Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 650: Chapter 286: My Purple Eyes Are Gone

Li Changhe clicked his tongue in admiration: “Junior Brother Ji, you’d never guess his identity.”

“What?”

Ji Yuan was already puzzled about Huang Richeng’s identity, and now with Li Changhe adding to it, he became even more curious.

“When you were on Ice and Fire Island, weren’t you pretending to be my father’s illegitimate son, acting like my good old brother?”

“No, I’m asking about Huang Richeng, why are you saying this?”

“Heh, your being an illegitimate son was a disguise, but Huang Richeng being an illegitimate son is real.” Li Changhe was speaking telepathically, but he still couldn’t resist winking at Ji Yuan.

“Are you saying… the Third Elder?!”

Ji Yuan’s eyes unconsciously widened.

The Water Dragon Sect had two Nascent Soul families, one being the Li Family, the other the Huang Family, where the Third Elder, Master Xuanxiao, resided.

Huang Richeng had connections with the Third Elder, both of them sharing the surname Huang. At the time, Li Changhe said Huang Richeng helped the Third Elder, so Ji Yuan didn’t think much of it.

Now that it was said Huang Richeng was the Third Elder’s illegitimate son, it made sense.

If it weren’t for such a close relationship, how could Huang Richeng establish himself in the Alchemy Square and be so arrogant?

“Right, you wouldn’t have guessed, would you? It’s said to be a romantic debt left when the Third Elder was once drunk, fathering him with a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator. Later, that Female Cultivator caused a scene at the Huang Family but was suppressed by the Third Elder.”

“In the end, that woman somehow died, leaving only Huang Richeng, who was raised in a big city, brought up as a playboy, hence developing such a character.”

After Li Changhe finished, Ji Yuan finally understood.

Playboy… which major family hasn’t produced some?

As long as the family’s power grew strong, it was inevitable that some hedonists would emerge among the younger generation.

Many families have even perished at the hands of such playboys in the end.

“If we kill him now, will there be any problem?”

Ji Yuan thought if they hit the young ones and the elders came out, then he’d have to call out the old ones too.

“No problem, not to mention Ice and Fire Elder is taking the fall for us. Even if he wasn’t, our Li Family could handle it. After all, the Third Elder has so many sons, one illegitimate son wouldn’t matter, especially since it’s said that Huang Richeng has caused quite a bit of trouble for the Third Elder over the years.”

Li Changhe finished speaking and shook his head.

“The grand structure is collapsing, these are all minor matters now.”

…The grand structure is collapsing.

Ji Yuan seemed to feel something, he looked up at the Shang Mountain Range towering in the west.

“You’ll find out later.”

Li Changhe said, patting Ji Yuan’s shoulder before walking away briskly.

The three of them then arrived at the only great hall within the Alchemy Square. Usually, it was only Fire Python Zhenren and Miao Yao Zhenren who would gather numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators here to assign tasks.

But today, only the Ice and Fire Elder was seated high in the hall, the others… even Miao Yao Zhenren stood below, and the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators received orders, rushing from various parts of the Alchemy Square to pay respects to their new “supervisor.”

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Ice and Fire Elder looked at Miao Yao Zhenren again, squinting with a smile: “Would you like to come up here, fellow Daoist?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat beside him.

Miao Yao Zhenren waved his hand repeatedly.

“Brother Ice and Fire is too kind, I’m fine standing here below.”

“Hmm, then send a message to Shang Mountain to say that Fire Python Zhenren has been driven away by me, and to assign a new Golden Core Zhenren here.”

Ice and Fire Elder ordered bluntly.

“Yes.”

Miao Yao Zhenren, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly bowed and left.

As soon as he left, Ice and Fire Zhenren looked at the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, continuing with a squinty smile: “I know, you are all Immortal Sect disciples of the Six Sects, and I, just a down-and-out Loose Cultivator, it’s normal that you look down on me.”

For a Loose Cultivator capable of rivaling the peak of Golden Core to say this, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were already trembling with fear.

Finally, a Peak of Foundation Establishment male cultivator from the Medicine King Valley stepped forward, bowing slightly: “Senior said…”

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him, making it hard to breathe, his back instantly drenched with cold sweat, only then did Ice and Fire Elder’s gaze land on him.

“Hasn’t anyone taught you that juniors shouldn’t interrupt when seniors are speaking?”

“Yes… yes, yes, yes.”

Bead-sized sweat rolled down his forehead, and he quickly retreated into the crowd, no longer daring to look up.

“I also know, among you, many are outstanding disciples of the Golden Core, you all more or less have some connections, I can’t be bothered to manage them. In short, I have one thing to say.”

“As long as I’m in this Alchemy Square on Wangcheng Mountain, there should only be one voice here, mine. If you’re willing to listen, stay now, if not, leave now. If you don’t leave now and later act against me behind my back… then I won’t show mercy…”

Ice and Fire Elder’s ominous gaze swept over everyone present, including Ji Yuan and Li Changhe.

“By then, I will kill you… Of course, if before you die, you can call your master from behind you, then I can send your master down to meet you too.”

Truly, for most Golden Core Zhenren, strong individuals like Jade Scroll Ice and Fire Elder indeed only have the option of death and cessation of the Dao.

Seeing Ice and Fire Elder’s tyrannical actions, intuition told Ji Yuan… this senior’s arrival at the Alchemy Square might not be as simple as Li Changhe inviting him here.
