This group of people hid in a deep valley, occupying a location that was easy to defend and hard to attack.

The entrance outside was piled with the corpses of monsters, clearly after an intense battle.

Fang Zhou wasn't too worried about these people's safety; there were five Innates here, plus Aya holding down the fort; they had a chance against the Three-headed Dragon.

Ming Aoshuang had been paying attention to the outside all along, so she was the first to discover Fang Zhou's return and rushed out, with the others following closely behind.

Seeing Ming Aoshuang's excited look, Fang Zhou quickly used Divine Sense to transmit a message to her, "Calm down, sister!!"

He was afraid that Ming Aoshuang would rush up and hug him in her excitement, which would be explosive, with a whole bunch of people behind, including Yu Qing and Han Li.

Thanks to Fang Zhou's reminder, Ming Aoshuang managed to calm herself down.

She had great confidence in Fang Zhou's strength, but the terrifying commotion of battle from the direction of the volcano made her worry.

Now seeing Fang Zhou appear unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they had noticed the thousand-foot-tall body and voice of the Demon Suppression Saint earlier, knowing the ordeal had been overcome.

Aya came over second. Her level of concern for Fang Zhou's safety was no less than Ming Aoshuang's, having had the urge to go back several times.

Now seeing Fang Zhou safe and sound, she also breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly stepped aside.

Next, Yu Qing brought a group of their own people closer, surrounding Fang Zhou and chattering non-stop.

Xiao Yin also approached with a smile, asking Fang Zhou for details on slaying the Three-headed Dragon.

The others stopped not far away, not coming close. The true disciples of the three major sects looked over with complex eyes.

Especially Yu Hua of Taixu Temple and Hong Guan of the Great Leiyin Temple, both having witnessed Fang Zhou's power and the terror of that Three-headed Dragon.

After leaving the volcano, they were still in a state of shock, particularly with the terrifying battle sounds constantly emanating from the volcano.

Though they didn't know the battle noise was actually Fang Zhou and his disciple against Ya Zi, the Three-headed Dragon they deemed unbeatable had already hid in the volcano, crouching in defense.

But this didn't prevent them from marking Fang Zhou as one of the people not to be messed with from the bottom of their hearts.

Fang Zhou possessed formidable strength, had a close relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect, commanded the fourth largest organization in the Cultivation World, and had mysterious subordinates.

Aya's display of terrifying strength while fending off the monster tide was enough to stir the cultivators, but Ming Aoshuang said she was Fang Zhou's friend and had boldly sneaked in from outside.

So naturally, they dared not say anything or inquire.

"Brother Fang, did you see any disciples of the Red Sun Sect?"

Xiao Yin asked, the Red Sun Sect disciples were suspected of killing teammates and were still missing.

Xiao Yin wanted to investigate, but the monster tide had delayed this matter, and now that the game had been ended by Fang Zhou, Xiao Yin remembered it again.

The missing Red Sun Sect disciples were naturally Ya Zi in disguise, Fang Zhou couldn't speak the truth and could only say he was unaware.

Xiao Yin didn't press further, silently noting it down for investigation after leaving this place.

Everyone was teleported in when coming in, but needed to leave through the teleportation array in the plaza.

Fang Zhou and his group left; this place was not suitable for a long stay, lest they encounter any more unexpected situations.

Xuan Ling also returned quietly, only to be targeted by Xiao Yin, who kept asking about her whereabouts during this period, making her feel defenseless.

The group left through the teleportation array and returned to the twentieth floor.

Most people were all smiles, treating this as an adventure, although they didn't contribute much during the process, they also received the Demon Suppression Saint's rewards in the end.

The Demon Suppression Saint's rewards were extremely generous, especially from the Foundation Establishment to the Innate stage.

Without Fang Zhou, Ya Zi, and others crashing in, and without Aya's help, just relying on a few Innates and a group of Foundation Establishments, they would have suffered heavy casualties facing the Three-headed Dragon and the monster tide.

The danger level was high, so naturally, the rewards were abundant.

Yu Qing and Han Li couldn't even bother to chat with Fang Zhou; as soon as they came out, they rushed to find a place to retreat into seclusion, having seen the possibility of advancing to Innate with the Demon Suppression Saint's rewards.

Aside from that, others also received some rewards, each appearing overjoyed.

Fang Zhou sucked all his people into the gourd, there was no safer place than this.

He himself squeezed in too, with half a month left before leaving the Refining Immortal City, he wouldn't mess around during this period to avoid any more unforeseen situations.

Inside the gourd, Fang Zhou found a secluded spot and began to examine the mysterious power within himself.

He also received the Demon Suppression Saint's reward, but the reward was strange, leaving him unsure of what it was.

If he hadn't explicitly heard the Demon Suppression Saint's voice at the time, Fang Zhou would definitely have expelled this thing, dismissing it as junk.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

"Still alive? If you can hear me, make a sound?"

Fang Zhou experimented for a while but couldn't get a response from the thing, finally attempting to infiltrate it with Divine Sense.

As his Divine Sense entered, Fang Zhou just felt the world spin, and darkness suddenly swallowed everything, bringing him into a completely pitch-black space.

Fang Zhou had encountered this kind of situation more than once, so he was quite experienced.

So he stood patiently waiting; it wasn't long before a beam of light shot out from afar, prompting him to raise his hand to shield his eyes instinctively.

"Damn, why do you all like making appearances with your own spotlight?"

With Fang Zhou's complaint, the light disappeared abruptly, and the next moment, the pitch-black space suddenly brightened, transforming into a secret realm with beautiful scenery.

Above were clouds filling the sky, a rainbow arching across, and colorful phoenixes flying.

The surroundings turned into a lotus pond, with various goldfish swimming playfully in the clear lake.

Gigantic lotus flowers and leaves bloomed on the water's surface.

Not far from Fang Zhou, in the middle of a blooming lotus, sat a handsome and graceful middle-aged man cross-legged, none other than the Demon Suppression Saint who had appeared twice through illusory projections.

The Demon Suppression Saint was sitting in meditation with eyes closed until Fang Zhou's gaze turned to him, then slowly opened his eyes.

Both studied each other for a while, and only after was the Demon Suppression Saint satisfied and said, "Not bad, although not up to a tenth of me, still a fine-looking young man, I have high hopes for you."

Fang Zhou: (눈_눈)

Just with that rustic face of yours, you dare say I'm not a tenth as good-looking as you?

As if feeling Fang Zhou's disdain, the Demon Suppression Saint laughed heartily, "I am the handsome man of the ages, even if you can't surpass me, there's no need to feel inferior. Besides, physical appearance is superficial. A handsome man like me has never cared about his looks."

Fang Zhou: (눈_눈)

Damn it, I've never seen anyone so shameless.
