An old man collapsed on the ground, and his body was covered in various injuries, especially after he was badly beaten by the man in front of him, but his eyes kept staring at him in shock. "How... how did you suddenly appear in this place, Tang Lin?"
"Did you think that I was dead, Hongtian?" Tang Lin asked back as he crouched down in front of Xuanyuan Hongtian. He then took out a device and put it on his head. "I left this place long ago, and I didn't expect that your strength is still as weak as before, but I don't have time to reminisce about the past with you."
"Ugh! What... what are you doing to me?" Xuanyuan Hongtian asked in a trembling voice after he felt a sharp pain in his head.
Tang Lin smirked slightly. "I will literally steal all of your memories, and you will become an idiot."
"What?" Xuanyuan Hongtian let out a cry of shock upon hearing that. "Why... why are you doing this to me? We both have known each other for a long time, but you suddenly disappeared several hundred years ago."
"Haha." Tang Lin laughed evilly after hearing that. "Since you won't be able to remember anything after this, it doesn't matter if I tell you a few things. During these years, I lived in those blessed people's realm, and Travis is my master, so you are all my enemies now."
Xuanyuan Hongtian's eyes widened in shock after he heard that, and he used the last of his strength to contact Xuanyuan Xue'er, but he couldn't do so because Tang Lin had already left a device in front of the place, which blocked all connections from inside and outside. 'Damn it! I didn't expect that he was on the side of those blessed people now.'
"Your efforts are futile! As long as my device is out there, you won't be able to contact your friends." Tang Lin then told Xuanyuan Hongtian again. "As for my purpose in coming here this time, I wanted to investigate a powerful cultivator who had breached our realm before, and that person had destroyed my precious lab. At first, I wanted to find information about that person from the Tang Clan, but they suddenly disappeared from the clan, so I chose you as my target."
"Hahaha!" Xuanyuan Hongtian laughed after he heard that. "Even if you take all my memories and kill me, you won't be able to do anything against that person, for she is far stronger than all the cultivators in this place; not even Tang Chen can face her."
Tang Lin frowned after he heard that. "You underestimate me and Travis too much!"
"Haha." Xuanyuan Hongtian laughed and didn't speak further. 'Old Feng, you guys must be careful of Tang Lin; he is much stronger than the rest of us.'
Soon, Tang Lin had removed the device from his head, and Xuanyuan Hongtian became like an idiot right after.
Tang Lin then put the device on his own head, and Xuanyuan Hongtian's memories immediately flooded into his mind, which he immediately digested. However, his expression turned into shock after he learned everything from those memories, and he muttered to himself. "I did not expect that Ling Yun had enslaved Nangong Ying'er and Su Yuan, and he also had a good relationship with Michael. Besides, he has already spread our plan to all of them, and they have prepared to fight us. Moreover, he also killed Mammon, but I least expected that there was a spirit woman beside her, and she was much stronger than me and Travis."
Tang Lin then walked out of the place and picked up his device. "Since they've all prepared to fight us, it would be best if I finished off all those old cultivators before the war started, so no one would be able to stand in our way. Even though Ling Yun and Ling Xi are very strong, I don't believe that they can fight us all at once."
After saying that, Tang Lin immediately flew away from that place, and his next destination would definitely be the place of the other ancestors.

"Mom! Where is Big Sis Luan? Why isn't she in our clan?" Situ Liang asked his mother as soon as they arrived at the Situ Clan.
Nie Shuang turned to him and told him. "Currently, Luan'er is living together with Ling Yun, and we have blessed their relationship."
"What?" Situ Luang shouted in shock, and he then asked his mother angrily. "Why? Why did you allow Big Sis to have a relationship with Ling Yun? He has already snatched Feng Xing from me! And he also snatched her from me!"
"What do you mean by that, Liang'er?" Situ Han asked his son with a frown.
Situ Liang answered his father with a shout. "Big Sis is mine! She's only mine!"
"What the hell are you saying?" Situ Huan turned furious after he heard that. "Luan'er is your big sister!"
"No!" Situ Liang continued to scream. "She's mine! We've even dual-cultivated many times before, and we've always enjoyed our time together, but you guys gave her to that bastard instead!"
"What?" They screamed in shock after they heard that, and Situ Han immediately grabbed his son's shoulder. "What do you mean by that?"
Situ Liang stared at them with an angry look. "It's like I just said! Me and Big Sis have dual-cultivated many times! She- Gaw!"
Before Situ Luang could finish his words, Situ Han had already slapped him extremely hard, causing him to stagger backward. "How dare you do such a thing with Luan'er?"
Nie Shuang immediately grabbed his husband's hand. "You shouldn't blame our son; they must have done that because they were under Lu Wan'er's influence, so it's not their fault."
Hearing that, Situ Han immediately controlled his anger and nodded at his wife, but he continued to glare furiously at his son. "You're right. It wasn't all their fault, but Lu Wan'er's, and she must have been the one who forced them to dual cultivate. But what should we do now?"
'You'd better knock Liang'er unconscious first, and we can figure out a way to get him back to normal.' Situ Han nodded in agreement with his wife and immediately did. He then sealed Situ Liang's cultivation and locked him in his room.

Meanwhile, the people of the Chen Clan were confused about their situation, for they felt that something had happened to them but couldn't remember it at all.
Even Yu Guang, who was in the clan, felt confused after seeing that it was already morning outside. He clearly remembered that he was checking on Chen Xiang's condition, but he also felt that he had slept for quite a while.
"Ugh!"
The groaning sound startled Chen Wentian, Liu Zhen, Liu Ruyue, and Yu Guang, and they turned to see Chen Xiang, who had opened his eyes. However, they frowned after they couldn't sense his cultivation, and they immediately inspected his body at the same time.
"How is this possible?" The four people shouted at the same time.
Hearing that, Chen Xiang turned to them. "What happened? Why are you guys in such shock?"
"Ancestor, try to sense your cultivation." Chen Wentian spoke to him with a serious look.
"Hmm?" Chen Xiang immediately tried to sense his cultivation, but he was in complete shock at not being able to use his senses, let alone check his cultivation. "What happened to me? Why can't I do anything?"
Yu Guang took a deep breath and told him. "Ancestor Chen, I don't know what happened to you, but you no longer have profound veins."
"What?" Chen Xiang was in shock upon hearing that, and he asked tremblingly. "What did you say? How could that be possible? How could my profound veins disappear?"
"Honestly, I don't know what happened to us before, but I feel that I have missed a few things." Yu Guang then turned to Chen Wentian. "Try asking your people what day it is."
Chen Wentian nodded and immediately headed out, but he was utterly shocked after hearing from his men that it had been two days since Yu Guang had come to their clan. He then returned to Chen Xiang's room and told them about it, which also shocked them.
"What actually happened before?" Yu Guang muttered to himself.
Liu Ruyue then said to her husband. "Could it be Ling Yun who did all this to us? After all, he did that to Ancestor Chen before, and his profound veins have suddenly disappeared now."
Liu Zhen nodded in agreement with his daughter. "Ling Yun must have done this to us, but we also don't have any evidence of his involvement."
"So what do you think we should do now, Father?" Chen Wentian asked his father-in-law.
Liu Zhen could only sigh and shake his head. "Even if Chen Xiang and I join forces, we won't be able to do anything against Ling Yun. Besides, he has become an ordinary person now, and I can't possibly fight him alone."
"Hey, Old Liu! You have to help me get revenge on that damn brat!" Chen Xiang shouted as he clenched his fists tightly.
However, Liu Zhen shook his head at him. "Do you prefer your grudge over the safety of your family? For now, we can't do anything toward Ling Yun, especially with your current condition. If we persist in fighting him, I'm afraid our clans will perish like the Shui Clan."
