Chapter 1745: Long Hun - Huang Lingzhu
"Tell me, Long Hun, why should I care about those people?"
"They—"
"I know that not everyone is as fearless of death as I am, but they should have long realized their situation if they were controlled by that old devil." Huang Lingzhu hurriedly interrupted Long Hun. "They are powerful and experienced cultivators, and they have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet they easily fall for Xie Zuzhou’s trickery."
"But—"
"Yet, they didn’t do anything and let themselves be controlled by him, and they deliberately harmed those young cultivators by arranging all the match schedules according to their master’s orders." Huang Lingzhu paused and stared at Long Hun. "If they still have any goodness and conscience in them, they should sacrifice themselves for the safety of others. However, they are cowards afraid of death, and they choose to sacrifice those young cultivators for their own safety. So, please tell me, why should I be merciful to them?"
Long Hun wanted to say something to Huang Lingzhu, but his words got stuck in his throat.
"Look at Yun Jingqiu; she was affected by the effects of the Soul Dominion Flute, and something inside her has changed because of it." Long Hun frowned as he thought that possibility. "Nu Huang was also affected by the flute’s effects, but he was lucky because he was an elf. However, his sister was different from him, and she was a dark phoenix, and the flute’s effects had a significant impact on her. Have you forgotten what happened to Feng Huangxie? Have you forgotten the reason you killed her and the dark phoenix race? If not for Ling Yun’s action of using the demon creation manual on Hua Ning, the dark phoenix race would have been extinct from this universe a long time ago."
Naturally, Long Hun had not forgotten about all the events that happened at that time, including when he killed Feng Huangxie and slaughtered those dark phoenixes.
Huang Lingzhu sighed. "Yun Jingqiu is still weak now, but she is bound to become a powerful dark phoenix in the future, and I believe that the dark phoenix race will rise again under her leadership. However, she has already been exposed to the effects of the flute, and it will continue to influence her. Fortunately, she is Ling Yun’s daughter, so I can’t kill her."
"Are you afraid that Ling Yun will ignore everything and let this universe be destroyed by darkness?"
"Yes," Huang Lingzhu nodded seriously. "Ling Yun loves all his wives and children very much, and he feels guilty towards Yun Jingqiu because he cannot reciprocate her feelings. If that little girl dies, I believe that he will abandon this universe. If that happens, your death will be in vain, and I must prevent that from happening."
Long Hun sucked in a deep breath of air. "Do you think Yun Jingqiu will become like the past Feng Huangxie? Why don’t they target Hua Ning too?"
"Hua Ning is a dark phoenix, but she’s already too mature. On the other hand, Yun Jingqiu is still too young, and her mind is unstable after Ling Yun rejected her feelings, so the effect of the flute greatly affected her." Huang Lingzhu paused again. "I don’t know how much time is left, but I’m sure that little girl will become like the past Feng Huangxie in the future, and Ling Yun will have no choice but to kill her then."
Long Hun nodded in understanding. "Should I tell Ling Yun about this matter?"
"Even if you tell Ling Yun about this matter, he can’t do anything to reverse the situation. Yun Jingqiu has already been affected by the flute’s effects, and it’s only a matter of time before she transforms into the past Feng Huangxie." Long Hun could hear a hint of regret in Huang Lingzhu’s voice. "Besides this problem, there is still another time bomb on his side, and it may explode in the future."
"Long Yuyi and the devil seed in her body."
"That’s right." Huang Lingzhu let out a heavy sigh. "Ling Yun has already bound Long Yuyi’s soul to his, but that won’t be able to stop the devil seed, and it will completely control her in the future. In the past, Jian Xieshen obtained his devil seed, and he turned extremely evil, so I killed him and destroyed his soul. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that Yuan Shijia managed to survive the destruction of the Primordial Realm, and she collected the fragments of his soul to resurrect him."
"Can the devil seed in Long Yuyi’s body be expelled?"
"We can’t do that unless we kill her, and you know the risks if she dies."
Long Hun nodded. "Ling Yun will definitely change if one of his wives or children dies. Isn’t there another way to overcome Long Yuyi’s devil seed?"
"Nothing." Huang Lingzhu replied with a shake of her head. "Ling Yun had already been aware of Long Yuyi’s situation ever since Sheng Ming told him about the devil seed. He thought his devil soul would be able to suppress the heart, so he bound their souls. Unfortunately, his efforts would end in vain, and the devil heart would take over her in the future. At that time, she would likely become even more terrifying than the past Jian Xieshen, and all the inhabitants of this universe would face a horror they had never faced before."
"The only person who can stop those two things is my father."
"Yes," Huang Lingzhu agreed with Long Hun. "The question is, is he willing to help Yun Jingqiu and Long Yuyi out of their predicament? Judging from his character and decision-making, I don’t think he’ll be willing to do that, and he’ll let Ling Yun try to save them himself. If Ling Yun manages to defeat him and take over his position, he can certainly save them, but I’m not confident the two women will survive until then."
Long Hun sighed heavily and looked up at the sky, thinking of a way to persuade Chaos to save Yun Jingqiu and Long Yuyi. However, he didn’t have the confidence to convince his father. "Since we can’t do anything, we can only wait for the results in the future, and I hope Ling Yun won’t change if something happens to them."
"Regarding those people, I won’t change my decision, but I won’t do anything to them." Long Hun narrowed his eyes at Huang Lingzhu. "Since they have fallen into Xie Zuzhou’s control, I will hand them over to Ling Yun, and he will decide their fate."
After saying all that, Huang Lingzhu immediately disappeared from the place, and Long Hun also disappeared a few minutes later.

"Here." Sheng Ming handed the Soul Dominion Flute to Lei Qiuling. "Our husband wants you to have this flute, and Huang Lingzhu has already erased the mark of its previous owner, so you can mark it directly."
"Thank you, Sister Ming." Lei Qiuling bit her finger and dripped her blood onto the flute. "Do you think I can use this flute?"
Dongfang Qinzhi suddenly appeared beside them. "Qiuling, this Soul Dominion Flute is actually no different from other flutes, and you’re already used to playing your flute, so I’m sure you won’t have any difficulty using it. Since the day is still long, you can enter the dream space to learn to use this flute, and I will accompany you for that."
"Alright." Lei Qiuling and Dongfang Qinzhi immediately entered the dream space.
Meanwhile, Sheng Ming went to see his daughter, Sheng Ai, who was playing with her other mothers. She could see that everyone was in a good mood, except Hua Ning. "Are you worried about your daughter?"
"Yes," Hua Ning answered quietly. "Our husband said that Qiu’er was scared from what happened earlier, so he accompanied her inside the Yin-Yang Chamber."
Sheng Ming nodded slightly. "The effects of the Soul Dominion Flute are indeed terrifying, and it has affected Qiu’er. However, I believe everything will be fine, so you don’t need to worry too much about her."
"Unfortunately, I can’t do that, Sister Ming." Hua Ning’s face turned gloomy. "Qiu’er is my daughter, and I’m familiar with her character. I’m afraid today’s incident will leave her deeply traumatized, and I’m also worried that she will never be able to overcome her fear."
Sheng Ming put his arm around Hua Ning’s shoulders. "I understand how you feel, but there’s nothing we can do. We should leave this matter to our husband. I believe he can do something for Qiu’er."
"I hope you’re right, Sister Ming."

Time passed, and night finally fell. Almost all of Ling Yun’s children, except Nu Huang and Yun Jingqiu, had won their matches. However, they couldn’t rest easy, as they believed the fifth round would be even more difficult and tense.
Meanwhile, Baili Qianhe and Dugu Yunze were inside the dungeon. Their expressions were grim after discovering the Soul Dominion user dead, and they couldn’t find the flute anywhere.
"What—"
"It’s useless." Baili Qianhe and Dugu Yunze turned to the man who had just appeared. They immediately knelt before him. "Our leaders already know about Ling Yun, and they are preparing to take action against him. They will arrive in this domain in two days, and we will activate the formation once they arrive."
"What do our leaders plan to do with Ling Yun?" Baili Qianhe asked.
The man narrowed his eyes. "You don’t need to ask anything, and you just need to follow our leaders’ orders. When they arrive in this domain, Ling Yun will die in their hands, and we will capture all his family members."
"Yes," Baili Qianhe and Dugu Yunze answered excitedly. All day long, Ling Yun had been constantly pressuring and threatening them, so they hoped their leaders would kill him. "Do we have to send those people to all the matches in the fifth round?"
"Send then and let them kill more participants."
