Lingfeng did not call them senior brothers out of politeness; in his mind, he truly regarded Kehua and Ke Yu as senior brothers. Of course, Lingfeng still felt a bit guilty because when he first met Ke Yu, he had indeed made things difficult for him, even going so far as to eliminate Ke Yu's Evil Thoughts.
Now that Lingfeng had officially entered the Demonic Path, he finally understood the importance of Evil Thoughts, although this was primarily relevant to Demon Cultivators. With Ke Yu's Evil Thoughts eliminated, his cultivation would progress very slowly, and in times of danger, he might not even have Evil Thoughts to alert him.
Lingfeng looked at Ke Yu, nodded slightly, and then gazed into the air, intending to use his flying technique to leave.
"Wait!" Ke Yu called out hurriedly.
Lingfeng turned around again, looking at Ke Yu with curiosity.
"Your injuries are too severe; it would be better to return to the Enchanted Continent using the Cultivation Method from the Land God!" Ke Yu advised.
Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. For the severely injured Lingfeng, returning to the Demon Suppression Sect through the Cultivation Method was indeed the best option.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother!" Lingfeng said with a smile, and then his figure flickered before disappearing in front of the two.
In an instant, Lingfeng arrived at the Mandala Demon Realm Land Temple. At this time, the Land Temple had fallen into disrepair; the outer walls had completely collapsed, and there were many holes in the roof.
The clay statue of the Land God still sat solemnly on the Altar, but its color had faded. The incense burners that once held some offerings were now dull and lifeless.
Over the past ten years, the Spirit Sect had begun preparing to attack the Cultivation Realm, and even the land of the Mandala Demon Realm could not escape being treated as a deity and expelled from it.
Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't understand why people like the Spirit Priest wanted to use the Demon Lord to unify the three realms. Moreover, no matter what, they were mere mortals; how could they possibly contend with gods with just their abilities?
"But what about the Underworld Abyss?" Lingfeng looked at the statue of the land god and couldn't help but recall his experiences in Qingshui Village.
Lingfeng clearly remembered that back then, even Yama regarded the Underworld Abyss as a tool of crime from the demon realm. They intended to control the souls of the underworld and thus dominate it.
However, since the Demon Realm did not participate in this plan at all, who could possess such great power to open a passage to the Underworld Abyss in Qingshui Village?
Lingfeng was puzzled and considered all possible individuals. Even if it were the Spirit Priest, they would need the assistance of a high-level Underworld Artifact to manipulate such a formation. Moreover, the information Lingfeng had received indicated that the formation was set up by a mysterious woman.
"Could there be an even more powerful figure involved?" Lingfeng began to set aside thoughts of the Spirit Sect and wondered if there was a more formidable sect secretly aiding the Spirit Sect.
If that were the case, things would certainly become complicated.
However, daydreaming was ultimately not a solution. Lingfeng decided to return to the Demon Suppression Sect for now and recuperate from his injuries.
At this point, the land was no longer under the curse, so Lingfeng had no choice but to use the Earth Escape Technique to reach the residence of the land deity. The residence was also in disarray, as if it had experienced a catastrophe long ago.
Lingfeng quietly navigated through familiar paths and found the transmission Cultivation Method. He then jumped into the well and arrived at the Demon Suppression Sect.
The land deity was leisurely sipping tea when he saw Lingfeng covered in blood. He was momentarily taken aback; although he vaguely remembered Lingfeng, he didn’t have time to get angry and hurriedly supported him, asking softly, "Why do you look so familiar?"
Lingfeng forced a smile, thinking that he recognized him because he had used his transmission Cultivation Method ten years ago.
However, Lingfeng did not want to reveal his identity. Right now, he just wanted to return to the Demon Suppression Sect, so he replied softly, "I am a disciple of the Demon Suppression Sect and just returned from the Mandala Demon Realm!"
The land deity nodded quickly and murmured, "So you are a disciple of the Demon Suppression Sect. No wonder you were attacked in the Mandala Demon Realm. I will take you back to the Demon Suppression Sect shortly!"
With that, the land deity stood up from his short stature and circled around Lingfeng three times while silently reciting an incantation. Soon after, Lingfeng felt as if he were enveloped in white mist and then lost consciousness.
When Lingfeng awoke again, he saw several familiar faces looking at him with mixed emotions of joy and concern. Among them was one face that Lingfeng had been longing for day and night.
"Ah, you're awake, you're awake!" Everyone exclaimed joyfully when Lingfeng opened his eyes.
Lingfeng looked around and saw that they were all senior brothers and sisters from the Demon Suppression Sect, including Enchanting, All-Knowing, and Thousand-Year Ginseng Earth Escape. It felt strangely unreal.
"Am I dreaming?" Lingfeng sat up and asked in confusion.
Enchanting chuckled lightly, her eyes red and swollen, yet still filled with joy. "Of course, it's not a dream. You were seriously injured and were brought here by the Land God."
Lingfeng then vaguely recalled what had happened earlier, surprised to learn that the Land God had personally brought him back.
"Right, right! My little brother, where have you been for the past ten years?" All-Knowing hurriedly stepped forward, both concerned and puzzled.
Lingfeng touched his abdomen; the pain had disappeared, and it was wrapped in a layer of white cloth.
Before Lingfeng could respond, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang. Two figures rushed in, pushing through the crowd to reach the bedside, staring intently at Lingfeng without saying a word.
Lingfeng was taken aback as he looked at the two big men standing by the bed. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and he quickly threw himself into one of their arms—it was Azure Vine.
"Brother!" Lingfeng cried out as he wept.
In what felt like a brief ten years to Lingfeng, Azure Vine appeared aged and worn.
"You rascal! Where have you been for the past ten years? Why haven't you sent any news?" Azure Vine turned Lingfeng's head to examine him closely and asked in surprise, "It's already been ten years; why haven't you changed at all?"
Lingfeng touched his own face and then looked at Enchanting. He noticed that Enchanting had grown into a graceful beauty, her complexion radiant and her lips like sand—truly stunning. At that moment, Enchanting's eyes were also filled with tears, making her even more beautiful.
In contrast, Lingfeng appeared still immature, lacking any signs of maturity. He still wore that unruly expression, but now it was tinged with a hint of sorrow.
Lingfeng sighed lightly and recounted his experiences in the Spirit Sect and his entry into the Demon Realm.
The others listened in silence, staring at Lingfeng, and then one by one they began to murmur in astonishment.
"I didn't expect that Lingfeng is actually the reincarnation of Chiyou's Good Soul!" After a while, Qing finally spoke up.
The knowledgeable one nodded thoughtfully and said, "Demon God Chiyou is a deity of great good and evil. The Virtuous Soul within him is in opposition to the Evil Soul. In order to unify the three realms through force, Chiyou was willing to expel his own Good Soul from his body. However, once the Virtuous Soul fully awakens, it will possess all of Chiyou's power."
Everyone was taken aback, except for Lingfeng, who frowned, lost in thought.
"Having cultivated from Demon Lord Reincarnation for ten years now, the Demon Lord should have awakened by now. I believe the Mandala Demon Realm is about to start a war against the Cultivation Realm," Master Qing said when he noticed everyone was speechless.
Lingfeng finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Monkey Head has already been completely influenced by the Mandala Demon Realm's ideology and will come to find me for a duel in three days!"
"But..." the knowledgeable one interjected, "But you are severely injured, and your Demonic Nature has already collapsed. For the time being, you cannot replenish your Demonic Nature through cultivation. Although you have half of Chiyou's cultivation level now, the Demon Lord also possesses half of Chiyou's power at this moment. Given your injuries, you definitely won't be able to match the Demon Lord!"
"I've thought about this issue too!" Lingfeng said heavily. "Now there is only one person who can restrain Monkey Head!"
Enchanting seemed to already know who Lingfeng was referring to and hesitated before saying, "Actually, Lili secretly left the Demon Suppression Sect ten years ago and hasn't been heard from since!"
Lingfeng was taken aback, as if struck by a heavy thunderbolt. He recalled Monkey Head's expression back at Demon Spirit Mountain; although there was some guilt towards Lili, it was only fleeting.
"Could it be that Lili went to find Monkey Head?" Lingfeng couldn't help but murmur.
At this moment, inside Demon Spirit Mountain, the ancient beast Tao Tie stood impatiently outside a black building. The black structure resembled Demon City, shrouded in swirling Demonic Energy, with a massive skeleton sculpture at its center.
In front of the building, a bald man dressed in luxurious robes stood in a spacious hall, gazing at a corpse sealed within Spiritual Energy.
The corpse had a youthful face, eyes gently closed, floating lightly in the Spiritual Energy as if in sleep; it was Lili.
The expressionless Monkey King, now a Demon Lord, stared intently at Lili's cheek. Although no clear emotion was visible, it was evident that he was reluctant to part with her.
Ten years ago, Lili had run away from Demon Suppression Sect to seek Monkey Head at Spirit Sect but inadvertently triggered a mechanism within Spirit Sect. The beautiful woman, who could topple kingdoms, thus met her tragic end and became a fragment in people's hearts.
Upon learning of this, Monkey Head was filled with sorrow and personally set up a protective array to preserve Lili's body inside, ensuring it would remain uncorrupted for a thousand years.
"What's wrong? Are you troubled again?" A wisp of white mist flew out from Lili's corpse, circling in the air before landing beside Monkey Head.
Monkey Head nodded gently and reached out to touch the mist lightly, murmuring, "Only you can see through my thoughts."
The white mist sighed softly, suddenly frowning as it gazed at the corpse before them. With sadness, it said, "It's a pity that in this life I can only accompany you as a ghost and cannot share your burdens."
Monkey Head trembled slightly and lowered his head as if blaming himself for his negligence. If he hadn't been so enamored with ascension, Lili wouldn't have had to endure the pain of longing. She wouldn't have come to Spirit Sect and wouldn't have perished due to triggering the array.
