In the gloomy world, Demonic Qi lingered, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
In a large hall, several figures shrouded in black fog sat upright.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, one of the figures trembled violently, and the black fog around it gradually became illusory.
"Cough, cough!"
Violent coughing sounds were heard, and a ball of black blood was spat out from the black fog.
In an instant, its aura became much weaker.
"What's going on?"
"Xue Li Mo, what's wrong with you?"
In the hall, several old and hoarse voices sounded.
"Damn it, someone broke my Blood Demon Pagoda Formation!"
"How is that possible?
The Guardian Clan has always been in a state of seclusion, how can others enter the barrier? "
"Moreover, as far as we know, there are no more Heavenly Gods in the Nine States. The remaining Peak True Gods are almost all under our control.
Even if someone accidentally enters the barrier, how can they break your formation? "
"There's a problem!
There's definitely a problem!
Everyone, be careful. Perhaps there's a special situation in the Nine States! "
"If this doesn't work, go into hibernation again and wait for the Demon Lord to descend!"
"Yes!"
…
Ashcloud State, Guardian Clan.
Looking at the Spatial Crack in front of them, Lin Ye and Fan Shijie's faces were ashen, and they did not say a word.
"Hiss … there's indeed a problem with the seal of the Forgotten Land!"
"Sir, can you burst open this Spatial Crack?
Seal it up again? "
Fan Shijie asked.
"Seal it again?"
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Don't we need to enter the Forgotten Land to investigate?"
"Phew, there's nothing in the Forgotten Land, but the Demons slaughtered the Guardian Clan and opened a passage. There must be something wrong!"
"This …"
Fan Shijie could not help but hesitate.
"Forget it, just seal it. I don't have much time anyway!"
Touching his nose, Lin Ye suddenly remembered the problem of time, and did not think too much about it. With a raise of his hand, the power of his Divine Sense instantly turned into a sharp blade, sweeping across the Spatial Crack.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound rang out as the crack in space crumbled and turned into countless fragments.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye decided to use the power of Divine Sense to form a formation to seal off the spatial tunnel.
Since these Demons had been hiding in this world for so long, they must have a deep understanding of Divine Runes.
If he used divine inscriptions to seal it, it would inevitably be broken.
The power of spiritual sense was different. To Demons, it was a completely new power. It would take at least a few years to crack it.
During that time, Lin Ye could fight for more opportunities to become stronger in the Divine Land.
After sealing the passage, Lin Ye and Fan Shijie carefully checked the space inside the barrier again. After confirming that there were no traces of survivors or Demons, they rushed out of the barrier.
Xu Fuwu and Tian Shuang were still waiting outside the barrier. When they saw Lin Ye and Tian Shuang, they sighed in relief.
"You came out so quickly. Did anything happen?"
Xu Fuwu grinned.
However, Fan Shijie smiled bitterly when he heard that.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Xu Fuwu and Tian Shuang felt a chill in their hearts. They immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"The Protectors were slaughtered. Not a single one was left alive!"
Lin Ye said in a low voice, "Moreover, it's very likely that it was the Demons who did it!
They even entered the Forgotten Land! "
"What?
They entered the Forgotten Land? "
Hearing this, Xu Fuwu could not help but worry. "Then my people …"
Although it could be said that Xu Fuwu abandoned his own clansmen and chose to follow Lin Ye out of the Forgotten Land, at least he could ensure the safety of his clansmen. He also left behind many bone patterns and precious techniques, enough for them to continue to rule over the entire Forgotten Land.
However, if the Demons entered the Forgotten Land, with their strength and style, they would probably slaughter everyone in the Forgotten Land!
"It's hard to say."
Lin Ye glanced at Xu Fuwu and asked in a low voice, "You want to go back first?"
"Think carefully. If you go back, the power of the Divine Runes in your body might dissipate, and your cultivation level might drop.
Moreover, you won't be a match for them! "
Hearing this, Xu Fuwu could not help but smile bitterly.
Lin Ye's words indicated that he would not return to the Forgotten Land with him. Thus, Xu Fuwu could only take back his unrealistic thoughts.
If Lin Ye did not follow him back, it would be useless even if he went back.
Those Demons were at least at the Heavenly God Realm. Would he go back to die?
"I hope that the seal of the Forgotten Land can help you get rid of them …"
Sighing inwardly, Xu Fuwu shook his head and said, "No, sir. Since I've decided to follow you, I don't care about anything else!"
"Not bad."
Nodding slightly, Lin Ye was quite satisfied with Xu Fuwu's reaction. Then, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry. The Forgotten Land has existed for so long and was created by the so-called Heavenly Gods. There must be many secrets.
If the Demons want to slaughter the entire Forgotten Land, it will be very difficult for them. "
"Cultivate well. When you reach the Nine Heavens, you might be able to contact the Heavenly Gods who created the Forgotten Land and save your people."
"Thank you, sir!"
Xu Fuwu hurriedly bowed. He was also very excited.
Waving his hand, Lin Ye gestured for Xu Fuwu to get up. Then, he turned to Fan Shijie and said calmly, "Fan Shijie, do you want to return to Violet Rainbow Island first?"
"He's leaving?"
Hearing this, Xu Fuwu was slightly surprised. He looked at Fan Shijie curiously. He did not understand why Fan Shijie would give up on following Lin Ye.
"Sir, I have to go back!"
After pondering for a moment, Fan Shijie gritted his teeth and said, "I can't forget my responsibility as a Guardian. I have to go back and guard the passage!"
"That's good."
Rubbing his nose, Lin Ye said in a low voice, "You've been following me for a while. I won't leave you alone."
"These are the 99 Divine Runes. When you encounter danger, you can activate them!
As long as you don't meet someone who has surpassed the Heavenly God Realm, they can protect you! "
"If you can understand some of the Divine Runes, you'll be able to unleash more power. Even suppressing those Demons won't be a problem."
With that, Lin Ye waved his right hand and the 99 Divine Runes landed on Fan Shijie's body.
In an instant, Fan Shijie's body trembled. He felt that his body was filled with power. He could not help but clench his fists. He was extremely grateful.
Although Lin Ye could not go back with him, he was very grateful that he could support him. At least, he could ensure the safety of Violet Rainbow Island and keep the seal intact!
"Sir, I will remember this kindness in my heart!
Goodbye! "
After taking a good look at Lin Ye, Fan Shijie's body flashed and he sped off into the distance.
He did not dare to stay any longer. Otherwise, he would most likely follow Lin Ye and forget his other responsibilities!
