When Chu Yi was sent to the Land of Forsaken Gods, it was the elders who activated the teleportation array in the main hall to send her in.

Originally, this formation was designed for a round trip, but since the position of Goddess was created, the elders modified the formation so that disciples entering it could suppress the cracks with peace of mind, making it so that they could only enter but not exit.

In any case, the goddesses who have come here in the past have never returned. Destroying the formation that allows them to return to the city will also sever their hopes.

Although Lingyao can repair this formation, according to Chu Yi, if they use the formation to teleport, they will definitely appear directly in the main hall.

Although Lingyao was no longer afraid of those elders, Yin Ming was worried that innocent people might be harmed, and he also had his own considerations. Therefore, the group still chose to leave the Forsaken Land through the dark passage.

Lingyao poked his head out of the water and waved to the others, indicating that there was no danger underwater and that they could safely go into the water. He then took the lead and swam towards the underground passage that Yin Ming had discovered earlier.

Seeing that Lingyao had already swum quite a distance, while Yinming still showed no reaction, Feng Yan couldn't help but step forward and nudge his motionless body, "Big brother, hurry up and catch up, what are you daydreaming about?"

Yin Ming was pushed by him, and only then did he suddenly come to his senses, "...I understand."

One by one, the group entered the water and, following Lingyao's figure, swam safely to the waters outside the cave.

When everyone surfaced, the bright moon was already high in the sky.

Chu Yi looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, her face also radiated a faint glow. "So beautiful."

She hadn't seen the moon for decades and thought she'd never have the chance in her life.

Seeing each other again now feels like a lifetime ago.

Yin Ming looked up and observed the surrounding environment. After recognizing that the land connected by the water was the Deer Cry Forest, three miles away from the back mountain of the Divine Realm, and that they would not be in danger of being discovered by the patrolling disciples of the Divine Realm, Yin Ming gathered some firewood in the forest and built two bonfires so that everyone could dry their clothes.

Although cultivators are physically strong and unlikely to catch a cold from falling into the water, wearing these wet clothes is still uncomfortable no matter what.

Fearing that Chu Yi might feel embarrassed, Yin Ming even set up a bamboo pole between the two fire pits and draped a long robe from his wardrobe over it to separate the two sides from each other.

"I wonder what Miss Chu and Young Master Feng's plans are next?" The clothes in Yin Ming's hands were almost dry, and it was time to decide on the next direction.

When asked about her whereabouts, Chu Yi originally planned to stay by Ling Yao's side and serve him for the rest of her life, but after being repeatedly rejected, she had no choice but to give up.

"I plan to return to the Divine Realm and inform the six elders of the current situation in the Forsaken Land." Chu Yi paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Of course, I will not mention my benefactor."

“‘After absorbing enough energy, the Holy Kun suddenly regained its senses for a moment. After repairing the great formation, it could not withstand the backlash of that energy, and thus its beast core exploded and it died.’ So, the elders should not doubt this.”

Yin Ming pondered for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with this explanation, so he agreed with her idea.

Feng Yan's face was filled with gritted teeth as he discussed his future plans. "During my imprisonment, I had already thought it through. The biggest obstacle that the six elders refused to execute Xu Ye was simply his status as a forging master."

"In that case, I will return to Linfeng Xiaozhu and devote myself to studying the forging manual left by my master."

"As long as I can forge a magic weapon of a higher level and better quality than Xu Ye's in the next forging competition, I will expose his previous crimes. I don't believe that the six elders will abandon me again to protect him!"

Those elders in the Divine Realm have always prioritized their own interests, and he can take advantage of this weakness to drive Xu Ye off the altar!

Yin Ming raised an eyebrow noncommittally. The Divine Realm regularly holds forging competitions, aiming to attract forging masters from all directions and select the winners to serve their Divine Realm.

The next forging competition is in March. In such a short time, it's uncertain whether Feng Yan can achieve his goals.

Yin Ming had seen Xu Ye a few times, but had never seen his face clearly. The reason was that this person was very arrogant and always looked down on people.

But it cannot be denied that Xu Ye is a true master foundry.

Being fawned over by the disciples who sought his sword every day, it was no wonder he became arrogant.

Yin Ming didn't know what level of blacksmith Feng Yan was now, so he could only wish him success.

Yin Ming himself decided to return to the Divine Realm—although the Divine Realm's behavior was truly disgusting, Liu Ying had said that the truth he wanted to know was in the Divine Realm.

Although he didn't know the truth, since Liu Ying had emphasized it to him, it must be related to another transmigrator.

Perhaps he will find out the answer to why he transmigrated into the book because of this.

Although Yin Ming's physical body in reality is most likely dead, and he has no intention of going back, this does not diminish his curiosity.

While retirement may be enjoyable, it can become tiresome after a while.

Anyway, Yin Ming has plenty of time now. He can slowly find out the truth, and when he gets tired, he can relax and rest before continuing his investigation.

Life is a long journey, and we should do something along the way, otherwise it would be so boring.

After drying their clothes and having a quick bite to eat, everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Feng Yan returned to his Linfeng Xiaozhu, while Yin Ming and the other two slowly strolled back to the Divine Realm.

When they reached the fork in the road between the Divine Realm and Qinghong Town, Chu Yi said she wanted to visit the Su residence first.

Yin Ming recalled that dilapidated courtyard, his thin lips parted slightly for a long time, but he didn't know what to say. He could only silently watch Chu Yi's figure disappear into the distance.

Hopefully, she won't be too saddened when she learns about Su Chen's situation before his death.

Although Yin Ming knew that this was impossible.

But there are some things she'll find out sooner or later; this is a path she can only walk alone.

In this way, only Yin Ming and Ling Yao remained on the quiet mountain path.

Considering that they have now entered the realm of the gods and could encounter patrolling disciples at any time, and given that their appearances have been exposed to the disciples before, they fear that they may be exposed in the future.

To avoid being recognized and starting another fight, and since Lingyao had already confirmed his identity and there was no need to hide it any longer, Yin Ming grabbed Lingyao's clothes to signal him to stop.

Amidst the other's puzzled gaze, Yin Ming reached out and removed the Thousand Faces mask from his face, then turned it around and put it on Ling Yao's stunningly handsome face.

Upon touching Lingyao's skin, Qianmian immediately melted into a pool of flesh-colored water that kept changing. Under Yin Ming's will, it manifested Lingyao's face before his Nirvana, and Lingyao's aura also changed accordingly.

Yin Ming looked at the face with satisfaction. In this way, no one would recognize that the two of them were the demon invaders who had been captured and sent to the Land of Forsaken Gods, and the 'traitors' of the Divine Realm.

Look how strong his sixth sense is! He knew that this Thousand Faces would be very useful, so he arranged it.

Yin Ming never expected that the Thousand Faces would ultimately be used by Ling Yao.

That was originally a magical artifact he used to evade Lingyao.

It just goes to show how unpredictable life can be.

Yin Ming was still lost in his own thoughts when he suddenly realized that Ling Yao was staring intently at him, and his face flushed red.

Only then did Yin Ming realize that his right hand was cupped to the side of his face, and he immediately felt his fingertips touching his skin become burning hot.

Yin Ming hurriedly withdrew his hand, his expression turning embarrassed.

Upon seeing this, Lingyao's eyes flashed with a strange light. He lowered his brows and looked up again, his expression returning to normal.

"Let's go," Lingyao said softly.

Reminded by him, Yin Ming turned around stiffly and mechanically, continuing to walk towards the Divine Realm.
