Shanhai City.
A dimly lit hall.
In a huge mirror, a blurry black figure emerges.
"You mean, Linnaeus?"
A blurry black shadow came through the mirror with a metallic, demonic voice: "He shouldn't be alive. Many people witnessed him being sucked into the dimensional rift."
Zhao Yulong said calmly, "Therefore, I also believe there is a second possibility. Perhaps after Linnaeus died, another apostle who obtained the power of Carlos appeared in this world."
The shadowy figure murmured, "Even if another apostle of Carlos appeared immediately after Linnaeus's death, how could he have cultivated to such a powerful state in just three short years?"
Zhao Yulong said, "Carlos's strength is unfathomable. Even among the ancient gods, his ranking has always been a mystery. Everyone here should know just how overpowered Linnai was when he inherited his power. Now that another apostle has appeared with an even higher level of power, it doesn't seem so unreasonable."
The shadowy figure fell silent: "Hmm..."
The white fang standing behind gave a soft snort.
What new apostle?
Bai Liao believes he is now 80% certain that the guy is Lin Nai!
That guy had a scent that he knew very well.
This guy isn't dead at all!
'Although I don't know how you survived, it's really interesting, hehe...' Bai Liao licked his lips with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Meng Feifei stood to one side, feeling a little nervous.
Good heavens...
What should we do?
That masked man in the black robe is easy to fool.
Zhao Yulong isn't so easily fooled...
Meng Feifei clenched her fist.
If Chu Men, Mu Xun, and the others were here now, they might be able to come up with some solutions...
But......
Zhao Yulong gazed at the dark figure in the mirror and slowly said, "I suggest I investigate what really happened and who that person is. Once I find out, it will be clear."
The shadowy figure in the mirror asked, "Where are they now?"
“In the vicinity of the old Xiamen city,” Zhao Yulong said calmly. “However, they have hidden inside a barrier, and we don’t know their exact location yet. There is a master among them, and to avoid being discovered, I didn’t dare to follow them too closely.”
The shadowy figure in the mirror buzzed, "It doesn't matter. No matter where they hide, as long as they remain in this plane, they will never escape the spread of the Demon Tree's roots."
"You mean they're in that area of Xiamen, right?"
Zhao Yulong: "Yes."
"Alright, then go and investigate." The shadowy figure in the mirror said casually, "The other members of the old Darkmoon, as well as the demon warriors around Shanhai City, are all at your disposal. Perfect, take this opportunity to wipe out the rebel army's Camp No. 9 as well."
"By the way, that guy from Guigu School should be arriving in Shanhai City soon. He can also offer you some help."
Zhao Yulong raised an eyebrow: "Guigu School of Diplomacy? Which one of them? Diplomacy, or Horizontal?"
The shadowy figure in the mirror: "Horizontal."
Zhao Yulong narrowed his eyes.
It was him...
"Alright, that's all." The shadowy figure in the mirror said, "Purple Fungus will help you scout the way, and I believe we'll have results soon."
Zhao Yulong: "Yes."
......
"Holy crap? Lin Nai, Wan'er, have you guys come back to life???"
Ah Guang looked astonished.
Lin Yuxi tapped him on the head again, angrily saying, "What do you mean by 'came back to life'? Can't you speak properly? I'm not dead at all!"
Yang Xiaochuan asked in astonishment, "But...why? Were you not sucked into the dimensional rift back then? Was that video a fake? Or did you use a trick to escape?"
"No, we were indeed sucked into a spatial rift, but we survived." Lin Nai recounted the experience she had previously shared with Tang Hongshan to them.
Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape, completely unable to believe that someone could survive falling into a dimensional rift.
You must understand, if even a tiny bit of that thing's aura leaks out and touches someone, it's certain death...
Anan clutched his head with both hands: "Oh my god, this is unbelievable..."
Lin Nai: "By the way, where are Director Pang and Captain Liu He?"
"They're having a meeting over there with elders from the Confucian, Legalist, Mohist, and Agricultural schools, among other major factions." A-Guang picked his nose. "Don't be fooled by their past leadership positions in Yecheng. Now, in front of these big shots from various sects, they're the lowest-ranking and least important. They're just doing the work of serving tea and water."
Nail said quietly, "We're not much better off, are we? We've all been reduced to blacksmithing."
"Anyway, you two have just been through a fierce battle, and it's getting late, so you should go back and rest." Old Zhang said to Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er, "Someone should come to record your identity information first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Lin Nai stood up, preparing to take Wan Ye'er to her room first.
"Wait a minute," said A-Guang.
"Huh?" Lin Nai turned around.
Ah Guang pulled a bottle of wine from under the sofa next to him and poured it into several glasses.
"Brother, congratulations on surviving such a close call." Ah Guang grinned and handed over a glass of wine.
Lin Nai smiled and took it. Old Zhang cursed, "So, you little rascal, you actually secretly hid a bottle, huh?" A-Guang rolled his eyes at him, "If I hadn't hidden this good stuff, wouldn't you guys have divided it up already? What use would we be at a critical moment like this? You all know this stuff is a scarce resource right now..."
Even so, Old Zhang and his friends still grabbed him and gave him a good pinch...
After the fight, everyone picked up their glasses and clinked them together.
Linnaeus tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
At night, she carefully held the cup, looked around at how others were drinking from their cups in one gulp, hesitated for a moment, then slowly drank it all.
Lin Nai watched A Guang and the others laughing and joking, and couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself that it really felt good to see old friends...
If Truman and the others are alright too, that would be great...
