Chapter 731 (2/2)

After examining the token closely and verifying that there were no issues,

The Yan Family ancestor directly said to Bai Yi:

“You may go now.”

“I can hold them off for no more than a quarter of an hour; after a quarter of an hour, I will leave.

Whether you can escape or not will be up to your fate.”

Bai Yi nodded his head, then prepared to leave.

However, just at that moment…

Li Mingwu, who was in front, had also finished pondering and seemed to have made up his mind.

The aura surrounding him surged, pressuring both the Yan Family ancestor and Bai Yi.

Seeing Li Mingwu taking action, the Long Daoist wasted no words and immediately cooperated, blocking the path of Bai Yi’s escape.

Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene became tense and charged.

Seeing this, the Yan Family ancestor’s brows slightly furrowed, and then he directly addressed Li Mingwu:

“Do you really think you can hold me back?”

At this, Li Mingwu laughed, replying:

“Heh heh…”

“Yan Yujiang, you truly live up to your reputation; I was almost deceived by you…”

After speaking, Li Mingwu looked provocatively at the Yan Family ancestor, then spoke directly:

“If you want to leave today, I certainly won’t stop you.”

“But Bai Yi cannot leave today.”

After hearing this, the Yan Family ancestor’s brow twitched lightly and he looked at Li Mingwu, saying:

“Bai Yi is now half-disabled and thus can no longer pose a threat to you.”

“Moreover, I’ve taken his Five Elements Earth Command; unless something unforeseen happens, he won’t be able to leave the Water Element Realm.”

“Even under these circumstances, you still refuse to spare his life?”

Li Mingwu then directly said:

“I said, Bai Yi must die today.”

“Either you hand over Bai Yi and that Space Ring, or you leave right now.”

“But if you choose to leave now, I won’t stand in your way, yet as for Bai Yi, I will never allow this man to go.”

After hearing this, the Yan Family ancestor first glanced at Bai Yi beside him, then turned his head back to face Li Mingwu.

“It seems that you are intent on fighting me today.”

Li Mingwu then smiled, saying:

“If you want to leave, I will not stop you and indeed cannot stop you; but if you wish to fight, then naturally, I can accompany you in battle.”

By the Yan Family ancestor’s demeanor, it appeared that he was unwilling to abandon Bai Yi.

Observing the developments, Lin Jing felt quite perplexed.

Logically, if the Yan Family ancestor wanted to leave, Li Mingwu and the other surely couldn’t stop him.

Moreover, with the Space Ring already in his possession, couldn’t the Yan Family ancestor leave whenever he wished?

But by the looks of it, the Yan Family ancestor seemed to have reservations, seemingly determined to save Bai Yi.
