“Eh?” The women were taken aback by Ling Yun’s words, and they spread their senses, causing their faces to darken. At least two hundreds people surrounded them, and they moved toward them in groups.

“Shui Clan? Why do they intend to ambush us?” Feng Qiong asked with a frown.

Ling Yun shrugged casually and said. “They must have come to capture me, one of my women is of mixed breed from the Shui Clan, and they have tried to kill her several times.” ｎｏｖ𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

After saying that, an ancient black cannon with a dragon head on the tip appeared in Ling Yun’s hands, and he then turned to Ling Xi. “I leave the woman hiding behind the clouds to you, and we’ll take care of them.”

“Oh? You noticed that woman’s presence?” Ling Xi asked in surprise, but those women were not aware of the woman’s presence hiding in the sky before Ling Yun warned them. “Where did that black cannon come from? I can feel the Chaos Dragon’s aura from it.”

“After my third seal was opened, my senses were enhanced even more, so I’ve been aware of the woman’s presence since earlier. Anyway, we’ll discuss it later.” Ling Yun immediately used his Space Shuttle Steps, and the women immediately scattered in various directions to fight the incoming enemies.

However, Ling Xi stopped Kate, Ling Xiya, Yun Mingyue, and Su Fei from coming with them. Although they have practiced fighting a lot, their cultivation is still low, and the number of their enemies is too many, which will harm them.

Ling Xiya then said. “Philia! You go help my Brother!”

“Yes.” Philia nodded, returned to her original form, and flew away in another direction.

Ling Xi looked in the direction Ling Yun had left. ‘I really like his current mindset, I don’t need to tell him anymore, and he can decide for himself now.’

*Boom*

“Argh!” Several dark blue-clothed men groaned in pain as soon as a powerful explosion hit them; some even died instantly.

“So you guys are the dogs of the Shui Clan, huh?” Ling Yun cold spoke, but he also felt shocked by the capabilities of his new weapon. ‘This weapon is excellent, rather than my apocalypse set, and this weapon can also transform into many weapons.’

Those people were shocked by Ling Yun, who suddenly appeared before them, especially after they saw the cannon on his shoulder.

“Capture him! He is our target!” One of the men shouted as he released a beacon to alert his other comrades, and those who were still able to move immediately dashed toward Ling Yun to capture him.

However, Ling Yun just looked at them with a shake of his head and jumped into space, and he appeared some distance behind them and fired his cannon at them again a few times.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

“Argh!” Although they tried to dodge Ling Yun’s attack, his attack speed was much faster than their movements, and only a few could avoid it.

However, Ling Yun did not stop there; he continued to move using Space Shuttle Steps and fired at them with the Chaos Dragon Cannon.

Powerful explosions continued to occur in the outer periphery of the Illusion Forest as Ling Yun continuously moved through space, and every time he appeared in another area, he immediately attacked those assassins.

On the other side of the forest, the people in dark blue clothes seemed to be running away in horror as Philia chased them in her true form.

“Fuck! How can a Gryphon side with that guy!?” One of the men was cursing as he kept trying to escape Philia’s pursuit. “Argh!”

*Splurted*

However, his speed was too slow compared to Philia’s, and his body exploded as soon as she roughly stepped on him; then, she went back to chasing the other assassins. Even if they didn’t intend to capture Ling Yun, she already hated humans too much, so she killed them without mercy and even tore a few of them to pieces.

*Crack*

There was the sound of bones shattering as one of the men in the dark blue shirt was instantly dead in the coils of the snake’s tail, and Zoe’s eyes fell on the other assassins, who were shaking to see her.

‘Shit! Why is our fate so unlucky to meet this snake demon? Moreover, she seems to be on that damn guy’s side.’ Those assassins inwardly thought the same as they couldn’t move, for their bodies started to turn to stone. That was the effect of Zoe’s innate ability, petrification.

After they were all turned to stone, Zoe slapped her tail at them and struck them, causing them to break into pieces.

“Phew! Using my innate abilitiy on multiple people simultaneously is tiring.” Zoe Cromwell said with a low sigh as she wiped her forehead, then turned her head towards the sound of the huge explosion. “Looks like Ling Yun is having fun there.”

The Heart of the Illusion Forest

Feng Ling’er suddenly stopped dancing, and her eyes fell on the two huge firebirds that appeared far from her location. Even though their locations were far apart, she had very sharp eyes, so she could see them clearly, and she muttered sadly. “Xing’er! Xiu’er! The two of you are getting stronger, I’m glad you’re both doing well, and I’m sorry I couldn’t accompany you two for these hundreds of years.

“Would you like to meet them, Ling’er?”

Feng Ling’er immediately turned to the voice, and she asked with a frown. “Even though I want to see my daughters, you still won’t let me go, right, Senior Cai?”

“Well, at first, I didn’t want to let you go for now, but someone forced me to let you go for the sake of your daughters.” Cai Hudie explained it as she stood beside Feng Ling’er. “Even though I have to obey his orders, I will still give you one condition to let you go. If you are willing to fulfill my condition, I will send you directly to your daughters’ place.”

“Whatever your condition is, I will fulfill it, Senior Cai.” Feng Ling’er said excitedly; she didn’t care about any conditions Cai Hudie would put on her as long as she could reunite with her daughters.

Cai Hudie looked at Feng Ling’er and said it with a smile. “You must take my place at my Master’s side for now because he needs my bloodline to control his bloodline, and I will give it to you so you can do it.”

“Master?” Feng Ling’er asked in surprise; a beast as strong as Cai Hudie would admit someone as her Master. “Who is your Master, Senior Cai?”

“If I’m not mistaken, my Master is the husband of one of your daughters, for I can sense his qi in her body. If you accept my condition, you will also become his wife, especially since my bloodline and I were born to serve and satisfy my Master’s lust.”

Feng Ling’er was dumbfounded upon hearing Hudie’s answer, and her mouth fell open; she was speechless for quite a while. Before long, she took a deep breath and answered with determination. “As long as I can reunite with my daughter, it’s fine for me to be your Master’s servant and gratifier, so I’ll accept your condition, Senior Cai.”

“Very well, let’s start now.” Cai Hudie then ordered her to sit cross-legged, bit her own finger, and a lump of colorful blood appeared on her finger. After that, she flicked it toward Feng Ling’er and entered her body directly.

“Ugh!” Feng Ling’er groaned in pain, and a bright red aura enveloped her body instantly, but it slowly turned colorful, especially since Cai Hudie’s bloodline began to merge with her body.

After that, Cai Hudie did nothing and continued to observe Feng Ling’er, and she muttered to herself. ‘Hey! This is the first time a beast will have two bloodlines simultaneously, Phoenix and Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly Bloodlines, and she will become even stronger in the future.’

“Shit! Why are these women from the Feng Clan also helping that man!” One of the men in the dark blue clothes cursed, and they quickly used their Water Qi Barriers; he and his colleagues tried to withstand the two firebirds flying towards them.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the two firebirds contained phoenix flames. Although Feng Xing and Feng Xiu’s flames were not pure phoenix flames, they were enough to evaporate their Water Qi Barriers and burn them to ashes.

*Boom*

Their combined attacks caused a huge explosion in the area, and their technique created a large crater; even the trees around the area were reduced to ashes.

“Yay!” Feng Xiu and Feng Xing high-fived after their enemies disappeared. After all, they were siblings, and only the two could use that combined attack within the Feng Clan.

Feng Xing then looked toward the heart of the forest and said proudly. “Have you seen our firebirds, Mom? Xiu’er and I have already successfully mastered the technique you gave us.”

“I’m sure our mom must have seen our firebirds, Big Sis.” Feng Xiu said with a smile as she also looked in that direction.

Feng Xing nodded to her little sister. “En, I hope that woman lets go of our mom soon; I can’t wait to see her again after hundreds of years.”

“Me too! I also can’t wait to see her again.” Feng Xiu then turned around. “Let’s go, Big Sis. We still have a lot of assassins to kill.”

“Yes.” They then moved to another area.
