After Yi Mingxia fell asleep from exhaustion, Ling Yun quickly got dressed and left her to rest, and he went to meet the women who had gathered in the living room. “So, who wants to come with me to the cultivator realm? I haven’t fought beasts in a long time, so I want to fight them again to hone my combat skills.”

“I’ll come with you.” Ling Ling and Yi Shu were the first to reply, especially since they were experienced cultivators.

“Me too, brother!” Ling Xiya said as she raised her hand.

Su Fei also answered him. “I’ll also come with you; I need to ask mother some things about alchemy I don’t understand.”

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jing made up her mind. “I don’t want to continue to be a burden to you, so I also want to train together with you.”

Ling Yun then glanced at the other few women, but Ling Xi immediately spoke to him. “The others aren’t ready for a real fight yet, especially your grandma, so let them stay here to train with Xiao Xiao and the others first.”

“All right, then.” Ling Yun agreed with her.

In his opinion, Ling Yin and Song Mei are not ready to fight.

As for Yi Mingzhu, Zhao Yao, Tang Zhiyi, Liu Qiyue, and Duan Wu still needed to take care of his company’s business.

Ling Xi then spoke to those women. “Even though some of you are busy with other matters, sooner or later, you guys will also have to practice fighting. So I hope you guys train properly under the guidance of Xiao Xiao, Shi Yao, and Lei.”

“Yes.” The women answered in unison.

Ling Xi then informed Tang Zhiyi. “I’ve contacted someone to specifically train you, but she won’t be here for a few days, so you can train together with them for the time being.”

“En, I understand.” Tang Zhiyi replied with an approving nod.

After that, Ling Yun immediately took out his device and activated it, and the seven of them immediately entered the portal.

Ling Yun’s room at the Feng Clan.

As they walked out of the portal, they heard someone sound surprised by their presence. “Eh?”

“Oh? Why are you in my room, Xing’er?” Ling Yun asked as he approached Feng Xing, who was lying on the bed, and he then lifted her up, hugging her. “Do you miss me?”

“En.” Feng Xing nodded and hugged him back, but she complained to him. “It’s been 11 days since we last met, but you never come here anymore, so I miss you.”

“I’m sorry, I have a lot of business in the outside world, so I haven’t been able to see you before.” Ling Yun said apologetically as he rubbed Feng Xing’s back.

Ling Ling suddenly teased her. “Sister Xing! If you miss Yun’er that much, why don’t you stay with us later? That way, you can see him every day.”

“Hmm?” Feng Xing looked at Ling Ling and nodded. “You’re right. I’ll ask Madam Feng permission first to stay with you guys.”

“I don’t think you need to do it; my mom won’t mind if you want to stay with us.” Su Fei spoke as she laughed, and she then said to him. “I’ll go see my mother first.”

“Let’s go. We will go to the nearest forest to practice fighting beasts.” Ling Yun then took Feng Xing’s hand and introduced her to Ye Jing, Ling Xiya, and Yi Shu.

After leaving the room, Ling Xi immediately enveloped them in her qi, flying them into the forest.

When they got there, Ling Xi immediately instructed them. “Ling’er and Shu’er, you guys can practice independently since you two are experienced enough.”

“Yes.” Ling Ling and Yi Shu immediately scattered in different directions to look for beasts that matched their strength.

“Little Xing, I want you to train Jing’er and Xiya and teach them how to fight beasts properly.”

“All right.” Feng Xing then grabbed Ye Jing and Ling Xiya’s shoulders, bringing them to the beasts whose strength was on par with their cultivation.

“As for you, we will go into a deeper area and look for beasts that are slightly stronger than you.” Ling Yun nodded to her, and Ling Xi took him to a deeper forest area and left him there.

After that, Ling Xi flew up into the sky, and she kept her eyes on Ling Yun and the women, muttering to herself. “This place is quite big, but it’s not a big problem for me.”

Ling Xi then spread her senses all over the cultivator realm, but none of those cultivators could detect her actions, not even Xuanyuan Xue’er, the strongest cultivator in the place.

“Oh? So she’s that woman called Xuanyuan Xue’er?” Ling Xi muttered to herself as she continued to observe her with her senses. “She is indeed worthy of being the strongest in this realm; her sword qi is powerful, but the aura that emanates from her body is icy.”

After that, Ling Xi took a peek at the Long Clan and was quite surprised to see Long Wei training. “Hey, his spearman-ship is quite good, and his brute strength is also quite strong.” .𝒐𝙧𝒈

Ling Xi then scanned the various other areas and aimed to find the devil cultivator supporting the Mo Clan from behind the scenes. However, after she searched for quite a while, she still couldn’t find the person. “Sigh, as expected, that person must be hiding in a private realm; only then can that person avoid my senses.”

“Hmm?” Ling Xi suddenly turned her head in a specific direction and raised her eyebrows, sensing activity from that direction. “Oh? What a surprise! It turned out that the rainbow flower fell into that demon beast woman’s hands! No wonder, Ruxue couldn’t detect her; it was because she had extraordinary camouflage abilities. Unfortunately, if she used the flower to break through with her current condition, she will inevitably fail, worsening her condition.”

Ling Xi flew down beside Ling Yun, who was fighting a snake beast. “Hey, leave the beast alone for now, and I’ll take you somewhere interesting.”

Ling Yun had not had the chance to say anything yet, but Ling Xi had already grabbed his shoulder and carried him flying with her very quickly.

Moments later, they landed on a large tree branch, and Ling Yun asked her. “Why did you bring me here?”

“Looks over there.” Ling Xi pointed at the shoulder-length black-haired woman sitting cross-legged, her eyes locked on the rainbow flower in her hand. “Try to scan the woman.”

Ling Yun turned toward the woman with a raised eyebrow. ‘Hey, system, scan her!’

“Infernal Bird? What kind of bird is it?” Ling Yun asked curiously as he observed Helena.

Ling Xi immediately explained it to him. “Infernal Birds, they have a raven-like appearance with red eyes. Their real bodies are huge, their feathers are pitch black, and their strength is terrifying. Apart from having sharp beaks, they also have powerful claws. But the most terrifying thing is their hidden third eye, which can emit the Hell Black Flames, but eyes are also their main weakness.”

“A raven, huh?” Ling Yun continued to observe Helena, who was still trying to break through to the Lower King Realm.

After she swallowed the rainbow flower, Helena’s body was enveloped by pitch-black flames, and the area around her instantly turned to ashes as soon as they were hit by her flames. Plants, tiny living things, and even the surrounding rocks also turned to ashes.

“Her black flames are terrifying.” Ling Yun’s body trembled slightly, and he began to be drenched in sweat. Even though they were pretty far from her, he could feel the heat generated by Helena’s pitch-black flames.

Ling Xi immediately waved her hand to make a shield for him; only then could he feel relieved, and she spoke to him. “Do you want to make a contract with her? She’s no ordinary Infernal Bird, and I’m sure she isn’t a demon from this realm because her demon bloodline is extremely pure. If you can make a contract with her, she will greatly help you in the future.”

“Make a contract with her?” Ling Yun did not deny his interest in Ling Xi’s idea. If he could have a beast contract like Helena, she would greatly help him later.

“Your luck seems to be very high.” Ling Xi laughed as she continued to monitor Helena’s situation; Ling Yun looked at her in confusion. “Trust me, she will fail to break through, and she will suffer a backlash for her failure. That way, her mental state will be at the bottom, so you can easily make a contract with her.”
