If Lin Bei has been possessed by a demon, doesn't that mean the demon's power is even more exaggerated?

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, this mission, is it too difficult for us?"

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, do we have any other external support? Relying solely on ourselves is perhaps..."

"The Deputy Captain of the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall has been taken over by a demon, this is no ordinary matter, why don't we directly inform the Lin Family..."

Some voices started chattering.

Yet Zhuo Xueer's expression just turned colder.

"Shut your mouths!"

Her voice alone pressed down the surrounding noises.

Scanning the crowd, she said coldly.

"You all, may have doubts. But swallow them!"

"Tonight, leave your brains behind and follow me in charge!"

"Whatever happens, I will take responsibility!"

"I must succeed in this promotion mission!"

"Did you all understand!"

The last sentence was almost shouted.

After this, the crowd had no choice but to withhold their objections.

Not to mention that Zhuo Xueer mentioned the mission details so late, they had no chance to back out now, they had to see it through.

Otherwise, knowing these secrets yet hoping to retreat unscathed would be a fool's dream.

After all, Zhuo Xueer was just doing a job for those above. Revealing any information and being pursued by those above, none of these inspectors would survive.

"Everything will be arranged by Lord Zhuo Xueer."

Someone wisely echoed.

Others quickly agreed.

The situation finally calmed down.

Suo Fengxiang and others at the same table as Fang Yu also gradually regained their composure from the shock.

"To think we have to hunt down a member of the Lin family…" Jie Yuxue's arms trembled slightly as she held her sword.

"The demons are becoming increasingly audacious." Qiu Shantong's expression tightened, a stark change from his usual lazy demeanor.

Scarlet Bloom Mist had stopped sharpening her sword and sheathed it, but remained silent.

"It's..." Yu Yongan glanced at Fang Yu, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.

"This journey is ominous."

Suo Fengxiang, however, remained relatively calm.

"Don't worry too much, just follow Lord Zhuo Xueer's arrangements. Since it's the reserve deputy captain's mission for promotion, it must be arranged by those above. They surely also have their plans, and all we need to do is cooperate."

Looking at the table from Qian Bei, panic was already settling in.

Long Zehui and his friends showed difficulty on their faces.

Clearly, they didn't expect that doing a favor would lead to such a mess.

But thinking of retreating now is out of the question; knowing this mission's content, running away halfway is no longer an option.

Following Zhuo Xueer's grand gesture, regardless of what everyone thought, they had no choice but to follow her on this journey.

...

A blue paper crane, accompanying ripples, slowly transitioned from ethereal to solid, and landed in Lin Ye's palm.

Ever since he injured Wu Lvzhu, Lin Ye was silently monitoring the Foolish Underworld.

However, the Foolish Underworld, being a direct organisation dealing with demons, maintains a very tight defense against all external probes.

Thus, the information Lin Ye received was extremely limited.

Plus, outwardly, he still had to cooperate with the Foolish Underworld and actively search for traces of the Shu Bird Demon, so these past few days Lin Ye was indeed busy to the point of dizziness.

No planning signs, no prior notifications, the sudden actions of the Shu Bird Demon group completely disrupted Lin Ye's plans, and due to their abruptness, left many loopholes that forced him to act personally to fill these gaps, so as to avoid the real clues from being discovered.

So these days, Lin Ye, while seemingly leading teams vigorously searching for demons, was in fact handling logistics, creating diversions, and allowing the real insiders to erase the traces.

Lin Ye had a pile of complaints he wanted to convey to Lord Lan, yet Lord Lan was not in Tianyuan Town. There wasn't even a word from him.

Until tonight, this blue paper crane appeared before him.

He eagerly unfolded the paper crane.

Emblazoned on it was a line of words.

"Found the Gap Land. I will return soon."

Lin Ye didn't quite understand what Gap Land was.

He only heard it mentioned casually by Lord Lan.

From ancient times, humans, spirits, and demons each had their own worlds, not interfering with each other.

Later, something happened that bound humans, spirits, and demons together, confining them to this world.

Space was thus locked.

And,

The Human Race, bearing sin.

The Demon Clan, sealed the path.

The Spirit Race, closed their minds.

All races, wary of each other.

The sinful Human Race became food for demons.

The greedy Demon Clan could no longer reach the ultimate peak.

The perfect Spirit Race gradually lost their spiritual intellect.

Thus, the three races converged, causing chaos allover.

In the end, only the Spirit Race, born miraculously gifted, known as You Li.

The You Li Spirit, on its own, sought a secluded pathway, opened the Spirit Path, providing a way of survival for the Spirit Race in this locked world.

But in the end, it was just a delusion.

The Spirit Path is merely a well-named shelter, unable to solve the fundamental issue.

And the so-called Gap Land is a tiny crack that appeared in the sealed world.

This crack could at any moment be repaired, shifted, vanished, and fundamentally impossible for any beings to enter.

But, Lord Lan, seemingly found some method, to use the Gap Land, to do something.

"The body of the Fallen Spirit Demon, the old master's techniques, and now the found Gap Land..."

"Lord Lan, don't let me down! I'm betting the entire future of the Lin Family on you!"
