chapter 427: chapter 127: master han bingyan appears, black shark gang annihilated
“`
upon arriving at xian yu island, zhang jian initially wanted to invite lin jing and his companion to visit, but they were in a hurry to return to li yan island, so they declined outright.
after saying their goodbyes to zhang jian, the two continued towards xian yu island.
it wasn’t long before the pair returned to li yan island.
as lin jing steered the flying boat into the northern part of li yan island, he immediately sensed something was amiss.
for above the small courtyard on the mountaintop, there stood a woman in white, purer than snow, floating in the void.
the woman was looking towards the shadow escape flying boat.
at this moment, the shadow escape flying boat was still in stealth mode, yet lin jing observed her through the transparent screen at the front of the boat, used for monitoring the surroundings.
this woman was indeed looking at the flying boat.
no, to be precise, she was looking at him inside the flying boat.
it was as if the stealth function of the shadow escape flying boat was completely ineffective to her.
upon seeing this woman in white, lin jing was immediately startled.
what really shocked lin jing was not just this, but the fact that before this encounter, lin jing’s divine sense could not detect her presence at all.
moreover, he could not sense any aura emanating from her body, as if she had merged with the world around her.
down in the small courtyard, li qingqing, lin jue, ye yun, and han bingyan all remained unharmed in the courtyard, albeit somewhat reserved.
seeing this, lin jing understood that the woman in white must be there for him.
lin jing’s brow furrowed unconsciously.
because he did not recognize this woman.
nor did he know why she had come.
at that moment, even yue qiniang noticed the woman in white. qiniang was about to ask something, but lin jing stopped her with a look.
subsequently.
lin jing deactivated the shadow escape flying boat’s stealth function, opened the hatch, and stepped out.
yue qiniang followed closely behind lin jing.
only after coming out did lin jing clearly see the woman’s face, and upon seeing it, he was momentarily stunned.
because the woman looked ethereally beautiful, as if she was a celestial being descended to earth.
put simply, she was very beautiful, extremely beautiful…
in the presence of the woman in white, lin jing dared not underestimate her in the slightest.
to be able to stand in the void without using any spells.
at the very least, she must possess cultivation at the nascent soul stage.
however, lin jing could not sense any cultivation aura from her, and even his divine sense could not detect her existence.
clearly, this woman’s cultivation was not just at the nascent soul stage, and it wasn’t even at the divinity transformation stage…
her actual cultivation level was beyond lin jing’s ability to fathom.
afterwards.
lin jing approached the woman in white and greeted her with a cupped-hand salute, saying:
“my name is lin jing, the humble island master of li yan island.”
“may i inquire what brings the esteemed senior to li yan island?”
the woman in white’s beautiful eyes shifted slightly as she sized up lin jing from head to toe, and then she spoke:
“you are lin jing?”
lin jing saluted with cupped hands, “yes, senior.”
the woman in white gave a slight nod, saying:
“i’ve heard my disciple mention you; she said that you saved her…”
upon hearing the woman’s words, lin jing was taken aback, then realized and exclaimed with surprise:
“senior, are you han bingyan’s master?”
the woman in white nodded, “indeed…”
then the woman continued:
“had you not intervened, she might have already met with misfortune.”
“i am very grateful to you for saving bing yan.”
lin jing hurriedly replied:
“senior flatters me; saving bing yan was simply a matter of lifting a hand.”
yet the woman in white spoke again, looking at lin jing:
“you are commendable…”
“if someone else had saved bing yan, knowing her special constitution, they would certainly have tried to take her purity and claim her for themselves…”
“but you did not…”
“that’s why i say, you did well.”
as she spoke, the woman in white’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and she said to lin jing:
“of course…”
“had you really done so, i would have certainly killed you…”
when the woman uttered these words, lin jing felt an invisible intent to kill envelop him.
his whole body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
fortunately, this murderous intent appeared only for a moment before it was withdrawn.
otherwise, lin jing truly could not have withstood it.
therefore, lin jing saluted with cupped hands and said to the woman in white:
“senior worries too much…”
“bing yan is by nature kind-hearted and truly rare; i would never stoop to committing such a shameful act and coercing her.”
the woman in white nodded slightly, saying:
“you have done a service by saving bing yan, and i will certainly reward you.”
“however…”
“i have other matters to attend to and would like to leave bing yan with you for a few more days.”
lin jing then quickly interjected:
“senior, please feel at ease to tend to your affairs; leaving bing yan here, you can be reassured.”
the woman in white nodded, then said:
“next, i will go and annihilate the black shark gang, ridding you of the potential threat, before i take care of another matter of my own. once i return, i will take bing yan with me.”
when she spoke of annihilating the black shark gang, her tone was indifferent, as if mentioning a trivial matter of no great consequence.
obviously, she did not take the black shark gang seriously.
lin jing was startled and then asked:
“senior is going to annihilate the black shark gang?”
with a frosty countenance, the woman uttered coldly:
“for capturing disciples of the ice god palace and selling them like goods, not a single member of the black shark gang will escape…”
“i’ll leave bing yan in your care for the time being; i shall return shortly…”
as soon as the woman finished speaking, without waiting for lin jing to respond, she stepped out and disappeared on the spot.
she did not even need lin jing’s assistance to open the defensive array.
