Yuan Yan'er said, panting, "We're finally out of that place. If it weren't for the Divine Child, we almost wouldn't have been able to hold on. Should we rest for a bit before continuing?"

After looking around, Yuan Zhexian immediately said, "Don't get distracted. I feel like something's not right here either."

Just as they finished speaking, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky, followed by thousands of lightning bolts filling the entire sky. The powerful and terrifying oppressive feeling caused all four of them, except for Yuan Zhexian, to frown in worry.

Boom! A bolt of lightning struck rapidly towards the group. The five of them quickly dodged. Then another bolt of lightning struck. Immediately, countless bolts of lightning poured down from the sky. Yuan Zhexian protected Yuan Zifeng and Yuan Yan'er by activating his double pupils, creating a barrier of double pupil power that resisted the thousands of lightning bolts.

Yuan Ruochu unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, directly striking the myriad lightning bolts. Ji Jingtian also summoned the Void Refining Pot, continuously absorbing the myriad lightning bolts hurtling towards him.

Then, two loud "bangs" and "clangs" were heard. Yuan Ruochu's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was no match for the terrifying lightning and was almost hit. On Ji Jingtian's side, the Emperor Weapon Void Refining Pot was directly struck down from the void into Ji Jingtian's hand by the lightning.

The two were both surprised and terrified. Yuan Ruochu and Ji Jingtian were ranked fourth and fifth among the three thousand physique masters. Although they were currently only at the Dao Body Realm, they were absolutely capable of fighting against, and even killing, a Reincarnation Realm expert. They had already used their strongest moves, yet they still couldn't withstand the thousands of lightning bolts. They were filled with terror at the terrifying power of the thousands of lightning bolts.

Boom! As Yuan Ruochu and Ji Jingtian's defenses failed, countless bolts of lightning struck them once more. Seeing the rapidly approaching lightning, the two prepared to use their maximum spiritual power to resist again. Just then, a figure appeared before them, then threw a punch into the sky. The countless bolts of lightning collided with this punch, unexpectedly erupting in a dazzling light. The figure then said to Yuan Ruochu and Ji Jingtian, "Brother Ruochu, Jingtian, stay close to me."

Half an hour later, Yuan Zhexian and his five companions returned to the entrance of the vortex gate.

Looking at the four people who were exhausted and had no spiritual energy left, Yuan Zhexian said, "As expected, only those with great opportunities like Lin Yan can come and go freely in this inner world."

"Divine Child, what exactly is this inner world? How can it be so terrifying? If I were to enter that space alone, I might perish inside," Ji Jingtian then said.

“Jing Tian, ​​if you go in alone, it’s not just a matter of chance, it’s certain that you will perish inside,” Yuan Zhe Xian said.

He then added, "I just scanned the area with my double pupils. We are only in the inner world. The core gathering place is still far away. But the power of each of those peach blossoms and tree branches was comparable to the full-force attack of a fifth or sixth level Reincarnation Realm expert. And the lightning that followed was almost equivalent to the full-force attack of a peak Reincarnation Realm expert."

Hiss! The four finally realized just how outrageous this inner world was. This was only the middle area, not even the core region, and it was already this dangerous; the lightning was comparable to a full-force attack from a peak Reincarnation Realm expert. The danger in the core region must be equivalent to a full-force attack from a Quasi-Saint or even a Saint! Luckily, the Divine Child was there; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died. They secretly vowed that once they returned, they would immediately go into seclusion to improve their cultivation, and not always rely on the Divine Child for protection.

Yuan Zhexian then said, "It seems that this inner world is what we are looking for. Fortunately, I have Zhao Zixuan as a trump card, and now it is time to bring it into play."

Then he said to the four of them, "Let's go back first. Everyone should get some rest today." With that, he and the four of them returned to the "Juyuan" restaurant in Yan Country.

A few days later, a young man arrived at the "Juyuan" restaurant. As soon as he entered, the waiter greeted him. "I wonder if you're here for a meal or to stay the night?" Then he repeated the same things he had said to Yuan Zhexian verbatim to the man.

"I'm looking for someone. I wonder if this restaurant has four men and one woman, about my age, each with an extraordinary air about them, and the one in the lead seems to be from heaven."

"Yes, yes, yes, are you their friend, sir?" the waiter asked again.

"That's right, I'm friends with them, and I have something important to discuss with them this time."

"So you're that gentleman's friend. Sir, your friend is staying in the top-tier room. Would you like me to show you the way?" the waiter said obsequiously.

"No need to trouble you, sir," he said, taking out a low-grade spirit stone.

Oh, thank you, sir. This way, please.

The man followed the waiter upstairs, winding his way to the door of Yuan Zhexian's room. The waiter bowed and withdrew. The man was about to knock when a voice came from inside: "Since Young Master Lin has arrived, please come in for a chat."

After entering the room, Lin Yan said to Yuan Zhexian, "Young master, you have quite the refined taste, visiting ancient scenic spots. Do you know that after you killed Huo Xing, my Lin family was wiped out?"

"Oh? You're still alive. And I can see from your eyes that you're not saddened by the Lin family's destruction; on the contrary, you seem relieved," Yuan Zhexian said unhurriedly.

Lin Yan was slightly surprised to hear this; Yuan Zhexian had seen through him so clearly. Seeing that Lin Yan remained silent, Yuan Zhexian continued, "Young Master Lin, you've come here to ask for my help to escape your current predicament, haven't you?"

Lin Yan was finding Yuan Zhexian increasingly unfathomable, feeling that this man was terrifying, completely able to see through his thoughts and feelings. He then asked, "Then, young master, what are your intentions?"

“I know a little about your affairs. Since only you can enter that mysterious space, how about we make a deal? I'll guarantee your safety, and you take us into that space. What do you say?” Yuan Zhexian continued.
