After Lu Changsheng was kidnapped by Dantai Meng, Lin Xuantong personally led people to come to his aid.
Lu Changsheng was his most valued disciple, and even the Ancient Ancestor of Mount Taihua had come out of seclusion to give pointers on Lu Changsheng’s cultivation.
If anything were to happen to Lu Changsheng, the resources invested by the Holy Land of Taihua would all be in vain.
“My disciple has always been cautious and has plenty of life-saving means, so how could he be captured by a demoness from the Demon Realm?”
Lin Xuantong knew Lu Changsheng was a careful person, rarely falling into traps, and even if he did, he could escape from the brink of death.
Grandmaster Taixu explained to Lin Xuantong what had happened.
After understanding the situation, Lin Xuantong suddenly realized.
Dantai Meng had captured the real True Person Yuxuan while he was out, then used the Transformative Divine Pill to disguise herself as True Person Yuxuan, luring Lu Changsheng out of Mount Taihua under the pretext of True Person Yuxuan’s affairs.
“She took away Changsheng’s magic artifact, called the ‘Ruthless Water Fire Bottle,’ which is a Dao Artifact crafted by the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable himself. It contains the World-Ending Demon Fire and Soul-Devouring Poison Water, which are truly terrifying. Even I would suffer greatly if I were to be trapped inside it, and eventually disintegrate into nothingness. No wonder Changsheng couldn’t escape…”
“Is there any way for the Saint Lord to save Changsheng?”
“At this moment, Changsheng has been taken into the Demon Realm, which is extremely troublesome.”
Lin Xuantong was plagued by a headache.
If Lu Changsheng were trapped in some forbidden area in the Immortal Realm, the experts of Mount Taihua could still find a way to rescue him.
But with Dantai Meng taking him to the Demon Realm, the Demon Chiefs there were utterly irreconcilable with the cultivators of the Immortal Realm.
In the past, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who was painstakingly nurtured by the Mother of Yaochi, was abducted to the Demon Realm by the Demon Marshal. The Mother of Yaochi exhausted the entire foundation of the Holy Land to save her, sending out all her best experts, but they failed to rescue the Holy Maiden. Instead, it led to more than half of the Yaochi’s experts dying or getting injured, and they have yet to recover.
The foundation of Mount Taihua is not much stronger than that of the Holy Land of Yaochi in those days.
Furthermore, Dantai Meng is the daughter of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, which means that if they want to save Lu Changsheng, they must forcibly storm into the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace.
The Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace is the lair of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, protected by various demonic formations.
Once the people from Mount Taihua enter the Demon Realm, other Demon Lords and even the Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian will not stand idly by.
“Is there really no way at all?”
Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia, and others looked at each other in dismay.
If even Lin Xuantong was unable to save Lu Changsheng, then they, a group of Daluo Golden Immortals, were even more powerless.
“It’s not that there is no way at all, it’s just that the chances are slim.”
Suddenly, Lin Xuantong brought hope to everyone.
Grandmaster Taixu secretly admired him.

Among the various Saint Lords controlling the Holy Lands, Lin Xuantong was of average cultivation level due to his shorter period of practice, and he was even considered a junior. But the reason Lin Xuantong could control the Holy Land of Taihua, aside from his high aptitude, was his intelligence and strategizing.
Even Grandmaster Taixu couldn’t think of a way that Lin Xuantong could rescue someone from the Demon Realm.
Although Lin Xuantong himself admitted that the chances were slim, in the end, he did have a method.
This fact alone surpassed that of many Holy Lands.
In the Demon Realm, within the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace, Dantai Meng quietly snuck back and found that the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was not there, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
If the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable found out she had risked going to the Immortal Realm to capture Lu Changsheng, he would certainly fly into a rage.
The life and death of Lu Changsheng were of no concern to the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable; what he worried about was whether Dantai Meng would be captured by the Heavenly Court.
For the Heavenly Court, powerhouses like the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and Dantai Meng from the Demon Realm were subjects of great bounty.
If Dantai Meng were captured by the Heavenly Court, and if she were thrown into the Ninefold Heavenly Prison, even the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable could not rescue her. He could only attempt to negotiate with the Heavenly Court, exchanging her release for a tremendous price.
Thus, Dantai Meng dared not let the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable find out about this incident; she could only set a trap in secret to capture Lu Changsheng alive.
“You must not reveal this matter, or else do not blame me for not being courteous.”
After warning the nine strong demon figures, Dantai Meng ordered them to leave her palace, then announced that she would be entering closed-door cultivation.
In truth, Dantai Meng went to the palace’s dungeon, pulled out the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle, and was brimming with pride.
She had finally captured the villain Lu Changsheng alive and could now manipulate him at will.
“You villain, I didn’t expect you to have such monstrous talent. Last time, your cultivation level was below mine, but now you’ve already surpassed me. Unfortunately, with the supreme magic artifact bestowed by my father, you have still fallen into my hands.”
Dantai Meng stared at the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle. She could see the situation inside.
Lu Changsheng had indeed been brought back to the Demon Realm by her.
This was her territory, how could Lu Changsheng escape?
“Dantai Meng, have you forgotten? I am your master, how can you treat your master like this?”
Since he was captured alive by Dantai Meng, Lu Changsheng simply went all out.
“Ahhh!!! Stop talking!”
Dantai Meng, furious and nearly driven mad with rage, remembered the last time she was captured by Lu Changsheng and was forced to call him master.
Now that Lu Changsheng was bringing up that incident again, Dantai Meng was on the verge of insanity.
“I will make you suffer the torments of water and fire!”
Dantai Meng activated the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle, causing the World-Ending Demon Fire and the Soul-Devouring Poison Water to boil and engulf Lu Changsheng.
The true horror of the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle lay not in instantly killing the opponent but rather in being able to confine a powerful enemy within the treasure bottle, allowing the victim to suffer from the torment of the demonic fire and soul-devouring poison water for endless years until body and soul were annihilated.
This magic artifact was originally a tool used by the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable to execute traitors.
Dantai Meng had pleaded desperately, persuading the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable to grant her this treasure.
Dantai Meng decided to first give Lu Changsheng a taste of suffering to make him willing to submit to her.
