Chapter 382: Chapter 82: News of Li Mingwu
After the Nirvana Elixir had been refined, Lin Jing had clearly become much more leisurely than before.
However, Holaw Three Rivers had started to become busy.
The site for Tribulation had already been chosen the last time they went out.
Next, Holaw Three Rivers needed to setup the Formation, and then prepare for the Tribulation.
In the meantime, he also had to set up a large Formation with various functions in Lin Jing’s new Alchemy Room.
It could be said that among them, he was the busiest.
Meanwhile, Lu Youjiu was undergoing his final meditation.
Only after this meditation would he be ready to attempt the Tribulation.
……
That day.
With nothing much to do, Lin Jing left the Alchemy Room and went down the mountain for a stroll.
He happened to see Yan Wanfei and Zhang Jian, who was with Yan Wanfei.
Upon seeing Lin Jing, Zhang Jian hurriedly approached him.
“Brother Lin, you seem quite free today,” he said.
Lin Jing responded with a slight smile,
“Brother Zhang…”
“I heard from Brother Yan that you’re about to advance to a Fourth Rank Array Master, which is truly a joyous occasion.”
However, Zhang Jian waved his hand and said,
“Not at all…”
“Brother Lin is too kind; you are formidable, with extraordinary combat abilities, and you’re also a Fourth Grade Pill Master.”
At that moment, Yan Wanfei suddenly interjected,
“Alright, you two, stop praising each other. I can barely stand it.”
“Zhang, weren’t you going to ask Brother Lin about something concerning Spirit Plants?”
“Stop rambling; just ask now.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian, with a dark face, turned to Yan Wanfei and said,
“Yan Shuishui, can you not call me ‘Cheap Zhang’?”
However, Yan Wanfei shook his head like a rattle-drum and then spoke up,
“I can’t do that.”
“Who asked you to be so persistent and annoying back then?”
Zhang Jian quickly retorted,
“How was I supposed to know you were pretending to be ‘Yan Shuishui’? If I had known it was you in disguise, I would never have approached you.”
At this, he sighed heavily.
“Ah…”
“My Pupil Skill has really gone to the dogs.”
“To think it added such a huge blemish to my life out of thin air.”
Yan Wanfei did not mince words,
“You’re blathering…”
“Do you think I wanted to? It was all for the mission.”
“And what about your Pupil Skill? Did you really think it would be able to see through the innate Divine Skills of our Green Illusion Demon Ox clan?”
“You underestimated our clan too much.”
Zhang Jian, almost tearful, lamented,
“My innocence…”
“To think I hesitated for days over a big male ox, and to say this out loud…”
“Forget it, I can’t speak of it…”
Yan Wanfei looked disdainfully at Zhang Jian,
“If you want to blame someone, blame Dai Mao for his tastes.”
At this point, Yan Wanfei suddenly paused, then shifted the conversation,
“Speaking of Dai Mao, I just remembered…”
“Last time, I asked you to secretly investigate Dai Mao’s whereabouts for us, how did that go?”
Since the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch had left with Dai Mao’s body,
Yan Wanfei had Zhang Jian help in tracking Dai Mao’s movements as well.
When Dai Mao was mentioned, Zhang Jian got serious:
“You wouldn’t believe it, but recently, a friend of mine reported seeing Dai Mao’s whereabouts.”
“Just two months ago, my friend discovered a small island in the west of Thousand Islands Domain that was annihilated, and everyone on the island had been drained of their essence and died.”
“My friend, who was merely passing by and witnessed this scene, sensed danger and decided to leave.”
“Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by someone with a sky-high Demonic Qi.”
“At first, he tried to resist but quickly realized he was no match.”
“Eventually, he had no choice but to detonate his Magical Treasure to find a chance to escape.”
“However, during the explosion of his Magical Treasure, by chance, he saw the face of his assailant—it was Dai Mao.”
“According to his recollection, Dai Mao seemed seriously injured at the time, which is probably why he didn’t pursue him.”
“Otherwise, my friend would have never escaped.”
“These are all things my friend told me himself.”
After hearing this, Yan Wanfei began to query,
“Dai Mao was injured?”
“How could he have been injured?”
Zhang Jian gave him a look,
“How should I know? It’s abnormal for Dai Mao to be injured. Maybe he was still recovering from the beating you guys gave him initially.”
The question of Yan Wanfei was also Lin Jing’s query.
Because they hadn’t told Zhang Jian that Dai Mao was actually the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
