Meanwhile, five people were standing in midair between the Cultivator Peak and the Central Forest, and they kept looking around the area.
"Hong'er, what exactly happened between you and Lin'er? Why did she choose to leave secretly?" Liu Ruyue, with narrowed eyes, asked her son.
However, Chen Hong shook his head at her. "I don't know why Lin'er did it myself, but she's been looking a little strange since we came back from the auction back then, and I often see her thinking to herself. Moreover, she was acting even more strange after Wen Qing visited our clan a while back, but she never said anything to me."
"Wen Qing? She is your ex-wife, right?" Murong Wu asked with a frown. "Why did she visit your clan? Are you still in a relationship with her?"
"I-"
"No, they are not in a relationship anymore." Liu Ruyue said to Murong Wu as she shook her head. "Ye'er happened to run into Qing'er when she was about to go to our clan, so she invited her to visit me, and she only chatted with me."
Chen Wentian then added. "Moreover, when Qing'er came to our clan, Hong'er was still unconscious, so he didn't meet her."
"I see." Even so, Murong Wu still glanced at Chen Hong sharply; she did not believe that her daughter would leave in secret if there were no trouble between them.
Fang Zhuo asked them. "So what are we going to do now? Where are we going to look for Lin'er? This area is vast, and only a small town is nearby."
"It would be best if we spread out and search all over the area, so we won't waste too much time, and we might be able to find Lin'er soon." Chen Wentian answered Fang Zhuo's question.
They agreed with that, but just as they were about to disperse, they felt a strange change in their surroundings.
"What happened? Why can't I move?" Fang Zhuo asked in shock.
Murong Wu was also shocked by that. "I feel that the space around us is changing, but I have never met a cultivator who can do such a thing."
"Whoever did this, that person must have the space element." Chen Wentian said with a frown as he tried to bust out, but his attack had pierced through an invisible wall instead.
Liu Ruyue asked her husband. "Are you sure the person who did this possessed the space element? According to the records of this place, only one person has ever been recorded as possessing the space element. However, that person disappeared hundreds of years ago, and no cultivator has ever possessed it again."
"Wife, the world of cultivation is too mysterious, and we don't know everyone living in this place." Chen Wentian answered his wife as he sighed heavily, for all his efforts to break out were in vain. "Moreover, many dragons are hiding in this place, and Ling Yun is one of them."
"Could it be Ling Yun who did this?" Chen Hong joined in.
"I don't-" Before Chen Wentian could answer his son's question, the space above them split open wide enough to suck him in along with the other three, leaving only Chen Hong in the place.
After the four of them were sucked in, the space closed again, causing Chen Hong to frown. He then spread his senses to search for his family, but he couldn't detect them and finally realized he was the target. "Hey! Whoever you are, come out and face me head-on! I know that you're targeting me!"
.

Meanwhile, two people appeared in the heart of the Central Forest, and they were shocked to see the people in that place. However, they were even more shocked when they saw Fang Lin among them.
"Lin'er? Why are you hiding in this place?" Murong Wu asked as she ran over to her daughter and grabbed Fang Lin's shoulder. "What exactly happened? Did you have a fight with Hong'er?"
Instead, Fang Lin lowered her head and didn't answer her mother's question, especially since she felt at a loss on how to explain to her mother about the situation. Moreover, she was also afraid that Murong Wu would be furious if she told her the truth.
Seeing her daughter like that, Murong Wu sighed softly, lifted Fang Lin's chin, and asked her. "You don't need to be afraid; you can tell me the truth."
"En." Fang Lin nodded, touched her mother's forehead, and shared the memories she got from Wen Qing of Chen Hong having affairs.
Murong Wu immediately closed her eyes and looked at the memories, but her expression became furious.
On the other hand, Fang Zhuo didn't understand what was happening, and he was still shocked by the presence of Feng Ruxue, Xiao Xiao, Shi Yao, and the four ancestors in the place. 'What the hell with them? Why are these strong cultivators gathered in this place? Moreover, what is that residence? It's more akin to a castle than a residence.'
However, they were startled by a woman's voice from above the sky. "Hey, Yun'er! I've already sent Chen Hong's parents to a distant place, so they won't be able to return here anytime soon."
Tang Zhiyi stood in the sky as she wore her Stellar Equipment Set that Zhou Yu gave her. Her equipment greatly helped her to increase her Space Qi, so she could use the Space Splitter and the Space Door at the same time to separate those people.
"That's good." Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, it's time for me to settle my old grudge against Chen Hong, and I will definitely kill him today."
After saying that, Ling Yun immediately used Space Shuttle Steps and disappeared from their sight, and only Ling Xi followed him.
Fang Zhuo and Murong Wu were shocked to hear that, and they looked at their daughter with questioning looks. However, Wen Qing directly spoke to them. "You two don't need to be confused by her words."
"Wen Qing?" They turned to her in surprise, and Murong Wu asked her. "Did you divorce Hong'er because of that matter?"
"Yes, that was one of the reasons I divorced Chen Hong back then." Wen Qing answered as she nodded. "My other reason is that he wanted to kill Ling Yun a few months ago, especially since he was still an ordinary human back then."
"So the guy just now was that Ling Yun, huh?" Murong Wu muttered as she looked at Wen Qing.
Wen Qing nodded again. "Yes, he is that Ling Yun and all of us are his closest people."
Fang Zhuo suddenly asked. "What exactly happened? You guys didn't tell me anything."
Hearing that, Murong Wu turned to her husband and shared Wen Qing's memories with him, so he could judge matters by himself.
After he saw everything, Fang Zhuo shouted angrily. "That bastard! How dare he cheat on my daughter with so many women!"
"Fang Zhuo! You don't need to be so angry." Feng Ruxue suddenly said as she shook her head. "Chen Hong won't be alive after today, so you can just let go of your anger."
Fang Zhuo immediately calmed himself down and asked her. "Are you really going to let Ling Yun to kill Chen Hong, Madam Feng? Moreover, we still need a lot of people to deal with those blessed people and demons in the future, and he is strong enough to help us."
"That's true." Murong Wu agreed with her husband. "Moreover, Chen Wentian and Liu Ruyue will not stay still about their son's death, and the Ancestors of the Chen and Liu Clans will definitely come out of their seclusion if they find out about it."
"Do you think Chen Xiang and Liu Peng can fight us, Little Girl?" Shi Xiaoyin suddenly asked Murong Wu.
Murong Wu turned her head and shook her head at her. "I didn't expect the four of you to come out of your seclusion, Senior."
Shi Xiaoyin chuckled at that. "Hearing that grave danger is threatening our land, we naturally cannot stay in our place forever, right? Moreover, not only the four of us, but several others have also left their seclusion, and two of them are on our side now."
Murong Wu nodded in understanding but was also relieved that those old folks had started showing up, so they could better prepare themselves.
"Anyway, Chen Xiang's fate will also not be much different from Chen Hong's." Ling Xiaofei suddenly said, making them all turn to her, and she explained to them. "He lusts after Yi Mingzhu, so Ling Yun can't possibly let him go, right?"
"Humph! Only an idiot would dare to covet Yun'er's woman!" Ling Yu'er said as she snorted. "But why didn't you tell him earlier, Ancestor?"
"You know Ling Yun is still preoccupied with other matters, so I haven't told him about it." Ling Xiaofei answered as she smiled faintly. "However, after today's incident, he will definitely face Chen Xiang soon, so I will tell him later."
They nodded in agreement with that. If Ling Yun really killed Chen Hong, then Chen Xiang would not sit idly, and he would go to great lengths to find the killer.
Feng Bing'er sighed softly and said. "I hope Chen Wentian and Liu Ruyue won't commit any madness like the Shui Clan, or else we will lose the other two strong clans."

Meanwhile, Chen Hong's eyes widened in shock when Ling Yun appeared before him. "Are you surprised to see me still alive now?"
