Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 594 - 268: Feng Yichen—Situ the Demon

Ji Yuan’s steps did not pause for a moment, not even meeting Phoenix Peach’s gaze.

Because he knew that since Yun Qianzai could tell him, he would naturally tell the other two as well.

"So, are you saying that those who disappeared were most likely Li Yuan’s doing?"

Phoenix Peach’s voice echoed in Ji Yuan’s mind again.

"Not necessarily, but it most likely has something to do with Li Yuan."

Yun Qianzai continued to speak.

The senior and junior brother and sister communicated through voice transmission, like setting up a simple "chat group."

Walking at the front, Ran Kui listened to the conversation of his junior brothers and sisters and couldn’t help but say through voice transmission, "In my years of experience traveling outside, don’t rush to a conclusion on any matter."

"This is the Cultivation Realm. Many times, even what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth."

"For example, when I was on Shang Mountain, I encountered an incident where a Big-Mouth Carnivorous Snai was eating the corpse of a Spirit Control Sect friend. Another friend saw this and immediately killed it without saying a word."

"But only later did we find out that the Big-Mouth Carnivorous Snai was actually an uncontracted spirit beast of that Spirit Control Sect friend. It wanted to take him home after seeing him dead. But as a result..."

Ran Kui wanted to teach his junior brothers and sisters some wisdom from his experiences.

Ji Yuan listened in silence, feeling inexplicably muted.

Moreover, he also noticed something off about the elders of Black Dragon Island. If he had the chance, he would’ve used the PWoang Divine Eyes to take a look inside the grand hall earlier.

Because the relationships between those elders indeed seemed a bit strange.

And they each seemed to know something but didn’t dare to speak.

The one who transmitted to Yun Qianzai probably had a close relationship with him, knowing the temperament of this "Yun Family Ancestor," or else they wouldn’t dare to speak up.

"In any case, the atmosphere on Black Dragon Island is indeed weird. Stay with me, don’t disperse, and be cautious of everything."

Among the four brothers and sisters, Ran Kui was the most experienced. Being the senior brother, he naturally had to protect his junior brothers and sisters.

Although they had just arrived, he sensed a different undertone.

With the senior brother and sister speaking up, Ji Yuan also spoke to the three of them through voice transmission, "At this point, it’s indeed strange that Li Yuan would let those two elders guard the Black Dragon Stone alone."

"If the Black Dragon Stone is really so important, he should have dispatched a few more elders to guard it." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Instead of letting those two elders guard it, it’s basically sending them to their deaths."

Phoenix Peach followed up, "And didn’t you notice? Our Water Dragon Sect, as the Upper Sect, is here, led by a Fake Pill Cultivator and four Golden Core Disciples.’

With such a line-up, even at other five Immortal Sects, a Golden Core Zhenren would come out to greet, yet Master Xuan Shui of Black Dragon Island didn’t even show up, which feels somewhat dismissive of our Water Dragon Sect."

"Li Yuan mentioned this."

Ran Kui replied, "He said that Profound Turtle Zhenren is nearing the end of his lifespan and has shut himself in a deadlock retreat. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so passive."

"I still think it’s Master Xuan Shui who’s behind the killings. He might be nearing his lifespan’s end and started cultivating some blood-stealing demon skill to prolong his life, killing people all along."

Yun Qianzai held firmly to his opinion.

Ji Yuan also thought there was some reasoning to it since his second senior brother’s analysis was thorough.

But Ran Kui no longer paid attention to it since, without substantive results, everything was just idle speculation, and the actual task assigned by Master Xuan Shui was to guard the Black Dragon Stone.

As for the matters of Black Dragon Island, they weren’t part of the task.

Once Ji Yuan and the others left the grand hall, they each summoned their Flying Boats, heading towards the Cliff direction. Just before leaving the Black Dragon Island compound, Ji Yuan saw a Dharma Ship bearing the Water Dragon Sect’s flag rising from the island.

It then flew towards the continent in the west.

"Hmm?"

Ji Yuan saw it, as did the leading Ran Kui. He slowed his Flying Boat and cupped his hands towards the people on the Dharma Ship:

"May I know which brother or sister is it? I am the Isle Master of Martial Mourning."

Ji Yuan transmitted to Phoenix Peach, "Could it be that our sect still has people executing tasks here?"

"The Sect Leader Martial Uncle didn’t mention it, I have no idea. Let’s see who it is first."

Everyone stopped, and Li Yuan explained proactively, "These are friends from your sect coming to our island to collect Dragon Saliva, they come once every three months."

As the Dharma Ship approached, Ji Yuan saw clearly who was coming.

With just one glance, he thought the situation was not that simple.

Because leading the Dharma Ship was... Feng Yichen!

The one who was reputed as the number one in Qi Cultivation Stage back then, who supposedly died in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven but returned alive... of course, he was called Feng Yichen back then.

After being seized, he should be addressed as... Situ Feng.

Han Feiyu once told Ji Yuan the true name of this seizing demon monster, and he had always remembered it, never thinking he would encounter him here.

Ji Yuan squinted at this old friend from the past, who was only at the Peak of Qi Refining when he emerged from Nine Nether Cave Heaven, and only a few years later, he had reached Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Even if Ji Yuan exhausted his entire life’s resources and apprenticed under a Core Formation Cultivator, his cultivation speed wasn’t as fast.

You truly aren’t even pretending anymore!

Ji Yuan saw him, and naturally, he also saw Ji Yuan standing behind the crowd.
