Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 223: The Little Girls Background _2 (2/2)

“You’re too courteous, fellow Daoist, there’s no need for such formalities…”

Then Ye Yun continued to say to Lin Jing:

“This is Uncle Lian, who used to be a guard of the Fang Market, and he was very close to both my uncle and Lin Jue’s grandfather.”

“It’s just that Uncle Lian was transferred away from Bihai Island when we were very young, to another place.”

“It was not until today that we met again.”

At this point, Uncle Lian spoke up as well:

“I only came back two years ago…”

“Originally, after returning, I wanted to look for you guys, but ended up learning about the downfall of your uncle and others, and I couldn’t find any traces of you two…”

“Who would have thought that today, by such a coincidence, we would meet, and now seeing that you both are all right, I can rest assured.”

Having said that, Uncle Lian once again asked Ye Yun:

“How did you two get into a conflict with people from the Moon Demon Sect?”

“Uncle Lian, here’s what happened…” Lin Jue then began to recount the incident that had just occurred.

Soon after Lin Jue finished speaking, Uncle Lian looked at the little girl and couldn’t help but sigh:

“Ah…”

“The Moon Demon Sect is not to be trifled with, and now that you’ve clashed with them, you must be very careful.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s brows inevitably furrowed:

“What’s the background of the Moon Demon Sect, are they very powerful?”

Uncle Lian nodded and said to Lin Jing:

“The Moon Demon Sect only rose after the annihilation of the Black Shark Gang. It is said that their Sect Hierarch is a Demon Cultivator from the Northern Devil Region, with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.”

“When it really comes down to it, compared to some other forces, the Moon Demon Sect doesn’t actually count as very strong.”

“But it’s that Sect Hierarch of the Moon Demon Sect…”

At this point, Uncle Lian’s own brows furrowed even more.

“Uncle Lian, what about the Moon Demon Sect Leader?” Lin Jue asked.

Uncle Lian continued:

“The leader of the Moon Demon Sect is extremely sly and vindictive, punishing anyone who crosses the sect with relentless retaliation.”

“And…”

“He never acts according to common sense. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, when facing enemies, he never engages in an upfront battle but always uses surprise attacks and other despicable schemes.”

“This manner of fighting causes headaches for other powers…”

“Moreover, he possesses an extremely powerful Magical Treasure, so even when facing Divine Transformation Cultivators stronger than himself, he can escape unharmed with the help of this treasure.”

“It is precisely because he is so difficult to deal with that many powers choose to keep the Moon Demon Sect at arm’s length.”

“And then there is that little girl…” as Uncle Lian spoke, he looked toward the little girl at the stall.

“They were forced by the Moon Demon Sect to take refuge in Bihai City.”

“But I suppose they won’t be able to hide for much longer.”

“That little girl’s father was ambushed by the Moon Demon Sect, severely wounded, and has needed to continuously consume Elixir Medicines. It’s been said to have been several years already; probably he won’t hold out much longer.”

“When her father dies, I fear the little girl’s situation will become even more difficult to endure…”

“So that’s how it is…”

“She is truly pitiful.”

After hearing this, Lin Jue looked at the little girl and said with sympathy.

“Doesn’t she have any other family members?”

Uncle Lian then spoke up:

“Yes…”

“She has an uncle, I remember he should be called Yan Xiong, a burly man, who has been constantly traveling far and wide to find a cure for her father’s condition.”

“It’s just that, I’ve made inquiries, and her father was injured by the Moon Demon Sect Leader, and the cure is only in the Sect Leader’s possession…”

“That uncle of hers is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, wanting to find the cure is probably just wishful thinking…”

Upon hearing about Yan Xiong, Lin Jing was suddenly startled and hastily questioned ‘Uncle Lian’:

“What is the name of this little girl’s father, do you know?”

Uncle Lian nodded, then replied:

“This little girl often sets up a stall in the Fang Market, of course, I would take notice, this is definitely something I know.”

“Her father is called Wei Zhengqing…”
