Chapter 728 (2/2)

Judging from the magical fluctuations coming from ahead, the people in conflict were still some distance away from him.

The Shadow Escape Flying Boat made very little noise when traveling, so it was likely they hadn’t noticed him.

Without any delay, Lin Jing then stowed away the Flying Boat and then entered the System Space.

Given the uncertainty of the situation ahead, it was naturally prudent to investigate first.

Following that,

within the System Space, Lin Jing activated Observation Mode and probed toward what was ahead.

As his viewpoint moved through layers of fog, Lin Jing soon saw two figures in the distance.

As it turned out by coincidence,

these two were precisely the Yan Family Patriarch and Bai Yi.

At that moment, the Yan Family Patriarch wore a cold expression as he looked coolly at Bai Yi.

Whereas Bai Yi looked pale, with his aura also seeming unstable.

Bai Yi frowned deeply, looked at the Yan Family Patriarch, and then spoke,

“Yan Yujiang…”

“Regarding the previous incident, it was an emergency, and I had no choice.

Indeed, I did wrong by you.”

“But you have been chasing me for quite some time, what exactly will it take for you to let me go?”

The Yan Family Patriarch looked at Bai Yi and snorted coldly,

“Hmph!”

“If you want me to spare you, then first hand over that Five Elements Earth Command you have on you.”

“As long as you give up the Five Elements Earth Command, I will let bygones be bygones and spare your life.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s face immediately darkened,

“Impossible!”

He rebutted straightaway,

“Without the Five Elements Earth Command, I can never leave this place for the rest of my life.

You are sentencing me to death.”

The Yan Family Patriarch then spoke in a cold voice,

“To spare your life is already an act of mercy on my part.

If you refuse to hand it over, then I’ll have to take it from you personally.”

“Do you really think, with your strength, you can escape from my clutches?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s expression became even more gloomy, and then he spoke in a deep voice,

“Yan Yujiang, I admit that I am indeed no match for you.”

“But if you truly insist on pushing me to a corner, then I will have no choice but to fight to the death with you.”

The Yan Family Patriarch remained expressionless upon hearing this.

But on his body, countless streams of cyan-colored aura had already started to circulate, clearly ready for battle at any moment.

Seeing the Yan Family Patriarch like this, Bai Yi also mobilized the spiritual power within his body, ready to respond at any time, while simultaneously saying,

“I had heard before that Yan Yujiang was magnanimous and often conducted himself with all the grace of a gentleman.

It seems now those claims were unfounded.”

The Yan Family Patriarch snorted coldly and said,

“Humph!”

“I, Yan Yujiang, am most generous to my friends, but from the moment you betrayed me, we have been enemies.”

“As for you, Bai Yi…”

“I had also heard that you were an honorable and well-known figure, known by everyone as a righteous man.

Now it seems, your righteousness is nothing but an empty reputation.”

As the words of the Yan Family Patriarch fell, Bai Yi wanted to argue back, opened his mouth, but ended up saying nothing.

Although Bai Yi did not respond, another voice came at this time:

“Yan Daoist friend, you have misunderstood him.

Ɲονǥᴑ.сο

Bai Yi was truly a righteous man before.”

Hearing this voice made Lin Jing involuntarily startle.

Because the speaker was none other than Li Mingwu.

Unexpectedly, he had appeared here.

As the sound of his voice faded, two figures then emerged from within the white fog.

One was hunched over, with a withered complexion.

The other was dressed like a Taoist.

These two were Li Mingwu and Long Daoist.

As the two emerged from the fog, the Yan Family Patriarch and Bai Yi both instantly became guarded.

However, Li Mingwu seemed unconcerned and spoke directly to the Yan Family Patriarch,

“Yan Daoist friend, you really have misunderstood this Bai Yi.”

“To tell the truth, Bai Yi indeed is a man of integrity.”

“Otherwise, after my disappearance, with the support of a host of good friends, he would not have been able to seize Yue Tian Island with lightning speed.”
