Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 554: Chapter 229: Plans Disrupted_2

“How is that like us…”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about it…”

The bald man clearly harbored a deep resentment.

The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator, seeing the bald man like this, quickly spoke up, asking:

“Brother Bao…”

“Are you still dissatisfied with the arrangement the Sect Hierarch has given us?”

The bald man was filled with righteous indignation, and then he spoke:

“We helped him find that fugitive, and it’s fine that we didn’t get any reward, but he even wants us to run back and forth, continue to come back to do this crappy task.”

“You say, it’s fine to monitor Wei Zhengqing, but to even have us watch a little girl.”

“What does he take us for? Nannies?”

At this, the other person nodded repeatedly, saying:

“Yes…”

“Didn’t the Sect Hierarch also say to try to find a way to lure that girl out and then kidnap her back…”

As he said this, the Moon Demon Sect cultivator paused for a moment then continued:

“Brother Bao…”

“Wasn’t there news before, saying that the reason the Holy Maiden fled was because of a sacred object.”

“Do you think that treasure might be on that little girl?”

The bald man thought for a moment after hearing this, then said:

“I know about the Holy Maiden’s defection, but the Sect Hierarch never said why, only that she left the sect for a man…”

“However, it’s hard to say with the Sect Hierarch…”

“If you put it that way, it’s indeed possible that there’s some precious treasure on Wei Zhengqing.”

“As for what you mentioned, being on that girl…”

“Don’t joke around, if it really were a treasure, would you entrust it to a little girl?”

After hearing the bald man’s analysis, the Moon Demon Sect disciple nodded in agreement, saying:

“That makes sense…”

“Indeed, if there is any precious treasure, it would definitely be safest kept with oneself.”

At this point, the bald man sighed and then spoke:

“Alas…”

“Forget it…”

“Ever since the Holy Maiden left the sect, the Sect Hierarch has become increasingly unpredictable. If we don’t handle this matter well, our fate won’t be good.”

The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator nodded repeatedly.

“Yeah…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“We can’t afford to anger the Sect Hierarch now, or we’ll certainly be dead.”

Finally, the bald man took one last look at the Flying Boat, then said to the other Moon Demon Sect cultivator:

“Let’s go, don’t look anymore…”

“We still need to hurry and complete the mission.”

“Alright…”

The other Moon Demon Sect cultivator spoke.

After speaking, the two left the area and flew towards Bihai City.

When the two had left, Lin Jing directly said to Ye Yun:

“Alright…”

“Let’s go!”

Ye Yun nodded, then piloting the Flying Boat, they disappeared in a wisp of smoke.

This left the other cultivators who were there for the spectacle staring blankly.

A moment later, those cultivators, feeling like they’d been fooled, all left cursing and swearing as they rode their Flying Swords…

After leaving, and having flown a good distance, only when they reached a deserted sea area, did Ye Yun speak again:

“Master…”

“What were they talking about just now? Lin Jue and Sister Si Yue won’t be in any trouble, will they?”

Ye Yun, although he had discovered those two people, had not extended his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Ye Yun’s cultivation was not much different from theirs, so it could easily be exposed, and thus this task could only be done by Lin Jing.

Lin Jing then spoke to Ye Yun:

“We guessed right…”

“Those two were sent to monitor.”

“So it’s just as we thought…” Ye Yun frowned as he spoke.

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“It seems our plan also needs to be expedited…”

…

With the speed of the Shadow Escape Flying Boat, it took only half a day for the two of them to arrive at Black Xing Island.

Upon reaching Black Xing Island, Lin Jing noticed that, as usual, the island was still engaged in human trafficking.

Initially, after the Black Shark Gang was annihilated, Black Xing Island fell into decline for a time.

However, eventually, the rumors died down.

The person who had wiped out the Black Shark Gang hadn’t made any further moves.

Thus, others started to eye Black Xing Island once more.

After all, the island was previously famous for its human trafficking; it would be easier to redevelop the business there.

Consequently, several nearby powers began utilizing various methods to compete for control of Black Xing Island.

But, to their surprise, just when their competition was at its fiercest, the abruptly strong emergence of the Moon Demon Sect took over the island.

As for the other powers, though unwilling to concede, the Moon Demon Sect Leader proved to be extremely troublesome, especially with the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, a Dao Bao, in hand.

That cost those powers dearly.

Naturally, these powers were not content, so they spread the news of the Sect Leader having the Dao Bao.

Once this information was leaked, Divine Transformation Cultivators turned green with envy and wanted to snatch it.

However, the Moon Demon Sect Leader, already at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage and on the verge of achieving Divinity Transformation, coupled with the Great Dream Ancient Mirror in his possession, was more than a match for those cultivators.

The cultivators aiming to steal from him took a loss.

Even when faced with established Divinity Transformation old monsters, the Sect Leader, if somewhat outmatched, could still easily escape from their clutches.

It was said that unless a Cultivator of the Flesh-incarnate Stage intervened, no one could take the Great Dream Ancient Mirror from the hands of the Sect Leader.

But how many Cultivators of the Flesh-incarnate Stage are there?

Lin Jing only knew of the Lord of Bihai City; he had no clue about any others.

And the Lord of Bihai City had gone into seclusion after the Black Shark incident and had not appeared since.

Therefore, as things had progressed to this point, no cultivator even thought about challenging the Sect Leader any longer.

…

Black Xing Island was business as usual, but the defense had become much more rigorous compared to before.

The entire perimeter of Black Xing Island was surrounded by a Fifth-Rank Formation.

Within the city, multiple Fifth-Rank Formations were combined to form a near-Sixth Rank Trap-Killing Formation.

Black Xing Island could be said to be as impregnable as a fortress now.

Looking at Black Stench City ahead, formerly known as Black Shark City, Lin Jing was lost in thought.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing, accompanied by Ye Yun, walked into the city.

Once inside Black Stench City, the interior did not differ much from before, but it was evident that all buildings had been newly constructed.

They seemed to have been built quite some time ago.

Presumably, this must have been the handiwork of Han Bingyan’s master.

When Han Bingyan was sold to Black Xing Island, as her master, it was understandable not to show any mercy.

Destroying the Black Shark Gang and, incidentally, this island, was justifiable.

After entering Black Stench City, Lin Jing and Ye Yun split up to gather information about Yan Xiong’s whereabouts.

At the same time, Lin Jing was also looking into whether the Moon Demon Sect Leader was on Black Xing Island.

Not long after, even before an hour had passed and Lin Jing had not yet found any leads,

Ye Yun had already received some news.

It turned out that just before their arrival, the Moon Demon Sect Leader had taken Yan Xiong and left Black Xing Island directly, and the direction of their departure was precisely towards Bihai City.

Lin Jing had just missed them by chance.

After receiving this information, Lin Jing could not help but frown, unable to understand what the Moon Demon Sect Leader was planning.

However…

Since he left with Yan Xiong in tow, heading in the direction of Bihai City,

everything became clear.

It seemed that he might be going to Bihai City personally to find Wei Zhengqing.

Lin Jing could not afford to think any further and quickly left Black Xing Island with Ye Yun. They then boarded the Flying Boat and sped towards Bihai City.

Lin Jing was worried about Wei Zhengqing.

Wei Zhengqing’s loyalty was his strength, but it was also a weakness others could exploit.

If the Sect Leader indeed used Yan Xiong’s life as a threat, Lin Jing could not guarantee that Wei Zhengqing would remain rational.

Lin Jing had no doubt that under such circumstances, Wei Zhengqing might very well leave his daughter behind and face the threat alone.

This situation had gone beyond their expectations.

In their original plan, since the Sect Leader possessed the Dao Bao, he would not dare to approach Bihai City at all.

At most, he might spread rumors to lure Wei Zhengqing out of Bihai City and into his trap.

But unexpectedly, he took the initiative himself and went to Bihai City.

This completely disrupted the plan Lin Jing and the others had laid out.

And Lin Jing

had to rush back immediately, lest any accidents occur.
