Chapter 726 (1/2)
Chapter 726: Chapter 321: The Awakening of the Yan Family’s Ancestor_2 Chapter 726: Chapter 321: The Awakening of the Yan Family’s Ancestor_2 But just as the two of them had made plans, Bai Yi, while tracking the person, stumbled upon a perfect opportunity and acted without even notifying the Yan Family Patriarch.
This action inadvertently alerted the followers of the two Seaheart Elders on Seaheart Island, even drawing the attention of one cultivator who used a special Magical Treasure to detect the aura of their Five Elements Command Tokens.
For ordinary cultivators in the Water Element Realm, the Five Elements Command Tokens might be unknown.
But the followers of the two Seaheart Elders, especially those above the Nascent Soul Stage, had more or less heard of the Five Elements Command Tokens.
They also knew that to leave, one must possess a Five Elements Command Token.
Thus,
under such circumstances, the pursuit of the duo by Seaheart Island had begun.
Bai Yi’s unauthorized action had already displeased the Yan Family Patriarch.
However, after the two of them regrouped, Bai Yi’s apologies and explanations had somewhat eased the Yan Family Patriarch’s resentment.
This matter might have been settled there, with no further issues.
However, it was what happened later that truly enraged the Yan Family Patriarch.
While speaking, the Yan Family Patriarch yelled angrily,
“Bai Yi is truly shameless.
If it weren’t for that dire moment, I might never have seen his true colors.”

The Yan Family Patriarch then said,
“Originally, even though we were not a match for that Solidifying Body cultivator, if we had joined forces, leaving might have been possible.”
“But that scoundrel, in order to save his own life, ran off by himself, and even set me up right before he left, attempting to use me to stall the enemy so he could escape.”
“If it weren’t for that setup, which caused me to use up a lifesaving method, I wouldn’t have been helpless when facing the Evil Soul later.”
Lin Jing, upon hearing this, fell silent as well.
Indeed, it’s hard to truly know someone just by their appearance.
Lin Jing had dealt with Bai Yi a few times, and Bai Yi had seemed decent, not someone who would go to any lengths for his own benefit.
But at the crucial moment, he ultimately revealed his true nature.
“So what does senior plan to do next?”
The Yan Family Patriarch replied,
“Next, we definitely need to prepare to leave.”
After saying this, the Yan Family Patriarch added with a cold tone,
“However…”
“before that, I definitely need to find Bai Yi.”
“Since he set me up at a crucial moment, I naturally won’t let it go, and must make him pay the price.”
Lin Jing nodded upon hearing this,
“Since he did that, he must bear the corresponding consequences.”
After saying this, Lin Jing continued to question the Yan Family Patriarch:
“Senior…”
“Since our possession of the Five Elements Command Tokens has already been revealed, are we still in danger?”
The Yan Family Patriarch then said,
“It’s a bit problematic, but it’s not that serious.”
“Didn’t I tell you before, that Seaheart Island has a special Magical Treasure that can detect the aura of the Five Elements Command Tokens?”
“You don’t need to worry now.”
“In their attempt to track me, they employed that Magical Treasure, but I have already destroyed it.”
“Additionally, the two Seaheart Elders are currently in seclusion, reportedly practicing a special Cultivation Technique, and they aren’t expected to come out any time soon.”
“As long as we’re a bit cautious, there should be no problem.”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“That’s good…”
…
…
Afterward.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing said to the Yan Family Patriarch,
“Senior!”
“Aside from the Five Elements Command Tokens, do you know of any other method to leave these Five Elements Ruins?”
The Yan Family Patriarch shook his head and said,
“Aside from the Five Elements Command Tokens, there isn’t a second method to leave these Five Elements Ruins.”
Lin Jing nodded and then spoke again:
“I want to take someone with me from here.”
The Yan Family Patriarch looked at Lin Jing:
“You’re talking about Changyun Yuanlei.”
Lin Jing nodded:
“Changyun Yuanlei has some connections with me, even with sisters Yan Xing and Yan Yue.”
“Connections with Xing’er and Yue’er?
What’s the story?” the Yan Family Patriarch asked incredulously.
“Previously, sisters Yan Xing and Yan Yue had been abducted, then we rescued them, and three persons, including myself, escorted them back to Spirit Rock Island.”
The Yan Family Patriarch said,
“I’m aware of this.”
“Aren’t those three your friends?”
Lin Jing nodded:
