Chapter 192
Strictly speaking, Lin Qinghen's decadent moments were not long. After returning to the Yin family from the now disappeared Fengmo Gorge, he slept for a day and a night, as if he had died and come back to life again.
When he got up again, he no longer looked as wooden as before, and gradually began to show some life.
At that time, it was said that Yin Jiuxiao died for him. Some people were confused and tried to sow discord between the Yin family and Lin Qinghen, trying to gain a place for themselves after the fall of Suye Fairy Mountain.
These people probably don't know the big landmine Bai Muchuan stepped on during the closure of Beizhou. No matter how they were provoked, the Yin family stood firmly on Lin Qinghen's side, as solid as a rock. From the head of the family Yin Hengxie to the ordinary members of the clan, almost no one wavered.
In the past, Lin Qinghen had a relatively good temper, and he could get along well with Haihun City. But now, he is no longer so nice. Those who have been taught a lesson by him personally suffered a great loss, and they dare not think of such a thing again.
No one even dared to say in front of him that Yin Jiuxiao was dead.
The people of the Yin family still called her "Young Madam", and naturally there was no re-election for the position of Young Master. The position of Young Master had been vacant for ten years, and if anyone had to name the candidate, it would be Lin Qinghen.
Before, Lin Qinghen and Yin Jiuxiao had a clear division of labor, and he did not interfere in the affairs of the Yin family, but now he has changed, as if he has taken on the responsibilities of both Yin Jiuxiao and Lin Qinghen.
Some of the Wolf Clan members were originally used by him, and now that Yin Jiuxiao was not around, it was natural for them to be handed over to him. Lin Qinghen even knew the Wolf Clan's tokens and codes a long time ago, and Yin Jiuxiao had taught them to him. He had a good memory and remembered them after learning them once.
This man's creativity in making elixirs was beyond the reach of others. After Yin Jiuxiao left, nothing could disturb him.
As a workaholic, Diemeng has a batch of new products almost every half a month, which has caused a stir among alchemists. Previously, it was the Xuan-level, and now it has gradually extended to the improvement of the earth-level elixir. Recently, I heard that Lin Qinghen was thinking about the medicine cauldron. If he succeeds, it may be another major change that affects the entire spiritual world.
Ten years ago, the entire alchemy world was influenced by Lin Qinghen, and now it is in his hands, and he has the final say.
Although Yin Jiuxiao was gone, the younger generation of the Yin family seemed to be more motivated. At that time, the first "hope" that Lin Qinghen saw in the Yin family was the children around ten years old. In the past ten years, these children have also emerged. To some extent, they were also fed by Lin Qinghen bottle after bottle of pills. After so long, they have all grown up.
Although he is not as good as Yin Jiuxiao, to be fair, he is also the undisputed top in the continent.
Most of the young people in their twenties were at the Earth level, which was the time when they needed to gain experience. They had become the backbone of the family. Many things in the Yin family now depended on them to deal with, such as some medium-sized demonic cracks that appeared frequently.
Right now.
This afternoon, a demonic crack appeared not far outside the City of Tears. It didn't look big, so this team of young people accepted the mission and came here.
Generally speaking, nothing would go wrong, and everything went smoothly when I started. If I kept doing it this way, I could still get home in time for dinner.
However, when they were dealing with the most powerful demonized blue bull with fangs and a ghost face in the rift, the swords in their hands were about to hit its vital points and take its life, but the blue bull suddenly trembled, and the demonic energy on its body suddenly increased several times, becoming a creature that the earth-level spiritualists could not resist.
The sword formation formed by the team suddenly broke up, and the entire team was stimulated by this force and dispersed in an instant.
not good!
The captain of this team did not want to fight to the end. As soon as he saw the accident, he knew that it was not something he could solve. He immediately filled the gap in the team as the last shield, and then told others to leave quickly.
But the monster didn't want to let them go. It swung its tail and instantly shattered the defense they had put up. Then several streams of demonic energy blocked their way and knocked them to the ground. The next step was for the cow to step on them with its hooves.
If you get stepped on, you'll probably lose half your life if you don't die.
The team leader used his last bit of strength to put up a defense, and at that moment, someone suddenly stood in front of him.
The person who came couldn't be seen clearly, I only knew that the huge tail wrapped around him and threw him to a safe place. Almost everyone around him was like this, wrapped up by the fluffy and extremely safe fox tail, and in an instant they were sent to a farther place.
I was a little panicked before, but once I was caught by the tail, I felt at ease instantly.
The young lady is here!
Lin Qinghen did not take action, he only rescued people, and soon others took over. This time, the sword formation supported by the people was the power of the heavenly level, but it took some time to deal with the irritable green bull.
The two people who took action were Yin Rongyu and Ding Lian.
They both broke through to the third level of the Heavenly Rank not long ago, and were younger than Yin Yaozhi at the time. As representatives of the younger generation, these two people had already begun to have a say in the alliance, and were both independent figures who were not often in the Northern Province, and usually returned home for important matters.
Now they came back here just because of the recent abnormality of the demonic energy. Yin Rongyu put away the sword, peeled off the skin of the fanged ghost-faced blue bull, looked at the beast core dug out after it died, and then handed it to Lin Qinghen who came forward.
"You see, this is the situation," he said, his face a little serious, "the strength of the beasts catalyzed by the demonic energy cracks has suddenly increased, and many people have suffered losses here. Even if they are finally killed, the level of resources obtained has not increased."
Looking at the beast pill of the green bull, even if it is catalyzed by the demonic energy, it is only at the level of about five stars in the Earth Rank. This team of seven or eight people has a strength between three and seven stars in the Earth Rank. Under normal circumstances, there will be no problem in dealing with this crack, it is just a trivial matter.
Fortunately, this crack is not far from the City of Tears. After Lin Qinghen merged with the Pure Heavenly Soul, he became very sensitive. As soon as he found something wrong here, he rushed over to save people.
The news came faster from the Alliance. In fact, the Wolf Clan also received similar news and told Lin Qinghen at about the same time, but Yin Rongyu and the others were worried, so they came back. This was not the first time.
According to the alliance's statistics, in addition to this strange situation in recent months, the frequency of demonic energy cracks has been increasing, which is somewhat abnormal. The people in Beizhou are quite sensitive to the sudden and frequent occurrence of these demonic energy occurrences. After all, they have suffered great losses in the past, and they are afraid that what happened many years ago will happen again.
Lin Qinghen frowned, but he couldn't tell what was going on. Just when he wanted to go forward and check the details, the captain of the small team that was thrown out suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Lin Qinghen: "Madam, it's bad, our team is missing someone!"
Lin Qinghen still remembered the missing person, who was the little girl named Yin Xiaomeng who accidentally found the seeds of the Immortality Vine and gave them to him.
Her strength is not low, she is at Earth Rank Six Star and is the vice-captain of the team. After growing up, she has shed her cowardice and is a very smart child.
When Lin Qinghen arrived, he saved everyone he could see. He did not count the number of people in detail, but no one should have been missed.
Even if the monster suddenly went berserk, with her current ability, there would be no problem for her to hold on for a while. It was impossible for it to not revive enough for Lin Qinghen to notice.
The captain seemed to confirm something, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him, "My family said her life lamp is still on. Xiao Meng is not dead, but we just can't find her."
Every member of the Yin family has a life lamp. They release a wisp of their own spiritual energy into it. Its most basic function is to judge life and death. However, until the demonic energy crack was completely healed, there was no trace of it.
This kind of thing not only happens in the Northern Province, but also in other provinces in the spiritual world. However, the demonic energy cracks have appeared and they have to be resolved, which is a lot of trouble.
Nowadays, even an ordinary person has to find a heavenly rank guardian to protect him, to prevent any accidents from happening.
No one lost their life, but more and more people from the Yin family disappeared in the demonic energy rift. There have been about four or five people during this period. The reason they disappeared rather than died was that the life lamps they left at home had never been extinguished.
There were fewer people in every place, as if they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Leng Qiuyue came to him to beg for help, saying that a child that Fuxin Miaofa had focused on training was also missing, and that he was going to deal with the demonic energy rift, so she asked him for help and must find the person back.
Because of this incident, Lin Qinghen personally went to the demonic energy cracks several times, trying to seize the moment of sudden change to find the source of the abnormal demonic energy.
Not long after, several such abnormalities occurred in Beizhou again, and he was probably the only one in the spiritual world who could rely on the Pure Heaven Soul to protect his body and pass through the cracks in the ground. Lin Qinghen tried it several times and had some experience this time. He went deeper and vaguely felt that there was something in it. Then he went down and caught a... black cat there?
It doesn't just look like a cat, it's just a little bigger than an adult's palm, with a small horn on its head. It floats in the ball of light. It is not the source, but it has a heavy demonic aura on its body, as if it is absorbing something.
The black cat was also startled when it saw Lin Qinghen.
"How could there be a spiritual master here!" Lin Qinghen heard it speak, and its voice sounded like a baby's. "You...you...what's going on?"
They couldn't stay outside for too long. Lin Qinghen frowned, thought for a moment, pulled the black cat over amid its suspicious look and screams, and took it out.
"How can you be so strong... Oh, no! No! I can't get to the ground!" The black cat kept struggling, "I will die!"
But Lin Qinghen didn't listen to him.
He seemed to be trying to experiment with something. After reaching the ground, the black cat screamed as if it had seen a knife when it saw the light, and its hair began to emit smoke as if it was burning. All this did not stop until Lin Qinghen wrapped it in a faint red light.
The power of the Cuitian Soul can protect him. This power is pure, transcending spiritual energy and demonic energy, and can naturally be mobilized by him to protect others.
"Is it you who caused all this demonic energy?" Lin Qinghen stared at it, "You are... the real demon beast."
He was not angry. Instead, he curled up the corners of his mouth and slowly smiled.
"It just so happens that I have something to ask you."
"About... the demon world."
Lin Qinghen kept repeating the last words Yin Jiuxiao said to him. If it weren't for these last words, which gave him a little hope to live, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"I promise you, I won't die, Qinghen, wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you."
Yin Jiuxiao said this to him.
As long as it is his promise, he will never break it.
It was this thought that supported Lin Qinghen to return to the Yin family, and he never gave up hope year after year.
He firmly believed that Jiuxiao was only away temporarily, so during this time he would support the Yin family and Beizhou, and let the entire spiritual world search every corner for him, so that when Jiuxiao came back, he would be the first to find him, and even the rules of heaven and earth could not separate them again.
But Lin Qinghen couldn't just wait. He had been looking for Yin Jiuxiao's whereabouts. If he was not dead, where had he gone all these years?
What he is most inclined to is the legendary demon world.
Lin Qinghen already knew about Yin Jiuxiao's background, the son of a spirit demon. He didn't know what his mother was like, but even if the one Yin Jiuxiao's father fell in love with was not a human, it must be a living being with thoughts and substance, not a ball of demonic energy.
Legend has it that the evil spirit came from the back of the continent. Yin Jiuxiao's destination at that time should be there. If there really are living beings there and the Demon Realm really exists, then there is naturally more hope that Yin Jiuxiao is alive.
"Let me ask you, have you ever seen this person in your demon world?"
Since knowing that the demonic energy has been rampant recently, Lin Qinghen has been carrying a photo stone with him, unwilling to give up even the slightest hope.
But the little black cat didn't even look at it.
"I am the evil devil of the dark night! I will never be intimidated by you despicable spiritual masters! I won't tell you a word!" The kitten felt a little better, and then it jumped and squeaked in Lin Qinghen's red light, "I advise you to put me back as soon as possible, otherwise...ah!"
Lin Qinghen was a ruthless man of few words. After he removed the barrier for a while, smoke began to come out of the black cat again.
After several attempts, it finally calmed down.
"I said, isn't that okay?"
The little black cat lay listlessly inside the barrier, curled itself up into a ball, and glanced at the person on the photo stone.
"I know him, I really know him... Don't remove that red light, why are you still looking for him? You are not good people! If it weren't for him stealing my territory, why would I, the Dark Night Demon King, be in this situation?"
Lin Qinghen was stunned, then couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Have you really seen Jiuxiao?"
"What Jiuxiao?" The black cat shook his ears, "His name is Lingyun."
