"Lin Zifeng, you must stay alive! You must stay alive!"

Inside the headquarters... Liu Ruyan, Zhang Yuxuan, Zhao Xuemo... and many other women’s eyes were glistening with tears. A great disaster was approaching the South Heavenly Gate.

But Lin Zifeng, who had disappeared for many days, still had not appeared, causing an inexplicable anxiousness to build up in the hearts of the women...

"Brother Lin! You must come back alive, you must come back!!!"

Zhang Yuxuan’s lips trembled, her eyes were flustered, and her mind was in a fog, not knowing what to do...

Soon... under a gray and misty sky, a drizzle was falling... everyone was getting soaked in the light rain...

... Even over in Macau, upon receiving the news, Gambling God Ji Wu’s sister, Silence, knew about the current situation of the South Heavenly Gate, and her most admired man had vanished, leaving Silence, who was soon to become a bride, with nothing but Lin Zifeng’s image in her mind.

During this period, she paid a lot of attention to Lin Zifeng, only to be completely stunned when she found out later that Lin Zifeng was the leader of the South Heavenly Gate.

"Brother Lin, you must survive well, you are surely going to save the South Heavenly Gate!"

...... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

And Lin Zifeng, who was in the Dark Prison, once again found that the Magic Bracelet was pulsing and flashing even more violently.

This time, it confirmed his initial thought.

"Could it be that something really happened at the South Heavenly Gate?" At this moment, Lin Zifeng began to feel restless and uneasy.

"Dead Dog, how about we leave here?"

"Damn! Leave now?"

Handsome Guy was startled, not expecting his intention to change so drastically.

"Yes, to leave here now. If we can’t leave now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out. The deeper we go, the greater the difficulties we encounter, and the dangers will become greater too!"

Lin Zifeng suggested.

"You bastard! I’ve been telling you to leave here for days, and you were dead set against it. Now you suddenly tell me you want to leave. Are you freaking kidding me?"

Handsome Guy jumped in anger.

At first, it tried desperately to leave this damn place with him, but he wouldn’t listen, insisting on going deeper. Now it’s like this. Saying to leave just like that—this really pissed Handsome Guy off. This is teasing a dog!

"The situation is urgent now. I have to leave." Lin Zifeng said back, then turned to watch the Demon Nature Holy War as he walked step by step towards the depths. Lin Zifeng’s eyes were full of confusion, unsure whether to continue following along. But his intuition told him. He shouldn’t go deeper. After defeating the Human King of the Eighth Layer, he had been wandering in the depths for two days without knowing if he had reached the Ninth Layer!

The Eighth Layer was already so terrifying, so what about the Ninth Layer? Wouldn’t the Great Power that appears be even more formidable? The Jiuyou King’s Residual Soul of the Tenth Layer can dare to fight with the Demon Nature Holy War, and who knows if more powerful opponents will be encountered in the subsequent layers.

"Father! I can’t keep accompanying you on your journey. Now, on the other side of the South Heavenly Gate, there’s my wife and child, as well as my family and friends. I can’t just disregard their lives and deaths. I hope the next time I come, I’ll still be able to see you!"

To prevent himself from regretting his decision, Lin Zifeng didn’t hesitate, almost immediately turning around with the Heavenly Painting Halberd and leaving.

"Damn! You son of a bitch, and you just leave like that?"

Handsome Guy’s ears perked up instantly, feeling completely uninterested.

"Dead Dog! If you don’t leave now, when my father comes and leaves, where will you hide?" Lin Zifeng’s voice echoed in the pitch-black space. Frightened, Handsome Guy quickly turned into a white light and followed him, running while cursing him as no good.

"Damn brat! You son of a bitch, you’re setting me up! I told you long ago not to come, not to come, and you insisted on coming to this damn place. Now you suddenly want to leave, what the hell kind of game are you playing with me!

Handsome Guy’s cursing voice echoed throughout the space... However, just after they left, a black human face suddenly appeared in the pitch-black space! A giant human face swayed twice in the dark space and finally rushed toward the Demon Nature Holy War.

"Roar!!!"

The Demon Nature Holy War suddenly turned around, opened its mouth, and roared. With a swish, it rushed towards the giant human face.

......

And all this was no longer related to Lin Zifeng. If he delayed for a moment longer, he might have had to fight with the king of the Ninth Layer...

On this journey, Lin Zifeng and Handsome Guy managed to leave without major incidents. The beautiful Human King of the Eighth Layer was severely injured by the Demon Nature Holy War and did not come out to stop him. As for the kings of the Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer, and Seventh Layer, they were not a match for Lin Zifeng at all; he could just crush them!

After an entire night’s breakout, following the marks they had made when they arrived and the sensitive nose of Handsome Guy, they finally struggled out with all their might.

By the time they broke out of Dark Prison from the entrance, it was already dawn the next day!

Who knows what major event had happened on the other side in Zhonghai and Yanjing, even now, his Magic Bracelet was still flashing. It seemed that something major had already happened.

"Damn! Finally out of this damn place, even if you were to carry me sideways back in, I won’t come again. Damn it, it’s too scary! I’d rather be a comfortable dog."

Escaping, Handsome Guy’s entire white fur had long turned black.

There was no longer any presence of the Eastern Demon Mastiff, looking no different from a stray Pekingese.

"Dead Dog, there may be some trouble over in Yanjing. You could say we’re in the same boat. I wonder if you’re willing to help me out?"

Lin Zifeng asked.

"Damn! I knew as soon as you opened your mouth, nothing good was coming. But... if you want your Mastiff Lord to help you, you need to call me Lord and say it in a way that pleases your Mastiff Lord. Then I’ll help you out. This condition isn’t too much, right?"

Hearing about Lin Zifeng’s dilemma, Handsome Guy loved the feeling of hitting someone when they’re down.

"..." Lin Zifeng turned his head and walked away, not even glancing at it...

"Hey hey hey! Kid, no need to take it so seriously! I was just joking." Handsome Guy softened again, rushed forward to grab Lin Zifeng’s pant leg with its mouth, and growled lowly: "Damn it, are you still going to throw tantrums with your Mastiff Lord? Alright, your Mastiff Lord is afraid of you now. Tell me, what big matter do you need my help with?"

"I don’t know, but I have a feeling that something major has happened. If we don’t return now, we might face a massive disaster!"

Lin Zifeng didn’t hide his intuition. The Magic Bracelet had already recognized him as its master and had been with him for a long time. It had never deceived him. He would rather trust the Magic Bracelet’s sensing than risk ignoring the safety of the South Heavenly Gate.

(That’s all for tonight’s update. Fighting again tomorrow, recently stuck in writing, as I’m constructing how Lin Zifeng will return in a remarkable way. So it’s hard to write, sat all day, and still haven’t figured it out.)
