"Hmm?" Tang Lin raised his eyebrows for a moment before he shouted to the two women beside him. "Run now!"
"What's wrong with you? Why-? Azalea had not finished asking when the area around them suddenly blackened, shocking them.
Without thinking twice, they immediately took out their escape devices, but the moment they tried to activate them, the three devices immediately flew out of their hands and shattered instantly.
Seeing that, the three people immediately took out their weapons, but their weapons also met the same fate as their escape devices.
"What the hell?" They were really shocked to see that, especially since their weapons were created from an unusual metal, even Travis couldn't destroy them.
Soon, Ling Yun and the three women appeared before them, and Lyra immediately took a few steps back, for his blood-red eyes and aura frightened her.
Sensing that, Azalea turned to her friend and asked with a frown. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so scared of him?"
"That guy... that guy is evil." Lyra answered in a trembling voice.
Wasting no time, Tang Lin threw a device in front of them, and a barrier immediately appeared from it.
However, Meng Xianzi shook her head and flicked her finger, and the barrier was destroyed instantly.
'Fuck! Who is that woman? How could he destroy my barrier just like that?' Tang Lin muttered with shock in his heart.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun still didn't say anything, but his blood-red eyes glowed in the darkness, and they continued to watch the two women.
Seeing him keep looking at her and Lyra, Azalea smiled faintly and used her ability to take over and control Ling Yun's consciousness and feelings. However, as soon as she did that, her smile instantly disappeared, and her gaze went blank.
Ling Xi and Meng Xianzi raised their eyebrows after they noticed Azalea's expression, and they exchanged confused looks, for they did not understand what had happened to her.
However, Long Ma smiled faintly, for she could guess what happened to Azalea. 'What a stupid mortal! Did she really think she could control my master with her inferior abilities?'

Meanwhile, Azalea was in shock after she entered Ling Yun's consciousness, especially since it was pitch black. "What the hell with this guy? How can his consciousness be so dark?"
"Are you surprised?"
Ling Yun's voice startled Azalea; she then looked back in shock, but he only smiled faintly at her from atop a black dragon. "Impossible! How can you still control your consciousness?"
"Danielle already told me about your ability, so I had anticipated it, and I was purposely waiting for you to use it on me." Ling Yun instantly snapped his fingers, and several black chains instantly bound Azalea's hands and feet.
Azalae panicked at that, and she tried to cancel her ability, but she still couldn't get out of Ling Yun's consciousness. "What... what happened? Why can't I get out of this place?"
"If you had used your ability on me before I broke through, I would have fallen under your control by now." Ling Yun said as he floated towards Azalea; he then lifted her chin and spoke to her again. "Unfortunately, you were too late, and I have already broken through to the Soul Realm. Moreover, the fusion of my soul with the Chaos Dragon made some parts of me stronger, especially my soul and consciousness, and your abilities are useless in front of me. Instead, you are under my control now, and your two friends don't even notice it."
"No!" Azalea screamed as she tried to free herself from the black chains that bound her.
"It's useless." Ling Yun said as he shook his head. "You are in my consciousness now, and I have complete control over it, so you won't be able to free yourself."
"Let me go!" Azalea shouted at him.
Ling Yun only smiled faintly. "Just enjoy your time here, and I'll use you to slaughter your people."
"Fuck! I didn't expect to fall into his trap!" Azalea cursed loudly after Ling Yun disappeared, and she kept trying to free herself.

After he returned to his body, Ling Yun immediately nodded to Azalea, and she immediately took out a short sword from under her dress. She then turned to Lyra and stabbed her in the chest directly.
"Ugh!" Lyra groaned in pain at that, blood pouring from her mouth and chest. "Why? Why did you attack me, Witch?"
"Witch! Have you gone mad? Why did you attack Lyra?" Tang Lin shouted in shock and tried to grab her shoulder, but Azalea immediately reached out and stopped him from moving. "Damn it! What do you mean by this? Why did you betray us?"
"You're both wrong if you guys think she's betraying you." Ling Yun finally spoke to them. "She tried to control me with her abilities, but it backfired on her, and she is under my control now."
Tang Lin and Lyra were shocked upon hearing that, and this was the first time they had heard that someone was able to escape Azalea's control, but they found it out too late.
"Gah!" Lyra groaned in pain once again as Azalea pulled her short sword out of her chest, causing her blood to spray all over her body, and she fell to the ground in the aftermath. However, she immediately used her Light Mana to heal her wound, but it was quite severe and could not heal quickly.
Ling Yun glanced at Lyra before he walked to Tang Lin; he then grabbed his head and spoke to him. "You like stealing other people's memories, right? In that case, I'll use your soul to strengthen mine."
"No! Stop it!" Tang Lin screamed loudly.
Ling Yun naturally paid no heed to him; he directly used the Chaos Dragon Soul Absorption Technique and pulled Tang Lin's soul out of his body, causing him to lose his life instantly.
Following that, a black claw emerged from Ling Yun's chest, which immediately pulled Tang Lin's soul into his body. He closed his eyes to observe the soul, but he shook his head to see his dark soul and devil soul scrambling to absorb the soul, so he immediately split it into two, and they absorbed half of each.
Meng Xianzi and Ling Xi took a deep breath after they saw that, and their expressions became a little ugly. Even though they were both strong cultivators, and one of them was an assassin who had killed many people, they still felt horrified at sight.
On the other hand, Long Ma was not surprised to see that, for she already knew about it from the memories passed down through her bloodline. 'Master, I don't want you to become evil like the Chaos Dragon, so please don't use that technique too often.'
Soon, Ling Yun turned to Lyra, and he immediately took out the Chaos Dragon Scythe.
Seeing that, Lyra trembled violently and immediately closed her eyes to accept her death, but just as Ling Yun was about to kill her, Ling Xi immediately flew to his side and stopped him. "Don't kill her."
"Why are you stopping me?" Ling Yun asked with a frown.
Ling Xi sighed softly and explained it to him. "Ling Yun, this elf is not a member of their race, but she happened to be stranded on this planet, and Azalea has already done the same thing to her as she did to Tang Lin, so I hope you don't kill her."
As she approached Ling Yun, Meng Xianzi joined in to persuade him. "Basically, elves are not evil creatures, and they are actually very kind and gentle creatures."
"However, there is one very evil race of elves, and they will do anything for their benefit." Ling Yun turned to Long Ma with a raised eyebrow, and he immediately told him. "Unlike this female elf, those people are dark elves, and you will probably meet them after you go to higher realms in the future, Master."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and stored his scythe again, causing the three women to breathe a sigh of relief that he had not lost his humanity after his soul fused with the Chaos Dragon. "So what should I do with her?"
Ling Xi thought for some time before answering him. "Since Azalea is already under your control, you can use her to reverse the effects of her ability on this woman, so she can return to her true self again."
Lyra felt confused listening to their conversation, especially since she never realized that Azalea had done something to her, but she was also relieved that Ling Yun didn't kill her.
Ling Yun nodded to Ling Xi, and Azalea looked directly into Lyra's eyes and reverted the effect of her technique to her, causing her body to tremble from shock and fall into unconsciousness.
After that, Ling Yun immediately carried Lyra and flew away from that place. "Let's go back."
Meng Xianzi immediately grabbed Azalea's shoulders, and they also immediately left the place.

After they arrived at Yunlong Zuzhai, Ling Yun took Lyra to her mother's room and asked Yi Mingxia to treat her.
Although she felt confused by her son's request, Yi Mingxia still complied with it, and she immediately treated Lyra. "Son, I'm really relieved now, for you are still the same after your soul has merged with the Chaos Dragon."
"Don't worry, Mom. I will never change." Ling Yun replied as he hugged his mother from behind and kissed her on the forehead.
