Chapter 1339: 998: Familiar Formula, Familiar Flavor (Part 2)

The young master, born and pampered, held in the palm of the family’s hand, had never suffered such anger. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became, and immediately called for someone to stand up for him. Upon learning that his beloved youngest son was humiliated, the patriarch’s fury spanned thousands of miles in pursuit!

"If it were only a matter of the Gu family, it wouldn’t be so bad. We’ve been operating on Yingtian Star for many years and have many connections to settle this matter." Fei Xue became more and more angry as he spoke, curling up his body held in a net, trying to gesture with his hands, "You should also know how ostentatious You Lai’s Immortal Ship is."

Dammit! Isn’t it just because the family has a bit of filthy money? Bored from overeating and showing off!

He drives the Immortal Ship that is the most luxurious new model. The Gu family couldn’t catch up quickly and, feeling that the other party comes from a significant background they didn’t want to engage, began to call friends and connections, offering massive rewards.

Besides the sect families who had good relations with them, the bounty also gathered hundreds of curious cultivators!

As a result, when they grandly arrived at the door, two timid disciples mistakenly thought their evil deeds were exposed, and by chance, our secret was discovered by the righteous path, starting a massacre immediately."

Jiang Yuan heard this and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly, "Oh-hoa? It really is a chain reaction?"

"Where is You Lai?" The clone quickly asked.

The other party said irritably, "That kid turned the heat on us, and he’s escaped smoothly using a body full of Magical Treasures, I don’t know where he’s hiding specifically.

However, Yingtian Star’s observatory is afraid of Leisure Sect members escaping, so they’ve ordered the closure of the world barrier, and all outbound teleportation arrays are rigorously checked, so You Lai probably can’t escape anytime soon."

After pausing for a moment, Fei Xue added, "I heard the observatory has a special Divine Artifact for identifying evil cultivators, and they’ve assembled various city lords, sect leaders, and patriarchs to join the ranks of besieging evil cultivators. The disaster caused by You Lai is escalating, even the Great Elder got injured.

Earlier, the Great Elder ridiculed the disciples of other small worlds for not hiding well and being exposed and besieged everywhere. Now he’s faced with this himself, so he fears the sect leader will transfer the remaining essence, and he’s sent me to move it in advance."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yuan’s clone with a face full of grievance and asked, "Aren’t you also sent here to be used as a pawn? If nothing goes wrong in the future, fine; but if it does, the sect leader will hold us accountable, and we’ll have to take the blame for the elder.

My friend, in consideration of our shared woes, stop teasing me.

The situation on Yingtian Star is unfavorable; this essence storage vault can only teleport designated people at set points, and I can’t follow you to leave for the Wilderness World; there’s also a time limit that can’t be overstayed, let me go to find a safe place to hide."

You know, from Fei Xue’s description, Jiang Yuan sensed a familiar recipe and flavor—though not certain, there is a high probability that the Leisure Sect’s evil cultivators on Yingtian Star were defeated by me!

However, the exchange rate hasn’t changed, maybe because these fleeing remnants haven’t been dealt with yet, so let’s speed up the demise of the evil cultivator organization!

"Isn’t that a coincidence? I know a place that’s absolutely safe." Jiang Yuan’s clone smiled innocently, stepping forward to grab the storage bag off the other party’s body, casually slinging it over his shoulder, and began absorbing lifespan.

Fei Xue was completely stunned, realizing his spiritual power and vitality were leaking crazily, only then did he remember the rumors that Qi Baijun, one of the three Protectors in the Wilderness, is skilled in Soul-Devouring Demon Skill!

"You-you’re crazy? Qi Baijun! What you’re doing today will definitely be discovered by the Great Elder, then you wouldn’t have a place to bury your bones!"

"You can’t kill me, I also know many secrets about the sect leader, let me go, I’ll tell you everything!"

"Let me go, please... I don’t want to die..."

......

He never dreamed that he’d fall victim in the place known as the safest!

Since falling into evil ways, unwilling to be under others, he painstakingly climbed to the position of Protector. Just escaping from the siege, avoiding so many overt and covert arrows, now he’s going to die quietly in Qi Baijun’s hands, and this guy will even impersonate him to deceive others. At this thought, Fei Xue felt extremely despairing, his heart filled with resentment with nowhere to vent.

"Hoo!" Jiang Yuan’s clone stopped when he was absorbed to a state of near-death, laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Knowing the sect leader’s secrets is great, it’s perfect for exchanging merits, see how benevolent I am to you."

Having said this, he signaled the main body to handle it, himself withdrawing from the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, continuing to guard the essence storage vault waiting for the prey to come.

Yet after waiting several minutes, no evil cultivator came forward voluntarily, before a flash of light suddenly brought him back to Qi Baijun’s Immortal Ship.

[Stayed in the essence storage vault for 30 minutes, triggered forced teleportation, cooldown time 2 hours, please re-enter after cooldown]

Jiang Yuan: ???

So Fei Xue was right about the time limit for staying, it’s true!

Why didn’t Qi Baijun mention this?

Well, looks like I can only wait quietly for the cooldown time to end and then re-enter to see if any evil cultivators come to withdraw their ’deposit,’ perfect for catching them red-handed.

"Buzz buzz~"

Another big fish hooked, Jiang Yuan cast his line automatically picking up into the storage bag, casually casting the hook down again before clicking to check the newly received message on the Merit Token.

Surprisingly, the message was personally sent by the Sect Leader of Leisure Sect!

[Sect Leader: Recently heard that within the sect, believers frequently encounter misfortunes, upon inquiry, Sixth Elder reported: Protector Qi was first aware of abnormalities, and responded promptly. However, the changing world can’t be resisted, it’s also helpless.

Protector Qi’s loyalty is commendable and obvious to all, as a talent indispensable to Leisure Sect. Starting today, prioritize your own safety and temporarily hide, wait for the headquarters’ orders once the dust settles, then plan for the great cause together]

"Damn it, is the sect leader planning to flee?!" He glanced through the message rapidly, rising in shock, but the button was gray indicating the message couldn’t be replied to.

Pondering his words, Jiang Yuan immediately sent a message to the Sixth Elder trying to probe more.

The response wasn’t that official, even carried a hint of discontent towards the sect leader, grumbled a bit.

It boiled down to Leisure Sect having bad luck lately, no matter which small world’s evil cultivators are being besieged, fearing the top layers will suffer too much loss, to stabilize the morale they urged everyone not to commit crimes against the tide.

"The sect leader’s expansion of Leisure Sect is mostly to gain more essence to ascend. Unfortunately, his path to immortality through medicine means, ascension isn’t just having enough refined essence, it’s achieved naturally. He must attain in medical skills to glimpse the threshold of ascension, not an easy task!"

Sixth Elder’s message was quick and plenty, "Earlier I mentioned subtly, the sect leader even doubted, ha, since not going to the essence storage vault for bottoming out, shows he realized the key to ascension during this time.

No need to worry, if your storage bag isn’t enough, you can return some. Though don’t return it all, we’ll probably face tough days ahead, keeping more essence within reach is more reassuring..."

Medical skills, pursuing immortality through medicine!

Suddenly Jiang Yuan had an epiphany—system did mention that the sect leader was originally a physician in the Wilderness;

And in the cultivation realm, there’s a legend that to ascend, one must step on one’s place of birth;

He’s trying to attain immortality through medicine, would he secretly return to the Wilderness World to practice medicine amidst all this chaos of evil cultivator sieges?

"No more delays, time to swallow them all!"

Previously designing Qian Xiaoyu and Shang Jiuxiao was to confuse the public, especially to let the Sixth Elder take the fall for Leisure Sect’s downfall in the Wilderness, so that I could later contact the sect leader under Qi Baijun’s guise.

After all, the real Qi Baijun could change endlessly, and this impersonator couldn’t acquire similar skills to impersonate the Sixth Elder and continue fooling around.

But now there’s a high chance the sect leader would ’return home,’ he may settle down and quickly contact the Sixth Elder, once connected, I won’t have a part.

If there’s no chance to eliminate the sect leader, the task of wiping out the Leisure Sect may not proceed smoothly!

Jiang Yuan’s clone received a signal from the main body, immediately pretending to find a clue about Zhan Chen Yang, excitedly boasting to the Sixth Elder, getting permission to transmit again.

"Where exactly is Zhan Chen Yang?" The old man’s eyes were bloodshot, eager to immediately capture the person to reclaim his Divine Artifact and beauty.

"Please look..." The clone offered a Merit Token with both hands, when the other was attracted and reached for it, he flipped his hand to grab and send him into the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower, simultaneously activating the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill!
