“What happened to you, Big Sis Xi? Why have you been restless since yesterday?” Ling Xi’s attitude perplexed not only Ye Jing but also the other four women because they had never seen her act in that way before.

Ling Xi turned to them and let out a heavy sigh. “The spirit emperor has come out of his seclusion, and he will find out about Invidia’s death soon.”

“Eh?” They gasped in shock after hearing that, and they didn’t expect that the day they had been worrying about for a long time had finally arrived, but they weren’t ready to face them.

“Are we going to hide in subspace?” Yi Shu asked Ling Xi. “No one else can break through to subspace, so that’s the best choice for us now, right?”

“I agree with her.” Ying Zhi said as she nodded. “However, it would be better if we contacted our husband first, and we would follow his plans.” .

They nodded in agreement with her, but Ling Xi shook her head. “I can’t contact Ling Yun, including through the harem connection, so we can’t discuss this matter with him now.”

“Eh?” They immediately tried to contact Ling Yun, but the result was like what Ling Xi told them just now.

“So-”

“Hehehe.”

They were startled to hear the laughter before turning to Zhou Yu, who had just walked out of the void door, but they frowned when they saw Long Xiang.

“Is she our new sister, Big Sis Yu?”

However, Long Xiang shouted at Li Na. “Hey, kid! I’m not your husband’s woman! Even though he’s a powerful dragon, I’m not interested in a perverted dragon like him.”

“Aren’t you weird?” Ying Zhi asked her with a raised eyebrow. “Which dragons aren’t perverts? Moreover, our husband is the king of the kings of dragons, so it is natural if he is perverted.”

“Humph!” Long Xiang snorted at her.

“Why did you suddenly come here?”

“Didn’t you already know that the spirit emperor had completed his seclusion?” Ling Xi just nodded to her, and Zhou Yu then told her. “Anyway, our husband is in the process of breaking the sixth seal on his bloodline, so I came here to pick you all, or our sisters would be in trouble.”

“Open the door now, Big Sis Yu! We have to go to Yun’er right now!”

“Be patient.” Zhou Yu shook her head as she opened a void door. “We’re going to the Hidden Valley Sect to pick up Helena and the others, and we still have to pick up Lian Bing and the others too.”

They immediately entered the void door, and they appeared in the hidden valley sect, but they didn’t stay too long in the sect as Ling Xi had already contacted the four beast women to prepare after she listened to Zhou Yu’s explanation.

Likewise with Lian Bing and the others, they had been ready when they arrived at Yunlong Zuzhai, so Zhou Yu immediately took them all to the Ancient Garde.

Fortunately, Long Xiang was with them, so they were able to arrive at the Ancient Garden quickly. However, their arrival surprised Zhiyu Yushen, Yue Tu, Nangong Nichang, and Qiao Lingzhi.

Even so, Ling Yun’s women didn’t have the time to chat with the four women, especially since their husband’s aura had become stronger, and they realized that the seal was about to open, so they hurriedly approached him.

Wasting no time, Zhou Yu enveloped them with void walls, so Zhiyu Yushen couldn’t see or hear their activities.

“Are they Mo Chen’s wife, Big Sis Yueling?” Nangong Nichang curiously asked.

“They are indeed his wives, and I have met them before.” Tian Yueling replied with a nod.

Qiao Lingzhi then asked her. “How can they all be so beautiful? I’m really jealous of their beauty and sexiness.”

“You can attain their level of beauty and sexiness by regularly ingesting Mo Chen’s Yang Qi.” Yue Tu blurted out, causing the faces of the two young girls to turn red at the thought of such a thing. “Haha! You have nothing to be embarrassed about, and I assure you that his yang qi is truly exceptional.”

The two women did not respond to Yue Tu, and Tian Yueling said to her. “All right, you don’t need to tease them.”

After he spoke with his subordinates, the spirit emperor went straight to a room, but it was very special, with a large glass roof at the top. Besides, there were hundreds or thousands of crystals floating on the ceiling, and he then floated up while looking at them one by one.

“What are you looking for, Zhu Ling?” A spirit elder asked as he floated beside him, but he was surprised to see his expression so serious. “Did something happen?”

“Jing Shen, I felt that something bad had happened about half a year ago, but I was still in the process of my breakthrough, so I ignored it.” Zhu Ling replied as he continued to look for anything unusual in those crystals, and he frowned as soon as he saw a black crystal, so he pulled it closer.

Seeing that, Jing Shen’s eyes widened in shock as he muttered. “How is this possible? Who dares to kill a member of our race? And whose crystal is that?”

“Lets see.” Zhu Ling pressed his forefinger onto the black crystal, and many images appeared before them, which were images of the death of a spirit.

“Invidia!” Jing Shen shouted loudly after seeing that, but he was even more shocked after he saw the events that happened in those images. “This-”

“Yes.” Zhu Ling directly explained it to him. “That guy was a human being, and Luxuria used Invidia’s soul as a sacrifice to turn him into an immortal like her, or else she couldn’t possibly die as long as living creatures still have envy and jealousy in them.”

“Superbia, Avartia, Luxuria, Invidia, Gula, Ira, and Acedia.” Jing Shen muttered as he nodded. “Those seven are special spirits that will never die as long as other living creatures still exist, but I didn’t expect that she would sacrifice her for the sake of a human, and her action was a great betrayal of our race.”

“En.” Zhu Ling nodded in agreement with him. “Since ancient times, Luxuria has always had a strong attachment to humans because of her nature, and she even had a romantic relationship with her first host. Unfortunately, the man had to die because he was affected by her nature, and she never again had such feelings for another man after that. Since then, she’s already changed hosts several times, and she even killed some of them because they wanted to get to her. However, I didn’t expect that she would have such strong feelings for another man now, and she’s even willing to break our taboos for his sake.”

“That’s true.” Jing Shen sighed heavily before asking him. “What are your plans for them? Are you going to send them to hunt them down?”

“Luxuria has committed a grave mistake by breaking our taboo, and I must punish her, including that man.” Zhu Ling said as his golden eyes gleamed, and he handed a token to Jing Shen. “Order Lei Zhong and a few other guardians to go to the lower realms, and tell them to bring the two of them here alive.”

“Do you think they still live there?” Jing Shen questioned him with a skeptical expression because he was certain that Luxuria couldn’t possibly be waiting for them to capture her.

“Hmm?” Zhu Ling thought for some time before shaking her head at him. “Contact the remaining five and order them to track Luxuria’s whereabouts. I’m sure that they can find her, but you warn them not to act on their own.”

Jing Shen was taken back for a moment, but he nodded to him and turned to leave, and he went to carry out Zhu Ling’s orders.

On the other hand, Zhu Ling seemed lost in his thoughts, and he let out a heavy sigh before disappearing from the room.

Meanwhile, Jing Shen was standing in front of the ten spirits and explaining to them everything that had happened, and he also conveyed Zhu Ling’s orders to them directly.

“Is that true, Elder Shen? Did Luxuria really sacrifice Invidia for a human man?” A golden-haired spirit man asked with a bad look.

“We’ve witnessed it ourselves, so you don’t need to doubt my words, Lei Zhong.” Jing Shen was silent for a moment before speaking to him again. “In fact, your little sister Lei Lin was also with Luxuria at the time of that incident.”

“What?” Lei Zhong shouted loudly after hearing that. “Is Lin’er really with Luxuria?”

“Yes.” Jing Shen then warned Lei Zhong. “I know that you also have quite a close relationship with her, but she has betrayed our race by sacrificing Invidia. Moreover, you are one of the guardians, and it is your duty to carry out our Emperor’s orders, so you should forget about your relationship with her and capture them as soon as possible. Do you understand?”

“I understand.” Lei Zhong then asked him. “Is Lin’er involved in Luxuria’s actions?”

“Lei Lin didn’t do anything to Invidia, but she also couldn’t possibly stop Luxuria, and the Emperor didn’t say anything about her, so you didn’t need to worry about her.” Lei Zhong let out a sigh of relief after hearing that, and Jing Shen ordered them. “You guys can go now and capture them as quickly as possible.”

“Yes!”
