The Second Heaven.
Inside a cave abode.
The Golden-Maned Lion and Black Panther lay inside, resting.
In the surrounding mountain forests were over a dozen Spirit Transformation Realm Demon Gods and more than a hundred Demon Kings.
These Demon Gods and Demon Kings were all underlings the two had subdued.
Ever since Lin Fei had left with the Nine-Headed Demon Saint and entered the Secret Realm all those years ago, there had been no news of him.
The Golden-Maned Lion and Black Panther had felt something was suspicious.
So they had returned to the Second Heaven, found a mountain, and made themselves its rulers, living carefree, comfortable lives.

Lin Fei's Spirit Body appeared above the cave, and he could not help shaking his head with a smile.

Just then.
Some Demon Gods and Demon Kings lurking in the mountain forests spotted Lin Fei.
"A human cultivator!"
"I can't discern his aura. He's probably a Demon God Realm expert, or even a Void Insight Realm one."
"Report to our two kings at once!"
Upon receiving their underlings' report, the Golden-Maned Lion and Black Panther were both startled.
Despite their cultivation, they had not sensed the human cultivator's arrival near their cave abode.
They hurriedly extended their primordial spirit power to investigate.
"Is that... that human cultivator?"
"He's not dead. Did he come here specifically to find us?"
The Golden-Maned Lion and Black Panther exchanged a glance, their eyes holding a trace of hesitation alongside their shock.
Back then, they had only acknowledged Lin Fei as their master out of fear of his strength, with no
