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

After the rat-faced demon merchant left, Lin Heng leisurely went to the entrance of the Cloud Oasis alone.

From afar, he saw a slender, still figure standing.

Her plain white gauze dress fluttered in the wind, and although her face was covered by a light veil, her eyes looked over from afar after Lin Heng appeared.

"Sect Master Yun?"

Lin Heng stepped forward and greeted him with a calm smile.

"You actually recognized me?"

Yun Yue looked at him with some surprise, and somewhat uncertainly adjusted the thin veil covering her face.

Lin Heng shook his head: "It wasn't based on your appearance, I just guessed it was you."

Yun Yue then stopped adjusting the veil and nodded to Lin Heng, saying, "These past few days, I've noticed that people from the Xuanji Mine frequently come here, seemingly trying to gather information."

"I know."

Lin Heng said casually, "Mu Tinglan's injury was intentionally caused by him."

"he?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Yue's eyes.

But it was quickly replaced by a fierce glint.

You should know that Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe are her most prized disciples...

Lin Heng continued, "Furthermore, there is demonic energy present in the minerals that scratched Mu Tinglan."

"Demonic energy?!"

Yun Yue's pupils dilated instantly.

The next moment, she clenched her fists, her brows furrowing: "Could it be that she wants Tinglan to do that kind of thing...?"

"What are you doing?" Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yun Yue took a deep breath and looked at Lin Heng with a complicated expression: "Do you know what type of fairy maidens Shen Zu bought the most at the Misty Pavilion?"

Lin Heng shook his head.

"They are immortal maidens with fire elemental roots and immortal maidens with water elemental roots."

Yun Yue said in a deep voice, "Because a fairy with a fire spirit root can help remove impurities from the minerals in his mine and use the remaining mineral water to produce minerals. But a water spirit root..."

She pursed her lips, then continued with a grim face, "It can help him purify the toxic grime in the mine so that mining operations can proceed. But the price is that the toxic grime will be absorbed by the Water Spirit Root Fairy..."

"Although he claimed that the immortal slaves in the mine were all recruited from other places, as the owner of the Misty Pavilion, I can recognize them no matter how their spiritual roots have been damaged."

"Sect Master Yun."

Lin Heng quipped meaningfully, "It seems you're also quite familiar with the 'Fairy Maidens' industry chain in Golden Deer City?"

Yun Yue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

Why was she unwilling to see those two disciples she clearly loved the most?

It's because she knows perfectly well that what she's doing in Golden Deer City is actually aiding and abetting evil...

Logically speaking, she wouldn't easily mention something like this to anyone.

The reason she brought this up with Lin Heng was because she had been very anxious during those ten days: "Young Master Lin Heng, what about Tinglan now...?"

"If you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better not ask."

Lin Heng interrupted her directly.

Yun Yue paused for a moment, but still understood what Lin Heng meant: "So Ting Lan is alright?"

"I've already said that," Lin Heng still didn't answer her directly.

But the more vague Lin Heng's words were, the more at ease Yun Yue felt.

After all, Lin Heng's keeping Mu Tinglan's information a secret naturally indicates that he already has a way to deal with Shen Zu.

"The next demonic tide should be coming soon. If Shen Zu did these things to Ting Lan... he must be desperately looking for a water spirit fairy to help him cleanse himself of the poison."

Yun Yue analyzed for Lin Heng: "The star that fell during the last demonic tide was smashed into a mine pit in his mine. He seemed to have discovered that there was a special spiritual ore in the mine, so he sent people to protect it early on. That's why I didn't actually see the star that fell when I went there last time."

Lin Heng nodded slowly: "So, if nothing unexpected happens, if he finds out that I have a Water Spirit Root Fairy transformed into a Heart-Eating Demon Wolf, he will definitely come to me and try every means to take that Heart-Eating Demon Wolf to the mine to remove the poison?"

"Um."

Yun Yue nodded.

Although demonic energy can transform a fairy into a demon, her inherent spiritual characteristics will not disappear as a result.

But upon hearing Lin Heng's words, Yun Yue frowned: "Wait, are you saying... Ting Lan has already turned into the Heart-Eating Demon Wolf?"

"Sect Leader Yun, I'll repeat myself, I've already explained her situation."

Lin Heng shook his head helplessly.

After all, before Shen Zu actually came looking for him, if it were really as Yun Yue analyzed, he wouldn't reveal who the Heart-Eating Demon Wolf really was.

Even if it's the sect leader of Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe.

Soon enough, Yun Yue didn't ask any more questions.

Now, she has no other choice but to trust Lin Heng.

But she couldn't help asking, "So what are you planning to do?"

Lin Heng said casually, "Of course I'll go take a look. I'm also curious about what that fallen star was."

"But Shen Zu has studied quite a few magic arrays. Going there without permission could be dangerous..."

Halfway through her sentence, Yun Yue seemed to remember something.

Last time, she didn't get an answer from Lin Heng because Mu Tinglan was suddenly injured.

After a pause, Yun Yue looked at Lin Heng with a complicated expression and said, "You'll be taking Qing He, and... the Thousand Branches Vine Sword with you?"

After all, in her eyes, the Thousand Branches Vine Sword was the last trump card she left for Yun Qinghe.

To her surprise, the Thousand Branches Vine Sword, which contained immense power, had fallen into the hands of her disciple's slave master...

At this moment, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sect Leader Yun, actually I wanted to ask you this last time, how did you know about the Thousand Branches Vine Sword?"

"The Thousand Branches Vine Sword was left to me by the Sect Master of the Source Fire Sect when he entrusted the newborn Qinghe to me, so that I could use it to cultivate her wood spirit root according to the Source Wood Rules."

Now that the Thousand Branches Vine Sword was already with Lin Heng, Yun Yue no longer concealed it and could only place all her hopes on this slave master of her disciple: "From that moment on, I also became Qing He's half-mother..."

"You mean, the Sect Master of the Source Fire Sect is her mother?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

"Yes, because the Originfire Sect possesses a divine artifact that controls another kind of rule power. She entrusted it to me to prevent the two kinds of Five Origin Rules from conflicting."

Yun Yue nodded and said, "But later, the sect leader of the Yuanhuo Sect seemed to have gained new insights into the power of rules, and took the Thousand Branches Vine Sword back with him."

"Later, when the demonic tide invaded, I also received a message from the Sect Master of the Source Fire Sect. If we wanted to ensure Qinghe's safety, we could find her other daughter who grew up in the human realm, and the Thousand Branches Vine Sword was also with her... Wait!"

Suddenly, Yun Yue looked at Lin Heng with some surprise: "Since you obtained the Thousand Branches Vine Sword, then the daughter of the Origin Fire Sect Master..."

"teacher!"

Just then, a childish voice rang out.

Song Jingyu, holding a spiritual herb, called out to him from afar, "Teacher! Do you have time to teach me how to cultivate the Fire Immortal Mushroom?"

Turning his head, Lin Heng looked at Song Jingyu: "So, your real purpose in giving me the Zhu Rong flower was actually her?"

Yun Yue's eyes widened immediately: "The daughter of the Yuanhuo Sect Master... is also your immortal slave?!"
