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

Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Normally, it wouldn't take this long to enter a secret realm.

If it is really as Master Shangguan Xiu said.

This secret realm is probably truly extraordinary.

Of course, the dangers involved are not simple.

He had almost forgotten about the secret realm lately because of the Ling family's affairs.

"So you're planning to have the ancestor accompany you? And also act as your bodyguard?"

"Get out of here! What do you mean by 'be my guard'? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Yes, you are."

"you......"

Shangguan Xiu felt a pain in his eyes.

This guy always manages to make fun of himself.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you."

He simply rolled his eyes at Ling Xiao, not wanting to pay him any attention.

"Ancestor of the Ling family, you must be of the lightning attribute, right?"

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow. How did this guy know?

"Well, don't misunderstand, I didn't investigate you. It was when you were killing the Zhou family's ancestor that I saw you use lightning-attribute techniques."

Ling Yun was somewhat surprised; this guy had observed things quite carefully.

The lightning skill she used at the time was so subtle that almost no one could detect it.

"What does this have to do with the secret realm?"

"Our temple's investigation has revealed that there may be demons in this secret realm."

"Demon?"

This was the second time he had heard the word "demon".

"Hmm, recently for some reason, Dream Soul Incense has appeared in many places."

"It's this thing again."

Ling Xiao frowned instantly.

"Judging from your appearance, have you met before?"

“A month ago, someone rescued the people from the Beacon Fire Sect. This person had used an excessive amount of Dream Soul Incense.”

"What? Such a thing actually happened?"

Shangguan Xiu was very surprised.

"Wait, something's not right! I heard Master say that if a large amount of Dream Soul Incense is used, there's basically no hope. But your attitude doesn't seem like something's wrong."

"The Dream Soul Incense is not without a solution, and the things you need to learn are not difficult either. It's just that there are probably not many people who know this method."

After all, the Dream Soul Incense originated from the Demon Clan, so the method to remove it naturally also originated from the Demon Clan.

"Does the ancestor know a way to cure this?"

Shangguan Xiu was somewhat excited.

"What? Someone around you has been poisoned by Dream Soul Incense?" Ling Xiao asked, looking at him.

"Yes, it is indeed the Third Elder of the Temple."

Ling Xiao had some recollection of that old man.

After all, it was this Third Elder who discovered that Shangguan Xiu was able to enter the Holy Temple back then.

He's a decent person.

"Ancestor."

"Don't look at me, don't you know the solution too? You can decide for yourself."

She's already done a good job of saving the Ling family, how can they expect her to continue doing hard labor?

No, absolutely not.

She was very glad that she had told everyone in the Ling family how to cure the Dream Soul Incense.

Ling Xiao understood that the ancestor was being lazy again.

"Ling Xiao, is your Ling family going to the secret realm again this time?"

"this......"

In the past, if a secret realm appeared, the Ling family would naturally go there.

But it's different now.

He couldn't help but look at Ling Yun.

It seemed to suggest that the decision was up to Lingyun.

[Hey boss, hey boss, secret realm, secret realm quest, let's go!]

The system's voice echoed in its mind.

Ling Yun did not refuse; someone's gaze was too intense.

When will the secret realm open? And where is it located?

It's probably not just Ling Xiao who's interested; others are likely to be just as interested.

"Dragon City, it will probably take about three more months."

"Dragon City?"

This Dragon City is the capital of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, and it is also the place where the Ling family's main residence is, as Ling Lie mentioned.

Ling Yun didn't have many thoughts about the main branch of the Ling family.

If that group is not united, it's better not to go back.

She doesn't need a backer, because she is her own backer.

After seeing Shangguan Xiu off, Ling Yun called everyone together again.

In the hall, Ling Yun sat lazily at the head of the table, one hand supporting his chin and the other occasionally tapping the table, completely ignoring them.

He seemed like an outsider, detached from the situation.

Watch them quietly.

"Hmm? You're done discussing?"

The hall suddenly fell silent before Ling Yun spoke.

“Ancestor, now everyone in the Ling family has improved their strength by one level, but many disciples lack practical experience. So we all feel that although this secret realm is dangerous, it is a great opportunity for practical experience. Therefore, we all want to send a few Ling family disciples to the secret realm.”

"Okay, whatever you decide is fine."

"Does the Ancestor have anyone he would recommend to go to the secret realm?"

Seeing that the patriarch had no objections, they pressed their advantage and continued their attack.

If they don't bring it up themselves, the patriarch probably won't want to get involved at all.

“You know those disciples far better than I do. You make your own decisions; there’s no need to ask me.”

"this......"

Since the ancestor has already said this much, how should they respond?

“Ancestor, I know you have witnessed their efforts over the past month. I doubt anyone understands them better than you.”

Ling Yun's lips twitched slightly. Did this guy install a surveillance device on her? He even knew that.

Alright, these guys just want her to lead those disciples, why don't they just say so?

Why go through all that trouble?

"Alright, alright, you just want me to keep an eye on those brats, right?"

Lingyun felt helpless.

The others, realizing they had been seen through, showed absolutely no embarrassment.

Sure enough, none of the Ling family members were good people.

"This time, all the direct descendants of the Ling family will go to the secret realm. You can decide for yourselves who the others are. Alright, from now until we set off, don't bother me again, or you can send your own people to go with me."

With that, he turned and walked away without looking back.

"Ancestor, is the Ancestor angry?"

"Yes, Ancestor, what if she gets angry? Will she abandon us in a fit of anger?"

One by one, they began to feel anxious and somewhat annoyed.

"Don't overthink it. Don't worry, the Ancestor isn't angry."

The old man is a bit lazy, but everything else is fine.

Angry? Of course not.

but......

Dragon City?

He had not been in contact with the main branch of the Ling family for more than a decade and did not know much about them.

He had originally thought that his ancestor had returned and that he would inform the Ling family, but he couldn't get in touch with him no matter what he did.

This situation could mean that the Ling family deliberately cut off his contact.

Or something must have happened to the Ling family's main branch.

Thinking about this, he felt he needed to talk to his ancestor.

After the patriarch goes to Dragon City, he will check on the situation of the Ling family's main branch.

The northern city is far from Dragon City, so we must hurry if we want to get there before the secret realm opens.

It wouldn't matter if Ling Yun went alone.

Unfortunately, he also had to bring about ten Ling family disciples.

"Hey bro, I have a dragon boat."

Fearing that Lingyun might not go because the road was too far, and without caring whether Lingyun wanted it or not, they immediately took the dragon boat out of the system.

Seeing the system's enthusiastic attitude, Ling Yun didn't know what to say.

This little black guy really never forgets his mission!
