Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 349 - 188: The Overseas Loose Cultivator—Demon Lord Ji

Chapter 349: Chapter 188: The Overseas Loose Cultivator—Demon Lord Ji
The result was all a no.
As expected, it matched what Bai Piao said at that time.
"This Corrupted Firefly Yuga Tree thing is too rare."
So to get this thing, you still have to deal with the Foundation Establishment cultivators on both sides.
Ji Yuan’s original plan was to head to the Ghost Seeking Cave, blend into a faction, and in this way, not only could he assume a Demon Cultivator identity, but also use this to trade with them and obtain the Corrupted Firefly Yuga Tree.
However, now it seems that the plan can’t keep up with the changes.
"Or should I wait for them to finish fighting, and then find a way to trade?"
This is not a bad idea either, and when the time comes, I’ll side with whoever wins.
After all, identity is secondary; Ji Yuan’s main purpose this time is to get the Corrupted Firefly Yuga Tree.
...
In a mansion in the Great Love City.
Deng Pinghai and four other cultivators gathered there, including the Sect Leader of the Great Love Sect, Wailing Wanderer.
As Deng Pinghai finished recounting what happened today, a white-robed cultivator fanning a Feather Fan next to him said with a smile, "According to Pinghai, if we can make sure this person is an outsider cultivator, then it’ll be easy."
"If we can bring him down, our Great Love Sect can gain some extra strength for no reason."
"If we can’t bring him down, it doesn’t matter, as long as he doesn’t go to Ghost Seeking Cave."
A brawny bald man with a bare chest then said grimly, "Just a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment, even if he joins Ghost Seeking Cave, so what? I can crush him with one punch!"
"..."
"Does that person lack anything?"
Sitting in the main seat, the thin and white-haired Wailing Wanderer spoke in a hoarse voice.
As soon as he spoke, the others immediately shut their mouths.
Deng Pinghai, after recalling for a moment, said, "He didn’t say, but as a Loose Cultivator, what could he not lack? He definitely needs Spirit Stones."
"Think again, see if you can find him. If you can, we’ll spend some Spirit Stones to bring him over."
The cloudy eyes of the Wailing Wanderer swept over the other four present, "At critical times, we can naturally use another person; not to mention an early-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator."
"If he comes... Third Brother."
The bald man who spoke earlier stood up and responded, "Yes, Big Brother."
"You’re quick-tempered, and so is Qiu Qianhai, so don’t get into a dispute with him."
"Understood."
The bald man had to agree.
Seeing this, Deng Pinghai thought for a moment and said, "Big Brother, based on my contact with that Qiu Qianhai, he’s bold yet meticulous. He can probably guess our current situation in the Great Love Sect."
"If he fears the Joy Palace and won’t join us, what should we do?"
Wailing Wanderer didn’t respond, because he didn’t know either.
Sitting beside him, Qian Xin chuckled, "It’s easy to deal with fools and also easy to deal with smart people. What you fear is those who are neither smart nor foolish, as such people often have a one-track mind."
"Please give us your guidance, Daoist Qian Xin."
Deng Pinghai cupped his hands and said to him.
Qian Xin lightly shook the Feather Fan, "Since Qiu Qianhai fears the Joy Palace and is a smart person, why not make him think we are from the Joy Palace?"
Then Qian Xin transmitted a few instructions to him secretly.
After listening, Deng Pinghai suddenly realized and then cupped his hands and returned to his original place.
Afterwards, the group discussed attacking the Ghost Seeking Cave until they had talked enough, and Wailing Wanderer said, "Alright, there’s nothing else. You all may leave, except for Qian Xin to stay."
Deng Yunhai and the other two left, leaving only the white-robed man with the Feather Fan.
In the hall, Wailing Wanderer stroked his beard and asked, "Do you think the Ghost Seeking Cave could be the place where our Great Love Sect will rise again?"
Qian Xin seemed to always wear a smile, "That depends on whether the Sect Leader wants the truth or wants to hear something nice."
"Let’s hear the nice words first."
Wailing Wanderer said, lowering his eyelids.
"Our Great Love Sect now has many Demon Cultivators, and the Ghost Seeking Cave is a well-known gathering place for Demon Cultivators. Along with the great changes in the world situation, we hide in the Ghost Seeking Cave and await the right time. That’s the first point."
Qian Xin spoke eloquently, "The Sect Leader calls himself Wailing Wanderer, and Ghost Seeking Wailing aligns with heavenly will; that’s the second point."
"As for the third point, the Black Death Demon Venerable in the Ghost Seeking Cave once had ties with Great Love Zhenren, and the Joy Palace is willing to give him some face. With the Sect Leader’s identity, settling in the Ghost Seeking Cave naturally brings stability."
Qian Xin stopped speaking after saying these three points.
Wailing Wanderer slowly nodded, "And what’s the truth?"
"The truth is that the Joy Palace is chasing us hard, and since they are willing to leave us a way out... aside from the Ghost Seeking Cave, we have nowhere else to go."
Qian Xin said this, even feeling a bit bitter.
Wailing Wanderer picked up the crutch beside him, and in an instant, a surge of Yin Qi emanated from his body, and faintly, the entire hall seemed to echo with the wails of ghosts and wolves.
"Pawns on the chessboard! The Joy Palace plainly wants us to be the pawns for the Ghost Seeking Cave!"
Wailing Wanderer said through gritted teeth.
Qian Xin did not rush to speak, but after a long silence, he said in a leisurely tone:
"Pawns on the board... so what?"
"Once we enter the Great Love Sect, enter the Ghost Seeking Cave, then we are crossing the river, and pawns crossing the river naturally have no taboos."
Wailing Wanderer suddenly laughed, leaning on the crutch, and said:
"Indeed, Daoist Qian Xin makes sense."
"Great Love schemes, should lie dormant in the wild, waiting for the right moment to act."
"..."
Meanwhile.
Overseas, Heartless Island.
In a black robe, Qiu Qianhai looked at the hundreds of cultivators under his command and said in a deep voice, "You have gathered here today, so you should listen to my Ji Yuan’s command!"
"Their Heavenly Killing Hall bullies us too much. I, Ji Yuan, only have one request this time!"
"When we invade the Heavenly Killing Hall, we must adhere to one principle, that is..."
"Kill all, rob all, burn all!"
Qiu Qianhai shouted with raised arms, and the many cultivators under him followed suit.
"Kill all! Rob all! Burn all!!"
"..."
After a round of encouraging words, these cultivators excitedly charged out of the valley, chanting as they headed toward the Heavenly Killing Hall’s residence.
When only Qiu Qianhai was left on the high platform, he said in his mind:
"Master, how’s my momentum?!"
Instantly, a sinister voice echoed in his mind.
"It’s just ants fighting. Back in the day, I commanded Nascent Souls of three to five, Golden Cores of dozens, and Foundation Establishment cultivators too numerous to count during Qi Cultivation. Just with you, these... haha."
Qiu Qianhai wasn’t discouraged. Instead, he mocked:
"Yes, yes, that’s why you’re reduced to boasting with me now."
"You!!"
The voice grew furious but soon calmed down again, mocking, "You were slept with by a woman."
Qiu Qianhai was enraged, "You were killed by your disciple!"
"You were slept with by a woman."
Qiu Qianhai then said nothing more and immediately he maneuvered a Blood Sword, tearing through the sky.
After a while.
Within the Heavenly Killing Hall’s residence, a maniacal laugh suddenly erupted. "Remember, the one who killed you is I, the overseas Loose Cultivator, Ji Yuan!!!"
"Fuck your mother, you old demon Ji!"
