Chapter 676 (2/2)

If there were a way to enter the Wood Hall ahead of time, it is likely that True Lord Ling Yi would also be aware of it.

Otherwise, instead of taking action against Demon Lord Wan Mo, they might have very well targeted Bai Yi directly.

If Bai Yi were exempt from suspicion, then Lin Jing, who possessed the Five Elements Cultivation Technique, would become the prime suspect.

Realizing this, Lin Jing immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

…

“Brother Lin!”

“What’s wrong?

Is there something amiss?”

Seeing Lin Jing furrowing his brows in thought since speaking, Li Tangyu couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Jing lifted his head, looking at Li Tangyu and said,

“Besides these, have they revealed anything else?”

Li Tangyu shook his head,

“Due to the intensity of their battle, we didn’t dare to get close.

Bai Zhi was seriously injured because she was caught in the aftermath and couldn’t evade in time.”

“After we hid, we did not stray too far until we saw the Demon Lord fall, and only then, realizing the situation was grim, did we hastily flee Wan Mo Island.”

“However…”

“Even though they killed the Demon Lord, both of them seemed to have sustained serious injuries and did not pursue any of us.”

Hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked,

“Are you saying that both of them were injured?”

Although Li Tangyu was puzzled by Lin Jing’s reaction, he still answered,

“Yes.”

“And from the looks of it, their injuries weren’t light.”

Lin Jing nodded, then fell into thought again.

Currently, Lin Jing had a Five Elements Fire Command and a Five Elements Wood Command—two tokens in hand.

The Island Master of True Dragon Island and Li Mingwu had seemingly formed an alliance, holding both the Five Elements Water Command and the Five Elements Gold Command.

The last Five Elements Earth Command was in Bai Yi’s hands.

Now, with the Island Master of True Dragon Island and Li Mingwu allied, they would definitely search for other tokens.

Thus, the Five Elements Wood Command would naturally be their primary target.

Fortunately, they were currently injured and would likely not come looking in the short term.

However, once they recuperated from their injuries, they would certainly find him.

Lin Jing’s cultivation was probably on par with the Island Master of True Dragon Island, though somewhat inferior to Li Mingwu.

But in terms of actual strength, Lin Jing felt that he had the upper hand over the Island Master of True Dragon Island.

Even facing Li Mingwu, he had the power to fight.

However, facing them both at the same time was a different story.

While he might not necessarily perish, he was sure to gain no advantage.

Furthermore, possessing a Five Elements Command meant having the qualification to enter the Five Elements Ruins, with only five people allowed entry.

If two of these five were allied, they could support each other within the ruins.

They could even pose a threat to others inside.

Since Li Mingwu could form alliances, so too could Lin Jing…

Moments later, Lin Jing looked up at Li Tangyu and said,

“Brother Li!”

“Take Qing Qing and the others and leave Li Yan Island for the time being, lying low.”

Li Tangyu was very puzzled and asked Lin Jing,

“Why so?”

Lin Jing responded,

“The token they are seeking is on me; by now, they must have begun to suspect me.”

“Take Qing Qing and the others away to hide.

I will go seek help.”

“What?”

Li Tangyu was taken aback.

“The token is actually on you…”

Lin Jing nodded,

“Yes, it’s a long story.”

“For now, take Qing Qing and Ye Yun with you, leave Li Yan Island and take refuge in Bihai City.”

“Once I have arranged everything, you can come back.”

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Li Tangyu swiftly nodded,

“Alright.”

With that, Li Tangyu left.

After Li Tangyu departed, Lin Jing had already thought of a strategy.

He held two tokens, so he could afford to give one away in order to form an alliance with someone.

And.

He had already decided on the target of his alliance—

The ancestor of the Yan Family…
