Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Chapter 182 Regional Division of the Thousand Islands Domain (2/2)
“on the contrary, if outsiders seek to forcibly take over the islands, the three major islands will provide protection.”
having heard this, lin jing finally understood.
the territorial division was actually a strategy to strengthen the management of the thousand islands domain by the three major islands.
xue yilin continued to speak:
“lin daoyou…”
“now that you have reached the nascent soul stage, you count as having stepped into the upper echelons within the thousand islands domain.”
“in two months, come to yue tian island to attend the territorial division conference. at that time, all nascent soul cultivators from our thousand islands domain will be present.”
“moreover, the island masters of the three great islands will be there in person to carry out the division.”
after pondering for a moment, lin jing nodded and said:
“alright…”
“since that is the case, i will definitely head over in two months.”
at this, xue yilin returned to his usual smiling demeanor, cupped his fists towards lin jing, and said:
“then at that time, i will await lin daoyou on yue tian island.”
lin jing also cupped his fists in response to xue yilin:
“rest assured, xue daoyou, i will certainly go.”
xue yilin said with a smile, “that’s very good…”
at that moment, lin jing, puzzled, asked xue yilin:
“xue daoyou, if someone disagrees with this territorial division, what will happen?”
xue yilin’s eyes, though squinted, flashed coldly as he replied directly:
“this time, the division of power is personally ordered and overseen by the island masters of the three great islands.”
“if someone truly disagrees, they must either leave the thousand islands domain or… never be able to leave again.”
“i think nobody would seek discomfort for themselves by opposing the island masters at the divinity transformation stage.”
“lin daoyou, you agree, don’t you…”
lin jing nodded:
“indeed…”
……
xue yilin said to lin jing:
“alright…”
“lin daoyou, night lin and i were merely passing through this place, but we have other matters to attend to now, so we shall take our leave.”
“lin daoyou, farewell!”
at this moment, night lin, who had remained silent up until now, also clasped his hands and said to lin jing:
“lin daoyou, farewell!”
lin jing, in turn, clasped his hands and said to the two:
“since you both have matters to attend to, i won’t keep you any longer.”
“xue daoyou, night lin…”
“farewell!”
just as they were about to leave, xue yilin suddenly turned his head and asked lin jing:
“lin daoyou, jin jue just mentioned that you practice the long-lost five elements divine art, is that correct?”
lin jing had fought jin’ao earlier, and since they were not far from each other, they might have seen him use the five elements divine art.
therefore, lin jing did not have much to hide.
lin jing looked at the still-smiling xue yilin and nodded:
“yes, i indeed practice the five elements divine art.”
“previously, i acquired this spell by chance from an enemy…”
“may i know what advice xue daoyou has to offer?”
xue yilin waved his hands repeatedly, his face still smiling as he said:
“lin daoyou, you give me too much credit; i dare not presume to teach…”
“it’s just that i may need to ask for a small favor from you in the future.”
“of course, for requesting your help, i will surely offer a reward that will satisfy you.”
upon hearing this, lin jing asked casually:
“xue daoyou, may i know what kind of help you need?”
xue yilin said:
“it’s not yet certain at this moment. i will tell you once it’s confirmed.”
“of course, it will entirely depend on whether lin daoyou is willing. even if you decide not to help, i won’t bear any grudge.”
“well, with that said…”
“lin daoyou, we shall meet again.”
without waiting for lin jing to answer, xue yilin and night lin left the place together.
and once again, lin jing was left alone in this place…
