Three women were sitting together while engaged in serious conversation, but their expressions changed slightly after they listened to the information they had just received. “What a coincidence! Senior Ling Tian hasn’t come to this realm for a long time, and he suddenly came here when we were facing a critical situation.”

“I agree with you, Yangyu.” Zhuang Yuan spoke while nodding. He has broken through to his current level for so long, so he should be stronger than Tian Huang, and we are truly lucky that he is willing to help us deal with them.”

“What is your decision regarding that matter?” Meng Xianzi’s question made Ao Yangyu fold her forehead. “I know how you feel about those two men, but you should think further ahead. Moreover, you already know Ling Yun’s strength, so you should be aware that all of you will lose if you become his enemy, and I’m sure that Zhou Yu will stand by his side. Besides, Ling Xi is much stronger than us, and she even dared to take the risk of sacrificing one of her kin for his sake.”

“Not only them; Ling Yun also still has so many powerful allies, remember?” Zhuang Yuan chimed in to persuade Ao Yangyu, especially since she didn’t want him and the Sunset Valley to disappear if they became enemies with Ling Yun. “The Tian Clan is clearly on his side because of Tian Yueling, and one of his wives is a member of the Tang Clan, so Tang Chen and his clan will also stand on his side, including the Bu Clan.”

Ao Yangyu let out a heavy sigh, fully aware of Ling Yun’s strength and the utter futility of their attempts to battle him. Even though he was still weak, he could borrow the strength of those around him to fight against them. “Sigh. I won’t make any decisions regarding this matter now, and I’ll wait for Big Sis to get here first. I’ll make a decision after I talk to her, and I hope they can understand it.”

“So how are you preparing to face those heretics?”

“They are fully prepared for war, so we only need to wait for the heretics to arrive in our realm, and we will slaughter them.” Ao Yangyu then contacted a few people and gave them tasks before speaking to the two women again. “I just asked Zhi Qiu and Zhi Xian to monitor the eastern part, especially since those demons will enter our realm from that area, and their detection ability is the best among us, so I’m sure that they won’t miss detecting them.”

“That’s good.” Zhuang Yuan responded with a satisfied nod. “I have also sent some of my members who have high detection abilities, but you should tell them not to attack those demons, or we will lose more people before the war even starts.”

Ao Yangyu nodded in agreement and asked Meng Xianzi. “What about the northern region? Are you confident that the defensive formation you installed will be effective in stopping the heretics? I’m afraid that the person who made the third prophecy come true is not Zhu Ling but those demons, which will bring new problems for us.”

“Aren’t you wrong about that?” Meng Xianzi asked with a shake of her head. “The second prophecy was about the death of a mythical beast, and all of them went to that mysterious realm with Ling Yun. Moreover, there are still other things besides the formation I installed, so they will be safe there. In fact, once the war starts, that region will become a safe haven, and no enemy will be able to attack it. Unfortunately, we can’t allow other people to take shelter in that place, especially since it has become their private place now, and that kid always keeps his family members safe from outsiders.”

Zhuang Yuan nodded in agreement with Meng Xianzi, especially because she had spent quite a lot of time with Ling Yun since they went together to the lower realm some time ago, so she knew more or less her character. “That kid doesn’t really care about the fate of outsiders, and he only cares about the people within his inner circle, so we can’t force him to give them protection.”

“A hero often doesn’t live long, and his family members are simply too many, so it’s natural for him to be selfish by prioritizing their safety without caring about outsiders.” Ao Yangyu then asked them. “So what are you two going to do now?”

“I have to go back to Misty Manor.”

After Zhuang Yuan disappeared, Ao Yangyu turned to Meng Xianzi. “I will stay to wait for Zhou Yu, and you don’t need to care about me, especially since this is not the first time I have stayed here.”

Ao Yangyu nodded to her. “All right, consider this valley as your home, and I will go take care of some things.”

After she left, Meng Xianzi smiled faintly before moving really fast, but none of them noticed her movements, including Ao Yangyu, and her ability indeed lived up to her name as the best assassin. ‘This way, I can prevent a big commotion between them by locking up those who insist on killing Lillia.’

After that, Meng Xianzi searched for an empty place before entering her dream realm, or more precisely, Ling Yun’s dream space.

“Hmm? Why did you come here, Master?” One of Ling Yun’s five clones questioned her as soon as Meng Xianzi appeared before them.

Meng Xianzi informed him directly about the situation in the Sunset Valley, allowing him to understand it more clearly. Additionally, she wanted to know his decision regarding the people within that organization.

Ling Yun’s clone let out a heavy sigh after listening to everything, but he felt at a loss to make a decision. “Honestly, I can’t make up my mind about them for now, so I want you to bring Zhou Yu here, and I will discuss with her first before deciding.”

“Oh?” His request surprised Meng Xianzi. “Didn’t you use your abilities on them?”

“No.” Ling Yun’s clone responded by shaking his head. “I never use my dream creation technique on my women, especially since I can talk to them whenever I want. However, Zhou Yu is not my official wife yet, so I can’t use it with her.”

Meng Xianzi immediately agreed to his request. “All right, I will bring her here once she arrives.”

Ling Yun’s clone’s expression suddenly changed. “I don’t want to be enemies with them, and I can understand their feelings of loss. However, Helena is my wife, and Lillia is her eldest sister, so her feelings are much more important to me, and I don’t want to see her sad. If Ao Yangyu and the others insist on killing her, then I will regard them as my enemies, and I will attack them after I return from the mysterious tower.”

“As expected.” Meng Xianzi said it with a shake of her head. “I can guess your thoughts, so I used my dream technique on them, including Ao Yangyu, and I will lock them up if they insist on attacking Lillia.”

“That’s good, so we don’t need to be enemies with each other.” Ling Yun’s clone then asked her. “Did you come here just to convey this matter, Master?”

“No.” Meng Xianzi then told him about her other goals, leaving Ling Yun’s clone a little surprised. “Honestly, I never thought about using the clone technique, especially since I was always confident in my abilities. However, the situation has changed a lot now, and I have to admit that I am jealous of my own disciple, so I hope you are willing to share your clone technique with me.”

“Hahaha.” Ling Yun laughed while listening to Meng Xianzi’s last sentence, and he touched her forehead before giving her the technique. “Master, I am a person who always repays kindness with kindness, and my abilities can grow leaps and bounds, thanks to the dream technique and the dream space you gifted me in the past. Naturally, I won’t mind sharing my techniques with you; you just have to tell me which technique you want to learn, especially since I don’t know which technique suits you best.”

“Such a cute disciple you are!” Meng Xianzi chuckled as she pinched Ling Yun’s clone’s cheek, and she immediately sat cross-legged in front of him to learn the clone’s technique first.

Meng Xianzi already had too much experience as a cultivator, and the clone technique was not a difficult one to learn; even Ling Yun’s woman, who was not as experienced as her, could learn it quickly. In a short time, she had managed to summon one clone, but she didn’t stop there and summoned several more clones than Ling Yun. After all, her cultivation was already at the middle Supreme God Realm, and her qi was much more abundant compared to his.

Ling Yun’s clone’s lips twitched after Meng Xianzi summoned ten clones, but he didn’t feel jealous of her because he was fully aware of the difference in their strength, and he will be able to do the same in the future.

“Hehehe.” Meng Xianzi laughed as soon as she opened her eyes. “This way, I can train faster than you, and my cultivation will probably be able to break through to the final stage faster.”
