Ambushed, Part 1

At this point, Fengyun's face curled into a mischievous grin. "But I've already lost the ability to experience the hardship of achieving this result through hard work!"

"Thinking about it, it's really heartbreaking!"

Beibei's lips twitched upon hearing this. No matter how he listened to these words, they felt wrong and made him feel so sour!

After teasing Beibei a bit more, Fengyun took them directly to receive a mission, thus beginning their sightseeing tour of Hell.

Emperor Wing City, aboard a newly set sailing Metal Life, Fengyun tested the Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact's ability to conceal his aura, while saying to Lin Lei, "Lin Lei, you'll be in charge of our group's actions from now on."

"In my spare time while experiencing life and doing tasks, I plan to study the mysteries of the soul. I'm afraid I won't have much energy to deal with miscellaneous matters!"

At this stage of Fengyun to power, aside from continuing to comprehend the profound Mysteries of the Laws using the Light and Light-Shadow Orb before its destruction, the only way to further enhance his strength is through improvements to his soul.

After Mysteries of the Laws have an effect on both the soul and matter.

Although his foundation is insufficient, even the most profound understanding cannot fundamentally change his soul techniques. However, a deeper understanding can ultimately compensate for his shortcomings in the soul.

Moreover, regardless of whether it's the Darkness Law, they are both quite adept at the path of the soul, and Fengyun doesn't want to waste this part of his talent.

Ten years later, the Brun River

Suddenly, a cloud of yellow sand gathered, enveloping the Metal Life where Fengyun and the others were located.

Fengyun, who was studying the effects of Light and Dark Elements on the soul, was slightly taken aback and thought to himself, "The gears of fate are indeed turning as always."

"Even though they hadn't experienced the Black Dragon Tribe, Lin Lei and the others still happened to accept the Moon Castle's assessment mission and became demons."

"I clearly chose a mission that had nothing to do with Salomon, but the employer ran into problems, and Lin Lei ended up taking on an escort mission from Salomon."

"Everything is proceeding according to the trajectory of fate, and the Wind Ancient Castle has arrived as scheduled!"

Setting down the experimental equipment, Fengyun's energy fluctuations flashed by, and the Light and Darkness Energy around the Wind Ancient Castle converged from the castle, forming a faint black curtain beneath the ground in a short time.

This is the effect of Fengyun's modification to the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel. Fengyun no longer needs to arrange the formation in advance to generate the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel.

He has now modified this move to the point where he can perform it independently once he has grasped the fusion of the mysteries of light and darkness to a certain extent.

Although the preparation time could not be eliminated, it has been reduced to the minimum that he can currently achieve.

This faint black curtain hidden beneath the ground, though not yet showing any unusual signs, is the catalyst for Fengyun to activate the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel. With a mere thought, Fengyun can complete the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel in just three breaths.

At that time, those with strength below the Seven-star Demon will not even have a chance to break through.

"My idea for the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel was inspired by the ideas of the Wind Ancient Castle. Now that I have seen the Wind Ancient Castle in person, I must take a good look at it."

"Even if the laws are different, they should be able to give me some inspiration to improve the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel."

"Boss, something's wrong with this castle. It's alive."

Beibei's heart sank as he looked at the wall that had suddenly appeared in front of him. From the moment they were attacked, they had been separated. Originally, they could have quickly reunited by relying on the connection between their souls and Lin Lei's.

But unexpectedly, the castle's structure was changeable at any time, and the castle owner seemed to have no intention of giving them a chance to meet up. If they followed the castle's route normally, he and Lin Lei probably wouldn't be able to meet up at all.

In addition, Lin Lei also discovered that besides deliberately isolating them with the castle, the enemy also had completely unisolated Black-clad Assassin inside the castle hunting down those who were alone.

Of course, none of this is the most frightening thing. What's truly terrifying is that they haven't discovered anything unstable about this Yellow Sand Castle yet.

It should be noted that besides them, Fengyun, the Seven-star Demon, should also be in this castle right now.

It has been quite some time since the Metal Life were destroyed, but so far they have not noticed any action or disturbance from Fengyun.

They believed this situation arose either because the attackers were as strong as Fengyun, Fengyun was tied up, leaving Fengyun no chance to rescue them.

Or perhaps...

Fengyun is dead!

Over the years they've spent in Hell, the most fundamental lesson they've learned is that people die when they're killed, whether they're ordinary Lower God or Five-Star Fiend; no one is immune to death.

The Seven-star Demon are no exception!

In addition, given that the attack method of the Yellow Sand Castle was something they had never seen before, and the fact that Lin Lei and Beibei hadn't noticed anything significant for so long, they couldn't help but worry that Fengyun might really be doomed.

The thought of this terrifying possibility immediately prompted Lin Lei to telepathically communicate with Beibei: "Beibei, pinpoint my location, break down the wall and come find me!"

Having said that, Lin Lei, in his Dragonization form, slashed at the wall in front of him with one claw.

Hiss~ Boom~

With Lin Lei's claw strike, the yellow sand wall in front of him was torn open like a rag.

Lin Lei's eyes lit up, and he instantly passed through the wall to the other side.

Seeing this through the connection between their souls, Beibei's eyes lit up, and with a swipe of its claw, it also left a large gash.

After passing through the wall and getting a step closer to Lin Lei, he excitedly said, "Boss, I was just thinking that if Brother Yun could handle the owner of this castle, we probably wouldn't be able to destroy it."

"But I didn't expect the strength to be so-so!"

Lin Lei shook his head and said, "Beibei, don't underestimate this castle."

"Although destroying the walls here is nothing to us, this Yellow Sand Castle is actually something that even Brother Yun probably can't do anything about."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no unusual activity until now."

"So I guess the reason we were able to destroy individual walls so easily is probably because the castle covers a large area, so the strength of individual walls is weaker."

"And have you noticed that the walls we damage will automatically repair themselves? If we really wanted to escape the castle by destroying the walls, we would probably work ourselves to death."

In the short time they exchanged words, Lin Lei and Beibei destroyed several more walls, and they were not far from meeting up.

"Jerry, move that woman between these two."
