Ling Yun nodded to Ling Xi. "The Chaos Dragon told me everything, so it can't be wrong. However, I won't give you the partner mark for now, especially since your cultivation is too far above mine, so I'll give it to the two of them first."
"No problem." Ling Xi replied with a sweet smile. Even though she wanted the partner mark to accompany Ling Yun in the dark dome, she preferred to prioritize his other women, who were far weaker than her; only then could they all become stronger quickly. "So which of them will you give the partner mark next?"
"Hmm? I'll give it to my mother." Ling Yun decided without hesitation, for Yi Mingxia was the most important person in his heart. "Besides her, I will also give it to my grandmother."
Ling Xi was not surprised that he wanted to give the partner mark to Yi Mingxia. Yet, she was astonished that he chose Song Mei before his other women like Ling Yin, especially since she had a relationship with him earlier than his grandmother.
Ling Yun directly explained to him. "Ling Yin is still too young, so I chose my grandma first, which will make her physically stronger, and she can train better in the future."
"I see." Ling Xi nodded in understanding. After all, Song Mei was the oldest in his family, and her physique was also the weakest compared to the others. "That's good then, and it would be better if you try to break through to the Upper Core Realm sooner, so you can give the partner mark to Ling Yin and one of your other woman."
"I know." Ling Yun then turned his head to the outer area of the forest. "It seems that Raguel has been waiting for me for a long time, huh?"
"Eh?" Mariel was surprised to hear that, and she asked him. "Is it true that Raguel is in this place right now?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "I can feel his anger directed at me."
Mariel then stood up and held Ling Yun's hand. "What are you going to do with him? If you kill him, the other angels will definitely be furious with you, making your relationship with them bad, especially since we will face the same enemies."
Ling Yun immediately spoke to calm Mariel down. "You don't need to worry about that, I won't kill Raguel, but I already have a plan for him."
Ling Xi suddenly said. "He previously came together with Glacia, but she has returned to the angel realm now."
"Glacia, huh?" Ling Yun muttered as he frowned. "Apparently, she has forgotten the lesson I gave her before, so I will teach her another lesson later."

After he said that, Ling Yun immediately used Space Shuttle Steps and brought Ling Xi. They presently reappeared in front of Raguel, shocking him.
However, before Raguel could say anything to him, Ling Yun had already stood before him and was choking his neck.
"Ugh! Let go of me and fight me like a man!" Raguel said with difficulty, and his face started to turn pale.
"Heh! Can you fight me with your current strength?" Ling Yun asked with a snort. "Honestly, I don't want to get into trouble with you angels, but some of you looked for trouble with me first. However, you need not be afraid, for I won't kill you, but I will send you to a most suitable place."
"Gah!" Raguel screamed in pain as Ling Yun clipped his wings, making blood flow from his back.
"Heh." Ling Yun then took the device and opened the portal to the demon realm.
"No... No...!" Raguel shouted loudly when he saw that. "Please! Don't send me to that place! I don't want to become a demon like them!"
"Too late!" After saying that, Ling Yun threw Raguel into the portal and closed it instantly. He then crouched down, touched the ice covering Arael's body, and used his Fire Qi to melt it.
Minutes later, Arael was freed from Glacia's ice, and he looked at Ling Yun in surprise.
"Are you alright?" Ling Yun asked him.
"Thank you, you have helped me once again."
"No problem." Ling Yun replied casually and pulled Arael to his feet. "Can you return to the angel realm by yourself?"
"Yes," Arael responded with a nod.
"That's good." Ling Yun then said to him. "In that case, you can return to your realm now and tell Michael that I have sent Raguel to the demon realm. However, you don't need to tell him about Glacia, and I will take care of her myself."
"But-"
"It's okay." Ling Yun directly interrupted Arael. "You don't have to worry about that, and I guarantee the other angels won't know that I did anything to Glacia."
Arael sighed in his heart and nodded to him. "All right then, I will follow your plans and only tell Michael about Raguel."

After Arael left their sight, Ling Xi immediately took Ling Yun to Tang Wu's place, surprising her.
"Why did you come here, Senior?" Tang Wu respectfully asked Ling Xi.
Ling Xi shook her head. "You don't need to mind us, and I brought him here to see Little Mingxia."
"I see." Tang Wu nodded in understanding and pointed toward the distance. "Yi Mingxia is cultivating there, so you can see her there."
Ling Yun went straight to see his mother without saying anything to Tang Wu, for he missed Yi Mingxia very much.
On the other hand, Ling Xi stayed behind and continued to observe Tang Wu, and she then asked her. "Who exactly are you? Although your body also has Qi, your Qi is different from all cultivators in this universe."
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you much, Senior." Tang Wu replied with an apologetic look. "However, your guess is correct, I am not a person from this universe, so my Qi is different from cultivators from this universe."
Ling Xi stared at Tang Wu in shock. "Are you joking with me? So you're saying that you came from another universe?"
"I'm not joking with you, Senior." Tang Wu replied with a shake of her head. "You may find it hard to believe my words, but I am not lying to you, and I come from another universe."
Ling Xi didn't say anything to reply to Tang Wu, but her expression was utterly shocked, and she was in deep thought.
Seeing her like that, Tang Wu said to her again. "You don't need to think about it for now, Senior. Soon, you will discover the truth of my words, and someone will explain it in more detail."
Ling Xi sighed heavily and said. "I've lived for billions of years, but I've never heard of the existence of other universes, so I highly doubt your words. However, I will wait for the time to come for me to know the truth."
"Don't worry; you will definitely find out in the future." Tang Wu said as she smiled.
Ling Xi then asked her again. "So, what is your purpose in being here?"
"I can't tell you the details." Tang Wu paused for a few moments. "However, I can tell you that my ancestor tasked me to protect the Tang Clan from this universe, and he also asked me to maintain the balance between the Cultivator Realm and the Outside World."
"Tang Clan, huh?" Ling Xi muttered to herself. "So that clan's decline has something to do with your ancestor?"
"Yes." Tang Wu nodded to her. "My ancestor brought all the core members of the Tang Clan to a higher realm, so the Tang Clan here has suffered many setbacks."
Ling Xi sighed softly and looked the other way. "It seems you've taught Yi Mingxia a lot of amazing techniques, huh?"
"My ancestor ordered me to do just that, for Yi Mingxia will be the key for you to defeat those demons." Tang Wu answered as she nodded.
After that, Ling Xi didn't ask Tang Wu anymore. Yet, her mind was filled with questions about her previous words, especially since she couldn't read her mind, so she couldn't delve deeper into any of it.

On the other hand, Ling Yun was already standing in front of Yi Mingxia and smiling contentedly at seeing his mother so concentrated. She was not even disturbed by his arrival.
Ling Yun then sat down in front of Yi Mingxia and touched her forehead, and he immediately gave the partner mark to her. Soon, the black dragon mark appeared on her forehead, indicating that she had officially become one.
Sensing that, Yi Mingxia finally opened her eyes and looked at her son with blinking eyes. Soon, she smiled, climbed onto Ling Yun's lap, and kissed his lips. "Why did you suddenly come here, Son?"
"Of course, I came here because I miss you, Mom." Ling Yun answered as he took out a mirror, and Yi Mingxia was shocked to see the black dragon mark on her forehead.
"Since when did I have this mark?" Yi Mingxia asked in confusion as she rubbed it. "And what is the use of this mark?"
Ling Yun directly explained to her. "This black dragon mark is my partner mark, and it has great benefits if you dual cultivate with me."
"Really?" Yi Mingxia was surprised after hearing that; she hugged her son's neck and smiled coquettishly. "In that case, I want to dual cultivate with you right now, for I'm curious about the benefits of this mark."
