"What the hell with his attack!?"
"How can he use such a huge palm technique?"
"Jiang Chen will definitely be seriously injured if that golden palm hits him!"
"That's true! The winner has been determined by that attack."
"Yes! Ling Yun is definitely the winner!"
The audience screamed boisterously when they saw Ling Yun's Golden Buddha Palm shoot towards Jiang Chen, and they also moved away from their original location, for they were afraid that the effect of the attack would affect them, especially since its power and size were really big.
Jiang Chen himself was shocked at that and immediately used his Earth Qi to create as many layers of defense as possible, but the Earth-Devouring Sable suddenly shouted at him. "Son! Get out of that place! Your defense won't be enough to withstand his attack!"
'But, Mom-'
"Run!" The Earth-Devouring Sable shouted at him again.
Hearing that, Jiang Chen immediately abandoned his intentions and moved very quickly to stay out of Ling Yun's attack range.
Soon, Ling Yun's Golden Buddha Palm hit the arena and created a palm hole that was quite deep, causing Jiang Chen and the audience to be flabbergasted after they saw it.
Ling Yun laughed at their expression. "How is it, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Chen looked at Ling Yun as he broke out in a cold sweat, and he answered him with a bitter smile. "Brother Yun! I will definitely die if I get hit by that attack of yours! I now fully realize that I am not your opponent, so I admit defeat to you!"
"Thank you for our fight, Brother Jiang!" Ling Yun said as he cupped his hands to him, and Jiang Chen also did the same.
The Earth-Devouring Sable heaved a sigh of relief after she heard that. She e then sat on Jiang Chen's shoulder and said to him. "Even though you have lost, you don't need to feel sad, Son."
'No, Mother. I don't feel sad in the slightest, but I feel more challenged to become stronger instead.' Jiang Chen replied as he smiled.
The Earth-Devouring Sable nodded in satisfaction at his words. "That's good! I really didn't go wrong in raising and training you!"
'Hahaha!' Jiang Chen laughed at his mother's words.
Long Wei directly announced the results. "The winner of this competition is Ling Yun! The second place is occupied by Jiang Chen! Yu Mei and Feng Qiong share the third ranking spot!"
Upon hearing that, the spectators immediately cheered up again, and they continued to shout the four people's names.
Ling Yun turned to Feng Ruxue and said to her. "You can give the winning reward to Jiang Chen, and you can also give those basic pills to him."
"All right." Feng Ruxue immediately agreed to his request, especially since the rewards were useless for Ling Yun.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and said to him. "Brother Yun, that's-"
"You don't need to refuse it." Ling Yun replied as he landed in front of Jiang Chen, and he then patted his shoulder. "Honestly, those rewards are useless to me since I've used all of them before, but they will be of great use to you, and I hope that you can become even stronger in the future."
"Thank you, Brother Yun! I will definitely not let you down!" Jiang Chen replied as he also patted Ling Yun's shoulder.
The Earth-Devouring Sable smiled at them. 'Jiang Chen, you should be proud of yourself; even this dragon acknowledges you!'
"Since this competition is over, I will return to my residence right now." Ling Yun said as he walked towards his women.
However, Jiang Chen suddenly asked him. "Can I come with you? I want to know how you trained to get this strong, and I also want to try to follow your training."
"Oh?" Ling Yun was taken aback for a moment and turned to Jiang Chen, but he immediately nodded to him. "After the distribution of the rewards, Ruxue will take you to my residence, and you can watch my training for yourself later."
"Thank you."
Ling Yun just waved his hand and walked over to his woman, but he then asked Ling Xi. 'What should I do about Luo Yan?'
"Do you want to release her or lock her up?" Ling Xi asked him back. "Moreover, Ling Ling's ice prison won't be melting any time soon, unless she melts it on purpose."
Ling Yun thought for a moment before he answered Ling Xi. 'Hmm? Bring her back to our former residence, and I will send her elsewhere later.'
Ling Xi immediately lifted Luo Yan, who was still trapped inside Ling Ling's ice prison, and brought her to their side. Tang Zhiyi immediately brought them back to Yunlong Zuzhai.
At first, Long Yuyi wanted to join them, but she remembered that Meng Xianzi would be arriving in four days, so she abandoned her intention and chose to stay with her family, especially since she wouldn't be seeing them for a very long time.
.
.
.
After they arrived at Yunlong Zuzhai, Ling Ling asked Ling Yun. "What are you going to do to Luo Yan?"
"Are you that curious?" Ling Yun asked back as he chuckled.
"Humph!" Ling Ling snorted at him.
Ling Yun pinched his big sister's cheeks. "Since Luo Yan is of no use to me, I will send her somewhere else."
"Hmm? Where are you going to send her?" Tang Zhiyi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Haha." Ling Yun gave a soft laugh and told them. "I plan to send Luo Yan to Lillith's place."
"Huh?" They were shocked to hear that, and Ling Yu'er asked him. "Are you seriously going to send her to the Demon Realm? Won't she turn into a demon if she stays there too long?"
"That's true." Ling Yun nodded in agreement with that. "Since she is an ordinary woman, she will slowly turn into a demon. However, I'm sure she will really enjoy her life in that place, especially since she is a slut."
They raised their eyebrows upon hearing that, but they understood what Ling Yun meant, and they chose not to inquire further.
Yi Mingxia suddenly walked towards them, as she said. "Son, we have prepared for a small banquet, and we will celebrate your victory later."
"You really don't need to prepare a banquet, Mom." Ling Yun replied with a helpless shrug.
However, Yi Mingxia shook her head at him. "Even though from the start we were sure of your victory, we still want to celebrate it. Moreover, we will be in seclusion starting tomorrow, right? So we will have fun today, and we will be serious in seclusion tomorrow."
"All right then." Ling Yun finally nodded in agreement. "Moreover, Bing'er will return to Lotus Sect tomorrow, so we can celebrate today."
Lian Bing nodded to him. "En, I will bring my other disciples back to the sect tomorrow, and I will prepare for my breakthrough."
"I will return to the sect with you, Sister Bing." Ling Ling said as she hugged Lian Bing's arm. "Since you've almost broken through, I'll be accompanying you for these few days."
"All right." Liang Bing nodded in agreement, especially since she knew Ling Ling's feelings very well.
Ling Yun then asked his mother. "Has that woman named Tang Liqin arrived here yet?
"She still hasn't arrived." Yi Mingxia replied with a shake of her head. "Perhaps-"
"She has arrived." Ling Xi suddenly spoke as she pointed towards the sky.
Soon, they saw a small flying artifact stop above Yunlong Zuzhai, and a young woman with black hair in two braids and wearing glasses looked down. "Hello! My name is Tang Liqin! Tang Wan asked me to come here!"
They laughed at Tang Liqing's voice, especially since her voice resembled a little girl's, even though her appearance looked mature.
Ling Xi immediately used her aura and pulled the flying artifact down, causing Tang Liqin startle and scream. "Ahh! You make me dizzy!"
*Swish*
After her flying artifact landed on the ground, Tang Liqin immediately jumped down, but she was surprised to see so many women in front of her. "Ehm! Are you Ling Yun?"
Ling Yun nodded to her. "I thought you would come this morning."
Tang Liqin smiled awkwardly and explained it to them. "My flying artifact broke down suddenly, so I have to repair it first."
They were stunned for a moment after hearing that, and Ling Yun spoke to her again. "In that case, Ziyi will send you to the Fortress directly, and you can cooperate with Yao'er and Xiao Yin there."
"En, I can't wait to see AI and the Fortress too." Tang Liqin replied as she stored her flying artifact, and Tang Zhiyi immediately sent her into the Fortress.
.
.
.
"Woah! This place is really similar to the secret room at the back of the hill! But these machines are much more advanced!" Tang Liqing muttered admiringly as she walked towards the control room.
Zhao Yao directly asked her once she entered. "Are you Tang Liqin?"
"Yes." Tang Liqin nodded to her, and her eyes lit up after she saw Xiao Yin. "Are you that AI?"
[Yes, my name is Xiao Yin, the AI in charge of controlling this Fortress.]
"I see." Tang Liqing then asked them. "So what are you two doing now? How can I help you?"
Afterward, Xiao Yin explained to Tang Liqin that they would build a power grid and a teleportation device, which would connect the Fortress and Yunlong Zuzhai.
