That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Zisu was both surprised and delighted to receive Lin Zhifeng's wedding gift.

Although he owed Lin Zhifeng a considerable favor as a result, he was still very happy to think that his cultivation could continue.

Lin Jun had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

The joy comes from the fact that her beloved can resume cultivation, and the future looks promising; the worry comes from the fact that once Zisu obtains the Nirvana Pill, she will definitely start cultivating immediately, which means her honeymoon period will be ruined.

Fortunately, Lin Jun was able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent, so he let it go despite his regrets.

In short, since Zisu can continue to cultivate and increase her cultivation level, the two of them have a long future ahead of them!

With the elders of the sect and the witnesses of their relatives and friends, Lin Jun and Zisu finally became Daoist partners as they had wished, and from then on lived a happy life together.

After settling the sect's affairs, the main force to rescue Lin Yuan was finally ready to assemble and set off.

Lin Zhifeng's prediction was correct; he was not approved to go along.

So he told Qingfeng to keep a close watch on the house, and then secretly took an invisibility pill and joined Ding Mo in the rescue team.

Since the rescuers were all at the Refinement Realm, they didn't use traditional transportation when setting off to save time; instead, they all teleported together to the Demon Realm Rift.

With Ding Mo's help, Lin Zhifeng secretly blended into the group.

Upon reaching the Demon Realm Rift, the group regrouped.

There was no better idea for the next step.

For safety reasons, the team leader plans to send ten people down to investigate first.

Ding Mo naturally volunteered and was easily approved.

Before going in, the Grand Elder reminded everyone, "Try not to get into conflicts with the people of the Demon Realm. Finding someone is the priority."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Everyone who went in was given an invisibility pill. This was done to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Of these ten people, more than half were from the Sword Sect.

They all took the invisibility pills, and after a while, when the pills took effect, they entered the rift one after another.

Once inside the rift, no one could see each other, so they divided up the exploration areas and acted independently, agreeing to evacuate after one hour, regardless of whether they had found anyone.

Lin Zhifeng was naturally with Ding Mo.

They had previously collaborated on a covert reconnaissance mission, and now Lin Zhifeng skillfully took Ding Mo's hand to prevent them from getting separated later.

He didn't feel anything was wrong, but Ding Mo was still a little uncomfortable. After all, it was his personality; he had never been this close to anyone before.

Fortunately, Ding Mo knew to prioritize the overall situation and quickly overcame his discomfort.

However, he also had to be extra careful to keep his palms from sweating.

The social terrorist Lin Zhifeng, completely unaware of his suffering, pulled him along with ease and naturalness.

The two walked toward the area that Ding Mo had been assigned to scout, carefully avoiding the scattered "people" from the Demon Realm along the way.

After observing the creatures of the Demon Realm up close this time, I found them to be quite alright, not as ferocious and terrifying as they appeared when the Demon Realm attacked the Sword Sect last time.

At that time, Lin Zhifeng and his companions were still inexperienced, and given the severity of the situation, they found the creatures of the Demon Realm terrifying and bloody.

Now that his cultivation level has increased and he is in stealth mode, his mindset is relatively peaceful. He sees these guys as nothing more than ugly ones, not that scary.

The two of them cautiously entered a building.

This building is simply made of stacked stones, and once you go inside, you'll find that the space is very large.

This is normal, since many creatures in the demon realm are enormous, and small houses would make it inconvenient for them to walk upright.

The house was very spacious inside, with not much furniture. There was only a huge stone table and a few stone stools at the far end of the house.

It's unclear who usually uses it. If it's the Demon Lord, then their lives are rather miserable.

The Sword Sect was never a luxurious or wealthy sect, but even they considered this place far too poor and simple. One can only imagine how someone like Elder Gu would react upon seeing such a sight. Wouldn't he likely label them "savages" or "like beasts"?

Their arrival today was also quite coincidental, as the Lord of the Demon Realm happened to be at home today.

It seemed he had guests; two people were sitting around a stone table, drinking and chatting.

Lin Zhifeng glanced at the Demon Lord from afar, thinking that he would probably be the main target of the upcoming conflict, but he wasn't afraid.

After sizing up the Demon Lord, Lin Zhifeng turned his gaze to the guest beside him. To his surprise, Lin Zhifeng was taken aback; he recognized the guest.

Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but tighten his grip on Ding Mo's hand, as if to say: Senior Brother Ding, look, isn't that so-and-so?

Ding Mo naturally saw it too.

He had seen that person before; it was the same person he had encountered when he and Lin Zhifeng went on a mission together.

But why is he here?

Ding Mo knew that the person must be acquainted with the Lord of the Demon Realm, and there was even a high probability that they were friends.

But given that person's status, he shouldn't have any dealings with people from the Demon Realm, right?
