At the front of the Icarus, Ling Yun stood there as he communicated with all his wives that he had left in the Sky Cloud Realm to monitor the situation in the realm, but he felt quite relieved because Zhou Yu and the others had already wrecked havoc on the Earth Cloud Realm, which forced them to delay their invasion of their realm. Back then, he didn't think about it, but he now asked Ling Ling to tell Meng Xianzi to use her dream creation technique on them so he could still meet them, even if it was only their subconscious. He also kept thinking about Lillia's condition, but he was still too weak to challenge Vadin in a fight. 'Mysterious tower, huh? I am hopeful that I will discover numerous intriguing items within; only then can our strength exponentially grow, and I can confront Zhu Ling.'
"Are you that impatient to fight with those beasts?"
"Yeah." Ling Yun then turned to Zhou Yu. "Hey, I want you to continuously suppress my aura while we train in that tower, especially since I'm having a hard time suppressing it myself, and Ling Xi also has to protect Ruxue and the others. Otherwise, those beasts will be afraid of me, and our trip there will be in vain."
Hearing that, Zhou Yu took out a small earring with a red tassel and gave it to Ling Yun. "You can use this item, and I imbued it using my void qi, which will neatly hide your aura, so the beasts won't be able to sense it before you take it off."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun observed the earring for a moment before putting it on his left ear, and transparent qi immediately enveloped his body. "This earring is really nice, and I can't even feel my own aura."
Zhou Yu smiled at that and took out a similar earring before putting it on her right ear, making Ling Yun smile and give her a soft kiss. "I've kept these earrings for a long time, and they signify our relationship as husband and wife."

"About a month if we keep flying in the void at our current speed." Ling Yun nodded in understanding at Zhou Yu. "However, we still have to go in and out of the void several times, especially since you have to complete the missions that will appear later, so my estimation might be a little off."
"Yeah, you're right." Even so, Ling Yun didn't think too much about it because the time limit of each mission continued to increase, and he could use his complete dragon form to complete it faster. "Have you heard from Lu Yi? Is she willing to restore Lillia's memories?"
Zhou Yu released a heavy sigh as she shook her head. "As I previously thought, Lu Yi is unwilling to help us."
Ling Yun felt really disappointed after hearing that, especially since he hoped that Lu Yi would be willing to help them, but the result was the opposite of his expectations. "Forget it; I'll think about Lillia's matter later, and we'll enter into seclusion for a week so I can save more Qi in my ring to break through to the Peak Saint Realm once I'm ready. If necessary, I'll break through to the Venerate Realm before we arrive at that tower, especially since my target is to reach the top and retrieve one of the body parts of the Old Dragon, which will increase my strength even more."
"Don't worry, I will help you reach the top of the tower." Zhou Yu suddenly raised her eyebrows when she saw a talisman flying towards her, so she immediately caught it. However, she was surprised after listening to the message from the sender, and she then told Ling Yun about it. "Hey, Hun Lingwang sent me a message, and he told me that Nangong Xiangling had just arrived in his place. However, she is pregnant, so he didn't do anything to her."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Hmm?" Ling Yun himself had no intention of doing anything to Nangong Xiangling, especially since there were no problems between them, and she was also Nangong Nichang's paternal aunt. "You can tell Hun Lingwang to accept her and help her remove the slave mark in her soul, so she will be free from the control of those heretics. Besides, tell him to prevent her from returning to the Sky Cloud Realm, or they will target her if they find out about her return."
Zhou Yu then took out a talisman that was slightly different from her own, whispered a few sentences to it, and it immediately flew out of her hand. "Let's go; we will enter seclusion right now."
"Yeah." Ling Yun immediately took Zhou Yu to his room, and he also asked all his wives and partners to follow them.

'What is he doing? Is he examining my soul?'
"You're right, I was indeed examining your soul, and I managed to find the slave mark." After all, Hu Lingwang was a member of the spirit race, so he also had the ability to read other people's minds, which surprised Nangong Xiangling. "I can indeed help you remove it, but I won't do it now, and I will wait for an answer from my old friend."
"Why is that, Senior?"
"Because it's none of my business." Hun Lingwang's reply stunned Nangong Xiangling. "Actually, I've been looking forward to your arrival, which was at my old friend's request, but I had no intention of helping you, especially since you and your brother are too stupid to fall into the hands of those heretics. Moreover, you guys have done some heinous things, and your souls are too dark for me to care about. That's why I sent her a message, and I'll only help you if she asks me to."
After hearing that, Nangong Xiangling was speechless, as she had already realized her mistakes. She never expected to fall into the hands of those heretics, and the person who brought her to them was her own brother. Even though she felt angry with him, she also loved him too much, and she decided to accept the situation.
"Hmm?" Hun Lingwang suddenly looked forward before catching the talisman that had just come out of the void, and he spoke to Nangong Xiangling after he listened to Zhou Yu's message. "You're lucky, you know? My old friend asked me to erase that slave mark from your soul, so I'll do it now. Even so, you can't return to the Sky Jade Realm for now, and you have to stay here, especially since the situation in that realm is very chaotic. Besides, your brother and his wife are now in her hands, and they are in deep slumber."
"Why did your old friend capture them, Senior?"
"Do you think I care about the matter?" Hun Lingyun stretched out his hand towards Nangong Xiangling while muttering something, and he immediately pulled her soul out of her body, causing her to become extremely panicked. "Relax; I won't kill you."
Nangong Xiangling looked down and saw a black mark right in the center of her soul, which was none other than the slave mark. However, Nangong Xiangling experienced a strange sensation as Hun Lingwang's hand entered her soul and grasped it, but she felt a sense of relief when he removed it.
Hun Lingwang did not immediately return Nangong Xiangling's soul to his body, and his expression appeared serious as he observed the slave's mark. 'This kind of slave mark should not exist in the upper realms, and the person who uses it must come from the supreme realm. Furthermore, my old friend told me that Hundun had already broken through to the Three Immortal Realms, so he should have gone there in the past.'
After a while, Hun Lingwang returned Nangong Xiangling's soul into her body, and she expressed her gratitude to him. "Thank you, Senior. I will never forget your kindness, and I-"
"You are useless in my eyes, and I helped you because of my old friend's request, so you don't need to think about returning the favor to me." Hun Lingwang then got up from his seat and walked out. "I've told you the situation in your realm, and I won't stop you if you want to go back there, so the decision is up to you. Besides, I'll be gone for some time, and you can stay here if you want, but you have to take care of this place."
Without waiting for her reply, Hun Lingwang immediately floated away, leaving Nangong Xiangling dumbfounded. Before long, she let out a soft sigh and stood up before walking out, and she looked at the surrounding areas, but she couldn't find any other living creatures there, leaving her in a dilemma about whether to stay. "I don't know what happened to my brother and sister-in-law, but I should stay here temporarily to give birth to my child, and I will return to our realm in the future."
