Su Fei shook her head. "If you really want to die, you can attack us now. However, not only will you die, but your Ling Clan will also be wiped out."
"You dare threaten me?" Ling Ming asked with a frown as he released his aura to suppress them.
Ling Jie looked confused at Su Fei, confused about her confidence. Obviously, his father could kill them easily.
"There's no point in talking to a senile old man like him, Fei'er." Ling Yun finally spoke; he already knew from the beginning of Ling Ming's cultivation level, because he couldn't fool the system. "He's too arrogant to realize the situation before him."
"What!?" They were shocked to hear that Ling Yun could still speak calmly, even though Ling Ming had already used his cultivation to suppress them.
As for Su Fei, they thought that Feng Ruxue gave her an artifact that enabled her to withstand his pressure.
"Do you realize it now?"
Ling Ming was so shocked by the situation before him; he looked at Ling Yun in disbelief. Moreover, he still couldn't sense his cultivation and muttered as his lips trembled. "How is this possible?"
Ling Yu'er looked at Ling Yun in a daze; she really couldn't believe Ling Yun's abilities. She knew that her grandfather's cultivation was extremely high, yet he was completely unaffected by it. 'Did I make the wrong decision?'
"Mingyue, Xiya, and Ling'er! You guys can take over Ling Technology Enterprise first because the company is the right of the three of you." Ling Xi used a bit of her aura to deter them, making them tremble in fright, and Ling Yun looked at Huo Lan. 'Do you think I would let you take possession of their inheritance?' "As for you, I will definitely take revenge on you after sending an assassin to kill me in the future."
Ling Ming turned to his daughter-in-law with a frown; he didn't know that Huo Lan had once sent an assassin to kill Ling Yun. Ling Jie sighed heavily and explained everything, causing him to frown even more.
'Damn it! Everything is messed up now.' Huo Lan could only curse in her heart seeing her father-in-law's expression, but she didn't dare say anything to him.
Ling Ling then grabbed his hand. "But Yun'er-"
Ling Yun waved his hand and shook his head. "Mom and I don't care about the company; it belongs to the three of you. If you need help, I'll send Yao'er to help you."
Ling Ling sighed softly. "All right, we will stay in Beijing to take care of the company first, the situation there must be chaotic with father's sudden death, and you can send Big Sister Yao here to help us."
Ling Ming and Ling Jie didn't say anything after they felt pressured by Ling Xi's aura; they realized that there was someone powerful was protecting them.
Ling Yun glanced at them and opened a portal into the Yin-Yang Chamber, causing Ling's father and son to be even more shocked, as they had never seen such a technique.
"You guys come in, we're going back to Hangzhou right now." Ling Yun said to the Yi Sisters and the others.
They nodded and walked inside, but Ling Yin stopped and turned to her niece. "Aren't you coming with us, Yu'er?"
"I-" Ling Yu'er hesitated to follow them or to stay with her family.
"Don't go with them, Yu'er!" Ling Ming shouted loudly to his granddaughter; he didn't want his remaining granddaughter to be like them.
Ling Yun then pushed Ling Yin in gently and closed the portal, and Ling Xi carried him away from the Ling House.
Ling Yu'er felt lost seeing Ling Yun fly away without saying anything to her; she slumped limply to the floor and burst into tears.
'Sigh, it looks like Yu'er is already captivated by him.' Ling Jie sighed heavily, seeing his daughter.
'When you are ready to accept such a relationship, you can come to meet me in Hangzhou, and I will definitely welcome you.' The sound transmission from Ling Yun startled Ling Yu'er; she laughed and cried simultaneously.
Seeing his daughter like that, Huo Lan frowned. 'Damn it! Why must Yu'er be attracted to that bastard!'
After some time, Ling Ming and the others brought the coffin containing Ling Xiao's corpse to the cremation site and decided to cremate it.
After all the proceedings were completed, Ling Ming brought Ling Xiao's ashes back to the Ling Clan, and he paid no heed to Yun Mingyue, Ling Xiya, and Ling Ling.
Ling Jie and Ling Yu'er immediately followed her, but Huo Lan stared at them with hostility.
After he arrived in Hangzhou, Ling Yun immediately escorted his grandmother and the Yi Sisters home. Then he brought Feng Xing, Yi Shu, Su Fei, and Ye Jing to pick up Zhao Yao and escorted her to Beijing.
Ling Yun then brought the other women to the forest in the Cultivator Realm to train again, and Su Fei returned to the Feng Clan to learn more about alchemy.
Ling Yun hunted beasts accompanied by Ling Xi, Yi Shu trained alone in another area, and Feng Xing also trained Ye Jing to hunt beasts.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao accompanies Ling Ling and the others to the Ling Technology Enterprise for a meeting with the shareholders who are still confused by Ling Xiao's sudden death.
As for Yun Mingyue, she chose to stay in the Ling House, and she still felt despondent over her husband's death.
Even though Ling Ling was Ling Xiao's first daughter, those shareholders couldn't accept her just like that, especially since she was so young and inexperienced, so they kept suppressing her.
Luckily, she had Zhao Yao beside her to help Ling Ling deal with those shareholders. In the end, those people gave up and chose to give her time to prove her worth.
"Huh...! The meeting really makes me tired!" Ling Ling groaned in annoyance. "I really want to freeze those shareholders!"
The other two women chuckled at her words, and Zhao Yao said to her as she combed Ling Xiya's hair. "It's only natural that they would try to suppress you, Ling'er. Even though you are Ling Xiao's eldest daughter, you are too young and inexperienced in business."
"You are right, Big Sis Yao. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know how to deal with them either, or maybe they'd be frozen by now." Ling Ling replied with a wry laugh; she really felt impatient in dealing with those shareholders. She then turned to them and looked at them strangely, especially Ling Xiya's attitude which was much different from before. As she recalled, she had never been that close to Yun Mingyue, but she looked so spoiled with Zhao Yao.
"Why are you looking at us like that?" Ling Xiya asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ling Ling shook her head. "You were never even close to your mother, but now you're acting so spoiled with Big Sis Yao."
"Hmm?" Ling Xiya felt that her half-sister's words were half true; she did feel spoiled towards Zhao Yao. "I don't know; I just feel comfortable with her compared to my mother."
Zhao Yao herself was still confused about why Ling Xiya was so spoiled by her, but she really liked their relationship. "Isn't this great? Moreover, we belong to the same man."
"Well, that's true." Ling Ling and Ling Xiya nodded in agreement with her.

Meanwhile, in a hot desert, a man and a woman are seen training so hard, and their bodies are drenched in sweat.
On the other hand, another woman sat on a boulder as she continued to watch them practice. "Hmm? Compared to Zhang Bing, Yuan Meng is much more diligent in practicing, and her comprehension is also much higher than him."
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound from the desert and saw a group of beasts moving toward them quickly.
Seeing those beasts, Long Qiu immediately flew into the air, and two huge hammers appeared in his hands.
Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng gawked at that, especially since Long Qiu's body wasn't big, but she could wield two big weapons.
"Heh." Long Qiu snorted softly and flew at the beasts as she released her earth qi and slammed her weapons at them hard.
*boom*
A massive explosion sounded, sand scattered around after Long Qiu did that, and those beasts lay helplessly on the sand from her attack. After all, her cultivation was far above those of the beasts.
"Master is truly amazing!" Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng exclaimed in admiration after they saw that.
"Haha! You don't have to look at me like that." Long Qiu said as she turned her head towards them. However, she suddenly felt an intense pressure pressing down on her, causing her to kneel on one knee. "Ugh! This pressure is much stronger than my old man."
"Master! Behind you!" Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng shouted as they pointed at a beast with the body of a horse but the head of a dragon floating in the air.
Soon, the beast turned into a woman with waist-length pink hair wearing a long sleeveless white dress; the top of the white dress was revealing, making her breasts stick out, and they could see her smooth white jade skin.
Her face is gorgeous, like a westerner; she has two sparkling blue eyes with two thin eyebrows and a sharp nose combined with charming thin lips underneath. "How did you come to have that aura on your body?"
