Meanwhile, Travis has arrived at the location of the former lab, but he is shocked to find that it is in ruins. Even more so when he found traces of Lucille's acidic slime and Lucas's lightning.
"What happened to this place, Master? How could this place be destroyed like this? And where is Mistress Lucille now?" Dong Qin asked as she observed the ruins.
However, Travis didn't answer her question, and his eyes kept moving, observing the traces of the previous battle. 'What really happened? Did Lucas betray us? Otherwise, Lucille won't fight him and make all our hard work fall apart.'
Suddenly, a man with long black hair and white clothes appeared at the place, and he brought a detector device to check the ruins. Soon, he raised his eyebrows and told Travis. "Leader, the person who destroyed this place wasn't Lucas, but a powerful cultivator."
"What?" Travis exclaimed in shock as he turned to the man. "Are you sure about that, Tang Lin?"
"Yes." Tang Lin nodded to him. "This device shows there is residual Qi left in this place, and its owner is even more powerful than you, Leader."
"Huh? Are you serious about that?" Dong Qin asked in surprise.
Tang Lin turned his head and glared at her. "Who do you think you are to doubt my words?"
Hearing that, Dong Qin immediately covered her mouth and took a few steps back. Even though Tang Lin's expression was flat, she could feel a terrifying aura emitting from his body.
On the other hand, Travis didn't seem to doubt Tang Lin's words. "Are you able to trace the owner of the Qi?"
"If you want me to track down the owner of the Qi, I will go to the Cultivator Realm right away." Tang Lin answered as he nodded. "However, I can't do it in a short time, especially since thepat place is very large."
"All right, you can go to that place to track down the owner of that Qi as quickly as possible, but you also have to be careful of those old cultivators." Travis decided without hesitation.
Instead, Tang Lin smirked upon hearing that. "You don't need to worry about them, Leader. Even though I've been in this place for a long time, with the new abilities I've developed over the past few decades, I'm still much stronger than them, and I can kill them easily."
"All right." After Tang Lin disappeared from his sight that instant, Travis wondered in his heart. 'What really happened? How could a cultivator intrude into this realm without me noticing? Could it be that Su Yuan and Nangong Ying'er brought that person here on purpose? But if they brought that person here, I would definitely notice that person's presence, yet I didn't detect anything before hand.'
"Master, do you think that person kidnapped the Mistress?" Dong Qin asked carefully because she didn't want to anger Travis.
Travis sighed heavily and nodded at her. "Judging from their previous battle, Lucille definitely killed Lucas, and that cultivator must have kidnapped her."
"So what are we going to do now, Master? Are you going to send one of them to look for the Mistress?" Dong Qin once again asked him. "After all, she knows a lot about our army's strength, so I'm afraid that cultivators will find out everything, which will be detrimental to us in the coming war."
"You're right about that." Travis answered with an approving nod; he then took out a device and contacted someone.
[Why did you suddenly contact me, Leader? Are we about to start a war with those guys already?] A woman's voice was heard from the device.
"We're not going to war with them yet, but we're in serious trouble now, Witch."
The Witch gasped at Travis' answer. [What really happened? Why does your voice sound so serious?]
Travis immediately explained it to her in detail. "Tang Lin has already gone there to track down that cultivator, but I'm sure he won't take his task seriously. I want you to go to that place to look for Nangong Ying'er and Su Yuan, and I believe they must be related to that person, so you can capture them and bring them to me."
[Ying'er, huh? I didn't expect her to return to this realm after so many years, and she would even dare to betray us by bringing another cultivator here. Don't worry, Leader. I will go there right now, and I will bring those two damn women to you.]
After she said that, the Witch immediately ended their communication, and Travis took Dong Qin away from the ruins, but he kept wondering in his heart.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun watched Xiao Yin, who was inspecting Lucille's body, and he then asked her. "Did you find anything strange in her body?"
[Master, this woman used herself for her experiments, and she implanted acidic slime DNA into her body.] Xiao Yin paused for a few moments before she continued. [However, I don't understand how she could do such a thing, especially since the technology on this planet isn't that advanced.]
"Hmm?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing that, and he looked up at Ling Xi. "Can you read Lucille's memories?"
"Unfortunately, I can't do it, for she also instilled a very strong barrier within her memories, and it's much stronger than the ones in Su Yuan's and the others' memories." Ling Xi replied as she shook her head and sighed heavily.
In fact, Ling Yun had already expected it, so Ling Xi's response did not disappoint him. "What do you think we should do with her?"
"In my opinion, it would be better if I turned Lucille like Alea, and she would be useful to help us against them later." Ling Xi said this because she knew that Ling Yun didn't want Lucille by their side, and he wanted to kill her.
Ling Yun sighed softly and nodded to her. "All right, you can make Lucille completely loyal to me, and we'll use her as cannon fodder later."
"Okay." Wasting no time, Ling Xi directly modified Lucille's memories; she made her completely loyal to Ling Yun and hate those blessed people greatly.
Ling Yun then asked Xiao Yin. "Where do you think they could get such advanced technology?"
[I can't say for sure, Master.] Xiao Yin answered as she shook her head. [However, judging by the looks of the lab I got from your memories, their technology is quite similar to my father's, but theirs is much simpler.]
"Does that mean someone from the Tang Clan has joined them?" Ling Yun asked her again as he raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Yin nodded to him. [Master, only that clan has seen my father's technology in this world, so I think your guess is correct, and It is possible that someone from the Tang Clan has joined them.]
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "What about Chen Xiang? Is the process to extract his profound veins still long?"
[Nope.] Xiao Yin shook her head at him. [The process will be finished soon, and I will directly implant them into your uncle's body so he can start cultivating tomorrow.]
"That's good." Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, and he then said to her. "Xiao Yin, I need you to check out Danielle's body after everything is over, and I hope that you can reverse her condition. That way, she can live freely again without having to depend on all those plants."
[Okay, I'll check the woman's body after I'm done with your uncle, Master.]
Ling Xi then told him. "Lucille is completely loyal to you now, but you can't send her back to that realm, or Travis will kill her."
"It's okay." Ling Yun also understood about it; he then sent Lucille back into the Yin-Yang Chamber, and he also told Danielle that Xiao Yin would inspect her body tomorrow.
However, Danielle didn't seem excited after hearing that, for she still wasn't sure that Ling Yun could help her return to normal again.

After that, Ling Yun returned to his room, but Situ Luan was already waiting for him inside, and she immediately said to him. "Thank you for saving Liang'er; our parents don't have to worry about him anymore now."
"You don't need to thank me." Ling Yun replied as he lay down on his bed. "Even though the effects of the potions have disappeared from Situ Liang's body, I'm not sure if he can live his life as normal as before."
"It's fine. At least he's back with our parents, and I'm sure they can help him get back to normal." After she said that, Situ Luan immediately lay down on top of Ling Yun, startling him.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going back to your room?" Ling Yun asked as he looked at Situ Luan in confusion.
Situ Luan did not answer Ling Yun's question and looked at him with mixed feelings, but she then sighed and briefly kissed his lips. "I still can't understand what exactly happened to me, but I feel jealous to see you together with your women."
Ling Yun sighed after hearing that, especially since he already knew that it was due to Ling Xi's actions, but he didn't blame her either. "It's okay; you are one of them now, so you don't need to be jealous of them."
"Really?" Situ Luan asked in disbelief.
Ling Yun rubbed her cheeks and nodded to her. "Yes."
