Fortunately, after Zhang Zhenyi and the others asked some questions, they let them go.

Fang Yu decisively prepared to quietly retreat with the team.

In the distance, bursts of fire occasionally shot into the sky, and the ground shook, clearly indicating that the task against the Lin Family was still ongoing.

But their task was completed; they could retreat first.

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Yu suddenly felt someone quickly approaching him.

His heart tightened, and he turned around to look.

A bald man appeared abruptly before him.

But the bald man's shoulder was firmly pressed by a hand.

"Lin Tianbie, our Lin Family is going back to report on the situation, and we're not on the same side as those Foolish Underworld people, so no need to get so cozy."

Lin Lai's calm voice sounded.

Lin Tianbie gave a cold glance at the person beside him, raised his hand to slap Lin Lai's hand off his shoulder with a "smack," and turned to leave.

"What does he want?"

Fang Yu said coldly.

Jie Yuxue and the others also looked back at this time, realizing the situation and nervously putting Fang Yu behind them for protection.

"I don't know. But be careful with that guy, he's the type to repay every slight, and you have offended him; he won't let you off easily."

Lin Lai gently shook his head, then suddenly smiled, "Thanks to Brother Diao for helping us eliminate the demon earlier."

One doesn't strike a smiling person.

Since the Lin Family was being so polite, naturally, Fang Yu wouldn't show a bad attitude either; he simply said, "Just doing my duty."

Lin Lai blinked, "Although Brother Diao helped us, to be honest, with the death of Seventh Young Master, your Foolish Underworld might still need to give an explanation in the future."

"What explanation! Your so-called Seventh Young Master was a demon! Our Diao Deyi only slew that demon!" Jie Yuxue said, standing in front of Fang Yu for protection.

Fang Yu said nothing, and Lin Lai only smiled gently, shaking his head.

"Some things aren't for us to decide. Besides... was Lord Sheng truly a demon?"

As he said the latter half, Lin Lai's eyes stared straight at Fang Yu.

"He was a demon," Fang Yu calmly said.

"..."

Lin Lai was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Fang Yu to say that.

Once he came to his senses, he smiled freely.

"Is that so, seems my eyes aren't that good."

This time Fang Yu didn't respond, and Lin Lai didn't wait for a reaction from Fang Yu either. He turned back to the Lin Family team, leading the remaining Lin Family members towards their direction.

Tonight's events, he certainly had a lot of information to report to the Lin Family's higher-ups.

Zhuo Xueer also returned to the team from the support of several people at this time.

"What did Lord Zhang Zhenyi say?"

Fang Yu asked curiously.

Zhuo Xueer looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Just told us to return to the Foolish Underworld as soon as possible. Let's go, it's not safe to stay here long."

A team marched out with high spirits.

Now, with casualties and injuries, there was no combat strength to speak of.

In such a dangerous battlefield, if they didn't quickly return to the Foolish Underworld, they're likely to die here.

After all, this wasn't a small skirmish battleground, but an area near the Lin Family where high-level power clashes occurred.

These small fishes could complete their tasks smoothly in such an area, which was already impressive. What more could they do?

Retreat quickly to save their lives; that was the right path.

Zhuo Xueer led the team, and Fang Yu's group started to retreat.

Fang Yu only hoped to encounter fewer Great Demons on the way, otherwise, in his current state, it was hard to say if he could withstand it.

Watching Zhuo Xueer and the Lin Family divide into two teams and leave, Duan Baiman slowly spoke.

"That Lin Sheng wasn't a demon."

Zhang Zhenyi remained expressionless.

"I know."

"You know?"

"We've dealt with demons for so many years; I can't tell if a corpse is human or demon?"

"Then why did you..."

"It doesn't matter anymore. The Lin Family people, they all deserve to die! Besides, the ones who survived are from our Foolish Underworld, right?"

"..."

Duan Baiman sighed; this guy's hatred for the Lin Family was too extreme.

But one thing was right.

And that was, the ones who survived were from the Foolish Underworld.

Protecting your own doesn't need a reason.

"Just so you know, if the Hall Masters ask, I'm going to tell it like it is."

Duan Baiman gave a heads-up.

Zhang Zhenyi said nothing, which was a tacit approval, and then he changed the subject.

"Let's go. My team's areas under the deputy captains have basically been investigated. Now we should go to the areas of your Rain Team."

Duan Baiman's lips curled up slightly.

"Sure, I can check out how my girls performed tonight."

The Captain didn't have no tasks.

It's just that their tasks were completed relatively early, which gave them the capacity to inspect their subordinates.

If not for taking care of himself, Duan Baiman could have gone to check on the Rain Team's situation already.

For this, Zhang Zhenyi was grateful for Duan Baiman's actions.

Because this wasn't a demand from above, but rather her personal actions.

To be honest, tonight, when Duan Baiman suddenly appeared beside him, Zhang Zhenyi was a bit surprised.

Due to his injured body, he wasn't assigned any important tasks, just patrolling and acting as an emergency responder.

But Duan Baiman had his own task, yet he came to find him immediately after completing it.

Seeing Duan Baiman already stepping forward, Zhang Zhenyi suddenly spoke.

"Baiman... thank you."

Duan Baiman paused for a moment, then continued walking as if he hadn't heard, but his steps were noticeably lighter.

However, before the two could walk a few more steps...

Boom!!!

A loud explosion suddenly boomed not far to the side.

The two of them looked towards the sound, and their faces immediately changed slightly.
