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

"He is only permitted to use it..."

Bao Haifeng muttered to himself, then stared blankly at Lin Heng: "But he's already a lord of a private territory, how can he use the treasures unearthed by our General Administration?"

"This is the princess's order."

Tao Hongzhou said calmly.

"No, absolutely impossible!"

Bao Haifeng shook his head and said, "The treasure underground is a precious array!"

As he spoke, he pounced on the array that led into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, his hands groping the stone bricks on it.

"Such formations have always been analyzed and studied by our General Administration Division. How could the Princess entrust them to an outsider? Could it be that the Princess is colluding with an outsider who owns private land...?"

Elder Bao.

Tao Hongzhou said calmly, "Don't forget the establishment of the General Administration Office, and who exactly gave us the authority to explore the eternal resting tomb of the Five Source Immortal Venerables."

Bao Haifeng trembled and whispered, "It's a letter the Emperor found on the Princess's body after she passed away..."

"That's right."

Tao Hongzhou turned to look at Lin Heng and said meaningfully, "Moreover, the princess said that Lord Lin Heng has never been an outsider."

"?"

Lin Heng looked at Tao Hongzhou with a puzzled expression.

After giving Lin Heng a reassuring look, Tao Hongzhou's expression turned cold again.

"Alright, Elder Bao, the Emperor knows everything you did at Zaxi Pass. Constructing a magic array to summon monsters without permission violates Article 21 of the General Administration's Array Construction Regulations. Furthermore, transporting the array from Zaxi Pass to Yunma Snow Mountain without permission violates Article 3 of the Array Trade Regulations."

As he spoke, Tao Hongzhou waved to the guards who were accompanying him.

Several armored guards from the General's Guard came directly to Bao Haifeng's sides.

"The Emperor decreed that Bao Haifeng be stripped of his title as Elder of the General Administration for life and be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to reflect on his sins."

As soon as Tao Hongzhou finished speaking, the guards on either side of Bao Haifeng grabbed his arms and dragged him up from the ground.

"Sigh... never mind."

But now, instead of fiercely resisting, Bao Haifeng sighed deeply.

Even after Tao Hongzhou had him taken away, he didn't utter a single word.

But before leaving, when he looked at Lin Heng, there was a strange fear in his eyes...

"Owner."

At this moment, Mu Tinglan whispered to Lin Heng, "Elder Bao is not long for this world."

"Um?"

Lin Heng looked at him in confusion: "Why?"

"The initial purpose of cultivating oneself to become an immortal is to extend one's lifespan."

Mu Tinglan said softly, "That Bao Haifeng is a mortal immortal who has awakened his spiritual root. Although he, like Elder Tian, ​​has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it has granted him several hundred years of lifespan. But..."

After a pause, she frowned slightly and said, "I don't know why, but before Master went to Yunma Snow Mountain, he still had at least a hundred years of life left. But now, it seems he only has less than two years left."

Lin Heng stroked his chin, pondering, and said, "Perhaps it's because of that demonic energy?"

When Bao Haifeng came into the cave earlier, he mentioned things like lifespan and sacrifices...

"Lord Lin Heng."

At this moment, Tao Hongzhou stepped forward.

Elder Tao.

Lin Heng nodded at him and asked directly, "What exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Previously, Tao Hongzhou had explicitly told Bao Haifeng that Lin Heng was not an outsider to the princess.

"Actually, this was the Emperor's question when the Princess summoned me here."

Tao Hongzhou recounted the events to Lin Heng in detail: "At that time, the Emperor asked why the Princess cared so much about Lord Lin Heng, not only sending the General Administration to excavate the treasure, but also entrusting the entire treasure to an outsider..."

"And the princess's answer was that Lord Lin Heng is not an outsider."

As he spoke, Tao Hongzhou went to take a look at the formation ahead, then turned to Lin Heng and said, "The princess said that if Lord Lin Heng has any doubts, he can find the answer in this formation."

"I see..."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

Clearly, the princess wanted her to enter this ancient and mysterious realm.

Lin Heng couldn't help but wonder what exactly was within this ancient immortal realm...

"Okay, let's go back and rest first."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Heng turned around and addressed the crowd.

After all, they had experienced a demonic tide where the streets were filled with demonic generals, and both the Zaxi Pass of the Sand Fox Clan and their own Cloud Oasis suffered heavy losses.

In order to prevent the time spent entering this ancient and mysterious realm from exceeding expectations, just like the dream of the source water, Lin Heng decided to rest first.

……

After coming up from the cave.

Both the Jiali cattle clan at the livestock farm and the Sand Fox clan outside the farm were busy with reconstruction work.

Only the sheep demons in the livestock farm seemed at a loss.

The news of Langbu, the chieftain of the Ando sheep tribe, had spread far and wide...

After leaving the livestock farm, Lin Heng did not go to the Sand Fox family again, but directly arranged for Gesang Nazha to help with the reconstruction.

It is worth mentioning that Tao Hongzhou also offered to help the Sand Fox family with the reconstruction work after the Demon Tide.

After all, Zaxi Pass was territory that the Sand Fox family applied for through legitimate channels. Now that the General Administration has come, they will naturally help with some matters related to the territory.

When Lin Heng led the others back to the Cloud Oasis, they realized just how terrifying the demonic tide formed by the Demon Pattern General truly was.

Even though Yun Qinghe had already used the Thousand Branches Vine Sword to repair the Oasis in the Clouds before heading to the cave to meet him.

However, the buildings and structures on the oasis were extensively damaged.

Even some of the fairies' homes have become ruins...

If the upgraded anti-magic array hadn't been located in Lin Heng's courtyard, the damage to the oasis would likely have been even greater.

Lin Heng didn't rest much. He summoned all the immortal servants and demon merchants in the cloud oasis and began to organize the reconstruction work.

"Young Master Lin!"

Just as Lin Heng was assigning tasks to everyone, Xia Feng also came out with his two servants.

Lin Heng said helplessly, "Young Master Xia, I have important business to attend to."

"Aren't you involved in organizational restructuring?"

Xia Feng cautiously glanced at the crowd in front of Lin Heng.

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded.

"That's right!"

Xia Feng immediately called over two fairy servants and then joined the line of fairy servants in front of Lin Heng.

"We are also residents of the Cloud Oasis. Now that our territory needs rebuilding, it's only natural that I, as a citizen, should contribute!"

Xia Feng spoke with righteous indignation, then urged his two immortal servants, "Hurry up! What did I just teach you? Quickly express your opinion!"

Xia Feng's two celestial servants immediately said, "We will follow Young Master Lin's arrangements."
