Shang Lin tentatively took a step forward, then another, but there was still no reaction from the ground. He turned back to Hu Tangdi and asked, "Could you remove all the dust from the ground?"

“It is possible, but the sect leader will have to wait outside for a while, otherwise he will definitely be choked by the dust.” Hu Tangdi added, “No matter what kind of magic is used, as long as there is any movement, the dust will fly around, and it is impossible to avoid getting any dust on you.”

“Okay, let’s go outside and wait. But you have to be careful. I suspect there’s a magic array on the ground. And places with magic arrays usually suppress something.”

"Um."

Shang Lin and Xing Tian went out, but Chi Xie didn't move. He had been suppressed by the magic array for countless years, and now, whenever he saw a magic array or even just a glimpse of one, he wanted to see what it was all about.

Hu Tangdi acted quickly, but she did not immediately call Shang Lin down. Instead, she waited until all the ashes had settled before calling him.

Shang Lin returned to the basement and saw that the floor was just ordinary cement, and it wasn't smooth, just like the unfinished house when it was first built. There were some cracks, and he didn't know if it was like that when it was built or if it was caused by time.

But through these gaps, Shang Lin saw a golden light. He hurriedly poured spiritual power into the golden light, and then a fragmented magic circle gradually appeared.

A chilling aura emanated from the damaged area, carrying an ominous air, yet nothing appeared to emerge. Shang Lin frowned. He couldn't tell if the array was set up a long time ago, or if the array master's methods differed from his own; in any case, he couldn't discern what kind of array it was. However, the chilling aura emanating from the damaged area suggested it was probably a demon-sealing array.

Seeing that Shang Lin remained silent, Red Scorpion finally couldn't help but ask, "What did you see? Is it a magic array that seals something?"

Shang Lin said frankly, "It should be, but my approach is different from that of the mage in this formation, so I don't know what to do. It seems that repairing or destroying it is not the right thing to do."

Red Scorpion said, "What's right or wrong? Just destroy it and see. If you need to seal it again, you can just set up another magic array using your own methods. Why are you being so pedantic?"

Shang Lin wasn't annoyed by Chi Xie's lecture. He simply said, "The method is good, but what if the sealed thing is incredibly powerful? If even we can't protect ourselves, what about the ordinary people in City C? I still want to live peacefully in the human world and don't want to cause any trouble."

Even now, Shang Lin's only thought is to make money, cultivate, and one day return to the cultivation world. Besides, his life is much better than before, and he doesn't want to disrupt it at all.

Red Scorpion was taken aback, then looked at Shang Lin with some disdain, "But what if what's sealed down here isn't an evil cultivator? Wouldn't he never see the light of day again?"

Shang Lin suddenly smiled at Chi Xie, "You're right, but I won't get involved in this matter. Call Situ Pojun. After all, this is his jurisdiction. If he doesn't take responsibility for something like this, who will?"

Xing Tian gave Shang Lin a thumbs up, "The sect leader is indeed very thoughtful, and Situ Pojun is more convenient to do things than we are."

For a moment, Red Scorpion suddenly felt that Xing Tian was Shang Lin's lapdog. He was right to everything Xing Tian said and did, and had no principles or bottom line whatsoever.

The next second, Shang Lin said, "It's too late today. Let's contact him again tomorrow. Let's all go home and rest early. It's already past midnight."

After Shang Lin finished speaking, he even yawned in a very appropriate manner. Chi Xie suddenly felt like he had punched a piece of cotton. They had picked it up high all the way down, and then gently put it down? The atmosphere had reached this point, and you... that's it? You just clapped your hands and left?!

Shang Lin actually clapped his hands and left, but when he saw that there were no cars available on the ride-hailing app on his phone, he looked distressed and said to Xing Tian, ​​"You should buy a car tomorrow, just one around 100,000 yuan will do."

Xing Tian was dumbfounded. "Sect Master, your budget is too low! Didn't we just earn 6 million? We also have other income. Shouldn't we buy something worth around 300,000?"

Shang Lin, unusually serious, said, "You think I don't want it? I actually want three million! But how many disciples do we have? What if everyone wants one, like a cell phone? You'll pay for it?"

Xing Tian, ​​"..."

Their sect leader actually included everyone's cars in the calculation!

Xing Tian's eyes immediately lit up. "Sect Master, you're so kind! But our sect's financial situation isn't good right now, so we can only buy one for now."

Hu Tangdi looked at Xing Tian with utter disdain. "I don't know who it was that just now said, 'Didn't we just make 6 million? And some other income as well?' But the next second they contradicted themselves and said their financial situation was bad."

Xing Tian retorted dismissively, "You're wrong. The sect leader always thinks of us, and we should always think of the sect leader. That's how we can become a loving family. Alright, it's getting late. Let's all go home. I'll buy a car tomorrow and make sure the sect leader is satisfied."

After saying that, he said to Red Scorpion, "There are no cars tonight, so I'll have to trouble you to take me back."

Red Scorpion chuckled, "Are you sure? This distance isn't short."

Shang Lin suddenly stared at Chi Xie's face and said, "I think you should know that Old Man Chai's health is still recovering, and Xing Tian is barely holding on. You need to take good care of him, otherwise how can we become a loving family?"

Red Scorpion paused, sensing a fleeting golden light in Shang Lin's dark eyes. This light sent a chill down his spine, making him tremble. This was definitely not the gaze of an ordinary human. Shouldn't this person be the one sealed within the magic array?

After Shang Lin finished speaking, he looked at Hu Tangdi and said, "Please take me back."

Hu Tangdi immediately smiled charmingly and said, "It's my honor."

Shang Lin paused, suddenly realizing that Hu Tangdi had been normal for a long time, so long that he had almost forgotten what the man looked like at the beginning! Sigh, although having many disciples is a good thing, it also means more trouble.

Indeed, gain and loss are the eternal and unchanging laws of the world.

Red Scorpion watched in a daze as Hu Tangdi "captured" Shang Lin and disappeared into the darkness. After a while, he asked Xing Tian, ​​"What triggered that demoness?"

Xing Tian smiled slightly, "This is my junior sister's true nature. When I first accepted her as a disciple, it was much more exaggerated than this. Huang Ying would criticize her every time she saw her."

Red Scorpion, "..."

I've suddenly discovered that the Yuntai Sect is quite interesting!
