"Tianxin!"
Xue Bao immediately restrained Ren Shou, especially since the people in front of them were too strong.
Long De and Zhu Jiangshu were also shocked by their sudden appearance, but they were more worried about Meng Xianzi's presence among them because they had heard about her unfavorable reputation too frequently. Moreover, they also recognized the identities of Ling Xi, Nu Shen, and Lyra. 'A woman from the spirit race and two women from the elf race? What the hell with these people? Why are these strong people gathered in one place?'
Their gazes fell on Ling Yun, who was already in his half-dragon form, but they subconsciously took a step back because his presence exerted intense pressure on their bloodline, and his blood-red eyes ferociously stared at them. 'Crap! That guy is the dragon who broke through yesterday!'
However, they were even more shocked when a void door appeared in front of them, and Zhou Yu walked out of it in her true form. 'Jiange Xiuxi!'
Zhou Yu briefly glanced at them before walking to Ling Yun's side, and she removed the void walls before informing him about something. "Xing'er's clone and Feng Qiong have already returned to the Sword Sect, and I heard that Dan Qing wanted to join Zhong Cunhai in going to that tower, so they hurriedly returned to their sect."
"Zhong Cunhai?" Ling Yun then turned his head to the side with a raised eyebrow. "Do you know anything about that, Tian Yueling?"
"My mother told me that my grandfather asked those people to send the best of their generation to the mysterious realm to train in that tower, and Zhong Cunhai is the best of the Zhong Clan's younger generations, so you shouldn't be surprised by that." Ling Yun nodded understandingly, and Tian Yueling said to him again. "Moreover, my relationship with him ended a long time ago, and I'm your future wife now, so I won't be around him anymore either."
'Is he really the future son-in-law of the Tian Clan?' Once again, Long De and the others were shocked after hearing Tian Yueling's words, and they felt that they had been looking for trouble with the wrong people.
"I know." Ling Yun then looked at the people from the beast race again, and he unsealed Jiu Tianxin's cultivation before pushing her towards them. "You can go back to them."
"Thank... thank you." Jiu Tianxin felt really relieved by that, so she immediately flew towards them and hugged Ren Shou while sobbing. 'They didn't do anything to me, but you don't need to ask me anything now.'
'I know.' Ren Shou replied with a sigh of relief.
Xue Bao herself felt relieved after her disciple returned to them, and she looked at Ling Yun while nodding gratefully.
The other two people exchanged glances for a moment, and Long De cupped his hands against Ling Yun. "Thank you, I-"
"I didn't come here to make small talk with you." Ling Yun interrupted Long De as he released his chaos dragon aura, causing him and the other four to tremble strongly. "You guys must have guessed my identity, right? My mothers-in-law are the two beast women that you seek, and I hate it the most when others have malicious intent toward my relatives. At first, I wanted to kill that woman to give you a warning, but I changed my mind because you guys are a demi-human race. However, I did it not because I was afraid of you, but I did it for another purpose, which will determine the fate of this universe."
"What do you mean by the fate of this universe? Can you explain it to us in detail?" Long De respectfully asked.
Before Ling Yun answered him, Nu Shen had already spoken to Long De first. "Senior, I know that you always communicate with the members of the demi-human race scattered in other realms, so you should know that those heretics have already controlled many realms, right?"
"May I know your identity, Young Elf?" It was Zhu Jiangshu who asked her.
Lyra immediately introduced her princess. "Her name is Princess Nu Shen, the daughter of the Elf Queen Nu Wang."
"Huh?" They became shocked again after they learned Nu Shen's identity, and Zhu Jiangshu stutteringly asked. "Are... are you really the princess of the elf race?"
"Yes, I am." Nu Shen replied with a casual nod.
Zhu Jiangshu wanted to ask her again, but Long De immediately stopped her as he answered Nu Shen. "I have indeed heard about all those things, so I thought about meeting Tian Huang and Tang Chen, but I still have to discuss this matter with the members of my race, especially since most of them still remember the dark history between the two races."
"That's true." Nu Shen nodded in agreement with that. "However, history is just history, and we have moved forward over the years, so it's time for history to be forgotten for a better future."
Long De and the others smiled bitterly after hearing that. Some of them had indeed forgotten about the history of humans enslaving their race, but many of them still held grudges against humans.
"Do you know which realms have fallen into their hands?" This time, it was Meng Xianzi who asked Long De.
"Yes, Miss Assassin." Long De then gave several names of realms that had fallen into the hands of the heretics, which made them quite shocked, especially since there were too many of them. "However, there are several realms that we have to worry about because the natives in those realms are not humans, and two of those realms are the Brilliant Realm and the Netherworld Realm."
"Are you serious about that?" Long De nodded to Ling Yun, and he turned to Ling Xi. "Isn't the Brilliant Realm where the winged races live? As for the Netherworld Realm, I remember for sure that Helena came from that realm, and the inhabitants of that realm are demons and demon beasts."
"That's right." Ling Xi nodded and spoke to him. "Actually, I'm not surprised if those heretics can control the Netherworld Realm considering that Hundun is behind them, and he definitely helped them to control that realm. However, I don't understand how they can control the Brilliant Realm, mainly because the light element there is their nemesis; even that beast cannot possibly enter that realm."
"Big Sis, those heretics can control the Brilliant Realm thanks to the members of their race." Zhou Yu said that as she pointed at Long De and the others, which made Ling Yun and the others frown at them.
Long De sighed heavily and took out the device, which displayed the situation in the Brilliant Realm, and he also explained everything that happened. "Honestly, I myself didn't expect that those heretics could conquer Shen Yuan and his people, but everything has happened, and they were the ones who helped those people to conquer that realm."
Ling Xi then read Long De's memories to make sure that he wasn't lying to them, and he was indeed telling them the truth, but she then spoke to Ling Yun. "Hey, I know that you promised Mariel and Helena to take them to those two realms, but you don't need to think about other matters for now, and you should focus on your training in that tower. After we settle our business with our enemies, we can take them both away to those two realms."
"Yeah, you're right." Ling Yun then spoke to Long De. "At first, I came to you to offer cooperation, but I've changed my mind now, and I want you to do something."
"Hmm?" Long De was surprised to hear that. "What do you want us to do?"
"It's not something difficult." Ling Yun then showed two fingers to Long De. "I want you to send some of your best young generation to that mysterious realm, and I can help them become strong by training there."
"Can you really do that?" Even though she asked that, Zhu Jiangshu seemed to believe Ling Yun's words, given the presence of those powerful cultivators beside him.
"That's for sure." Ling Yun then took three pills and explained their benefits to them, making the demi-human race members' eyes light up. "Even though you are not completely beasts, you are half-beasts, so these pills are very beneficial for them. However, you can only send those who have no grudges against humans, and those who are not greedy and jealous, let alone those who are lustful. After all, I'll be bringing some of my wives to that tower, and I don't like it if other people are lustful towards them, or I'll kill them."
"Come forward, Tianxin and Shou." Long De decided without thinking twice, and both people immediately moved in front of him, and he spoke to Ling Yun. "Even though they previously wanted your two mothers-in-law to become their beast contract, they are actually not bad, and they are husband and wife, so I hope you can forgive and take them there. Besides, we will return to our valley, and we will send several people who fit your criteria."
"What do you think of them?" Ling Yun asked Ling Xi and Zhou Yu, especially since only they could read their memories.
"You can take them with us."
"I agree with Big Sis." Zhou Yu then explained it to him. "They are indeed not bad people, and they wanted to get contract beasts to help them become strong, but they chose the wrong targets."
