Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1081 391: Ji Yuan the Array Breaker, Brothers Reunited!
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
"Calculating like this, the merit points given for killing a Yin Ghost are the same as for killing a rotten corpse in the Poisonous Miasma Swamp. Quite a lot is given, but for someone who has killed a Core Formation cultivator and experienced the influx of a large number of merit points, these points are just too few..."
For example, Ji Yuan himself.
In short, going from frugality to extravagance is easy, but going from extravagance to frugality is difficult.
Like now, even if he slays a Peak Core Formation Yin Ghost, it only yields 12 merit points.
But what if he could slay a Peak Core Formation cultivator?
Like when Ji Yuan killed Mo Tusheng earlier.
He instantly received 2500 merit points, which is incomparable!
Ji Yuan felt that he couldn't accept such a disparity.
So after recognizing the situation, he immediately withdrew from the crowd.
From afar, Mu Xueyao saw this and quickly flew to his side. She looked worried and said, "Brother Ji, what should we do now? Should we escape to the Outer Realm first?"
"No need."
Ji Yuan's gaze coldly swept across the Core Formation cultivators present; he wasn't inclined to conduct a sneak attack openly.
This would harm the Dao heart.
But whenever he saw a cultivator unable to hold on, about to suffer a final blow from the Yin Ghost... he nonetheless would kindly intervene, helping the person to leave gracefully and swiftly.
So as not to suffer even when at death's door.
Moreover, after killing someone, if the opportunity was right, he would also thoughtfully help avenge the person.
Slaughtering the Yin Ghost along with it.
Beside him, Mu Xueyao was quite intuitive in helping collect the other's Storage Bag and the immortal materials transformed after death.
From afar, some people saw Ji Yuan mingling with a sinner... surprisingly felt it made perfect sense.
If Old Demon Ji doesn't stay with sinners, how could he be called an old demon?
Soon, Ji Yuan's despicable actions attracted the attention of the well-intentioned.
"Not good, this Old Demon Ji is killing people!"
With one remark, the nearby Core Formation cultivators scattered even faster.
In the crowd, someone shouted again:
"Lure these Yin Ghosts to another array hub, let them help us resist together; otherwise, no one will survive."
... this tactic truly embodies the saying, sacrificing fellow cultivators while saving oneself!
Ji Yuan's powerful Divine Sense instantly locked onto the speaker.
Only to see him wearing the attire of Profound Snake Mansion... with such a bad reputation, Profound Snake Mansion certainly deserved it.
'It seems that if I want to involve in wrongful deeds, perhaps I could disguise myself in the attire of Profound Snake Mansion.'
Ji Yuan pondered secretly.
However, the words of the Profound Snake Mansion cultivator inadvertently illuminated a path for others.
Without needing further prompts, they each flew towards the east, west, and north directions.
Evidently heading to deliver gifts to their familiar Dao friends.
Once they ran, Ji Yuan did not pursue further, while from afar Lv Bozhong and Shen Yilan, along with their groups, also fled, not lingering by this ghost lair.
Watching this, Ji Yuan suddenly had an idea.
He released the Cloud Palace Sword through heart thought, directing it to pierce the three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts.
Immediately, the three Yin Ghosts came charging at Ji Yuan.
Beside him, Mu Xueyao was startled, instinctively assuming Ji Yuan was about to take on a three-headed battle.
"Let's go, let's also deliver a gift to my dear Dao friend."
Ji Yuan's slightly amused voice echoed in Mu Xueyao's Divine Sense Sea.
Soon after, Ji Yuan's figure flickered to her back, reaching out to clasp her slender waist.
For Mu Xueyao, it was her first time witnessing Ji Yuan's gesture, inevitably tensing her body instinctively.
"Chasing—Lightning—"
Ji Yuan's gentle voice whispered in her ear.
With a "crack," Mu Xueyao found herself dozens of miles away.
"This..."
What kind of speed was this?
Mu Xueyao instinctively glanced down at the dark cloud beneath her feet.
Ji Yuan waited a breath's time here, seeing the three Peak Core Formation Yin Ghosts catch up, then activated the Chasing Lightning Cloud for the second time.
Thus recurring in cycles, advancing eight times in total.
Ji Yuan then returned from near Nanyue Tower back to near East Peak Tower.
He hadn't forgotten, he had a good brother called Ma Gui waiting here for him!
The old enmity, Ji Yuan could not afford to forget even for a moment. Today, having this rare opportunity, how could he let it go?
"Brother Ji, who are you going to kill!"
Just arriving nearby, Mu Xueyao saw Ji Yuan's intent, promptly asked.
"Bone Nightmare Sect—Ma Gui."
Ji Yuan maintained his indifferent, relaxed demeanor.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Without thinking, Mu Xueyao immediately said.
"No need for such trouble."
After a flash of lightning, Ji Yuan embraced Mu Xueyao, appearing near East Peak Tower.
Their sudden appearance immediately caught the crowd's attention.
Including Ma Gui.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan's face, without the slightest hesitation, swiftly turned around.
Yet at the moment he turned, a golden robe appeared on his body.
In his hand, he held a Golden Ghost Order.
He seemed to have prepared for this escape all along. As soon as he took out the Golden Ghost Order, two portals appeared before him; he dashed through the right portal, vanishing from sight.
Ji Yuan: "..."
Turns out he's a two-faced schemer too?
Ji Yuan couldn't help but recall the previous advice given before entering Rashamon Sea, by Bone Nightmare Old Demon... suggesting Ji Yuan, Ma Gui, and Yin Bone Master all choose to become rogue cultivators.
In the end, all three entered, choosing unhesitatingly to become disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.
Only by first becoming disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect, could they have the chance to be double agents.
'Tsk, Bone Nightmare Old Demon, it seems you as a Sect Leader, have really been quite a failure.'
Ma Gui ran fast, making it difficult for Ji Yuan to pursue, while he contemplated whether to break the array hub before him... suddenly a voice brimming with excitement rang from behind.
"Lao Ji, I... I'm back!"
