"How foolish." After Lin Han transformed into the appearance of that demon, he hid its corpse, muttered a complaint, and then returned to his original spot.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" another demon asked him as his companion returned.
Lin Han casually replied, "It's nothing, just a wild rabbit. Let's keep guarding it."
Seeing this, the other person didn't ask any more questions, turned around and continued to concentrate on his post.
Just as he turned around, Lin Han killed over a thousand people with a single blow, and the man collapsed limply to the ground.
Lin Han ignored the person lying on the ground, walked past him, and went into the room to look for Li Yao.
Before they arrived, Lin Han and Mu Yan had already divided up the tasks: he would go find Xing Qiu, and then Lin Han would rescue Li Yao and take her to Xing Qiu's detention center to meet up.
Time was of the essence, so Lin Han went straight into the room and saw Li Yao sitting slumped on the floor, her clothes disheveled. Without saying a word, she knocked her unconscious, wrapped her in a piece of cloth, and carried her away.
Meanwhile, Mu Yan's side was also making good progress. He quickly found Xing Qiu, but he didn't have the ability to get him out yet, so he hid in the shadows and waited to see what would happen.
Xingqiu had already discovered him, but for a while he was unsure whether he was friend or foe, so he pretended not to have noticed.
Suddenly, a very noticeable commotion broke out in the quiet night.
"Quick! The water's boiling! Get out of there!"
"Help! Someone, come quick!"
Shouts came from outside, and the demons guarding Xingqiu inside rushed out to help when they heard that there was a fire.
In the brief moment he was gone, Lin quickly came in, roughly pulled the iron chains off Xing Qiu's body, and, without caring whether he was dead or not, casually tossed them to Mu Yan.
Then they quickly evacuated.
When the demons who had gone out found no one outside, they immediately realized they had been tricked. They rushed back and, sure enough, Xing Qiu, who had been imprisoned, was nowhere to be found. So they immediately sounded the alarm.
Instantly, piercing alarms blared throughout the city.
Upon hearing this, Lin Han saw that demon soldiers had already appeared below, and he quickly rushed out.
But he was quickly discovered, and Lin Han had no choice but to change course and run towards the Demon Clan's holy land.
Sure enough, the closer they got to the holy land, the fewer demon soldiers came after them. Seeing that they had entered the holy land's territory, Lin Han slowly descended from the sky.
"Xiao Yan, wake him up." Lin Han instructed Mu Yan to wake Xing Qiu up.
Mu Yan was also very straightforward and blunt, simply splashing a basin of water on him, and Xing Qiu instantly sobered up.
"Let's make a deal. I'll help you now, and when you regain that position, you're not allowed to wage war against the human race as long as you're in power."
"If you agree, I'll save you right now; if you don't, you can stay here and fend for yourself with your little wife."
Lin Han spoke to Xing Qiu without any politeness, showing no fear whatsoever.
Xing Qiu was flexible and adaptable. He wasn't annoyed by Lin Han's words and readily agreed to Lin Han's request, swearing an oath on his inner demons.
Lin Han only began to use her magic to save him after seeing this.
Since she returned from the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor has lifted the restrictions on her, and she has regained her strength. However, due to the pressure of the Heavenly Laws, her strength can only be maintained at a certain level and cannot be exceeded.
But saving one person is really the simplest thing in the world.
In no time, Xing Qiu's injuries were almost healed, and Lin Han also treated his hidden injuries.
"Alright, this is your demon race's holy land now. You should know the way. Lead the way." After healing Xing Qiu, Lin Han stood up, clapped his hands, and said.
Xing Qiu stood up from the ground, feeling very grateful to Lin Han for helping him treat his hidden injuries.
Reaching out, she picked up Li Yao, who had been carelessly tossed to the ground, and woke her up. Carrying her in her arms, she walked at the front, leading the way for them.
When Li Yao, who had just woken up, saw Xing Qiu carrying her and heading somewhere, she was about to throw a tantrum, but Xing Qiu calmed her down with a look: "Be good, I'll explain to you later."
Lin Han, who was walking behind, rubbed her arms and looked at the two people in front of her who were radiating pink bubbles. She silently moved a little closer to Mu Yan.
After noticing her behavior, Mu Yan didn't show it on his face, but his body language betrayed him. He gently held her hand and said, "Master, be careful of the slippery road."
Lin Han did not object, so Mu Yan did not let go and held on to her hand.
"Where is Elder Lin headed?" Xing Qiu, who had walked ahead, asked Lin Han behind him.
Lin Han truthfully answered that he was going to his destination, so Xing Qiu led them in a slightly different direction. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw some light.
"Elder Lin, Lianglian Island is just ahead. I won't see you off any further. I wish you a safe journey," Xing Qiu said to Lin Han while holding Li Yao.
Lin Han hadn't planned for him to see her off, so she nodded and continued walking forward with Mu Yan, while Xing Qiu led Li Yao deeper into the woods.
"Xiao Yan, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?" Lin Han asked Mu Yan as she walked on the log bridge, looking down at her feet.
Mu Yan thought about this question carefully and realized that no matter what kind of life he lived, as long as his master was there, that was the life he wanted to live.
Then, with a bright smile, she said, "The life I want is very simple; having my beloved by my side is enough."
"Oh? So our Xiaoyan has a girl he likes? Which family is she from? Did he win her over?" Lin Han became interested as soon as she heard Mu Yan's words and asked.
"You're ready to pursue her? What kind of life do you envision, Master?" Mu Yan asked Lin Han with a smile.
Lin Han rested her chin on her hand, paused to think for a moment before answering, "I would like to be in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where I can see the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, and just lie there quietly to enjoy it. That would be wonderful."
Little did anyone know that Lin Han's words would soon come true, but that's another story.
After hearing Lin Han's words and imagining that scene, Mu Yan couldn't help but look forward to it.
Soon, Lin Han and his group arrived at Lianglian Island, which was more like a mountain than an island.
"Xiao Yan, after we get up this mountain and I retrieve what belongs to me, do you want to retire with me?" Lin Han asked Mu Yan beside her.
Mu Yan took the Qiankun bag in his hand, looked at Lin Han and said, "I am extremely honored to be able to retire with my master."
After saying that, he placed the Qiankun bag in Lin Han's hand, then casually drew his sword and used it as a walking stick. The two of them began to climb, one in front of the other.
The higher they went, the thinner the air became and the lower the temperature. Moreover, perhaps due to the magnetic field, Lin Han clearly felt that his magic was being suppressed.
"Huff, huff." Lin Han stopped to rest. The higher she went, the stronger the discomfort she felt. She turned to look at Mu Yan and found that his face was even paler than hers.
He asked with concern, "Xiao Yan, are you alright?"
Mu Yan shook his head, indicating that he was alright. Seeing this, Lin Han directly asked Xiao Meng how far they were from their destination.
