'Damn it!' Chen Xiang could only curse when he heard that, but he was also powerless to do anything, especially since he was no longer a cultivator.
Yu Guang only shook his head after listening to their conversation, and he asked them. "What exactly happened between you guys and Ling Yun?"
"Brother Yu, Ling Yun has already killed Hong'er." Chen Wentian replied as he sighed heavily, but he also felt complicated by their situation as their strength had dropped drastically, and Chen Xiang couldn't help them anymore.
"Hmm?" Yu Guang was shocked to hear that. "I don't understand why Ling Yun killed Chen Hong, but you guys better not prolong this matter. After all, the livings are more precious than the dead, unless you guys want your clan to be destroyed in his hands."
"You are right." Liu Zhen answered as he nodded. "I want to seek revenge for my grandson's death, but I certainly can't watch our two clans be destroyed."
Chen Wentian and Liu Ruyue's expressions became even more gloomy after hearing that, even though they didn't like their father's decisions, they still had to think about their clan members.

The Witch, who was confused after she couldn't find Nangong Ying'er since yesterday, suddenly felt several powerful people rush towards her. Without thinking twice, she threw a device at that place and immediately flew away, for she was sure that she would not be able to face them alone, but he kept watching the area from his hiding place.
Soon, the seven Archangels arrived and hovered over the Central Forest, and Jophiel asked Michael. "Does that Ling Yun really live in this forest?"
"Moreover, there are many powerful beasts in this place, so I find it hard to imagine humans living in such a place." Barachiel joined in the conversation.
Michael shook his head after he heard them. "That is why I have repeatedly told you guys that Ling Yun is no ordinary human, and many humans are equal to or stronger than me by his side."
"You are right." Uriel answered as he nodded. "If ordinary cultivators lived in this place, I believe they would have died at the hands of those beasts long ago."
"So how are we supposed to see Ling Yun? Are we just going to wait for him to see us?" Raphael asked Michael.
"We-"
Before Michael could answer his question, a space door opened in front of them, and Tang Zhiyi stepped out from inside, startling the Archangels. "Do you want to meet my husband?"
"Yes." Michael nodded at her. "Ling Yun asked me to come here two days ago, so I brought them here with me."
"I see." Tang Zhiyi took the device the Witch had thrown earlier and destroyed it instantly. "Anyway, my husband has been in the process of breaking through since last night, so he can't meet you all for now. However, you guys can wait at our residence, and we will welcome you as our guests."
Michael turned to his comrades, and they nodded in agreement with him, for they wanted to know Ling Yun's true strength. "All right, we will come with you to wait for him at your residence."
"After you pass through my space door, you will arrive at our residence, and my other sisters will welcome you." Michael then led the other six Archangels into the space door, and Tang Zhiyi then asked Ling Xi. "What are we going to do about that Witch?"
"Actually, Ling Yun doesn't want me to do anything to that woman, but I can't allow her to continue roaming around in our residence." Ling Xi replied as she observed the Witch with her senses. "Moreover, Tang Lin has already made his move, and he has done something against Xuanyuan Hongtian."
"Oh?" Tang Zhiyi turned to Ling Xi in surprise, especially since she had never meddled in other people's business as long as she had nothing to do with Ling Yun. "You have changed, huh?"
"Haha." Ling Xi laughed at that. "Back then, I couldn't care less about other people, and I only cared about Ling Yun. However, the longer I stayed with him, I slowly began to change, but I still wouldn't help people who had nothing to do with us."
"I think it's fine." Tang Zhiyi then asked her again. "So what is that Tang Lin doing now?"
Ling Xi then pointed toward the distance. "Tang Lin is out looking for Lei Guang and Huo Poyun, and they might meet the same fate as Xuanyuan Huangtian, who has become an idiot now."
"Huh?" Tang Zhiyi was shocked to hear that. "What did Tang Lin do to Xuanyuan Hongtian to make him like that?"
"Tang Lin stole Xuanyuan Hongtian's memories, so he already knows about us and our plans by now." Ling Xi casually replied.
Tang Zhiyi was even more shocked after hearing that. "Why didn't you stop Tang Lin?"
"Honestly, I want to stop Tang Lin, but I have a bad feeling about Ling Yun." Ling Xi replied as she turned towards their residence. "Since I have a soul bond with him, I can sense that something unusual is about to happen to him, and he needs an outlet to let that something out of him."
"Is that something unusual due to the influence of the Chaos Dragon?" Tang Zhiyi could only think about that.
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to her. "That's why I'm leaving Tang Lin alone for now, and Ling Yun will take care of him."
Tang Zhiyi nodded in understanding. "Even so, I think it would be better if you saved those Ancestors, Sister Xi. While I'm sure, we can deal with our enemies without their help, having more allies would still be better, right?"
Ling Xi sighed softly and nodded to her. "All right, let's save them, but we can't bring them to our residence."
"It's okay; I can move them to a place where Tang Lin and the Witch won't be able to reach them." Tang Zhiyi answered as she smiled.
Knowing her thoughts, Ling Xi let out a soft laugh and brought her away to save those people, and Tang Zhiyi directly sent Lei Guang, Huo Poyun, Long Weishan, Xiao Feng, and Jiang Yuan elsewhere.
After Ling Xi explained to the five men, she directly asked Feng Ruxue to bring the four female ancestors to their residence, and they returned to Yunlong Zuzhai straight after.

"Damn it! I didn't expect that woman earlier to be able to find and destroy my device so easily, so I couldn't hear their conversation." The Witch cursed loudly, but she didn't dare return to the Central Forest, especially after what happened before. "Who exactly is Ling Yun? How can a human like him be on good terms with Michael?"
Suddenly, the Witch was startled by the sound from the device hanging from her waist, and she immediately listened to the message she received, but her expression was horrid after listening to it. "Bastard! How dare he enslave my Ying'er! I will definitely kill him the next time I meet him! Tsk! No wonder he could breach our realm and destroy the lab; it turns out he had already done that to her and Su Yuan, and he also already wreaked havoc in the Demon Realm."
After she thought for a while, the Witch finally decided to leave her hiding place and flew away. "Tsk, I need to get back soon and tell Travis about all this stuff, so we can rearrange our plans, especially about our deal with Lucifer."

Meanwhile, the seven Archangels were standing together with Ling Yun's women as they continued to watch him, but some of them frowned upon seeing a black aura begin to envelop his body, which became thicker with each passing second.
Michael immediately turned his head and shook his head at them, for they must have assumed that Ling Yun was a demon, and he didn't want them to make a fuss in Yunlong Zuzhai.
However, Jophiel and the others were shocked when Ling Xi appeared in front of them, but her eyes only focused on Ling Yun, and her expression was also solemn. 'Michael didn't lie to us! This little girl is really strong!'
Yi Mingxia suddenly asked her. "Sister Xi, is Yun'er about to break through to the Soul Realm already?"
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to her. "Currently, their souls are starting to fuse, and he will break through to the Soul Realm after it's done."
.

"Hmm? Why did you suddenly call me here?" Ling Yun asked the Chaos Dragon as he frowned.
However, the Chaos Dragon did not answer his question, and his blood-red eyes continued to stare at Ling Yun complicatedly. Soon, he sighed softly and patted his shoulder. "Hey, Brat! I knew that you would break through to the Soul Realm soon, so this would be our last meeting, and I would disappear from this world forever."
"What?" Ling Yun then grabbed the Chaos Dragon's hand and asked with a serious look. "What happened to you? Why are you going to disappear? I still have many questions for you, so you can't disappear now."
"Hey, I've been dead for a long time, remember? However, I still maintain this thread of my soul for the sake of my successor, and you are my sole successor." The Chaos Dragon said as he shook off Ling Yun's hand. "You already have my bloodline in your body, and you will break through soon, so you need my soul to complete the process."
