I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Another young cultivator chimed in, "We tried to trace the mysterious individual's aura, but discovered that after he sealed the Demon Lord, his aura completely disappeared, leaving only a trace of dragon energy, which seems to be related to the ancient dragon clan."

"There has never been any record of anyone in the world of cultivation or the human world having such strength and being able to control dragon energy."

"Being able to conceal his aura and possessing such strength, I'm afraid his identity is not simple." Xuan Yangzi put down the jade talisman, his tone solemn. "The Demon Lord's breaking of the seal is already strange, and yet he was suppressed by these two people together. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems."

"We originally felt that there was something strange about Jin Man. We thought she might be from the Holy Land. Now that she's involved in the Demon Lord's affairs, that mysterious person might actually know her."

The middle-aged cultivator frowned and said, "Should we send someone to the lower realm to investigate the identity of that mysterious person and what Jin Man has been doing in the cultivation world these years?"

"The Demon Lord's situation concerns the safety of both worlds and cannot be left unattended."

Xuan Yangzi pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Not necessary for now. The realm passage is unstable, and rashly sending people down to the realm will easily cause fluctuations."

"First, have the people below closely monitor the movements in the cultivation world and the human world, especially the whereabouts of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect and Jin Man. If that mysterious person appears again, or if Jin Man makes any unusual movements, report immediately."

He paused, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, his tone serious, "The Holy Land guards the order of the two worlds. We must not allow the matter of the Demon Lord to change again, and we must not allow unidentified strongmen to stir up trouble in the human world and the world of cultivation."

"The mysterious man's dragon energy and the power of the secret realm are too special. We must investigate his origins. Whether he is a friend or foe is still unknown."

"Also, select a few of you to go to the Demon Abyss and reinforce the seal."

Two monks in the hall, wearing dark blue robes with dragon patterns, stood up to receive orders. They were the two Zhenyue guards in Longyin Temple who were good at formations and barriers.

The two bowed to Xuan Yangzi and said in a deep voice, "Master, rest assured. We will strengthen the seal of the Demon Abyss and will not allow the Demon Lord to take advantage of the opportunity."

After saying that, the two of them turned and left the hall, their figures transformed into two streams of light and flew away.

Looking at their departing backs, Xuan Yangzi felt melancholy.

……

There was fairy mist all along the way and cranes avoided them, but the two men had no intention of paying attention to the surrounding scenery and were only focused on getting on with their journey.

The seal of the Demon Abyss is of great importance. If any leaks occur due to untimely reinforcement, the consequences will be disastrous.

Half a day later, the two arrived at the entrance of the boundary passage.

This place is completely different from the ethereal fairyland. There is a faint demonic aura in the air, and on the barrier outside the passage, there are still traces of black corrosion left by the Demon Lord when he broke the seal.

The two looked at each other, took out the dragon-patterned jade tokens from their waists, and after injecting spiritual power into them, the jade tokens instantly emitted a golden light, dispelling the evil spirits around them.

After passing through the boundary channel, you will arrive at the desolate area near the Demon Abyss in the world of cultivation.

There was no grass on the ground, and the sky was shrouded in gray fog. In the distance, at the gap in the Demon Abyss, the residual light of the Soul Locking Formation set up by Qingfeng Yumen could be vaguely seen. Although weak, it stubbornly resisted the overflow of demonic energy.

"The Soul-Locking Formation is already mostly broken, relying solely on the cultivators' essence and blood to hold it together. It seems the previous battle was truly dangerous." The cultivator on the left frowned slightly as he looked at the remaining formation in the distance. "We must act quickly. First, reinforce the Soul-Locking Formation, then set up the Dragon Roar Monastery's demon-suppressing barrier. Only with double insurance can we be safe."

The cultivator on the right nodded and took out a yellowed formation diagram from his storage bag. After unfolding it, the dragon pattern on the formation diagram flickered, echoing the patterns on the two people's Taoist robes.

"Let's begin. Use the dragon-patterned jade token as a guide and draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to activate the formation."

The two of them sat cross-legged, pressed the dragon-patterned jade plates on the four corners of the formation diagram, and practiced their skills at the same time.

In an instant, the formation diagram burst into dazzling golden light, and countless dragon patterns flew out from the formation diagram, spreading towards the gap in the Demon Abyss like living things.

Wherever the golden light passed, the residual light of the Soul Locking Formation instantly became brighter, the originally dissipated spiritual power was re-condensed, and the demonic energy in the gap was suppressed tightly, unable to spread outward anymore.

Then, the two of them took out dozens of crystals engraved with dragon patterns and embedded them into the ground around the gap in the Demon Abyss.

The moment the crystal stone fell to the ground, it connected with the dragon pattern in the formation diagram, forming a huge golden barrier that enveloped the entire gap in the Demon Abyss.

Above the barrier, an illusory giant dragon circled and roared, and the dragon's might frightened the demonic energy so much that it trembled and dared not move at all.

After working for two hours, until the Soul Locking Formation was completely stabilized and the Demon-Suppressing Barrier emitted a thick golden light, the two of them slowly stopped working.

The monk on the left wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the reinforced seal.

"This way, even if the Demon Lord attacks from within, he will not be able to break the seal and escape in a short period of time."

"However, we still have to leave a hidden line." The monk on the right said, taking out a black jade talisman from his arms and burying it in the soil at the edge of the barrier.

"This talisman can monitor the movement of the seal. If there is any abnormality, a message will be sent back to Longyin Temple immediately."

After doing all this, the two of them stood up and flew towards the boundary passage.

Before leaving, they glanced in the direction of Qingcheng Yufa Sect not far away, with a hint of inquiry in their eyes.

The whereabouts of Jin Man and the mysterious man still need to be traced...

After the two figures disappeared in the boundary passage, at the gap in the Demon Abyss, the golden light of the Soul Locking Array and the Demon Suppressing Barrier intertwined, completely locking the demonic energy in the abyss.

However, the black jade talisman buried in the soil was quietly flashing with a faint light in a corner where no one could notice. It was like an eye, silently watching the movements of the Demon Abyss and the entire world of cultivation.

……

The following time was quite leisurely. Mingchuan kept in seclusion to improve his strength and was not disturbed by the outside world.

Especially since Jin Man was there to block other disciples for him.

He was completely focused.

There were only three little ones who had been waiting outside the door for him who had been in seclusion for a long time.

As Mingchuan gradually felt the various changes in his body, his expression became increasingly unsettled.

He would always recall the day when he used the Nine Dragon Sword to cut the Demon Lord back into the seal.

He didn't know why, but he always felt a strange force trying to pull him deeper into the Demonic Abyss...

Just when Mingchuan was practicing his skills again, he suddenly felt a strong attraction. He was so scared that he suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

But when I looked again, I found that the surroundings were extremely quiet and the scene just now did not happen at all.

Mingchuan lowered his head and looked at his palm.

"What exactly is going on……?"

His breathing was not smooth.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Mingchuan was suddenly startled and turned around abruptly: "Who!?"

A sweet voice came from outside the door: "Brother Mingchuan, I'm here to bring you food."

It’s Yaya.

Mingchuan let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

"Is that Yaya? Come in."
