As Zhou Yu had expected, Ling Xi’s group managed to catch up to them on the 24th floor the next day, especially since they were helped by a group of cultivators who came from the supreme realm, the leaders of nature races, and other young cultivators.

Even the younger generations, who came from various realms all over the universe, were able to reach the 20th floor in just a day, especially since their numbers were too numerous. Moreover, almost all of them had cultivation in the five god realms, so saint-level beasts were not their opponents.

Even so, they did not immediately proceed to the 21st floor, and they chose to rest in the second safe zone.

Unlike them, Zhu Ling and Jing Shen had a hard time clearing out the beasts on the first floor, especially since they were just the two of them, and there were so many beasts.

Fortunately, Ling Yun’s anger had subsided quite a lot after he vented it on the beasts for almost a full day, and he was acting like normal again, so Ling Xi and the others didn’t harbor any suspicions.

Ling Xi led Ling Yun’s other wives, partners, and families to approach him. “I thought you had eliminated the beasts on this floor, but there are still quite a lot of them now.”

“Ha ha.” Ling Yun tried to act as naturally as possible, although his anger rose again after he saw Ling Xi. He then pulled the spirit of lust into his embrace and briefly kissed her lips, after which she glanced at Long Feng and the others before responding. “As you can see, our numbers aren’t as many as yours, and we also rested more yesterday, so we haven’t fought to our full potential.

Moreover, Zhou Yu already told us that all of you would arrive on this floor today, so we purposely waited for you guys, and we will clean up these beasts today.”

“I see.” Ling Xi nodded in understanding, glanced at the cultivators engaged in combat in other areas, and then informed Ling Yun of her decision. “At first, I wanted to follow your plan to leave Lian Bing and the others on the second safe zone, but I changed my mind after discussing with Wang Tianshi, so we took them away to the upper floors.

Moreover, we have Long Feng and the others on our side now, so it would be better if we took them away to the higher floors.”

“I think that’s fine, especially since the number of cultivators who have reached this floor is already too many now.” Ling Yun replied with a nod of agreement. “This way, Zhou Yu can protect them with her void walls, and you can also help her do that, so the beasts in the five god realms won’t be able to touch them.”

Ling Xi immediately agreed with that. “Yeah, you can leave their protection to me and Zhou Yu.”

Unlike her, some of Ling Yun’s women actually suspected that there was something wrong with their husbands, especially Lian Bing and Lillith, and they looked at him as if wanting to dig out information about his oddities.

Suddenly, Long Feng moved towards them and asked Ling Yun. “How about we move now, brother-in-law? With this many of us, I think we can reach the 30th floor in a day or two, and we can rest in the third safe zone. Moreover, we will face heavenly god-level beasts starting from the 31st floor, and most of your women are too weak to face them, so we can set up a new strategy there first.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Ling Yun then looked away and shouted. “Wu Gui! Ye Yuxian! Use your beast forms now! We will fight at full strength to reach the 30th floor in two days.”

After hearing that, the two mythical beasts instantly transformed into their respective beast forms, but Long Feng and the others immediately frowned upon recognizing Wu Gui’s identity as the black tortoise.

However, their seniors asked them not to ask anything, at least for now, and they asked them to focus on reaching the 30th floor as quickly as possible according to Ling Yun’s wishes.

That way, the mythical beasts and beast cultivators from the supreme realm immediately changed into their beast form before spreading out to various areas, and they started killing the beasts on that floor.

Ling Yun’s six followers also followed them in their beast forms, and none of them held back any longer, especially Jiu Shen, who was confident that Zhou Yu could protect them from her poison.

Wang Tianshi also led the cultivators from the Holy Land of Sword to join them, as did the Xuanyuan Sisters. However, Ning Fan seemed reluctant to fight with the beasts and chose to relax, making the people in their group sigh heavily because of his attitude, including his little brother, Ning Hao.

The other cultivators outside their group also started to move to other areas before fighting with the beasts, but Ling Yun forbade the other women, such as Lian Bing and the others, to participate in their fight, especially since their cultivation was below the venerate realm, and he ordered the black tiger to join the others.

They all realized their limitations, so they immediately agreed with him. Ling Yun then looked at the leaders of the nature races, but his gaze fell on You Ya, causing her to shudder because of his blood-red eyes.

However, Ling Yun didn’t say anything and flew straight into the air, shocking those cultivators from the supreme realm—aside from Long Feng and the seniors—with his complete dragon form.

‘Tch! My cultivation is much higher than that brat’s, but I actually feel afraid of him!’ You Ya grumbled in her heart before she looked at the group of beast cultivators and mythical beasts. ‘If he didn’t have their support, I would have beaten him up by now!

Unfortunately, I can’t kill him because he already has true immortal energy in his body; otherwise, I would definitely kill him to save our universe!’

Unfortunately, You Ya still didn’t know about the danger lurking within the chaos; not even Jia Yuyan and Lu Yi knew about it. Otherwise, none of them would think of killing Ling Yun, especially since their universe had no chance of surviving that danger if he died.

Time passed quickly, and they all finally made it to the 30th floor in a little over two days. However, Ling Yun asked them not to fight the boss on that floor, so he fought and killed it himself to complete his quest.

Once everything was in order, Ling Yun guided everyone to the third safe zone, instructed them to rest, and expressed his desire to take Ling Xi with him.

However, Lian Bing and Lillith had already approached Ling Yun first, and they immediately took him away to a faraway area, causing confusion for their other sisters and those people.

When they arrived at a quiet place, Lian Bing immediately asked her husband. “Are you hiding something from us?”

“Is there a problem with Sister Xi?” Lillith also asked Ling Yun. “I could see that there was pity when you looked at her three days ago, so Lian Bing and I thought so.”

Ling Yun sighed heavily and nodded. “Anyway, I don’t want Ling Xi to know about those matters, at least for now. That’s why I won’t tell the two of you about them, especially since they are too complicated and are all related to her past.”

Both women frowned after they heard that, but they realized that Ling Xi often read their memories without permission, so they chose not to force Ling Yun to tell them the truth.

Lian Bing then asked Ling Yun about something else. “Anyway, how long are we going to rest on this floor? Are we going straight to the 31st floor tomorrow?”

“Hmm?” Ling Yun thought for a moment before giving Lian Bing an answer. “I think it would be better if we rested for three days, especially since almost all of them have been fighting non-stop for the past few days. Moreover, the group of other cultivators will probably reach this floor in three days, so I want to wait for them, and they will be an additional help to us.”

“How can they move that fast?” Lillith asked in confusion.

“Haha.” Ling Yun laughed in response. “I made an agreement with Huang Lingzhu a few days ago, and she directly sent those people to the 11th floor. Plus, the strength of the beasts on that floor is still in line with the original, so they won’t have any difficulties defeating the beasts.”

“Then, what about Zhu Ling and Jing Shen? They should already be in this tower, right?”

Ling Yun nodded to Lian Bing. “Zhu Ling and Jing Shen are still stuck on the 1st floor because they have to face a huge number of heavenly god-level beasts, and it will be difficult for them to reach our location, so we have plenty of time to improve ourselves.”
