...
(Within the Screen In the Sky)
Lin Yan was still fighting with this Extraterrestrial Devil.
Perhaps if the Extraterrestrial Devil encountered other immortals, it would have survived.
But now, this Extraterrestrial Devil encountered Lin Yan and was finally torn apart.
All that was left was a black evil qi that kept rolling around.
A smell of malice, ferocity, blood, and many other negative emotions emanated from this ball of evil qi.
Lin Yan grabbed this ball of evil qi and returned to Teng Gang and the others.
"Captain." Teng Gang and the others were filled with joy and welcomed him.
The strength of their new captain was much more terrifying than they had imagined.Advanc*chapsahead
Lin Yan nodded slightly, waved his hand, took out a gourd engraved with eight trigrams, and filled this mass of evil qi inside.
The Extraterrestrial Devil was tough to destroy, and only by sending it into the Heavenly Palace's Celestial Divine furnace could it be refined.
In fact, the Heavenly Palace's Celestial Divine furnace was the most precious treasure built to refine these Extraterrestrial Devils, similar to what the Seven Great Demon Empire's Lord had.
It had an incidental function of eliminating an Extraterrestrial Devil whose strength was comparable to the peak of an immortal.
Teng Gang and the others were incomparably happy as they would also be rewarded with treasures.
So after sending the gourd with the evil qi sealed in it back to the Heavenly Palace, Teng Gang and others deliberately held a celebration banquet for this.
...
Teng Gang stared at the screen above his head and clenched his hands tightly.
He clearly remembered that they and the future Heavenly Emperor Lin Yan vowed to be sworn brothers at this celebration banquet under heaven and earth.
"Vowing to become sworn brothers. Heavenly Emperor, I wonder if you still remember that vow when you betrayed everyone later." Teng Gang's eyes were filled with anger.Advanc*chapsahead
…
(Within the Screen In the Sky)
It was night.
The bright moonlight illuminated the ground.
"To be able to capture a peak Immortal level Extraterrestrial Devil this time is simply a great joy. We must celebrate. Cheers."
Inside a small, ordinary courtyard, Zhuo Yang looked excited and grabbed a bowl of wine in his hand.
Everyone else around followed him.
Even Zhao Ling'er, a woman, looked excited at this moment.
Lin Yan was the only one who watched all this with a calm expression.
For the past hundred years, he was already used to being alone. So, the lively scene, on the contrary, made him a little uncomfortable.
"Captain, we toast you a bowl. If it weren't for you this time, we wouldn't even be alive, let alone take the credit." Teng Gang grabbed the wine bowl in his hand and looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan nodded slightly and casually grabbed the bowl of wine in front of him.
A strong smell of wine came from it.
This kind of wine wasn't ordinary, but Zhuo Yang liked to drink it.
He brewed this wine by gathering many spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits.
But even so, Lin Yan wasn't much interested in these wines.
As long as his Dharma power was activated, all the wine he drank into his stomach would immediately turn into nothing.
So even if he were allowed to drink as much wine as an ocean, he would pretty much feel nothing.
"Come, drink this bowl."
Lin Yan accompanied Teng Gang and the others and casually drank this bowl of wine.
A hint of flush immediately appeared on the faces of Teng Gang and the others.
Only Lin Yan didn't seem to have any reaction.
Zhuo Yang glanced at Lin Yan and immediately couldn't help but say with a chuckle, "Captain, it's not okay for you to drink like this, it's just a waste of my wine."
They and Lin Yan had been together for several years, and the relationship wasn't as rusty as it was back then.
So, Zhuo Yang didn't have too many scruples about speaking.
Lin Yan looked at Zhuo Yang and said, chuckling, "What? Is there any other way to drink?"
"Of course, there is." Zhuo Yang's eyes shined, proudly saying, "The wine we are drinking now is called the 'Divine Drink'. As long as you don't actively use your power to resist the strength of the wine, even an Immortal would feel dizzy and become drunk."
"How can you call it drinking when you don't even feel drunk…? Captain, try it. You'll then know that what I Zhuo Yang said isn't a lie."
Hearing this, the other people next to Zhuo Yang burst into laughter, "Zhuo Yang, you're doing it again. You can't compete for drinking with the captain and win."
Lin Yan looked at Zhuo Yang and shook his head.
Immortals have nearly immortal physiques.
It was almost impossible to make an immortal drunk from a small altar of wine.
"Okay, then I'll try it." Lin Yan, who was somewhat curious, reached over and grabbed the bowl of wine and began to drink it slowly.
Lin Yan tried his best not to resist the power of this wine.
When the wine entered Lin Yan's stomach, his head buzzed, and he felt out of control and began to shake.
Soon, a sense of intoxication was diffused inside Lin Yan's body.Advanc*chapsahead
…
"The Immortal Wine that Zhuo Yang brewed must be incredibly powerful if it can even get the Heavenly Emperor drunk."
"That's strange. The Heavenly Emperor and these people then seem to be having a good relationship. How come we only know General Teng Gang and Ling'er but not Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian?"
"The Heavenly Emperor must have something to do with it. After all, the future Heavenly Emperor is capable of going to any lengths." Everyone began to mutter.
Meanwhile, Teng Gang's face turned strange as he stared at the screen above his head.
Watching the cozy scene on the screen made him feel like he had gone back in time.
At that time, they were happy and truly treated each other as their closest relatives.
"How nice it would be if time had remained at that moment." Teng Gang sighed in his heart.
But when he turned back and saw Zhao Ling'er, who was only a remnant soul in front of him, the kind of tender feelings that rose in his heart immediately dissipated into thin air.
At the same time, the muttering voice coming from his ears made him look a little bit more restrained.
"Back then, both Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian died from being possessed by Extraterrestrial Devils. I never suspected but… could this be related to the Heavenly Emperor?"
The suspicion in his heart grew at once.
Immediately, it was like a seed that took root, sprouted, and thrived.
Teng Gang's eyes flashed with a fiery light.
Raising his head, he looked at the screen in the sky.
"Now it's time for me to take a good look at how the two of them died. If they were killed by the Heavenly Emperor, then…."
