Chapter 192: Temporary Freedom
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I wonder if you have a way to find the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.”
Chen Yan had no other choice. He thought that since Lin Bai had set the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf free with his own hands and treated its injuries, if the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf had a spirit and Lin Bai appeared, it might lower his guard and appear on its own accord.
Of course, this was just Chen Yan’s guess. It was better to have a last resort than to do nothing here.
Lin Bai could hear the hidden meaning in his words and immediately thought of a plan. He could use this opportunity to remove the physical restriction, but he showed a troubled expression on his face.
“I’m not sure either. Although I’ve cured the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s injuries, it’s been some time now. I don’t know if it’s still there.”
Lin Bai knew that the people from the City Lord’s Estate would definitely not be able to find the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. After all, the location he had provided was wrong in the beginning. It was just that he was not sure if the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s location was still there.
Chen Yan, however, expressed that he could understand. “It doesn’t matter. Whether we can find it or not, it’s better than doing nothing now.”
Lin Bai, however, showed a hesitant expression. “But here –“
Chen Yan knew what he was worried about. “Don’t worry. I’ll explain to the guards here. When I explain the situation to master and manager Zhao, they’ll naturally agree.”
Chen Yan was very quick. He immediately reported the situation to Yan Hua, Ren Zeyuan, and the others. It was related to the City Lord, so they did not object. They only requested that Lin Bai return as soon as possible.
“Master and the others agreed. They only have one request. They need to send someone to follow you and provide you with help.” It sounded like they were helping, but they were just trying to monitor Lin Bai’s actions.
Although Ren Zeyuan and the others were not worried that Lin Bai would escape, after all, he still had many of his senior and junior brothers at the Shao family’s side. He could run away, but they could not run away unless he did not care about the lives of so many people. However, just in case, it was better to send people to follow him.
If that was the case, it would be very inconvenient for him to move. However, if he deliberately shook off these people, the people of the City Lord’s Estate would more or less suspect his actions. It would not be good for them to be wary of him.
“My suggestion is that it is best not to send people to follow him. The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is highly vigilant against humans and is extremely sensitive to scents. If there are too many people and it is disturbed, I’m afraid that it will not be willing to show itself. Then, wouldn’t I have wasted my trip?”
Chen Yan thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. “Alright then, you can act alone. I’ll inform the Vice City Lord and the others.”
With the Vice City Lord’s order, Lin Bai was led by the guards to the gate of the City Lord’s Estate without any obstruction. Then, he walked out openly.
After making sure that there was no one following him, he wandered around the city before walking towards the forest on the outskirts. There were four larger forests in the north, south, east, and west of the capital. Lin Bai was heading towards the west.
At that time, the City Lord’s estate had sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, he told them it was the forest on the east side.
As he had been under surveillance for the past few days and there were too many people patrolling around him, Lin Bai had not been able to find an opportunity to transmit his strength. At this moment, he hurriedly summoned Little Green, Little Red, and the few other pet beasts.
A flash of spirit light could be seen in the air, and a green shadow instantly coiled around the treetops on the side like a bolt of lightning. Because of Lin Bai’s instructions, Little Green’s current figure was still small, so it was not easy to attract attention.
In reality, Little Green’s current figure was already exceptionally large. In the past, it could still wrap itself around Lin Bai’s wrist. Those who did not know would have thought that it was some sort of bracelet ornament.
If it were to wrap itself around him now, Lin Bai’s entire wrist would probably be crippled. It was more than enough to wrap itself around a person. From this, one could see how large its body was.
Little Red’s body was only slightly larger than before. Perhaps it was because it was already quite large to begin with.
They were also suffocating. In an instant, the few of them ran away without a trace. As for Little Black, perhaps it had not fully recovered from his injuries or because it was slow to begin with, it just stayed where he was without any changes.
Lin Bai casually set up a barrier. If anyone approached, it would alert them. Moreover, Little Red, Little Green and the others were there. There was no need to worry about strangers.
[ Ding! ]
[ The host pa.s.sed on thirty days of cultivation to Little Black. ]
[ A hundred times return has been successfully triggered! ]
[ The host has received three thousand days of cultivation! ]
The pure white spiritual energy wrapped around Lin Bai, Little Black and Little Green. The spiritual energy was extremely concentrated, like willow catkins dancing in the sky. It surrounded the surroundings, even attracting the nearby spiritual energy and fusing into it.
Even the gra.s.s and the treetops were covered with white dewdrops. They were not formed by ordinary water vapor, but by the gathering of the spiritual power.
The wounds on Little Black’s body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were still some blood stains on the turtle sh.e.l.l, but now they had completely peeled off. The entire turtle sh.e.l.l looked even darker and purer, like thick ink.
It was obvious that its cultivation level had increased by a small level.
Lin Bai realized that every time Little Black was injured, not only would its recovery speed become faster after it recovered from its injuries, but its defensive power would also be much stronger than before, even if it had not advanced in cultivation level.
It was unknown when Little Green and Little Red had run back. They watched from the side with envious expressions. Lin Bai could not help but find it funny when he saw such a scene.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn next time.”
Little Black was still digesting the spiritual energy in his body, but Lin Bai had already absorbed all of it. However, because the spiritual energy was too abundant, some of it also flowed out and spread into the distance. A faint spiritual mist spread out on the ground. In the depths of the forest, something seemed to be alarmed, and a pair of ice-blue eyes suddenly opened..
