Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 440: Chapter 219: It’s Actually Her!!

”Celestial Silkworm, do you truly believe this is the tomb of that True Monarch of the Fox Clan from back in the day?”

Jiang Hong lay atop the dragon throne, idly toying with two walnuts glowing with spiritual light, and asked in a bored tone.

Originally standing behind him, Celestial Silkworm Zhenren heard this and came forward, giving a slight bow as he said, ”Without a doubt, the tomb on Qingyi Mountain is just a façade. Although the treasures of the Fox Clan are there, drawing endless covetous eyes over the years, the body of the True Monarch is not there. It’s actually buried here.”

”This piece of information came from the White Bone Demon Monarch.”

”Celestial Silkworm, do you think I can seize this opportunity?”

Jiang Hong asked once more.

Celestial Silkworm Zhenren continued, ”Opportunities are a matter of destiny. And you, young master... are the destined one.”

Jiang Hong was amused by this, unable to resist sitting up and, looking at him with a smile, said, ”Celestial Silkworm, no wonder my mother once chose to have you accompany me. Your words have indeed provided me much joy along the way.”

Celestial Silkworm Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled.

”I merely have a habit of speaking the truth.”

Jiang Hong laughed heartily at this.

”In that case, I shall go to the Wei Family once more and endeavor to take them down soon.”

”Go, go. Without the Tomb Guardian’s key, the True Monarch’s tomb cannot be opened.”

Celestial Silkworm Zhenren smiled, ”This is only the first step.”

”Isn’t the second step already within our grasp?”

Jiang Hong spread his hands, smiling as he said.

”None are as wise as the young master.” Celestial Silkworm Zhenren bowed again and said, ”I shall take my leave then.”

”Go, go.”

Jiang Hong waved his hand dismissively.

To him, everything was under control.

”...”

”What’s that?”

On the way back, Ji Yuan saw an Escape Light moving from west to east, realizing it was Celestial Silkworm Zhenren setting off, likely to further target the Wei Family.

”It seems the young master does not wish to wait any longer and plans to take decisive action.”

Feng Xiuxiu glanced up and understood.

”Let’s hurry back as well, seizing the time to recover, for the battle to annihilate the Wei Family will be upon us soon.”

”We must perform well, striving to achieve great merit in this battle.”

Hu Li said quickly.

”Hmm.”

Immediately, the previously leisurely group of four quickened their pace, transforming into four streaks of black light, directly heading towards the stone mountain in the west.

After a while, Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion.

There was nothing much to recover; he was just contemplating whether he could find the Blood River after Jiang Hong destroyed the Wei Family.

Once the Blood River was found, it shouldn’t be difficult to seize the opportunity to forge a sword embryo.

In any case, Ji Yuan had no intention of exerting any effort; he planned to take things easy and also look for an opportunity to deal with Hu Li.

As for the Wei Family’s counterattack against Jiang Hong, Ji Yuan hadn’t considered it at all. With a Golden Core Zhenren present, it would be impressive if the Wei Family could hold out for four or five days, assuming they had a deep foundation.

But who was that woman controlling the Tier Three Demon Beast, willing to live and die with the Wei Family?

While Ji Yuan pondered, a Communication Talisman in his Storage Bag trembled slightly. He took it out.

Hu Li.

”Elder, are you free? I have come to speak with you.”

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and, without replying through the talisman, went directly to Hu Li’s Cave Mansion.

”What’s the matter?”

Upon arrival, Ji Yuan casually sprawled on the soft chair.

Hu Li stood respectfully beside him, ”Elder, I just received word that the young master no longer wishes to wait. He intends to take down the Wei Family directly this time.”

”Thousands of days of raising soldiers for one moment of warfare, we shall strike with full force.”

Ji Yuan looked at him, half-smiling.

However, instead of looking relaxed, Hu Li’s face was somber.

”This matter... Elder, you may not know as you’ve only just arrived, but I feel something isn’t quite right.”

”Oh? How so?”

Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow, maintaining an indifferent posture, seemingly unconcerned, though he was now fully alert inwardly.

Even someone like him, who had only been here a few days, sensed something amiss, let alone Hu Li, who had spent several months here.

”The young master claims to be here for cultivation. If that’s the case, why eradicate everyone here? That’s one point.”

”Secondly, Elder, you might not know, but the young master never intended to give the Wei Family a chance. Outwardly, the story is that the Wei Family insisted on staying with their homeland, refusing to leave. But the truth is, as soon as we arrived, Celestial Silkworm Zhenren had already set up an Array, intending to annihilate everyone in the Wei Family.”

”The third point concerns the location choice. Initially, we considered several places, but each time Celestial Silkworm Zhenren claimed it wasn’t right until he finally settled on this location.”

Hu Li explained truthfully, his words sincere.

After hearing this, Ji Yuan’s expression didn’t change; he simply asked, ”Is there anything else?”

These three points, only the second surprised Ji Yuan; the others were expected.

”No, that’s all.”

Hu Wei lowered his head.

Ji Yuan stood up, ”Then never mind, you can just wait here to die.”

”No, no, please.”

Hu Li quickly grabbed Ji Yuan’s sleeve, ”There’s more, but I am unsure, so I dared not say.”

Ji Yuan paused, glancing at Hu Li’s hand clutching his sleeve.

The latter immediately let go, and then communicated, ”It’s like this, recently when I visited the young master, I overheard him and Celestial Silkworm Zhenren discussing something, and I caught the words ’tomb.’”

”Tomb?”
