Chapter 562: Chapter 233: The Dust Settles, Return to Nanming Domain
After emerging from the System Space, Lin Jing reappeared on the island.
Ye Yun and Yan Xiong had long since departed, the Moon Demon Sect Leader had fled, and the remnant soul had died under the System Space’s rules.
Lin Jing looked up, glanced around, the island was as peaceful as ever, with no one passing by.
Then,
Lin Jing looked in the direction where the Moon Demon Sect Leader had fled, hesitating for a moment.
After hesitating, Lin Jing seemed to make up his mind, took a step forward, and pursued in the direction the Moon Demon Sect Leader had left.
...
The Moon Demon Sect Leader, now without the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, posed much less of a threat, and was truly no match for Lin Jing.
If possible, Lin Jing naturally wanted to kill him at this time.
Otherwise, keeping him alive would inevitably lead to trouble.
Moreover, he knew about the Enlightenment Bead and would undoubtedly make another move against Wei Zhengqing and Wei Siyue.
Better to solve the issue now and reduce future troubles.
From the time the Moon Demon Sect Leader escaped to when Lin Jing made up his mind to give chase,
the time in between was, in fact, not too long.
The traces of his flight had not even dissipated.
Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense, feeling for the remnants of the Moon Demon Sect Leader’s aura left behind as he fled and followed in that direction.
Half a quarter of an hour passed with Lin Jing in pursuit when he suddenly stopped, his brows involuntarily knitting together,,
because at this point, he discovered that the aura of the Moon Demon Sect Leader had suddenly vanished.
Lin Jing immediately expanded his Divine Sense and searched a wider area.
However, despite scouring the nearby sea, Lin Jing still failed to pick up on the Moon Demon Sect Leader’s presence.
This situation was highly probable if he had concealed his own aura or used some form of instant-translocation Talisman to leave the area.
The Moon Demon Sect Leader’s resolute action must have been due to his concern over the remnant soul.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left behind the Great Dream Ancient Mirror so decisively and fled.
Subsequently,
Lin Jing searched the vicinity for a while longer, but to no avail.
The Moon Demon Sect Leader had likely already made good his escape.
Since Lin Jing couldn’t find the Moon Demon Sect Leader, there was no further need for him to stay there.
Then, Lin Jing shifted his direction and flew towards Bihai City.
…
Without a Flying Boat, it still took Lin Jing the better part of the day to cover the distance from the island back to Bihai City at his flying speed.
Upon returning to Bihai City, Lin Jing did not linger but went straight to the small courtyard where Wei Zhengqing resided.
Inside the courtyard, everyone except Wei Zhengqing was present.
As soon as Lin Jing returned, they came forward to greet him:
“Master…”
“Uncle Lin…”
“Brother…”
They greeted Lin Jing in turn.
Yan Xiong was also present, but with a strange look on his face, seemingly incredulous, as he carefully scrutinized Lin Jing before speaking:
“Brother Lin?”
Lin Jing then waved his hand and reverted to his original appearance, smiling at Yan Xiong:
“Big Bear, long time no see…”
Yan Xiong immediately became excited:
“I can’t believe it’s really you…”
“When they first told me, I was somewhat skeptical.”
“After all, that was a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch; who would have thought that after so many years, you would have become one yourself.”
“It feels so surreal.”
While speaking, Yan Xiong even pinched his own arm.
“Ouch! It hurts…”
“It’s definitely real.”
Facing this behavior from Yan Xiong, Lin Jing could only offer a helpless smile.
Yan Xiong was actually similar to Yan Wanfei, straightforward and without any craftiness, and would say outright whatever was on his mind.
Lin Jing, of course, was no longer surprised by it.
At this point, Yan Xiong looked resentfully at Lin Jing:
“You really duped me back then…”
Lin Jing smiled helplessly, then spoke:
“The situation then limited me, so I hid my identity.”@@novelbin@@
Yan Xiong nodded and then said:
“Understandable, understandable…”
“By the way…”
“What about the Moon Demon Sect Leader?”
“With such high Cultivation and the Great Dream Ancient Mirror in hand, how did you escape from him?”
After speaking, Yan Xiong looked at Lin Jing with curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Ye Yun and the other two also looked at Lin Jing to hear how he escaped from the Moon Demon Sect Leader after they had left…
Lin Jing faced them and then said:
“That Moon Demon Sect Leader was previously controlled by the remnant soul inside the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, which is why he attacked us. Later, during our fight, he came to his senses, dropped the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, and fled on his own…”
After Lin Jing finished, a voice came from a bedroom inside the house:
“The Moon Demon Sect Leader has fled?”
As the voice fell, Wei Zhengqing also emerged from the bedroom.
Seeing Wei Zhengqing come out, Wei Siyue quickly ran over, her face beaming as she looked up at him.
“Father…”
“Are you healed?”
Wei Zhengqing now had a healthy complexion, appeared to be in good spirits, and his Cultivation aura had returned to normal.
He was no longer feeble as before.
Wei Zhengqing smiled, patted Wei Siyue’s head, and then said:
“Yes, I’ve completely recovered…”
Having long been tormented by Demonic Qi, even the usually composed Wei Zhengqing was incredibly relieved.
Wei Zhengqing walked over, bowed, and thanked Lin Jing:
“Thank you, Brother Lin…”
What do you think?
