Chapter 675: Chapter 291 Alliance Formation Chapter 675: Chapter 291 Alliance Formation Lin Jing had just dealt with the man in black when Yue Qiniang, hearing the commotion, arrived belatedly and rushed over at this mont.
Upon her arrival, Yue Qiniang didn’t find any trace of the enemy.
She only saw two demon cultivators beside Lin Jing, and she recognized one of them.
“It’s you…” Yue Qiniang said in surprise upon seeing Li Tangyu.
Previously, in Lin Jing’s absence, Li Tangyu had lent a hand to Li Yan Island.
Yue Qiniang had been present then and naturally recognized Li Tangyu.
At this ti, Lin Jing introduced him to Yue Qiniang:
“Qiniang, this is my friend, Li Tangyu, and he is also Qing Qing’s brother.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Qiniang also instantly understood.
...
No wonder this man had co to help Li Yan Island before.
So that was the reason.
Following that,
Lin Jing turned to look at Li Tangyu and the woman beside him.
This woman, the fifth disciple of the Demon Lord, possessed cultivation far more formidable than Li Tangyu’s.
Li Tangyu’s cultivation had just entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, while the woman had already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul.
For so reason, her injuries were much more severe than those of Li Tangyu.
Li Tangyu then spoke up, introducing her to Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin!”
“This is Bai Zhi, my partner I ntioned to you before, and she is also the daughter of the Demon Lord behind the black market of Nanshan Market.”
“Back in the Nanming Domain, we had encountered each other several tis, but at that ti I was unaware of her identity.”
“It was only when we t again on Wan Mo Island that I ca to know of it.”
“She ended up on Wan Mo Island due to so unexpected changes and beca the seventh disciple of Demon Lord Wan Mo.”
“The Demon Lord’s daughter?” Lin Jing couldn’t help but look at Bai Zhi.
Seeing Lin Jing’s gaze, Bai Zhi removed the veil from her face to reveal her true appearance.
Bai Zhi was very beautiful, with a cool and distant deanor.
Perhaps because of her injuries, her face was sowhat pale.
“Thank you for the rescue.” Bai Zhi said, giving a fist and palm salute to Lin Jing.
Bai Zhi’s voice was cold, and her tone was flat, as if it were her natural state.
Lin Jing returned the gesture with a slight smile:
“There’s no need…”
Having said that, Lin Jing didn’t pay any further attention to Bai Zhi but directly addressed Li Tangyu:
“This isn’t a convenient place.
Let’s head back first.”
Li Tangyu nodded:
“All right.”
Afterward, Lin Jing and Li Tangyu, along with a few others, flew toward Li Yan Island.
Upon returning to Li Yan Island, Lin Jing instructed the others to disperse.
Because of Bai Zhi’s severe injuries, Li Tangyu entrusted her to Li Qingqing to take her for treatnt.
Only Li Tangyu and Lin Jing remained and proceeded to Lin Jing’s courtyard on the mountaintop.
“I just heard…
is it true that Demon Lord Wan Mo is dead?”
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Lin Jing brought up the subject.
Demon Lord Wan Mo was one of the three great island masters of the Thousand Islands Domain, ruling over Wan Mo Island.
He also possessed cultivation at the level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
With such cultivation, how could he suddenly fall?
And who could have been responsible?
ƝονǤ0.ᴄօ
Lin Jing, unclear about the cause, naturally turned to Li Tangyu for information.
Li Tangyu nodded and confird:
“Yes, he’s dead.”
Although Li Tangyu was the seventh disciple of Demon Lord Wan Mo, he had rarely t with the Demon Lord.
He didn’t feel much attachnt to the Demon Lord Wan Mo.
The title of disciple of the Demon Lord was in na only.
Demon Lord Wan Mo seldom involved himself with his disciples, letting them compete amongst themselves until one stood out and caught his eye.
Only then would the Demon Lord show interest.
Before that, even if one of his disciples died, it wouldn’t matter much to the Demon Lord; he would simply replace them.
As with the previous Shadow Demon Lord, upon his death, Li Tangyu beca the new disciple of the Demon Lord.
It was precisely because of this, upon the death of Demon Lord Wan Mo, his disciples imdiately dispersed.
…
Lin Jing was puzzled, so he asked Li Tangyu:
“Demon Lord Wan Mo was so powerful, in theory, there aren’t many who could be his match.
Even if he did encounter a strong enemy, if he couldn’t win, he should have been able to escape, right?”
“How did he fall?”
Li Tangyu replied:
“He was plotted against by the Island Master of True Dragon Island…”
“The Island Master of True Dragon Island ca to Wan Mo Island under the pretense of a visit, but at a critical mont, he suddenly launched a surprise attack.
The Demon Lord, caught off guard, fell for it.”
“Furthermore, after the successful ambush, another cultivator with stronger cultivation, suspected to be at the Nascent Soul Peak stage, appeared.
Together, they managed to kill the Demon Lord.”
Hearing this, a chill went down Lin Jing’s spine, and he imdiately thought of Li Mingwu.
In the Southern Outer Sea, there weren’t that many cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage, and within the Thousand Islands Domain, cultivators at the Nascent Soul Peak were even rarer.
Incidentally, Li Mingwu was one of them.
If the person who acted was indeed Li Mingwu, the situation could be quite ominous.
So, Lin Jing promptly inquired:
“The strong elder you just ntioned who’s even stronger than the Island Master of True Dragon Island, do you know his na?”
“And…”
“Why did they kill Demon Lord Wan Mo?
Did they reveal their motive?”
Li Tangyu nodded and explained:
“When their battle began, Bai Zhi was a bit closer and overheard so of their conversation.”
“That Divinity Transformation Peak elder is likely called Li Mingwu.”
“According to Bai Zhi, the reason they moved against the Demon Lord seed to be related to so token?”
“It seems that the Demon Lord had a token in his possession that they wanted.
So, they joined forces, killed the Demon Lord, and took the token from him.”
