Longevity through Upgrading Buildings
Chapter 869 - 350: [Cave Mansion: Level 4]
But luckily, Mei Manor had no intention of lingering here. This place was within the Human Race’s territory, and since he had revealed his true form, if he didn’t leave now... he feared he truly wouldn’t be able to leave at all.
So he laughed loudly and stomped on the manifested white tiger’s head, and as lightning flashed, he instantly arrived at the formation in the sky.
He punched out fiercely.
A "boom" resounded as if the sky collapsed and the earth split open, and cracks as dense as spider webs appeared on the Tier Four formation.
One punch followed by another punch.
But with this punch, the person behind obviously diverted energy from the formation, letting this Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Demon leave directly.
So after breaking through the formation,
Mei Manor stood outside the array and glanced back at West Border City.
Standing on the ruins, unconsciously revealing his original appearance, Ji Yuan stood proudly, coincidentally meeting his gaze.
As they looked at each other, Ji Yuan’s green robe flapped noisily.
"Hmph!"
Mei Manor looked at that figure completely unafraid of him, feeling even more gloomy and fearful because he couldn’t figure out nor see through where the person stood, hence not daring to attempt anything either.
In the end, he just gave a cold snort and transformed into a purple stream of light, flying straight toward the Endless Sea in the west.
Just at the moment he left, a colorful flower deer followed from Celestial Killer Mountain, seemingly leaving a trail of petals wherever it went.
Tier Four Demon Beast, Sky-Stepping Flower Deer!
’Such a Tier Four Demon Beast really appeared in Celestial Killer Mountain, and it’s not even transformed yet...’
Ji Yuan muttered in his heart, but then two streaks of black light flew from Celestial Killer Mountain, directly aiming to kill that Sky-Stepping Flower Deer yet to transform.
Mei Manor, who had already left far away, seeing this, killed back again by himself, blocking the two figures.
Then on the canopy above, thunder rumbled, and demonic sounds spread.
Ji Yuan couldn’t see clearly nor dared to fly up to see.
He only knew that after the sound dissipated, only two Human Race figures were left standing on the canopy.
As for Mei Manor and that Tier Four Sky-Stepping Flower Deer, both were gone without a trace.
Just when Ji Yuan thought things would stop here, Mei Manor’s voice echoed once again in his sea of consciousness.
"Ji, we’ll never meet again!"
"..."
The news spread quickly.
Before Ji Yuan even returned to his Cave Mansion, he received news from Mr. Talisman.
It was roughly about a new Tier Four Demon Beast appearing in Celestial Killer Mountain, but it was inconvenient to leave, and it didn’t dare to undergo the Transformation Crossing Thunder Tribulation in Celestial Killer Mountain.
Somehow, it contacted Master of the Sea Ruins, Mei Manor.
As for Mei Manor, it’s said he was newly appointed Master of the Sea Ruins, and just when he needed people, so he came personally to take it.
After Mei Manor arrived, he was first dissatisfied with the actions of the Black and White Divine Hall, killed many cultivators, and seized a lot of demon beast resources, which led to this event.
Seeing the situation exposed, he had no choice but to take the risk and leave with the Tier Four Sky-Stepping Flower Deer.
As for him suddenly going mad in West Border City, there are varied opinions.
Some say his cultivation went awry, some say he harmed the previous Master of the Sea Ruins and his conscience was uneasy and backfired on him, and others say he was threatened by that Divinity Transformation Ancestor from the Black and White Divine Hall.
In general, there were all kinds of theories.
And Ji Yuan and those cultivators originally in that restaurant were all questioned, but the ones who came to question were just a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
Ji Yuan used a Transformation Talisman to change his aura and appearance, easily getting through.
Once he finally returned to his Cave Mansion, he had made his decision.
Run!
After causing this big trouble, Mei Manor, that damn creature, knew his location. Staying here in West Border City was no longer safe.
Even though Mei Manor said several times before leaving, they would never meet again or interfere with each other... but who would believe the words of the Demon Race? That meant your life would be over.
As for where to run, Ji Yuan already had it figured out on the way back.
Where to go?
To Northern Border City!
Several reasons for going there.
Firstly, the Void Nether Stone Ji Yuan needed the most was primarily produced in Northern Border City. To be specific, it’s outside Northern Border City at the Bone Nightmare Sect, and likewise, the Zhou Family, who sells Void Nether Stone, is also in Northern Border City.
Secondly, in the Four Border Cities of the Jiyuan Continent, Northern Border City is a veritable Demon City.
Two Holy Lands near Northern Border City are precisely the Bone Nightmare Sect and Soul Refining Hall.
Ji Yuan carefully considered his situation; the powerful Yin Corpse Demon Fire is a Demon Cultivator’s method, so going there would be like a fish in water.
Also, after re-forging the Canglan Sword with Purple Sky Stone, it has a natural restraining effect on Demon Cultivators.
In other words, when facing both righteous and demonic paths of the same cultivation level, Ji Yuan deals more damage to the demonic path, so he would have more confidence dealing with the Demon Dao daily.
Thirdly, the Soul-Eroding Ghost Willow for upgrading the [Chicken Cage] is only available in the Soul Refining Hall.
It’s hard to find in West Border City; going to Northern Border City gives more opportunities. If it’s really impossible to buy, it’s easier to find people from the Soul Refining Hall to kill.
Thinking it over, among the Four Border Cities, Northern Border City was currently most suitable for Ji Yuan.
Of course, the slightly cheaper teleportation fee was also a reason.
Teleporting to Northern Border City only costs 5000 pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, but going to East Border City would cost 10000 pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stones instead.
"..."
"What?! Brother Ji, you’re going to Lindong City!"
Mu Xueyao was clearly surprised upon hearing this news, which made her unconsciously blurting out.
"Hmm? Isn’t it Northern Border City?"
