Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Not long after, Xia Yulan returned carrying the body of a young man.

This swift and decisive action caused Lin Yun to raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Killing someone without even asking if they were a good person is a bit much, isn't it?"

Clearly, he was worried about indiscriminately killing innocent people.

"You can rest assured about Dean Lin."

Xia Yulan glanced at the corpse and sneered.

"Let me put it this way: if we're going to try the wicked, we can just grab a thousand people from Purgatory Island and kill them all, and I guarantee there won't be a single wrongful conviction!"

As a Celestial King who has spent years mingling in the gray areas, Xia Yulan does indeed know more about this than Lin Yun.

Purgatory Island's infamous reputation didn't come overnight.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun nodded.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Even when dealing with Purgatory Island later on, there's absolutely no need to feel any psychological pressure!

At this moment, Xia Yulan looked at him curiously.

"Dean Lin, what are your plans now?"

Since we're talking about disguising ourselves, it's time to get started.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, just you wait and see..."

Lin Yun didn't hide his little talent. After exchanging glances with the blood-clad youth in front of him, golden light gradually emanated from his body!

As the figure shifted, a short while later, a figure exactly the same as the blood-stained youth appeared before Xia Yulan.

From appearance and figure to even the aura emanating from him, they are exactly the same person!

"So? Can you spot the problem with this disguise?"

Lin Yun smiled faintly at her, which truly surprised Xia Yulan.

"Even their voices are exactly the same?!"

"Of course, otherwise where would I get my confidence?"

Lin Yun's lips curled up slightly, while Fufu stared at him with wide eyes.

"Wow, Dean, you're amazing!"

"Good to know. I'll go in first."

Lin Yun patted her head and instructed, "Before I come out, you must listen to Aunt Xia and not run around."

"Okay, Fufu understands!"

As for Xia Yulan, Lin Yun only had one explanation.

Protect Fufu, and no matter what happens in Maple Valley, she must not get involved!

After giving instructions to Fufu and Xia Yulan, Lin Yun followed the original route and headed straight for the heavily guarded Maple Valley!

Lin Yun had two objectives: one was to find the key that Fufu had buried under the tree, and the other was to find out information about Ye Yuhan.

Even now, he's still not quite sure how Ye Yuhan ended up in trouble in Maple Valley...

Before long, Lin Yun entered Maple Valley, and everything went smoothly so far.

He swaggered in, and perhaps because of his aura, none of the cultivators from Purgatory Island tried to stop him.

Some people even nod respectfully when they see him.

"How strange, could it be that I've disguised myself as one of the young masters of Purgatory Island?"

Lin Yun was somewhat surprised, but this was a good thing, to avoid any trouble along the way.

In this way, Lin Yun quickly and easily entered Maple Valley and arrived at the large tree where the Fufu treasure was placed.

Looking at the rather obvious piglet mark, Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl, he definitely couldn't let her hide things so easily in the future.

Fortunately, there were no signs of excavation in this area. Lin Yun directly imbued his hands with immortal power and began digging in the damp ground.

Unexpectedly, after digging for only a short while, they touched something hard...

A glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes—the item was still there!

He quickly grabbed it and, sure enough, found a golden key covered in mud in the soil!

"This key is no ordinary key..."

Although the key's surface was covered in mud, it could not conceal its inner brilliance, and the sacred aura it contained was something Lin Yun had never seen before in his life!

Even if you told him that this was the key to the tomb of a certain immortal emperor, he probably wouldn't have a single doubt.

From this perspective, Fufu's family in Maple Valley is definitely not an ordinary family; they just haven't told Fufu the truth yet.

Come to think of it, if it were me, I probably wouldn't dare tell Fufu either.

Now that he had the treasure, Lin Yun planned to talk to people around him to see if he could get any useful information.

Just as he was pondering, a questioning voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mu Feng? What are you doing lurking around here, kid?"

Lin Yun's gaze narrowed slightly, and he instantly put away the golden key in his hand.

When he turned his head, he saw a man in blood-red clothes, exuding an extremely strong aura, staring intently at him.

"Did you dig that out of the ground?"

"Uh, uh..."

Lin Yun froze for a moment, not expecting to run into someone he knew right away.

The key point is that he hasn't even chosen his words yet.

But there was no time to hesitate, so Lin Yun could only nod calmly.

"Yes, we saw a pattern and wanted to dig it up to see if there was any treasure."

The man in the blood-stained clothes glanced at the pig's head pattern and raised an eyebrow.

"So, what did you dig up?"

"There's nothing there. It was probably drawn by a child."

Lin Yun snorted coldly, looking furious.

"If I find out who drew this, I'll tear them to pieces!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the blood-stained clothes sneered.

"Almost everyone here has been wiped out, you probably don't have a chance."

"Oh, I see. That's a real shame..."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. We have important things to do."

"Important matter?"

Lin Yun was instinctively taken aback, which made the man in blood-stained clothes frown.

He immediately stepped forward and examined it carefully from head to toe.

Once he confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Mu Feng and not someone else in disguise, he let out a light snort and said irritably.

"Are you sleepwalking, kid? We only let you out this time because we wanted to get this treasure."

Although he hadn't explained yet, Lin Yun knew he couldn't give himself away any more, so he smiled and nodded.

"Oh, just kidding. How could I forget something this important?"

Upon hearing this, the man in blood glared at him and said irritably.

"You brat, what time is it? Still joking around?"

Then, he gave his instructions with a serious expression.

"You're the only one waiting for me inside. Don't embarrass me when we meet that lord!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely do my best!"

Although I don't know what happened, in the current situation, nodding in agreement is the safest bet.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man in blood-stained clothes nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good. Come with me now."

Then he led Lin Yun straight to a grand hall in Maple Valley.

During this time, all the guards from Purgatory Island they encountered along the way bowed respectfully to them.

"Elder Ghost Hand, Lord Mu Feng..."

Lin Yun was not surprised at all that they respected the ghostly hand. Judging from his senses, this blood-clothed man was most likely also a Celestial King level expert!

However, the person he was disguised as, despite being only at the Xuanxian realm, was addressed as "Master"?

Before long, Lin Yun and he passed through layers of guards and arrived at the deepest part of a great hall!

When the space suddenly opened up, they arrived at a huge room deep inside the main hall, where several powerful figures were gathered!

Even the guy who chased him outside Qiming Immortal City last time and was almost killed by his sword was there.

However, Lin Yun was unaware that this guy was Xiao Yuhan's enemy, Sheng Yuan, the patriarch of the Dongdu Sheng family...

When Lin Yun glanced at it, he was taken aback.

"Huh? What's she doing here?!"

Logically speaking, this should be considered Purgatory Island's territory.

But right now, a woman in silver armor was being guarded by many powerful figures from Purgatory Island in the main hall, each of them looking extremely respectful.

Lin Yun recognized her at a glance; wasn't this woman none other than Feng Ling, the White Tiger Immortal King of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, from the last time they were in the city?!

Her superb figure and enviable curves could not be concealed even when she was clad in silver armor.

Beneath the skirt and armor were a pair of shapely, long legs, and even the high-heeled boots on her legs were extremely beautiful!

It's that arrogant attitude of the other party that makes you want to pin them to the ground and teach them a lesson!

No, we should let Xingwu use the same methods she used on the Demon Queen on her, but on a double scale!

"Hey kid, what are you standing there for?"

Ghost Hand patted Lin Yun on the shoulder and said irritably.

"Hurry up and pay your respects to Lord White Tiger!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun snapped out of his daze and stepped forward to bow to him.

"This junior greets Lord White Tiger!"

At the same time, he was already making plans in his mind.

Judging from this situation, could the Purgatory Island that's wreaking havoc be a front man for the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace?!

This point was thoroughly confirmed by what the Great Ghost Hand said next.

Ghost Hand patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"You should thank the master properly. If it weren't for his master giving us the massive resources of Purgatory Island, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today!"

"Um... Thank you, thank you, sir!"

Lin Yun bowed repeatedly in gratitude, while inwardly sending his regards to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

Okay, okay, so this is how you protect the celestial realm, huh? Outwardly respectable, but secretly raising a bunch of rabid dogs...

Even now, it cannot be ruled out that the destruction of Maple Valley by Purgatory Island was ordered by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace!

Just as he was inwardly complaining, Fengling looked him over and suddenly frowned.

"Have we... met somewhere before?"

"Um, I don't think so."

The ghost hand who brought Lin Yun in asked in confusion.

"This kid has been cultivating on Purgatory Island and rarely comes out. There's no way Lord White Tiger could have seen him."

"Hmm... that's true. Don't worry about it. I just have a feeling about it."

Feng Ling waved her hand, thinking it was just an illusion.

Lin Yun felt a chill run down his spine; this woman's sixth sense was quite strong...

At this moment, Fengling looked at him and said calmly.

"You must be Mu Feng, the island lord. This time, it all depends on you."

Ghost Hand chimed in with a laugh, "That's right, Lord White Tiger, don't let his young age and low cultivation level fool you."

"But when it comes to the research on this kind of ancient formation, Mu Feng is definitely a formation master, probably even more powerful than the formation masters of many immortal palaces!"

Wind Chime nodded and smiled, offering a three-word evaluation.

"Yes, Not Bad."

According to the Lord of Purgatory Island, Mu Feng is a genius who specializes in attacking ancient formations, making him perfect for the current situation!

Lin Yun was stunned as they chatted away, praising themselves to the skies.

Master of Formations?

Where is he?

me?

Although he was completely bewildered, Lin Yun pretended to be calm in order to avoid revealing his true feelings.

"Let's put aside the praise for now and let me take a look at the formation first."

Since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

Upon hearing this, Fengling nodded slightly.

"Come with me, the sealing formation is in the underground next door..."

A large group followed, and during this time, Lin Yun managed to piece together the whole story by subtly inquiring and listening to their conversations.

It turns out that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace discovered a powerful ancient seal on an ancient scroll, dating back to the early days of the Immortal Realm!

After extensive investigation, it was discovered that a demonic sword was sealed here. In ancient times, each wielder of this sword once dominated the immortal realm!

Ultimately, however, those who wield the sword are all devoured by the demonic sword, thus giving it a fearsome reputation!

Until a powerful array master obtained the demonic sword and suppressed it with a special sealing array, and thereafter lived here, multiplying and thriving...

Fufu's family are descendants of this array master, thousands of generations later.

After learning this information, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace secretly ordered Purgatory Island to slaughter and occupy Maple Valley, waiting to find a way to break the formation and obtain the legendary demonic sword!

However, because this ancient formation is so rare and its effects are not as good as modern formations, there are very few researchers in the current era, resulting in them being completely clueless about this formation.

Although the Heavenly Dao Palace Master could forcefully break the formation, the commotion would be too great and would inevitably attract the attention of someone like the Xuanming Demon Emperor!

As luck would have it, there happened to be a genius on Purgatory Island who had been immersed in ancient formations for hundreds of years and could easily break this type of sealing formation.

That's right, that was Mu Feng, um... the Mu Feng who was killed by Xia Yulan...

When the group arrived at an underground palace, an incredibly magnificent sealing array came into view!

Then, everyone turned to look at 'Mu Feng', who was an expert in this type of formation!

Feng Ling looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Young Master Mu, this is the sealing formation. We are now entirely relying on you."

"um, I……"

Lin Yun had mixed feelings. You rely on me? Who the hell do I rely on?

Although he had some knowledge of formations, it was really just a superficial understanding; he knew nothing about formations from ancient times.

But seeing the expectant and eager gazes of the crowd, Lin Yun felt that he still had to do something...
