After Ling Yun suppressed him for quite a while, Chen Xiang finally fell unconscious, causing Liu Zhen and the others to panic, especially after they saw some of his body parts turning black.
'Why is Chen Xiang's body turning black like this?' Liu Zhen wondered in his heart as he used his Qi to inspect his body, but he was shocked because his Qi was suddenly absorbed by something inside his body. 'What the hell? What has he done to him exactly?'
"Father, can't you help him?" Liu Ruyue asked.
Liu Zhen sighed and explained. "I can't do anything to him; something inside his body is absorbing my Qi, so I'm powerless to do anything."
"Grandpa! If it is really Ling Yun who did this to him, we must hold him accountable." Chen Rong suddenly said.
However, the three seniors shook their heads at her, and Liu Ruyue said to her. "Rong'er, you already know about Ling Yun's relationship with Madam Feng and Lian Bing; he is now also the son-in-law of the Long Clan. Do you think we can do that to him?"
"Moreover, it was Ancestor himself who was looking for trouble with Ling Yun, for he kept glancing at his women." Chen Wentian added. "So it's not his fault, and if any other cultivators did the same to your mother, I definitely wouldn't let them go either."
Liu Zhen also said. "Your parents are right, Rong'er. Therefore, if you want to do something, you must consider all the risks first, lest your actions backfire on you."
"Yes, Grandpa." Chen Rong nodded in understanding, but she kept glancing at Ling Yun in wonder.

"What did you do to that man, Yun'er? Why did he fall unconscious?" Yi Mingxia curiously asked him.
Ling Yun smiled and answered her. "Mom, you remember what happened to Qiu'er back then, right?"
Yi Mingxia nodded in understanding after hearing that.
Suddenly, Long Qiu laughed out loud. "Hahaha! You sure are evil, Ling Yun! I definitely remember how terrifying it was, and I almost died from it. I would be dead by now if it wasn't for you and Mingxia."
"What do you mean by that, Qiu'er?" Long Weishan suddenly asked her, for he still doesn't know much about Ling Yun, let alone his Devil Qi.
"Humph! I wouldn't tell you, Grandpa!" Long Qiu said as she hid behind Ling Yun.
However, Xiao Xi immediately told her father-in-law. "Father, a few months ago, Qiu'er was attacked by Mo Hongling of the Mo Clan, and she was exposed to her Devil Qi, which almost made her meet her death. Luckily, Ling Yun and his mother saved her, or you would have lost your eldest granddaughter by now."
"Bastard!" Long Weishan cursed angrily upon hearing that. "We must get rid of the evil clan quickly, or they will continue to hurt other people. Moreover, I want to cut that Mo Hongling, for she dared to do such a thing against Qiu'er."
"You don't need to think about her, Grandpa." Ling Yun said as he gave a soft laugh. "Mo Hongling is in my hands, and although she is still alive now, I am torturing her in a special place, and she has been there for a very long time."
"What did you do to her?" Long Weishan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ling Yun smiled, touched Long Weishan, and used the Dream Creation Technique on him. "If you want to see her, then I will send you to that place right now, and I dare to guarantee that you will be delighted with her punishment."
"All right, send me to that place; I want to see how you are punishing that evil woman." After Long Weishan said that, Ling Yun immediately sent him into the Dream Space, and Long Zhan directly supported his grandfather, who had fallen asleep.
Ling Yun then said to them. "You guys don't need to worry; I sent Grandpa to the dream space, so he's asleep now."
"Huh? Isn't that ability of yours too absurd, Ling Yun?" Yu Die asked in surprise.
Xiao Xi also nodded in agreement with that. "Hehe, I wasn't wrong to choose you as my son-in-law, for you are truly admirable, Yun'er."
Suddenly, Long Yuyi asked him. "Could you use that technique on me too, Brother-in-law?"
"Eh?" Ling Yun turned to her in surprise. "Do you also want to see Mo Hongling's punishment?"
"Yes." Long Yuyi nodded at him. "Since she injured Big Sis, I wonder what kind of punishment you gave her."
"All right then." Ling Yun immediately used his technique and sent Long Yuyi over, and Yu Die directly supported her stepdaughter.
However, they suddenly heard Long Wei and Feng Ruxue's shouts, for the victors of the other two matches had already been decided.
After that, the match continued with the following six participants.
Chen Zong faced off against a male rogue cultivator. Even though the man continued to attack him fiercely, he could easily block his attacks, and he was toying with his opponent instead.
In the second arena, Sun Xinxin faced off against one of the Lei Sisters, but she seemed to have difficulty dealing with Lei Qiuling's attacks, mainly because she used sound attacks.
Besides, Lei Qiuling also used her innate ability to talk to beasts, and she asked several beast to face Sun Xinxin.
Even though it seemed unfair, no one protested against Lei Qiuling's actions, not even Sun Xinxin. After all, the cultivation world was cruel, and things were always unfair, so they couldn't blame her for using all her abilities.
In the third arena, Han Xian was also overwhelmed to face another Lei Sister. After all, ice was no different from water, and Lei Qianyu's proficiency in using the Lightning element was extraordinary, so she continuously suppressed her with every strike.
Sometime later, the winners of all three matches were decided. Chen Zong, Lei Qiuling, and Lei Qianyu emerged victorious.
.
.
.
"Sigh, they really are strong, Sect Master." Sun Xinxin and Han Xian said with heavy sighs after they returned to their sect place.
Lian Bing smiled and said to them. "Although the two of you lost to Lei Qiuling and Lei Qianyu, I can see that your proficiency in controlling the Ice Element has improved. However, you still have to work harder for the next year, for you may face them once again in the next year's competition, and you may be able to avenge your defeat today."
"Yes, Sect Master."
.
.
.
After that, Xuanyuan Xue'er asked the next six participants to take their positions according to their number. This time, Ling Yin was facing off against a male cultivator from the Clear Water Sect, but her opponent immediately surrendered as soon as he saw her Lightning strike, causing her to let out a helpless sigh.
At first, Ling Yin thought she could fight contentedly, but she didn't expect her opponent to cower after she attacked him once.
Ling Yin then returned to her husband's side and wore a sullen face, making Ling Yun laugh out loud at her expression, and he tried to cheer her up.
In the second arena, Yi Shu had also started fighting her opponent, and her opponent was her junior sister from the Cloud Sect, but their battle was slightly fiercer than the previous battles.
Even so, Yi Shu had the upper hand over her opponent, especially since she was Qin Shuang's direct disciple. Even though she actually has the water element, she has also learned many non-elemental techniques from her Master.
In the end, Yi Shu managed to defeat her junior sister, but the woman looked satisfied even though she had already lost the match this time.
In the third arena, the match between the two rogue cultivators was also quite fierce, but in the end, the female rogue cultivator managed to narrowly defeat her opponent.
Since the participants were still numerous, Feng Ruxue asked them to return to their respective places, and she then summoned the next six participants.
In the first arena, Qin Wen faced a male cultivator from the Desert Plain Sect, and they immediately fought fiercely.
Ling Yun and those cultivators could see that the difference in their abilities was small, and they were sure their battle would not end too soon compared to previous matches.
In the second arena, Yi Shi was already standing face to face with Jiang Chen, but they didn't immediately start their fight; they just stood still and stared at each other.
However, they were having a fierce battle using their auras, and only Ling Yun and the senior cultivators knew it; not even the four women from the Feng Clan could know about it.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen and Yi Shi moved simultaneously, and their swords appeared in their hands.
*clang*
Quickly, the two men exchanged attacks but were knocked back by each other's attacks. However, they didn't stop there, they immediately dashed toward each other, and their swords kept clashing.
'Jiang Chen's aura and techniques sure are weird, and Yi Shi might lose to him.' Ling Yun muttered in his heart as he continued to observe them; he then glanced towards the third arena.
Luo Yan and Chen Rong faced each other, and their gazes looked disdainful toward each other.
Suddenly, Chen Rong took out her whip, pointed at Luo Yan, and said disdainfully to her. "I will definitely defeat a slut like you!"
"Heh." Luo Yan snorted, took out two daggers, and sneered at Chen Rong. "You can try, but I will make you regret it and kneel before me."
