"...Maybe my younger sister can recover her memories from seeing the past."
Thinking so, Teng Gang suddenly lit up and retraced his gaze back to the screen over his head.
As Zhao Ling'er' had a single remnant soul fragment left, she had almost completely forgotten her past and was muddled all the time.
Now, if Zhao Ling'er saw what she had experienced precisely in the past through the screen, she might be able to recover her memory and regain her past vitality.
Teng Gang cautiously said, "Younger sister, look at the sky… Can you remember anything?"
Zhao Ling'er slowly raised her head. When she saw Lin Yan's figure in the sky, she shouted in surprise, "Big brother, it's big brother! …He is waiting for us!"
"Why do you keep calling him big brother? He's the one who caused you to become like this, ah." Teng Gang helplessly sighed.
Seeing that Zhao Ling'er was still muddled, Teng Gang's expression turned icy-cold, and he raised his head to look at the screen in the sky.
…
(Within the screen in the starry sky)
Soon, Lin Yan showed up in a city named Yanhui City.
Hiding his aura, Lin Yan walked like a mortal on the street.
At the moment, the information that the former Heavenly Emperor handed him kept resurfacing in his mind.
…
The Heavenly Palace's Devil Hunting Squads were eight, each named after the Eight Trigrams of the Ascendant.
Among them, the Devil-hunting squad Lin Yan was going to lead was named Zhen.
Actually, every Devil hunting squad should have at least one immortal expert as per the rules.
However, the present Heavenly Palace could no longer find so many immortals.
Thus, only four squads among the eight Devil Hunting Squads had the strongest combat power.
In comparison, the remaining four Devil Hunting Squad had no immortal experts to lead, and the strongest cultivator was only in Sage Realm.
This caused severe casualties in recent years.
Witnessing Lin Yan destroy Six Demon Kingdoms in a row, showing a battle power comparable to an immortal, the former Heavenly Emperor decided to send him to lead a Devil Hunting Squad.
…
Lin Yan walked into a mortal restaurant within Yanhui City.
According to the information given by the former Heavenly Emperor, the Extraterrestrial Devils wouldn't only possess cultivators but also don't spare the lives of mortals in their vicinity.
Therefore, most of the time, the Heavenly Palace's Devil Hunting Squad lurked among these mortals so that they could easily find the Extraterrestrial Devil.
At this moment, Lin Yan was looking for the Zhen Devil Hunting Squad.
It was located on top of this mortal tavern, and Lin Yan walked up the stairs to the restaurant's second floor.
The scene on the second floor immediately appeared in front of Lin Yan.
His gaze swept over the place and landed on the table by the window.
At this table, three men and one woman sat in a cultivation posture.
…
"Big brother Teng Gang, it's sister Ling'er."
Looking at the four cultivators that appeared on the screen over his head, Lin Feng's eyes instantly widened.
Two of the four people who appeared on the screen at this moment were Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er.
Especially Zhao Ling'er, within the screen, wasn't the current miserable remnant soul fragment.
She looked gorgeous and quirky, with a hint of mischief on her pretty face.
Compared to Xiao Yanran, Xiao Mei, and others, Zhao Ling'er was like a playful little sister next door, a simple and seductive type.
…
Everyone stared at Teng Gang with a somewhat surprised expression.
Although they had long known that Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er were the Heavenly Emperor's sworn brother and sister, everyone thought they ran into each other sooner or later but didn't expect them to meet under such circumstances.
"That was our first meeting with the Heavenly Emperor. When we learned that he was our captain, don't mention how happy we were ...."
Looking at the screen over his head, Teng Gang smiled bitterly, recollecting his memories of the days back then.
"We were discussing what that ruthless man who wiped out Six Great Demon Kingdoms in one day looked like, and we didn't expect him to stand right next to us and wait for us to finish instead of stopping us …"
…
(Within the screen of the starry sky)
Just as Teng Gang said, Lin Yan entered the second floor without alerting Teng Gang and the others in the slightest.
Although Teng Gang was also a Sage Realm at this moment, Lin Yan's strength was much stronger than him. Thus, Teng Gang didn't even sense that Lin Yan was also a cultivator.
Lin Yan walked to the four as if nothing had happened and sat at the table next to them.
Just as he sat down, the muttering voices of Teng Gang's and others immediately reached his ears.
"The Heavenly Emperor is finally going to send us a captain. If we don't have a captain to lead us, I'm afraid we won't last a few years."
"This new captain of ours is said to be that ruthless person who destroyed the Six Great Demon Kingdoms in one day. With him leading us, we will definitely be much safer in the future."
"Compared to this, I'm more curious about what our new captain will look like. I heard people say that the captain is very handsome and almost unparalleled."
…
While Zhao Ling'er was joyfully discussing the captain's appearance, she suddenly saw Lin Yan opposite her. So she quietly lowered her head and said, "You guys look at that person opposite us. I think the captain won't be more handsome than him."
The three glanced at Lin Yan and were dumbfounded by his perfect appearance.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ling'er continued to mutter.
After waiting most of the day, all four got impatient. "What's going on? Didn't you tell us that we are here to greet the new captain? Why hasn't he come by now?"
"Could it be that the new captain is dissatisfied with us and deliberately left us to hang around?"
"That's a possibility, or shall we look for him?" Teng Gang and others began to get up, intending to look for him.
Lin Yan waited for people to move out of the inn; only then did he slowly get up.
Reaching out his hand, he tapped on the shoulders of the four people of Teng Gang at once.
Heaven and the earth circled on the five people and they disappeared from this inn.
Outside Yanhui City, the figures of several people reappeared on a small hill.
…
"Captain." Teng Gang was the first to react and look at Lin Yan. He was surprised and took the initiative to salute.
Zhao Ling'er, the three of them, also stared at once.
Especially Zhao Ling'er, a hint of sweet red surfaced on her fair face.
Just now, she was nonchalant, discussed Lin Yan's looks loudly, and even said he was handsome.
This handsome man had now become her captain.
Zhao Ling'er froze momentarily as her face blushed red in embarrassment, tipping her head down.
But no matter how embarrassed Zhao Ling'er was, she stood straight and introduced herself, "Captain, I'm Zhao Ling'er, I'm in the Dao Attainment realm."
The other three also introduced themselves separately.
Except for Teng Gang, the other two cultivators of the Devil Hunting Squad were named Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian.
Among them, Teng Gang was in the Sage realm while Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian, like Zhao Ling'er, were still in the Dao Attainment realm.
When the three finished introducing themselves, Lin Yan only smiled faintly and said, "I'm Lin Yan, Half-step Immortal Realm Cultivator. From now on we will cooperate and hunt the Extraterrestrial Devils."
That's right, Lin Yan's cultivation had a breakthrough again.
He had successfully reached the Half-Step Immortal Realm and was only one step away from becoming a true immortal.
"The Half-Step Immortal… Captain, we shall follow your orders from now on."
Hearing Lin Yan who was already in the Half-step Immortal, Zhao Ling'er, and the others were lighted up instantly.
Almost everyone in the entire Lingxuan Continent knew that the captain in front of him destroyed the Six Great Demon Kingdoms and killed six immortals when he was at Saint Realm.
Now that he had a breakthrough into the Half-step Immortal realm, his strength must have risen to the sky.
For these Devil Hunting Squads, having such a captain was the utmost happiness.
…
The next time, this Devil Hunting Squad constantly began to patrol the Lingxuan Continent.
The Extraterrestrial Devils were powerful in their ability to possess bodies and couldn't be found from the outside alone.
Even with the Goddess's blessing or cultivating, the Devil Tracking Technique needed to get close to each other to a certain distance to sense these possessed Extraterrestrial Devils.
The Devil Hunting Squad could only use the most primitive method to search for these Extraterrestrial Devils.
That was to follow the map.
They had to search down one area by one area.
Although this search method was safe, the efficiency was incredibly slow in the next three years.
The screen showed Lin Yan with Teng Gang and others searching for Extraterrestrial Devils everywhere under the sky.
But they couldn't find even a single Extraterrestrial Devil from the beginning to the end.
…
Seeing Lin Yan and others work in vain on the screen, many already shook their heads impatiently.
No one was interested in watching such boring things. However, Teng Gang's expression turned grim at this moment.
"It's here. This is the day when we encountered a strong Extraterrestrial Devil."
