Deep within the Abyssal Demon Domain.

Call out!

Two streaks of light flew swiftly across the low sky, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily, their powerful energy permeating their bodies.

These two figures were Lin Langtian and Ling Qingzhu, who had set off from the Luo Shen Ancient Treasure three days ago. Their destination was naturally the Taiqing Immortal Pond deep within the Abyssal Demon Domain Realm.

Ling Qingzhu was clearly somewhat taken aback by Lin Langtian's presence that day.

At first, she clearly wanted to refuse. She was proud and didn't like owing favors to others, especially when the person in question was Lin Langtian. Her pride made it even harder for her to accept.

However, when she looked at the young man's unyielding attitude, for some reason, she swallowed the refusal that was about to come out.

She has a cool and aloof personality, and her daily interactions with others are also quite detached. However, it is clear that this detachment is somewhat different when she is in front of Lin Langtian. This difference may be subtle, but it is definitely there.

And the subtle source of this is clearly the complex and inexplicable relationship between the two.

"We have entered the depths of the Abyssal Demon Domain. The Demonic Creature here are extremely powerful. In addition, although the Demonic Creature are troublesome, we also need to be careful of other people."

Deep within this Abyssal Demon Domain, there are many treasure hunters, but those who can venture this far are certainly not ordinary individuals.

"It wouldn't be surprising if they even reached the Life Profound Stage," Ling Qingzhu said solemnly.

"Oh, the Life Profound Stage..." Lin Langtian murmured, then nodded slightly.

With his current strength, unless there is a powerful expert at the Life Profound Stage Perfection, they can no longer pose any threat to him.

However, in this Abyssal Demon Domain, there will naturally be no powerful beings at the Life Profound Stage Perfection. After all, in this place, the stronger one is, the more rejection one will face.

"We will arrive at the location of the Taiqing Immortal Pond in half a day. The place is quite secluded and should not be easily discovered."

Lin Langtian nodded again, and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze abruptly turned to the ground in the distance ahead, where extremely violent fluctuations were emanating.

"That is..."

Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes, and then he saw that the violent fluctuations were actually emanating from an extremely large Demonic Creature.

At this moment, a figure of light and shadow stood suspended in mid-air in front of it, unleashing a barrage of extremely fierce attacks like a torrential rain, directly suppressing the Demonic Creature and rendering it unable to move.

"There's fighting going on..."

Lin Langtian could sense that the Demonic Creature also possessed the strength of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, but that person was able to completely suppress it. It was clear that its strength was at least at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage Peak.

"Those are treasure hunters from the depths of the Abyssal Demon Domain. Let's go, don't talk to them, it's very taboo here," Ling Qingzhu said after glancing at them from afar.

Lin Langtian nodded, and the two of them did not slow down, but went around the battlefield in the distance.

Although this person posed no threat to him, Lin Langtian did not want to cause any more trouble.

Immediately afterward, the two moved, increased their speed, and sped away into the distance.

Although it was only half a day to reach their destination, due to the many Demonic Creature that appeared along the way, it took Lin Langtian and his companion more than half a day to arrive at their destination.

"This is it..." Ling Qingzhu pointed her slender finger at a mountain range that appeared in the darkness ahead. Her usually cold voice also let out a quiet sigh of relief at this moment.

Lin Langtian looked up and saw a mountain range looming in the darkness ahead. From a distance, it looked like an ancient beast, its body pitch black, crouching and coiling. Faintly, the roars of violent Demonic Creature could be heard coming from it.

"Let's go," Lin Langtian said with a smile.

"Try to conceal your presence. There are quite a few Demonic Creature here. If we are surrounded, we will have no choice but to flee," Ling Qingzhu reminded them.

"Um."

Seeing Lin Langtian nod, Ling Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. The Green Lotus beneath her jade feet dissipated, and then the light of her Yuan Power subsided. The two of them then quietly slipped into the massive mountain range.

Whoosh!

Fearing to disturb the Demonic Creature in the mountains, Lin Langtian and his companion slowed down considerably. Deafening roars echoed from various parts of the mountains, filled with violence.

Be careful.

The sweeping Mental Power suddenly fluctuated, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly grabbed Ling Qingzhu's smooth white wrist, but his gaze was fixed on a certain place in front of him.

There, a black Black Panther, entirely black with wings, lay dormant, looking like a black stone from afar.

These Demonic Creature, taking advantage of the demonic energy permeating the Abyssal Demon Domain, were clearly able to conceal themselves perfectly; even Ling Qingzhu had failed to detect them earlier.

"Um."

Ling Qingzhu nodded gently, and then, in the dim light, her bright eyes glanced at Lin Langtian.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian did not let go of Ling Qingzhu's hand. Feeling the soft and cool jade wrist, his heart fluttered slightly, and then he said in a grand and proper manner.

"This place is fraught with danger. A powerful Demonic Creature could suddenly appear at any time. My Mental Power as Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master is perfect for monitoring the surroundings. So, we should weigh the pros and cons and not get bogged down in minor details."

Hearing Lin Langtian's righteous words, Ling Qingzhu was taken aback, but she quickly realized what he meant. Immediately, a hint of shame and anger flashed in her eyes. Wasn't Lin Langtian blatantly taking advantage of her?

However, Ling Qingzhu was immediately drawn to the Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master that Lin Langtian mentioned. This level of Mental Power was extremely outstanding, even in the God Sect and Fu Valley, which specialized in Mental Power.

The latter is actually a disciple of the Yuan Sect, and his Mental Power cultivation is only a secondary cultivation. In that case, this person is truly a prodigy.

Seemingly surprised by Lin Langtian's talent, or persuaded by his words, Ling Qingzhu Lin Langtian a light breath, her chest heaving slightly, and then let Lin Langtian hold her wrist without resisting.

As Lin Langtian gazed at the slender and graceful figure that seemed to have become compliant in the dim light, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

A woman's heart is unfathomable; blind obedience is not the way to go. Only by displaying true masculine charm can one conquer such a proud and ambitious woman.

With a light laugh, Lin Langtian didn't forget the important matter. He held Ling Qingzhu's jade wrist tightly, feeling the tantalizing touch. The two carefully traversed the mountains, taking a rather strange route.

As they walked, perhaps because of the contact between their skin, the atmosphere between the two gradually became somewhat ambiguous.

Looking at Lin Langtian's tall and steady figure, a sense of security she had never felt before welled up in Ling Qingzhu's heart, causing some inexplicable thoughts to suddenly arise in her mind. However, as soon as they appeared, Ling Qingzhu banished them from her mind.

With her silver teeth lightly biting her red lips, Ling Qingzhu lowered her clear eyes, somewhat afraid to look at Lin Langtian's back. She could only let him pull her along silently.

About half an hour later, the darkness ahead suddenly brightened considerably, and a valley appeared in the sight of Lin Langtian and his companion.

Inside that valley, Lin Langtian could sense an extremely powerful energy fluctuation.

Two figures swiftly leaped up the mountainside like ghosts. At the same time, Ling Qingzhu took the opportunity to shake off Lin Langtian's hand, her pretty face blushing slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian, to save face for the other party, did not say anything, but smiled slightly and then looked ahead.

In the depths of the valley, a pool of water shimmered with a seven-colored luster, its light spreading out and illuminating the entire valley in a breathtakingly beautiful way.

"That is the Taiqing Immortal Pond."

Ling Qingzhu took a deep breath to calm herself down. Looking at the colorful pool, a beautiful smile of relief finally appeared on her face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's gaze also turned into the valley, then lingered on the pool of water that displayed seven colors, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

Unexpectedly, such pure energy still exists in this Abyssal Demon Domain corrupted by demonic energy.

"It is said that this Taiqing Immortal Pond is the place where an ancient powerhouse passed away. His bones penetrated the earth, isolating him from the erosion of demonic energy, and at the same time, forming this Taiqing Immortal Pond." Ling Qingzhu's soft voice came from the side.

"Oh, there are Demonic Creature guarding this place." Lin Langtian turned his gaze to the front of the Taiqing Immortal Pond.

On the dark ground there, a huge black serpent coiled up. This serpent had three heads, and its ferocious fangs gleamed with a cold light. Its saliva dripped down, directly corroding away the rocks on the ground.

Lin Langtian could sense an extremely violent energy fluctuation on the body of this Three-Headed Serpent, no less powerful than a Half-Step Life Profound Stage expert.

"Leave it to me," Lin Langtian said thoughtfully.

"Hmm." Ling Qingzhu nodded. She knew that getting entangled with such a fearless Demonic Creature would be extremely troublesome, and it would not give up until it was completely resolved.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Langtian conjured two Demon Corpse.

Immediately following Lin Langtian's instructions, the Demon Corpse shot out and, while still in mid-air, unleashed a punch from a distance. A sharp gust of wind slammed directly into the monstrous snake's body.

Bang!

A deep voice rang out, and the monstrous snake, which had been dormant, suddenly opened its scarlet eyes. An angry shriek came from its three heads, and then black light containing a strong corrosive aura immediately shot towards the two Demon Corpse.

The Demon Corpse corpse nimbly darted through the air, dodging all the black light, before turning and rushing out of the valley.

Roar!

Faced with the fleeing Demon Corpse corpse, the monstrous snake roared to the sky. Lacking much intelligence, it was clearly incapable of thinking, so it simply relied on its instinctive rage. With a flick of its tail, it transformed into a streak of black light and chased after the fleeing creature like lightning.

A rumbling sound quickly spread from the valley and eventually disappeared into the distance.

"All done..." Lin Langtian clapped his hands with a smile, then nodded to Ling Qingzhu. The two of them then flew out and landed at the Taiqing Immortal Pond in the valley.

Ling Qingzhu squatted down by the pool, dipped her jade hand into the water, and felt the peculiar energy permeating it. A hint of joy flashed across her face.

"Could you help me keep watch at the valley entrance for a while?" Ling Qingzhu looked up, and a shy, feminine glint flashed in her clear eyes.

"Of course you can. If other men see you, I'll be the one who suffers." Lin Langtian smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu was taken aback, but then she understood the meaning behind Lin Langtian's words, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

However, having grown accustomed to Lin Langtian's opportunistic behavior along the way, and given their already delicate relationship, she was too lazy to take it seriously at this moment.

Watching Lin Langtian's departing figure, Ling Qingzhu breathed a slight sigh of relief. She removed her veil with her jade-like hand and was about to undress and enter the pool when a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and stopped her movement.

"You!"

The sudden turn of events startled Ling Qingzhu, who quickly turned around and saw Lin Langtian turning back again. Immediately, anger surged across her beautiful face.

"Someone's coming." However, before Ling Qingzhu could get angry, Lin Langtian's gaze turned to the darkness outside the valley, and he said slowly.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's eyebrows furrowed immediately, and a cold glint flashed in her clear eyes.

"Gentlemen, you've been following us so furtively for so long, it's time to show yourselves, isn't it?" Lin Langtian stared into the darkness in the distance and said in a deep voice.

With his current Mental Power Eight Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, unless one is a powerful expert above the Life Profound Stage Great Success, it would be too much of a pipe dream to try to hide it from his detection.

"Since you refuse to show yourself, then we'll have to force you to come out."

Lin Langtian gazed at the still quiet darkness, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He curled his palm, and the firelight condensed into a sharp triangular edge, which then transformed into a dart and shot out suddenly.

Ding ding!

The flaming dart shot into the darkness, producing a crisp sound. Sparks flew, and the dark forest rippled. In the next instant, three dark figures shot out before Lin Langtian and Ling Qingzhu's slightly cold gazes.

"Hehe, this kid has a keen sense of perception." The three landed above the valley entrance, looking down at the two people in the valley, and chuckled strangely.

Lin Langtian stared at the three people who had appeared with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. They were all dressed in black robes.

Two of them looked somewhat alike and appeared to be brothers. They were both fairly good-looking, but their slightly narrow eyes kept wandering over Ling Qingzhu's delicate body.

The smiles on their faces also added a touch of lewdness to their appearance.

The man in the lead was a man around thirty years old. He was tall and slender with a handsome face, but there was a hint of Evil Energy about him. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back and was looking at the Taiqing Immortal Pond with a greedy gaze.

"The two who look alike should be the Yang Brothers, who are quite infamous in the Abyssal Demon Domain. They are both powerful figures who have stepped into the half-step into the Life Profound Stage."

The leader, named Luo Zhan, was a Life Profound Stage Small Success. They had been wanted by some Super Sect, but they were hiding in this Abyssal Demon Domain, and even the Super Sect were somewhat helpless against them. "Shall we go together?" Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian patted Ling Qingzhu's hand and, under her surprised gaze, shook his head with a smile.

"They're just a bunch of chickens and dogs, leave them all to me..."
