After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

After bringing Lin Heng to his destination, the Wood Spirit Root Fairy beside him tactfully left.

Lin Heng walked into the house, closed the door behind him, and sat down opposite Yun Yue.

Yun Yue also poured Lin Heng a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of him: "Young Master, have you been to the City Lord's dungeon?"

Lin Heng nodded and said calmly, "Yes, and I also met two disciples from your Yunling Sect."

"Two?"

Yun Yue was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Fine. After all, whether it's Qing He or Ting Lan, they are both core disciples of my sect. We don't usually interact much, so it's normal that I only know two inner disciples."

"You mean, there weren't only two members of the Yunling Sect in that dungeon?"

"Um."

Yun Yue nodded gently: "Including the outer disciples and servants, there are a total of twenty-six disciples from our Yunling Sect in that dungeon. The other fairies and cultivators inside are disciples from other sects, whose levels in the Immortal Realm are equivalent to our Yunling Sect."

"They're all from major sects?"

Lin Heng quickly found the common ground among them.

Connecting the wounds on the fairies and cultivators in the dungeon, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

After glancing at Yun Yue, Lin Heng continued, "From what I can tell, the Deer King and his group probably want to obtain information that only your major sects would know. Your two inner disciples have multiple marks of torture on their bodies."

Upon hearing that her disciples had been tortured in the dungeon, Yun Yue couldn't help but frown. She picked up her teacup and took a sip to hide her worry.

"But there's one thing I'm curious about."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at her. "Since they want to get information from the disciples of the major sects, why don't they just ask you directly? You've even become the proprietress of the Misty Pavilion."

"Initially, they did want to arrest me."

When Yun Yue raised her head and put down her teacup, her expression had returned to calm.

"However, as the sect leader of Yunling Sect, even when I perished, I carried the sect's secret techniques with me."

She said casually, "After witnessing the power of the secret technique, Mi Yuanzheng naturally dared not attack me again, and besides..."

After a pause, Yun Yue looked at Lin Heng: "I have value to Jinlu City, and even to the entire Tian Shu Kingdom. As for the reason, you can ask the elder of the General Administration."

Tian Qianchen?

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

He remembered clearly that when he mentioned the mines of Golden Deer City at the City Lord's Mansion, Tian Qianchen was obviously taken aback.

However, the situation was rather unusual at the time, and Lin Heng hadn't had a chance to ask him yet.

"If he doesn't tell you, you can temporarily understand it as me helping Jinlu City cultivate fairy maidens."

Yun Yue glanced at Lin Heng. "I heard you also did some business with four wealthy businessmen in Jinlu City?"

"Sect Master Yun, you don't need to worry about that."

Lin Heng didn't answer her question, but instead said directly, "Now that I've been to the dungeon, shouldn't you tell me some information about the falling star?"

"The star fell..."

Yun Yue pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I can only tell you that the location is in Shen Zu's Xuanji Mine. Although I didn't see what the thing that fell from the Immortal Realm was, I am very familiar with the aura on it."

"Is it a fairy? Or some treasure from your celestial realm?"

"She is definitely not a fairy."

Yun Yue shook her head firmly, then looked at Lin Heng with a complicated expression.

"Sect Master Yun, if you don't even continue with this much information, it may be difficult for our cooperation to continue."

Lin Heng shrugged and said bluntly, "I guess you're sending me to the dungeon for more than just a simple visit to your Yunling Sect disciples, right?"

"All right."

After sighing, Yun Yue continued, "The fallen object had Ting Lan's aura on it, and the power of its rules was very strong... Unfortunately, I don't have any spiritual power right now, so I can't sense what it is."

"Mu Tinglan?"

Lin Heng's eyes immediately lit up.

You should know that his most urgent task right now is to trigger Mu Tinglan's Tide Summoning Seal!

Moreover, it possesses a strong power of rules, and is very likely the key item to trigger the Tide-Summoning Seal.

"Yes, but ordinary people can't get into Shen Zu's mine."

Yun Yue said to Lin Heng, "Even if the elder from the General Administration Division beside you intervenes, Shen Zu might not agree to let you in. Unless…"

Yun Yue paused halfway through her sentence.

Lin Heng said helplessly, "Sect Leader Yun, I don't like people keeping me in suspense."

"Unless you can find a chance to infiltrate the area when the demonic tide arrives, only then will Shen Zu send people to assist the City Lord's Mansion in resisting the demonic tide. But the problem is, it's difficult for ordinary people to survive in the demonic tide, so how could they possibly go to the mines during it?"

Yun Yue finished speaking and added, "Actually, my hesitation just now wasn't because I didn't want to mention the demonic tide, but because I was considering whether or not to tell you the way to resist it."

"You have another way?"

Lin Heng immediately became interested.

Actually, he's not worried about lower-level demonic tides right now.

Not to mention staying in the Cloud Oasis, the last Heart-Eating Demon Wolf didn't even leave a single hair on the Cloud Oasis.

Now he himself has the spirit runes that can release the Extinction Fire Pearl, plus three immortal servants by his side who can restore spiritual power. He might not be able to roam freely in the demonic tide, but entering a mine would definitely not be a problem.

But when Yun Yue said she actually had a solution, Lin Heng couldn't help but become curious.

After all, Lin Hengke had never revealed his true intentions to her.

"Let's leave that aside for now."

After thinking about it, Yun Yue still felt uneasy about telling Lin Heng.

After all, this matter concerns the safety of her most beloved disciple.

She said in a low voice, "Right now, what I really want to know is what information Mi Yuanzheng wants to obtain from the disciples of the major sects? Is it the sect's immortal techniques and secret arts, or some immortal pills and treasures? But the immortal realm has collapsed, where would these things still exist..."

"etc."

Suddenly, Lin Heng had a guess in his mind.

Why can't a major sect be an ancient sect?

"What's wrong?"

"If I remember correctly, I think Lan mentioned it before."

Lin Heng looked at Yun Yue and deliberately only told her half the story: "When she accompanied you to an ancient sect once, she heard that the ancient sect possessed some kind of mysterious and powerful treasure?"

"An ancient sect...you mean, the Thousand Branches Vine Sword?!"

For a moment, Yun Yue was somewhat flustered, staring at Lin Heng in surprise.

Lin Heng shrugged and simply nodded.

But at that moment, he heard Yun Qinghe's panicked voice in his mind: "Master, please... could you give Senior Sister some spiritual herbs to help her wounds heal?"
