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

Finally, he understood from Hong Yuan why the Ling family didn't care at all about crippling Feng Chen.

Upon hearing this, even Ling Yun, who rarely got angry, couldn't help but get angry and stood up to ask.

"How is the child?"

Hong Yuan sighed and shook his head.

"Because she was so traumatized, she is now despondent and has attempted suicide several times. Her parents are afraid that she will hurt herself, so they stay by her side every step of the way."

"Take me to see it."

Hong Yuan sensed his ancestor's anger and dared not be negligent.

However, there is an awkward problem: he rarely leaves the forbidden area and doesn't know where the child is.

"Uh! Ancestor, why don't we go find that guy Ling Jun? He's familiar with the Ling family."

At this moment, he regretted locking himself in the forbidden area. He wasn't going into seclusion, was he? Now, when the ancestor needed him, he didn't know the way.

Ling Yun didn't pay any attention.

When people saw two people they had never seen before walking out of the bamboo garden, they were shocked.

They all stood there, stunned.

No one would mistake the two of them for thieves who broke into the Ling family.

"Ling Wanrou greets the Ancestor."

"Ling Jiu greets the Ancestor."

Ling Wanrou and Ling Jiu happened to meet them and took the lead in greeting them.

The others then realized what was going on.

The incredibly beautiful woman before them was the patriarch the family head had just mentioned.

"Disciple greets the ancestor."

"The Ling family doesn't have so many formalities. Get up and go about your business."

Do either of you know where Xiao Shi lives in that separate courtyard?

He looked at Ling Wanrou and the other person and asked.

The two were initially puzzled, their gazes falling on Hong Yuan beside Ling Yun. They had never seen this person before, but being able to be by the ancestor's side meant he was certainly not an outsider.

Although she was somewhat curious about what the old ancestor wanted with Xiao Shi?

Xiao Shi is in a really bad state right now and shouldn't be seen by anyone.

But he didn't ask any more questions and led the way for the ancestor.

No sooner had they left than someone informed the Ling family about Ling Yun's situation.

"You mean the ancestor went to find that kid, Xiao Shi?"

"Yes, Master, the Second Miss and the Ninth Miss are leading the way for the Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jun and the others didn't ask any further questions and headed directly towards where Ling Qi lived.

Because Ling Qi is not in good condition, she was placed in a courtyard with fewer people from the Ling family, so as not to frighten the child if there were too many people.

As soon as Ling Yun and his group stepped into Ling Qi's courtyard, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Qi'er, don't be like this. It's not your fault. It's all that beast's fault, that damned beast."

"Qi'er, my precious daughter, it's my fault for not protecting you properly. Please, don't do this, it hurts my heart."

"Qi'er, Mother is here. Mother will always be by your side. I will never leave you again. My dear, can you give me the sword?"

From inside came the mother's voice, filled with self-reproach and pleas.

She hated herself for not protecting her precious daughter, letting her suffer the defilement of a beast at such a young age.

She hated, she regretted.

Ling Yun stood still, listening.

His face was completely expressionless.

"Ah, no."

Suddenly, a look of terror filled the air. In the nick of time, Ling Yun moved swiftly and rushed inside.

Snapped!

Ling Qi's sword was snatched away by Ling Yun.

Lingqi's mother, Xiao Rong, rushed forward and hugged her daughter.

"How could you abandon your mother? If anything happens to you, how will your mother live?"

Xiao Rong's body trembled uncontrollably, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and she looked pale. She hugged her daughter tightly, as if her precious daughter had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, I'm so dirty, so dirty, so dirty, so dirty."

"No, my Qi'er is not dirty at all. She is still the beautiful and clean Qi'er."

Ling Qi's eyes were empty and lifeless, and her whole being exuded an aura of despair.

At that moment, she was like a porcelain doll, as if she would shatter at the slightest touch.

He kept saying how dirty he was.

No matter how her mother tried to comfort her, she couldn't hear a word, like a soulless shell.

Those who came in later took a deep breath upon seeing this scene.

This wasn't the first time they had witnessed Ling Qi in such pain.

Ling Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ling Qi, look at me."

Ling Yun's voice reached Ling Qi's ears, seemingly possessing a magical power that brought her back to her senses, allowing her to meet Ling Yun's gaze.

Those were the calmest eyes she had ever seen in her life.

She was also somewhat comforted.

And so, she quietly watched Ling Yun.

"Tell me, do you want that beast to experience what it means to wish you were dead?"

Ling Yun's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

"I want to tear him to pieces, to slice him into a thousand pieces."

Thinking of Feng Chen reminded her of what he had done to her.

Ling Qi gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing a chilling coldness and overwhelming ruthlessness, like a poisoned blade.

At this moment, Ling Jun and the others rushed to the scene and overheard Ling Qi's resentful words.

Looking at Ling Qi like this, all they could feel was heartache.

She was just a fifteen-year-old girl who had just gotten married; she should be at the age of innocence and vitality.

Now, there is no trace of innocence left; it is like a demon that has emerged from hell.

“Very well, as you wish, I will bring him before you and personally atone for his sins.”

After saying that, he disappeared without looking back, not giving anyone else a chance to react.

Ling Qi was also somewhat confused at this moment, and stood there stunned.

Ling Jun came to his senses and realized that the ancestor was planning to go to the Spirit Beast Guild.

"I'm going to chase after the ancestor."

Hongyuan knew the old ancestor's intention to leave, and after saying a word, he went to chase after him.

He wasn't worried about his ancestor getting hurt, but rather that his ancestor wouldn't have anyone to run errands for him.

He has a very clear understanding of himself.

"Master, she is...?"

Xiao Rong then came to her senses and asked.

"She is the patriarch of the Ling family."

She looked at Ling Qi, who was still standing there in a daze, and said with heartache.

“Since the Ancestor has spoken, she will definitely stand up for you. If you continue to seek death, you will have wasted the Ancestor’s efforts and made her feel disheartened.”

After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, moving so fast it was as if some ferocious beast was chasing him.

He also had to go and assist the patriarch; he absolutely couldn't let that guy Hong Yuan be the only one making a name for himself.

When Ling Yun arrived at the Spirit Beast Guild, a powerful aura emanated from him, knocking out all the weaker members.

The vice president was startled and, not daring to delay, quickly left the guild.

"May I ask who you are, senior? What brings you to our Spirit Beast Guild?"

The vice president's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

This person in front of us is too strong. With just one wave of pressure, he knocked out most of the people in the guild.

Even their president couldn't do that.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of those around, and even some people with higher cultivation levels noticed it and rushed over to check the situation.

"Hand over Feng Chen."
