Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1192: Chapter 415: The Predicament of Mei Manor

I don’t know if Mei Manor intentionally displayed their strength or did it unintentionally.

In any case, it’s the first time since Ji Yuan embarked on cultivation that he experienced such rapid speed.

There’s no exaggeration in saying it was like a fast wind and lightning.

Originally, when Ji Yuan fully activated the Chasing Lightning Cloud, he thought it was already dramatic enough.

Anyway, that was close to Nascent Soul Early Stage speed, already considered extremely dramatic among a group of Core Formation Stage cultivators.

But after experiencing Mei Manor’s speed, he realized that it was completely inadequate.

’But Mei Manor was caught by the Shang Court’s master early on to be used as a steed; it really wasn’t without reason. With this speed, it makes sense to be used as a steed, otherwise, what a waste.’

Ji Yuan contemplated secretly.

’I wonder if when I reach Nascent Soul, I can use the Star-Stepping Wheel at this speed. I think if I can fully activate it... There should be, otherwise just defeating but not killing would be troublesome.’

”Ji Xiaoyou, you must be coming to our Land of the Sea Ruins for the first time, right?”

Mei Manor seemed to ask casually with a smile.

”Exactly, I want to come when I’m chased all over the continent with nowhere to escape but to come to the Sea Ruins to seek refuge with the Manor Master.”

Words of praise cost nothing; Ji Yuan was naturally generous with them.

”You should’ve come earlier, should’ve come earlier.”

Mei Manor said cheerfully, ”By the way, have you returned to Cangluo Continent all these years?”

The two chatted about such topics for a while, giving Ji Yuan a sense of familiarity.

It’s like encountering someone from back home abroad, and then that person asks if you’ve returned home these years.

”No, I heard it’s already controlled by Shangxi’s Demon Dao, and my sect and such are gone. Going back doesn’t have much significance.”

Everyone knew each other well, so Ji Yuan didn’t hide anything.

”Have you ever thought of one day fighting your way back?”

After Mei Manor asked this, Ji Yuan turned to look at him.

... Whether I have the idea is one thing, probably Mei Manor wants to fight his way back.

He himself is from Shang Court, and it’s said Shangxi’s success is mainly because of a Holy Mother from Shang Court among those demonic cultivators.

Moreover, according to the information from Hua Yaoyue and Kong Xifeng, Mei Manor suffered quite a bit in the orthodox versus demon war.

So perhaps he really wants to fight his way back.

Having thought of this, Ji Yuan immediately looked at him.

Mei Manor didn’t hide upon seeing this but simply chuckled:

”We’ll talk when we get there, talk when we get there, there’ll be an opportunity for detailed discussion.”

Saying this, he sighed and remarked, ”Ah, it’s good to have someone from home, you can speak with more ease.”

... Haha, if it wasn’t for you, I’d be chatting easily with my old acquaintances from home now.

”...”

Above Swallow Sea Island.

An Yue looked at the gradually dissipating fog in the eastern sea and couldn’t help but turn to Granny Xuanling beside her.

”Granny, where is Hu Beizhi?”

Granny Xuanling’s eyes flickered with an earthy yellow light, her divine sense repeatedly searched that sea area, but as for the figure of a cultivator—or even the immense Tier Four Sea Beast—it had vanished without a trace.

If not for the fact that this sea area was yet to calm, and the sea surface still had towering waves,

The traces of battle remained everywhere in the sea area where battles had occurred earlier.

Granny Xuanling would have thought she had just seen and experienced an illusion realm.

”He... should have left.”

Granny Xuanling said with a hint of doubt, ”Earlier, the suddenly appearing fog should have been released by Hu Beizhi. He’s probably used a card he didn’t want us to know; after killing the Tier Four Sea Beast, he took the opportunity to leave.”

”But to be able to take away such an immense sea beast... Just how large is his storage bag?”

The Demon Slave always focused on different aspects.

”It must have been dismembered; someone who could slay a Tier Four Sea Beast wouldn’t lack a storage bag.”

This point, Granny Xuanling didn’t think much about.

An Yue thought about it and found it to be the only possibility.

Then her head slowly lowered, and her gaze landed on Swallow Sea Island.

With the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint gone, isn’t it up to oneself to find the intelligence information?

”...”

Several days later.

Extreme East Sea, Qingyou Island.

Receiving a message, Liu Yuan immediately summoned Zhenren Jinghong, Kunyu Zhenren, and Yu Guang.

A look of severity on his face as he handed out the communication talisman in his hand, ”Take a look.”

The three infiltrated the communication talisman with their divine senses, and soon, their expressions changed simultaneously.

”Publicly suppressed the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint, forced him to escape... also fought fiercely with the Tier Four Sea Beast... eventually disappeared into the fog.”

Any single piece of this information alone was enough to shock the few of them.

Let alone all this information gathered in one place, all happening to one person.

More importantly, this person was with them several days ago.

Especially Zhenren Jinghong and Kunyu Zhenren, who knew Ji Yuan long before, couldn’t conceal their shock at this moment.

”Brother Li is in danger, I must find a way to rescue him.”

Liu Yuan stated with a troubled expression.

But after speaking, he pondered briefly and added:

”But my strength is insufficient; if I go, I might just cause more trouble for him.”

This statement caused the previously shocked trio to calm down.

Zhenren Jinghong said, ”How can Brother Liu be sure that Brother Li is in danger? From this message, he should have left after slaying the Tier Four Demon Beast.”

”If he wasn’t in danger, he’d be back now, laughing with me here.”
