Chapter 691 [Bonus chapter] Tang Jingling
“Haha!” The woman laughed after seeing Mu Shu’s true form, then groped her cheeks with a little excitement. “You are already this big now, Little Shu! When I last saw you, you were still such a crybaby.”
“Ugh!” The woman’s attitude irritated Mu Shu, so she stopped her and asked her. “What’s your name, Big Sis? Why can’t I remember you?”
“Do you really not remember me, Little Shu?” The woman asked as she put on a sad look. “Back then, I often went to visit Yanyan at your house in the Endless Darkness Realm, so I often met you too, but you actually forgot about me.”
‘If this woman lived on earth, she would definitely be a top actress!’ Ling Yun muttered in his heart after he saw the woman pretending to be sad so realistically that even a few tears dripped from her eyes.
Mu Shu massaged her forehead as she shook her head. “I really can’t remember you, but I remember that only a few of my Big Sis’ closest friends called her Yanyan.”
“That’s true!” The white-haired woman nodded and wiped away her fake tears. “Apart from me, there are only five other people who dares to call her Yanyan, and one of them is Jian Xian. Otherwise, your big sister will give them strange potions, which will make them suffer a lot.”
‘Jian Xian?’ Tang Beng gasped in shock after hearing that. ‘Is it true that this woman’s big sister has a good relationship with that sadistic woman?’
Mu Shu then asked her again. “So what’s your name, Big Sis?”
“Haha.” The white-haired woman then hugged Mu Shu’s arm and pulled her into the clan. “Remember, my name is Tang Jingling! I will punish you if you dare to forget my name again.”
“You are no different from my big sister.” Mu Shu said as she sighed helplessly. “Big sis always threatens me with punishment.”
“Hehe.” Tang Jingling giggled and turned to Tang Beng. “Elder, you can lead our guests to the guest rooms, and my parents will meet them after they finish discussing matters with my grandfather and great-grandfather.”
“Yes, Young Miss.” Tang Beng then turned to Ling Yun and Tang Yixiu. “Follow me; I will take you to the guest room for now, and the patriarch will meet you later.”
“Thank you.” Tang Yixiu said as she followed Tang Beng.
As he followed Tang Beng, Ling Yun looked up at Ling Xi and asked her. ‘Who is Jian Xian? Why does this old man look so shocked after he hears her name?’
“Jian Xian is one of the best female swordsmen in this universe, and her cultivation should have reached High Supreme God Realm by now, but her temperament is really bad.” Ling Xi explained to him as she observed the white-haired woman. “Anyway, I forgot to tell you that after we left the Earth, Yanyan went there and brought the Xuanyuan Sisters with her, and she sent them to that woman’s place.”
‘Eh?’ Ling Yun was surprised after he heard that, for he remembered for sure that Xuanyuan Xue’er decided to stay on earth to protect her clan, but instead she went to the higher realms with Mu Yan. ‘Is it true that they went to that woman named Jian Xian’s place? And in which realm does she live?’
“Yes.” Ling Xi nodded to him. “Jian Xian lives in the Holy Land of Sword, but I’m not sure if you’re interested in going to that realm, especially since only sword masters and sword makers live there. Besides, that realm is quite far from these three realms.”
‘Oh?’ Ling Yun was even more surprised to hear that. ‘If that’s true, I want to go to that realm in the future, but I will do so once our lives are stable. Anyway, who is more terrifying between Jian Xian and my master?’
“They’re both terrible in their own ways.” Ling Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Ling Xi explained it to him. “Meng Xianzhi didn’t like doing flashy stunts, and she always killed her enemies secretly through their dreams. Jian Xian was completely her opposite, and she always killed her enemies in front of the public; she even chopped their bodies into small pieces before giving them to the beasts.”
*Gulp*
Ling Yu gulped hard upon hearing that, and he felt that he was cruel enough, but there were still many other cultivators who were much crueler than him.
Ling Xi then said it to him again. “If you think they are very cruel, then you are wrong about them. Honestly, they are still not as cruel compared to that evil guy, and his actions are truly heinous.”
‘Evil guy? Who is he?’
Ling Xi took a deep breath before telling him. “His name is Xie Zhu; he is the most nefarious cultivator I have ever met, and people call Not only Tang Yixiu felt horrified about that, but even Ling Yun felt horrified after hearing Xie Zhu’s actions, and he asked her. ‘If he’s him the Evil Emperor. If his enemies are men, he will kill them outright. If his enemies are women, he and his men will violate them by force in front of their families first, and they will hang them all in public places until they die.”
Not only Tang Yixiu felt horrified about that, but even Ling Yun felt horrified after hearing Xie Zhu’s actions, and he asked her. ‘If he’s that cruel, why don’t the other cultivators hunt him down and exterminate him?’
“You’re wrong about that.” Ling Xi answered by shaking her head. “Many cultivators had tried to hunt down Xie Zhu, but they had difficulty finding him, especially since he had an immortal artifact that could help him to disguise his aura completely by changing himself into another person. Besides, Meng Xianzhi had also tried to stop him from recurring several times, but she never managed to do it.”
‘I see.’ Ling Yun nodded in understanding, but his brain kept thinking about Xie Zhu’s cruel actions, and he certainly didn’t want his women to suffer the same fate as his victims.
“You don’t need to think too much about Xie Zhu, for he very rarely acts in the upper realms, and his area of action is always in the supreme realm, so the possibility of us meeting him is very small.” Even though Ling Xi had said that, Ling Yun couldn’t calm down after knowing that there was such a vicious person roaming around freely.
‘Master, that person is no more cruel than the Old Chaos Dragon, and he is the cruelest creature that has ever existed in this universe.’ Ling Yun turned to Bai Zhongyi, who was perched on his shoulder, after hearing that. ‘I won’t tell you anything for now, but since his soul has merged with yours now, you will definitely find out about that old dragon’s abomination sooner or later. However, I hope you will be able to control yourself when that time comes, or else you will become like him in the future.’
Hearing that, Ling Yun couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, for he felt that he had begun to be affected by the nature of the Chaos Dragon. ‘I have to think of something to prevent that from happening, and I don’t want to be as cruel as that old dragon.’
Before long, they had already arrived at the room area for guests, and Ling Yun sighed after seeing the rooms, especially since they were much more luxurious than any five-star hotel on earth.
“You guys can rest first, and someone will call you after the patriarch and the others have finished discussing.” After he said that, Tang Beng immediately left them, but he kept glancing at Ling Yun. ‘Who exactly is that man? How could he hide his cultivation from me? And how could he come here from the lower realm?’
Ling Yun ignored Tang Beng and went straight into his room, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed as his eyes looked at the names of the Tang Clan members that appeared on his map.
However, Ling Yun frowned after he discovered a name that was familiar to him, and the person lived in solitude in a place separated from other people. “Tang Chen, huh? So he is the strongest person in this realm, and his cultivation has reached the High Supreme God Realm.”
“That’s true.” Ling Xi nodded and sat on Ling Yun’s right side, and Bai Zhongyi suddenly returned to her human form before sitting on his left side. “It seems that he is no longer in charge of this clan, and he is more focused on breaking through to the Three Immortal Realms; only then can he leave this realm and ascend to the supreme realm.”
“Three supreme realms, huh? That stage is still too far out of my reach, so I don’t need to think about that stage for now, and I will start to stabilize the strangeness in my body again, so I can break through to the Middle King Realm soon.” After he said that, Ling Yun immediately closed his eyes, and he lost himself in his own affairs. 𝒷𝒹𝓸𝓿𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The two women kept guard beside Ling Yun to protect him, and Bai Zhongyi asked Ling Xi. “Aren’t you going to look for that little spirit?”
“No.” Ling Xi shook her head at her. “Even though they are very strong, they won’t dare to do anything to Lei, or they will provoke enmity with our spirit race, so you don’t need to worry about her.”
“I see.” Bai Zhongyi nodded in understanding. “So how long will we stay in this realm?”
