After waking up from his sleep, Ling Yun immediately entered the Yin-Yang Chamber, but he let out a heavy sigh after he checked Xiao Xiao's situation, for he could feel that her aura and cultivation were steadily increasing. 'Sigh! After the competition, I must immediately take care of all the remaining matters in this place, and I will immediately go to the higher realm afterward, or else I won't be able to catch up to Xiao'er.'
Moreover, Ling Yun had to bring Lu Wan'er and the others back to the Cultivator Peak to not arouse people's suspicions against him. However, they fell asleep exhausted after his clones dual cultivated with them the entire night, but their expressions clearly showed they were delighted.
'Are you going to bring them out?'
Ling Yun immediately pulled Su Xin into his arms and kissed her. "Yes, but I'll lock them up immediately after the competition ends, and I'll never let them go again."
'I see.' Su Xin nodded in understanding. 'Thank you, my cultivation increased quite a bit after we dual cultivated.'
"Don't worry; I will help you increase your cultivation even more later." Ling Yun then gave Large Qi Restoration Liquids to Lu Wan'er and Yun Zhu and woke them up. "Hurry, get dressed."
After they finished dressing, Ling Yun asked them to take Luo Yan with them, and Zhou Yu brought the four of them back to the Cultivator Peak. As for his clones, they immediately entered the Dream Space to train, which would greatly benefit him.

Afterward, Ling Yun went to Mu Lingxue's room to check her condition, and Yi Mingxia checked her body.
However, Yi Mingxia smiled after she sensed Mu Lingxue's heartbeat quickened when her son entered the room, and red hues adorned her slightly chubby cheeks. 'Are all the disciples of the Lotus Sect as innocent as her? But this girl is indeed pretty and deserves to be a member of my son's harem.'
'Ugh! Why did Ling Yun come here? I'm so embarrassed to see him!' Mu Lingxue muttered in her heart.
The core disciples of the Lotus Sect also stole glances at Ling Yun repeatedly, except for one person, Yu Mei.
Even though she was very much in awe of Ling Yun, Yu Mei did not feel such an interest in him and regarded him as the same as other men.
'Hey, Xinxin! If I look closely, he's much more handsome.' Qiao Yan said to her through voice transmission.
Sun Xinxin nodded in agreement. 'That's true! No wonder he has so many women by his side!'
The other women were also the same as them, and they were conversing with each other via voice transmission, but little did they know that Ling Xi was passing their talk to Ling Yun, making him shake his head. "What about her condition, Mom?"
"Lingxue is fine, there is no sequela in her body, and she can practice again after 2 weeks." Yi Mingxia answered her son as she retracted her Light Qi, and she then said to him. "Son, I and the others will not go to the Cultivator Peak, and we will clean up and arrange some areas in the Fortress."
"Okay." Ling Yun unhesitatingly agreed with his mother's words, mainly since most of them had already been eliminated from the competition, so it didn't matter if they stayed in their residence.
Tang Wan suddenly said to him. "Ling Yun, Sister Liqin will arrive at this place tomorrow, so she can help Sister Yao and Xiao Yin later, and I should return to my clan now to discuss the matter with them."
"That's good." Ling Yun then said to her. "It would be best if you discussed the matter with them as soon as possible, and you could inform me of their decision later, so I could ask Xiao Yin to prepare a place for them."
"Yes." Tang Wan then said to Lian Bing. "Sect Master, I will return to my clan first."
"En." Lian Bing simply nodded at her.
However, their conversation made Yu Mei and the others wonder about Ling Yun and Tang Wan's relationship, and they felt that she had suddenly become close to him.

Ling Yun called all of them to gather in the hall, and he asked Xiao Xi and Yu Die. "Are you two having fun here?"
"This residence of yours is truly magnificent, Yun'er. Not even our Long Clan can compare to this place, and the natural atmosphere of this place is enjoyable." Yu Die answered him.
Xiao Xi nodded in agreement with her. "Can I come here often, Yun'er?"
Before Ling Yun could answer her question, Long Qiu had already shouted at her mother. "Mom! You should stay in our clan and accompany my Old Man! If you keep coming here, he will follow you, and I am too lazy to meet him."
"Hey, Qiu'er! If your father heard your words, he would definitely punish you, remember?" Xiao Xi replied as she shook her head. "Moreover, Yun'er is my son-in-law, so it's fine if I come here often, right?"
"No, you- Mhn~" Ling Yun directly covered Long Qiu's mouth and said to Xiao Xi. "It's fine, you two can come here whenever you want, but we will probably be leaving this place soon."
"Hmm?" The two women raised their eyebrows, and Yu Die asked him. "Are you going to take them all to a higher realm?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "I can't go into details with you guys, but I can't continue living in this place, or you will all suffer."
"What do you mean by that, Yun'er?" Xiao Xi asked as she grabbed Ling Yun's hand. "We are your family, so you can explain it to us, and we might be able to help you."
"No, no one can help me." Ling Yun shook his head at her. "You don't need to worry about me; nothing bad happened to me. Instead, bad things will happen to you and this place if I don't leave this place soon."
Xiao Xi looked at her daughter, but Long Qiu shrugged and shook her head, for Ling Yun had not told his women about Long Ma's words before, especially since they were still busy with the competition.
Ling Yun then said to her again. "It's okay; you don't need to think about it too seriously."
Yu Die suddenly asked him. "Can we go with you to the higher realms, Yun'er?"
"Eh?" Ling Yun turned to Yu Die in surprise. "Actually, it's fine if you want to come with us to a higher realm, but you'd better discuss this matter with my father-in-law first."
"Hehe." Xiao Xi giggled upon hearing that. "If Sister Die and I want to go with you all, our husband will not refuse our request."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "All right, if my father-in-law agrees, you can come with us later. Before that, you must prepare the person who will take care of the Long Clan later, for we won't be back here for long."
Hearing that, Yu Die and Xiao Xi turned to Long Zhan, making him smile bitterly, and he immediately said to them. "Mom! Aunt Xi! If you all come with Ling Yun to the higher realms, I will also come with you all."
"All right." Yu Die then said to Xiao Xi. "Apparently, we should seriously discuss this matter with our husband first, and I don't know who is a worthy candidate to lead the Long Clan in the future."
"That's true." Xiao Xi agrees with her. "It's fine; we will definitely find the right candidate."
Suddenly, Zhang Bing said to him. "Brother Yun! Yuan Meng have been in this place for a long time, so she want to return to the outside world first, or her parents will worry about us."
"Okay." Ling Yun then turned towards Mei Yi. "Do you also want to return to your home?"
"No." Mei Yi shook her head at him. "If I go back home now, my mother will definitely be furious and lock me up, so I will stay here to focus on cultivating."
"Fine, if that's what you want." Ling Yun then opened a portal to the outside world, and Yuan Meng immediately disappeared from their sight.

After they talked for a while, Tang Zhiyi brought them all to the Cultivator Peak, and people shouted loudly as soon as they saw them.
Suddenly, Ling Yun felt the gazes of hostility from several people and turned to them. 'Hey! You won't be able to prove that I killed Chen Hong.'
On the other hand, Luo Yan, who had woken up, looked at Ling Yun suspiciously. Because Lu Wan'er and Yun Zhu had not explained everything to her clearly, and she also felt that there was something different about Su Xin. 'Could it be he who knocked me unconscious? But how does he do it? I remember exactly that he left this place before I fainted.'
However, Ling Yun did not mind Luo Yan's gaze, and he was more curious to see Situ Luan's gaze on him. 'Hey, Ling Xi! Why does she keep looking at me like that? Have you done anything to her?'
"Well? I had to do it, or she wouldn't be able to be free from Lu Wan'er's influence." Ling Xi replied as she chuckled.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. 'What did you do to her?'
