NOVPUBAt this moment, the Yan Family ancestor and Bai Yi retreated a distance, facing both Li Mingwu and the Daoist Dragon, before he said:
"Since the two of you wish to exchange pointers with Yan, then it is only proper that Yan obliges."
Having said that, the Yan Family ancestor turned his head towards Bai Yi behind him and said:
"Once the fight starts, I will do my best to hold them both off, and you must make your own escape."
"Like I said before, I will hold them off for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, whether you have escaped or not, I will no longer concern myself."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi looked at the Yan Family ancestor with a complex expression...
However.
Just then, Li Mingwu suddenly burst into laughter:
"Hahaha..."
"Very well... very well..."
"You truly live up to your reputation, Yan Yujiang, a man who keeps his promises."
"Do you really think that you alone can withstand the two of us?"
However.
Just as Li Mingwu finished speaking, from the side, through the multicolored fog, suddenly another voice came through.
"If you add me, I rather think it’s not impossible to fight against you two."
With these words, everyone was stunned.
They turned their heads in unison, looking towards the direction of the voice.
Then.
In everyone’s gaze, a figure slowly emerged from the colorful fog that radiated with the light of the Five Elements.
The person who came out was Lin Jing.
Seeing that the newcomer was Lin Jing, the reactions of the group varied.
Li Mingwu’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Jing, while the Daoist Dragon was extremely shocked.
Upon seeing Lin Jing appear, the Yan Family ancestor, who had been extremely tense just a moment ago, immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
Bai Yi, on the other hand, looked at Lin Jing with confusion, not understanding where Lin Jing got the courage from.
After all, Lin Jing still appeared to be at the early stages of the Nascent Soul Stage, even lower than his own fallen cultivation.
...
...
After seeing Lin Jing, before Li Mingwu could act, the Daoist Dragon was the first to speak:
"How is it you?"
"No..."
"You were supposed to have died under that Demonic Tree in the Wood Realm?"
Hearing the Daoist Dragon say this, Lin Jing understood they had indeed been deceived.
With the intentional guidance of the Wood Spirit clan, and Lin Jing’s own designs, Li Mingwu and the Daoist Dragon had headed to the location of the Demonic Tree.
But now they were unharmed, which clearly meant they must have had other means to escape from the Demonic Tree’s assault.
And at this time. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Li Mingwu also narrowed his eyes at Lin Jing and directly said:
"Previously I had my doubts about you, even suspecting you did not die in the Wood Realm, but now it appears, true to my suspicions, you have hidden yourself deeply."
"If I’m not mistaken, you must also be concealing your true cultivation."
"Otherwise, with your mere early Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, you would not have been able to detect the tracking mark left by Daoist Dragon."
"And that place with the Demonic Tree must also have been a trap you laid in return."
"Am I right or not?"
Lin Jing looked at Li Mingwu and couldn’t help but praise:
"That’s right..."
"Since you two had taken action against me, naturally I had to retaliate."
"Yes, the place with the Demonic Tree was indeed a trap I deliberately left."
Li Mingwu looked at Lin Jing with flickering eyes, and after a while, Li Mingwu spoke to Lin Jing:
"I had never taken you seriously before, but now, I see I had underestimated you."
"Lin Jing..."
"Now I finally understand."
"In fact, from our first entry into the Five Elements Cave Mansion, you had been planning against me."
"And you were never truly under Yan Yujiang’s command..."
