Chapter 499: Chapter 499 - 195: The Location of the Cave Mansion Appears

“Lin Jing, do you know?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to the Nanming Domain very soon.”

Li Qingqing had just received the news and was extremely happy, so she immediately ran to inform Lin Jing.

Li Qingqing was clearly very concerned about matters pertaining to the Nanming Domain.

At that time, Lin Jing had just finished a period of seclusion and was unaware of what had happened.

After hearing Li Qingqing’s words, Lin Jing was also very puzzled and confused.

“Return to the Nanming Domain?”

“Has something happened?” Lin Jing then asked Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing nodded and excitedly said:

“The Qingyuan Sword Sect sent people to the Western Demon Region for help, and there have been results. The Sects in the Western Demon Region are preparing to establish a Teleportation Array between the Nanming Domain and the Western Demon Region.”

“This is to facilitate sending people to expel the Howling Sky Wolf Clan from the Nanming Domain. As long as the Howling Sky Wolf Clan is expelled from the Nanming Domain, then we can return…”

Returning to the Nanming Domain had always been an obsession for Li Qingqing.

Previously…

Li Qingqing had expressed the desire to return to the Nanming Domain several times during casual conversations with Lin Jing.

First, to see how the Li Family was doing.

Second, to pay respects to Elder Master Li and the other Li Family members who had died in battle.

However, due to the Howling Sky Wolf Clan’s rampage throughout the Nanming Domain, it was too dangerous, which had thwarted their plans.

Now that she had received news of support from the Western Demon Region for the Nanming Domain, Li Qingqing was naturally very happy.

Subsequently, Li Qingqing continued:

“And…”

“This Teleportation Array being established, due to the great distance, will have an intermediary stop in Bihai City. If we want to go back, we just need to go to Bihai City and use the Teleportation Array to return.”

After speaking, Li Qingqing looked at Lin Jing and asked:

“Lin Jing, are you planning to go back?”

When Nanming Domain was mentioned, Lin Jing immediately thought of Huang Qingling, Elder Yu, Elder Bai, and Zhang Yuan…

They were all in Qinghuang Palace, and he wondered how they were doing now.

If possible, Lin Jing truly wanted to go back and see for himself.

It’s just that he didn’t know.

Whether he could set foot on Qinghuang Peak again.

Moreover, there were Senior Han and Ning Yue.

As a disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, he supposed there should be no issue for him.

As for Ning Yue, that was unclear. He just hoped she was safe and sound.

Thinking this, Lin Jing nodded and said:

“If the Nanming Domain is restored, I’ll go back with you to take a look…”

Li Qingqing then spoke:

“That’s great. When the time comes, you, me, and my brother, we can all go back together…”

After speaking, Li Qingqing complained:

“I don’t know what’s come over my brother recently; he hasn’t visited in such a long time.”

The last time Lin Jing came out from the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, he met with Li Tangyu.

But that was their last meeting.

From that time until now, Li Tangyu hadn’t appeared again.

Li Qingqing might be unaware, but Lin Jing knew.

At this moment, Li Tangyu should be at the most critical moment, and by his calculations, should be undergoing Tribulation to enter the Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, the conversation they had the last time they met, Lin Jing also did not tell Li Qingqing.

Because.

Li Tangyu had made a choice, to take another path, and Li Qingqing would surely be heartbroken if she knew.

For now, it’s better to keep it from her.

……

As the two were discussing, a sudden disturbance came.

Lin Jing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he immediately extended his Divine Sense.

Under the observation of his Divine Sense, Lin Jing saw that the tower used to monitor abnormal spiritual power fluctuations showed some changes.

Then, Lin Jing said to Li Qingqing:

“Qingqing, please wait for a moment. I’ll go out and check.”

At this moment, Li Qingqing didn’t know what had happened, but still nodded in response:

“Alright…”

After that, Lin Jing immediately took a step and left the small courtyard.

In just a few steps, Lin Jing arrived near the tall tower.

At the top of the tower, the formation that usually remained concealed was now revealed, furiously in operation.

This situation indicated that there was an anomaly in the energy fluctuations, and it was very possible that Li Mingwu had opened that cave dwelling.

Continuing.

Lin Jing quickly wiped his hand and took out a circular Array Plate from his Space Ring.

Then, Lin Jing began to channel his Spiritual Power into the Array Plate.

The Array Plate started to operate, resembling a star map with dozens of shining points interconnected by white silken threads.

These dozens of shining points represented the islands within the territory under Lin Jing’s jurisdiction, and the displayed map on the Array Plate was of the sea territory he governed.

At this moment, on the Array Plate, aside from these shining points and white threads, there was no sign of any anomaly.

Since the formations were connected, any disturbances in other areas would have been transmitted to Lin Jing as well.

Right now, there were no signs of disturbance on Lin Jing’s Array Plate, indicating that the anomaly had not occurred within the sea territory he controlled.

Lin Jing then put away the Array Plate and looked towards the distant sea.

If the disturbance was truly caused by Li Mingwu opening the cave dwelling, it probably wouldn’t be long before news of it arrived.

Facing the encirclement of three Divinity Transformation Cultivators, Li Mingwu probably couldn’t hold on for too long.

If Li Mingwu were to escape, it likely wouldn’t take long for Xue Yilin to come looking for him to “get to work.”

For now, all Lin Jing had to do was wait.

Afterward, Lin Jing returned to the courtyard. As soon as he arrived, Li Qingqing came to greet him and asked,

“Brother Lin Jing, has something happened?”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“There’s been an incident, but don’t worry, it’s not connected to Li Yan Island.”

“I see…” Li Qingqing visibly relaxed.

Then, Lin Jing continued to Li Qingqing,

“Qing Qing…”

“I might have to leave for a few days. If there’s anything happening on the island during these days, I’ll have to trouble you.”

“Also, yesterday Mother Yue Qi mentioned that the stocks of Pure Accumulation Pill at Li Yan Elixir Pavilion are running low. You’ll need to make some in these next few days.”

Li Qingqing quickly looked at Lin Jing with concern and said,

“Are you in danger on this trip?”

Lin Jing smiled and replied,

“Don’t worry, there’s no danger this time.”

“And, this time it’s just in the Thousand Islands Domain, so I should be back very soon.”

Li Qingqing frowned with worry and said,

“Last time was also in the Thousand Islands Domain, and you were gone for eight years…”

Lin Jing found himself at a loss for words…

……

Originally…

Lin Jing had thought the matter would be resolved quickly.

However, several days passed before Xue Yilin finally arrived at Li Yan Island, and no news had come before his arrival.

As soon as Xue Yilin arrived, a puzzled Lin Jing asked him,

“Fellow Daoist Xue, have you encountered any trouble?”

Xue Yilin nodded and then said,

“I won’t lie to you, Fellow Daoist Lin, indeed there was some trouble, which is why I’m late.”

Lin Jing nodded and asked,

“What about Li Mingwu, was it really him who opened that cave dwelling?”

Xue Yilin nodded and said,

“Yes…”

“The cave dwelling has been opened.”

Lin Jing immediately asked,

“Do you know where exactly that cave dwelling is?”

Hearing Lin Jing’s question, Xue Yilin’s expression turned a bit strange. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke,

“Yue Tian Island…”
