Chapter 668: Chapter 668 Face Turns Incredibly Weird

“Mm!” Lin Yi nodded again.

After chatting for a while, Xuanyuan Yuqing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Lin Yi, did you encounter the demon beast while you were out gaining experience? And, did you come across the Demon Beast King?”

Lin Yi shook his head upon hearing this and said, “It wasn’t me who encountered it; I found you in a cave.”

“A cave? What cave? I don’t remember us ever going to any cave!” Xuanyuan Yuqing said with confusion.

“That cave, it must have been where the Demon Beast King was hiding,” Lin Yi said.

“So it was the lair of the Demon Beast King, no wonder I couldn’t find that place.”

“I still don’t know, how exactly did you run into the Demon Beast King, and what was its strength?” Xuanyuan Yuqing continued to press.

She really didn’t believe that the Demon Beast King would arbitrarily pick on her, a human.

Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, then said, “The strength of the Demon Beast King should be at the peak of the Holy Level.”

“Holy Level peak?! You actually fought with a Holy Level peak?” Xuanyuan Yuqing exclaimed.

Lin Yi nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, that’s why I ran away, but in the end I was almost killed by the Demon Beast King in pursuit. Luckily, I had some good fortune and was rescued by an elder, who even sent the elder back, and together they managed to slay the Demon Beast King!”

“So that’s what happened!” Xuanyuan Yuqing suddenly realized after hearing Lin Yi’s recount of the Demon Beast King’s deeds.

That’s when both of them fell silent.

“Right, how did you turn into a fox again?” Xuanyuan Yuqing suddenly thought of an important matter and asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi gave a bitter smile upon hearing this and said, “Actually, this fox isn’t just any ordinary fox. It is a kind of demon beast, an extremely rare one at that. It possesses strong energy within its body, making it an excellent demon beast for cultivation!”

“But then I ran into the Demon Beast King, and my physique was somewhat similar to that of the fox’s. So, we ended up fighting together. My strength wasn’t enough to contend with the Demon Beast King, so I had to flee. There was nothing I could do; who made me physically weak?”

Listening to Lin Yi’s explanation, Xuanyuan Yuqing’s expression became incredibly strange. She looked at Lin Yi and asked, “Since you have some similarities with the Demon Beast King, your lineage must be quite noble, right? Does your clan’s lineage share some similarities with that of the Fox clan?”

“Indeed, it is so,” Lin Yi admitted, “The degree to which my lineage is close to that of the Fox clan is probably due to our ancestor. This is because my father is the king of the Fox clan!”

“Ah! The king of the Fox clan?” Xuanyuan Yuqing was suddenly stunned.

The king of the Fox clan!

Xuanyuan Yuqing held a pivotal position within the Xuanyuan Clan and could be considered a princess of the clan. She had been exposed to various secrets of the clan since childhood, yet she was not clear about the deeds of the Fox clan, and she had absolutely no impression of the king of the Fox clan!

But now, Lin Yi was telling her that she herself was the king of the Fox clan!

“How could this be?” Xuanyuan Yuqing whispered to herself.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“It’s nothing, nothing,” Xuanyuan Yuqing waved her hand and said.

“Oh,” Lin Yi nodded, not speaking any further.

“Don’t worry about my lack of strength. I will improve my power as soon as possible and then come back for you. I hope you can help me during this time to enhance my strength,” Xuanyuan Yuqing said.

Lin Yi agreed without a second thought, “Of course.”

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yuqing revealed a radiant smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then sank into silence. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

“Lin Yi, are you still in Demon City?” Xuanyuan Yuqing asked.

“No, I’ve left Demon City already. I want to go back to our Lin Family for a visit,” Lin Yi replied.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yuqing asked with some confusion, “Did something happen to the Lin Family?”

“Yes,” Lin Yi nodded and briefly explained the situation of the Lin Family. After listening, Xuanyuan Yuqing couldn’t help but sigh, “So that’s what happened. No wonder you’ve been disappearing all this time. I thought you were avoiding something, but it turns out there was such an issue.”

“Yes, our Lin Family is in a very dangerous situation right now. I want to go back and see if I can help in any way,” Lin Yi said.

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Xuanyuan Yuqing hesitated.

“Don’t worry, my father and a few elders are still holding fort at the Lin Family. It should be fine,” Lin Yi assured, “Besides, I want to know what exactly happened. Could it be that someone is taking advantage of our plight to take over the Lin Family?”

“That doesn’t seem likely,” Xuanyuan Yuqing shook her head and objected.

“Not likely? Why would that be?” Lin Yi asked, bewildered.

“Because I’ve just awakened from the inheritance of the Demon Emperor, and my father has awakened too. They are aware of everything, including the danger we are currently facing, so you don’t need to worry,” Xuanyuan Yuqing said.

“Oh, I see,” Lin Yi nodded, no longer speaking.

Afterward, the two fell into silence.

Before he knew it, Lin Yi had already returned to the entrance of his own cave dwelling, while Xuanyuan Yuqing also returned to hers.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been back. I really miss it. Regardless, let’s see what’s going on with the family first,” Lin Yi murmured to himself, then walked into his cave dwelling.

Inside the cave dwelling, Lin Ao and the others had already returned.

Seeing everyone gathered there, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why have you all come back so early?”

“Because of you!” Lin Ao gave Lin Yi a glare, “Do you even know how many days you’ve been away? We’ve been almost beside ourselves with worry!”

Lin Yi scratched his head and said, “Well, I was in the midst of breaking through in seclusion, so I didn’t notice what was happening outside. I’ve now successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. I didn’t intend to be away for so long; I just didn’t expect that my seclusion would last this much time, causing you all to worry.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Lin Ao was a bit shocked and exclaimed, “You’ve already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage?!”

“Yes,” Lin Yi nodded and said.

“You actually managed to advance from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in such a short time. Isn’t the speed of your strength increase a bit too exaggerated?” Lin Ao said.

Lin Yi gave a bitter smile and said, “I didn’t want it this way either, but my path in immortal cultivation has always been challenging, so the improvement of my cultivation tends to slow down.”

After speaking, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel emotional. If he had such resources back in Lingxu Mountain Range, his cultivation speed would definitely be faster, and perhaps he would have reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage by now.

However, all of that was mere fantasy. In this world, there is no Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Lin Yi didn’t know how far he had walked on the path of immortal cultivation, but he had never given up,

“Sigh…” Lin Ao sighed and said no more.

Seeing Lin Yi like this made everyone feel somewhat sad.

“Lin Yi, have you collected all the items left behind by the Demon Emperor this time?” Lin Ao asked.

Lin Yi nodded in response, “Yes.”

“Good, bring them out for us to take a look,” Lin Ao said.

“Yes,” Lin Yi nodded, then handed over a Storage Ring.
