The Monster Ancestors around felt slightly more at ease. Although Lin Yi was not in opposition to the Serpent Clan, he also would not take charge of the Serpent Clan. With that being the case, even if the old Serpent had many tricks up his sleeve, it couldn’t stir up any trouble.

“I hope that Dragon friend Lin Yi has gained something fruitful during your trial among the Demon Tribe,” the Golden Peng Clan’s Monster Ancestor finally said with a smile and a blessing.

“Thank you, seniors. I will remember this in my heart. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave now,” said Lin Yi as he clasped his fists.

The Monster Ancestors nodded slightly, merely standing up and waving their hands without escorting Lin Yi out. No matter how you looked at it, they were Tribulation Demon Patriarchs and it was impossible for them to personally see off a junior of the Refining Void Realm, even if that junior was a demon from the Immortal Realm.

As he stepped outside, Lin Yi released Zhi Ling. On his way here, he had kept Zhi Ling in the Spirit Pet Column. This seemingly simple action, in the eyes of the Monster Ancestors, was extraordinary.

Because these Monster Ancestors simply could not perceive how Lin Yi had put Zhi Ling away; they were bound to have many speculations.

Sure enough, the Monster Ancestors also saw Lin Yi release the descendant of the Vermilion Bird outside the gateway, showing surprise on their faces. The Golden Peng Monster Ancestor was the first to ask, “Fellow friends, have any of you sensed through what means this Long Ao managed to put away and release his Spirit Pet?”

“Unable to detect it. My Rat Clan’s sensing abilities are the strongest, yet I could not detect any fluctuations from this method, just like his ability to teleport instantaneously,” muttered the Rat Clan’s Monster Ancestor with a shake of his head, full of puzzlement.

The Monster Ancestors of the Serpent Clan and the Wolf Clan also shook their heads, indicating they could not sense anything either.

“As expected of the Golden Serpent who descended from the Immortal Realm, some methods are completely beyond our comprehension,” the Golden Peng Clan’s Monster Ancestor remarked with emotion. Just being able to enter the Spirit Demon-Slaying City silently, with the identity of a demon, was something they could not achieve.

The Rat Clan’s Monster Ancestor spoke with a glimmer of hope, “Let’s hope that we will have an opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm in the future, or rather, like the Humans and Demonkind of the Lower Realm, we can use Long Ao’s passage to sneak back into the Immortal Realm.”

Crossing Tribulation was no easy task. In the Spirit Profound Realm, whether it was the Human race or the Demon Tribe, even the Demon race, they all had to face Heavenly Tribulation every three thousand years. The tribulation faced by those in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was even more terrifying than the ones every three thousand years, almost a matter of life and death.

Out of ten of their ancestors who attempted to ascend, finding even one who managed was considered incredibly rare.

If they could sneak into the Immortal Realm first and make use of the Immortal Spirit Qi or the means of the Immortal Demons, perhaps they could more easily pass their tribulation.

“Yes, that’s our last resort,” the other Monster Ancestors nodded, agreeing. Even if they managed to sneak in and still failed to pass the tribulation, they would have seen the Immortal Realm, and thus their lives would be without regret.

This was also one of the important reasons why they were willing to show respect to this Golden Serpent and establish a good relationship.

Only the Monster Ancestor of the Serpent Clan remained silent, for his life span was almost at its end and he could not wait for that day to come. If only Long Ao had come earlier.

Lin Yi controlled his sword and left the Demon Saint Palace. At that moment, several figures in mid-air blocked his way. Using his Eye of Emptiness, he looked and smiled faintly. It was some of the Serpents he had seen earlier in the Demon Saint Palace, among them a few from the Refining Void Realm and one from the Fusion stage.

He looked at them, expressionless, and said, “You are blocking my path. What is your intention?”

A Refining Void Realm Serpent hurriedly clasped his fists and said, “Dragon friend Lin Yi, please don’t misunderstand. We merely wish to express our respect for you. Your confrontation with the Fox Tribe’s Demon Ancestor in the Demon Saint Palace was incredibly admirable.”

“Yes, indeed, it has been a long time since we felt so exhilarated. Dragon friend Lin Yi, we also want to thank you for showing us such a thrilling performance.”

The Fusion Serpent bowed to Lin Yi with clasped fists and said slowly, “Dragon friend Lin Yi, we also wished to save that White Serpent, but unfortunately, our lineage holds little power within the Serpent Clan. We could only watch as events unfolded. Today’s incident has given us hope for the future of the Serpent Clan.”

Lin Yi shook his head, smiling faintly, and responded, “I’m sorry, but I’m not the hope of your Serpent Clan and have no interest in participating in Demon Tribe disputes. Farewell.”

He did not wish to get involved in the internal strife of the Demon Tribe for the time being, preferring instead to fleece them first; besides, with his current abilities, even if he were to take control of the Serpent Clan, he wouldn’t be able to cause any significant upheaval.

Moreover, the internal discord within the Demon Tribe would only temporarily disrupt their plans to attack the Humans, rather than causing them to completely abandon their agenda.

With his current strength, should he truly throw the Demon Tribe into chaos as a member of the Serpent Clan, it’s likely that the several Tribulation Demon Ancestors would not hesitate to suppress him.

After saying this, Lin Yi left on his sword, returning to the Cave Mansion within the Golden Peng Clan Region, where White Painting was already waiting.

He also issued Cave Mansion Jade Plates to several Monster Beasts within the mansion, allowing them free access through the Cave Mansion Formation, albeit with no entry to the main hall.

“Senior, I thank you for your life-saving grace and for upholding justice on my behalf,” White Painting bowed deeply to Lin Yi with clasped fists.

Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively, “No need for formality, you are a descendant of our Dragon Clan, and it’s natural that I could not stand by and watch you being humiliated like that.”

White Painting bowed again with fists clasped, deeply moved. She shared no blood or deep connection with this senior Long Ao, and yet, he had risked danger to rescue her merely because they were both of the Serpent Clan, giving her a sense of his heroic character.

She did not speak further words of thanks, but instead said firmly, “Senior, should you need anything in the future, just command me.”

“If there’s anything, I’ll let you know. For now, concentrate on your cultivation,” Lin Yi nodded. What could he need? He was set to spend the coming lengthy period of time milking those Demon Ancestors and Great Demons of the Integration Stage for all they were worth.

Ever since White Painting ascended, she had never had the chance to cultivate, her demonic power nearly depleted. Under the torment of those Demons, she had wasted more than five hundred years in vain.

“Yes, Senior,” White Painting nodded heavily, aware that she needed to focus on cultivation to make up for the over five hundred wasted years as much as possible.

After saying goodbye to White Painting, Lin Yi returned to the interior of the Cave Mansion. It was not yet the right time for White Painting’s second awakening. In the future, he would consider whether to reveal his true identity or to meet her as his original Human self by making some arrangements.

Of course, there was another matter that needed his attention now: to gather intelligence on whether Human Ascenders from the Lower Realm were within the Demon Tribe.

Around Demon City, the Five Major Demon Clans provided protection, many of whom were at the Body Fusion Realm, but he wasn’t sure about other places.

If the Demon Tribe intended to hunt these Human Ascenders, they would surely send Refining Void and even Great Demons of Integration Stage to patrol the routes leading to the Human territories.

He had previously speculated that if some Ascenders accidentally arrived in the Demon Tribe area due to spatial turbulence, there was a good chance they hadn’t been captured yet; after all, considering the Demon Tribe’s nature of not sparing even Spiritual Pets of their own kind, they certainly wouldn’t let these Human Ascenders off the hook either.

To his knowledge, in the last few centuries, no Human Ascenders had been brought to Spirit City for execution, but it was also possible that no Human Ascenders had appeared in the Demon Tribe Area at all.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry about this matter, as even if the Demon Tribe captured Ascenders who had fallen into this area by accident, they would bring them to Demon City and wait for the Demon Ancestors’ orders, which meant they would unlikely make any moves on their own.

If they really arrived in Demon City, things would actually become simpler for him. He could find some pretext to rescue these Human Cultivators, considering he had previously spent time traveling among the Human race, he could make it plausible.

He himself hoped that the familiar individuals from Heng Yuan World would ascend, but currently, there was no information within the Human realms, he couldn’t probe into the Demon race, leaving only the Demon Tribe as his hope.

Lin Yi set aside these thoughts for the moment and began to ponder his fleece-plucking plan. Being new to the Demon Tribe, he certainly had to seek guidance from the Demon Ancestors daily, taking advantage of the novelty to learn from them for as long as possible.

Moreover, while interacting with these Demon Ancestors, he might also come across information about Ascenders.
