Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

"A mere early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet able to sense us through the Concealment Array... Cultivators from Fenglin Continent do have some skills."

Cultivators from Fenglin Continent?

The waxy-faced old man was startled, and then a violent shock went through his heart!

Cultivators from the Outer Continent?!

As the thought emerged, a Shocking Change abruptly arose!

He felt an irresistible surge of pure mana instantly engulfing him, and at the same time, the array pattern of a Teleportation Array materialized in front of him, rapidly twisting and almost instantly forming a portal.

And the moment the portal was formed, Ji Lan did not hesitate for a second, quickly dragging the waxy-faced old man into the portal.

"It’s Senior Brother!"

The waxy-faced old man was instantly reassured.

And secretly delighted.

After all, Senior Brother had not forgotten the camaraderie of so many years.

It seems that the contention for the position of Sect Master of the East Saint Sect would not be tumultuous anymore.

The waxy-faced old man thought these things.

Then, he suddenly shuddered!

He numbly looked down and found his body—or where his body should have been—was now void and empty.

"Junior Brother!"

Whoosh!

Crossing the portal of the Teleportation Array, the scenery around them abruptly changed.

However, Ji Lan’s face showed a trace of extreme sorrow and anger.

In front of him, the waxy-faced old man was left with only a head.

His eyes wide open, staring at Ji Lan.

The light in his eyes was fading bit by bit.

Yet his mouth still murmured fainter and fainter:

"...Senior... Brother... East Saint..."

"Junior Brother Gao!"

Feeling the complete extinction of the other’s aura, Ji Lan couldn’t help but feel sorrow welling up from his heart.

Previously, he hadn’t felt it, but at this moment, witnessing the only peer brother he had left dying before his eyes, he was stricken with grief and suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness.

It was a loneliness from having his past completely severed in the annals of time.

From this day forward, no one would remember how he looked when he was young, the notorious stories from his youth, everything about his younger self.

Nor would there be anyone to reminisce with him about the past they had shared...

A person’s death starts with being forgotten.

And his earlier life... was now dead.

However, at that moment.

The head of the waxy-faced old man suddenly turned, its eyes shimmering with Yi light, looking towards Ji Lan:

"Ran quite fast!"

Two streaks of mysterious light shot from his eyes.

Ji Lan’s pupils constricted sharply!

"Possession?! Or..."

He was horrified.

With a thought, a Teleportation Array portal condensed behind him again, and almost at the same time as the portal was formed, he plunged into it!

Whoosh!

The portal closed rapidly as he entered, the two beams of mysterious light, swift though they were, missed their target.

The head of the waxy-faced man spun in mid-air, his brow slightly furrowed:

"He can still run... but using the abilities through the void is indeed slower, the ’Suta Venerable Skill’ didn’t have time to capture his spirit."

"Enough, since it is so, let’s speed up, directly bulldoze through."

Then, with a thought, the spiritual light in the eyes of the waxy-faced head quickly disappeared.

The head also lost its support and dropped down...

...

Whoosh!

A portal suddenly appeared out of thin air above the endless green forest, followed by a disheveled figure flying out.

It was none other than Ji Lan, who had narrowly escaped from the crisis.

His eyes carried a hint of luck, as well as a deep solemnity:

"Who exactly are these people?"

He was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations. Just now, at the mountain peak, he faintly sensed a shockingly large number of Nascent Soul beings flying over from above.

Yet, he had not seen anyone passing by.

This immediately made him vigilant.

He hadn’t expected that among this group, there seemed to be beings with extraordinary realms, who actually noticed his sensing. Despite his swift escape, he was still caught in a slip.

However, perhaps the adversaries didn’t expect him to be able to teleport again, instead giving him the opportunity to escape successfully.

"Junior Brother Gao..."

Across Ji Lan’s heart flashed the tragic death of the waxy-faced old man.

But there was no time for grief, the first thought that came to his mind was:

"I need to report to the Lord immediately!"

The emergence of a massive number of unidentified early-stage Nascent Soul beings from Outer Continent over the skies of a vassal state of Jin was clearly beyond his capacity to handle.

Thinking of this, he immediately stimulated a piece of the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone in his hand.

This was also a special privilege granted to him as a member of the Lord’s subordinate, which allowed him to directly contact the Lord.

However, what made him frown was that the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone unexpectedly failed.

Feeling a premonition, he swiftly turned back.

But he saw in the distant sky, a golden pool with a shadow of a dragon circling around it, brazenly expanding into a huge arc of light, rapidly spreading in all directions!

And it was flying swiftly towards the west.

Beneath it, looming over the Dragon Head Ships with astonishing regulations.

The pool was not large, but having served under the Lord for many years, Ji Lan at this moment finally realized.

"Is this... the Dragon Transformation Pool?!"

"Are these people from Huangji Continent?!"

"What are they trying to do?!"

In his heart, however, the answer instantly became clear.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Lan quickly constructed another Teleportation Array.

Only this time, the speed at which the Teleportation Array formed was much slower than usual.

"Is it because of that Dragon Transformation Pool?"

"But isn’t it said in the Lord’s reports that the Dragon Transformation Pool can’t be moved?"

Ji Lan was baffled.

It took him several breaths’ time for a Teleportation Array portal to barely take shape.

He didn’t dare to waste time and immediately flew into it.

Just as the portal closed, a large ship silently descended.

A few Nascent Soul Cultivators flew out of the ship, glanced at the place where Ji Lan had just been, and then shook their heads slightly.
