While Ling Yun was dual cultivating with Yi Mingxia, Mo Hongling was busy looking for Yun Mingyue and Ling Xiya. After she had circled the entire city of Hangzhou, she still couldn't find them.
However, Mo Hongling suddenly stopped when she couldn't detect Su Fei's house people, and she muttered to herself. "How is this possible? How can there be someone so strong in this place? I can't even detect that house with my senses."
Not satisfied with that, Mo Hongling attempted to detect Su Fei's home again, but this time her senses were instantly knocked back, followed by a powerful attack.
"Shit!" Mo Hongling cursed, but she didn't have time to dodge the attack, and it directly hit her body, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood from her mouth. Without waiting any longer, she turned into black smoke and instantly disappeared from the scene.
Soon, four women appeared at the scene, and Lei Lin asked with a frown. "Hey, Big Sis! Isn't that the escape technique of the people of that race?"
Ling Xi nodded to her. "You're right. It's indeed their special escape technique; not even I can't thwart it."
"Is that technique so special?" Xiao Xiao asked, and she was shocked that she and Ling Xi couldn't catch up to Mo Hongling, even though their speed was already breakneck.
"En." Ling Xi immediately answered her. "She sacrificed quite a bit of her essence to use that technique, and she could just disappear with it."
"What race is that woman, Senior?" Shi Yao asked politely, and she was still surprised by Ling Xi's sudden appearance, plus she could feel that she was much stronger than her.
Ling Xi sighed softly. "That woman is a genuine cultivator from this realm, but a devil cultivator from the Myriad Devil Race is helping the Mo Clan from behind the scenes. Otherwise, she won't be able to use that race's escape technique."
"Myriad Devil Race?" Xiao Xiao and Shi Yao asked in confusion.
"Forget it." Ling Xi shook her head at them. "The devil cultivators of the Myriad Devil Race come from the higher Realm; they are powerful and possess some unique techniques, such as the escape technique that the woman used just now. Even I have difficulty finding their hiding places, let alone you are natives of this realm."
After that, they returned to the house and waited for Ling Yun to finish dual cultivating with Yi Mingxia.
.

"Cough!" Mo Hongling suddenly appeared at Mo Yu's home and again vomited blood, startling him and Mo Shi.
Mo Shi then asked her. "What happened to you? Why did you use that technique?"
"That damn Ling Xiao!" Mo Hongling cursed as she wiped the blood off her mouth. "I can't find his wife and daughter in that city, but I'm sure of one thing."
"What's that?"
"I found a house protected by strong cultivators, and I'm sure that he left his wife and daughter in their hands." Mo Hongling replied as she began to circulate her qi because the previous attack had left her quite severely injured, plus she also used the escape technique, making her injury even worse. "Let me stabilize my injury first, and we will see Ling Xiao. After this, I will definitely kill that traitor."
The two men frowned upon hearing that, and Mo Yu spoke confidently. "If that's true, it means that Ling Xiao did betray us. Otherwise, he wouldn't be leaving his wife and daughter in the hands of those strong cultivators."
"Yes." Mo Shi nodded in agreement with him. "Anyway, you should be prepared to take over Ling Xiao's wealth and authority in the government."
"I see what you mean, elder." Mo Shi then explained it to him. "I can take over his authority easily, but we can't take over his wealth just like that. After all, the outside world has different laws, and we still need his wife and daughter to do that. Moreover, if we attack ordinary people, the guardian will take action against us, which will be to our detriment."
Mo Shi nodded in understanding, he also understood their situation, and they couldn't act rashly in the outside world, especially with the guardian keeping an eye on everything. "It's fine; you can take over his authority first. As for his wealth, I'm sure his wife and daughter will definitely appear if they hear that Ling Xiao is dead, and we will capture them later."
Sometime later, Mo Hongling opened her eyes and stood up, speaking angrily. "Let's meet that traitor right now; I can't wait to kill him."
The two men exchanged glances for a moment, then flew to follow Mo Hongling, who had already flown away impatiently.
.
.
At first, they were looking for Ling Xiao in his company, but he had already returned, so they immediately headed to his house.
Upon their arrival, Mo Hongling, filled with rage, instantly killed Ling Xiao's men, including Ming Han and Lu Hao.
Since they were all cultivators, the guardian made no move to stop them, as his/her job was only to protect ordinary people, and he/she would not meddle in other cultivators' affairs.
*Bam*
"Gah!" Ling Xiao spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth after his body was slammed against the wall with a bang, and he asked with difficulty. "Cough... Cough... Why did you guys suddenly attack me and kill my people?"
"You still dare to question our reasons?" Mo Hongling moved quickly and strangled Ling Xiao by the neck. "Tell me! Who are the strong cultivators protecting your wife and daughter?"
Ling Xiao froze at her question. At first, he believed that Mo Hongling would not be able to survive if she met Ling Xi, but he had been wrong.
But alas, Ling Xiao did not know the people of the Mo Clan very well, so he did not understand the actual depth of their strength, especially their escape techniques.
"Quickly tell me!" Mo Hongling shouted as she squeezed Ling Xiao's neck tighter, but he still couldn't tell her anything, and that was because the slave mark in his soul prevented him from saying anything.
Seeing Ling Xiao's reaction, Mo Shi raised his eyebrows and said to her. "Hongling, it's useless for you to ask him that. I suspect that something is preventing him from answering you."
"Hmm?" Mo Hongling frowned upon hearing that, but she didn't have the soul technique to check Ling Xiao's soul. "Tch! Since you're useless, then you can die now."
A black dagger appeared in her hand, and Mo Hongling stab it straight into Ling Xiao's heart, causing him to spurt blood from his mouth.
"Ugh!" Ling Xiao groaned in pain, especially since Mo Hongling twirled her dagger. Gradually, his eyes lost their shine, and he died sometime later.
*Bam*
Mo Hongling threw Ling Xiao's corpse onto the floor, and she turned around to leave right after. "Let's go! We just need to wait for his wife and daughter to appear."
Mo Shi and Mo Yu couldn't help but shake their heads, and they immediately left the Ling House.
.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman were sitting side by side in a room, but their faces were very red.
"Do you really want to do it now, Yuan Meng?"
Yuan Meng gripped the hem of her shirt tightly and nodded to him. "Since our parents have approved of our relationship, I think it's fine if we do it now."
Zhang Bing turned to her, cupped her cheeks, and kissed her lips.
Yuan Meng immediately closed her eyes, hugged his waist, and kissed him back.
However, they were suddenly startled by the sound of someone coughing, and they immediately stopped their kiss.
Zhang Bing then turned to the person and spoke with a bitter smile. "Master, why did you suddenly come here? And you came at the wrong time!"
Yuan Meng didn't say anything and buried her face in Zhang Bing's chest, embarrassed by Long Qiu's presence.
"I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend as beautiful as her." Long Qiu replied in a teasing tone. "Anyway, what's her name? Since she is your lover, what if she becomes my disciple?"
"Eh?" She looked at Long Qiu in surprise, but she replied excitedly. "My name is Yuan Meng, and I am willing to be your disciple like Zhang Bing."
Long Qiu nodded in satisfaction, and she then asked. "Do you have anything else to do tomorrow morning?"
"No, we don't have anything to do tomorrow." Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng replied at the same time.
"In that case, I want you two to come with me now, and I will take you to train somewhere else." Long Qiu spoke as she took out the same device as Ling Yun's and activated it instantly. "You two enter, and I'll follow behind you."
Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng exchanged glances for a moment, and they immediately entered the portal, and Long Qiu entered after them.
