"That is..."

"What?"

At the Teleportation Array Plaza in Black Tortoise City, Zhang Xinying looked at Aifula on her shoulder in confusion:

"What's wrong, Aifula?"

Only to see Aifula turn and look towards the direction of Pilgrimage Peak, her small face showing a bewildered and uncertain expression as she said:

"I seem to have sensed the aura of the young master."

Zhang Xinying was taken aback, shocked in her heart: 'Lin Yi?'

At first, Zhang Xinying thought that Lin Yi had already exited the dungeon.

But when Zhang Xinying opened the friend list and saw that Lin Yi was still in the [in dungeon...] status, she couldn't help but wonder:

"Isn't he still in the dungeon?"

At this moment, the others such as Tian Ci, seeing Zhang Xinying stopping in place, couldn't help but come over and ask:

"What's wrong, why aren't you moving?"

Originally, they had just finished the battlefield and were preparing to return to the city to handle equipment and rest a bit.

At this time, everyone also noticed Zhang Xinying's unusual behavior and followed Zhang Xinying's gaze:

"Is there something wrong over there?"

Zhang Xinying explained:

"Just now, Aifula said she felt Lin Yi's aura."

"The boss?"

Everyone froze and looked at each other.

At first, they thought the same as Zhang Xinying and assumed Lin Yi had come out of the dungeon.

However, when they realized Lin Yi hadn't exited the dungeon, they became curious:

"The boss is just in a dungeon, that shouldn't be an issue, right?"

At this moment, Aifula felt it difficult to explain. Perhaps only Dongfang Jing could understand what Aifula meant by this.

Originally, Lin Yi, who was supposed to be on the Nine Nether Continent, had his aura appearing on Rafam Continent, which was already incorrect.

No wonder Aifula was so shocked.

Shuai Diao Zha looked in the direction Aifula was gazing, curious:

"Can you sense, where our boss is?"

Aifula affirmed:

"At Pilgrimage Peak."

"Pilgrimage Peak?!"

Tian Ci asked curiously:

"Why did the boss go to Pilgrimage Peak again?"

Red Eyes said:

"It's a pity Ian isn't here, otherwise he might know something."

Tian Ci chuckled from the side:

"Right now, Ian is relaxing in the villa with no one to bother him, enjoying his freedom."

At this moment, Aifula looked anxious and said:

"No, I need to go and check it out."

"I feel like the young master might be in danger."

With that, Aifula disappeared into thin air, leaving everyone startled.

"The boss is in danger? Is this for real?"

Red Eyes asked:

"Should we go?"

Shuai Diao Zha pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"We don't know where the boss is right now, even if we go, we can't do anything."

Moreover, without Lin Yi's teleportation.

To get to the Land of Extreme Cold, they would have to take an airship from Semler Harbor in the Australian War Zone.

By the time they reached Pilgrimage Peak, it would be half a day later.

To take ten thousand steps back.

Even if they arrived there.

If they still couldn't contact Lin Yi, it would be a wasted trip.

Therefore, everyone instinctively looked towards Dongfang Jing.

In Lin Yi's absence, major decisions were made by Dongfang Jing.

The arrangements for battle positions and such were directed by Shiyu, and everyone had their roles clearly defined.

Without hesitation, Dongfang Jing said:

"His matter is something we can't help with for now."

"What we need to do now is to level up and enhance our strength."

"I feel there's something unusual with the Demon Race over at the He Clan; we need to stay here just in case."

Then Dongfang Jing glanced in the direction of Pilgrimage Peak and pondered:

"Additionally, Aifula can travel freely across Rafam Continent; if there were an issue, she would definitely come back to inform us."

"We shouldn't fret needlessly."

Hearing this, everyone stopped overthinking.

Considering how well they knew Lin Yi, if something serious did happen and Lin Yi couldn't solve it himself,

then it would be pointless for them to worry as well.

The only thing they could do now was to improve themselves as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, the gap between them and Lin Yi would only continue to widen.

Understanding this point, Shuai Diao Zha said:

"Then I'll head to the trading market now, you guys buy what you need and head straight to the battlefield, I'll catch up with you later."

...

Meanwhile, over at the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

When Katrina possessed Lin Yi and controlled Lin Yi's body, it truly allowed Lin Yi to witness the terrifying power of a True God.

Facing the Demigod Level Elda.

Katrina merely raised her hand slightly and directly overwhelmed Elda, leaving him helpless and wailing repeatedly.

After Elda's Soul Body was once again dispersed by 'Lin Yi' with a punch.

In the consciousness of Lin Yi.

Elda's soul, now condensing again, appeared to flicker between transparency and opacity.

As if it could completely scatter into nothingness at any moment.

Seeing 'Lin Yi' approaching to strike again, Elda was too weak to speak loudly and said:

"Have mercy."

"I surrender, I admit defeat, I'll do whatever you want."

"Don't kill me."

Yet despite Elda's submission, Katrina, controlling Lin Yi's body, showed no trace of mercy on her face and said:

"Only people with malicious intentions would corrode a Spiritual Artifact into a wicked weapon."

"What use is there in keeping you?!"

Seeing 'Lin Yi's' fist getting closer, Elda, in a soul state, looked horrified and said:

"I... I... I know the whereabouts of the so-called Heaven Clan you're talking about."

"Please don't kill me."

Just as 'Katrina's' fist was less than a punch away from Elda, Lin Yi's voice suddenly exploded in Katrina's mind:

"Wait, don't kill him."

At the critical moment, 'Katrina' controlled Lin Yi's body and let out a cold snort:

Her fist brushed across Elda's cheek and the punch wind smashed fiercely into the adjacent lake:

"Boom~"

At that moment, the heart of the lake felt as if a bomb had been detonated:

"Splash~"

The lake water splashed skyward in all directions.

'Katrina' controlled Lin Yi's body to land on the ground, while Elda hovered in mid-air, as if having taken a stroll before the Ghost Gate, unsettled.

In Lin Yi's consciousness, Katrina's tone was filled with helplessness:

"What if he deceives you?"

Lin Yi replied:

"As long as it concerns news about the Heaven Clan, every detail is critical."

"Only by finding the Heaven Clan can there be the capital to resist the Demon Race at its peak."

Katrina sighed:

"I hope you're right."

At this time, Lin Yi realized he was gradually regaining control over his body.

Meanwhile, Katrina, reverting to a Soul Body, appeared extremely weak, glanced at Lin Yi, and without hesitation floated towards the nearby Holy Sword, merging within it.

Just as Lin Yi was about to pick up the Holy Sword, he noticed the sword's blade suddenly began to vibrate violently.

This movement instantly alerted Elda, who cried out in anger:

"My sword."

But when he looked over, he found the sword was already floating in the air under the control of some power.

Lin Yi watched this scene in shock, unsure of what to do.

Just then, a force that made Lin Yi's heart palpitate suddenly emerged.

Lin Yi, without hesitation, activated a skill:

"Eightfold Mirror" (Within 5 seconds after using the skill, immune to one damage and return this attack to the opponent with 120% Attributes)

A virtual Eight-headed Giant Serpent suddenly manifested behind Lin Yi.

Accompanied by Orochi's roar, a wave of energy suddenly enveloped Lin Yi's entire body, with the surroundings of the energy resembling a mirror, reflecting dazzling rays.

Before Lin Yi could comprehend what was happening, a scream suddenly rang out:

"Ah!!"

Then Lin Yi saw that Elda's soul dimly fell to the ground, unable to move.

Elda used his last ounce of strength to plead to Lin Yi:

"Save me!!"

At this moment, Lin Yi instantly understood what had happened.

Evidently, that force which had made him anxious was Elda's attempt to ambush him.

However, it seemed that his botched ploy caused him to suffer from the backlash.

Looking at his pathetically low Life Value, Lin Yi's voice, as cold as ice, said:

"I already gave you a chance."

"Since you don't appreciate it, I don't mind sending you away."

If I hadn't acted quickly, I might have been tricked by this old fellow.

Even though I'm currently in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, I still don't know if this counts as being in the Nine Nether Continent or Rafam Continent.

The thought of dying here and not being able to return to the Nine Nether Continent scares Lin Yi immensely.

As Lin Yi grasped the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand, Elda turned pale as ashes:

"No!"

"I beg you to give me one more chance."

"I truly know the news about the Heaven Clan you're talking about."

Lin Yi sneered:

"I have always hated people who reneged on their words the most."

With that, Lin Yi activated a skill:

"Die!"

"Arcane Impact"

"No…"
