After returning to Yantai, they soon alerted the government, the Magic Association, and the military about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. What happened next was no longer Mo Fan and the others' concern.
So many people had died, including a retired half-Forbidden Mage. It was clearly a serious blow to Yantai.
However, Outer Mount Kunyu was able to regain its peace after the Giant Purple Sacred Linden fled. Otherwise, the whole city might suddenly end up as food to the devil, far worse than what had happened!
Lingling found some clues about the Totem Beast they were looking for among Yan Shi's possessions. However, they mostly consisted of ancient words and glyphs. Lingling would have to ask experts in the relevant field to learn the meaning behind them.
Since the Moon Moth Phoenix had gone into a new life cycle, they were unable to learn more clues about the identity of the Totem Beast from the Seal they had deduced. The clues that Lingling deduced from Yan Shi's belongings were leading them to Gansu instead of Yan Shi, the same place mentioned in Jiang Shaojun's journal… the same place where Jiang Shaojun went missing. They could not help but wonder what exactly had happened to him while he was searching for the Totem Beast!
There was another Totem Beast in Yantai whose identity remained a mystery. They could not tell if it was the owner of the mysterious feather or a different creature. Either way, they learned from Yan Shi's belongings that the Totem Beast once lived at the top of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden, and it seemed to be stronger than both the Moon Moth Phoenix and the demon tree!

”Why does it feel like nothing good ever happens when I'm with you? It's like we just keep stirring up hornets' nests!” Zhao Manyan grumbled as they waited in the hall of Penglai International Airport.
”Do you think I'm a fan of that? Well, at least we know the Giant Purple Sacred Linden and the Moon Moth Phoenix are somehow related to the Totem Beast we were looking for. We just have to wait until Lingling finds some new clues,” Mo Fan replied.
”I thought you said we were going to make a fortune?” Zhao Manyan said.
”Aren't these enough?” Mo Fan swiped his hand to reveal the storage space of his Space Element.
One of the benefits of having the Space Element was that Mo Fan did not need to carry a backpack around. He could create a storage space for himself, and the higher his cultivation, the higher the capacity of the storage. Mo Fan's storage space was the size of a small truck. It was like a super mobile suitcase!
”Demon crests? Holy cow, where did you get all these demon crests?” Zhao Manyan stared at the space filled with a special kind of leaf in disbelief.
”I conveniently picked them up!” Mo Fan replied smugly.
Another benefit of having the Space Element was how he could retrieve things with ease. He was able to split his will into dozens of hands to retrieve any loot as he wished!
”My Heavens, how bold were you, having the guts to retrieve them under such dire circumstances?!” Zhao Manyan was utterly impressed by Mo Fan's courage. He was overwhelmed with fear merely hearing about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden.
”Humans die in pursuit of wealth, just like birds die in pursuit of food.” Mo Fan grieved for the people that died, but it did not stop him from taking the loot. Besides, Yan Shi's destructive spells were going to destroy them all if he had not taken them.
”What a pity. If only more people listened to us and left when they had the chance. It wouldn't have ended like that....”

After returning to the Magic City, Mo Fan sold the demon crests to another company.
