Since Ling Xi's speed was way too fast, they arrived at the Stone Gate in no time. Ling Yun purposely asked her to bring them there first. He didn't want Mo Tian suspicious of Xuanyuan Xiang'er if she arrived at their promised place before him, or else they would fail to capture him.
Moreover, Ling Yun believed that Nangong Ying'er wanted to flee to the blessed people realm, and she might bring all the Nangong Clan members in hiding to escape with her.
However, Ling Yun didn't know what to do with them, so he contacted Feng Ruxue to see him immediately and asked her to contact Long Wei and Xuanyuan Xue'er.
At first, Ling Yun did not want to meet the Xuanyuan Clan, for he felt he needed more time to appear before them. However, the Nangong Clan's numbers were too many, so he was forced to summon them, for he didn't want to kill them.
Ling Xi didn't say anything and followed his wishes, but she was satisfied with Ling Yun's plans. She didn't want him to become a cold-blooded killer by killing the Nangong Clan, especially since they had no trouble with him, except for Nangong Ying'er.
"Hey, Ling Yun! How did you come into contact with Madam Feng and the others?" Xuanyuan Xiang'er suddenly asked with a curious look. She was already very curious about it but had never had the chance to ask about it.
Ling Yun turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, you're my slave; why do you want to know my personal business?"
"Tch." Xuanyuan Xiang'er gritted her teeth. "Nothing, I'm just curious to know."
Ling Yun shook his head but still answered her question. "Well? Ruxue is my mother-in-law, and I have been in a relationship with Su Fei for three years. However, an accident happened when I met her for the first time, and she ended up being my woman too."
"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Xiang'er was shocked to hear that. "Then what about the others? Like Zhang Xingcai, Nangong Ying'er, and the others."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed at that. "You must know which women are my family, right? Apart from them, they are all my customers, except for the women from the Feng Clan, Mariel, Lian Bing, and Long Qiu. As for Huo Ye, I'm not that close with her."
"Your customers?" Xuanyuan Xiang'er looked at him in confusion.
Ling Yun sighed and continued. "Before I became a cultivator, I worked as a male prostitute, so they were all my customers."
Upon hearing that, Xuanyuan Xiang'er's jaw dropped; she had never imagined that Ling Yun was a former male prostitute. Moreover, he was just an ordinary man and not a cultivator. Yet, he was able to win the hearts of those women instead.
Ling Yun chuckled, seeing Xuanyuan Xiang'er's reaction. "Back then, Wen Qing's ex-husband beat me until I almost died, but Ling Xi saved my life and taught me to be a cultivator, and here I am now."
"I see." Xuanyuan Xiang'er nodded in understanding. "In that case, you haven't been a cultivator for long, right?"
"Would you believe me if I told you I became a cultivator two months ago?" Ling Yun asked back with a faint smile.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Xuanyuan Xiang'er screamed in disbelief. "If you have only been a cultivator for two months, how could your cultivation increase this fast? You could even kill Shui Hao and the others so easily, and now you are also embroiled in the imminent war between the four realms."
"Are you senile?" Ling Yun asked with a shake of his head. "I'm a dual cultivator with so many strong women by my side, remember?"
Xuanyuan Xiang'er sighed and nodded to him. "However, your cultivation speed and abilities are simply absurd, and no cultivator can compare to you, including Xuanyuan Xue'er."
Ling Yun only smiled at that, but he then sighed softly. "As for the war, I don't care about the fate of other cultivators; whether they live or die is none of my business. However, since my women and closest people live in this place, I was forced to intervene in the war, and I will not let them suffer because of those evil people."
"Then-"
"Ssh!" Ling Yun immediately stopped Xuanyuan Xiang'er and looked up. "Hey, Ling Xi! Cover us in your aura; I want to know about Nangong Ying'er's plans first. Moreover, Ruxue and the others won't be arriving any time soon."
Ling Xi nodded and immediately enveloped them in her aura, allowing no one to see them.
Soon, Nangong Ying'er landed in front of the Stone Gate; she then walked forward and pressed her hand against it. "Sigh, all those damn cultivators are hunting my entire clan, so I must take them there, or they will perish. Moreover, those old cultivators have also left their place of solitude, so we can't linger in this place anymore, and I'll devise a new plan before coming back here."
Xuanyuan Xiang'er was shocked to hear Nangong Ying'er's words about those old cultivators and then turned to Ling Yun with a questioning look, but he only replied with a smile. 'This brat! He can even get those old geezers to leave their places, but I don't think they will get involved in that war.'
Ling Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows as Nangong Ying'er took out a key-like device, and a hole also appeared in the Stone Gate. However, he clearly remembered that the two people he had met before did not use the key to open it. 'Could it be because she's not a Mana user, so she has to use a key to open it?'
"Apparently so." Ling Xi replied as she nodded. "If you snatch the key from Nangong Ying'er, then you can give it to other cultivators, so they can send their spies to investigate them by themselves."
'En, you are right.' Even though Ling Yun had already saved their realm location to his device, he didn't intend to appear in front of other cultivators, so he thought of snatching the key and giving it to Long Wei. Moreover, it would lighten his burden, and he could train in peace.
Ling Xi then asked him. "So what are you going to do with this woman? Are you going to kill her?"
'Why should I kill her?' Ling Yun asked back with a chuckle. 'Since she wants to return to their realm, I'll use her as another spy, and I might be able to get useful information from her.'
"I see." Ling Xi asked again. "Then what about Xuanyuan Xiang'er?"
'Honestly, I want to kill her, but I still don't know how Xuanyuan Xue'er will react if I kill her, and I don't want to find trouble with her for now.' Ling Yun replied with a heavy sigh.
Nangong Ying'er looked the other way and sighed. "Where are they? Why haven't they arrived at this place yet?"
However, Nangong Ying'er was suddenly shocked when Ling Yun decided to appear before her, and she immediately jumped away from the Stone Gate. "How... how did you get here?"
"Are you surprised to see me, Fox Lady?" Ling Yun asked back with a faint smile, causing Nangong Ying'er's body to tremble. "Did you enjoy the pill I gave you? How many men helped you satisfy your lust?"
"You!" Nangong Ying'er's eyes bulged and pointed at Ling Yun. "Why did you do that to me? We've been in a relationship for so long, but you have the heart to do that to me."
"Heh!" Ling Yun snorted at her. "I already gave you one chance when you came to the Central Forest to capture me, and that was because I was considering our past relationship. However, you already knew that Xingcai was my woman, but you wanted to hand her over to Shi Jingtian instead. Do you think I would allow anyone to hurt her?"
Just as Nangong Ying'er was about to curse at Ling Yun, she suddenly frowned, for Xuanyuan Xiang'er suddenly appeared behind him. 'Damn it! I didn't expect her to come here too! Could it be that he has already informed Xuanyuan Xue'er and the others?'
"Anyway, I have a present for you." Ling Yun said as he opened the portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber, and Ling Xi directly sent Julie out of it.
Nangong Ying'er was shocked to see Julie in his arms; she finally knew that Ling Yun had ruined all her plans. "Why? Why are you meddling in my business?"
"As I told you before, Xingcai is my woman, which means the Zhang Clan is my family." Ling Yun replied as he strangled Julie's neck and immediately released her from Dream Space.
Soon, Julie opened her eyes and shouted. "Master! Please save me from this man!"
"Shit." Nangong Ying'er cursed and released her qi.
However, before Nangong Ying'er could save her, Ling Yun had already turned into a half-dragon . He directly thrust his claw straight into Julie's chest, causing her to spurt out a large amount of blood from her mouth and chest.
Nangong Ying'er was horrified when she saw Julie's heart still beating in Ling Yun's claw.
Even Xuanyuan Xiang'er was horrified at the sight; she didn't expect Ling Yun to be so cruel.
"M...master..." Julie's eyes soon lost their shine, and she breathed her last breath, and her blood was still flowing from her mouth and chest.
Afterward, Ling Yun crushed Julie's heart and threw her corpse at Nangong Ying'er's feet. "Do you like my present?"
