The farmer brought Linlong into the village. After taking a few turns, they arrived in front of a wooden house.
"Young Master Lin, Old Gu is inside," the farmer said to Linlong with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man's voice sounded from inside, "Is Young Master Lin here?"
"Old Gu, Young Master Lin is here," the farmer said immediately.
"Alright, let him in," the old man inside said.
Linlong immediately walked forward, pushed the door open, and stood at the side respectfully. Linlong followed and walked into the wooden house. The moment he entered, he saw an old man sitting in front of a tea table.
"Young Master Lin, please take a seat," the old man said to Linlong with a smile.
The old man had a kind and benevolent face. Linlong could not sense any demonic aura from him. Not only that, Linlong could sense that he was not an expert.
Linlong could not help but feel puzzled.
"Old Gu, what is this place? Were you the one who said that you would tell me everything once I entered this place? "Linlong asked as he sat down.
"That's right, I said that," the old man said with a faint smile.
After a short pause, he continued, "This is a place that exists between two worlds."
"Which two worlds?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"The two worlds that you entered previously," Old Gu said.
"Oh," Linlong understood after hearing the old man's words.
Old Gu continued, "I can be said to be the controller of those two worlds."
"You're the controller of those two worlds?" Linlong could not help but feel puzzled as he asked Old Gu.
Old Gu could not help but smile, "One's strength cannot tell everything on the surface. The reason why I can control them is because I can change their runic formation with a wave of my hand."
"If that's the case, why didn't you do anything when the human race has been oppressed for so many years?" Linlong frowned.
"Although I can change their runic formation with a wave of my hand, I will not change the details within. Be it the demon race, everything they have achieved is due to their hard work. I will not easily change their fate," Old Gu said calmly.
"I see." Linlong nodded, then said, "You're probably the powerful demon beast that the Array Spirit mentioned, right?"
Old Man Gu couldn't help but smile when he heard Linlong, and then he said, "That's right, I'm the Demonic Beast that the Formation Spirit spoke of. However, it's different from what he thinks. I'm actually not a Demonic Beast."
"From the looks of it, you don't seem to be setting up any obstacles for me," Linlong asked.
"Of course." Old Gu nodded.
"Then why didn't you give me any hints after I entered these two worlds for so long?" Linlong asked.
"That's because you have to go through a test. If you're just an ordinary person, how can you obtain the Thousand Demon Flame's Divine Soul?" Old Gu said with a solemn expression.
After hearing Old Gu's words, Linlong completely believed what he had said previously.
At this moment, he realized that it wasn't easy to see through this ancient being. Before, he felt that the other party was just an ordinary person. But now, he couldn't tell just how powerful the other party was.
'This is probably a return to simplicity,' Linlong thought to himself.
"So you're saying that I've passed the test and am qualified to obtain the Thousand Demon Fire Divine Soul?" Linlong asked immediately.
"It's passable," Old Gu replied.
Linlong couldn't help but feel delighted after hearing Old Gu's words. He immediately asked, "Also, is Huo Qinghan with you?"
"Are you talking about that girl?" Old Gu couldn't help but smile before saying, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the door. Linlong also stood up and followed behind him. After passing through a small alley, Old Gu stopped in front of a wooden house.
Subsequently, he walked forward and pushed open the door of the wooden house. Linlong followed him and looked inside. He realized that there were more than ten young girls inside, all of whom were sitting and doing needlework.
They were very serious. Even when Old Gu walked in, they didn't raise their heads to look at him.
After following Old Gu in, Linlong's gaze stopped on one of the young girls. He realized that the young girl was Huo Qinghan.
However, Huo Qinghan seemed to have not noticed him. She continued to focus on her needlework.
"Qinghan," Linlong couldn't help but call out.
At this moment, Huo Qinghan finally raised her head. When she saw Linlong, joy immediately appeared on her face.
"Lin Li," she called out happily.
She hurriedly stood up. After standing up, she seemed to have noticed Old Gu who was standing beside Linlong. She immediately nodded at him in embarrassment. "Old Gu."
Old Gu smiled. "Qinghan, Lin Li is here to look for you. You can leave with him now."
After hearing Old Gu's words, the joy on Huo Qinghan's face deepened. Then, she sprinted towards Linlong and hugged him tightly.
"Sorry, I'm late," Linlong said.
"No, I'm happy that you're here." Huo Qinghan actually started to choke up.
Seeing that the two of them were like this, the young girls in the wooden house tactfully stood up and left.
"I'll wait for you guys outside." After saying that, Old Gu also walked out.
After Old Gu left, Linlong asked, "Qinghan, why are you here?"
To be honest, Linlong was really confused. Ever since he entered those two worlds, he had been asking about Huo Qinghan. However, he didn't receive any news about her. It was as if Huo Qinghan didn't enter those two worlds at all.
"At the altar. After entering the light circle, I came here directly. Didn't you do the same?" Huo Qinghan couldn't help but be confused.
Huo Qinghan's words made Linlong speechless.
He used a few sentences to roughly describe his experiences during this period of time.
After hearing Linlong say that after fighting with Mo Ying's split soul in the hidden secret realm, he entered the other two worlds and experienced many things before coming here, Huo Qinghan couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"I thought you came here directly after passing through the altar," Huo Qinghan couldn't help but say.
"Old Gu, do you know anything about him?" Linlong asked.
"As soon as I arrived here, I became extremely anxious because this looked like an ordinary village. There was no trace of the Thousand Demon Flame. Because of this, even though Old Man Gu tried to persuade me to stay, I still attacked him. However, what I didn't expect was that Old Man Gu, who looked like an ordinary person, was actually an expert. I wasn't a match for him at all."
"Then, Old Gu said that as long as I waited here peacefully, I would be able to wait for your arrival. Moreover, this was indeed a refreshing place, so I stayed here. Fortunately, you finally came today."
Huo Qinghan said.
Hearing Huo Qinghan's words, Linlong who knew what happened immediately said, "Alright, let's go talk to Old Gu and see if he can bring us to the Thousand Demon Fire."
Speaking of this, the wooden house's door opened again, and Old Gu, who seemed to have been waiting outside, walked in.
"Lin Li, when you came here, I already decided to let you guys obtain the Thousand Demon Fire," Old Gu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Old Gu." Huo Qinghan couldn't help rejoicing.
"However, the Thousand Demon Fire's Spirit isn't with me." Old Gu suddenly shook his head.
Hearing Old Gu's words, Linlong's face couldn't help but twitch. Soon after, he said, "Are you going to be like the Array Spirit? We went through so many difficulties, only to say that you guys don't have it?"
"How can I be like that Array Spirit? That Array Spirit doesn't even know where the Thousand Demon Fire's Spirit is, but I know that I can help you guys find it." Old Gu couldn't help cursing inwardly.
"Alright then." Linlong helplessly said.
Although it was depressing, compared to the Array Spirit, Old Gu could be said to be more reliable.
"Where is the Thousand Demon Fire's Spirit?" Huo Qinghan couldn't help asking.
"The Thousand Demon Fire's Spirit is hidden in the maze of the secret realm. As long as you guys return there, you will be able to find it." Old Gu said.
"Is it there?" Hearing Old Gu's words, Linlong immediately nodded his head.
"Lin Li, do you know that place?" Huo Qinghan couldn't help asking.
"I know. When I first entered the hidden pocket dimension, I went there directly, but I was blocked by a strange Runic Magic Circle. The Runic Magic Circle would become stronger as the power of the attack increased. After trying many methods, I realized that I couldn't break through it at all. In the end, I tried using demonic arts and other cultivation methods to attack it. After trying that, I realized that I achieved an unexpected result. However, although it was effective, I still couldn't break through the Runic Magic Circle in the end. I thought that it should be just like what the High Elder said. I needed you and I to unleash the Crimson Demon Flame at the same time to attack together. So, I left there to find you," Linlong said.
"Is that so?" Huo Qinghan couldn't help being shocked. She didn't expect such a Runic Magical Array to exist.
Soon after, she thought of something and asked Old Gu, "Old Gu, that should be the place that the Runic Magical Array corresponds to, right?"
"It should be. However, I have never been there before, so I naturally don't know the exact situation." Old Gu smiled.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's hurry there," Linlong immediately said.
After such a long time, who knew what exactly had happened outside. Thus, he naturally hoped to get out of there as soon as possible.
"I can open a passage for you guys to return to the secret realm directly," said Old Gu.
"Thank you, Old Gu," said Linlong.
"Follow me." After saying that, Old Gu turned around and walked out of the wooden house.
Linlong and Huo Qinghan quickly followed behind him.
After following him for a while, the few of them arrived at the bottom of a cliff. Then, without Old Gu doing anything, a Runic Magical Array suddenly appeared in front of them.
"After passing through this Runic Magical Array, you guys will be able to return to the secret realm," said Old Gu.
