Upon hearing that, Ling Yun turned to her father, but Long Wei only nodded at him. "In that case, you can follow Xuanyuan Xiang'er, and she will lead you to the meeting place."
"Huh?" The people from the Long Clan were shocked when Xuanyuan Xiang'er appeared before them.
"Since when were you here?" Long Wei asked him in disbelief; not even Xuanyuan Xue'er had noticed her presence before.
Xuanyuan Xiang'er smiled wryly. "I've been here since the beginning, Patriarch Long. However, my Master used something on me, so no one noticed my presence."
Long Wei, Xiao Xi, and Yu Die turned to Ling Yun in shock, especially after they heard Xuanyuan Xiang'er address him as her Master.
Ling Yun gave a soft laugh seeing their reaction like that. "Long story short, Xue'er sent her to spy on me. Since she was Mo Tian's spy, so I enslaved her."
Hearing Mo Tian's name, Long Yuyi became even more furious, and she took out her spear to attack Xuanyuan Xiang'er.
However, Ling Yun immediately grabbed her spear. "Long Yuyi, I don't care if you want to seek revenge on Mo Tian. But as I said before, Xiang'er is my slave, so I won't let you do anything to her."
"Let go of my spear!" Long Yuyi shouted as she tried to pull the spear out of Ling Yun's hand, but she could not, especially since his arm strength was solid.
Yu Die sighed, seeing that. "Yuyi, you have no problem with Xiang'er, so you shouldn't act like this, and you can focus on Mo Tian."
"I-" Long Yuyi did not continue her words and nodded to them, and Ling Yun directly released her spear.
However, Long Yuyi was also shocked by Ling Yun's strength, especially since her own strength was not weak, and her cultivation base was several levels above him, but she couldn't shake him off. 'How does he train his physique? How come his arms are so strong?'
Long Wei suddenly laughed and patted Ling Yun on the shoulder. "I don't know how you trained your physique, but I know your physique is very strong, so I want to spar with you without using our cultivation someday, and we will only use our physical strength."
"All right, I will go to the Long Clan soon, and we will spar later." Ling Yun agreed to his words without hesitation, for he wanted to face an opponent as physically strong as him, and Long Wei had trained his physique for hundreds of years.
Long Wei nodded satisfactorily at Ling Yun's answer; he then turned to Xuanyuan Xiang'er. "In that case, you can lead us to the meeting place, or we will lose our chance to capture Mo Tian."
"En." Xuanyuan Xiang'er nodded and flew away, and the people from the Long Clan immediately followed her.
Ling Yun then said to his wife. "Ruxue, you can also go with them, and Ling Xi will follow you guys to read Mo Tian's memories. As for me, I want to talk to Ying'er first."
Since many strong cultivators were going to the meeting place, so Ling Yun decided on it, especially since he had nothing important to do with Mo Tian except to read his memories, and Ling Xi could do it by herself.
Feng Ruxue nodded in agreement; she and Ling Xi immediately flew away, following them.
Ling Yun then turned to Nangong Ying'er, who had been silent all along; he then grabbed her cheeks. "Honestly, I enjoyed our time in the past; your body is quite extraordinary. Unfortunately, you are too ambitious and consistently sacrifice others to fulfill your ambitions."
"Why are you blocking Xue'er from reading my memories?" Nangong Ying'er finally asked.
Ling Yun chuckled at that. "Hey, all of your sect members are valuable assets to me, so I can't possibly hand them over to other cultivators, right?"
"You!" Nangong Ying'er was furious after hearing that, and she definitely understood what Ling Yun's words meant.
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed, seeing her expression. "Don't worry; they will also become my slaves in the future. However, I won't do anything to them now, or else I won't be able to control myself."
Nangong Ying'er took a deep breath and glared at Ling Yun. "I didn't expect you, who used to be so kind and gentle, but now turned so cruel."
"Is that so?" Ling Yun asked with a faint smirk. "However, you're right; I realized that I've changed. After all, the cultivation world is full of people like you, so I must adapt my mindset to the current situation, right?"
"What do you want from me now? Do you intend to use my body as your cultivation furnace?" Nangong Ying'er asked him.
"Heh." Ling Yun snorted at that. "Back then, I was just an ignorant guy, so I enjoyed having sex with you, but you disgusts me so much now. Do you think I want to touch a woman who has slept with dozens of men? I admit that your body and Yin Qi are strong enough to be my cultivation furnace, but I don't need you, for I have many women who are far better than you by my side."
Nangong Ying'er was truly enraged upon hearing that, and it was the first time a man had looked down on her so much. However, she could only swallow back her anger, especially since she couldn't do anything to Ling Yune because of his slave mark.
Ling Yun just smiled at Nangong Ying'er, took out the device, and opened the portal to those blessed people's realm. He explained all the tasks to her. "So you can go there now, and report everything you get to me asap, got it?"
Nangong Ying'er was still glaring at Ling Yun, she didn't expect that he would use her to spy on her kind, but she didn't say anything and directly entered the portal.
After that, Ling Yun closed the portal, stored the device again, and immediately left.
However, an old man and woman suddenly intercepted Ling Yun, shocking him. 'Damn it! They must be those old cultivators.'
They didn't say anything to him directly, but Ling Yun could feel they were looking into his soul. However, both of them gasped in shock when something from deep within his soul stopped them, and they could not probe his soul further.
Ling Yun then cupped his hands and respectfully asked them. "What can I do for you, Seniors?"
"So you are that man named Ling Yun?" The old man asked him back.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to him.
The old woman then introduced themselves. "My name is Shi Xiaoyin, and this old man is Xuanyuan Hongtian."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun was shocked to hear that and became wary of Xuanyuan Hongtian. He was afraid that he already knew that he had enslaved Xuanyuan Xiang'er.
However, Ling Yun's fear immediately disappeared after hearing Xuanyuan Hongtian's following words. "We just arrived and overheard your conversation with that woman just now, so we decided to see you, and we know that you are the one who passed all that information on to Little Bing'er and Little Yujie."
"I see." Ling Yun sighed in relief in his heart. "Indeed, I gave them all the information, but I don't have complete information about the strength of those blessed people and demons yet."
"Regardless, they were useful for the future of the Cultivator Realm, or else we would all be unaware of their plans." Shi Xiaoyin said to him with a smile.
Ling Yun then asked her. "Does that mean you are the ancestor of the Shi Clan?"
"Oh?" Shi Xiaoyin was slightly surprised to hear that. "Do you have a relationship with a member of my clan?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "Shi Yao is my mother-in-law, and Liu Qiyue is one of my wives."
Shi Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she then let out a heavy sigh. "There aren't many members of my clan left, especially after those blessed people massacred them in the past. However, I'm truly grateful to hear of an extraordinary young man like you becoming my clan's son-in-law."
Ling Yun frowned upon hearing that, for he didn't know anything about the history of the Shi Clan, so he was shocked to hear that they were slaughtered by those blessed people. "No wonder my mother-in-law was furious when she heard that Shi Jingtian was cooperating with those blessed people."
"What did you just say?" Shi Xiaoyin asked in a high tone. "Is it true that one of my clan members cooperates with those evil people?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded and said to her. "However, you don't need to think about that, Senior. My mother-in-law has brought Shi Jingtian to the land of the Shi Clan, and she has also killed him there to honor those who died at the hands of those people."
After hearing that, Shi Xiaoyin's anger subsided instantly. "That's good, a traitor does not need to be forgiven, and Shi Yao has done the right thing by killing him on our land."
Xuanyuan Hongtian suddenly interrupted them. "We should go to Old Xiao's place now; they should all be waiting for us now."
"All right." However, before they left, Shi Xiaoyin handed a plaque to Ling Yun. "Since you are the son-in-law of my clan, you can use that to contact me if you are in danger."
"Thank you, Senior." Even though Ling Yun felt he didn't need it, he accepted it, and the two people immediately left him.
