?Chapter 684: Chapter 295: Ling Yi Dies, Advances to the Main Hall Chapter 684: Chapter 295: Ling Yi Dies, Advances to the Main Hall After Yue Qiniang left, Lin Jing took out several small jade vials and handed them to Lin Jue.
“Inside these, there are two Supreme Grade Cleansing Spirit Elixirs, along with several Superior and Medium Grade Cleansing Spirit Elixirs.”
“Give one of the Supreme Grade Cleansing Spirit Elixirs to Li Tanyu and one to Zhang Jian.”
“I will be leaving soon, and after I leave, you can just hand the Cleansing Spirit Elixirs to them.”
“As for the other grades of Cleansing Spirit Elixirs, you can distribute them as you see fit.
If you want to sell them, that’s also an option, just be careful.”
Lin Jing had told Lin Jue and the others about his plan to venture into the ruins.
However,
due to the importance of the matter, Lin Jing did not tell them much, only that he would explore the ruins with others and would be away for some time.
As Lin Jing finished speaking, Lin Jue quickly looked at him, his eyes full of worries:
“Ah?”
“Brother, are you leaving now?”
“Yes,” Lin Jing nodded.
?????.?0
“Won’t you say goodbye to Qing Qing and the others?” Lin Jue then asked.
Lin Jing shook his head:
“No…”
“I have already told them before, I will not disturb them this time.”
“This departure, I don’t know how long it will take.”
“During the time I am away, Li Yan Island will be in your care.”
Although Lin Jue was reluctant, he knew Lin Jing had to go, so he did not say anything more, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
Lin Jing then reassured Lin Jue with a smile, ensuring he would be careful and telling her not to worry.
After calming Lin Jue, Lin Jing and Lin Jue walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion together.
Lin Jing was about to leave after bidding farewell to Lin Jue.
Just at that moment, a figure appeared in the skyline, quickly approaching Li Yan Island.
This figure had not yet reached Li Yan Island, but Lin Jing had already noticed it.
Lin Jing looked up toward the horizon.
Even though it was very far away, Lin Jing was very familiar with that figure; it was the Yan Family elder.
In but a moment, the Yan Family elder arrived at Li Yan Island.
“Senior!”
Upon seeing the Yan Family elder’s arrival, Lin Jing hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
At the same time, Lin Jue also bowed with Lin Jing:
“We have seen the senior!”
The Yan Family elder first nodded at Lin Jue, then addressed Lin Jing:
“Since we are both cultivators of the same rank, you really need not call me senior.”
Lin Jing respectfully said:
“Not only have you greatly favored me, junior, but you are also a senior of Brother Yan, so you deserve this title.”
In the entire Cultivation World, cultivators of the same rank generally address each other as Dao friends.
However, there are some exceptions, such as those older, highly esteemed cultivators.
Even if later generations advance to the same rank, many would still prefer to address them as seniors.
Especially those seniors who have helped them personally, calling them senior is a way to show respect.
This is no longer about Cultivation.
The Yan Family elder had indeed treated Lin Jing well, even blocking Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist from causing him trouble half a month ago.
Therefore, Lin Jing held great respect for the Yan Family elder.
The Yan Family elder, hearing this, just smiled and said nothing more.
Afterward,
the Yan Family elder spoke to Lin Jing:
“Shall we leave now?”
Lin Jing nodded.
Then Lin Jing and Lin Jue waved goodbye, and he went with the Yan Family elder toward Yue Tian Island.
…
When the two arrived at Yue Tian Island, the other three were already there.
However, the aura around Bai Yi and Li Mingwu seemed off, as if they had just been through a fight.
The Yan Family elder noticed the tense atmosphere and frowned as he spoke to them:
“Didn’t we agree half a month ago?”
“Whatever grievances there are, they need to be set aside before entering the Five Elements Ruins.
What’s going on with you two?”
Li Mingwu’s gaze was chilly as he looked at Bai Yi and then spoke:
“We had agreed that we would each prepare for entering the Five Elements Ruins.”
“Yet Bai Yi took the opportunity to find Ling Yi and killed him.”
“What?”
“Do you really disregard our prior agreement?”
Bai Yi replied with a cold face:
“Since Ling Yi dared to betray me, naturally I couldn’t let him live.”
“This matter has nothing to do with our previous agreement.”
Seemingly emboldened by the presence of the Yan Family elder, Bai Yi looked at Li Mingwu:
“If you are not satisfied, we can fight it out first, determine the winner, and then enter the Five Elements Ruins.”
Hearing this, Li Mingwu’s gaze became even chillier as he stared at Bai Yi, his aura rising.
Ling Yi, although just a subordinate, had shown great respect and had done much for him.
Although Li Mingwu was also a cold-hearted person, such a loyal subordinate was rare, and he valued him highly, intending to nurture him.
Now that Ling Yi had been slain by Bai Yi, Li Mingwu was naturally enraged.
Especially since Bai Yi, after allying with the Yan Family elder, seemed to disregard him.
This made Li Mingwu even more inclined to eliminate Bai Yi.
At this point,
the Yan Family elder spoke up, attempting to mediate:
“Enough!”
“The two of you calm down for now, and let’s discuss this after we exit the ruins.”
Having said this, the Yan Family elder continued:
“This venture into the Five Elements Ruins is of great importance, and I assume you wouldn’t want any mishaps before we enter.”
