Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 117 Past Events (2/2)
“as for brother lin, his last name is also lin…”
upon hearing this, li qingqing looked at lin jing in disbelief:
“lin jing, could it be that you are the heir of the ancient alchemical lin family?”
lin jing then said:
“i guess so…”
“actually, i didn’t know myself before. it was only after an accident that i found out…”
li qingqing nodded and said:
“no wonder, so that’s how it is…”
after speaking, li qingqing continued to ask:
“but even if you, brother lin jing, were hiding your cultivation back then, you probably weren’t at the golden core stage, facing the invasion of the howling sky wolf clan, it would have been difficult to ensure your own safety, so how did you manage to escape?”
lin jing sighed and said:
“ah…”
“this matter is indeed somewhat complicated.”
“actually, this matter started when we entered the demon race secret realm…”
…
…
subsequently, lin jing narrated the incident that had taken place within the demon race secret realm to both li tangyu and li qingqing, the siblings.
as they listened to lin jing’s story, they occasionally sighed and at other times grew angry…
they had not expected the matters to have been so bizarre.
eventually, lin jing bluntly said:
“so, i never actually encountered the howling sky wolf clan in the beginning. i was taken away by qing ling.”
“in the end, i was directly transported to this demonic monster sea.”
after hearing this, li qingqing expressed her concern:
“does that mean elder bai, elder yu, zhang yuan and the others are now in a slumber inside the demon race secret realm…”
“when will we be able to see them again?”
lin jing shook his head and said:
“i don’t know…”
“but if our cultivation is insufficient, we probably won’t even be able to reach qinghuang peak, so we can only wait until our cultivation has improved before trying again.”
in contrast, li tangyu was focused on another issue.
“the zhang family patriarch always seemed very nice, and even taught us for a while when we were young.”
“but i never expected that he would turn out to be so cruel and heartless…”
“for the sake of survival, he could even abandon his own family, his own kin.”
then, li tangyu turned to li qingqing, his eyes full of unwavering resolve:
“i can use any despicable means to achieve my goals.”
“but the one thing i cannot do is forsake my kin.”
li qingqing then looked at li tangyu and said:
“brother…”
“what exactly did you go through?”
“why have you become the very demon cultivator you always despised?”
lin jing also looked at li tangyu and asked:
“brother li…”
“what exactly did you experience after you left, to become what you are now?”
li tangyu’s brows furrowed, and he seemed reluctant to talk about his past experiences.
however, when he turned his head and saw the concerned and pained expression in li qingqing’s eyes, the resistance in his heart lessened by quite a lot.
thus, after making up his mind, li tangyu slowly began:
“actually, my journey to the eastern spirit realm did not go smoothly…”
but no sooner had he spoken these words…
…li tangyu’s body suddenly erupted with a massive amount of demonic qi, which then transformed into arrows that pierced through him from inside his body…
this demonic qi, seemingly beyond li tangyu’s control, continued to surge within his body relentlessly.
each time these arrows of demonic qi passed through li tangyu, they brought him immense pain.
li tangyu could only grit his teeth, emitting low growls unwillingly, as if he had no way of dealing with this demonic qi.
“brother…”
“what’s happened to you?”
seeing this, li qingqing immediately panicked, standing up quickly and rushing to li tangyu’s side to find out what was going on.
however, li tangyu stretched out his hand to stop li qingqing from coming any closer.
“don’t come over…”
li tangyu roared this out.
it was clear that he was in great agony.
this roar startled li qingqing, causing her to freeze in place.
afterward, li tangyu turned to lin jing and said:
“brother lin… please take qingqing and leave first, give me some time, do not disturb me for now.”
“i can handle it myself.”
seeing the situation, lin jing also frowned deeply.
but right now, neither he nor li qingqing knew anything. if they rashly interfered, who knew what consequences it might bring.
since li tangyu had said so, he must have had his own plan.
therefore, lin jing nodded, then motioned for li qingqing to leave the room with him.
at this moment, li qingqing looked at li tangyu with a face full of worry.
but li tangyu had already begun to sit cross-legged, with a large amount of demonic qi emanating from his body, enveloping him in a cloud of demonic mist.
clearly, the process was extremely painful, and he did not want them to see him in this state.
seeing this, lin jing did not linger any longer.
so he said to li tangyu:
“brother li, if you need anything, just speak up, we’ll be waiting outside for you.”
but li tangyu, suppressing his pain, managed to squeeze out one word:
“okay…”
soon after, lin jing led li qingqing out of the room…
