Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 662: Chapter 290: The Power of the Lifebound Magical Treasure

After all, what Ji Yuan is thinking about right now is how to escape unharmed. Once he escapes, he will gather his friends and allies, and let the Ice and Fire Elder take decisive action to completely destroy this Demon Cave.

However, due to the cautious nature of the Demon Dao, even if I reveal my identity, they are unlikely to trust me directly.

Most likely, they will try to use some method on me, like the “Bloodline Curse” from before.

Regarding that, I could use a strand of my Divine Soul to gain the other party’s trust… but that seems too much of a loss. Instead of using this move, I might as well use my scales to protect myself and act directly.

Since revealing my identity as part of the Demon Dao won’t work, I’ll have to think of other methods.

No, wait, there might be another way!

I’m a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a Lifebound Magical Treasure, how could someone without a Magical Treasure compare to me?

The more Ji Yuan thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed, not only could he remain unharmed, but he could even use this to alert the Ice and Fire Elder.

“So, have you figured it out? We don’t have much patience.”

Fire Python Zhenren said with a sinister smile.

Ji Yuan glanced at him expressionlessly… You old thief, you will eventually die by my hand!

Though he thought this in his heart, on the surface, Ji Yuan showed a look of extreme struggle, and finally, he gritted his teeth and cupped his hands towards the two people in front of him.

“In that case, I must trouble the two senior to take care of me in the future.”

Divine Eagle Master chuckled at these words, “Very well, very well!”

It seemed as if this single phrase had drained all of Ji Yuan’s strength, and he said dejectedly, “I do not know what task the seniors require of me?”

“No rush.”

Divine Eagle Master gently tapped his knee with his remaining right hand, “As I said earlier, you are a smart man. Since you are a smart man, use the methods of a smart man.”

After speaking, he took out a jade clasp from his Storage Bag.

Just like the one he had taken out earlier.

“Come, drip a drop of blood on it, and I will trust you.” Divine Eagle Master’s voice carried a hint of allure.

Ji Yuan’s already pale complexion turned deathly white in an instant, and he instinctively took a step back, “No…”

“Huh?”

Divine Eagle Master stood up angrily, but just as he was about to speak, an inexplicable wave of energy emanated from the direction of the cave entrance, as if… someone had broken in.

The two of them instinctively turned their heads to look.

But when they turned back, they found… he was gone!

The figure that was just beside them… vanished.

Just disappeared into thin air beside them, leaving only a trace of residual Spiritual Qi fluctuations, with no other movement.

And if there was truly a method to make someone disappear into thin air, the resulting Spiritual Qi fluctuations couldn’t possibly be this small, right?

Is this a magic trick to make someone disappear?

Divine Eagle Master and Fire Python Zhenren exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

“This is not good!”

“You stay here and keep watch, I’ll go out and take a look!”

After saying this, Divine Eagle Master transformed into an Escape Light, following the path Ji Yuan had taken to reach the entrance. As soon as he materialized his form, he instinctively touched the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.

Divine Eagle Master is called this because he owns an exceptionally fast Tier Three Spirit Beast, the Heavenly Flying Divine Eagle.

If the divine eagle wants to leave, unless a Nascent Soul Cultivator intervenes, even if the Ice and Fire Elder is present, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

If he didn’t possess this ability, would he dare to venture out alone?

If that Isle Master Wuyou truly escaped, and the Ice and Fire Elder really attacked, without a doubt, he would release the divine eagle and flee immediately.

As for Fire Python Zhenren… someone has to stay behind as the rear guard, right?

Divine Eagle Master understands the principle of “Better they perish than me” better than anyone.

If not for understanding this principle, he would have died many times already on this journey.

But the problem is that after careful examination for quite some time, he didn’t notice anything unusual outside… Based on the manner in which that Isle Master Wuyou escaped, he shouldn’t have run far.

Even if he managed to escape, he’d most likely be on either side of the Starfall River.

If he really were there, he should be able to detect it.

After all, the further one travels during an escape, the greater the Spiritual Qi mobilization required.

With such minuscule movements, he definitely couldn’t have gone far!

Divine Eagle Master confirmed repeatedly, but the problem is why there was no movement outside at all; could it be that the kid didn’t actually escape?

Just hiding instead?

“Brother Diao, how is it? Any movement?”

Fire Python Zhenren’s worried voice echoed in Divine Eagle Master’s mind.

Divine Eagle Master might not have a full understanding, but Fire Python Zhenren had a clear sense of the Ice and Fire Elder’s strength.

Fire Python Zhenren had no doubt that if the Ice and Fire Elder attacked him, surviving ten breaths would mean the elder was showing mercy.

“No.”

Divine Eagle Master replied truthfully.

“I suspect that kid didn’t actually escape. I just don’t know what method was used to hide. Search the surrounding area to see if you can find anything unusual and find him… kill him!”

“Alright.”

After saying this, Fire Python Zhenren carefully searched the topmost level of the Demon Cave.

He first released his Divine Sense to carefully perceive the surroundings but found nothing. Then he took several Talismans from his Storage Bag and tossed them on the ground.

The Talismans transformed into several small golden mice, quickly moving around the area. Every now and then, they would stop and sniff the air, investigating thoroughly.

The more he searched, the more deeply Fire Python Zhenren frowned.

Because he realized he couldn’t find the slightest clue.
