Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 598 - 269: Connecting to Jiyuan Continent

"Alright, you take the lead, second brother."

Ran Kui said casually.

Yun Qianzai’s figure trembled slightly, and then he spoke blandly, "Let’s wait until I dismantle this Black Dragon Stone first."

"Hehe."

Though the four were speaking, they never let down their guard.

"Senior Brother, did Li Yuan mention where Profound Turtle Zhenren is secluded?" Ji Yuan asked Ran Kui through sound transmission when he saw them stop speaking.

"Why, do you also suspect the Demon Cultivator behind the scenes is Profound Turtle Zhenren?"

Ran Kui countered.

"Better to be cautious."

Ji Yuan didn’t directly claim he suspected Profound Turtle Zhenren, as he was equally suspicious... of everyone.

"I don’t know."

Ran Kui shook his head slowly, "As I came over, my Divine Sense swept through every place, but I didn’t find any trace of Profound Turtle Zhenren."

"He probably isn’t on this island; otherwise, if a Golden Core early-stage cultivator was secluded, I would notice some clues."

"That’s probably the case then."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, there was finally some movement on Yun Qianzai’s side, only to see him taking out eight rusty copper ingots from his Storage Bag.

The Array Plate he held in his left hand was spinning rapidly, with array patterns appearing on it. He frowned slightly, chanting under his breath as patterns appeared and disappeared.

Only after more than ten breaths did one pattern remain.

After flying out from his Array Plate, it finally landed on the northwest corner of the stone wall.

"Go!"

Yun Qianzai shouted softly, and a copper nail in his hand flew up, carrying a hint of blue light, and nailed it into the place where the pattern disappeared.

With just this action, Ji Yuan felt a slight tremor rise from the ground.

"It can be dismantled, not too difficult."

Yun Qianzai spoke casually, but judging by his heavy expression, dismantling this Black Dragon Stone intact might not be so simple.

Luckily, with Ran Kui and the others acting as Guardians, no one disturbed.

Time passed as quickly as a fragrance burn.

When Yun Qianzai found the sixth node and nailed down the sixth copper ingot, he already started sweating heavily, and Ji Yuan and the others couldn’t help even if they wanted to, so they had to wait silently.

Fortunately, Yun Qianzai was indeed Yun Qianzai, and he gritted his teeth and persevered in the end.

When he nailed the eighth copper ingot down, there came a muffled sound from below, and at the same time, Yun Qianzai coughed up blood, taking out two Exorcism Talismans with each hand.

Ji Yuan also felt a strong surge of resentment erupting from the ground.

"Cut off the earth veins, causing a backlash, just suppress it!"

Yun Qianzai finished speaking and threw the two Talismans he held out, accompanied by a flash of flame, the resentment within the stone chamber instantly dissipated significantly.

"I’ll handle it."

Ran Kui stepped forward, pulling up the Great Halberd inserted in the ground with his right hand, while his left hand reached to his waist to retrieve a damaged Ghost Head Saber.

He tossed it, and this Ghost Head Saber then hovered above the Black Dragon Stone, rotating slowly.

Bit by bit, tangible Blood Qi emanated from it.

This thing, was initially experienced from the Blood Remnant Saber, and then at the Blood River of the Ancient Battlefield... As for that touch of Dragon Fortune over Li Hua River, it was mostly resentment.

And now, the murderous aura contained within Ran Kui’s Ghost Head Saber was far stronger than the Blood Remnant Saber, but weaker than the Blood River.

Previously by the Blood River, Ji Yuan couldn’t withstand that murderous aura at all, and ultimately it was Dong Qian who helped him, giving him the chance to condense the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Thus, Ji Yuan also had a Flying Sword with heavy murderous aura.

But looking at the current situation, it seems there’s no need for him to use the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Because after Ran Kui took out this Ghost Head Saber, the heavy murderous aura suppressed all resentment, and he stepped beside the Black Dragon Stone, wiping it swiftly with his right hand, and immediately put away the treasure.

Seeing this, Yun Qianzai hurriedly turned around.

Even without looking, Ji Yuan knew he must be taking Elixir.

So he very kindly tossed over a Qi Blood Pill, "Second Brother, there may be another fierce battle soon, better heal your injuries with this first."

Ran Kui glanced at Yun Qianzai and then pulled up that Array Flag from the ground, additionally reclaiming the heavily murderous Ghost Head Saber floating in midair.

"The situation is urgent, let me handle it, to avoid any accidents."

Yun Qianzai said no more this time, but after consuming the Qi Blood Pill Ji Yuan gave him, his originally pale complexion appeared much better.

Apart from a slight deficit in Spiritual Qi, there’s basically no problem.

"Let’s go!"

After Ran Kui put away the Array Flag, he was the first to pilot the Flying Boat, flying out along the passageway they came through.

Followed closely by Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai, Ji Yuan routinely brought up the rear, only before departing, he didn’t forget to glance back.

He always felt something was off about the underground.

Especially with the traces of Talismans pasted above, all indicating there had been Demons here.

Fortunately, there was no problem on the way out.

Earlier, when Ji Yuan and the others went underground, it was daytime, and they were delayed for a while retrieving the Black Dragon Stone, and now it was night.

The four emerged from underground, directly rising to the top of the Cliff, looking down over the entire Black Dragon Island.

Then Ji Yuan discovered that only the great hall they had visited before and the plaza outside it were brightly lit, everywhere else was pitch black.

"Let’s go down and take a look."
