The house
"What!?" The women gathered in the living room exclaimed in shock when they saw the news about Ling Xiao's death on TV.
Ling Yin slumped on the sofa, and Yi Mingzhu immediately hugged her. Her eyes kept staring at the tv screen, and tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. Even though her relationship with Ling Xiao was not good, she did not want her big brother to die. "How is this possible? Who killed my brother? They even slaughtered his people as well."
Yun Mingyue sat limply on the floor, staring at the television with an expression filled with sorrow, she had already sobbed after learning of her husband's death, and she kept muttering in disbelief. "How could this happen? Why did you leave me, husband?"
Song Mei sighed heavily and got up from her seat, and she then went to her grandson's room to wake up Yi Mingxia. After all, Ling Xiao was her ex-husband and her son's father, so she wanted to tell her about his death.
Zhao Yao, Tang Zhiyi, Duan Wu, and Liu Qiyue didn't know how to comfort them.
Unlike Kate, who seemed indifferent to the news, Shui Lan knew Ling Xiao quite well, and she still couldn't believe that someone would dare to massacre Ling Clan members. But alas, she didn't know about his cooperation with the Mo Clan.
Xiao Xiao, Lei Lin, and Shi Yao raised their eyebrows. They then looked at each other and suspected that Mo Hongling was the culprit in Ling Xiao's murder.
Before long, Yi Mingxia had arrived in the living room, and she watched the news on TV in shock. She then turned to the three senior cultivators and asked them. "Do you guys have any guesses about the identity of his killer?"
The three of them sighed heavily and nodded, and Xiao Xiao told her. "This afternoon, a woman from the Mo Clan came here, and we tried to capture her, but she managed to escape from us."
"Huh?" Those women turned to her, and Yi Mingxia asked again. "Why did she come here? And even Sister Ling Xi can't capture her?"
"The Mo Clan is supported by the devil cultivators of the Myriad Devil Race, and that woman used their special escape ability; not even Big Sis was able to capture her." Lei Lin explained to her; she then glanced at Yun Mingyue briefly before continuing. "However, Big Sis suspects it might be related to Mo Luo's death, and she probably suspects Ling Xiao has betrayed them because she couldn't find his wife and daughter, so she came here to capture them."
Yun Mingyue was even more shocked by Lei Lin's explanation. She knew that her husband was in cahoots with the Mo Clan, and they were the ones who supported him all along. 'Sigh, if Ling Yun had not kept us here, things would not have turned out like this.'
Yun Mingyue's thoughts were not wrong, and if they were in Beijing, Mo Hongling would not suspect Ling Xiao, nor would he come to Hangzhou. Unfortunately, it was too late, and her husband was dead now.
Liu Qiyue suddenly spoke. "Sister Mingxia, that woman is Mo Hongling, and she was the one who disfigured my face before. She and Mo Shi often come to Beijing to meet my ex-husband and Ling Xiao, and they also plan some bad things, so I think Sister Ling Xi's guess is correct."
"I see." Yi Mingxia nodded in understanding, and she thought deeply.

Cultivator Realm - Forest
*Splurt*
After fighting a bear beast in the Lower Core Realm for quite a while, Ling Yun finally managed to kill it and breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew! My fighting skills are dull compared to Big Sis Xiao; I even used a lot of qi to kill this beast."
"That's because your way of fighting is inefficient, and you wasted many chances to easily kill the beast." Ling Xi spoke as she floated around him.
"Sigh, you're right; I must keep practicing to hone my combat abilities." Ling Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows. [What happened, Mom? Why did you suddenly contact me?]
[Yun'er, your father is dead.] Yi Mingxia replied with a heavy sigh.
Ling Yun was shocked upon hearing that, and Ling Xi also raised her eyebrows. Since their souls were bound to each other, she could hear Yi Mingxia's words.
[When did that happen, mom?]
[According to the news, the incident was this afternoon.]
[I see, but who is the killer?] Yi Mingxia then explained everything to him. [I'll call you back later; I'll meet Ling'er and Xiya now.]
[All right.] Yi Mingxia immediately cut off the harem connection.
Ling Yun sighed heavily after that, he didn't care if Ling Xiao died, but he had to think about the feelings of his two sisters.
Ling Xi grabbed Ling Yun's shoulder, and she then gathered the women who were in training in the forest in one place.
After they gathered, Ling Yun looked at his two sisters and told them. "Ling Xiao is dead."
"What?" Not only was Ling Ling shocked by that, but even Ye Jing and Yi Shu were also shocked after hearing it.
As for Ling Xiya, she didn't look the least bit sad about her father's death. But instead, she looked relieved at her father's death, especially after she knew that Ling Xiao wanted to give her to Mo Luo. If it wasn't for Ling Yun, she would already be his cultivation furnace, and she would live a miserable life by now.
Although Ling Ling hates her father very much and she also wants to overthrow him, it doesn't mean that she wants Ling Xiao to die. Soon, her cold qi spread throughout the forest, and the temperature dropped drastically, causing almost the entire area to freeze.
'What the hell? How could Ling'er's ice qi be this strong?' Yi Shu muttered in shock in her heart.
Sensing that, Feng Xing immediately enveloped Yi Shu, Ye Jing, and Ling Xiya with her fire qi. Since she was a half-phoenix, her flames could counteract Ling Ling's cold qi.
Ling Ling looked at her little brother and asked in a cold tone. "Do you know the killer, Yun'er?"
Ling Yun sighed heavily and hugged his big sister, but she struggled to break free from her embrace, and he spoke in a deep tone. "Calm down and pull back your aura first."
Ling Ling stopped struggling after Ling Yun said that; she immediately withdrew her aura and buried her face into his chest, and she cried loudly.
After the cold qi dissipated, Feng Xing also withdrew her qi, and they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Who? Who is the killer?" Ling Ling asked again as she continued to cry.
"Two days ago, I killed Mo Luo, the person from the Mo Clan assigned to help Ling Xiao, so I thought it had something to do with his death, and Ling Xi also suspected that the culprit was Mo Hongling." Ling Yun explained it to her. "However, you mustn't act recklessly, the Mo Clan is a bunch of heretical cultivators, and they are powerful."
"Mo Clan, huh?" Ling Ling muttered to herself, and she looked up at Ling Xi. "Are you sure Mo Hongling is the killer, Big Sis?"
"One hundred percent!" Ling Xi nodded and told him about the incident this afternoon.
Ling Ling then said to his little brother. "Yun'er, help me find Mo Hongling; I want to kill him with my hands."
"I know how you feel, Ling'er. But for now, you can't do anything to her, and you'll die in vain if you have to face her now. Do you understand?" Ling Yun said sternly, and he really didn't want Ling Ling to act recklessly.
"I understand." Ling Ling answered weakly; she also realized that Ling Yun's words were indeed true. She was still too weak and couldn't do anything to avenge her father's death.
Ling Yun then opened his map and searched for Mo Hongling's whereabouts in the Ling House and Chang House, but he could not find her there. "Can you trace that woman's whereabouts, Ling Xi?"
Ling Xi shook her head and replied. "I think the devil cultivator gave her access to a special realm, so I can't trace her whereabouts."
Ling Yun and the others could only sigh at Ling Xi's reply, he then contacted Feng Ruxue and Su Fei and informed them of Ling Xiao's death, and he wanted to bring the others back to the outside world to go to Beijing.
After he got their answer, Ling Yun immediately took out his device and activated it, and they immediately returned home.
At the same time, Su Fei also used her device. She wanted to accompany Ling Yun and the others to go to Beijing.
However, since it was almost midnight, and they were also tired after practicing in the forest for quite a while, they decided to rest first and go to Beijing the following day.
Ling Yun then took his big sister to her room and slept with her, and Ling Xiya went to her room to accompany Yun Mingyue, who was still very sad over her father's death.
