"Greetings, Elder."
Nowadays, Hu Li no longer harbors any resentnt towards "Qiu Qianhai."
Although the insect eggs within him remain unresolved, these months have been the most peaceful in his cultivation journey.
With the Spirit Stones from the treasury, he has no worries about cultivation.
With this Tier Three array and the protection of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s na, he doesn’t fear disturbances.
He even boldly spoke to a Core Formation Demon Cultivator who visited him recently.
This was sothing that previously Hu Li wouldn’t have dared to imagine.
But he also understands that these comforts are all brought to him by "Elder Qiu" standing before him.
"You’ve worked hard during this period."
Ji Yuan said as he took out a bottle of Elixir and tossed it onto the table.
"This should last you the next six months. After that, I’ll remove the insect eggs for you. If I forget, just remind ."
Hu Li was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Thank you, thank you, Elder!"
Seeing him about to kneel, Ji Yuan raised him up with a hand.
"Enough, let’s talk about what news you found during your recent outings?"
He spoke and sat down beside him.
To his surprise, Hu Li’s first words left him a bit stunned.
"Elder, the Sword Ruins... have been destroyed!"
"What?!"
Ji Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, almost believing he misheard.
"Did you say the Sword Ruins, destroyed?"
Ji Yuan repeated.
"Yes, it happened three months ago. It’s said that the Three Demon Sects from Shangxi, along with so Nascent Soul Cultivators from Jiyuan Continent, ascended Shang Mountain. Then... then..."
"What happened next?"
"The Sword Ruins were exterminated. It’s said even the late-stage Nascent Soul One Sword Master couldn’t escape. But it’s said he sacrificed himself to save Xu Sheng, who was the only one to escape. It’s rumored he fled overseas, but no one knows to where."
Hu Li, not daring to keep Ji Yuan guessing, told everything in one breath.
After hearing this, Ji Yuan tapped his right-hand index finger lightly against his knee.
...The Sword Ruins were destroyed, the late-stage Nascent Soul One Sword Master dead, leaving only Xu Sheng escaping.
It seems the Sword Ruins placed all their hopes on Xu Sheng?
Perhaps they’re just waiting for Xu Sheng to break through to Divinity Transformation and take revenge.
It’s possible indeed.
No matter what, Xu Sheng is the most talented individual in Cangluo Continent in the past thousand years.
Ford his Nascent Soul in just a century, he might still achieve Divinity Transformation.
’With Sword Ruins gone, it implies the era of Shang Dong’s six Immortal Sects has completely faded into history, and the last Holy Land in the hearts of the world’s righteous has vanished.’
Indeed, hearing this news, Ji Yuan felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.
With the Sword Ruins gone, it seems Shang Dong has little hope left.
’I suppose the days will be even harder for senior brother and the others.’
Ji Yuan felt sowhat distressed.
Even Hu Li, a demon cultivator, sighed.
No matter what, he is a native cultivator of Shang Dong.
Upon learning these things now, it’s impossible for him to feel nothing.
But such things, Ji Yuan can’t change.
So he changed the subject, not delving further into it.
"Besides this, has there been anything else happening?"
"Yes."
Hu Li nodded hurriedly.
"The day after the Sword Ruins were destroyed, Blood Luo Mountain announced a major event on Shang Mountain."
"What major event?"
"A Teleportation Array between Jiyuan Continent and our Cangluo Continent will open, with its location chosen to be in Coastal City."
"What?"
To Ji Yuan, this news was far more explosive than the previous one.
Though the destruction of the Sword Ruins is troubling, it was within Ji Yuan’s expectations.
But the Teleportation Array... having it finalized so quickly was unexpected.
Looks like Jiyuan Continent’s force is quite formidable.
And choosing Coastal City, isn’t that second senior brother’s hotown? The place where Ji Yuan agreed with Liu Yuan and Ran Kui to et isn’t far from there.
Now that a Teleportation Array is set up there, it won’t be easy to approach.
...Seems a visit is necessary. They might have left so information, better to destroy that island to prevent future suspicions.
’But even if I go, it should be after my Fake Pill formation. If encountering Core Formation Realm cultivators there, I must ensure self-preservation.’
"Oh right, Elder, the items you asked to procure last ti, I’ve brought them back."
"The Iron Thread Ants are all inside."
Hu Li said while handing over a Storage Bag with both hands.
Ji Yuan took it casually and glanced at it, "You’ve worked hard. In the next few days, go out again and gather more information, especially regarding the affairs from Jiyuan Continent, big or small, I need to know everything."
"Heh, no problem, Elder. Leave it to ."
Relaxed, Hu Li displayed a youthful spirit.
Ji Yuan had no more to say and soon leapt onto the back of the Frost Serpent, returning to the Hundred Insects Cave, ready to upgrade the Ant Nest.
At the ground, Hu Li watched the scene with hopeful eyes.
’When will I, Hu Li, have such power?’
Ji Yuan returned to the Cave Mansion and headed straight to the Ant Nest cave.
The surrounding Fire Marching Ants have all recognized him as master, so upon his arrival, they didn’t hide but gathered around him instead.
