Chapter 656: Chapter 281 Li Mingwu’s Calculations_2 Chapter 656: Chapter 281 Li Mingwu’s Calculations_2 “I’ve stayed by his side for quite some time, and I couldn’t know him better,”

“Moreover, Island Master Li, you also know that before discovering I was your man, Bai Yi had always trusted me a lot.”

“Even the affair of the Five Elements Cave Mansion was all arranged by me under your instructions.”

“Therefore, I can be certain that he definitely didn’t have time to prepare, nor did he have the ability to open the Wood Hall beforehand.”

Having heard Ling Yi’s analysis, Li Mingwu nodded.

Ling Yi had made reasonable points, and they were factual.

But…

Li Mingwu still felt there was something he was overlooking.

He then lowered his head, beginning to contemplate.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mingwu suddenly raised his head and then said to Ling Yi:

“Ling Yi.”

“Do you think it’s possible for any of the others who entered the Five Elements Cave Mansion with us that day?”

“For instance…”

“Lin Jing, the one who cultivates the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.”

“After all, it was in the Five Elements Cave Mansion, and he cultivates the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.

It’s possible that his technique has its own wonders, which could help him enter the Five Elements Wood Hall ahead of time.”

“Also…”

“Didn’t you say that Lin Jing has been missing for over twenty years?”

“And he still has not been found to this day.”

After listening, Ling Yi immediately responded:

“Island Master Li.”

“I was just about to discuss this matter with you.”

“Today, at the trade fair, I saw Lin Jing.”

“Oh?”

“You saw him?” Li Mingwu looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi nodded and then continued:

“Yes.”

“Lin Jing has somehow gained the support of the Yan Family.”

“At the trade fair, the Yan Family’s ancestor openly declared his protection over him.

He even got his good friend, Divine Toad, involved.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mingwu frowned:

“What exactly did he do to gain favor with the Yan Family?

Do you know?”

Ling Yi then said:

“What he exactly did, I do not know.”

“However, from their conversation, it seems that Lin Jing is also a Fifth Grade Alchemist, and it appears he helped the Yan Family with alchemy.”

As he spoke, Ling Yi’s tone shifted:

“Oh, right!”

“There’s one more thing…”

“The Jade Soul Algae you wanted me to trade with the Yan Family’s ancestor, I couldn’t get it.”

Saying so, Ling Yi took out the jade box from the Space Ring and then handed it to Li Mingwu.

Li Mingwu looked at the jade box and then took it with his hand:

“If it wasn’t secured, it doesn’t matter.

It was just a test in any case.”

“The injury to my Soul Spirit is almost healed, and once I’m healed, I can afford to delay a little longer and then begin the next plan.”

After speaking, Li Mingwu turned his attention back to Ling Yi and said:

“Since Lin Jing has returned, when the time comes, dedicate some attention to him and see if he displays any unusual behavior.”

“Also…”

“I think what you said is correct, our main suspect should still be the Demon Lord Wan Mo.”

“Although Demon Lord Wan Mo and Bai Yi do not usually interfere with each other, they are allies.”

“Most importantly, Demon Lord Wan Mo still possesses the Five Elements Water Command that he snatched from us, and both of them have Five Elements Command Tokens, and it is quite possible they have three.”

“If they then pull in one more person, and if they form an alliance of three, they will pose a huge threat to me when I enter the Five Elements Ruins with them.”

“Therefore, I must break this situation.”

There are a total of five Five Elements Command Tokens, and only those who carry these tokens can use them to enter the Five Elements Ruins.

If out of these five, three people form an alliance, it will be a tremendous threat to the remaining two.

And these Five Elements Ruins, one must enter at all costs.

Because inside the Five Elements Ruins, there reside Five Elements True Spirits, and Li Mingwu, after a lifetime of effort, has already gathered four Five Elements True Spirits, now only lacking the last one.

Once he gathers the fifth, he can coalesce the Five Elements and step into the Solidifying Body Realm.

Hence, he must go to the Five Elements Ruins.
