Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1299: Chapter 439: ”The Killer Is the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

As Ji Yuan uttered these words, the Core Formation cultivators inside the hall began transforming into Escape Light, fleeing outward.

It didn’t matter what Ji Yuan’s cultivation was, but just the fact that he could say such words, and dare to kill the Vulture Ascendant’s legitimate son in front of everyone... this incident shall not end peacefully.

Thus, the wisest choice at this moment is undoubtedly to run away first!

Ji Yuan glanced at those fleeing individuals and didn’t hesitate. With a flip of his right hand, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner enshrouded in black smoke appeared in his hand, and he effortlessly thrust it into the ground.

The Yin Souls of the Core Formation Stage, as well as the main soul of the Early-stage Nascent Soul, all flew out.

Ji Yuan swept his gaze over the three Core Formation cultivators who had been in harmony with Xue Shou, and casually said, ”Kill them.”

The group of Yin Souls lunged forward.

Only at this moment did Ji Yuan sense a slight disturbance from the depths of Vulture Peak... the Vulture Ascendant came out!

Vulture Ascendant... ran away!

When Ji Yuan sensed that Nascent Soul aura appear, and quickly flew south, he found it hard to believe.

... No, I killed your son right in front of you, and not only do you not kill me, you run away?

Is this what a father should do?!

Surprised as he was, it didn’t stop Ji Yuan from swiftly grabbing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner beside him, retracting the Nascent Soul main soul while softly calling ”Lightning Chase.”

He transformed into a flash of lightning and instantly vanished.

Fully activating Lightning Chase allowed one to achieve Early-stage Nascent Soul speed, but for Ji Yuan, the advantage lay in faster reactions, and when driven by Purple Sky Divine Thunder, it didn’t even consume his own mana.

Thus, two Nascent Soul cultivators commenced a chase in the endless sky above the wilderness.

”...”

Should the Vulture Ascendant run?

Indeed, at first he didn’t intend to flee, especially when he realized someone had killed his legitimate son before his very eyes, the only thought in his mind was to kill the person in front of him!

No!

He wanted to tear them to pieces, extract their soul, and refine their spirit!

But just as that thought passed, his Divine Sense saw this person take out a Ten Thousand Souls Banner while also emanating the unique aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This was akin to a basin of cold water being poured over him, instantly waking him up.

At this time, a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly emerges wielding a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

If it wasn’t the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner that the Black and White Divine Hall was currently searching for, then who could it be?!

This Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner had directly defeated the Duo Ghost Demon Lord in combat!

The Vulture Ascendant, having advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, had an extremely clear understanding of his own strength.

He had previously learned from the Black and White Divine Hall’s Nascent Soul cultivators that the Duo Ghost Demon Lord’s strength was profound, already near the threshold of Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

The Vulture Ascendant knew he couldn’t even defeat the Duo Ghost Demon Lord, much less the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner before him.

No, he couldn’t win, absolutely not.

Knowing this, he chose to escape without any hesitation.

As long as he headed south, if he could escape near Black and White City, even within two hundred miles of it, he could survive!

But the problem was, the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s offensive methods were so formidable, and now even the Escape Technique was equally powerful?

The Vulture Ascendant fled with all his might, only to find he was not gaining distance, but instead it was closing in... No, if this continued, he would be caught before reaching Black and White City.

”Fellow Taoist, you and I have no personal grudge, killing my legitimate son was already done, why must you pursue me relentlessly?!”

The Vulture Ascendant, helpless, could only use formal speech to ask through voice transmission.

”Heh, after I kill you, you’ll naturally understand.”

Ji Yuan responded with a cold laugh.

”You!”

The Vulture Ascendant was furious, but had no other option. He had to ask again, ”Fellow Taoist, are you the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the Desolate Ancient Continent?”

”You? You don’t even deserve to know my name!”

Ji Yuan’s response grew more arrogant.

And this seemed to completely unleash the Vulture Ascendant’s rage. As he was fleeing ahead, he suddenly turned around. In his hand, at some point, appeared a circular copper mirror, the size of a copper coin, with rust-colored patterns around the mirror’s edge. The mirror’s surface was not bright, even a bit blurry.

Yet, with such a small mirror, the moment it targeted Ji Yuan, it burst forth with a strong light.

”Hiss—”

The light cut through the air, heading straight toward Ji Yuan.

With the aura locked on him, he had no escape.

Ji Yuan, helpless, willed his heart to summon the Mountain of Mind and Heart to shield himself.

The mirror light shone upon the Mountain of Mind and Heart, causing only a slight tremor, without breaking off even a fragment or speck of dust.

But it was precisely this effect that further convinced the Vulture Ascendant that he was no match for the Master of Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Yet, he also knew that having chosen to fight meant he was now on a path of no return!

He couldn’t stop, once engaged in battle, his only option was to kill!

So when the sharp-eyed mirror in his hand didn’t work, he made a gesture with his left hand, and in his right, a three-foot long iron ruler full of green patterns appeared.

Except for a handle to grip, the rest of the iron ruler was full of scratches.

But these scratches did not damage the iron ruler; on the contrary, they added a savage aura to it.

”Release!”

With the iron ruler in hand, the Vulture Ascendant’s left hand formed a seal, while the iron ruler in his right hand pointed directly at Ji Yuan behind him.

At that moment, as Ji Yuan sensed being locked onto, three phantom shadows of the iron ruler descended over his head, forming a triangular formation around him.
