Chapter 570: Chapter 237: Return to Nanshan Immortal City, The Mirror of Illusion Shattering

“Nanming Immortal Sect…”

Lin Jing furrowed his brow and repeated the phrase.

The gray-robed cultivator nodded and said,

“It must be one of the Nascent Soul Stage Elders from Nanming Immortal Sect trying to seize the Li Family’s alchemy inheritance.”

“However, whether others from the Nanming Immortal Sect are involved, we at the Heavenly Secrets Association have not been able to ascertain any definitive information.”

“Especially the stance of that Divinity Transformation Ancestor from the Nanming Immortal Sect, whether they support it or ignore it, we’re not quite clear.”

...

“If this information were confirmed, it would be worth at least ten thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones, given it relates to that Divinity Transformation Ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.”

“Since it’s unconfirmed, consider it a bonus for you, senior.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing fell into deep contemplation for a moment…

Afterwards,

Lin Jing continued to inquire,

“Is there anything else?”

The gray-robed cultivator then spoke,

“There isn’t much else.”

“Just that if senior intends to help the Li Family, just be cautious, especially watch out for that Divinity Transformation Ancestor from the Nanming Immortal Sect.”

“If that Divinity Transformation Ancestor from the Nanming Immortal Sect decides to take a supportive stance on this matter, then senior needs to be even more vigilant.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and then said,

“Alright…”

“I understand.”

Upon finishing, Lin Jing waved his hand, dissipating the protective barrier.

“With that, I’ll take my leave!”

The gray-robed cultivator then clasped his hands towards Lin Jing and his companions to bid farewell, showing no special treatment toward Lin Jing nor revealing his identity.

After saying goodbye, the gray-robed cultivator turned around and left the area.

Once the gray-robed cultivator had departed, Lin Jue wore a worried frown and turned to ask Lin Jing,

“Brother…”

“What should we do now? How are we going to help Sister Qing Qing?”

After some thought, Lin Jing replied,

“We’ll go to Nanshan Immortal City first and see Qing Qing before deciding…”

Having said that, Lin Jing led the group out of the city.

Not far from Sea-Watch City, Lin Jing summoned the Shadow Escape Flying Boat, and they boarded it.

Next,

Lin Jing controlled the flying boat, and with a ‘whoosh,’ they shot forth…

…

The flying boat sped through the skies over the Nanming Domain, while inside, the group sat opposite each other.

At this moment, Lin Jue was still wearing a worried frown, with one hand supporting his cheek and his head lowered in contemplation; Ye Yun was also frowning, sitting next to Lin Jue.

Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong, seeing this situation, felt it inappropriate to speak up and disturb the others.

For a while, the atmosphere inside the flying boat was rather tense.

Just then, Lin Jing raised his head and asked Wei Zhengqing,

“Brother Wei…”

“Are you coming with me to Nanshan Immortal City, or will you head back to Linxian City?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengqing pondered for a moment, glanced at Wei Siyue, then replied,

“We’ll head to Nanshan Immortal City…”

“We won’t return to Linxian City for now.”

Lin Jing nodded in response to Wei Zhengqing.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but ultimately chose not to speak.

Linxian City was where the Ning Family resided.

It seemed Wei Zhengqing still hadn’t decided how to face Ning Yue.

After the conversation, the flying boat once again fell into silence…

…

Nanshan Immortal City, which had not been established for very long, had quickly gathered many cultivators and became exceedingly prosperous because of its proximity to the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Later, due to the Howling Sky Wolf Clan incident,

Nanshan Immortal City, as the closest human city to the Demon Race Secret Realm, naturally bore the brunt of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan’s attack.

The outcome was self-evident.

The powerful Howling Sky Wolf Clan overwhelmed the city; the cultivators of Nanshan Immortal City couldn’t hold out for long before they were defeated and scattered in flight.

The entire Nanshan Immortal City was completely occupied by the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.

Only after reinforcements from the Western Demon Region arrived did the Howling Sky Wolf Clan retreat, and Nanshan Immortal City was then recaptured.

By then, Nanshan Immortal City had suffered deliberate destruction by the Howling Sky Wolf Clan and was in ruins.

Consequently,

after being recaptured, Nanshan Immortal City immediately began reconstruction.

The city rebuilt after the reconstruction was grander than before.

But for Lin Jing, Nanshan Immortal City had also become much more alien.

Upon arrival at Nanshan Immortal City, and seeing the newly reconstructed city, they couldn’t help but be momentarily startled.

If not for the words “Nanshan Immortal City” carved on the towering city gates,

and the familiar surroundings, Lin Jing would have even doubted if they had taken the wrong path.

Approaching Nanshan Immortal City, Lin Jing retracted the flying boat and the group, along the broad road in front of the city, headed into the city together.

Without the threat of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan, there were still many people in Nanshan Immortal City.

Though not as bustling as before the Howling Sky Wolf Clan’s arrival, it was nearly back to its former state.

On this broad road, aside from Lin Jing’s group,

there were also other people heading toward Nanshan Immortal City.

These people had various expressions, but none had high cultivation; aside from Lin Jing’s group, there wasn’t even a single Golden Core.

Walking on this road, Lin Jing’s group, although not revealing their cultivation, did not deliberately hide their aura either.

It was clear to anyone that Lin Jing’s group was not to be trifiled with.

Thus, the people all consciously or unconsciously avoided them.

Upon reaching the entrance to Nanshan Immortal City,

there were two squads of guards stationed there.

All these guards were of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The newly reconstructed Nanshan Immortal City appeared to be managed more strictly.
