"So you're Mo Hongling from the Mo Clan? You look really disgusting." A man's voice sounded from within the scattered dust, starting them. Ling Ling and the others were stunned upon hearing that voice, but they were also relieved because Ling Yun had finally arrived.
The black qi in Mo Hongling's body erupted, and she was enraged by Ling Yun's ridicule. She waved her hand, causing all the scattered dust to disappear.
Ling Yun was already standing at the previous location of Mo Hongling with Lian Bing in his embrace, and he said to Ling Ling and others. "Sorry I'm late, but a rat is hiding not far from here. Unfortunately, he managed to escape using his escape technique."
Lian Bing looked up at him slightly, and her face turned red as this was the first time a man had hugged her. Moreover, she was aware of her disheveled appearance, and Ling Yun could also see her body clearly.
"Devil Qi, Huh?" Ling Yun muttered softly after seeing the black Qi within Lian Bing's body, the same qi that had injured Long Qiu before.
Mo Hongling gasped at Ling Yun's muttering, and it was obvious that her eyes were trembling, and her expression was also shocked. 'How can he recognize my Devil Qi? Even Lian Bing doesn't recognize it.'
"Devil Qi?" Lian Bing muttered under her breath.
"En." Ling Yun nodded and briefly explained. "The pitch-black qi in your body is Devil Qi, and it acts like poison and seal, so you don't need to be surprised if you can't use your qi."
"Are you able to expel this Devil Qi from my body?" Lian Bing asked weakly; her body and Qi were getting weaker because of it.
"Who are you?" Mo Hongling asked warily, as she could not sense Ling Yun's cultivation. 'Is he one of the strong cultivators residing in that house in Hangzhou?'
Ling Yun ignored Mo Hongling as he lowered his face and looked into Lian Bing's eyes, and his gaze made her heart flutter. "I'm sorry, but I have to do something to you."
"What-? Mhn~" Lian Bing's eyes widened in shock when Ling Yun kissed her lips, and she wanted to break free, but her body was still weak to do so, and her internal injuries were also quite serious.
However, Lian Bing was even more shocked after she felt the Devil Qi that was invading her body move out through her mouth, which Ling Yun absorbed. 'Isn't this dangerous for him?'
Not long after, the Devil Qi in Lian Bing's body was entirely absorbed by him. Ling Yun immediately parted their lips and caressed her cheek, causing her pretty face to become extremely red.
Lian Bing looked at him in a daze; she didn't expect Ling Yun to take her first kiss. Her feelings became chaotic, and her heart pounded even faster. However, she felt relieved after checking her body's state, and she could also use her ice qi again.
Ling Yun moved very quickly towards Ling Ling and the others, and he bought several pills and liquids from the system shop.

[You have successfully purchased the Large Qi Restoration Liquid x1! 100,000 C has been deducted from your account.]
Ling Yun gave them to the four women, and they immediately swallowed them up. "You guys should rest first and leave her to me."
Ling Ling suddenly pulled Lian Bing into his embrace and cried loudly. She sighed softly and hugged her back. "Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Ling Yun's darkened when he saw the dead Yun Mingyue, but Ling Xi informed him. "Her soul hasn't completely disappeared, and I've locked away her remaining soul. So let's take care of that woman first, and you can save her later."
Ling Yun nodded and walked towards Mo Hongling, and a thick white Qi enveloped his body when he used his Light Qi. Even though his Light Qi was still at a Lower Rank, but it was enough to overcome Mo Hongling's Devil Qi. Apart from that, he also released his dragon aura, causing her to feel tremendous fear.
"Light Qi?" Mo Hongling was shocked at the thick white Qi that enveloped Ling Yun's body, and she subconsciously took a step back as she felt fear towards his Light Qi. 'And what is this feeling? Why do I feel so frightened of him?'
"You have killed Ling Xiao, ruined Liu Qiyue's face, and injured Long Qiu." Ling Yun spoke as he continued to walk closer to Mo Hongling. "Since you also wanted to kill my other women, I will not spare you."
Mo Hongling didn't answer him and tried to use the escape technique, but she was too late because Ling Xi had already sealed the space around her earlier. 'Damn it! What is this? Why can't I use my technique?'
"Heh! You can do whatever you want to her; she won't be able to escape this time." Ling Xi said with a chuckle.
Ling Yun nodded and moved towards Mo Hongling, and he directly hit her abdomen with his knee. "Gah!"
*Splurt*
Mo Hongling spurted out blood and bent over to endure the pain in her abdomen, and the pitch-black covering her stomach was instantly dissipated by Ling Yun's light qi.
However, Ling Yun did not stop there; he grabbed Mo Hongling by the neck and circulated his light qi into her body.
"Argh!" Mo Hongling groaned in pain because of his action. After all, light qi was the nemesis of her devil qi, and it caused her great pain.
Lian Bing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Mo Hongling had returned to her original form and her pitch-black qi had disappeared completely. However, her face turned red again, and she rubbed her lips. 'Even though he was assisted by that senior, he is still extraordinary. His light Qi is pure, and he wasn't affected by the devil qi he absorbed from my body.'
After Mo Hongling fell unconscious, Ling Xi immediately sealed her cultivation, and she asked him. "What are you going to do with this woman?"
Ling Xi wants to know Ling Yun's plans for Mo Hongling, and she wants him to learn to take a stand against his enemies.
"Her devil qi very useful to me, right?" Ling Yun asked back.
Ling Xi nodded at him. "If you absorb her devil qi, you can break through to the core formation realm faster. But before that, you must dual cultivate with Helena first; only then will you be able to break through."
"That's good then; you can help me to absorb his qi." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and used the dream creation on Mo Hongling, surprising Ling Xi. "Hey, she has committed many crimes and injured the people closest to me, so I don't want her to die too soon. I will confine her subconscious within the dream space and use her body as my cultivation furnace."
Ling Xi laughed upon hearing that. "You're starting to sound like a villain, you know? But I like your idea!"
After that, Ling Yun returned to the woman's side, and he crouched down beside Yun Mingyue's corpse. "Can I still revive her, Ling Xi?"
Ling Xi didn't immediately answer him, and she thought while observing Yun Mingyue's corpse, and soon she answered him. "I thought you could revive her using the Demon Creation Manual, but I don't know what will happen to her because her soul is incomplete, and only a small part remains."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by reviving her?" Lian Bing asked with a raised eyebrow.
Without having to examine Yun Mingyue's corpse, Lian Bing could already confirm that she was dead, and she had never heard of anyone who could revive the dead, but Ling Xi said that Ling Yun could revive her.
"Not bringing her back in the truest sense." Ling Yun said with a shake of his head. "I have a technique that can bring her back to life, but she won't be the same as before, and she might turn into a strange creature. I've used the technique on someone once, and that person turned into a half demon and half fairy."
"That's right, Sister Bing." Ling Ling continued to hug Lian Bing's arm. "A few days ago, those vampires killed Duan Wu, and Yun'er used a technique to revive her. However, she was no longer a human but became a half demon and half fairy."
Lian Bing was shocked to hear that and turned to Zhao Yao. Even though she was in her human form, she could feel a demon aura from her.
Zhao Yao scratched her head and explained to her. "Yun'er didn't turn me into a demon, but I was a demon from the start, and my bloodline was sealed."
"I see." Lian Bing nodded in understanding.
Ling Yun then turned to Ling Xiya. "Do you want to let your mother die, or do you want me to revive her with my technique?"
