"What happened, Big Sis? Why did you suddenly gather us together?" Murong Wan asked in confusion, and several other elders also stared at Lu Wan'er anxiously.
Luo Lan also asked Lu Wan'er. "What about the competition, Big Sis? Where are Luo Yan and Su Xin? Why don't they come back with you and Sister Yun?"
"Big Sis! Why do you keep quiet? Please explain to us all." Leng Yue also urged Lu Wan'er.
Hearing all their questions, Lu Wan'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She wanted to tell them everything that happened, but her mouth couldn't say anything. 'Sigh, if Big Sis Ying'er hadn't been captured by Ling Yun, none of this would have happened to us.'
Even Yun Zhu could only look at her sect's sisters with pity, for she was sure they would suffer the same fate as her and Lu Wan'er. 'Damn it! Why did things turn out like this? I can't even get away from him forever.'
"Big Sis, Ugh!"
Leng Yue had not had the chance to ask Lu Wan'er yet, but some powerful aura had already been pressed down on them, causing them to kneel with one foot on the floor and their breaths to become heavy. "Ugh! What's going on? Where is this pressure coming from?"
"You don't need to be confused; we were the ones suppressing you with our auras." Ling Yun walked into the room as he hugged Yi Mingxia and Tang Zhiyi by the waist.
Although they had never met Ling Yun in person, Lu Wan'er had already given them a lot of information about him, including his appearance, so his presence in their sect completely shocked them.
However, they were even more shocked when they saw Feng Ruxue and the four ancestors, which caused their bodies to tremble intensely in the presence of those powerful cultivators who were always hunting for them.
Leng Yue turned to Lu Wan'er and shouted at her. "Big Sis! What do you mean by this? Why did you bring them here?"
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed and said to her. "Leng Yue, right? You don't need to blame them; they are my slaves now, and a few of you will also meet the same fate as them."
"You! Mhn!" Leng Yue wanted to curse at him, but Ling Yun immediately sealed her mouth, making her unable to speak. 'This bastard! How dare he treat me like this!'
Murong Wan, Luo Lan, and several other elders were also shocked after they heard Ling Yun's words. They certainly didn't want to become his slaves, but the presence of Feng Ruxue and the others made them helpless.
Ling Yun then said. "Hey, Lu Wan'er! Which of these elders has joined you voluntarily?"
Lu Wan'er pointed at them one by one. "Luo Lan, Leng Yue, Murong Wan, Bai Lixi, and Yu Fei willingly joined me."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and immediately moved in front of them, and he passed his slave mark to Luo Lan first.
"No! I don't want to be your slave!" Luo Lan shouted at Ling Yun after she felt something rise within her soul.
The other four women were also frightened by that, and they wanted to commit suicide, but Ling Xi immediately moved to stop them.
"Do you think you have any other choice?" Ling Yun asked as he shook his head. "You guys are lucky that I still let you live, you know? If I wanted to do something even more cruel to you, I would send you to the Demon Realm, and you would definitely enjoy the rest of your lives as demons."
'Fuck! This guy is really evil!' The women cursed in their hearts as their bodies trembled even more at the thought of Ling Yun sending them to the Demon Realm, and they certainly didn't want to turn into demons.
On the other hand, the elders, whom Lu Wan'er did not point out, felt a little relieved, but they were also still waiting anxiously for what Ling Yun would do to them next. Even so, they had a feeling that he wouldn't treat them like Luo Lan and the others.
"Moreover, you guys will definitely enjoy being my slaves, and you can ask Lu Wan'er and Yun Zhu if you don't believe me." Ling Yun said as he pulled his hand from Luo Lan's chest, and he then instilled his slave mark on the other four women.
After everything was done, Feng Ruxue and the others immediately retracted their auras. He then said to the other elders. "You guys can stay in this sect if you want to, but if you want to leave this sect and return to your families, then I won't stop you from leaving, so it's up to you."
"Is that true? Can we return to our families?" One of them asked him.
Ling Yun nodded to her. "Since you guys joined this sect by force, I won't do anything to you. However, if you really want to leave this sect, then Ling Xi will erase your memories of it; only then can you return to your normal lives. "
"Are you going to enslave me if I stay in this sect?" One of the other female elders asked him.
Ling Yun shook his head at her. "Don't worry, I won't enslave you like them, and you can live in this sect freely."
Hearing that, Luo Lan and the others felt immense jealousy for those women, and they were annoyed that Ling Yun would treat them so differently. Even Lu Wan'er and Yun Zhu felt the same way towards them.
The elders turned to each other, and two women stood before Ling Yun. "We want to return to my family and live a normal life again, so please erase our memories of this sect."
Without waiting for Ling Yun's order, Ling Xi directly touched their foreheads and modified their memories, and she directly brought the two women to a nearby town right after.
Moments later, Ling Xi had already returned to Ling Yun's side. "Done! The two of them will never remember about this sect, and I also inserted some good things into their memories."
"That's good." Ling Yun then asked the remaining elders. "What about you guys? Do you want to stay in this sect?"
"Yes! We don't have any family anymore, so we will stay in this sect." They then introduced themselves to Ling Yun.
"I am Gong Liyu."
"I'm Yue Ye."
"And I am Li Ying."
"As you all know, I am Ling Yun, and I will be the leader of this sect from today onwards." Ling Yun then ordered Lu Wan'er and the others. "You guys gather all the disciples of this sect, and Ling Xi will free them from your influence."
Hearing that, Lu Wan'er and the other six women could only helplessly carry out Ling Yun's orders, and they immediately gathered their sect's disciples in the open courtyard, especially since their numbers were quite large.
Ling Xi nodded understandingly at Ling Yun, and she immediately followed Lu Wan'er and the others.
Ling Yun then said to the three women. "You can bring them to where those men are being held, and we will send them back to their families."
"Eh?" They were shocked to hear that, and Ying Li asked him. "If those men weren't here, how could we increase our cultivation?"
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed upon hearing that. "Since I'm here now, you guys no longer need them, and I'll be the one to help you improve your cultivation."
"Huh? Really?" Yue Ye asked in surprise.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "So you guys can take them to their location now."
"Yes!" The three women immediately brought Yi Mingxia, Jiang Chen, Feng Ruxue, and the four ancestors to those men's detention room.
Tang Zhiyi shook her head and hugged Ling Yun's arm. "Are you really going to dual-cultivate with them? I know that they are innocent, but they are not worthy to serve you."
"Why are you asking that?" Ling Yun asked back as he led Tang Zhiyi to the sect master's seat and sat her on his lap. "Of course I won't dual cultivate with them by myself, but I will leave one of my clones in this sect to dual cultivate with them, and I will harvest their Yin Qi through my clone."
"I see." Tang Zhiyi nodded in understanding and hugged Ling Yun's neck. "The first time I met you three years ago, you still looked so innocent, but the current you has become cunning and ruthless."
"I know." Ling Yun himself was also aware of the change in his character. "After all, we're all cultivators now, and we'll meet a lot of cultivators who might be more ruthless than me after we go to the higher realms, so I can't continue to be like the old me, right? Moreover, I have so many women by my side, so I need to become even better to protect all of you from any danger that might come our way in the future."
Tang Zihyi asked him again. "Are you also going to take all your slaves to the higher realms?"
"No." Ling Yun shook his head. "I will only bring a few of them, such as Kate, Shui Lan, Catherine, and Fei Xue.
"Hmm? Then what about the others?"
Ling Yun smiled and explained everything to Tang Zhiyi. "As for Layla, I will remove my slave mark from her soul, so she can be free again."
