Chapter 424 Ling Yun’s Decission
Since the Su and the Zhang Clan location was pretty close. After she had had enough fun with Su Yun, the fox-masked woman immediately brought Julie to the Zhang Clan.
After they landed near the Zhang Clan, the fox-masked woman didn’t say anything, and her eyes continued to observe the clan. Before long, she saw a maid coming out; she immediately moved and killed her.
After that, the fox-masked woman brought the maid’s corpse to Julie’s side and took out several vials. She then took the maid’s blood, mixed it into the vials, and gave them to her disciple.
“You can drink one first, and it will change your appearance. But you must remember the effect only lasts one day, so before the effect wears off, you have to drink one more.” The fox-masked woman warned Julie sternly.
“Yes, Master.” Julie received them and immediately drank one.
Soon, Julie’s appearance changed, her blonde hair turned black, and her face became that of the maid killed by the fox-masked woman. She then took a mirror and was surprised to see her reflection. “Wow! How did you make such a potion, Master?”
“I didn’t make those potions but got them from those blessed people.” The fox-masked woman answered her disciple with a shake of the head. “Anyway, take off and put on her outfit, and you can infiltrate the Zhang Clan as her.”
“Blessed people?” Julie asked as she undressed herself and the maid.
The fox-masked chuckled. “Apart from cultivators, there are still many living beings in this place, such as Angels, Demons, Demihumans, and people often called as blessed people.”
Julie nodded repeatedly and asked again. “What’s the difference between those blessed people and cultivators?”
The fox-masked woman rubbed Julie’s cheek and explained to her. “Basically, they are no different from us cultivators, but they use Mana as their source of strength, and their abilities are slightly more unique than ours.”
“I see.” After she finished changing into maid clothes, Juli said to her. “In that case, I will go to the Zhang Clan right now, Master.”
The fox-masked woman kissed Julie’s lips briefly. “Be careful, lest them suspect you, and my spy will help you. And remember, your targets are Zhang Fan, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Long.”
“Yes.” Julie walked directly into the Zhang Clan, but her heart was beating fast, for she was worried that she would misbehave and attract their suspicions.
The fox-masked woman kept staring at Julie and smiled faintly. “That Su Yuan is such an idiot. Does she think I will hand over the Zhang Clan to her? Her son may have Xingcai back, but their clan will also fall into my hands.”
The fox-masked woman then listened to Lu Wan’er’s voice transmission, and her expression became surprised. “Feng Ling’er has returned to the Feng Clan? But how did she manage to get out of the Illusion Forest? Sigh, I have to capture Ling Yun by myself, for Wan’er is no match for that woman.”
After that, the fox-masked woman flew away from that place, but she sent a voice transmission to her spy at the Zhang Clan first.

As Julie walked carefully, an old woman tapped her on the shoulder from behind, startling her.
Just as she was about to scream, the old woman immediately covered Julie’s mouth and put her index finger in her own mouth. “Shh! Don’t scream!”
Julie nodded repeatedly, and the old woman removed her hand from her mouth. “Master ordered me to help you, but you came too late, for they have already finished breakfast, so we have to wait for dinner time to do it.”
“Yes,” Julie answered with a nod.
The old woman then turned away. “Follow me; I’ll explain everything to you; only then, you won’t make a mistake.”
Julie breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old woman. ‘Fortunately, my Master sent her to help me, or else I would have made a mistake.’
Once they got inside the room, the old woman immediately explained things to Julie and showed her the rooms of every major male in the clan. “However, you have to be careful with Lan Meng; she is a very suspicious person. If you are not careful, then she will see through your disguise.”
“En, I understand,” Julie answered with a vigorous nod.
The old woman nodded with satisfaction. “For now, you act like a maid and do your job, and I will watch over you from afar.”
“Okay.” Julie then left the room, took a broom, and went to the main room area. While she was cleaning the area, her eyes continued to observe the people passing by in the area. ‘For my Master’s sake, I will do anything.’

Meanwhile, Ling Yun was conversing with Feng Qiong and Feng Yao, and the two women explained to him every item running low in the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce.
After they finished explaining to him, Ling Yun immediately bought various items in the system shop. However, not only did he buy things that were running low, but he also decided to stock up on other items and store them in a storage ring, especially since he would be in seclusion for an undetermined amount of time. That way, they wouldn’t bother him with business matters, and he could concentrate on his cultivation.
[You have successfully purchased a few items! 4,000,000,000 C has been deducted from your account.]
Feng Qiong and Feng Yao were shocked to see the items in the storage ring that Ling Yun gave them, and he immediately explained his plan to them.
“I see.” Feng Qiong nodded in understanding. “If my estimation is correct, all of these items should last at least five to six months.”
“En, I think so too.” Ling Yun replied with a nod of approval.
Feng Qiong then asked him. “Hey, Ling Yun, do you want to join the inter-sect competition?”
“Oh?” Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, and his expression showed interest. “When will the inter-sect competition start? And how can I join the competition?”
Feng Qiong thought for a moment before answering Ling Yun. “The competition will start in two months and be held at Cultivator Peak. Since you are a disciple of the Lotus Sect, you can represent them. If you don’t want to represent them, you can represent our Phoenix Sect. You can also come directly to that place and join using the wild cards available in each competition.”
Ling Yun then opened his map and searched for the location, and it was not far from the Central Forest. ‘Hey, Ling Xi! How about we go to that forest? Moreover, that forest is huge, its location is right in the middle of this Cultivator Realm, and the strength of the beasts inside is more varied.’
“Oh? You chose that forest because you wanted to join the competition, right?” Ling Xi asked him back.
Ling Yun nodded to her. ‘Since I became a cultivator, I hardly ever fight with other cultivators, and I mostly fight beasts. So I thought I could improve my combat skills even more if I joined the competition.’ .𝘯𝘵
“Well, that’s true.” Ling Xi replied with a nod of approval. “Sooner or later, you will definitely go to higher realms, so you should start learning to fight with other cultivators, and the competition is perfect for you.”
‘All right then.’ Ling Yun then said to Feng Qiong. “In that case, I will join the competition, but I haven’t decided whether to use the wild card or represent the sects.”
“That’s okay; you still have two months to think about it first.” Feng Qiong then asked him again. “So where are you going to do the seclusion?”
“Hehe, I’m going to the Central Forest.” Ling Yun replied with a low laugh.
Feng Qiong and Feng Yao raised their eyebrows upon hearing that. Although the central forest was not as troublesome as the Illusion Forest, they knew it was the most dangerous place in the Cultivator Realm, for many beasts with high cultivation resided in that forest.
However, Feng Qiong remembered that Ling Xi was beside Ling Yun, so her worries were groundless. “In that case, I will come with you, for I also want to prepare myself for the inter-sect competition.”
“En, I haven’t trained in a while either, so I’ll be coming with you guys too.” Feng Yao joined in a low voice. After she was nearly captured by the Shui Clan assassins before, which made her realize her weaknesses, so she decided on that. However, she blushed when Ling Yun glanced at her, and she quickly covered her face with hands.
They laughed at Feng Yao’s bashful look; Ling Yun then pulled her hands away. “Why are you covering your face? You’re pretty, but you’re just shy.”
Feng Yao was speechless, her face reddened, and smoke seemed out from her head.
Feng Qiong glanced at them with a smile. ‘It seems that Ling Yun and Yao’er are attracted to each other, but he was perfect for her.’
Suddenly, Feng Qiong was startled by Ling Xi’s question in her mind. ‘How about you? Are you not interested in Ling Yun?’
Feng Qiong looked up at Ling Xi and shook her head. ‘Ling Yun is indeed amazing and attractive, but I don’t have any feelings for him yet.’
‘Haha.’ Ling Xi laughed at her answer. ‘However, if you stay by Ling Yun’s side, I believe you will definitely be attracted to him sooner or later.’
