Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 527 - 246: It Was Her, It Was Him!

If this old guy could kill that Thousand Blood Demon, Ji Yuan estimated that he might have the strength of the Golden Core Realm. In that case, one would have to be more careful when facing him.

"No, he found that Golden Core Zhenren in the depths of the Ghost Seeking Cave. The two of them joined forces to seal the Blood Demon inside the Ghost Seeking Cave... That Blood Demon is so powerful, and the Wailing Wanderer spent a lot of effort cultivating it, he surely wouldn’t want to kill it."

Perhaps it was because Ji Yuan had once saved her life in Ghost Seeking Cave, or maybe it was what Ji Yuan had just said.

As a result, Ye Zhiqiu was also quite frank with Ji Yuan, answering in detail no matter what he asked.

"I see... So, Daoist Ye, why are you on this whale patrol ship? Is it because the Wailing Wanderer is also planning to hide on Ice and Fire Island?"

After Ji Yuan asked this question, he noticed Ye Zhiqiu turn her head to look at the room on her left-hand side.

The one residing in that room was the Wailing Wanderer.

"Daoist Qiu, I don’t know if it’s fate or something else." Ye Zhiqiu sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Ji Yuan had already sensed something fishy in her words, and he had anticipated that nothing good would come from the Wailing Wanderer being on this ship.

"We are not going to Ice and Fire Island; our purpose this trip is for this whale patrol ship."

"Whale patrol ship... Are you planning to rob the ship?!"

"Sort of, but not quite. The Wailing Wanderer just wants to make some quick money, and as for robbing the ship... Luo Sifu has betrayed the Luo Family and plans to flee with this ship. He won’t give it to us."

... So even the captain has turned traitor now?

Is this ship full of swine?

Pigs waiting to be slaughtered?

Ji Yuan fell silent.

He was pondering whether to make a quick escape when suddenly, the entire large ship shuddered violently for a moment.

Ji Yuan quickly used his Divine Sense to scan outside the deck, and discovered that the whale patrol ship... had entered the sea.

Well, now escaping wouldn’t be easy.

Seeing Ji Yuan remain silent, Ye Zhiqiu quickly said:

"But Daoist Qiu, you needn’t worry, the three Wailing Wanderers only want money, not lives, and Luo Sifu won’t dare to harm everyone on this ship, they don’t have the strength."

"Here’s what we’ll do. Remember to disguise your identity. When I come to collect the storage bags, just give me an empty storage bag, and I’ll help cover for you."

"That’s it. The old thief’s calling for me."

Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking and got up to leave the room.

Ji Yuan hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "I’m in Earth One Room."

He then noticed the Wailing Wanderer emerge from Heaven One Room, while Luo Sifu also stepped out from the control room, and the three of them gathered in the ship’s hold.

They stood there on the fourth floor, right in front of the Heaven-class cabin.

Ji Yuan had no idea what the grand expert Luo Sifu of the Luo Family had gone through to lead him to betray the Luo Family and do this kind of act.

Wailing Wanderer and Luo Sifu had clearly made a deal long ago.

The two exchanged glances, each nodding slightly, then Luo Sifu’s voice echoed throughout the entire whale patrol ship.

"Everyone, I am Luo Sifu, and I apologize... I have sold you all out."

No hypocritical pleasantries, only the simplest truth.

"No need for many words, I Luo care for money over life, so soon a senior will come aboard, and all you need to do is hand over your storage bags, that is, all your treasures, and it’ll be fine."

"Once this matter is over, I will arrange for you all to go to Ice and Fire Island."

"Of course, if anyone is unwilling, you may stand up at this moment, and I, Luo, will have a conversation with you."

After saying this, the entire ship fell into silence.

Only the dark undercurrents of the Endless Sea below could be heard, crashing against the hull with thudding noises.

Several breaths of time passed in such a manner, before a male voice was heard from this level of the ship’s hold where Ji Yuan was.

"Daoist Luo, are you not afraid that when you return, the Luo Family will hold you accountable for doing such a thing, or is it that this was the Luo Family’s intention all along?!"

"Exactly, why would Daoist Luo go so far?"

Someone chimed in.

Luo Sifu laughed heartily and said, "Let’s be frank, I’ve laid my cards on the table, I Luo Sifu have indeed rebelled against the Luo Family, and besides, do you really think the Luo Family is anything good?"

"Well, enough idle chatter, if you have any questions, feel free to step out and talk it over by the door."

Despite saying so, no one dared to leave.

No one here was an idiot, everyone realized Luo Sifu needed someone to set a precedent as a warning.

No one was stupid enough to volunteer as a sacrificial lamb.

But similarly, no one resisted... No one wanted to be the one to stand out.

"Good, since everyone is willing to cooperate, that’s for the best then."

Having said this, Luo Sifu, along with Ye Zhiqiu, abruptly headed down from the fourth floor, arriving at Ji Yuan’s room door.

As for the Fake Pill Realm Wailing Wanderer, he stayed on the fourth-floor deck, not making a move.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the room number above the door and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

But at this moment, Ji Yuan had already walked to open the door himself. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

With an ashen face, he passed a storage bag outward, then cast a venomous glare at Luo Sifu, gritting his teeth as he said,

"Daoist Luo, today’s favor, I will remember!"

Ye Zhiqiu accepted the storage bag from Ji Yuan’s hands with a blank expression and turned to the next room.

Luo Sifu chuckled self-mockingly, shook his head, said nothing, and followed behind Ye Zhiqiu, leaving.

Ji Yuan shut the door heavily, and the expression on his face instantly returned to normal.

... It seems Ye Zhiqiu can be trusted, she really didn’t betray him.

Ji Yuan returned to the mat and sat down again.

Since that’s the case, now he just had to wait for Ye Zhiqiu and the others to finish collecting from all the cultivators, and then they would split the spoils.

Once the spoils were divided, Luo Sifu would send everyone across this Storm Area.

At that point, the matter would be settled.

Of course, that would be the best-case scenario.

As for anything unfavorable occurring, Ji Yuan couldn’t be sure.

In any case, his Divine Sense closely followed Luo Sifu and Ye Zhiqiu as they moved from room to room collecting their loot.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators faced with two Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators robbing them had no choice but to obediently hand over their storage bags.

When dealing with them, Ye Zhiqiu was not so easily appeased.

"Your storage bag, only this little?"

When confronting the Foundation Establishment cultivator who previously spoke, Ye Zhiqiu frowned and asked.

Luo Sifu’s Divine Sense swept over, and a Water-Splitting Needle instantly pierced through the man’s forehead.

The man had no chance to respond.

Luo Sifu then leisurely extracted a second storage bag from the man’s chest and tossed it to Ye Zhiqiu.

He continued speaking loudly, "Everyone, this Daoist Tan was dishonest and held back, not listening to my warning, therefore I had no choice but to send him into the Storm Area to feed the fish. I hope you won’t make the same mistakes."

The person to set an example had finally emerged.

After that, the Foundation Establishment cultivators all became compliant, each one handing over all their treasures.

Even if they still wanted to hide something, it was just one or two Spiritual Artifacts at most.

Luo Sifu appeared not to pursue the issue further, sometimes even knowing the other party had hidden a Spiritual Artifact, he would not expose it.

Within the Foundation Establishment Stage, nobody dared to resist.

The remaining Qi Cultivation cultivators living in the lower deck of the ship didn’t dare to resist either.

Yet despite this, both Luo Sifu and Ye Zhiqiu, the two Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, personally went down to rob them one more time.

Not a single item was spared.

But just as Ji Yuan thought everything would pass smoothly, a young man suddenly stood up in the lower deck of the ship, with an iron face pointing at Luo Sifu, shouting,

"When I descended the mountain, my master told me the world is filthy and dirty, and better not to come. I didn’t believe it then, but seeing you today, I believe it!"

"A bunch of scum from the cultivation realm!"

Having said that, the young man in a black robe threw out a miniature short sword.

He himself vanished from the ship in an instant, using some unknown treasure.

But the miniature short sword he left in the ship’s hold suddenly expanded, slicing out a dazzling sword light.

With just one strike, Luo Sifu was cleaved in half.

The sword light maintained its momentum, ultimately splitting the whale patrol ship... in two.

Ji Yuan, who had been sitting calmly, shot to his feet.

And he blurted out,

"No, fuck your mother!!!"
