Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 291: Chapter 169: Hua Yaoyue: “Come Back and See Me.

These two Golden Core Zhenren’s disciples were placed here.

Not only that, they also deliberately chose a strong and ambitious Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Wu Nanchun, to serve as the City Lord, to ease the burden on Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan.

Everything seemed perfect.

Master Xuan Shui sometimes recalls and feels how well-arranged this plan was.

But who could have thought that Demon Cultivators would actually attack this city?!

Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan both sent messages asking for help, and when Master Xuan Shui received those two messages… honestly, he panicked a bit.

If these two disciples were truly lost.

Certainly, it wouldn’t be a major issue for him.

His position as Sect Leader would remain secure.

But facing Great Elder Cloud Abyss and Master Wang You, he would have a hard time explaining.

So after receiving the message, he rushed to Lishui City.

Under such unfortunate circumstances, these two disciples were fortunately unharmed.

Given this…

“How rampant these demon thieves have become! Rest assured, dear nephews, I, Master Xuan Shui, will surely give you and all the cultivators of Lishui City an explanation!”

Master Xuan Shui’s stern reprimand echoed throughout Lishui City.

With this, those cultivators inside the city, who were repeatedly in fear, immediately calmed down.

To them, if a Golden Core Zhenren is willing to make them a promise, what more could they ask for?

It’s unlikely they would actually approach him for compensation for their losses.

Moreover, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Water Dragon Sect acted promptly, so the majority of the cultivators inside the city did not suffer any losses.

Even if there were losses, it mostly involved some so-called righteous loose cultivators who seized the chaos for profit.

Once his words calmed the city, Master Xuan Shui then looked at Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan before him and asked, “What exactly happened here, and where is Wu Nanchun? Why isn’t she here?”

Master Xuan Shui subconsciously thought she was gone.

But at this moment, a flying boat suddenly approached from the south.

Before Ji Yuan could look up, Master Xuan Shui was already in motion.

He transformed into a streak of light, leaving and returning within a breath.

When he returned, another figure had appeared beside Ji Yuan.

Her magic robe was tattered, blood flowed from her seven orifices, and even the flying boat beneath her feet was heavily damaged.

Her aura was extremely weak.

Yet when she saw the person in front of her, she struggled to hold herself up, casually waved her hand, and a corpse appeared on the ground.

Master Xuan Shui glanced and saw it was the body of Isle Master Qing Han.

“Report… reporting to the Sect Leader, disciple… disciple successfully completed the mission, killed the traitor within the sect.”

After speaking, she closed her eyes, her body plummeting down.

With Master Xuan Shui present, it was difficult for her to fall.

After enveloping her body with spiritual qi, Master Xuan Shui raised his hand and fed her a healing elixir, then placed her on the flying boat.

As the Sect Leader of the Water Dragon Sect, Master Xuan Shui could easily surmise the situation.

He was aware of Isle Master Qing Han’s defection to the Demon Sect.

Given the recent events in Lishui City… it’s most likely a ploy by Isle Master Qing Han to draw attention away.

If Wu Nanchun hadn’t achieved anything, she would surely face consequences upon her return.

But now she had successfully killed Isle Master Qing Han.

This changed everything, as she had now become a hero within the sect.

Three more flying boats came from the north, finally landing behind Master Xuan Shui.

Ji Yuan first saw a tall and remarkably built woman.

Of course, Ji Yuan’s attention wasn’t due to her exposed long, white legs.

It was because of the giant sword on her back.

Calling it a sword seemed odd, as the giant sword was about the size of a door panel.

This already tall female cultivator appeared somewhat petite in contrast to the giant sword.

As for her aura, Ji Yuan couldn’t discern it.

He estimated that she was likely at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, or perhaps at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

The other two male cultivators appeared rather unremarkable.

Ji Yuan didn’t recognize them either.

“Senior Sister Rou.”

As soon as the female cultivator arrived, Liu Yuan hurriedly greeted her.

“Hmm, as long as you’re safe. Master sent me to check on you.”

The female cultivator addressed as Senior Sister Rou scrutinized Liu Yuan. Despite knowing Liu Yuan was severely injured, in her eyes, he seemed fine.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan could somewhat guess.

This female cultivator was likely a direct disciple of Great Elder Cloud Abyss Zhenren, which would make her Liu Yuan’s senior sister by bloodline.

“Alright, I’ll leave this place to you three. First, stabilize Lishui City before anything else.”

Master Xuan Shui said in a deep voice, “I will take these individuals back to the sect for healing. The matters concerning the Demon Dao, I will handle personally.”

“Yes.”

The three who came later respectfully complied with a hand gesture.

After speaking, Master Xuan Shui waved his large hand, transforming with Ji Yuan and the others into escape light, heading north.

During the journey, he naturally inquired about what exactly transpired here.

Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan honestly recounted the events, not daring to withhold anything.

After hearing their story, Master Xuan Shui acknowledged with an “Hm,” and didn’t comment further on the matter.

He instead remarked, “You two have performed commendably. In just half a stick of incense time, you managed to eliminate these demon cultivators, especially you, Ji Yuan… truly worthy of being Master Wang You’s outstanding disciple.”

Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan exchanged a glance.

In the end, Liu Yuan said, “The demon cultivators have been here for some time. We sent the message to Sect Leader Martial Uncle three sticks of incense ago.”

“What?!”

Master Xuan Shui’s body halted immediately.

The group hung suspended in mid-air.
