Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 505: Chapter 239: Righteous Path Cultivators!

The Old Demon Qu spoke with a hint of soberness.

Ji Yuan nodded quickly, ”Definitely, definitely.”

”Heh heh.”

Now it was the Old Demon Qu’s turn to laugh lightly.

Fortunately, after laughing, he drove a white light and left the place.

Ji Yuan waited silently for three seconds, then his figure suddenly vanished, and when he reappeared, he had arrived at Qingfeng Island.

However, this time he didn’t meet Wen Linger, but instead the Supreme Elder of the Water Dragon Sect, Kong Xifeng.

The first thing she said upon seeing Ji Yuan was...

”Did you really join the Shang Court?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan’s heart finally settled slightly.

Even Kong Xifeng suspected he might have joined the Shang Court, let alone those outsiders unaware of the situation.

”Does the Supreme Elder think a junior like me would need to use a Fixed-point Teleportation Order to escape if I really joined the Shang Court?” Ji Yuan smiled wryly.

”True.”

Kong Xifeng nodded as she listened to Ji Yuan’s words.

”Then about what you said earlier to the Old Demon Qu...” She paced back and forth in front of Ji Yuan before speaking slowly, ”You’re gambling.”

Ji Yuan fell silent.

Because part of what Kong Xifeng said is true, but it’s certainly not something he can admit now. So, Ji Yuan insisted, ”The junior just wanted to see if there were any benefits to be gained from the Old Demon Qu related to the Shang Court.”

”Heh, with Foundation Establishment cultivation, you dare to seek benefits from a Nascent Soul cultivator. I don’t know whether to call you brave or reckless.” Kong Xifeng sneered.

Ji Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, undisturbed by Kong Xifeng’s taunts. He simply responded calmly:

”When there is no other path to choose, you must pave one for yourself.”

Kong Xifeng turned sharply to look at him, staring for a long time before saying, ”That’s because your mentor is backing you up.”

”The Supreme Elder is quite right,” Ji Yuan did not deny it.

Arguing with a Nascent Soul cultivator is meaningless.

”You may go.”

Kong Xifeng waved her hand impatiently.

In the Water Dragon Sect, there’s a new Nascent Soul cultivator, but she can’t grasp it or control it. This feeling displeases her, and consequently, she dislikes Ji Yuan.

”Junior takes his leave,” Ji Yuan naturally noticed Kong Xifeng’s attitude towards him, so he didn’t inquire about Wen Linger’s situation and immediately turned to leave Qingfeng Island.

Once outside, he rode the Wind Willow Flying Boat straight to Wan You Island.

’The reason Kong Xifeng dislikes me is likely related to my mentor or Wen Linger, but that’s normal. After all, I’m not a Spirit Stone. How could I be liked by everyone?’

Half a day later.

Ji Yuan once again landed on Wan You Island.

Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai had been waiting there for a long time, and both their faces looked grim... Uncertain of what had happened earlier, Ji Yuan stepped forward, saluted Hua Yaoyue, and then transmitted a message:

”Mentor, I seem to have joined... the Shang Court.”

This statement paused Hua Yaoyue’s initial anger, and she couldn’t help but cast a sidelong glance at him before transmitting, ”We’ll talk later.”

Although the transmission conveyed this, Hua Yaoyue said aloud:

”Your senior brother and sister both want to guard Shang Mountain, so you explain.”

Hua Yaoyue spoke with an extremely calm tone.

Yet beneath her calm tone, Ji Yuan could sense her anger... She cares not only for her closed-door disciple but also for her other disciples.

This was something Ji Yuan noticed long ago.

Now the situation is that despite the danger on Shang Mountain, both Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai want to go.

How could Hua Yaoyue feel?

To put it plainly, are you both anxious to go to your death!

As the junior brother, Ji Yuan first saluted Yun Qianzai and Hua Yaoyue before asking, ”Both Senior Brother and Sister want to go to Shang Mountain?”

The white-clad Yun Qianzai, with hands behind, slightly raised his head and said, ”With the impending invasion of the Demon Dao, we righteous cultivators must do our duty.”

”After all...”

”Standing at the pinnacle of immortality, challenging the world, first there was Tian Shu, and then there was Heaven!”

...Alright, I know you want to show off at Shang Mountain.

As much as he said, Ji Yuan understands Yun Qianzai’s inner thoughts—the usual showboating within the sect was always for himself, but at Shang Mountain?

It’s for all righteous cultivators on Cangluo Continent!

It’s not about himself, but for all righteous cultivators in the world!

For someone like Yun Qianzai, the satisfaction stemming from the former versus the latter is vastly different.

So his desire to go was within Ji Yuan’s expectations.

However... Ji Yuan looked towards Phoenix Peach.

”Sister, why do you want to go?”

Phoenix Peach slightly lowered her head and spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, ”I also want to contribute to the righteous path.”

After saying that, she suddenly raised her head, ”Everyone knows Shang Mountain can’t be defended this time, but still, people will guard it, and so will I.”

”Go, all go!”

Hua Yaoyue impatiently waved her hand and then got up from her soft chair, ”What are you lingering here for? Hurry up and go!”

”Mentor, I...”

Phoenix Peach stepped forward, intending to say something, but Ji Yuan had already given her a look.

At the moment, Hua Yaoyue was already on edge, and she wouldn’t heed such words.

No matter what Phoenix Peach wants, it will have to wait.

Yun Qianzai was determined to go, so he had nothing more to say, just deeply saluted Hua Yaoyue.
