Chapter 1740: Fourth Day
After leaving Huang Lingzhu, Ling Yun took Yun Jingqiu to another place because his daughter’s mind wasn’t completely calm after being affected by the tune of the Soul Dominion Flute.
Ling Yun sat on a rock, with Yun Jingqiu leaning against his chest, snuggling like a fragile little girl. He was worried that his daughter would be completely affected by the effects of the flute, but he didn’t show it on his face so as not to make his daughter uneasy. "Are you still thinking about the sound of that flute, Qiu’er?"
"Yes," Yun Jingqiu hugged Ling Yun’s waist. "Father, I feel uncomfortable, and I’m afraid that I will change. What if I turn into an evil woman? What—"
"Shh." Ling Yun was saddened to hear his daughter’s tone. "Don’t think too much about it, okay? That flute is an ancient artifact, and its effects are significantly influencing you, but I will never allow you to become an evil woman. I will find the flute as soon as possible, and I will kill the heretic who used it to influence you."
"Hehe," Yun Jingqiu laughed softly. "You’re the best father! I know you’ll always protect me!"
Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Your mother and I will be sad if anything happens to you, so I will do my best to protect you."
’Sigh.’ Yun Jingqiu inwardly sighed. "Father."
"Hmm?"
"If you don’t manage to find the flute, and I turn into an evil woman because of its influence, you must—"
"Never." Ling Yun decisively cut Yun Jingqiu’s words off. "You can’t think like that, okay? I’ll find the flute, and I’ll free you from its influence. It’s getting late now, so you should get some rest for tomorrow’s match."
Yun Jingqiu shook her head. "I want to sleep in your arms like when I was little, Father."
"Alright."
A few moments later, Ling Yun and Yun Jingqiu were in bed. He hugged his daughter in his warm embrace, causing her to fall asleep so quickly.
Ling Yun didn’t leave Yun Jingqiu alone, and he accompanied her to sleep while thinking about several things, especially the Soul Dominion Flute. Unfortunately, the five female immortals hadn’t been able to track down the flute, and Huang Lingzhu asked him to wait for tomorrow’s matches.
"Father." Listening to Yun Jingqiu’s sleeping murmurs, Ling Yun looked at his daughter’s face, finding tears dripping from the corners of her closed eyes. "Father, I love you wholeheartedly, but you won’t accept me."
Ling Yun could only sigh in his heart. He knew the depth of Yun Jingqiu’s feelings for him, but he could never accept his daughter’s feelings, and he hoped their relationship would remain the same until the end of time.

Ling Yun left Yun Jingqiu’s room after his daughter was sound asleep, and he found Meng Xianzi standing alone under a large tree. "Why aren’t you resting?"
"I was thinking about tomorrow’s match, husband." Meng Xianzi turned to Ling Yun. "The number of participants has decreased significantly after the third match yesterday, and the fourth match will begin this morning. You previously suspected that Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou would appear in the third match, but they still haven’t shown up, and the formation hasn’t activated either."
Ling Yun could only shake his head. "I don’t know why Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou still haven’t appeared, but I suspect that it has something to do with yesterday’s third match."
"Do you think they suspected something and decided to stall for time?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "The two sect masters of the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Stellar Heaven Sect should have contacted them, and they might be thinking about our aggressive actions in killing those heretics."
Meng Xianzi fell into thought. "If they are suspicious of our presence, they will probably continue to stall for a while, so they won’t show up anytime soon. Have your two slaves told you any new information about their movements?"
"No new information," Ling Yun sighed. "The two sect masters are clearly already suspicious of us, so they didn’t gather the heretics tonight. Besides, Ling Xi told me that they’re eager to meet me, but they won’t make a move until they receive instructions from Xie Zuzhou."
"Sister Xi’s ability to read people’s minds is indeed terrifying."
Ling Yun agreed with Meng Xianzi because Ling Xi’s ability to read other people’s minds had helped him a lot since he started his cultivation path; otherwise, he would have died while he was still living on earth because many cultivators in the Cultivator Realm were much stronger than him at that time. "So, what about your two seniors?"
"I asked them not to leave this domain, and we will help them defeat their enemies." Ling Yun had no objections to that, and he believed that he would be able to get rid of those cultivators easily. "If we succeed in eliminating their enemies, they will stay in our domain to help the people of your sect."
Ling Yun himself had already thought about that, and he believed that Han Huangyu and Jiang Meizhi would be valuable additions to his sect. Since Meng Xianzi had already discussed the matter with them, he only needed to wait for their enemies to come, and he would eliminate them then. "Do you want to train new assassins?"
"Hmm?" Meng Xianzi looked at Ling Yun with surprise. "Are you thinking about forming an assassin group? Are you thinking of using them to stabilize the situation in all domains?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "You are a retired talented assassin, and your two seniors will join us soon, so I am considering forming an assassin group. However, we will investigate everything before accepting the tasks, and we will only accept tasks related to evil cultivators."
"If you want to do it that way, we’ll have to deploy a large number of people across all domains. If we don’t do that, we won’t be able to investigate the tasks or accept them."
Ling Yun agreed with Meng Xianzi. "Currently, I have installed several teleportation devices in several domains, so we will focus on all of them for now, and we will develop our assassin group again in the future."
"Who are the people you will send to all those domains?"
"Those female beasts." After all, there were thousands of female beasts in the Chaos Dragon Domain, and they were idle every day, so Ling Yun wanted to utilize them for more useful things. "There are too many of them, and I will send two of them to each domain."
Meng Xianzi nodded in agreement. "I think we can do that, but we have to train new assassins, husband."
"No need, right?" Meng Xianzi was confused. "We don’t need to train new assassins for that, and we will use our own personnel to carry out those tasks."
"So, what you mean is that our assassin group is just a cover, right?"
"Yes! We will form an assassin group without any true assassins in it, and you can ask your two seniors to lead that group."
Meng Xianzi fell into thought for a while. "I think it can be done, husband. However, the assassination path is really not simple, and people will prefer to hire senior assassins rather than beginners, so we have to build the name of our assassin group from scratch."
"I know that." Ling Yun pushed Meng Xianzi against the tree. "We don’t need to rush into this matter, and you can discuss it with your two seniors first. If they agree, I will select a few people from among those female beasts, and I will send them to the domains connected to our domain."
"Alright." Meng Xianzi rolled her eyes as Ling Yun covered their area with his void element. "Are you that horny?"
"Hahaha," Ling Yun lowered his head, captured Meng Xianzi’s lips, and gave her a slow but passionate kiss. Within minutes, both of them were naked, and they immediately began their dual cultivation.

Like the previous three days, Ling Yun, Sheng Ming, and several other women were already sitting among the audience who wanted to watch those matches.
Ling Yun was holding Sheng Ai, who couldn’t wait to see her other mothers and siblings compete.
"Can you feel it, husband?" Sheng Ming whispered while looking far away, precisely at the location of the two sect masters of the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Stellar Heaven Sect. "In the previous days, their devil aura was difficult to detect, but I can detect it easily now."
Ling Yun nodded to Sheng Ming while looking at the cultivators who were already preparing in the arenas. "Not only the two sect masters, but I can also feel the devil and demon auras from those participants. It’s just that Huang Lingzhu and the others haven’t felt the aura of Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou in this domain, so we don’t know when the two heretics will appear."
"Yes,"
Huang Zhimei tugged Ling Yun’s sleeve and said quietly. "Husband, it looks like today’s matches will be bloody matches. Aren’t you going to ask your children to withdraw from this competition?"
"No need." Ling Yun had already formulated several plans to ensure the safety of all his wives and children. "Zhou Yu will protect them from within the void, and she will make a move if the heretics intend to kill them, so you don’t need to worry about their safety. I just can’t wait for Xie Zuzhou to show up, and I’ll fight him for the third time."
"Haha," Huang Zhimei softly laughed. "You seem to hold a grudge against Xie Zuzhou, husband. Is it because of Sister Tousen?"
"Partially," Ling Yun observed the cultivators in those arenas, especially those who would be the opponents of all his wives and children in the next matches. "Heh! The two sect masters have already arranged for their subordinates to fight them."
