In the Biyou Palace, the Primordial Qilin was overjoyed. With Tongtian Cult Master's body and his own powerful divine soul, the might unleashed was no less than that of the original Tongtian Cult Master, truly making him a force few could contend with.
Lu Fan's clone stood nearby, marveling. This was an entirely different concept from being within Tongtian Cult Master's body himself. He felt like a small colt pulling a cart, while this was a locomotive.
"Hoo..." Lu Fan, in his room, suddenly let out a long sigh. He could sense the general situation in the Biyou Palace from his clone. The Primordial Qilin's might would surely buy him some time.
"Lu Fan, what's wrong?" Wang Yan, standing beside him, asked upon seeing his expression.
"Nothing!" Lu Fan glanced at Wang Yan, suddenly finding this young woman increasingly captivating. Despite having a son, her figure, her looks, her demeanor...
"What are you looking at? Are you craving something again? You greedy cat!" Wang Yan shot Lu Fan a look, sensing something from his gaze.
"Oh! You little rascal... Our son is still playing outside!" Wang Yan suddenly exclaimed.
...
Zhao Rongrong, holding her grandson's hand, happened to arrive at Lu Fan's doorway. Hearing the sounds from within, she quickly scooped up her grandson, Lu Chenglong, and began to walk away.
"Grandma... I want to find... Mama!" Lu Chenglong said reluctantly in a childish voice.
"Be good, my grandson! Grandma will take you to catch small fish, and we'll nourish your dad tonight!" Zhao Rongrong said hurriedly.
...
In a flash, half a month passed. In Lu Fan's room, the little chick had grown to the size of a basketball, its body now covered in feathers that radiated a seven-colored glow.
Wang Yan was stunned. Lu Fan hadn't lied to her. This was no ordinary chick; how could a chick possess such magnificent feathers? This was clearly a phoenix!
Lu Fan had been refining pills and talismans these past few days. The phoenix's appetite grew daily, requiring several pills and half a bottle of spirit liquid each day.
"Wang Yan! I'm entrusting the household to you." Lu Fan handed some pills and spirit liquid to Wang Yan and said.
"You're leaving?" Wang Yan asked, a hint of reluctance in her voice.
"Yes! Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Lu Fan gave Wang Yan a hug, then quietly left the villa.
...
Kunlun Mountain, Qilin Cliff. Lu Fan, Li Jingjing, and Zhan Tai Ruomei reappeared within the Soul Locking Purgatory.
"Kid! You've already left, why are you back?" the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons shouted at Lu Fan, clearly exasperated. Was this kid mentally challenged? Was this place so fun? If Yuanshi Tianzun discovered this, they might never be able to leave.
"I'm here to create an opportunity for you to leave! Whether you can escape depends on your luck." As Lu Fan spoke, he took out dozens of divine talismans and, with a wave of his hand, sent them flying. They scattered across dozens of locations within the Soul Locking Purgatory.
"These are divine talismans? How did you obtain them?" the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons asked, astonished.
"Of course, I refined them! Although their power is quite weak. But precisely because of that, Yuanshi Tianzun won't discover them. They will slowly weaken the seals on your bodies. However, Yuanshi Tianzun has devoured a lot of your divine soul energy. I've left some immortal herbs for you, which might be of some help. As for whether you can break free, that depends on yourselves." After speaking, Lu Fan prepared to leave with Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruomei.
"Little brother! Even if our divine souls are freed, without powerful physical bodies, it will be difficult for us to contend with the Divine Clan. Could you please help us to the end and go to the Land of Buried Demons!" the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly said.
"What is the Land of Buried Demons?" Lu Fan asked abruptly.
"This world has two major forbidden zones: one is the Burial of Gods, and the other is the Burial of Demons. That is where the Divine Clan and our physical bodies are sealed. Gods and Demons are primordial beings from the early stages of Hongmeng. Although their bodies may be shattered, they are absolutely incorruptible.
During the war between Gods and Demons, for every person we lost, we would retrieve their physical body and seal it in the Land of Buried Demons. If you can go to that place and find our physical bodies, we might still have the strength to fight Yuanshi Tianzun," the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons said urgently.
"Then how can we get to the Land of Buried Demons?" Lu Fan's eyes lit up as he quickly asked.
"Alas! When the Demon Clan was destroyed, all three thousand Great Demon Kings were trapped here. If you want to go to the Land of Buried Demons, you might have to seek the path from the Demon Race." The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons shook his head slightly.
"The Demon Race?" Lu Fan's mind instantly recalled Liu Ruyan. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright! If I can go, I will do my utmost to help you find your physical bodies."
The three of them left Kunlun Mountain.
Two days later, the three appeared in the Extreme Cold Land.
Clang, clang, clang... From a distance, the three heard the sound of weapons clashing.
"Quickly!" Lu Fan exclaimed, a slight shock in his voice. It seemed Liu Ruyan had encountered trouble again.
Whoosh, whoosh... Three figures rapidly sprinted towards the direction of the Ice Cave.
At the entrance of the Ice Cave, Liu Ruyan and Ling'er were fighting against four or five great demon beasts.
"Capture them alive!" Lu Fan shouted, his figure instantly lunging towards a massive black bear demon.
Boom... A punch landed on the black bear's abdomen. Hoo... The massive black bear was instantly sent flying. However, before the black bear could hit the ground, it was struck by another punch, sending it flying up again.
Boom... Boom... Lu Fan's fists continuously hammered the black bear's abdomen. The black bear, flying uncontrollably in the air, was soon reduced to a puddle of mud and fell to the ground, motionless.
At the same time, Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruomei had also subdued the other two demon wolves and a demon leopard. The remaining two-headed snake demon was locked in a fierce battle with Ling'er.
"Xiao Fan!" Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing Lu Fan. She lunged towards him.
"Ruyan!" Lu Fan directly pulled Liu Ruyan into his embrace.
"Snow Master! Can you two wait to get lovey-dovey? I can barely hold on," Ling'er shouted indignantly. She had never seen such people. Here they were, fighting for their lives, and over there, they were being mushy. Hmph!
"Master! Mistress! Please continue!!" Zhan Tai Ruomei suddenly flicked her hand, and a golden bell flew out. Boom... The two-headed snake was struck, its body instantly went limp, and it curled up on the ground.
Slap... Ling'er seized the opportunity and grabbed the two-headed snake by its vital spot. The two-headed snake immediately dared not move.
