While most women in the forest rested to recover their stamina and prepare for their training the next day, the four senior women stayed awake to protect them.

Ling Xiaofei seemed curious about Ling Yun, but she wasn't curious because she was attracted to him, but because of something else.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaoyin said. "Somehow, I can't tell whether he's cultivating or sleeping, especially since his body absorbs Qi even when sleeping."

"That's true." Ling Xiaofei nodded in agreement, for her eyes could clearly see the Qi continuing to enter Ling Yun's body.

After hearing their words, Ling Xi raised her eyebrows, and she wondered in her heart. 'Hmm? What really happened to him? How could his body suddenly absorb Qi automatically? But it's perfect for him, and his cultivation will increase even faster.'

Ling Xiaofei then looked up at Ling Xi. "Senior, do you know about it?"

"No." Ling Xi shook her head. "Ling Yun didn't possess such an ability before, and he doesn't seem to have realized his new ability either."

"Hmm?" Shi Xiaoyin frowned at that. "Isn't that really weird, Senior? How could he not realize his own ability?"

Ling Xi felt at a loss to answer her question, especially since it wasn't Ling Yun's ability but came from the Chaos Dragon. Although she could read Ling Xiaofei and Shi Xiaoyin's thoughts, and they had no ill will towards him, she had no intention of telling them about his bloodline. "Sigh, we'll find out after he wakes up tomorrow."

"Senior, what exactly is he doing now?" Ling Xiaofei asked.

Ling Xi turned to her. "Currently, Ling Yun is in the dream space doing something important, but I myself cannot see his activities there."

"The dream space?" They asked with puzzled expressions, including Feng Bing'er and Feng Yujie.

Ling Xi nodded and directly explained to them. "Ling Yun has a Master who can bring other people's subconscious into the dream space, and that person passed that ability on to him. That way he can do anything to anyone whose subconscious is brought into that place, including killing them."

"Huh?" They were shocked upon hearing that, and Shi Xiaoyin asked with a frown. "Isn't that ability terrifying?"

"You're right; that ability is indeed terrifying." Ling Xiaofei and the Feng Ancestors agreed with her.

Ling Xi chuckled at that. "Ling Yun's Master is far more terrifying than all the cultivators in this place, and that person is extremely famous as a cold-blooded assassin; hundreds or even thousands of people have died under that person hands."

Their jaws dropped after hearing that. Even though they have often killed people, they have never killed hundreds of people, let alone thousands.

"Who exactly is Ling Yun's Master?" Feng Yujie curiously asked, especially since she and her big sister didn't know him too much.

Ling Xi shook her head. "I can't tell you the name of his Master, for it would harm Ling Yun if cultivators from the higher realms found out about their relationship."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, the four women couldn't help but sigh in resignation, and they asked her many things about Ling Yun. But Ling Xiaofei was the most curious among them.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiang's arrival shocked the Chen Clan residence, especially since he had not appeared in their clan for a long time, and Chen Wentian greeted him respectfully. "Welcome back to our clan, Ancestor."

Chen Xiang just nodded to him and sat on the head seat, and he then asked. "What do you know about the man called Ling Yun?"

"Ling Yun?" Chen Wentian and the others looked at him in surprise. "I'm sorry, Ancestor. I don't have much information about that man, and I only know that he is Feng Ruxue's husband and Lian Bing's future husband."

Chen Xiang frowned upon hearing that, for he already knew about that. At first, he hoped that the people from the Chen Clan could give him more information about Ling Yun, but they couldn't give him any information.

However, Chen Wentian suddenly said. "Anyway, I remembered something, Ancestor. I heard that Ling Yun possessed a strange technique to transform himself into a gigantic black dragon, and he also killed Shui Hao and all the elders of the Shui Clan."

"Are you sure about that?" Chen Xiang asked with a dark face, for he had never heard of such a technique before.

Chen Wentian nodded. "I heard that news from our clan members who joined the Clear Water Sect, and that sect has now been taken over by the Phoenix Sect."

"I see." Chen Xiang nodded in understanding but did not expect that Ling Yun could do such a thing, especially since the Shui Clan's strength was on par with the Chen Clan's. 'Damn it! If he is that strong, how can I get that woman named Yi Mingzhu? Moreover, Xiao Feng is also always by her side.'

Before long, Chen Xiang let out a heavy sigh, and he immediately disappeared from their sight without saying anything else, leaving them baffled by his attitude.

Liu Ruyue asked her husband. "What exactly happened? Why did our Ancestor suddenly come here and ask about Ling Yun?"

"I don't understand his thoughts myself." Chen Wentian answered as he shook his head but suddenly remembered something. "If my guess is correct, our Ancestor must be targeting one of Ling Yun's women, especially since he is notoriously lecherous."

Liu Ruyue frowned upon hearing that. "If our Ancestor really did that, then it would be bad for our clan, especially since Madam Feng was one of Ling Yun's wives."

"You're right." Chen Wentian replied with a heavy sigh. "However, I can't do anything to stop our Ancestor, and we can only hope he won't act rashly."

"En." Liu Ruyue nodded to her husband.

On the other hand, Fang Ling, sitting silently beside her husband, was wondering in her heart. 'Could it be that the man at that time was Ling Yun? After all, only he has a close relationship with Feng Ruxue.'

Meanwhile, Chen Hong didn't care about all that, and his mind was occupied with other things. 'Where is Wen Qing now? Could she return to Lotus Sect now? But that's impossible, for they will never accept a disciple who has already left their sect, let alone she is no longer a virgin. Sigh, I should ask Huo Ye about her location, especially since they've been close for so long.'

Afterward, Chen Hong contacted Huo Ye to inquire about Wen Qing's whereabouts. However, he received a negative response from his niece, and she was unwilling to reveal her location. 'Fuck! She really is too much! I'm her uncle, but she's taking someone else's side! I should find her by myself then, but where should I look for her?'

"Why is your expression like that?" Liu Ruyue suddenly asked her son.

"Nothing." Chen Hong replied with a head shake, stood up, and walked out. "Anyway, I'll be away from the clan for a while and might not return for quite a while."

Hearing that, Fang Ling raised her eyebrows, primarily because she had heard Chen Hong mention Wen Qing's name in his sleep, so she was sure he wanted to go find her. "Husband! I'll come with you!"

"Hmm?" Chen Hong turned to her with a frown. "You should stay here and don't follow me."

"But-"

"No buts." Chen Hong interrupted his wife and immediately left the clan.

Seeing Fang Ling's expression and clenched fist, Liu Ruyue embraced her and asked. "What exactly happened? Do you know where Hong'er went?"

"Yes, Mother." Fang Ling replied with a nod. "I believe he went to look for Wen Qing, especially since he could never forget her and often mentioned her name in his sleep."

After hearing that, Liu Ruyue sighed in her heart, for she was aware that Chen Hong still had ambitions to get Wen Qing back. However, he always held himself back because he was afraid to face Xue Xing.

"I'm going back to my room first, Mother." Fang Ling said as she left the hall.

Liu Ruyue then turned to Chen Wentian, but he only shrugged helplessly, causing her to shake her head.

Meanwhile, two old men were sitting together enjoying wine. Yet, their eyes were fixed on the woman who was focused on cultivating, and her expression was calm but serious.

Moreover, the area around her was also enveloped in a green aura that kept rotating like a hurricane, causing many of the surrounding objects to fly up into the sky.

"Old Feng, this girl is truly diligent in her cultivation; she has even been like that for days without eating or drinking."

Xiao Feng nodded as he smiled. "You're right, Old Jiang. Apparently, Mingzhu doesn't want to fall behind Ling Yun's other women, so she is completely focused on her cultivation and even grasped the core points of using the Wind Element."

"That's true." However, Jiang Yuan then warned him. "Anyway, you must always keep a good eye on her, or Chen Xiang will try to do bad things to her."

"I know." Xiao Feng answered with an understanding nod. "However, if Chen Xiang dares to do something against Mingzhu, then I dare to ensure that the Chen Clan will perish like the Shui Clan."

Jiang Yuan looked at his friend in shock. "Do you have that much confidence in Ling Yun's abilities?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng nodded. "Although I haven't seen Ling Yun's abilities, I have great faith in him, especially since Xiao Yulan had a prophecy about him."
