Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1025 - 380: Encounter; Young Friend [Requesting Monthly Ticket]

The circular ring lit up, revealing that the original five points of light had become three.

The other two had turned into dim black dots.

Judging by their positions, those five points of light weren’t far from his current location.

"This is..."

Qi Xiu was witnessing this scene for the first time.

Though he roughly guessed what had happened, he was hesitant to believe it and spoke up.

"These are the positions of my team members. As of now, it seems that two... three... four of them have died!"

Ji Yuan was talking when he noticed the remaining three white points were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, only one white point remained, frantically fleeing at an incredible pace, heading right in the direction where Ji Yuan and the others were located!

"Damn it, dying so fiercely?!"

Qi Xiu, witnessing this scene firsthand, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

"Mm!"

Ji Yuan also sensed something was amiss.

He guessed that the two who died first might be the two women from the Black and White Divine Hall. Now there’s only one Loose Cultivator man left.

Just as Ji Yuan’s thought fell, he discovered that the remaining "team member" had entered his range of Divine Sense.

It was the oldest one among the three men.

His speed was incredibly fast, and he soon used his Divine Sense to detect Ji Yuan and Qi Xiu.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately changed his direction and transmitted a message, shouting:

"Steward, sir, save my life!"

The old man is already Late-stage Core Formation, but he still shouted loudly despite facing Ji Yuan, who is currently Early-stage Core Formation.

Just this fact alone was enough to show he’s not ordinary.

... When we parted earlier, I remember he was still Mid-stage Core Formation.

It’s only been a few days, and he’s broken through to Late-stage Core Formation?

I was Mid-stage Core Formation earlier, and now I’m Early-stage Core Formation; he didn’t even show the slightest surprise.

"He’s coming!"

Qi Xiu spoke while summoning his blood-colored Flying Saber, aiming at the direction the old man was coming from.

As for who exactly he was guarding against, it’s still unknown.

With no spirit ghosts obstructing him over the distance of dozens of miles, the Late-stage Core Formation old man took just two breaths to fly over.

He flashed his figure, landing in front of Ji Yuan, gasping heavily.

"Sir, save... save me!"

"Who killed your teammates?"

They were all disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect, so whoever killed them so fiercely must be a powerful Loose Cultivator!

The old man straightened his back slightly, a trace of fear appearing on his face.

"The first below Nascent Soul... Xun Tianji."

"What, it’s actually him?!"

Qi Xiu’s expression changed upon hearing this name.

People’s names cast shadows.

Xun Tianji’s status as the first below Nascent Soul didn’t come by chance; he fought for it himself!

"Damn it, why is he here!"

Qi Xiu appeared somewhat panicked, making Ji Yuan wonder if he had some connection with Xun Tianji, like encountering him previously in battle.

"What, Brother Qi can’t defeat him?"

Ji Yuan asked as if carrying a hint of politeness.

"Heh, his father is the Extreme Demon Monarch; who can defeat him?" Qi Xiu’s face revealed a mocking smile.

"Extreme Demon Monarch? Is he still alive?!"

Just escaping with his life, the old man asked in shock.

... Extreme Demon Monarch, Ji Yuan had heard of this name before.

But it was only from historical books, acknowledging that he was once recognized as the "first of the Demon Dao."

His cultivation was said to have reached Late-stage Nascent Soul, while others claimed it peaked at Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

However, no one doubted his status as the strongest in the Demon Dao.

It’s like now, where legends state there is a Late-stage Nascent Soul patriarch in Celestial Killer Mountain, though most don’t believe it.

This individual eventually attracted the combined assault of the Black and White Dual Fiends.

The reasons behind this are also various, with some saying the Black and White Dual Fiends feared the Extreme Demon Monarch’s increasing strength threatening their status.

Others claimed they coveted some treasure on him and aimed to kill and seize it.

In the end, the Black and White Dual Fiends attacked and slew the Extreme Demon Monarch.

"No, Brother Qi spoke wrongly. The Extreme Demon Monarch is not my father; she is my mother."

A voice suddenly appeared around the three.

The next moment, a purple drop fell and exploded with a "bang," transforming into a handsome man in a purple robe.

Ji Yuan calmly took half a step back, simultaneously forming a sword hand with his right hand, promptly mobilizing the five Flying Swords within his Dantian... still the Mother Sword.

The Electricity of Pursuit is there, so is the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Whether to fight or flee, it didn’t seem to be an issue.

"Xun—Tian—ji—"

Qi Xiu spoke word by word, gritting his teeth.

Just based on this display, Ji Yuan could conclude they must have known each other earlier.

There’s a likelihood they even exchanged blows!

The old man immediately said, "Daoist Xun, I just explained, I am a Loose Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Mountains, truly not a disciple of the Black and White Divine Hall, my steward can vouch for this; I’m not a disciple of the Black and White Divine Hall like him."

Ji Yuan had confessed to being a disciple of the Black and White Divine Hall in front of the old man earlier.

Since he’s saying this now... Ji Yuan quickly realized it must be Xun Tianji killing the Black and White Divine Hall members!

Xun Tianji listened to this and glanced at the old man, then at Ji Yuan.

But upon seeing the magic robe Ji Yuan was wearing and sensing the aura on him, he took a few more looks.
