Chapter 415: Chapter 415: 115: Demon Cultivator, Li Tangyu

Actually, Lin Jing sometimes wondered.

This mysterious demon cultivator might be someone he knew, but the purely demonic techniques he wielded dispelled Lin Jing’s speculation.

Although one could hide their cultivation aura, such demonic techniques could not be simply disguised or easily cultivated.

Moreover, Lin Jing did not know any demon cultivators.

Of course, Li Qingqing might know him.

After all, it had been many years since he last saw Li Qingqing, who might have made some new friends.

And this mysterious demon cultivator was so anxious about Li Qingqing…

Clearly, their relationship was not ordinary.

……

Afterward.

Lin Jing picked up another girl being auctioned and prepared to leave.

However, Lin Jing paused as he looked at a bulrush fan-like magical treasure at his feet.

Then with a wave of his hand, he directly took the magical treasure as well.

After all, this magical treasure should also be quite valuable. Even if he couldn’t use it himself, selling it to the Seven Seas Hall could make him a profit.

After collecting the bulrush fan magical treasure, Lin Jing chanted a spell, and a huge flying boat appeared in front of them.

The appearance of this flying boat surprised the mysterious demon cultivator.

The location of the flying boat was not very far from them.

But even at such close proximity, they had not noticed anything unusual.

Then, they approached the flying boat.

Lin Jing chanted another spell, and the cabin door of the flying boat opened directly.

As soon as the cabin door opened, a dark shadow flew out.

In an instant upon seeing the dark shadow, the mysterious demon cultivator paused and two words burst out:

“Little Sparrow…”

Hearing the voice, Little Sparrow immediately stopped, then flew in front of the mysterious demon cultivator, playfully bumping him with her head.

Clearly, this person knew Little Sparrow.

At this moment, Li Qingqing, who was in the arms of the mysterious demon cultivator, also froze, and then tears instantly welled up…

The mysterious demon cultivator extended a hand to gently wipe her tears away.

However, at this moment, Li Qingqing’s tears overflowed uncontrollably, no matter how much they were wiped away.

Just then, Lin Jing suddenly had a bad premonition. He looked towards the horizon in the direction of Black Shark Island, furrowing his brows.

He then said to everyone:

“We should leave now…”

“The Black Shark Gang Leader could arrive at any moment.”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the mysterious demon cultivator no longer delayed and hurriedly boarded the flying boat.

Lin Jing followed closely behind, carrying the other girl into the flying boat.

The interior of the Shadow Escape Flying Boat was quite spacious, allowing several people inside to still feel quite roomy.

At this moment, Lin Jing had no time to pay attention to these details.

He took out a new Superior Grade Spirit Stone and replaced the half-depleted spirit stone on the flying boat with it.

Then, he directly controlled the flying boat.

With a “swoosh,” it shot into the sky…

Simultaneously, the invisibility feature of the Shadow Escape Flying Boat fully activated, instantly vanishing into the azure sky…

After disappearing into the sky, the flying boat began to fly steadily.

At this point, the mysterious demon cultivator asked Lin Jing:

“Can this flying boat evade the pursuit of a Divinity Transformation cultivator?”

Lin Jing said:

“The invisibility function of this flying boat can evade the Divine Sense search of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, and its speed is also not slow, it should be able to avoid the pursuit of the Black Shark Gang Leader.”

After hearing this, the mysterious demon cultivator nodded.

Meanwhile, Little Sparrow was hovering around Li Qingqing, nudging her with its head, and said:

“Qingqing…”

“Speak…”

However, the seal on Li Qingqing’s body was still unbroken at that moment, preventing her from speaking.

Seeing this, Lin Jing directly took out the severed arm of the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang from his storage bag.

Then he retrieved two tokens from it.

Upon seeing these tokens, the mysterious demon cultivator extended his hand, snatched them from Lin Jing, and without any hesitation, immediately crushed them in his hand.

Clearly, he did not want to wait any longer and wanted to quickly remove the seals on Li Qingqing’s body.

As the two tokens were crushed, countless formation patterns appeared on Li Qingqing and the other girl’s bodies, then after flashing for a while, they gradually faded and finally vanished.

After these formation patterns disappeared.

The seals on Li Qingqing’s body were lifted, and even her cultivation was restored.

Once her cultivation was restored, Li Qingqing grabbed the arm of the mysterious demon cultivator, and with tears streaming down her face, she cried out:

“Brother…”

Li Qingqing’s shout made Lin Jing pause.

Li Qingqing’s brother, who else could it be but Li Tan Yu?

Could this mysterious demon cultivator be Li Tan Yu?

At that moment, the mysterious demon cultivator took off the long robe he was wearing, and simultaneously, the black mist that had always covered his face also disappeared.

Instantly, that familiar yet somewhat strange face once again appeared before Lin Jing.

This demon cultivator was indeed Li Tan Yu.

However, the current Li Tan Yu, compared to before, was completely different.

A horrifying scar, beginning from above and winding down, crossed his entire face.

It looked extremely terrifying.

His gaze was no longer as gentle and pure as before.

Instead, it had become extremely cold.

Plus, the dense Demonic Qi around him made it impossible for Lin Jing to associate him with the Li Tan Yu from before.

However, when Li Tan Yu looked at Li Qingqing, he still showed that gentle and concerned expression.

Perhaps at this moment, he was truly Li Tan Yu.

At this time.

Tears streaked down Li Qingqing’s face as they continuously dripped, completely soaking her garment.

However, Li Qingqing did not seem to notice, her hand reached out, gently caressing the scar on Li Tangyu’s face, her voice trembling uncontrollably:

“Brother…”

“What on earth happened to you, how did you end up like this?”

Li Qingqing felt immense heartache, reminiscing her brother who once was a gentle and refined young master of a prominent family.

The dream lover of countless young girls.

But now, he had transformed into the person before her eyes.

One couldn’t help but wonder what kind of ordeal he had gone through to have changed so drastically to his current state.

However.

Li Tangyu’s gaze was tender as he looked at Li Qingqing, and with a gentle hand, he wiped away her tears.

“It’s okay now, Qingqing…”

“As long as you’re fine, everything is all right.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing couldn’t help herself and directly hugged Li Tangyu:

“Brother…”

At that moment, Li Qingqing laid on Li Tangyu’s body and cried heartily.

In that moment, she once again became the carefree little girl loved by her brother.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing watched all this with a smile, silently observing…

…

…

After a while, Li Qingqing finished venting and, with red eyes, detached from Li Tangyu.

At that moment, Li Tangyu gently petted Little Sparrow, which had just landed on Li Qingqing’s shoulder, and then turned to look at Lin Jing:

“Even Little Sparrow recognizes you, we must know each other, so who are you exactly?”

Seeing this, Lin Jing no longer hid his identity.

He dispelled his disguise and then, with a smile, said to both Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing:

“Brother Li…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Qingqing…”

“It’s been a long time.”

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Li Tangyu was instantly surprised and then smiled as he said:

“Brother Lin…”

“I thought it might be Zhang Yuan, or perhaps some other elder…”

“But I never expected it would be you…”

“Your cultivation has far exceeded my expectations.”

Differently from Li Tangyu, Li Qingqing stared at Lin Jing in disbelief for a moment, then rushed excitedly to him and hugged him tightly:

“Brother Lin Jing…”

“I thought you were gone.”

“You, Sister Qingling, and Zhang Yuan…”

“Even Elder Bai and Elder Yu, shortly after entering the Demon Race Secret Realm, the news came that the Howling Sky Wolf Clan had occupied the realm.”

“Many people did not make it out.”

“I thought that you all…”

As Li Qingqing spoke, she couldn’t hold back and started to cry…

“You don’t understand, when brother left…”

“All of you disappeared too, leaving me all alone; you cannot imagine how painful that felt…”

“Knowing now that you all are safe, it truly is wonderful…”

After a moment.

Li Qingqing released Lin Jing, tears lingering at her eyes but soon breaking into a smile:

“Brother Lin Jing, you are still just like before, unchanged.”

Lin Jing smiled softly, gently rubbing Li Qingqing’s head, then said:

“I haven’t changed, Qingqing, but you’ve grown up a lot…”

Li Qingqing nodded, then wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said:

“Since you all left, it’s been many years, everything has changed…”

“Even Nanshan Immortal City is no more; it’s become the territory of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.”

“And almost the entire Nanming Domain has fallen, and we, the people, had no choice but to flee into the Demonic Monster Sea.”

At that moment.

Li Tangyu suddenly spoke, asking Li Qingqing:

“Qingqing, has the Nanming Domain completely fallen?”

Li Qingqing shook her head, saying:

“Not completely, but it’s nearly so.”

“After the Howling Sky Wolf Clan invaded the Nanming Domain, they captured most of the region.”

“Most of the cultivators from the Nanming Domain followed the three major sects to move to the remaining areas, led by these sects, resisting the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.”

“Others, like us, were forced to wander into this Demonic Monster Sea.”

Li Tangyu furrowed his brows, nodded, and then asked Lin Jing:

“I heard some of this about the Nanming Domain earlier, Brother Lin, were you also inside the Demon Race Secret Realm at the time?”

Lin Jing nodded, saying:

“Yes…”

Then, Li Qingqing also spoke up, adding:

“Brother Lin Jing, since you are fine, what about Sister Qingling?”

“And Zhang Yuan, Elder Bai, Elder Yu, and even the Zhang Family Patriarch and Wu Cai Immortal were together at that accident and disappeared…”

“Where are they? Where did they go?”

Faced with Li Qingqing’s question, Lin Jing was unsure how to respond, so he simply said:

“That matter, it’s rather complicated.”

“Once we’re safe, I’ll explain it all to you.”

“And I also want to know about your situations.”

“Especially Brother Li, why you have changed to what you are now.”

Li Tangyu also nodded, saying:

“Indeed…”

“We still have to face the pursuit of the Black Shark Gang Leader, we really need to find a place to hide and get through this tough time…”
