brother Ji, how don’t you recognize me now."

The golden-haired female cultivator hurriedly said, "I came to the Land of the Far West looking for you, now I finally found you, Brother Ji, I’m truly so happy!"

Ji Yuan: "..."

The three Core Formation cultivators soon chased after them.

Ji Yuan didn’t expect the Celestial Thunder Seeds to hold them long, three mid-stage Core Formation... the feeling reminded Ji Yuan of facing Jiang Hong before.

’Damn, does this mean I’ll use the last Escape Shuttle just upon arriving?’

Several magic attacks struck from behind, shaking the surrounding waters repeatedly.

Ji Yuan promptly adhered a Divine Travel Talisman to the Sky-Splitting Boat, its bow breaking through the surface.

The golden-haired woman transformed into Escape Light, following closely.

"Brother Ji, can you hold them for ten breaths? If you distract them temporarily, I can bring us to safety... trust me, I can definitely get us out!"

Mu Xueyao anxiously said.

Behind, the three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators also broke through the water, seeing the Treasure Pearl’s golden serpent charging, Ji Yuan solemnly agreed:

"Alright!"
