Chapter 556 The Ancestors Conversation
While the other participants and cultivators were resting, the ancestors gathered in another area, and they were engrossed in their conversation.
Lei Guang suddenly said. “Sigh, this year’s competition isn’t too different from last year’s. Although the participants from the past competition have made significant progress, too few new seeds have appeared in this competition.”
“Haha!” Long Weishan laughed at that. “Hey, Old Lei! You are right, but you are also wrong about that. Many new seeds have appeared in this competition, but they are still less experienced than those who have competed before.”
“Old Long is right, but only two were exceptional among them.” Huo Poyun said as he nodded. “I believe Ling Yun hasn’t even shown his true abilities yet, so I can’t gauge the depth of his strength.”
Xuanyuan Hongtian agreed with that. “That kid is absurd; he can even use Lightning and Earth elements simultaneously. Moreover, you guys may not have noticed it, but I’m sure he also has Dark Qi.”
“Huh? Are you kidding us?” Long Weishan, Huo Poyun, and Lei Guang all shouted at him.
“You guys were preoccupied with your families, so you didn’t pay close attention to Ling Yun.” Xuanyuan Hongtian replied as he shook his head. “If he didn’t have Dark Qi, how could his lightning become black lightning? Did you all forget about the rumor of the giant black dragon that appeared in the Clear Water Sect before? Moreover, I already asked Xue’er about that, but she didn’t answer my question clearly, and I think she already knows about it.”
Huo Poyun frowned upon hearing that. “If Xue’er already knows that Ling Yun has Dark Qi, why doesn’t she attack him like other heretical cultivators?”
Xuanyuan Huangitan pointed at Feng Bing’er and the others. “They are all by Ling Yun’s side. Do you think Xue’er can take on them all at once?”
“Haha!” Xiao Feng laughed at that. “Old Xuanyuan, even though we are on Ling Yun’s side, it doesn’t mean we will defend him if he makes a mistake. However, you are right that he has Dark Qi, but he has never done anything to harm this place. Instead, he has provided us with invaluable information, or else we would never have realized the evil plans of those villains.”
“That’s true.” Xuanyuan Hongtian nodded to him. “That’s why, Xue’er didn’t do anything to him, for he hasn’t done anything bad to harm us except for destroying the Shui Clan.”
Suddenly, Feng Bing’er joined in. “Even if Xue’er wanted to do something about Ling Yun, she still couldn’t do it.”
“Hmm?” Xuanyuan Hongtian, Huo Poyun, Lei Guang, and Long Weishan all turned to look at her, especially since they didn’t know much about Ling Yun.
Feng Bing’er smiled at their reactions, but she then shook her head. “I can’t tell you the truth, but I can tell you that Ling Yun’s strength is much deeper than you can imagine, and this competition is only a stepping stone for him before he faces something bigger.”
Shi Xiaoyin and the others nodded in agreement, especially since they had already spent quite a bit of time with Ling Yun, so they more or less knew about him.
“Since Little Bing’er said so, I naturally believe her.” Long Weishan said as he rubbed his beard, and he naturally had no problem with it, especially since Ling Yun was his granddaughter’s husband.
Lei Guang sighed. “Little Bing’er is indeed wise, so I also believe in her. Sigh, it seems Qiuling and Qianyu will face a pointless fight if they meet Ling Yun in the next round.”
“Ziqi is also the same as them, but I hope she doesn’t give up too soon if she encounters Ling Yun, or else her cultivation will be hampered later.” Huo Poyun said as he sighed, and he then asked Feng Bing’er. “Do you know what he did to Old Chen? Why is he still unconscious now?”
Feng Bing’er sighed lightly after hearing that, but she immediately shook her head at him. “I don’t know what Ling Yun did to Chen Xiang.”
Feng Yujie, Ling Xiaofei, and Shi Xiaoyin also shook their heads at him.
Although Long Weishan already knew that Ling Yun used his Devil Qi against Chen Xiang, he still decided to keep his mouth shut, especially since they weren’t familiar with it.
Jiang Yuan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. “We all know that Chen Xiang always thinks with his dick, and we warned him repeatedly, but he didn’t listen to our warnings, so we don’t need to care about him.”
“Haha!” Xiao Feng laughed at his best friend’s words. “Chen Xian lusted over Yi Mingzhu, and he used a disguise artifact to infiltrate my place. Luckily, she had mastered all the techniques I gave her, so I sent her back to Ling Yun’s side, and that old fogey kept looking for her for a month and a half.”
Xuanyuan Hongtian and the others could only shake their heads at that, for they had warned Chen Xiang many times, but he had never changed his behavior, and he was now suffering the consequences.
Feng Bing’er then told them. “I heard from Ruxue that Ling Yun is planning to take a preemptive strike on the Demon Realm after this competition.”
“Eh?” Xiao Feng and the others were shocked to hear that.
Long Weishan then added. “Previously, Ling Yun told me he wanted to talk about something serious, so I thought he would like to talk about that matter.”
“Yes.” Feng Bing’er nodded to him. “Ling Yun did wish to discuss the matter with us.”
Huo Poyun then asked with a frown. “Why did Ling Yun suddenly want to do that? Did something happen between him and the demons?”
“Ling Yun has already killed Mammon, one of the seven Demon Lords.”
Almost all of them stared at Ling Xiaofei in shock, for they knew that the Demon Lords were powerful, but Ling Yun had killed one of them.
“Have you seen the red-haired woman in Ling Yun’s group?” They nodded to Shi Xiaoyin, and she then informed them. “That woman is Mariel, the Fire Angel, and she is one of his women.”
“What!?” Hearing that, some of them screamed in shock, and Li Guang asked her. “Is that true? That woman is an angel? But how could she be Ling Yun’s woman? As I recall, they never wanted anything to do with us humans.”
“Uncle Lei! That’s what makes Ling Yun special.” Feng Yujie said as she gave a soft laugh. “He was even able to melt the heart of Lian Bing, remember? Moreover, not only with Mariel, but he also has a close relationship with Michael.”
Huo Poyun took a deep breath and asked. “So, how is Ling Yun planning to attack the Demon Realm? Will he invite the angels to join us and attack those demons together?”
“I don’t know about Ling Yun’s plan yet.” Feng Bing’er replied as she shook her head. “He hasn’t told Ruxue anything, so we can only wait after the competition ends, and we’ll discuss everything with him first.” 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
Xuanyuan Hongtian agreed with that. “That’s good, but the third round will probably be fierce.”
Huo Poyun said to him. “That doesn’t matter, right? I hope they will fight more earnestly in the next round, so we can gauge their readiness to face our enemies.”
“That’s true.”

At dawn, Mu Lingxue, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally opened her eyes, but she looked around her room in confusion. However, she immediately smiled, seeing almost all of her sect sisters sleeping in the room, and she called out to Lian Bing, who smiled at her . “Sect Master.”
“How do you feel? Do you feel anything uncomfortable in your body?” Lian Bing asked her.
“No.” Mu Lingxue replied with a shake of the head. “Sect Master, I-”
“You don’t have to say anything.” Lian Bing directly interrupted Mu Lingxue. “Ling Yun and Sister Mingxia have already treated you, so the backlash won’t leave any sequelae in your body, but you still need a long time to recover.”
Even though her consciousness was fading, Mu Lingxue remembered that Ling Yun had given her a pill. She breathed a sigh of relief, for she was terrified tha she would become a cripple.
Hearing their conversation, the young women opened their eyes and moved to Mu Lingxue’s side.
“How do you feel?” Yu Mei asked her.
Mu Lingxue smiled at her. “I’m fine, and I just feel weak.”
“You are too careless, Senior Sister Mu.” Sun Xinxin said it with an angry look. “You shouldn’t use the technique before fully mastering it.”
Han Xian nodded in agreement. “Fortunately, Ling Yun and his mother saved you, or your condition must be horrible now.”
Suddenly Qiao Yan blurted out. “Senior Sister Mu! Ling Yun kissed you on the lips to help you drink the medicinal liquid; he-”
“Qiao Yan!” Yu Mei and the others shouted at her.
But their reaction was not fast enough; Mu Lingxue stared at Qiao Yan dumbfounded, and her eyes blinked in disbelief.
Lian Bing sighed softly and explained it to her. “Lingxue! Ling Yun was forced to do it to you, especially since you have fallen unconscious, and you can’t possibly drink the medicinal liquid by yourself.”
Mu Lingxue didn’t say anything, her face became red, and she rubbed her lips. ‘Sigh, I can’t blame Ling Yun for kissing me, and I should be thanking him for saving me.’
