Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Elder Jin’s Ambition
Duan Ningyu’s gaze fixed on Jin Yunhai, her complexion looking extremely unsightly, her eyes flickering with a gloomy light.
However, Jin Yunhai had a calm expression, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted to reveal a smile.
"Elder Jin, since you’ve come to Capital City on purpose this time, just say what you have to say!"
Duan Ningyu looked at Jin Yunhai and spoke bluntly, her tone somewhat cold and unfriendly.
"Sect Leader, you should be clear about the importance of the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl to our Five Elements Sect. Since the Sect Leader is unable to retrieve these two treasures, I will have to personally take action to bring the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl back."
Jin Yunhai spoke calmly.
Duan Ningyu’s face changed slightly as she glanced at Jin Yunhai, "Elder Jin, don’t act recklessly, some things are not..."
"Alright, Sect Leader, let’s not talk about it, in any case, I must retrieve the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl. If that kid Ye Luo is willing to hand over the two beads, I’ll spare his life; if not, he cannot blame me for being discourteous. I have plenty of ways to deal with him."
Jin Yunhai made his statement and then stood up to head outside, with Lin Zhishan following closely behind him.
"Jin..."
Duan Ningyu wanted to say something else, but Jin Yunhai had already left the room.
"Sect Leader, isn’t this Jin Yunhai going too far? He doesn’t even take you seriously and even brazenly injured Kun Ling. What exactly is he planning to do?" Shui Lanxin said with a deeply furrowed brow.
"He has probably stepped into the Spirit Sea Realm!"
Duan Ningyu’s face was grave as she spoke solemnly, her eyes flashing with sharpness.
"What? He has broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm?" Shui Lanxin’s face changed.
"If he had not been injured in the past, he would have been a high-level practitioner of the Spirit Sea Realm. Now, after such a long seclusion, it’s clear that he has broken through, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to confront me so directly."
"By injuring Kun Ling and attacking me, he is warning me, and now I cannot see through his strength at all. Evidently, Jin Yunhai has indeed become a powerful figure in the Spirit Sea Realm."
Duan Ningyu said with a heavy expression.
"Sect Leader, what should we do now? If he really has entered the Spirit Sea Realm, it would be very dangerous for you; the Five Elements Sect might fall into Jin Yunhai’s hands again."
Shui Lanxin’s eyebrows remained tightly knit, her face showing a worried expression.
"Even if he has broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm, he won’t act against me so swiftly. Moreover, with three Elders in the Five Elements Sect, it won’t be easy for Jin Yunhai to take control of the entire sect," Duan Ningyu said lightly.
"But these three Elders have been in seclusion for over a decade and haven’t appeared. The current situation is unclear; you still need to be cautious!" Shui Lanxin warned.
Duan Ningyu nodded and said, "What I’m most worried about now are the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl. If these two beads fall into Jin Yunhai’s hands, it would be terrible."
"Sect Leader, this Ye Luo has a close relationship with the War God of the War God’s team. Even if Jin Yuanhai has broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm, taking these two beads won’t be so easy. However, Jin Yuanhai has long coveted the Origin Beads of the Five Elements; you must ensure that the Water Origin Bead and the Earth Origin Bead in your hands do not fall into his!"
Shui Lanxin looked at Duan Ningyu and spoke.
"Not good!" Duan Ningyu suddenly thought of something and hastily made a phone call.
After a long pause, Duan Ningyu’s face was extremely gloomy, and her eyes were filled with thick rage. Her fists were clenched tightly.
"What happened? Sect Leader, could there be a problem with those two Origin Pearls?" Shui Lanxin looked at Duan Ningyu with a feeling of unease in her heart.
"The Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl have all been taken by Jin Yunhai!"
Duan Ningyu said gravely.
"What!"
Shui Lanxin was startled, showing a shocked expression, and quickly asked, "Sect Leader, how could this happen? How did Jin Yunhai come to know the whereabouts of the Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl?"
"Don’t forget, he’s already a Spirit Sea Realm expert; he has birthed his Spiritual Sense. With a sweep of his sense, there’s nothing he can’t find."
"Moreover, the measures I set up to prevent others from stealing the Origin Pearls might be very powerful for Hua Yuan Realm experts, but they are useless in the face of Jin Yuanhai’s current strength. The Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl have both fallen into his hands, damned it!"
As Duan Ningyu spoke, her whole body was shrouded with an oppressive and heavy aura, her eyes flashing with cold anger as her terrifying momentum surged.
"Sect Leader, Jin Yuanhai has taken the Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl for himself; he’s clearly challenging you outright!" Shui Lanxin said with a worried expression.
"Hmph, I will never let the Five Elements Sect and the Five Elements Origin Pearls fall into the hands of that old fool," Duan Ningyu snorted coldly.
Meanwhile, in another room, Jin Yunhai was sitting on a sofa, with Lin Zhishan standing beside him.
In Jin Yunhai’s hands were two lustrous, round beads—one emitting a blue glow, exuding the endlessly continuous momentum of the vast sea.
The other radiated a brown light, carrying a thick, earthy aura; these two beads were the Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl, containing the essence of water and earth from among the Five Elements Origin Pearls.
"Elder, I’m afraid the Sect Leader already knows the news that you have the Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl. What do you think she will do?"
Lin Zhishan couldn’t help but ask.
"What if she knows that I took the Water Origin Pearl and the Earth Origin Pearl? Now I am a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, and she is merely at the Ninth Level of the Hua Yuan Realm. She can’t compare with me at all."
"If I wasn’t still wary of those three old immortals from the Five Elements Sect, I would have already disposed of that woman and taken the position of Sect Leader. Naturally, the Five Elements Origin Pearls belong to me!"
Jin Yuanhai’s eyes flashed with disdain as he huffed coldly.
"Elder, you’re right, only you are fit to be the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect!"
Lin Zhishan said flatteringly. According to the rules of the Five Elements Sect, the five Grand Elders should be on equal footing. However, as the Wood Sect Elder, Lin Zhishan appeared more like a servant beside Metal Sect Elder Jin Yunhai, all due to the difference in their strength.
Lin Zhishan’s cultivation was only at the Fifth Level of the Hua Yuan Realm, whereas Jin Yunhai had reached the Spirit Sea Realm. Naturally, he had become nothing more than a servant.
"Once I get the remaining three Origin Pearls and gather all five of the Five Elements Origin Pearls, absorbing their energy, I won’t have to be cautious of those three old fools anymore. By then, the entire Five Elements Sect will be mine."
Jin Yunhai’s eyes emitted a cold and ruthless glint.
"Find that kid’s whereabouts at once," Jin Yunhai ordered coldly. Lin Zhishan nodded and quickly walked out.
