Chapter 792 (2/2)

…

Lin Jing was quick and in less than four hours, he caught up with Lu Youjiu and the others.

After catching up with them, Lin Jing immediately called Lu Youjiu aside and shared the information he had gathered with him.

“Xiao…

After hearing what Lin Jing said, Lu Youjiu’s brows furrowed slightly; he lowered his head, pondering Lin Jing’s words.

A moment later, Lu Youjiu raised his head, looking at Lin Jing and said,

“Actually, I had suspected this matter as well.”

“After all, our route was known by almost no one, and brother Xiao Xu was one of the few who knew…

“Xiao Xu’s family and ours have been as close as kin…”

“So, I have always been reluctant to believe that brother Xiao Xu could be involved.”

“But now it seems there might be more to this matter…”

Having said that, Lu Youjiu looked at Lin Jing and spoke,

“Involving you, Brother Lin, I truly feel sorry.”

Lin Jing then waved his hand and said,

“Brother Lu, you’re being too formal.”

Having said so,

Lin Jing directly took out two Space Rings from his person and handed them to Lu Youjiu:

“These are their Space Rings.

When you have the time to break the seals, you can check them for any clues.”

Lu Youjiu nodded and said,

“With this, I’m much obliged to you, Brother Lin.”

Then, Lu Youjiu took the Space Rings and continued to Lin Jing,

“These two Space Rings are rightfully your spoils of war.

After I have examined them, I’ll return them for you to deal with.”

Lin Jing then spoke:

“There’s no hurry, let Brother Lu review them first…”

Afterward, the two returned to the Flying Boat.

For the time being, they chose not to disclose this matter to anyone else, given its connection to Lu Youjiu’s family affairs.

Subsequently, the group continued on their journey.

Having already agreed on a course, this time, Lin Jing piloted the Flying Boat directly towards the southeast.

…

…

The southeast sea area of the Inner Sea was previously controlled by one of the Inner Sea’s top five forces, the Ancient Alchemy Family of the Lin Family.

Though the Lin Family rarely appeared in public, they held sway over the entire southeast sea area.

With the Lin Family around, no power dared to cause trouble in this part of the Inner Sea.

However.

The Lin Family was unexpectedly struck by tragedy ten thousand years ago.

That sudden calamity caused the Ancient Alchemy Family, which had survived since the Ancient Era, to rapidly decline and eventually, they perished completely.
