Chapter 552: Chapter 228: Enlightenment Elixir, Plan_2
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“At first, I indeed thought that way…”
Wei Zhengqing gave a bitter smile, then his face filled with despondency:
“Heh…”
“Actually, what I miss is Shuangyue…”
Lin Jing then fell silent, not knowing how to comfort Wei Zhengqing in the face of his situation.
After that, Wei Zhengqing continued:
“It was later, during our numerous attempts to probe, that we found the mechanism to that secret chamber and discovered the Enlightenment Elixir.”
“By the time we found that mechanism, several months had passed, and Shuangyue was already pregnant.”
“Who would have thought, when the Enlightenment Elixir appeared, it caused quite a commotion, attracting the attention of many, and at that moment, it flew into Shuangyue’s body, merging with the Si Yue inside her womb.”
“The Enlightenment Elixir is immeasurably precious, naturally drawing many to try to seize it, but since it had merged with Si Yue, it simply couldn’t be taken out.”
“If someone tried to extract it forcibly, not to mention whether the Enlightenment Elixir would be affected, Si Yue would certainly die.”
“With no other choice, we had to flee.”
“Just at that time, the Moon Demon Sect Leader appeared and rescued us.”
As he got to this part, Wei Zhengqing’s expression suddenly grew cold, and he said through clenched teeth:
“Before that, I always heard Shuangyue talk about how this and that about the Moon Demon Sect, and I really thought that the Moon Demon Sect Leader was different from the rest…”
“And also…”
“That Moon Demon Sect Leader was Shuangyue’s mentor…”
Having said that, Wei Zhengqing shook his head helplessly and sighed:
“Sigh…”
“Shuangyue was too naive, too trusting of others.”
“After tricking us into returning, at first, the Moon Demon Sect Leader was very caring towards Shuangyue…”
“But as soon as he learned that the Enlightenment Elixir could be forcefully extracted, he showed his true colors.”
“Fortunately, thanks to my persuasion, Shuangyue took extra precautions, and we managed to escape before the Moon Demon Sect Leader could make a move…”
“Just like that…”
“We fled all the way to the Demonic Monster Sea, and the Moon Demon Sect Leader, pursuing us, also came to the Demonic Monster Sea. He is hiding from the attacks of other forces in the Northern Devil Region while searching for us, wanting to get the Enlightenment Elixir.”
“Unfortunately, during our escape, we were still carelessly caught up by the people from the Moon Demon Sect.”
“It was during that incident that I was seriously injured, and Shuangyue, she died at the hands of the Moon Demon Sect Leader.”
“When Shuangyue died, Si Yue was not yet a year old; we were always fleeing and hadn’t even settled on a name.”
“It was after that, I named her Si Yue…”
With that, Wei Zhengqing stopped.
Then he sighed:
“Originally…”
“It should have been me who died…”
“Shuangyue was too foolish…”
Saying this, Wei Zhengqing stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.
Lin Jing stepped forward, placing a hand on Wei Zhengqing’s shoulder, and then spoke:
“Brother Wei, be strong…”
Lin Jing wanted to comfort Wei Zhengqing, but the words seemed stuck at the tip of his tongue…
A moment later, Wei Zhengqing collected his thoughts, turned to Lin Jing with a smile, and said:
“Brother Lin, it’s fine…”
“This is all years in the past, and I must start to slowly get used to it…”
Although Wei Zhengqing was smiling as he spoke these words, Lin Jing could see the bitterness in his smile.
Following that…
Wei Zhengqing collected his emotions and then continued:
“The Enlightenment Elixir is something the Moon Demon Sect Leader dares not reveal, which is exactly why he falsely claimed that we stole something from him.”
“And we are also like that, if the Enlightenment Elixir is exposed, I fear our situation will be even more dangerous.”
“Especially for Si Yue…”
After hearing this, Lin Jing fell silent for a long while…
Until after a long while, Lin Jing spoke:
“Perhaps…”
“We could think of another way to rescue Yan Xiong.”
“Rescue him?” Wei Zhengqing was startled, then asked:
“How to rescue him?”
Lin Jing continued:
“Naturally, I’ll go for the rescue.”
Wei Zhengqing immediately shook his head:
“No way…”
“The Moon Demon Sect Leader’s cultivation is extraordinary, and the Great Dream Ancient Mirror he possesses is also extremely formidable.”
“Even though you, Brother Lin, are also at the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s simply impossible for you to be his match.”
Lin Jing then spoke, explaining:
“To rescue Yan Xiong, we don’t necessarily have to confront the Moon Demon Sect Leader.”
“We just need to avoid meeting him, that’s all.”
Wei Zhengqing then frowned and said:
“Having caught Yan Xiong, their defenses will surely be extremely tight. Rescuing him will not be easy. What do you plan to do, Brother Lin?”
Lin Jing thought for a moment, then spoke:
“Lure the tiger away from the mountain, that’s the method I can think of,”
“And…”
“This task, I’m afraid it requires you to make a personal appearance.”
Wei Zhengqing nodded:
“My involvement is naturally not a problem,”
“Only, how should we operate this task? Brother Lin, could you explain it to me in detail?”
Lin Jing nodded, saying:
“Of course, I’ll explain it to you…”
“But before that, I need to understand the current specific situation of the Moon Demon Sect and Black Xing Island.”
Wei Zhengqing nodded, then began:
“I know some about the situation of the Moon Demon Sect, I can tell you right now…”
“Currently, the Moon Demon Sect has a total of two Nascent Souls…”
Wei Zhengqing then told Lin Jing about the current situation of the Moon Demon Sect, the strength of the Moon Demon Sect Leader, and various means at their disposal.
After hearing this, Lin Jing also shared his plan with Wei Zhengqing.
To lure the tiger away from the mountain, Wei Zhengqing, or even Wei Siyue, must take personal risks.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to achieve the effect of luring the tiger.
While taking personal risks, they must also protect themselves.
As it happened, Lin Jing had just the right conditions for that.
That was the Shadow Escape Flying Boat.
Whether it be flying speed or invisibility, the Shadow Escape Flying Boat was excellent.
Once upon a time, Lin Jing had even managed to escape from the pursuit of the Black Shark Gang Leader, who was at the Divinity Transformation Stage, with the Shadow Escape Flying Boat.
Let alone the Moon Demon Sect Leader who hadn’t yet reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Since Wei Zhengqing’s Golden Core was sealed, and he was unable to use Spiritual Power, they needed someone else to accompany him and pilot the Flying Boat.
Ye Yun had reached the eighth level of the Golden Core, which was just perfect.
As for Lin Jing, he was responsible for going to Black Xing Island to rescue Yan Xiong.
Lin Jing shared his intentions with Wei Zhengqing.
Wei Zhengqing was hesitant, not wanting to involve Ye Yun.
Lin Jing then explained to Wei Zhengqing and assured him that the Shadow Escape Flying Boat was absolutely reliable.
Wei Zhengqing reluctantly agreed.
Of course, that was just one part of implementing the plan.
Another was naturally to find out the specific situation on Black Xing Island, as well as to confirm Yan Xiong’s current condition.
This was also a must-do.
If they intended to make a move, they definitely had to be fully prepared.
After hearing this, Wei Zhengqing also agreed with Lin Jing’s proposal.
Then, the two discussed for a while. After finishing their discussion, Lin Jing withdrew the Spiritual Power barrier, and the two walked out.
When the two of them went out, the other three left and came over.
Wei Siyue took the lead, asking:
“Daddy…”
“Uncle Yan has been captured, what are we planning to do?”
Wei Zhengqing reached out, stroked Wei Siyue’s head, then began:
“I’ve already discussed with your Uncle Lin, we’re preparing to rescue your Uncle Yan.”
“Really, that’s great…” Wei Siyue cheered up instantly.
Ye Yun also spoke up at this time, asking:
“Master…”
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Lin Jing looked at Ye Yun and replied:
“There is indeed something I need your help with.”
“Master, please tell me…” Ye Yun looked at Lin Jing and spoke directly.
“Over this period, become familiar with the Shadow Escape Flying Boat with me, we’ll need it later.”
“Yes, Master…” Ye Yun replied without any hesitation.
At that moment, Lin Jue also chimed in:
“Brother…”
“What about me, is there anything I need to do?”
“You…?”
Lin Jing assessed Lin Jue, then said:
“Your task…”
“Is quite important…”
“What task? Brother, tell me quickly.”
Lin Jue, not at all worried but rather excited, urged him on.
Lin Jing then said:
“Your task…”
“Is to stay at home and take care of Si Yue, keep her company…”
