Zi Linling’s expression was solemn, devoid of any hint of jest.
She had discovered that all three seals were reliant on the dark power of the Divine Demon Forest.
Therefore, to reinforce the seals here, she had to utilize the dark power from the Dark Space.
However, the dark power of the Dark Space was incredibly potent, especially in its ability to restrain dark beings like spirits and demons.
Moreover, the dark power from the Dark Space became like water without a source once it left the Dark Space.
Once depleted, it could not be replenished.
This was why she was being so cautious.
Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao were momentarily stunned. However, as chieftains of their respective tribes, they were no ordinary individuals.
Thus, the three exchanged glances, then solemnly nodded in unison, "We will guard it personally!"
"Good!"
Zi Linling nodded and moved to where Yin Jiao had previously stood.
She first released a wisp of dark power, allowing it to flow over the seal to ascertain its condition.
Soon, she had a complete understanding of the seal.
Then, she began to circulate the dark power of the Dark Space, filling every corner of the seal.
Naturally, throughout the entire process, the output of dark power from the Dark Space had to be maintained with balance to avoid damaging the seal itself.
An hour later, the dark power on the seal finally reached saturation.
Following this, Zi Linling rapidly formed the Demon Suppression Seal with her hands, integrating the Demon Sealing Art into it, and overlaying it onto the original seal.
In this manner, the seal was reinforced, which should be sufficient until her return from the Continent of Divine Remnants.
Zi Linling returned to the side of the seven, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Let's go! To the next seal."
"Zi... Miss, you should rest for a while before going!" Shen Liuxing said with concern.
Zi Linling shook her head, "No need. The sooner we finish the seals, the sooner we can leave!"
Then, she said to Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao, "Let's go, lead the way!"
"Alright!"
Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao exchanged glances and agreed simultaneously.
After speaking, the three walked ahead, leading Zi Linling and the other four towards the seal managed by the Chi tribe.
The location of the seal managed by the Chi tribe was only a thousand feet away from the Mei tribe's, and it was still within the core area of the Divine Demon Forest.
Therefore, everyone arrived there quickly.
Zi Linling was not one to dawdle. She directly approached the tombstone, first using the dark power of the Dark Space to examine the seal's condition, then followed suit, reinforcing it in the same manner.
Following that, the seven hurried to the seal managed by the Wangliang tribe. Su Dan Novel Network.
Only then did Zi Linling realize that the seals managed by the three tribes were arranged in heavenly, earthly, and human positions, forming a Three Powers formation.
She silently praised the wisdom of the person who set up the seals, and her hands moved without hesitation.
Thus, after reinforcing the three seals, Zi Linling, due to the immense mental exhaustion, had to sit down and recover.
While she was recovering, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing exchanged glances and guarded her surroundings.
Two hours later, Zi Linling finally recovered to her peak.
She stood up and said to Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao, "I have finished reinforcing the seals. Remember, absolutely do not let anyone approach the seals!"
"Yes!"
Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao replied in unison.
"Good! We should be leaving now!"
Zi Linling said, gathering Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing.
"Then we shall escort you!" Hui Shuo suggested.
"No need! You just need to guard this place well!"
After speaking, Zi Linling, without waiting for Hui Shuo, Hua Ji, and Yin Jiao to speak further, took Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing and melted into the darkness.
Hui Shuo, the chieftain of the Wangliang tribe, looked in the direction they left and murmured, "I hope she can truly reclaim the Ghost Gate Pass!"
Hua Ji, the chieftain of the Chi tribe, said, "She will! I believe in Miss Zi!"
Yin Jiao, the chieftain of the Mei tribe, also said, "I hope they can return soon, I miss the Underworld so much!"
"The Underworld..."
Hui Shuo repeated, his gaze seeming to pierce through space, "I miss going back too!"
Yin Jiao said with a heavy heart, "The Underworld's Moon, it should still be red, right?"
"The Underworld Moon..."
The three looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zi Linling, leading Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing, passed through the core of the Divine Demon Forest and quickly headed towards the spatial rift.
An hour later, Zi Linling stopped and said, "Let's rest for a moment!"
Xuanyuan Xun and the other three nodded and sat down on the spot.
"Have you all noticed, it seems less dark here?"
Shangguan Yulin looked up at the sky, obscured by the trees, and said.
"Compared to the core area just now, it really seems much brighter here!" Rong Guang nodded in agreement.
"We should be close to getting out, right?"
Xuanyuan Xun looked at the darkness ahead, his thoughts distant.
Only Shen Liuxing gazed dotingly at Zi Linling, remaining silent.
He thought to himself, "Sister Zi, it’s been a long time since Liuxing has quietly looked at you like this. You've become even more beautiful!"
At this moment, the scene of his first meeting with Zi Linling reappeared in his mind.
At that time, Zi Linling was still young and inexperienced. Although her outward demeanor was cool, it could not conceal her inner kindness.
Recalling the scene of Zi Linling riding on him and performing CPR on him, a radiant smile appeared on Shen Liuxing's lips.
Of course, all of this was completely hidden by the mask on his face.
Zi Linling seemed to not notice Shen Liuxing's ardent gaze.
At this moment, on her lap lay "Chong'er" with Ye Lingyuan within.
Her gaze was fixed intently on Ye Lingyuan.
Suddenly, a smile touched her lips, and she whispered foolishly, "Silly fellow!"
Xuanyuan Xun, Shangguan Yulin, Rong Guang, and Shen Liuxing's gazes instantly focused on her.
Becoming the center of attention, Zi Linling also came back to her senses.
"Why are you all looking at me? Have you rested enough?"
The few remained silent, but they unnaturally averted their gazes.
"Since you are all recovered, let's prepare to depart!"
Zi Linling said, putting "Chong'er" back on her back and standing up.
But at this moment, her expression changed.
Then, she let out a cold laugh and said, "As expected, this Divine Demon Forest is not solely the domain of the Chi, Mei, and Wangliang tribes."
At the same time, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing also sensed danger.
With a stir of their minds, they held their innate weapons in their hands.
Zi Linling took the lead and said, "Let's go! We'll meet these dark creatures!"
Xuanyuan Xun and the four said in unison, "Alright!"
