When Li Luo arrived at the quiet courtyard on the main peak the next day, Li Rouyun, Li Lingjing, and Li Feng were already waiting there.

"Li Luo."

Li Rouyun rushed forward when she saw Li Luo walking over. He could see the unconcealable worry and panic on her face.

It was clear that she had heard about Li Lingjing\'s new problem.

Li Luo tried to comfort her a little. "Don\'t worry, Aunt Yun. Let\'s have the Respected Elder take a look at it first. He\'s a King after all. He may have a way to help Cousin Lingjing get rid of the Soul Eater True Devil."

Li Rouyun responded in a bitter tone, "I gave it a try yesterday, but it was totally useless. I can\'t even find a trace of the Soul Eater True Devil."

Hearing this, Li Luo frowned a little. Li Rouyun was a sixth-grade Duke, much higher than Li Feng, yet her efforts were still useless. It seemed like the Soul Eater True Devil entanglement was much more tricky than he had expected.

At the same time, he sensed that the Soul Eater True Devil was not as simple as he had thought. Based on its strength, it was just a third-grade True Devil, yet even a sixth-grade Duke like Li Rouyun could not get rid of it?

This was really odd.

Li Rouyun looked at Li Luo and continued in a sad voice, "The Soul Eater True Devil is really peculiar. Now that Lingjing has been entangled with it, I am afraid that others will suggest eliminating them both if we\'re unable to separate them successfully."

She was very clear on how the people viewed the Others. Mankind was always vigilant and hostile towards them, and the various forces in society treated them as a potential disaster. Now that Li Lingjing got caught up with one, the topic was a ticking time bomb. From a safety point of view, it was best to eliminate both of them if they were unable to purify the Other inside her.

However... Li Rouyun was not ready to accept this. She treated Li Lingjing like a daughter, and the girl had finally recovered from the cruel, half-dead state she had been in ever since her spirit was half-consumed. It would be too much of a blow to see Li Lingjing killed.

At this point, Li Luo slowly said, "As long as Cousin Lingjing retains her\\ consciousness and control over her body, I feel that it\'s unnecessary to eliminate her. I\'ve promised her that I will do my best to protect her. I\'ll keep to my promise for sure. However, this is all assuming Cousin Lingjing is able to maintain her sanity. If she\'s ever unable to hold down the Soul Eater True Devil, or if it takes control of her... Aunt Yun, you will have to be prepared to lose her."

That last sentence was a very cruel thing for Li Luo to say. Nonetheless, it was a necessary one. The possibility of such a scenario was not completely zero. If that happened, Li Lingjing might be totally consumed by the Soul Eater True Devil and would no longer be herself.

Hearing this, Li Rouyun dabbed at the corners of her eyes and replied softly, "I understand."

If it really came to that, she would no longer be able to protect Li Lingjing no matter how much it would break her heart. For now, she could only focus on protecting her niece before then.

Li Luo nodded. He sighed a little in his heart before he said, "Let\'s go. We\'ll visit the Respected Elder and see what he has to say."

Following this, he opened the doors himself and stepped in first. Witnessing this, Li Rouyun, Li Feng, and Li Lingjing exchanged nervous glances with each other.

In their eyes, Li Jingzhe was the head of the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage. He had always been stern and serious. Even for Li Rouyun, meeting him was always a stressful experience. Most of the time, she would simply nod in agreement without any voice of dissent.

It was even worse for Li Feng as he was merely Western City\'s City Lord. Even the chance to meet Li Jingzhe was extremely rare for someone of his status.

The three of them followed Li Luo into the courtyard, walking along the tree-lined path for a while before finally arriving in front of a lake that was as clear as a mirror.

There was a stone pavilion beside the lake, and an old man was sitting there fishing.

Li Luo brought the three of them over to the stone pavilion and then bowed down slightly before greeting the old man politely. "Grandpa."

Li Jingzhe turned over and took a quick look at Li Luo. At this moment, a tinge of happiness surfaced on his cold and serious face, and he said, "You\'ve reached the Tri-Radiance Glass Fiend Tier!"

Li Luo nodded with a smile. "I happened to chance upon a rare opportunity during my visit into the Dark Domain. With its help, I\'ve managed to cultivate it."

"Not bad. Now you\'ll stand a better chance at winning the upcoming Dragon\'s Head selection battle," Li Jingzhe responded.

Next, his eyes shifted over to the other three.

"Lineage Chief!"

Li Rouyun greeted him nervously as soon as she noticed his gaze sweeping over. At the same time, Li Feng and Li Lingjing followed suit hurriedly and bowed down as well.

Li Jingzhe waved his hands at the basic courtesy, then his gaze paused at Li Feng. He slowly said, "The Western Region\'s Li Family is our extended family. In the past, one of your elders cultivated alongside me."

Li Feng quickly responded, "Indeed. That was recorded in our family\'s chronicles. The elder instructed us in the Western Region\'s Li Family to follow your lead, Lineage Chief."

However, Li Jingzhe did not care much about Li Feng\'s flattery. Instead, he turned over to Li Lingjing and asked, "Is this little girl the one that was consumed by the True Devil Other?"

All of a sudden, there was a strong sense of pressure on Li Lingjing as she noticed his gaze moving to her. An indescribable fear surfaced in her heart because she knew that if Li Jingzhe wanted to, he could make her disappear without a trace in an instant.

Under this oppressive pressure, she could not help but clench her fists despite her usually composed temperament. Her body even started to shake a little.

Li Luo spoke up at this moment. "That\'s right, Grandpa. It\'s all thanks to the help of Cousin Lingjing that I was able to get the rare opportunity that helped me enter the Tri-Radiance Glass Fiend Tier successfully. As such, I\'ve brought her back with me to see if there\'s any way to help her."

When he finished his sentence, the terrifying pressure on Li Lingjing gradually faded away. In her heart, she heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Li Luo earnestly. She understood why he had said those words.

"I\'ve read through the reports. The Soul Eater True Devil that you encountered is truly kind of strange." At this point, he turned towards Li Feng and asked, "Previously, the Western Region had not reported anything about the Soul Eater True Devil, correct?"

Li Feng responded in a hurry, "Respected Elder, I apologize for my incompetence. We scouted the Western Region\'s Dark Domain multiple times in the past but did not manage to find any traces of it."

Li Jingzhe nodded and then continued, "What a naturally gifted young girl. If not for that unfortunate incident, she would’ve surely been a talent in the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage now."

At this moment, he flicked his finger, and a drop of water rose up from the lake. The droplet floated over and hovered in the air in front of him.

Next, a strand of resonant power emerged from the tip of his finger. It was a truly minute strand that was hardly visible. However, everyone, including Li Luo, felt the resonant power in their own bodies start to tremble as soon as it appeared. Their resonant power shivered in fear just like how a wild animal would shudder in front of the king of the forest, not daring to relax in front of it for even a single moment.

The terrifying strand of resonant power slipped into the water droplet, then the droplet started to rotate. A few moments later, the water expanded into the deep, blue dragon-eye that was about fifty meters wide.

The eyes of the dragon were unfathomable, and a terrifying dragonfear seeped out of this one. The air around it trembled from the sheer pressure it emitted.

At this moment, the eye stared directly at Li Lingjing.

Li Lingjing could sense that there was nothing she could hide in front of it. It stared right through her, even seeing her spirit and her mental self. It was a really mysterious force that could peer through everything.

"Don\'t worry about it. This is the Clear Eye of the Heavenly Dragon. It can see the flow of all worldly natural energy and pierce through any kind of barrier. Corruption can’t even hope to hide from it," Li Jingzhe explained in a faint voice.

Hearing this, Li Lingjing was no longer so worried.

In the next moment, ray after ray of dark-blue light shot out of the Clear Eye of the Heavenly Dragon and scanned Li Lingjing\'s tiny body. After a while, Li Luo noticed something amazing. Li Lingjing\'s body had started to turn translucent when the rays scanned it repeatedly. After a while, her body seemed to have completely disappeared, and a mysterious body of light remained in her original position.

"This is her spirit, or spirit body..." Li Jingzhe explained. Then he waved his hand, and the void started to vibrate. A ray of light fell onto the Clear Eye of the Heavenly Dragon, then the eye started to expand rapidly all of a sudden.

The rays of light scanning Li Lingjing\'s spirit grew even stronger at this point.

The faces of Li Luo, Li Rouyun, and Li Feng changed when they noticed a black shroud clouding Li Lingjing’s spirit.

There was an evil and chilly air around the black shroud. At the same time, soft and insidious whispers could be heard coming from it repeatedly. This was truly disturbing and could easily cause one to lose one’s sense of self.

In particular, Li Luo even felt a sense of familiarity from it. This was the Soul Eater True Devil!

With the help of Li Jingzhe, the tricky Soul Eater True Devil that had hidden deep within Li Lingjing had finally been found.

However, the shroud was deeply entangled with Li Lingjing’s spirit.

Without any expression, Li Jingzhe looked at this and asked, "Is this the Soul Eater True Devil? Interesting. It\'s not a simple Other. It seems like it\'s been mixed with something else. This is not a natural Other—it\'s man-made."

Hearing this, Li Luo\'s pupils suddenly shrank. A look of horror appeared on his face as he asked with a faint voice, "Was this Soul Eater True Devil artificially created? Impossible! Others can be created? Who\'d do such a crazy thing?"

At this point, Li Jingzhe explained, "Others are normally born as a condensation of negative emotions from mankind. But I can sense some familiar signs on this Other. They are probably the only ones in the world who could create such a thing."

"Who are they?" Li Luo couldn\'t help but asked.

However, there was already an answer in his heart at this point.

Li Jingzhe slowly spat out the three words. "The Origin Reversion Institute."

There was a chill in Li Luo\'s heart when he heard this.

As expected...

It was the mysterious Origin Reversion Institute yet again.
