Chapter 597 (2/2)

Lin Jing turned to the young cultivator and said,

“Yun Long…”

“Why do you continue to hide?

Do you think it still holds any meaning?”

“Why not take off your mask?”

The young cultivator spoke,

“Lin Jing…”

“I indeed underestimated you at first.

I never expected that in such a short span of time, you would advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“Your pace of advancement is truly frightening.”

As the young cultivator spoke, he slowly removed the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

It was none other than Yun Long.

Seeing Yun Long removing his mask, the other cultivator beside him, his hair peppered with grey, also took off his mask, revealing his true countenance.

To Lin Jing’s expectations, it was indeed Ancestor Yun from the Yun Family.

After Ancestor Yun removed his mask, he scrutinized Lin Jing thoroughly before exclaiming,

“I’ve heard from Yun Long…”

“He said that fifty years ago, he had met you when you were still a Junior Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.”

“It is unexpected that in merely fifty years, you’ve ascended from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“Such a speed of cultivation is unheard of, and it is truly terrifying!”

“It’s just such a pity that a genius like you is our enemy!”

At this point, Ancestor Yun spoke once more,

“If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who took action against us back in Nanshan Immortal City, weren’t you?”

“That’s right!” Lin Jing nodded.

There was no need to conceal it anymore at this stage.

Lin Jing turned his gaze towards the two men.

While Yun Long’s eyes were filled with hatred,

Ancestor Yun’s eyes showed astonishment and a mix of regret.

In their gaze, there was not the slightest hint of fear.

Back in Nanshan Immortal City, Ancestor Yun couldn’t withstand a single move from Lin Jing, but now he was able to guess this and yet remain so composed…

Lin Jing then said,

“The two of you, you have a contingency plan…”

Ancestor Yun nodded and replied,

“We are here…

“In fact, for you.

You are a rare talent, and even though I have cultivated for several hundred years more than you, I have to admit that I am not your match.”

“Your current strength, it should be in the late Nascent Soul Stage, indeed terrifying…”

“Just a few decades and you have already reached this point…”

“Since we have our suspicions and wish to deal with you, naturally we have prepared a contingency plan.”

Just as Ancestor Yun finished speaking, a very powerful aura suddenly emerged from behind the two of them.

“Their contingency plan is me!”

The voice arrived, but the person was not yet in sight.

This overwhelming aura was much stronger than Lin Jing’s.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown.

He never expected that he would ultimately have to confront him…

This powerful aura was not unfamiliar to Lin Jing; the newcomer was of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

And the only one who could appear here at this time, other than the Divinity Transformation Stage Ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect, was unlikely to be anyone else.

The person Lin Jing least wanted to encounter now was precisely the Divinity Transformation Stage Ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

Right from the start, since Lin Jing had learned about the conflict between the Li Family and the Yun Family in Sea-Watch City and its possible connection with the Nanming Immortal Sect from a cultivator of the Heavenly Secrets Association…

Lin Jing had been wary that this worst-case scenario might occur.

But now, the Ancestor from the Nanming Immortal Sect had truly appeared…

When that voice settled, an old man with a somber expression and a hunched body, appearing weak and frail, stood before Lin Jing.

However, the aura emanating from him was exceedingly astonishing.

Even Lin Jing couldn’t help but furrow his brow and be on guard upon seeing this old man.

As soon as the old man arrived, Yun Long and Ancestor Yun quickly bowed and respectfully addressed the old man,

“Ancestor…”

“This is Lin Jing.

In just fifty years, he advanced from the Qi Refinement Realm to the late Nascent Soul Stage.”

“With such a rapid advancement, there must be a great secret upon him.”

At this point, the old man lifted his eyes, gave Lin Jing a glance, and then spoke,

“He looks indeed quite young…”

The voice of the Nanming Ancestor was hoarse, sounding like stones grinding on the ground.

Yet, when the voice reached one’s ears, it felt like a demon’s whisper, terribly uncomfortable to hear…
