In the main hall, three people were sitting together, and they were discussing Ling Yun's actions against them; they were even more sure that he killed Chen Hong.
"Father, what do you think we should do now?" Chen Wentian asked Liu Zhen, who seemed to be thinking seriously.
Liu Zhen shook his head. "What can we do about him? Currently, people are praising him, especially after he revealed the location of the Mo Clan to Xuanyuan Xue'er and the others, and they were able to exterminate the clan now."
"That's true." Liu Ruyue agreed with her father. "Besides, I just received information that Feng Ruxue and the others had succeeded in destroying the Hundred Flower Sect, and they had also managed to free the men they had kidnapped before. I'm sure it was Ling Yun who told them the location of the sect."
"Yes." Liu Zhen nodded to his daughter. "Moreover, most of the ancestors were also on Ling Yun's side, so it would be a great loss for us if we were to become enemies with him now."
Chen Wentian's face darkened after listening to them, for he felt wrathful towards Ling Yun, and he wanted to seek revenge against him for Chen Hong's death, but he also had no solution to fight him without harming their clans.
"Is Chen Xiang still not awake?" Liu Zhen asked them.
Chen Wentian sighed at that. "Ancestor Xiang is still unconscious, and his condition is deteriorating; I doubt he can survive much longer."
"Father, do you still not know about the strange thing inside Ancestor Chen's body? He will surely die if his condition continues to decline, and our clan will be weakened if he dies." Liu Ruyue asked Liu Zhen.
"In my entire life, I have never seen such a thing, so I am helpless to help him." Liu Zhen sighed heavily after he said that, and he then asked them. "Have you guys tried asking Huo Ye about Ling Yun?"
"I asked her before, but Ye'er wasn't willing to tell me anything, and she asked me to accept Chen Hong's death instead." Liu Ruyue answered her father with an angry look, especially since Huo Ye was her granddaughter, but she sided with their enemy instead.
Liu Zhen also sighed after hearing that. "Anyway, I already contacted Yu Guang, but he might not be here in a few days, and I hope he is not too late to save Chen Xiang."

Meanwhile, Huo Yun was sitting opposite his daughter, Huo Lan, and he kept looking at her with a ferocious look.
"Why did you suddenly call me here, Father?" Huo Lan confusedly asked.
However, Huo Yun still didn't answer her question, and Huo Jun asked her instead. "Why did you lie to us, Big Sis? You told us that Huo Yin died because she went to a dangerous place to find an item for you, but she died at Ling Yun's hands because you sent her to kill him."
Upon hearing that, Huo Lan instantly froze, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. "Father, I-"
"Lan'er, you don't have to bother denying it; Yu'er has already told us the truth." Huo Yun immediately interrupted his daughter as he shook his head. "Honestly, I didn't want to do this to you, but you are no longer welcome in this clan."
"What?" Huo Lan exclaimed in shock after hearing her father's decision. "Father! I am your daughter! Why are you kicking me out of this clan?"
"Big Sis!" Huo Jun snapped at her. "Father was forced to decide for our safety! So you'd better leave now and go to a faraway place! Otherwise, you will die, and this clan will be destroyed!"
"What do you mean by that?" Huo Lan asked with a frown.
Huo Yun sighed and told his daughter. "Sooner or later, Ling Yun will come here to take revenge on you, and none of us can protect you from his wrath. If we insist on protecting you, then this clan will suffer the same fate as the Shui Clan, and I don't want that to happen to us. That's why I decided like this, so you can pack your things and leave right away."
"Father-"
"Leave!" Huo Yun shouted at his daughter as he pointed towards the exit. "From today onward, I forbid you to ever set foot in this clan again."
Huo Lan gritted her teeth and immediately left the main hall, and she left the Huo Clan immediately after she finished packing her things.
Huo Jun patted his father on the shoulder and said to him. "Although I don't want this to happen, I think you have made the right decision, Father."
"Yes." Huo Yun replied to his son with a regretful sigh, and he then called his wife to inform her of his decision.

Ling Yun raised his eyebrows when he saw Chen Qing and the others, but he remembered that they were Ling Yu'er's family, so he immediately ignored them. He then brought Jiang Chen to choose his room, and he chose to live together with Zhang Bing and Yi Shi in the west area, which was quite far from the main area.
"Hey, Little Niece! Does your husband always act like that towards other people?" Huo Ziqi asked Ling Yu'er.
Ling Yu'er shook her head. "Yun'er probably acted like that towards all of you because of that slut, but you don't have to think about it, and I'll speak to him later."
Huo Rui then said to her. "You better tell your husband that we don't care about Big Sis, or it will be uncomfortable for us to stay here if he acts like that."
"I know." Ling Yu'er nodded to her. "Don't worry, Yun'er will definitely understand once I talk to him."
Suddenly, Chen Qing told them about her husband's decision. "Your father kicked Lan'er out, and she has left our clan now."
"Huh? Is that true, Mother?" Yan Zilan asked in shock; he really didn't expect that his father-in-law would make such a decision so quickly.
Chen Qing nodded to her. "Your father was forced to make such a decision for the safety of our clan, for he was afraid that Ling Yun would consider us enemies because of Lan'er."
"Heh!" Ling Yu'er snorted after she heard that. "Since Grandpa has chased that slut out of the Huo Clan, I believe those men won't be willing to accept her, and she will definitely live in misery."
Chen Qing could only sigh after hearing her granddaughter's words, but she also didn't know how to mend Ling Yu'er's relationship with her mother.

After he talked to the three men, Ling Yun immediately went to see Zhao Yao and Tang Liqin to check the progress of the power grid and teleportation device, and Xiao Yin immediately informed him. [Master, the power grid will be completed in two days, and the teleportation device will be completed in a week.]
"A week, huh?" Ling Yun then asked her. "Can you speed it up? I think Bing'er would break through in a week, so I want to bring this fortress and Yunlong Zuzhai into the subspace before she breaks through."
[I can't promise it, but we'll try to finish it faster, Master.]
"All right." Ling Yun then asked her again. "Anyway, do you have something to seal Mana?"
[Oh? Are you going to those blessed people realm, Master?]
"Yes." Ling Yun then told her. "I'm going there tonight, and I want to capture one of their important ones, so I need something to seal her power."
[I think my father made a device for it once, but I need to find it first.] Xiao Yin then went to another area to look for the device she was referring to.
Zhao Yao suddenly asked him. "What about my mother? Have you heard any news from them yet?"
"En." Ling Yun told her directly. "Currently, they are not far from Lamia Palace, and they are waiting for Iris to get there."
"Hmm?" Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"By the time they arrived at Alexes' place, Iris had already taken her family away, and he told them that she might go to Lamia Castle to save her husband." Ling Yun paused for a while before continuing. "However, Leviathan, one of the demon lords is there now. That's why Mao and the others are waiting for her some distance away, or else she will notice their presence."
"I see." Zhao Yao nodded in understanding. "Even though Leviathan is in Lamia Castle, I believe she won't do anything to them if Duan Wu uses her Dimension Travel."
"That's true." Ling Yun replied as he nodded. "Wu'er's Dimension Travel is indeed unique; even Zhou Yu admits that."
Soon, Xiao Yin had returned to their side carrying a necklace device, and she gave it to Ling Yun. [Unfortunately, my father only made this one device, Master. If you want to seal the power of a Mana user, you can attach it to their neck, and it will absorb their Mana.]
Ling Yun received the necklace, as he asked again. "Can you make it again?"
[I can't make it, Master. Some of the materials for making it are quite rare, and they don't exist in this lower realm.]
"It's fine; I can use this to capture that person first, and I will think about the other mana users later." Ling Yun then said to them. "Anyway, the banquet will start soon, so you guys can stop for now and join us."
