After exiting phantom city, Lin Huang and the other two quickly contacted Lan Ling and Tu Tong.
In less than half an hour, the five of them finally met up.
Lan Ling and Tu Tong were clearly excited to see the three of them appear in one piece. None of them were missing.
"Did you find phantom city?!" Tu Tong asked, suppressing his emotions.
"Yes." Virtuoso nodded.
"Did you get what you wanted?" Tu Tong asked immediately.
"Yes, we got it relatively smoothly," Virtuoso said with a smile.
"I thought you guys wouldn't be coming back …" As Lan Ling spoke, tears began welling up in her eyes.
"This girl has cried so many times these past few days," Tu Tong said, feeling rather speechless.
"Girl, don't cry. Look, aren't we back in one piece? "Lin Huang comforted her helplessly.
Although he was the youngest in the team, in terms of ability, he was of the same generation as Virtuoso and Saber9. Naturally, he regarded Tu Tong and Lan Ling as his juniors.
He knew that Virtuoso and Saber9 were not good at comforting people, so he had no choice but to step in and calm Lan Ling down as soon as possible.
"You guys went missing for over twenty days. Actually, when you didn't come back on the third day, I guessed that you might have entered phantom city directly. As the days passed, you didn't come back either, which further confirmed my guess.
"There's a powerful gatekeeper in phantom city. Considering that the chances of you guys passing through with your abilities aren't high, we went in directly," Virtuoso explained.
In reality, this was only one aspect of the story. The real reason was that the three of them had passed the gatekeeper's test and pushed open the gates of phantom city in a hurry, completely forgetting about Tu Tong and Lan Ling.
It was only when they pushed open the gates and entered phantom city that the three of them remembered that there were still two people who had not entered. Therefore, the three of them came up with this story.
Fortunately, Tu Tong and Lan Ling believed this story and did not delve into it further.
Tu Tong said very honestly, "Actually, on the fifteenth day, both of us were very sure that you guys had died in phantom city. However, the girl refused to leave and insisted on waiting. She told me to wait for another fifteen days and see. If you guys still hadn't come out by then, she would leave with me and not raise any objections. I couldn't change her mind, so I had to wait with her. Actually, the two of us didn't have much hope at all, but we didn't expect that it would really happen … "
"Of course, we haven't been idle these days. Let's cultivate while killing the monsters nearby … "
Tu Tong saw that Lan Ling had yet to calm down, so he had no choice but to slowly recount what had happened over the past twenty days.
When he was done, Lan Ling's emotions finally calmed down.
Under the questioning of the two, Lin Huang and the other two also gave a brief account of what happened in the Magical Fantasy City.
When they heard that Lin Huang had killed Nine Nether, the two of them looked at Lin Huang with even more admiration.
After the five of them conversed for a while, Virtuoso finally cut to the chase.
"I have obtained the Magical Fantasy City's City Lord Seal. My goal for this trip has been achieved. Do you have any other business in the Abyss? If there's anything you need help with, just say it. We'll help you as soon as possible. If not, then we'll prepare to return. "
As Virtuoso spoke, their gaze swept across the rest of them, lingering on Lin Huang for a moment.
Lin Huang and the rest shook their heads.
To Lin Huang, he had already elevated to tenth-rank. Although he had yet to achieve perfect-rank tenth-rank, his subsequent elevations did not necessarily have to be completed in the Abyss.
Moreover, the most urgent matter at hand was to send Virtuoso and the rest away. After all, Virtuoso and Saber9 were not in good shape.
As for the rest, they had been hired by Virtuoso to help. They had no ulterior motives.
Seeing that Lin Huang did not say anything, Virtuoso nodded slightly. "Alright then, let's go back!"
Lan Ling said immediately, "We've already found our way back."
Back in the Magical Fantasy City, everything had been isolated from the outside world. That was why Lin Huang and the rest had dared to use dimensional teleportation.
However, now that they were back in the Abyss, they dared not use it at all.
This was because there was a certain probability that the dimensional fluctuations would attract the attention of half-step Lords or even Lords.
The safest thing to do was to return the way they had come.
Fortunately, Lan Ling and Tu Tong had nothing to do these past few days, so they had already found a part of the return route.
Tu Tong led the way at the front. The five of them rose slightly into the air and flew at a low altitude, heading off into the distance.
In the dense forest, there were Night Demon Firs and Dead Spirit Vines blocking their way. However, they were all killed instantly by Lin Huang's telekinetic flying daggers. Virtuoso and the rest did not even have the chance to attack.
After exiting the Demonic Fir Forest, the five of them continued on their way.
All the monsters that attacked along the way were easily killed by Lin Huang. Not a single monster required a second flying dagger.
Virtuoso and Saber9 had initially thought that they could kill any monster that they missed.
However, they had never imagined that Lin Huang would not give them the chance to do so at all.
The two of them were very grateful to see this. They felt that Lin Huang was afraid that something would happen to their injuries, so he had taken over all the fighting for them.
However, the truth was that Lin Huang was only killing monsters in a frenzy to plunder more God Rule Power.
In less than half an hour, the group returned to the familiar toxic Demonic Swamp.
Sensing that Tu Tong, who was leading the way, had begun to slow down, Lin Huang immediately spoke through voice transmission, "There's no need to slow down. I'll kill all the monsters we encounter along the way. Just focus on your own defense, just in case. "
If it had been someone else, Tu Tong might have hesitated. After all, the toxic Demonic Swamp was different from other places. The Fiendish Swamp Monsters and Poison Arrow Frogs were experts in assassination and sneak attacks, and they were extremely poisonous.
However, after hearing the story of Lin Huang killing the ninth-rank overlord-level powerhouse, Nine Gloom, and witnessing Lin Huang killing the Night Demon Firs and Dead Spirit Vines as if they were vegetables, he chose to believe Lin Huang without any hesitation.
The five of them continued moving forward at high speed, flying above the Demonic Swamp.
Almost immediately, they were ambushed by the Fiendish Swamp Monsters. However, Lin Huang's telekinetic flying daggers shot out one after another, easily slicing through all the tentacles and piercing through the bodies of the Fiendish Swamp Monsters one after another.
What was supposed to be a sneak attack instantly turned into a massacre.
Initially, Lin Huang had planned to kill his way through. However, he did not expect that there would not be many monsters ambushing them before they were even halfway through the toxic Demonic Swamp.
It was not that there were no monsters hiding in the Demonic Swamp, but they did not dare to reach out after witnessing Lin Huang's forceful suppression.
As it turned out, even monsters with low intelligence still had survival instincts.
After passing through the toxic Demonic Swamp, the five of them finally left the foggy area completely.
"We'll reach the Disaster Abyss Land if we go any further."
Tu Tong and Lan Ling still had lingering fears about a place like this.
It was not only because there were many Disasters in the Disaster Abyss Land, but all sorts of extreme negative emotions were terrifyingly infectious. Once one was infected, it would be very troublesome.
"Don't worry. We can basically confirm that we're only in the middle layer of the Abyss. The Abyssal creatures with the highest combat strength are only ninth-rank heavenly god-level, nothing higher. The same goes for the Disaster Abyss Land, "Lin Huang said casually," We'll just go back the way we came. "
Although his tone was calm, the other four could tell that he did not think much of ninth-rank heavenly god-level monsters.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling calmed down inexplicably when they heard this.
The two of them continued leading the way, charging into the Disaster Abyss Land almost without slowing down.
