Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 968 - 368: Tier 3 Array Master!

It’s not so much a deception, but rather that some things truly aren’t suitable for Wenjiu to know, after all, Li Changshou’s identity is somewhat questionable, much like Hu Beizhi’s identity.Then there will surely be a life-and-death escape.

This brief demonstration is just perfect.

For safety’s sake, Ji Yuan deliberately flew eastward for a few days before turning his head and heading north.

...

That day.

Amidst the endless snowy weather, Ji Yuan as usual released his Divine Sense to travel, after all, his Divine Sense was now nearly reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, as long as he didn’t encounter a Nascent Soul Monster, no one could detect his Divine Sense.

"Huh?"

Flying north, Ji Yuan suddenly slowed down slightly because he sensed an extremely strong presence of Core Formation, coming from his east, which was fluctuating continuously.

What does this mean?

It means someone is in a life-and-death battle!

A life-and-death battle of Core Formation Cultivators!

Ji Yuan, also a Core Formation Cultivator, the first reaction upon encountering such a thing... naturally, was to run away.

But just as he was about to accelerate to leave, he saw those fighting crash into the area covered by his Divine Sense, and just at that moment, seeing clearly those three figures.

He halted his northward journey.

Among the Core Formation Cultivators fighting, there were three; a mid-stage Core Formation woman was being chased by a late-stage Core Formation man, along with another mid-stage Core Formation woman.

The reason Ji Yuan stopped was because he recognized the woman being chased...

Xing Shuang.

Ji Yuan didn’t expect to meet her here after bidding farewell in the Northwest Sand Prison last time.

And coincidentally, it happens again at the moment when she’s being chased.

Ji Yuan deliberated briefly before deciding to intervene.

The reason was simple, in his view, Xing Shuang could be considered his friend; though not necessarily the best, given her performance last time in the Secret Realm, Ji Yuan could hardly turn a blind eye to her plight.

"One mid-stage Core Formation, and one late-stage Core Formation... although Xing Shuang seems quite heavily wounded currently, temporarily holding off that mid-stage Core Formation cultivator shouldn’t be an issue. By then, I’ll deal with the late-stage Core Formation one... may as well take this opportunity to test my strength; even taking the worst case scenario, the opponent should be pushed back without a hitch."

Ji Yuan scanned with his Divine Sense, instantly making his decision in his mind.

During this brief moment, Xing Shuang had already been chased near him; sensing a mid-stage Core Formation Cultivator ahead, she voiced hesitantly:

"Dao... Daoist friend, save me, I am Xing Shuang of Lindong City’s Golden Bow, great reap will come for your help today!"

Just as Ji Yuan received Xing Shuang’s panting call for help, next, a transmission from the late-stage Core Formation man sounded in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Daoist friend, we are the ’Twin Evils’ from Kui Xing Isle, this woman stole our treasure, if unrelated, please step aside swiftly!"

Ji Yuan neither heeded Xing Shuang’s call to immediately act.

Nor listened to the words of the Twin Evils, immediately leaving; instead, he stayed in place, motionless.

Xing Shuang saw, gritted her teeth, mustered all her Mana, and suddenly accelerated her figure, in a flash, she reached Ji Yuan’s side, panting heavily, yet said nothing.

The Twin Evils behind quickly pursued.

The two stopped opposite Ji Yuan, the bald, axe-bearing man was full of Evil Qi, while the alluring woman’s figure seemed seductive, but on closer inspection, one could see a crimson snake coiled about her waist, its forked tongue flickering, extremely intimidating.

"I see Daoist friend’s face is unfamiliar..."

The bald man unabashedly sized Ji Yuan up and down, then couldn’t help but sneer, "I haven’t been back to the mainland for a long while, unexpectedly, even early-stage Core Formation dare meddle in late-stage Core Formation matters now?"

"Why discuss with him, husband? Better kill him directly to resolve it, right when my Red is... quite hungry."

The alluring woman raised her right hand, the crimson snake slithered onto her arm, its scarlet tongue licking her jade-like hand.

Xing Shuang, glancing at Ji Yuan, seeing he is unfamiliar and only at early-stage Core Formation, yet not saying a word.

Ultimately couldn’t help but transmit: "Daoist friend better flee, I... I can’t escape anymore, I’ll fight them to the end then, rest assured, I’ll make way for you to escape."

Seeing Xing Shuang facing death yet still thinking of his escape, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, choosing to transmit using his own voice:

"Miss Xing, I’ll give you a Healing Elixir in a moment; after you consume it, try your best to hold off this woman, the late-stage Core Formation old demon is mine."

Xing Shuang hearing this voice, first froze momentarily, then quickly realized it.

"Ji... Liu, Brother Liu, it’s you!"

Xing Shuang instinctively wanted to address him as Brother Ji, but the words stopped abruptly when she remembered, then hurriedly transmitted: "These two are the Twin Evils of Kui Xing Island, the late-stage Core Formation man’s named Demon Lord Duan Yue, he’s practiced a body transforming Demon Skill, physique extremely strong, Brother Liu, please be careful, mustn’t let him get close!"

"Oh?"

Ji Yuan felt intrigued hearing this.

Demon Lord Duan Yue across, seeing Ji Yuan long unheard, guessed they were transmitting.

"Heh, looks like Daoist friend is erring then!"

Demon Lord Duan Yue stepped forward, wielding the giant axe with one hand, suddenly cleaving towards Ji Yuan.

In an instant, between heaven and earth, a massive axe shadow appeared, cleaving down from the sky!
