That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Chapter 172 Demon Realm 2

Chapter 172 Demon Realm 2

After listening to Hao Yun's words, Elder Gu pondered for a moment and said, "The situation you described seems to be influenced by demonic energy, causing you to lose your mind."

Lin Zhifeng also said, "Is it possible that they were just given pills that lowered their intelligence?"

Elder Gu said, "Well, we can't rule out that possibility."

Hao Yun listened and said admiringly, "You guessed right. It was due to both the influence of demonic energy and the effects of medicine. Because they couldn't circulate their true energy there, they could only survive by eating. I guessed that too, which is why I never ate the food they provided."

Lin Zhifeng asked in surprise, "What? Can you be unaffected by demonic energy and still maintain a state of not eating or drinking?"

Hao Yun said, "Hehe, how could I have such great abilities? It's just a coincidence. When those people were captured, their belongings were taken away. But coincidentally, no one came to search me, so I've been secretly taking fasting pills."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhifeng glanced at Hao Yun from head to toe and said suspiciously, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you say, is it? Do you have some special storage device that can't be easily discovered?"

Hao Yun was startled, but knowing from past experience, he knew that if he didn't answer Lin Zhifeng's questions honestly, he might be subjected to a truth-revealing pill or even a soul-searching technique.

Therefore, he hesitated for only a moment before honestly confessing: "I do have a family heirloom storage ring. It doesn't have any other functions, except that it's an invisible ring."

"Of course, this invisibility doesn't mean that the person wearing it can become invisible; it's just that the ring itself can become visible or invisible according to the owner's wishes."

"Although it's not very useful, it's perfect for someone like me who wanders around alone. I've escaped countless robberies and saved my property thanks to it. Even this time in the Demon Realm, it was thanks to it that I was able to escape."

As Hao Yun spoke, he couldn't help but gently rub the proximal joint of his left middle finger with the fingers of his right hand.

Although to Lin Zhifeng and the others it was just an empty finger, it was probably wearing the invisible ring he had mentioned.

Elder Gu said, "Even I, a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, couldn't detect this ring of yours, which shows it's of very high quality, possibly even a half-treasure. It seems your ancestors were no ordinary people!"

Hao Yun said, "When I was a child, my father told me that one of our ancestors was a powerful cultivator at the Refinement Realm. Later, in order to escape the pursuit of our enemies, he changed his name and went into hiding in the area where I used to live. He didn't tell me the specifics, and I know very little about it."

Elder Gu nodded and said, "Well, none of that matters. We have no interest in investigating your family's past. Just continue telling us about your experiences in the Demon Realm."

Hao Yun hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir!"

"The miners in the Demon Realm that I mentioned before are actually cultivators from our cultivation world. Due to the influence of demonic energy, they are no different from ordinary people without cultivation. The mine provides one meal a day. Although it looks like pig slop, because the quantity is limited, it always causes a scramble for food every time it is served."

"So I blended in with them, pretending to fight for food, and somehow I was never discovered that I was secretly taking fasting pills." Hao Yun sighed as he recalled those days of fear and anxiety.

"Did you see Sect Master Lin over there?" Elder Gu asked.

“No,” Hao Yun said, “at least not in the miners’ team in my mine.”

"So how did you survive those nearly twenty years, and how did you escape back?" Lin Zhifeng asked.

When Hao Yun heard this question, he frowned and looked confused, saying, "You might not believe me, but I only stayed there for about ten days."

Lin Zhifeng: "!"

Ding Mo: "!"

Elder Gu: "!"

The three of them never expected things to turn out this way, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Hao Yun continued, "I mined in the Demon Realm for more than ten days, and took advantage of the opportunity when they came out to capture people to escape."

After saying that, he sighed, "It's because the demons in their demon realm are too confident, thinking that the miners are all mentally challenged and won't run away. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

"After I came back, I was surprised to find that nearly twenty years had passed in the cultivation continent during the time I stayed in the Demon Realm. This means that the flow of time in the Demon Realm is completely different from ours!" Hao Yun said.

Lin Zhifeng also said to Elder Gu, "Uncle, the flow of time in this Demon Realm seems to be the same as that of the legendary Heavenly Realm. Could it be that they have some kind of connection with the Heavenly Realm?"

Elder Gu had no idea what was going on either! He had also heard the legend that "a day in heaven is a year on earth".

Unfortunately, those who ascended to the heavens never came down again. Nobody knows what happened.

Speaking of this, Lin Zhifeng regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh.

Why didn't he think to ask his master's ex-boyfriend when he encountered him in the Illusionary Realm? After all, he had ascended to the Heavenly Realm.

Even when Prince Longquan, employed by the Tianlong Dynasty, accompanied him to the tower in search of the sacred relic, he encountered the nine sons of the divine dragon but didn't think to ask about this matter...

What were they thinking at the time? Lin Zhifeng deeply regretted it.
