Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Chapter 250 Ancestor of Southern Ming_2 Chapter 597: Chapter 250 Ancestor of Southern Ming_2 There might be some danger on the way back, but Lin Jing and Ye Yun, being of higher cultivation, would not be greatly troubled even if they were to encounter an attack.

However, the two cultivators from the Li Family were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and there was no need for them to risk accompanying them.

The two understood Lin Jing’s meaning and nodded immediately, indicating their agreement.

After making arrangements, it didn’t take long for Lin Jing and Ye Yun to leave Linxian City together.

When the two left, they didn’t make any attempt to conceal themselves and just walked back openly and aboveboard.

…

To return to Nanshan Immortal City from Linxian City, one must pass through a mountain range.

...

That mountain range was sparsely populated and teeming with Demonic Beasts.

But these Demonic Beasts were all of lower orders, and even those at the Golden Core Stage were rarely encountered.

If Yun Long truly intended to ambush them, then this mountain range would undoubtedly be the best location.

As Lin Jing and Ye Yun flew over the mountain range on their swords, their powerful auras spread out, causing the Demonic Beasts in the mountains below to be as still as the chill of winter, daring not to move a muscle.

At that moment, Lin Jing suddenly stopped.

Ye Yun also halted, following Lin Jing’s lead.

“Master?” Ye Yun looked at Lin Jing, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Jing then spoke,

“Someone is waiting for us…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun’s brow furrowed.

“So they really do plan to ambush us after all?”

Lin Jing shook his head,

“No…”

“Openly and blatantly!”

Having said that, Lin Jing told Ye Yun,

“You take a detour back, leave them to me.”

Ye Yun turned his head to look at Lin Jing and said,

“Master…”

“Yun Long is merely at the Golden Core Peak, I’ll stay with you!”

Lin Jing looked at Ye Yun and replied,

“You go back first…”

“This time, it’s not just Yun Long; Ancestor Yun of the Yun Family is also there!”

“If a fight does break out later, I’m afraid you might get caught up in it, so you better head back.”

After hearing this, Ye Yun did not insist any further and then bowed to Lin Jing,

“Master, be careful…”

Lin Jing nodded lightly.

Then, Ye Yun changed direction and flew off another way.

Ye Yun had great confidence in Lin Jing.

Just Ancestor Yun and Yun Long themselves, they were no match for Lin Jing.

After Ye Yun left, Lin Jing flew forward once again.

Shortly after, Lin Jing arrived at the ambush site.

No sooner had Lin Jing flown there than suddenly, a beam of red light shot out from the dense forest below.

Following that red light was a black figure.

However, before the red light even reached him, Lin Jing had already detected it.

Then, with an effortless wave of his hand, Lin Jing flung out a palm strike.

This palm strike, although seemingly effortless,

had an astonishingly powerful momentum.

The entire palm print expanded in mid-air and then directly stamped down towards the black figure below.

The black figure trembled at the sight of this palm print, and even the red light it controlled wavered along with it.

The palm print descended, touched the red light, and immediately dispersed it.

At that moment, the figure radiated the light of teleportation, clearly using a Teleportation Talisman.

And just like that, the black figure vanished from its original spot.

Following that,

the palm print continued to fall down, and with a thunderous “boom,” it smashed into the forest below.

Instantly, an enormous palm print, hundreds of yards in size, appeared in the forest below.

Everything under that palm print, be it rocks or trees, was pulverized, and the ground where the palm print landed was depressed by several meters.

Lin Jing rarely used pure Spiritual Power against enemies; this was almost his first time.

But the power of it was sufficiently daunting.

Then,

Lin Jing looked up, his gaze directed to the opposite side.

There, two figures stood.

Both were wearing Magical Treasure Masks, which had incredible concealing effects, such that even Lin Jing’s Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate them.

However, even with the masks on, Lin Jing was all too familiar with their auras.

It was Yun Long and Ancestor Yun from the Yun Family.

At this moment, the young man clad in black brocade robes, who obviously seemed young, began to speak.

“I never imagined you truly were a Nascent Soul Cultivator…”

Lin Jing turned to the young cultivator and said,

“Yun Long…”

“Why do you continue to hide?

Do you think it still holds any meaning?”

“Why not take off your mask?”

The young cultivator spoke,

“Lin Jing…”

“I indeed underestimated you at first.

I never expected that in such a short span of time, you would advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“Your pace of advancement is truly frightening.”

As the young cultivator spoke, he slowly removed the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

It was none other than Yun Long.

Seeing Yun Long removing his mask, the other cultivator beside him, his hair peppered with grey, also took off his mask, revealing his true countenance.

To Lin Jing’s expectations, it was indeed Ancestor Yun from the Yun Family.

After Ancestor Yun removed his mask, he scrutinized Lin Jing thoroughly before exclaiming,

“I’ve heard from Yun Long…”

“He said that fifty years ago, he had met you when you were still a Junior Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.”

“It is unexpected that in merely fifty years, you’ve ascended from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“Such a speed of cultivation is unheard of, and it is truly terrifying!”

“It’s just such a pity that a genius like you is our enemy!”

At this point, Ancestor Yun spoke once more,

“If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who took action against us back in Nanshan Immortal City, weren’t you?”

“That’s right!” Lin Jing nodded.

There was no need to conceal it anymore at this stage.

Lin Jing turned his gaze towards the two men.

While Yun Long’s eyes were filled with hatred,

Ancestor Yun’s eyes showed astonishment and a mix of regret.

In their gaze, there was not the slightest hint of fear.

Back in Nanshan Immortal City, Ancestor Yun couldn’t withstand a single move from Lin Jing, but now he was able to guess this and yet remain so composed…

Lin Jing then said,

“The two of you, you have a contingency plan…”

Ancestor Yun nodded and replied,

“We are here…

“In fact, for you.

You are a rare talent, and even though I have cultivated for several hundred years more than you, I have to admit that I am not your match.”

“Your current strength, it should be in the late Nascent Soul Stage, indeed terrifying…”

“Just a few decades and you have already reached this point…”

“Since we have our suspicions and wish to deal with you, naturally we have prepared a contingency plan.”

Just as Ancestor Yun finished speaking, a very powerful aura suddenly emerged from behind the two of them.

“Their contingency plan is me!”

The voice arrived, but the person was not yet in sight.

ɴονǤ0.сο

This overwhelming aura was much stronger than Lin Jing’s.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown.

He never expected that he would ultimately have to confront him…

This powerful aura was not unfamiliar to Lin Jing; the newcomer was of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

And the only one who could appear here at this time, other than the Divinity Transformation Stage Ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect, was unlikely to be anyone else.

The person Lin Jing least wanted to encounter now was precisely the Divinity Transformation Stage Ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

Right from the start, since Lin Jing had learned about the conflict between the Li Family and the Yun Family in Sea-Watch City and its possible connection with the Nanming Immortal Sect from a cultivator of the Heavenly Secrets Association…

Lin Jing had been wary that this worst-case scenario might occur.

But now, the Ancestor from the Nanming Immortal Sect had truly appeared…

When that voice settled, an old man with a somber expression and a hunched body, appearing weak and frail, stood before Lin Jing.

However, the aura emanating from him was exceedingly astonishing.

Even Lin Jing couldn’t help but furrow his brow and be on guard upon seeing this old man.

As soon as the old man arrived, Yun Long and Ancestor Yun quickly bowed and respectfully addressed the old man,

“Ancestor…”

“This is Lin Jing.

In just fifty years, he advanced from the Qi Refinement Realm to the late Nascent Soul Stage.”

“With such a rapid advancement, there must be a great secret upon him.”

At this point, the old man lifted his eyes, gave Lin Jing a glance, and then spoke,

“He looks indeed quite young…”

The voice of the Nanming Ancestor was hoarse, sounding like stones grinding on the ground.

Yet, when the voice reached one’s ears, it felt like a demon’s whisper, terribly uncomfortable to hear…
