After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

"I'm not playing anymore."

Cang Li landed directly in front of Lin Chu.

"You scions of noble families..."

He choked on his words halfway through.

Because he himself seemed to be from a prominent family, as others described him.

Lin Chu's lips twitched.

Throughout the canyon, the men in black robes wondered why their master was behaving so strangely today.

However, within the strictly hierarchical Devourer Clan, no questioning is allowed; unless the master speaks first, no one dares to utter a single word.

"please."

Cang Li stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

Lin Chu and Ao Tianxin exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Walk."

Qinglian stood there, wanting to say something but hesitating.

She looked at Cang Li, took a few steps forward, and opened her mouth.

"Azure..."

Cang Li didn't waste any words.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side.

Then, he gave Lin Chu a wary look.

Lin Chu: "..."

What does that mean?

Qinglian opened her mouth but said nothing, obediently letting Cangli drag her forward.

Lin Chu stood there, laughing in exasperation.

"What do you take me for?"

Jian Li added a sentence very seriously from the side.

"There are indeed quite a few women around Master."

"Which side are you from?"

"From Master's side."

Jian Li blinked. "That's why I need to keep a closer eye on things."

Lin Chu remained silent, too lazy to continue.

A smile appeared on Ao Tianxin's lips.

The group flew for more than ten miles along the canyon, and a very open flat area in the valley appeared in front of them.

The black and gold palace beams and pillars rose from the ground, and although they were only temporary structures, they exuded a solemn atmosphere.

Outside the main hall, a row of black-robed cultivators stood in neat rows.

Upon seeing Cang Li return, the men in black robes knelt down simultaneously, not daring to raise their heads.

Cang Li waved his hand and led Lin Chu and the others into the hall.

Once everyone had entered the hall, he ordered, "All of you, step back."

The black-robed cultivator retreated silently.

The palace doors closed.

Lin Chu didn't stand on ceremony and looked at Cang Li before speaking directly.

"What's going on with you?"

Cang Li did not sit down, but stood in the hall, looked up at the dome and slowly spoke.

"Since you brought Qinglian with you, you should already have guessed what happened to me."

"At first, I really couldn't hold on much longer."

"He had her completely under his control; she couldn't even take her body back."

He paused, a strange look appearing on his face.

"But what a coincidence."

"That immortal lord bumped into your sister."

"It's Ji Ning."

Lin Chu's gaze sharpened.

"I've seen her at Wanlongtai before, so I recognize her."

As he said this, a hint of fear involuntarily surfaced in his eyes.

"That immortal lord made a rude remark."

"Then……"

He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"He died."

"And it's following the split soul! It's annihilating the original body."

Lin Chu's eyes slowly widened, and she met Ao Tianxin's gaze.

really.

It was the same as the memory fragment that the little elephant had shown him before.

The immortal lord didn't even have a chance to struggle in front of Ji Ning.

Cang Li continued, "She must have recognized me."

"So you let me go."

"After that, I regained control of my body."

"I've refined that Soul Devourer."

He lowered his head and slowly opened his hands.

"Or rather, they've merged."

"His consciousness has been erased, which ironically allowed me to gain everything he had."

"Cultivation, memory, inheritance."

Cang Li clenched his fist.

"But fundamentally speaking, I am no longer a dragon."

"I have become a Devourer."

After listening, Lin Chu remained silent for a long time.

He thought of Ye Chen.

Compared to him, Cang Li's ending is much better.

"You're lucky."

"It's better than being possessed."

Cang Li was taken aback by Lin Chu's words.

Qinglian was sitting quietly beside Cang Li, staring at him intently.

That hint of surprise was written all over his face.

Lin Chu didn't mince words and asked directly.

"Now that you've obtained the memories, you should know quite a bit, right?"

Cang Li's expression turned serious.

"This brings us to the most important thing."

"I saw something in that immortal lord's memories."

"The Immortal Realm is likely to launch another counterattack."

"My memories are incomplete."

"But what is certain is that the Devouring Clan made such a big commotion on the Imperial Road this time in preparation for a counterattack."

His tone became even more somber.

"And behind this group of Devourers, there seems to be a mysterious force."

"That force is the root of everything."

"It's just that the Immortal Lord's level seems too low; he knows very little."

Lin Chu frowned.

really.

This time, I encountered so many Devourers on the Imperial Road.

He had a vague idea.

I just don't know what the Spirit Race's attitude is.

His gaze fell on Qinglian, who was standing beside Cang Li.

At least so far, most of the Elven race I've encountered are no different from myself.

Then, on a whim, he thought of Ji Ning again.

To be precise, it's Ji Ling.

I really can't do anything about her right now.

Forget about fighting.

How can I fight someone who can kill an Immortal Emperor with just a glance?

The good news is that she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.

After all, she recognized Cang Li and let him go.

Previously, when they were in the clan's territory, apart from the missing maid, no one else was harmed.

Let's take it one step at a time.

This is the only way for now.

Just as she was lost in thought, Cang Li stepped forward and completely shielded Qing Lian behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Chu snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes.

"There's something wrong with it."

Cang Li wasn't annoyed and just stood there straight.

Lin Chuyi was completely speechless.

Do I look like the kind of guy who steals other people's girls?

What do you take me for?

He couldn't be bothered to argue with this guy.

Ao Tianxin stood to the side expressionlessly.

From beginning to end, he didn't glance at Cang Li even once.

Cang Li pondered for a moment.

She released Qinglian's hand and walked straight to Ao Tianxin.

Lin Chu raised an eyebrow.

Cang Li took a deep breath in front of Ao Tianxin and then bowed deeply.

"Miss Ao."

"I have offended you in the past."

Ao Tianxin didn't reply, she just looked at him quietly.

Then he straightened up, took out a storage bag from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands.

His expression was complicated.

"In my current state, there's no way I can go back to Longyuan."

"Going back will only implicate everyone."

"These are some rare and precious materials that I found on these floors."

"I'll give you everything."

He paused, his voice filled with earnestness.

"I hope that in the future, Miss Ao can help me take care of the Cang Clan in Longyuan."

"I'm not seeking any kind of development or anything like that."

"With your current potential, plus Lin Chu, your future is limitless."

"If one day the Cang Clan truly falls into decline."

"I only hope they can have a peaceful end."

After speaking, he bowed deeply again.

It lasted longer than before.

Ao Tianxin didn't rush to answer.

She turned to look at Lin Chu.

Lin Chu looked at Cang Li, the once arrogant young master of Longyuan, sighed inwardly, and nodded slightly.

Seeing Lin Chu's response, Ao Tianxin reached out and took the storage bag.
