Chapter 357: Chapter 58 Discussing Business
Soon, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei arrived at the island where the two little girls were.
Before the two could even land, the frightened girls imdiately hid, then peeked out from behind the trees, watching cautiously.
Only when they saw that it was them did the two girls run out and throw themselves at Yan Wanfei.
The two of them clung to Yan Wanfei, unwilling to let go.
Seeing this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but smile wryly.
He fully understood the little girls’ actions.
After all, it could be said that Yan Wanfei had saved them, and the three of them had spent a few days together.
It was Yan Wanfei himself who actually felt a bit embarrassed.
Afterward.
Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei took the two little girls with them and left the island.
By the ti they got back to Li Yan Island, Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers had already settled everything there.
When they returned, several Foundation Establishnt Cultivators ca to greet them.
The one at the forefront was a middle-aged beauty who still carried the charm of her younger days. Approaching Lin Jing and the others, she clasped her hands and said,
“We greet the two Vice-Island Lords…”
Lin Jing was instantly bewildered; he wondered how he had suddenly beco a Vice-Island Lord.
At this mont, Holaw Three Rivers spoke up to explain to Lin Jing:
“These people were originally the native cultivators of Li Yan Island, living on this island before it was occupied by Dai Mao.”
“Calling you Island Lords is an unwritten rule that has always existed in the Thousand Islands Domain…”
“In the Thousand Islands Domain, there are many islands, but they have always been without formal governance. Anyone with enough strength can take over an island and declare themselves Island Master.”
“And this title of Island Master is not fixed. If a cultivator leaves for too long, is defeated, or dies, then naturally, the island they occupied will cease to belong to them.”
“If the victors are willing, they can directly take the island as their territory and beco the new Island Master.”
“If they are not willing, then the island will revert to being ownerless.”
After hearing Holaw Three Rivers’ explanation, Lin Jing imdiately understood:
“I see…”
“So from now on, we’re to be the Island Masters of Li Yan Island?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.
But Holaw Three Rivers shook his head with a helpless expression and said:
“This is only a temporary asure…”
At that mont, Lu Youjiu also spoke up:
“Good timing, now that you two are back, we can discuss so matters together.”
Following that.
At Lu Youjiu’s instruction, Yan Wanfei handed the two little girls over to the middle-aged beauty to look after.
Then the group, led by one of the island’s Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, made their way to a majestic hall.
The hall was truly large and all the furnishings inside were of considerable value.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator told them that this hall was created by Dai Mao’s subordinates.
After entering, knowing that Lin Jing and the others were there to hold a eting, the local Foundation Establishnt Cultivators promptly withdrew.
Then.
Holaw Three Rivers acted imdiately, raising a grand formation that enveloped the entire room.
Once everything was prepared and everyone was seated, Lu Youjiu began to speak:
“Today, you must all have witnessed the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch’s strength. He is likely in the Nascent Soul Stage, and not just an ordinary Nascent Soul at that.”
“At the very least, he possesses the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul Stage or the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.”
“Now that the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch has escaped, it is not good news for us. Once his injuries heal, he will probably seek revenge.”
As he said this, Lu Youjiu turned to look at Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin…”
“How exactly did you manage to severely injure the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch today?”
Yan Wanfei’s face was also full of curiosity as he looked toward Lin Jing, saying:
“Yeah…”
“Brother Lin, you don’t know…”
“You really shocked …”
“Rushing directly at the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, I thought you were about to do sothing foolish, like attacking with your fists?”
“I was really startled at the ti, and I almost rushed up to save you.”
“But what you did next…”
“With a single spell, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was severely wounded. Had he not escaped so swiftly, I reckon we would have captured him…”
With that, Yan Wanfei’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at Lin Jing, like a young calf eager for knowledge:
“Brother Lin, please tell …”
“How did you manage to do that?”
Not just Yan Wanfei, but Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers as well leaned forward attentively, clearly very interested in the matter.
Lin Jing nodded and then said:
“The reason for this is because of the Cultivation Technique I practice.”
Speaking, Lin Jing used the Five Elents Divine Art to condense a stream of Wǔ Cǎi lights, letting them revolve continuously around his fingertips.
After a mont, Lin Jing retracted the Five Elents Divine Art.
Then, he said to the three:
“The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch must have been sealed by soone who also cultivated the Five Elents Divine Art prior to this.”
“Moreover, that person left behind a spell, synonymous with the Five Elents Divine Art, on his body to suppress the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
“I indeed felt that spell, which is why I thought to use my own Five Elents Divine Art to detonate the spell within him that shared the sa origin as the Five Elents Divine Art.”
“Originally, I just wanted to try it out.”
“But unexpectedly, it actually worked.”
After listening to Lin Jing’s narration, Yan Wanfei beca excited and quickly said,
“Brother Lin…”
“Your Five Elents Divine Art is so extraordinary…”
“That Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch just took one hit and nearly suffered a severe injury that left him close to death, that’s too incredible.”
Lin Jing then helplessly spread his hands:
“This spell is from our predecessors, if I were to use the Five Elents Divine Art myself, I probably wouldn’t even scratch his fur.”
Yan Wanfei was speechless for a mont.
anwhile, after pondering for a while, Holaw Three Rivers suddenly spoke up:
“Five Elents…”
“While reviewing ancient texts before, I seem to have co across ntions of a cultivator in the Thousand Islands Domain who was proficient in Five Elents spells a long ti ago.”
“However, it’s been too long, and not much record of him has been left.”
“And that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, it seems he may have been sealed for so ti because I’ve never heard of him before either…”
Following that, there was a mont of silence.
After a while, Lu Youjiu spoke up, continuing to say,
“Regarding what the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch said, I’m sure you all heard, he definitely won’t let things rest, and as soon as he fully recovers, he will surely co to trouble us.”
“Do you have any thoughts?”
After speaking, Lu Youjiu looked toward Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei, though, of course, his gaze primarily rested on Lin Jing.
No sooner had Lu Youjiu’s words fallen than Yan Wanfei blurted out:
“Brother Ji, you think too highly of , what ideas could I have? If that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch dares to co, then we just have to face him…”
Everyone expected no different from Yan Wanfei’s response.
Lin Jing, after pondering for a mont, looked at Lu Youjiu and asked,
“Do you know how long it might take that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch to recover?”
Lu Youjiu thought for a mont, then replied,
“Previously he transford into black Demonic Qi, originally in a state without a body, just a Soul Spirit. Afterward, you detonated the Five Elents spell remnants within the grey mist, so he has been significantly injured, even his Soul Spirit is damaged.”
“To fully recover, even at the fastest, it will take a few years. If it’s slower, it might even take decades or a century.”
“And another thing…”
“His Divine Sense is simply too strong, unlike anything a Nascent Soul Cultivator should possess.”
“I highly suspect that before this, he might have been a Divine Transformation Cultivator; it’s just that soone used so special ans to make his cultivation fall to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Upon hearing Lu Youjiu’s words, Lin Jing’s brow furrowed, and he murmured,
“Divine Transformation Cultivator…”
If it was indeed a Divine Transformation Cultivator, then they were likely all in a difficult situation.
“Are you certain?” Lin Jing lifted his head and looked at Lu Youjiu.
Lu Youjiu shook his head and said,
“It’s just a guess, we still need to verify it.”
“If we can find the records of that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch’s life, that would be even better…”
“Hmm…” Lin Jing nodded his head.
A suspected Divinity Transformation Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, even having disappeared for many years, would still be relatively easy to investigate.
Afterward.
Lin Jing looked at Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers and asked again.
“Brother Lu, Brother San He…”
“What are your thoughts for what we should do next?”
Previously, Lu Youjiu asked the two of them to discuss matters, implying that he and Holaw Three Rivers had already talked.
Lu Youjiu then spoke,
“Actually, before you two returned, San He and I had already had a discussion.”
“We called you here so that we could all discuss together and see if you had any better suggestions.”
“Also…”
“Since we are all in the sa boat now, as long as the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch is not dealt with, we will always face a threat.”
“Therefore, we need to unite in order to stand against the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
Lin Jing nodded in agreent after hearing that.
Lu Youjiu was right; as long as the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch remained a threat, they were always in danger.
Yan Wanfei then stood up to express his stance,
“Brother Ji, just tell what to do, and I will obey your orders. Even if you ask to slay the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch himself, I won’t even frown.”
Lu Youjiu, undiplomatically, said directly to Yan Wanfei,
“Right now, you just need to sit tight and listen. When it’s ti for you to do sothing, I will naturally arrange it.”
“Oh, alright…” Yan Wanfei imdiately sat down obediently.
Lin Jing also spoke up to show his agreent,
“Brother Lu is right; with the threat of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, if we are split apart, we’re likely to face more danger.”
Lu Youjiu nodded slightly, then continued,
“So, before you ca back…”
“San He and I discussed and decided to take over Li Yan Island right away, then get ready to face the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
