Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 599 - 269: Connection to the Jiyuan Continent

Chapter 599: Chapter 269: Connection to the Jiyuan Continent

Ran Kui swooped downward, while Ji Yuan was a step ahead, releasing his Divine Sense before hurriedly following suit.

In just a few breaths, the four arrived above the great hall, yet at this moment, Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense instantly captured a trace of a strange aura.

The aura moved unbelievably fast; initially, it was within Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense range, but in the next instant, it fled tens of miles away.

The Divine Sense of Ji Yuan at the early Golden Core Stage could cover nearly fifteen miles, yet even so, the aura still escaped in a flash.

"Something’s wrong!"

Ran Kui, being a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage himself, naturally also sensed this aura.

"What happened?"

Phoenix Peach hurriedly looked towards him.

Consecutively, several exclamations rang out from the great hall below their feet.

Ji Yuan’s ears twitched, "Another Foundation Establishment Elder has disappeared."

He acted as if he hadn’t discovered the aura.

Only Ran Kui looked toward the southeast, his expression grave as he said, "There really is... a Three-eyed Dark Beast here!"

"What?!"

Ji Yuan merely sensed the aura but didn’t know what it was.

But hearing Ran Kui say this... Feng Yichen hadn’t been lying? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"But it’s not at Tier Three yet, at most just late Stage Tier Two, otherwise it wouldn’t be avoiding us while fleeing."

"Should we chase it?"

Yun Qianzai said while lifting his Array Plate with his right hand, showing signs of readiness to fight.

Before Ran Kui could answer, a figure rose from the underground hall and landed among them.

"Brother Wu Dao, another Elder has vanished, right under our noses. It’s terrifying; did you discover anything?"

Li Yuan spoke with a fluctuating aura, looking utterly shocked.

"Brother Li, do you really not know?"

As Ran Kui spoke, the Flying Boat beneath his feet inadvertently moved slightly, naturally encircling Li Yuan among the four.

"What do you mean, Brother Wu Dao?"

Li Yuan’s expression changed, "Could it be you’re suspecting me?!"

"You... worthy?"

Yun Qianzai’s indifferent voice echoed, and he immediately made his move.

An array formed below the four, with array patterns revealing simultaneously, he utilized his full power right from the start.

With full firepower, the Concealing Breath Spell was rendered useless; thus, the aura of the Foundation Establishment Peak vanished, replaced by... a Fake Pill Cultivator!

"What?! Fake... Fake Pill?"

Li Yuan, stunned, was thinking of countering, but the array beneath him suddenly expanded.

Ji Yuan and the others were positioned at the four corners of the array, he didn’t have time to realize what type of array it was before the Trapping Array had already taken shape.

"Infuse Spiritual Qi into your feet, that fellow won’t escape."

Yun Qianzai’s voice echoed in Ji Yuan’s mind, and he complied. With his Spiritual Qi infusion, four beams of light gathered, chains shot out from the pillars, directly trapping Li Yuan within.

A Fake Pill Realm Array Master... truly terrifying.

Ran Kui didn’t even need to make a move; under Yun Qianzai’s surprise assault, the battle ended almost instantly.

Trapped in the center of the array, Li Yuan struggled continuously.

But it was all in vain.

And those cultivators from Black Dragon Island on the ground, upon sensing the fight in the air, raised their heads to watch.

The remaining Foundation Establishment Elders hesitated to ascend.

Seeing their Sect Leader trapped, they didn’t dare venture.

Ji Yuan refrained from acting, but with Divine Sense, he kept a keen watch on the Black Dragon Island cultivators below.

"An Elder is transmitting messages, most likely contacting Profound Turtle Zhenren."

Upon sensing something, Ji Yuan immediately spoke.

"No worries."

Ran Kui’s calm voice provided Ji Yuan immense reassurance; this senior brother stepped into the array center, looking at Li Yuan nearby, and slowly said:

"Brother Li, you’re a smart person; you probably know why we acted against you."

"Speak, if you’re willing, then everyone will be safe, but if you refuse, I doubt Water Dragon Sect minds Black Dragon Island switching Sect Leaders."

Upon Ran Kui approaching, Li Yuan ceased his struggles.

Facing two Fake Pill Cultivators, one of whom was an Array Master, he had no reason to escape.

"Speak, Brother Wu Dao wants me to say what?"

Trapped tightly, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Just talk about that Demon Cultivator, why imprison him beside Black Dragon Stone?"

Once he spoke, Li Yuan’s expression shifted.

"Brother Wu Dao, I assure you, the one killing isn’t that Demon Cultivator!"

...As expected!

Ji Yuan and Phoenix Peach exchanged glances, each summoning their Protective Spiritual Artifact.

"Ha, the so-called Demon Cultivator is Profound Turtle Zhenren!"

Yun Qianzai sneered.

"How... how do you know?!"

Li Yuan turned to look at Yun Qianzai’s mocking face, then seemed to realize something, "Well, I’ve heard that Daoist is from the Yun Family in Coastal City, and the Yun Family has operated in Coastal City for a thousand years, employing various methods, naturally enabling them to know some uncommon information."

"Indeed, the Demon Cultivator previously detained beside Black Dragon Stone is my Martial Uncle, and also Black Dragon Island’s Supreme Elder, Profound Turtle Zhenren."

"But why do you say the one who harmed isn’t him?"

Ran Kui asked, yet whether he believed or not was known only to himself.

Li Yuan chuckled bitterly, "Sorry, Brother Wu Dao, earlier at Water Dragon Sect, I deceived you."

"Oh?"

"The reason I’m so sure it’s not my Martial Uncle who killed is because my Martial Uncle... he has already passed away."

"What? Profound Turtle Zhenren has already died?"

Ran Kui was a bit shocked upon hearing this.

Ji Yuan was contemplative... Does this mean the Black Dragon Island affair is so straightforward?

Profound Turtle Zhenren indeed cultivated Demon Skills, but he’s already passed away.

While the creature devouring people here, Ji Yuan also spotted it earlier—a Three-eyed Dark Beast.

But why does something still feel somewhat amiss about this affair?
