?


    The man smiled and said. "It''s a deal. The three of them will stay with me during this period. You know the consequences of breaking a promise."


    Although Yun Lintian was unwilling in his heart, he indeed had no way to convince the man to trust himpletely. He thought for a moment and said. "But you have to protect them during this period."


    "Don''t worry. No one dares to mess with me here." The man said with a confident smile.


    "What is your name?" Yun Lintian asked.


    The man nced at the book in Kong Xun''s hand and said. "You probably guessed about it already. That''s right, I am Yan Yin, the Demonic Cmity Devil God Emperor. Although it is true that the Great Devil Realm and the Divine Realm are mortal enemies, I don''t care much about such a thing. You can ask this little guy here."


    Yun Lintian turned to look at Kong Xun and heard him say. "The Demonic Cmity Devil God Emperor imed himself to have no faction. He killed both devils and divine practitioners in the past."


    The man, Yan Yin, nodded approvingly. "That''s right. Why should I serve those idiots when I am as strong as them? Wouldn''t it be better to be alone? I can go wherever I like and kidnap any beauty I want without worrying about people under me."


    Yun Lintian nodded slowly. With Yan Yin here, perhaps he could learn more about the Great Devil Realmter.


    "Let''s go." Yan Yin waved his hand. "Follow me closely. There are many traps here. I cannot guarantee your safety."


    "Lead the way." Yun Lintian responded and quickly followed Yan Yin towards the tower at the end of his line of sight.


    While Yun Lintian''s group was moving, Ling Zemin''s group had just survived a catastrophe. Previously, they unfortunately encountered Yan Yin and had to leave Xing Ruihong and Yang Guan behind in order to buy time for them.


    However, Yang Guan couldn''t withstand Yan Yin''s terrifying power and was killed on the spot. Meanwhile, Xing Ruihong spent everything he had to escape from Yan Yin''s grasp.


    The expressions on the faces of Yang Zhen and Xing Liuxian were not good at the moment. They had just lost one of their protectors, and the path ahead was still too far. They didn''t know what else they had to sacrifice in order to reach the tower.


    At the same time, they looked at Ling Zemin with resentment in their hearts. Ling Zemin didn''t even use his protector to buy time for everyone previously.


    Ling Zemin was aware of this point, but he couldn''t care less. He invited these people over specifically for this purpose. He needed some cannon fodder to escort him to the tower.


    "What a bad luck." Ling Zemin said with a touch of sadness. "I''m sorry. I didn''t expect to meet that person."


    Although Yang Zhen and Xing Liuxian knew that Ling Zemin was simply pretending, they didn''t show their dissatisfaction on the outside as they still needed him to go out of this ce.


    At the same time, both of them inwardly regretted it. They shouldn''t have been greedy ande here in the first ce.


    "But you don''t have to worry. As long as we reach the perimeter of the tower, we will be safe." Ling Zemin decided to reveal a piece of secret in order to motivate these people.


    "Why is that?" Yang Zhen asked.


    "There are many people like the person we met earlier here. All of them have been cursed to live here forever." Ling Zemin exined. "For some reason, they are unable to approach the tower. Otherwise, they will die."


    "Let''s hurry up." Xing Liuxian quickly said. "We will move at full speed."


    Ling Zemin was about to say something when he suddenly sensed a terrifying auraing from a far distance. His heart tightened as he turned to look in that direction.


    At this moment, a thin, old man dressed in a gray robe appeared before everyone, emanating a chilling aura.


    Yang Zhen and the others turned solemn upon seeing this because the aura of this old man was not inferior to that of Yan Yin in the slightest.


    "Young Master, you have to decide now." Dong Xiu said through a sound transmission.


    Yang Zhen replied immediately. "We will leave right away when we find an opportunity."


    He had no intention of sticking with Ling Zemin any longer. His goal was to reach the tower as soon as possible.


    Meanwhile, Shui Fang looked at the scene thoughtfully. He wasn''t afraid of death, but rather afraid of dying before he could unravel the secret behind this ce.


    The old man didn''t attack them right away; instead, he calmly looked at them. "I can feel the powers of the Sun God, Star God, Clear Spring God, and Evesting Soul God emanating from all of you. What brought you to this dreadful ce?"


    Ling Zemin and the others were surprised to hear this. This old man was entirely different from Yan Yin, whom they had met earlier. They didn''t sense any hostility from him, although his aura was quite terrifying.


    Suddenly, an old man on Ling Zemin''s side cupped his fists and spoke cautiously. "Senior, are you perhaps Senior Pill Emperor Wan?"


    Everyone looked at the old man in gray with surprise. All of them here, of course, knew about the Pill Emperor Wan Mu. He had mysterious disappeared from the Divine Realm a hundred thousand years ago. He turned out to havee to this ce.


    "It has be the past now. There''s no need to address me with such a formal title." The old man, Wan Mu, said calmly. "Tell me. What happened in the outside world in these past years?"


    "Junior Ling Zemin greets Senior Wan. I am the eldest son of the Evesting Soul God Emperor. Please allow me to recount the situation in the Divine Realm for you." Ling Zemin said and began to recount the entire situation since Wan Mu went missing.


    After listening to Ling Zemin, Wan Mu sighed softly. "I didn''t expect so many things to happen during my absence… Thankfully, the Divine Realm is blessed to have the Beyond Heaven King and other seniors. Without their sacrifice, the Divine Realm would have fallen."


    He was sad because he had missed the big event. Perhaps he could do one or two things for the Divine Realm if he were there.


    He took a deep look at Ling Zemin and asked. "So, what is your purpose foring here?… Don''t tell me you''re coveting what the Beyond Heaven King left behind?"


    As his voice fell, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly…
