Chapter 566: Chapter 235 Turmoil Ends, Departure
Yuling Dao Sect was a Sect that specialized in taming various Demonic Beasts to assist in combat.
Within the Sect, there was a spirit manual created by the founding master of the Sect.
Empowered by this spirit manual, Yuling Dao Sect quickly rose to prominence in the Western Demon Region and became one of the top Sects there.
That was why they were so interested in Little Sparrow.
The reason was that Little Sparrow was one of those rare Demonic Beasts with awakened spiritual intelligence.
A beast with awakened intelligence could no longer be called a Demonic Beast; it was known as a Spirit Beast.
...
Such Spirit Beasts were in perfect harmony with the spirit manual, a priority for the Yuling Dao Sect, and could even be cultivated as personal life-bound Spirit Beasts.
If one could form a life-bound contract with such a beast, not only could it greatly increase oneâs strength, but it would also be immensely beneficial for oneâs cultivation.
That was why Elder Qin had tried repeatedly to obtain Little Sparrow.
However, Lin Jing would definitely not sell Little Sparrow.
Not to mentionâŠ
Little Sparrow was originally Huang Qinglingâs pet, and over time, having spent so long with Little Sparrow, they had already come to regard it as part of their family; naturally, they wouldnât consider selling it.
No sooner had Elder Qin finished speaking than Lin Jing directly responded:
âSorryâŠâ
âWeâre not going to sell this Black Kite under any circumstances.â
After hearing this, Elder Qinâs brows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing further and instead gazed at Little Sparrow in Lin Jueâs arms, as if in deep thoughtâŠ
Just now, he had even invoked the name of the Yuling Dao Sect, but to no avail, which put a slight stain on his face.
However, he could not afford to trifle with Lin Jing due to the difference in their Cultivation.
If he tried to forcefully take it, and the matter escalated to involve the Sect, he probably couldnât bear the consequences.
For a moment, Elder Qin found himself in a quandary.
He genuinely wanted that Spirit Beast.
Even if he didnât use it himself, he could gift it to others.
Now, Mo Limingâs brother, Mo Chengxuan, was about to be united in cultivation with Ji Xiyue of the Xingluo Elixir Sect, so he could gift the Spirit Beast as a congratulatory present to them.
Spirit Beasts like this were rare finds; it would definitely make the Vice Sect Master see him in a new light.
By offering this Spirit Beast and winning face for him, he would surely not treat him unfairly.
However, faced with Lin Jingâs firm stance, Elder Qin didnât know what to do.
Even though Elder Qin did not speak, Mo Liming butted in at this moment:
âSeniorâŠâ
âI am Mo Liming from Yuling Dao Sect. My brother is the top genius of Yuling Dao Sect, Mo Chengxuan. I donât know if youâve heard of him.â
âAs long as youâre willing to part with this Spirit Beast for my brother, name any condition, and my brother will try to meet it to his utmost capability.â
Mo Liming still hadnât given up and brought up his brother at this time, which made Lin Jing both angry and amusedâŠ
Not to mention Lin Jing didnât even know his brother; even if he did, so what?
However, before Lin Jing could react,
Ji Ling took the initiative to interrupt Mo Liming:
âTsk, tsk, tskâŠâ
âWhat did I sayâŠâ
âIt didnât take long and here you are, bringing up your brother again. Are you going to sayâŠâ
At this point, Ji Ling puffed out his chest and in a tone mimicking Mo Liming, he said:
âMy brother Mo Chengxuan, has the potential of an Immortal King!â
The imitation was uncanny and dripping with mockery.
âPfftâŠâ
Upon hearing Ji Lingâs mimicry, Lin Jue almost burst out laughing.
The expression on Elder Qinâs face also immediately cooled.
Realizing the situation was turning awkward, Lin Jue quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
Lin Jing, after hearing this, twitched at the corner of his mouthâŠ
He hadnât realized before just how venomous Ji Lingâs tongue could be.
It must be because of Ji Xiyue.
A few days ago on Spirit Rock Island, Ji Ling had not had the chance to show off his skill before Ji Xiyue blew his confidence.
Afterward, he became much more subdued.
Indeed.
There was always something to bring down even the mightiest; Ji Xiyue must be Ji Lingâs natural bane.
âYouâŠâ
Being ridiculed by Ji Ling, Mo Liming was so enraged he pointed at Ji Ling, his hand shaking, evidently very upset.
Meanwhile, Ji Ling seemed triumphant, as if he had won a great victory, looking quite smug.
Then Ji Ling spoke again to Mo Liming:
âJust to let you know, Senior Lin is a friend of my aunt, and she too is very fond of this pet. Not to mention you, even if your brother were here, it would still be impossible to give it to you.â
Hearing Ji Lingâs words, the already aggravated Mo Liming deflated instantly.
Elder Qin also suddenly changed his approach:
âIt seems this pet is admired by Miss Ji Xiyue; we were indeed thoughtlessâŠâ
âIndeed, indeedâŠâ agreed Mo Liming, smiling as he spoke.
âSince itâs a creature your aunt fancies, naturally, we will not compete for itâŠâ
Mo Limingâs unexpected graciousness left Ji Ling completely perplexed.
Due to their Sectsâ close relations, Ji Ling and Mo Liming had known each other for a long time.
Their rivalry also spanned many years and was not easily resolved.
They were accustomed to this status quo, either engaging in competitions or verbal sparring.
But now, Mo Limingâs unexpected attitude was surprisingly amicable.
Not to mention, Ji Ling had deliberately mocked him, yet Mo Liming managed to hold back; his behaviour left Ji Ling baffled.
