As Lin Feng spoke, Tiger Venerate transformed into a flowing light and arrived beside the graceful woman.

At that moment, the graceful woman and the fire serpent were at a standoff, and Lin Feng suddenly approached her and called out, "Feng Lin!"

The graceful woman heard Lin Feng’s voice, hastily removed her veil, and her fair face was filled with disbelief. She hurriedly said to Lin Feng, "How are you here?"

She had clearly seen Lin Feng enter the depths of the Secret Realm within the woods, and under normal circumstances, he was supposed to come out three months later. But it had only been three days, and he had arrived at the Dao’s Spirit Tower with her and others, a thousand miles away.

Facing Feng Ling’s question, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of Tiger Venerate."

Only then did Feng Ling focus her gaze on Tiger Venerate and kneeled toward it on one knee. It turned out Tiger Venerate was a Beast God among Feng Ling’s clan, explaining the deep respect.

Lin Feng quickly prompted Feng Ling to stand up, jokingly saying, "Quickly rise, I can’t accept your kneeling. What’s with the etiquette along the way, treating even a tiger with such respect."

Feng Ling felt a sudden realization, thinking that Tiger Venerate actually allowed Lin Feng to ride on its back, who exactly was Lin Feng, and what kind of opportunities did he receive.

"Now is not the time for chatting," Feng Ling decisively said to Lin Feng, then stood up. A giant fire serpent charged toward her, but Tiger Venerate bit through the serpent’s neck, leaving the huge serpent head struggling on the stone platform, before finally transforming into a burst of light and shattering.

The two ninjas also disposed of several fire serpents, then came over.

Feng Lin looked at the two ninjas and said, "You’ve come too?"

She knew that the two ninjas must have been worried about her, hence they ran over here. At this time, her black-clad subordinates, totaling five hundred, were fighting outside, their fate unknown.

The urgent task now is to leave this Spirit Tower and retrieve the treasure stored within.

For such a Soul Device, they invested heavily, yet didn’t disclose the purpose to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was fully aware but couldn’t do anything about it.

After bypassing all stone platforms, they reached the end of Purgatory Fire Plain, arriving on this platform where there was a vermilion door, leading to the entrance to the Fourth Layer.

The four humans and the tiger came to Fourth Layer, where it was extremely quiet, without much defense.

Feng Ling, using her elegant voice, said somewhat puzzled: "Why is Fourth Layer so silent?"

Lin Feng replied, "I reckon no one has reached the end of Third Layer, thus there’s no defense in here."

Fourth Layer was crossed easily, subsequently, the group arrived at the Fifth Layer tower.

Just like Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer had no dangers, apart from some mechanisms, they encountered no resistance. Besides, for the two Heavenly Punishment ninjas, they were very familiar with mechanisms and hidden weapons, so they avoided triggering any switches and smoothly led Lin Feng and others to the Sixth Layer.

Above the Sixth Layer is the Seventh Layer, meaning the exit of the Spirit Tower is on the Seventh Layer, where there’s a barrier allowing Lin Feng and others to pass directly through the Seventh Layer’s barrier to leave.

But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Tiger Venerate sensed something.

Tiger Venerate let out a roar, unsettling everyone’s stance.

Feng Ling puzzledly said, "What’s wrong with Tiger Venerate?"

Lin Feng looked at Feng Lin and said to everyone, "Tiger Venerate is warning us there’s danger here."

Although Lin Feng said this, he couldn’t pinpoint where the danger was. At this moment, the inside of the Sixth Layer tower was tranquil and orderly.

Suddenly, a giant spider descended from above, immediately grabbing Feng Lin, and Lin Feng’s group was greatly startled.

But it was a step too late; in an instant, Feng Ling was ensnared by the spider’s silk.

Subsequently, more spiders emerged from the shadows at the top of the Sixth Layer room.

They were all stuck to the ceiling, their sharp eyes glued to Lin Feng’s group without moving.

Seeing Feng Ling being captured, Lin Feng firmly decided not to let her encounter danger, hence pulled out his dagger and leapt toward the beam of the tower.

Just as he arrived above, Lin Feng encountered several obstructing spiders, without a word, he took up his dagger and delivered a Shadow Slash, injuring two spiders, as green spider blood spurted out, yet the attack didn’t stop against Lin Feng. Lin Feng, with only Third Spirit Realm, couldn’t simultaneously fight two spiders, so he had to rely on the treasured dagger in his hand to fend off them.

Like sharp spikes, the spider legs repeatedly stabbed at Lin Feng, who parried each time with his dagger, sometimes managing to sever the spider legs.

Lin Feng was struggling, sweats were trickling down his temples.

During the interim between confrontations with the spiders, he panted heavily, then glanced below to find that all the spiders were attracted by Tiger Venerate and two ninjas.

At this moment, Lin Feng was only facing those two giant spiders; seeing this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to seize this opportunity to rescue Feng Lin.

Meanwhile, the big spider that wrapped Feng Lin was already ascending toward the roof along the spider silk, gradually distancing from Lin Feng.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng swiftly activated the Shadow Power within him, a vividly dark silhouette coursed through to his dagger; this dagger being a Ninth Grade Spiritual Artifact flaunting the "Star Fall Mountain" signature was more than capable against the two spiders. Seeing Lin Feng in a hurry, he exertively swung out an advanced skill, "Rapid Dark Flow Slash," directly slicing the two cursed spiders into fragments.

Despite astonishingly breaking into a new skill, Lin Feng was taken aback; however, he couldn’t afford more surprise as he needed to quickly move to rescue Feng Ling.

Lin Feng kicked with both legs, fiercely thrusting on the rafter and using the momentum combined with his energy circulation, charged upward along the spider silk toward the large spider.

The big spider sensed the strong airflow behind it, turned its eyes towards below, and instantly saw Lin Feng rushing up.

It directly hurled the cocoon it was holding with spider legs towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng knew the cocoon contained Feng Lin, and Tiger Venerate flew up to catch Feng Ling, enabling Lin Feng to continue charging upward.

The big spider felt fear, being the Spider Empress, it couldn’t die, otherwise, there’d be no offspring.

However, the spiders below were all exterminated by the two ninjas, with the leftover remnants incapable of ascending to save her.

The Spider Empress had no choice but to greedily climb upward, and Lin Feng, without hesitation, circulated True Yuan within him, transforming into a Colorful Flow Light, which turned into an airflow blade directly piercing through the big spider’s body, and subsequently Lin Feng burst through the head of the Spider Empress, which shattered into pieces.

A burst of green spider blood exploded in midair, but Lin Feng remained unstained due to the Colorful Flow Light; he then settled back onto Tiger Venerate’s back, where it held the cocoon in its mouth, gently descending to the ground.

Lin Feng dismounted, used his dagger to peel off the spider silk cocoon releasing the unconscious Feng Ling inside.

Heavenly Punishment came forward, using her delicate hand to channel a stream of Immortal Spirit Qi directly into Feng Lin’s chest, Feng Ling coughed and revived.

Her first words upon awakening were, "What happened to me?"

Lin Feng recounted the earlier events to her, at this moment everyone looked up at the ceiling, clearly a spider web there. Feng Lin, with indignation, said, "Hmph! So-called reputable sects also keep such vile creatures," her words filled with disdain.
