Chapter 72: We’ll Never Turn Our Backs

(Within the screen in the sky)

Lin Yan’s figure swayed, and his face flushed. Even though his vision turned hazy, deep inside, he was wide awake.

With a thought, he could get rid of this dizziness. However, for a moment, he hesitated.

The feeling of dizziness made him forget his sorrow and anxiety.

Lin Yan understood why many mortals liked to drink both at times of happiness and sadness.

Getting drunk could reduce the sorrow and take one’s mind off the troubles.

Moreover, this kind of feeling of acting on instinct was indeed quite addictive.

…

At this moment, Teng Gang, Zhuo Yang, and others, who were also drinking happily, began to stagger.

Suddenly, Zhuo Yang chuckled and said, “We’ve been in the same Devil Hunting Squad for so long, so it’s kind of fate. How about we make a vow to be sworn brothers like those mortals?”

“Sure. Let’s make a vow like the mortals… We will be brothers from now on, sharing life and death together.” Teng Gang and the other two men agreed.

However, only Zhao Ling’er was dissatisfied and said, “Hey, only brothers, no sisters? Am I Zhao Ling’er not a Devil Hunting Squad member?”

The men looked at Zhao Ling’er, smiled, and said apologetically, “Of course, we won’t forget about Young Sister Ling’er.”

Only then did Zhao Ling’er smile, but her eyes skewed to Lin Yan on the side and whispered, “What about the captain?”

Despite still being in a drunken state and fooling around, when the three men heard the word “Captain,” they subconsciously stirred and almost woke up.

The Captain was a ruthless person who exterminated immortals in the Sage Realm. So, when facing Lin Yan, even Teng Gang, who had already reached the Sage realm, was somewhat frightened.

Teng Gang hesitantly said, “You shouldn’t be fooling with the captain.”

Zhao Ling’er waved her hand and said with a playful smile, “Captain’s personality is actually quite good. If he becomes our big brother, we will be happy in the future.”

After saying that, Zhao Ling’er ran to Lin Yan’s in a few steps and dragged Lin Yan into their conversation, “Captain, will you make a vow with us?”

The dizzy Lin Yan, surprisingly, nodded his head, “Sure.”

Seeing Lin Yan agree, Zhao Ling’er excitedly pulled Lin Yan and muttered, “Under heaven and earth, we vow to be sworn brothers and sisters. We’d never turn our backs in the future…”

…

“Miss Ling’er made a miscalculation this time. Well, she never would have thought that this sworn brother of hers would harm her into this state later, right?”

“Now, my suspicion was that Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian, both of them, were secretly killed by the Heavenly Emperor.”

“…Under heaven and earth, never turn your back in the future, huh?…I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor was embarrassed later when he remembered vowing like the mortals.” Someone snorted.

Many people next to Lin Feng likewise laughed and shook their heads.

Even Lin Feng burst into laughter, “At that time, the Heavenly Emperor and Teng Gang vowed, they were actually in a drunken state. I’m afraid that he didn’t treat Elder Brother Teng Gang and Miss Ling’er as brothers and sisters at all in his heart, so he became so ruthless later.”

Saying so, he couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Yanran next to him and quietly added, “What’s more, later, the Heavenly Emperor was so ruthless to Yanran, whom he brought up with his own hands. Not to mention Brother Teng Gang and Miss Ling’er’s vow.”

Meanwhile, watching the scene of Lin Yan and others making a vow in a drunken state on the screen, the Lingxuan continent’s residents felt like child’s play and didn’t take it seriously.

…

“Under heaven and earth, never turn your back in the future…” Zhao Ling’er’s remnant soul began to mutter these words, causing her remnant soul to flicker for a while and become unstable, almost completely dissipating.

Teng Gang hurried to stabilize Zhao Ling’er’s remnant soul and shouted, “Young sister, it’s not that we’re sorry for what we did to the Heavenly Emperor; it’s him who must be. You have to stabilize your heart and mind, and hold on.”

Thankfully, Zhao Ling’er’s remnant soul, after a flash, actually became stable and didn’t dissipate.

Seeing this, Teng Gang heaved a sigh of relief.

Raising his head again, he looked at the screen in the sky.

…

(Within the screen in the sky)

Lin Yan, Zhao Ling’er, and the other three people had finished bowing to heaven and earth and even started to call each other brother and sister.

In fact, among the few of them, Lin Yan’s age was the youngest, but Teng Gang and others insisted on calling Lin Yan their big brother.

Naturally, it needed no further explanation.

Well, who in their right minds would dare to address such a vicious person who destroyed Six Great Demon Kingdoms in one day as their younger brother?

Lin Yan was the big brother, Teng Gang was the second brother, Zhuo Yang was the third, Xu Jingtian was the fourth, and Zhao Ling’er was the Youngest Sister.

…

The following day, Lin Yan woke up from his drunken state and was stunned to hear them calling him big brother.

But in the end, he silently accepted.

Big brother, he hadn’t heard this word for many years.

In the beginning, Sister Xiao Yanran called him this way when she was around.

In the days after that, their Devil Hunting Squad, as in the past, continued to start patrolling the Lingxuan Continent. And with their additional layer of bonded brother-sister relationship, they naturally grew closer.

Several years passed in a flash.

Today, Lin Yan went to the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom alone.

The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was now protected by the Ten Thousand Demons Great Formation Array.

Thus, safety wasn’t a problem.

Moreover, there were no more Six Demon Kingdoms, and as the only Demon Kingdom in the Lingxuan Continent, its development momentum was unstoppable.

What surprised Lin Yan even more was that in these years, Xiao Bai, who had turned into a phoenix, actually made a breakthrough and reached the immortal realm.

Even Lin Yan couldn’t compare to her cultivation speed.

With an immortal sitting on the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom’s throne, it was also considered that her position had been stabilized and they would no longer have to worry about being exterminated at any time.

But unfortunately, even if Xiao Bai’s cultivation had a breakthrough into Immortal Realm, her memory still hasn’t recovered.

Lin Yan stood outside the Ten Thousand Demons Country, silently looking at a lively Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

…

(On Lingxuan Continent)

The Demon Queen, Ni Huang, trapped inside the immortal porcelain vase, felt pained seeing the screen above her head.

“Big Stone….”

Boom!

A blazing flame erupted from her body and began to scorch the porcelain vase that trapped her.

But unfortunately, the porcelain vase was, after all, an immortal weapon, and even she couldn’t get out of it for a while.

But she had this crazy expression that frightened the surrounding crowd.

“No way, if the Demon Queen comes out, she will take revenge for the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Young warrior Lin Feng, we should just kill the Demon Queen, leaving her is a scourge ah….”

“If the Demon Queen goes crazy, none of us will be able to live in peace in the future.”

The muttering voices of everyone reached Lin Feng’s ears. However, it made his face difficult as well.

If it were anyone else, he would have absolutely no hesitation in exterminating.

But the Demon Queen… was just too beautiful.

Looking at the crazy Demon Queen, Lin Feng said, “Everyone, don’t worry. After the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul completely disappears, I’ll take the Demon Queen and ask for the blessings from the five ancient gods. Those Ancient Gods will definitely have a way to save the fallen Demon Queen.”

“That is all that can be done.”

With Lin Feng’s assurance, the crowd was much more at ease.

Then, Lin Feng waved his hand, and another immortal weapon covered that immortal weapon porcelain vase lest the Demon Queen broke this immortal weapon porcelain vase.

This number of immortal weapons made many people envious.

…

(Within The Screen In The Sky)

Lin Yan stayed in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom for two days and then returned.

But what he didn’t expect was that, soon after his arrival, he would see the members of the Devil Hunting Squad and the Heavenly Emperor in the temporary quarters of their “Zhenzi Squad” at this moment.

And it seemed like Teng Gang, Zhao Ling’er, and others’ power were sealed, and their figures were on the ground.

Seeing Lin Yan return, the former Heavenly Emperor, with an ugly face, was the first to welcome him, “Lin Yan, did any of your squad members act abnormal recently?”

Abnormal behavior?

Lin Yan looked at the former Heavenly Emperor and the others suspiciously.

After scanning the place, Lin Yan’s face sank, “What’s going on? Why are you arresting all my men?”

An immortal beside the former Heavenly Emperor replied angrily, “Lin Yan, do you really not know that the people under you, Teng Gang, secretly colluded with the Extraterrestrial devils, tricked a Devil Hunting Squad under me into a desperate situation and pitted them all?”

This immortal’s tone was sorrowful.

His breath was uneven, and he was sad to the extreme.

His body trembled as he continued, “The Devil Hunting Squad under me has always been the strongest Devil Hunting Squad in the Heavenly Palace with seven Saints. But this time, they were all wiped out because Teng Gang and others of your squad gave
