Chapter 675 (2/2)

Demon Lord Wan Mo was one of the three great island masters of the Thousand Islands Domain, ruling over Wan Mo Island.

He also possessed cultivation at the level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

With such cultivation, how could he suddenly fall?

And who could have been responsible?

Lin Jing, unclear about the cause, naturally turned to Li Tangyu for information.

Li Tangyu nodded and confirmed:

“Yes, he’s dead.”

Although Li Tangyu was the seventh disciple of Demon Lord Wan Mo, he had rarely met with the Demon Lord.

He didn’t feel much attachment to the Demon Lord Wan Mo.

The title of disciple of the Demon Lord was in name only.

Demon Lord Wan Mo seldom involved himself with his disciples, letting them compete amongst themselves until one stood out and caught his eye.

Only then would the Demon Lord show interest.

Before that, even if one of his disciples died, it wouldn’t matter much to the Demon Lord; he would simply replace them.

As with the previous Shadow Demon Lord, upon his death, Li Tangyu became the new disciple of the Demon Lord.

It was precisely because of this, upon the death of Demon Lord Wan Mo, his disciples immediately dispersed.

…

Lin Jing was puzzled, so he asked Li Tangyu:

“Demon Lord Wan Mo was so powerful, in theory, there aren’t many who could be his match.

Even if he did encounter a strong enemy, if he couldn’t win, he should have been able to escape, right?”

“How did he fall?”

Li Tangyu replied:

“He was plotted against by the Island Master of True Dragon Island…”

“The Island Master of True Dragon Island came to Wan Mo Island under the pretense of a visit, but at a critical moment, he suddenly launched a surprise attack.

The Demon Lord, caught off guard, fell for it.”

“Furthermore, after the successful ambush, another cultivator with stronger cultivation, suspected to be at the Nascent Soul Peak stage, appeared.

Together, they managed to kill the Demon Lord.”

Hearing this, a chill went down Lin Jing’s spine, and he immediately thought of Li Mingwu.

In the Southern Outer Sea, there weren’t that many cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage, and within the Thousand Islands Domain, cultivators at the Nascent Soul Peak were even rarer.

Incidentally, Li Mingwu was one of them.

If the person who acted was indeed Li Mingwu, the situation could be quite ominous.

So, Lin Jing promptly inquired:

“The strong elder you just mentioned who’s even stronger than the Island Master of True Dragon Island, do you know his name?”

“And…”

“Why did they kill Demon Lord Wan Mo?

Did they reveal their motive?”

Li Tangyu nodded and explained:

“When their battle began, Bai Zhi was a bit closer and overheard some of their conversation.”

“That Divinity Transformation Peak elder is likely called Li Mingwu.”

“According to Bai Zhi, the reason they moved against the Demon Lord seemed to be related to some token?”

“It seems that the Demon Lord had a token in his possession that they wanted.

So, they joined forces, killed the Demon Lord, and took the token from him.”
