Chapter 655 (2/2)

He bid his farewells to the group and left Bihai City.

After leaving Bihai City, Lin Jing immediately summoned the Shadow Escape Flying Boat and headed straight for Li Yan Island.

His trip to the Nanming Domain this time indeed lasted quite a while.

He hadn’t been back in years, and he was unsure how Li Yan Island was faring now.

Thinking thus, Lin Jing sped up and flew straight towards Li Yan Island.

…

Not far from Bihai Island, there was an island.

Although it’s close to Bihai City, the small island isn’t very large and lacks cultivation resources; even the population is sparse.

Ordinary cultivators flying by would not even bother to give it a glance.

Yet at the mountainside of this inconspicuous island, there was a very unremarkable and simple straw hut.

This straw hut was rooted halfway up the mountain, blending with the surrounding woods.

If one wasn’t paying attention, it would be difficult to notice.

And even if it were discovered, few would care.

After all, it’s just an extremely simple straw hut with nothing remarkable about it, likely constructed by mortals who had strayed onto the island, naturally not drawing any cultivators’ attention.

The stranger stood respectfully in front of Li Mingwu.

Li Mingwu, looking at the stranger before him, then said:

“Ling Yi!”

“Tell me your thoughts.”

The stranger bowed and replied to Li Mingwu:

“Island Master Li!”

“Based on what I observed today, the Island Master of True Dragon Island is unaware of the affair regarding the Five Elements Wood Command.

“It shouldn’t have been him who took it.”

It turns out this stranger was actually True Person Ling Yi.

After listening, Li Mingwu pondered for a moment, then spoke again, asking:

“Then who do you think is most likely to have obtained the Five Elements Wood Command?

“Bai Yi?

“Or the Demon Lord Wan Mo?”

True Person Ling Yi then gave a bow to Li Mingwu and expressed his opinion:

“I think…”

“Demon Lord Wan Mo is more likely.”

Having said that, True Person Ling Yi began to explain:

“Previously at the Five Elements Cave Mansion, he had used a peculiar Magical Treasure to snatch away our Five Elements Water Command.

“It’s possible that he had this treasure coincidentally, or he could have prepared in advance, and maybe he even had a way to enter the Wood Hall beforehand.”

“As for Bai Yi…”

Here, True Person Ling Yi paused momentarily, then continued:
