Li Yun was a trusted family disciple of Li Jueyin, and was always reliable in her work. There must be a reason why she would give such instructions.
Li Jueyin then secretly exchanged a few words with Lin Zhao.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao immediately said to Tao Anbo, "Senior Brother Tao, now that we have a general understanding of your situation with the female demon, why don't we split up and search separately? It will be faster and the search area will be more comprehensive."
Tao Anbo said, "Alright. If you find anything, send a message immediately. We'd better not go and face that female demon alone."
Lin Zhao nodded and said, "I understand. Her methods are ruthless. If we face her alone, we'll easily fall into her trap."
The three parted ways immediately. A moment later, Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin had returned to their caves in two different directions.
Honestly, if Wen Ruyan weren't the little princess of the Wen family in the Upper Realm, Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin would have gone straight to Chimiao Peak and slapped her to death. But since the Upper Realm is involved, and although Wen Ruyan is in the cultivation world, she has already recognized her ancestors and has many connections with the Upper Realm, even if they succeed in making a move here, they will definitely not escape the Wen family's detection. At that time, the entire Xingyun Sect will probably be implicated.
The Xuanyuan Palace serves as a cautionary tale! That's why Li Yun instructed Li Jueyin and the other two not to make a fuss when they returned.
Li Yun had already questioned Lin Jingting about how he escaped after Wen Ruyan had taken him into a spatial talisman and thrown him off the cliff.
But Lin Jingting didn't mention a word about it.
After Lin Zhao and his wife returned, they listened to Li Yun's account of the matter and pressed Lin Jingting about the same issue. However, Lin Jingting remained silent, only asking them how they planned to deal with Wen Ruyan.
Lin Zhao coldly rebuked, "Jingting, tell me honestly, did you make this up? Otherwise, if you really fell into the Cliff of No Return, how could you have escaped alive?"
A familiar voice rang in Lin Jingting's ears; someone was transmitting their voice to him. He was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Although she threw that talisman off Hopeless Cliff, it was hanging on a treetop and didn't actually fall into the miasma below."
Wen Ruyan threw away the talisman and left. The miasma, carried by the wind, drifted up little by little, completely corroding the spiritual connection she had left on it to bind it to her. The talisman became ownerless, so I took it and came out. Oh, and besides me, there was a female corpse inside…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a female corpse appeared beside him.
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment: the female corpse was none other than Ru Yin, the maid Wen Ruyan had mentioned going on a trip.
Given Wen Ruyan's connections in the Upper Realm, few in the cultivation world would dare to oppose her. Lin Zhao and Li Jueyin, due to their relationship with the Xingyun Sect, would be even less likely to directly oppose Wen Ruyan.
However, their son is now Wen Ruyan's target. If Wen Ruyan finds out that Lin Jingting is still alive, who knows what she might do? Li Yun had the couple return to their cave quietly because she was worried about this.
The three people inside the cave all looked extremely flustered.
Only Lin Jingting, perhaps too young to understand the seriousness of the matter, said, "Father, Mother, I went to visit Senior Brother Hua before, but I didn't even have a chance to see him before Wen Ruyan took me into her spatial talisman. I want to go visit him now..."
"no!"
Seeing the three adults in front of her shout in unison, Lin Jingting was stunned for a moment, her little face scrunched up like a bun, and she asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Senior Brother Hua has always been kind to me. Now that he is injured, shouldn't I go and visit him?"
Li Jueyin said, "In Wen Ruyan's heart, you are already a dead person, which is why you can stay here safely, and the Xingyun Sect can remain calm. But if she knew you were alive..."
She really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Lin Zhao pondered, "Given Wen Ruyan's current status in the cultivation world, even if she were to become Ouyang Hao's Daoist partner, no one would dare to say anything. Why would she do this?" He couldn't help but grit his teeth as he spoke.
Li Jueyin sighed, "She wants a good reputation. After learning about her injuries, Tianling offered to divorce her and set her free, but she insisted on staying with him, and now she's causing this mess..."
Li Yun said, "To protect her good reputation, she didn't hesitate to use such a cruel method against the young master and even killed the loyal maid. She is simply insane."
Lin Jingting smirked and said, "I knew she wasn't a good person a long time ago, yet you all still liked her so much. If I hadn't come back alive and told you the truth, who knows what you would have done?"
Lin Zhao said, "We all thought that it was that female demon Hua Nian who kidnapped you." He paused, then said, "She once used a trick to deceive your Uncle Tao into giving her an important talisman by using a fake version of you."
Lin Jingting paused, then blinked her starry eyes and asked, "Hua Nian is Senior Brother Hua's aunt, right?"
Lin Zhao said, "That's right. How do you know? Has someone mentioned her to you?" In any case, neither he nor his wife had mentioned Hua Nian to their child, so he turned to look at Li Yun with a puzzled expression.
Li Yun said, "I never mentioned that female demon to him either."
Who would mention that female demon to a child who is only a few years old? It's terrifying.
Lin Jingting excitedly pressed on, "Why do you all call Senior Brother Hua's aunt 'the female demon'? I remember my mother once told me that demons are all bad people."
Li Jueyin: "Isn't Hua Nian a bad person? Your Senior Brother Hua was injured by her. Also, after she underwent her tribulation in the Mahayana stage, she drained the magical energy of several Nascent Soul cultivators present in order to restore the demonic energy she lost during her tribulation."
"Drain someone else's magical energy?" Lin Jingting stroked his chin, pondering like a little adult. "Is that even possible?"
Chu Nian almost shouted "No!" But given her current situation, she swallowed the words back. Moreover, knowing Lin Jingting's personality, once he learned that she had restored her magical power in this way, he probably wouldn't be convinced even if she said it wasn't allowed.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao admonished him in a deep voice: "This kind of behavior is utterly immoral. How can you do such a thing? Little Lin, think about the magical energy you have worked so hard to cultivate. If it is all absorbed by others, would you be willing to accept that?"
Lin Jingting pursed her lips: "Of course I won't accept that. So, I need to make sure I don't get sucked out myself, and only suck out others."
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?" Lin Zhao roared, almost choking on his anger at his words.
Li Jueyin hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiao Linzi is still a child. How would he know about right and wrong, good and evil? We'll have to teach him slowly in the future."
Lin Zhao quickly calmed down.
