Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"Ancestor, what is this Dream Soul Incense?"

He didn't care at all whether the Ling family members knew of his existence.

After all, he wasn't even hanging around in front of them.

But why does this Dream Soul Incense sound so familiar?

But I just can't remember.

"Dream Soul Incense is a fragrance extracted from a plant called Dream Soul Grass. It was originally used on people with insomnia to help them fall asleep easily."

"But if the amount is not controlled properly, this thing that helps people can become a thing that harms them, and cause people to die without them even realizing it."

"what!"

When people heard that this thing could help people with insomnia, they were relieved.

The next second they heard that this thing could also harm people, and they lost their composure again.

"Inhaling an excessive amount of the refined Dream Soul Incense will cause them to fall into a deep sleep, frequently having beautiful dreams. No matter how people outside call them, they cannot be awakened. Over time, the spiritual power in their bodies will be gradually devoured by the dreams until the spiritual power is exhausted, unable to maintain the vitality of their bodies, and they will eventually die in their dreams."

"Dream Soul Incense? I've never heard of such a thing."

"Of course you haven't heard of this. This isn't something that just anyone can take out."

The third elder of the Ling family rushed over and overheard Ling Yun's words, and then spoke up.

"Third Elder, what's wrong? Who offended you? You look so pale."

“Master, I have found out about their situation. Just as Miss Seven said, they have indeed been poisoned by the Dream Soul Incense.”

Although he didn't know how Ling Yun found out, that wasn't the most important thing.

Rather, this thing doesn't belong to the Azure Dragon Kingdom at all.

No, to be precise, it doesn't belong to the four kingdoms, but to the demon race...

"Could the people of the Beacon Fire Sect be connected with the demons?!"

Ling Lie was agitated upon hearing the word "demon race." His face darkened, and his expression turned grim.

Thousands of years ago, the Xuan Tian Continent paid a heavy price to drive out the demons. After that, something happened and the connection between the demons and the Xuan Tian Continent seemed to be blocked.

Now that things have been peaceful for thousands of years, could it be that the demons have reappeared?

Or did they repair the passage?

If that's the case, it's not a good thing.

Apart from Ling Lie and his group, the younger generation was not very clear about the actions of the demons.

All they knew was that the demons were mortal enemies of their people.

"It seems there's definitely something wrong with the Beacon Fire Sect."

"Third Elder, have you found a way to cure him?"

The Third Elder sighed and shook his head.

"Master, the book does not contain any instructions on how to treat this condition."

"Are we just going to watch them die like this?"

This is a disciple of the younger generation of the Ling family.

How could he bear it?

Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly walked up to Ling Yun and knelt down.

"Ancestor, I beg you to help them. I know you must have a way to save them, right?"

Ling Yongchang's actions truly terrified everyone except Ling Lie.

Did the head of the family kneel before the wrong person?

Why are you calling Seventh Miss Ancestor now?

Each of them cautiously looked at their ancestor beside them.

But they discovered that their ancestor showed no sign of anger.

What's the situation?

"Father, what are you doing? This is Xiao Qi."

Ling Xiao rushed over, intending to help his father up.

But Ling Yongchang simply shook him off.

“Ancestor, these are all members of our Ling family. Since you saw the problem at a glance, you must have a way to solve it.”

"I didn't say I wouldn't save them."

As he spoke, a burst of spiritual energy helped Ling Yongchang up.

"Next time you want to kneel, ask me first."

Ling Yun was speechless; the speed at which the man knelt down was so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention next time and ask before kneeling."

With more than a dozen people saved, Ling Yongchang regained his spirits.

Hearing his words, Ling Yun was speechless.

So, if she can't save someone next time, are you going to kneel down to her?

"Ancestor, is there anything you need? I'll have someone prepare it for you."

"Okay, here are the things we need. Go and prepare them."

Ling Yun didn't stand on ceremony; with a wave of his hand, he wrote down what he needed.

Spiritual energy transforms into ink!

hiss!

As expected, our ancestor is terrifyingly powerful.

"Go quickly and find everything the ancestor needs. If the Ling family doesn't have it, go outside to buy it."

"Yes, master."

"Ancestor, they've gone to prepare the things, and I'm afraid they won't be able to deliver them for a while. Why don't you go and rest first?"

"It's alright, just wait here. These are all ordinary items. No one in the northern city would be foolish enough to cause them trouble at this time."

She had just dealt with the Zhou family.

Now, other forces in the northern city are afraid that the Ling family might take their anger out on them.

Of course, the families that had no dealings with the Zhou family weren't worried at all.

If Ling Yongchang were to call Lingyun Ancestor, they would think that Ling Yongchang had lost his mind in his haste to save the Ling family.

But what did they just hear?

The old ancestor actually called Lingyun "old ancestor".

My God!

However, after going to the forbidden area, the Seventh Miss has transformed into the patriarch of the Ling family?

What exactly happened in the forbidden area that they couldn't see?

Is the problem with them? Or has the world changed?

Seeing the shock and confusion in everyone's eyes.

Ling Yongchang also knew that there were some things he still had to tell them.

So he sent the other disciples away.

"Father, what exactly happened? Why do you and the Ancestor both call Little Seven Ancestor?"

As soon as everyone else had left, Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask.

The elders were obviously waiting as well.

If it weren't for the presence of their ancestor, they probably would have directly subjected the patriarch to severe torture to extract a confession.

"This……"

For a moment, he didn't know where to begin.

"Let me tell you."

This guy is so slow and indecisive.

The old ancestor was getting a little impatient.

"The ancestor is not Ling Yun, the seventh young lady of the Ling family, but our Ling family's true ancestor. As for how it happened, you don't need to know, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you. All you need to know is that our Ling family must obey the ancestor's arrangements in everything."

See, this one sentence explains it all.

He couldn't utter a single useful word in all that time.

He'd been the head of the family for over a decade for nothing.

He mentally complained about Ling Yongchang.

Fortunately, he kept it in his heart, otherwise Ling Yongchang might have been depressed.

"Grandpa, what do you mean she's not the seventh young lady of the Ling family? She is clearly the seventh one!"

"I'm telling you, little one, why do you have so many questions? I've already told you she isn't, why are you still asking?"

He has absolutely no sense of propriety; no wonder he was born of his father.

"I……"

"Stop with the 'I' and 'I', why are there so many questions?"

Ling Yongchang felt somewhat helpless watching his ancestor act like a rogue.

He had experienced his ancestor's temper before.

Although they could only accept their ancestor's explanation, which was hardly an explanation, they dared not ask any further questions.

They were afraid that their ancestor might take action against them if he was displeased.
