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

The demonic energy that originally erupted during the Demonic Calendar Era has unexpectedly already existed during the Immortal Ancient Era.

Moreover, according to Lin Heng's perception through the power of rules, this demonic energy has already deeply penetrated Chu Lihai's spiritual root.

This is different from the demonic energy that Gesang Nazha left in her spiritual root.

The demonic energy within Chu Lihai's body seemed to have replaced the spiritual energy in his spiritual root, serving as the source for his cultivation...

"Young Master Lin, rest assured, I will never force Fairy Yu to be my cultivation consumables again. I can guarantee that!"

Seeing that Lin Heng had not spoken for a long time, Chu Lihai, who had been hanging upside down by the Xuangen Ancient Tree for several days, was already struggling to hold on.

So he not only fawned over Lin Heng, but also showered Yu Zhiyue with attention: "Fairy Yu, I was bold and blind before. With your status, how could I be worthy of you? Only an outstanding cultivator like Young Master Lin can become your Daoist partner, right?"

The Dao, a Daoist companion?!

Upon hearing this address, Yu Zhiyue felt her heart beat a little faster.

Although she knew Chu Lihai was deliberately trying to please her, she still couldn't help but steal a glance at Lin Heng beside her.

Yu Zhiyue's intimacy level increased by 5, now it's 15.

"?"

Upon seeing the feedback in the Immortal Slave Manual, Lin Heng's eye twitched involuntarily.

Why is Chu Lihai being so obviously attentive, and even making her feel good about himself?

Is it true that her inner self is the same as the yandere personality she had in tide Ying's dream, but it just hasn't been revealed yet?

"All right."

Suddenly, Lin Heng raised his head.

"Huh?"

Okay, alright?

Yu Zhiyue opened her eyes wide.

Does Young Master Lin mean... that he agrees with Chu Lihai's statement?

However, the next moment, Lin Heng calmly said to Chu Lihai, "Since you want to come down, you have to tell me first how your Dark Sect managed to find this place."

So that's what Young Master Lin meant...

Yu Zhiyue pursed her thin lips, her mood calming down but also feeling a little regretful.

"This matter is actually a bit complicated, Young Master Lin, please allow me to carefully consider my words..."

Chu Lihai is stalling for time as much as possible.

Because he knew that his demonic energy had already been released.

If nothing unexpected happens, his father will find this place soon!

Seeing that Chu Lihai hadn't been able to explain himself for a long time, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and then mobilized the spiritual energy of the Xuangen Ancient Tree.

"ah!!!"

In an instant, the spiritual energy within Chu Lihai's body was once again drained away.

He never expected that he would be tormented by this strange array again, when he only wanted to relax on the last day!

"If you don't want to talk, then keep stalling and don't waste my time."

After casually uttering this sentence, Lin Heng turned around and prepared to return to the cabin.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, an old voice in the air made Lin Heng stop in his tracks.

Turning around, Lin Heng looked up.

An old man with white hair was seen floating in the air, stepping on a cloud of black mist.

The aura of spiritual power emanating from that person immediately made Lin Heng feel a sense of pressure far exceeding that of Chu Lihai before.

If Lin Heng wasn't mistaken, the other party's cultivation level had probably already reached the Nascent Soul stage...

"Young Master Lin!"

Yu Zhiyue quickly came over and stood next to Lin Heng, and whispered, "He is Chu Jiangfeng, the second elder of the Yunling Sect."

As she spoke, she prepared to cast a magic spell from her sleeve.

Although she knew that the other party's strength was probably more than one major realm beyond her and Lin Heng's...

"Oh?"

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and teased Chu Jiangfeng above him, "The young master has been captured, and now even the old man has come?"

Even when facing Chu Jiangfeng, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Heng remained relaxed.

If it were a few days ago, he might have found it a bit troublesome.

But now, he has set up a sufficient array around this small wooden house.

If combined with the Soft Vine Spirit Locking Technique on his spirit runes, which possesses the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chu Jiangfeng, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, would not pose a threat.

"Rude young man."

Chu Jiangfeng's gaze fell on Lin Heng, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "So it was you who captured my son?"

"Don't talk about arresting or not."

Lin Heng smiled slightly, relaxed: "Didn't your son run around everywhere and get caught hanging from a tree?"

"Um?"

Chu Jiangfeng clearly felt that even though he had spread his spiritual energy, this kid showed no fear whatsoever!

Why is that?

He was clearly just a mere Crystallization Realm cultivator, not even having broken through to the Golden Core Realm yet...

Subconsciously, Chu Jiangfeng began to observe his surroundings.

Soon, his gaze fell on Yu Zhiyue, who was standing next to Lin Heng, and his eyes lit up.

Isn't that the Prime Minister's niece?

These fairies with high spiritual roots and purity are excellent resources for their Dark Sect's cultivation methods, allowing them to improve their own cultivation through fellow practitioners.

No wonder his son was here; he had discovered Yu Zhiyue's presence!

However, Chu Jiangfeng's heart skipped a beat.

At the same time, he sensed that a dense array was set up on the soil surrounded by mountains!

This must be what that ungrateful young man is relying on!

"You are a formation master?"

Suddenly, Chu Jiangfeng's tone softened a bit as he spoke from the air.

"Looks like the old man's eyesight isn't bad?"

Lin Heng kept smiling as he looked at him, while he himself was ready to activate the Soft Vine Soul Locking Technique at any time.

At this moment, Chu Lihai shouted loudly to Chu Jiangfeng, "Father! Kill him quickly! This brat has drained my spiritual energy several times!"

"Shut up!"

"what?"

To Chu Lihai's surprise, Chu Jiangfeng glared at him.

What does this mean?

"Young friend."

After taking a deep breath, Chu Jiangfeng looked at Lin Heng again: "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. My son may indeed have gone down the wrong path."

"Father……"

Chu Lihai was completely dumbfounded.

I've been hanging here for so many days, how did it become a misunderstanding?

However, Chu Jiangfeng knew very well how much a formation master could help a faction in the Immortal Realm.

Especially regarding their quietly developing secret sect...

"Young friend, let's calm down and have a proper talk, shall we?"

At this moment, Chu Jiangfeng asked Lin Heng in a consultative tone.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Heng looked at him calmly.

"Join the Dark Sect."

Chu Jiangfeng said directly to Lin Heng, "With your talent, young friend, Lord Cheng will surely teach you our Dark Sect's special techniques to accelerate your cultivation."

Lord Cheng should be Yu Zhiyue's uncle, the former prime minister of Tian Shu Kingdom.

Following that, Chu Jiangfeng continued, "Our Dark Sect controls the core resources of the five major sects in the Immortal Realm. For example, I can use all the resources of the Yunling Sect to cultivate you, young friend. Therefore, you will not receive the same treatment as those who join our Dark Sect, no matter which sect you join."

Furthermore…

After a pause, Chu Jiangfeng's gaze fell on Yu Zhiyue beside Lin Heng. "Although Lord Cheng intends to give his niece to his personal disciple as cultivation material, with your abilities, I believe Lord Cheng will agree to bestow her upon you."

Stop dreaming!

At this moment, Yu Zhiyue said to Chu Jiangfeng, "How could Young Master Lin, a righteous man, possibly accept the benefits you mentioned..."

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, Lin Heng smiled and looked at Chu Jiangfeng: "The benefits you mentioned are actually quite tempting."

what?

Yu Zhiyue turned her head and stared blankly at Lin Heng.
