Chapter 1734: Third Day

"Where is Liao Shuzhen? Why don’t I see her?"

Bai Xuanyue looked at Ling Yun suspiciously. "Do you have any plans for Shuzhen?"

"Eh? What do you mean by that?" Ling Yun was confused.

"You’ve already gotten Qinzhi; do you also have the intention of getting Shuzhen?"

Ling Yun was momentarily stunned. "Honestly, I don’t have any plans for the three of you, and my relationship with Qinzhi happened because of the old dragon."

"Really?"

"Really." Ling Yun nodded. "You and Senior Shuzhen are indeed beautiful and powerful, but I feel that there is something unusual about the two of you. Besides, Ming’er told me Huang Lingzhu’s plans regarding the immortal races, but I didn’t want to think about it because it wasn’t my responsibility."

Bai Xuanyue raised an eyebrow. "Something unusual?"

"I don’t know how to say it, but that’s how I feel about you two." Ling Yun sensed something strange about Bai Xuanyue. "Why are you suddenly asking about that?"

"Nothing." Bai Xuanyue looked at Ling Yun in thought. "If I say that Shuzhen is thinking of accepting Sister Lingzhu’s plan, are you willing to accept her?"

Ling Yun pondered Bai Xuanyue’s question while searching for the right answer. "Does she really want to accept Huang Lingzhu’s plan?"

"Maybe."

"If she’s considering that idea, she should meet me in person."

"Mmm." Bai Xuanyue nodded slightly. "I will return to my post to monitor those heretics again."

"That woman is really weird." Ling Yun turned to Ling Xi, who appeared suddenly. "Can you read their hearts?"

"No." Ling Yun was a little surprised by Ling Xi’s answer. "Bai Xuanyue had learned from the Sheng Ming case, and she deliberately masked her heart, preventing me from reading her. However, I can tell you that Liao Shuzhen has been seriously considering Huang Lingzhu’s idea for the past few months, and she will probably make a decision soon."

Ling Yun sighed. "I dislike Huang Lingzhu even more because she’s always scheming against us. Her ideas make me feel like she sees me as a tool she can use as she pleases. I want the immortal race to thrive again, but I don’t like her ideas and attitude."

"Haha," Ling Xi laughed. "If you are still the same as you were before, I believe you will accept Huang Lingzhu’s ideas, and you will pounce on all those female immortals. After all, none of those female immortals are ugly, and they will help you a lot in the future."

Ling Yun rubbed his nose. "You’re probably right about that."

"So, what about those two spies? Are they really going to move tomorrow?"

"They seem to have realized something, and they’re considering postponing their plans."

"Are their plans slightly faltering because Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou won’t be arriving in this domain yet?"

"Maybe." At first, Ling Yun didn’t want to waste too much time in the domain, but he discovered a serious problem as soon as they arrived. "Let’s wait until tomorrow."

"Zhou Yu will monitor all the sisters from within the void, and he will send them back to our residence in the Forgotten Starfall Domain if the situation becomes dangerous for them."

Ling Yun was not too worried about all his wives and children because he knew that Zhou Yu and the others would not remain silent if those heretics made a move against them. "Sigh! You should go there and keep an eye on them again, Ling Xi."

"Alright."

Ling Yun spread his senses across several areas to check the movements of the heretics, but the situation in that domain was still like the calm before a storm. "Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou, I will definitely kill you both if you dare to come and cause trouble in this domain."

The competition entered its third day, and all the arenas were already filled with participants who would soon compete.

Just like the previous two days, Ling Yun and Sheng Ming sat together with their daughter on their lap, waiting for the match to begin. He appeared calm, but he was worried that the heretics would harm all his wives and children.

"Are those heretics going to make a move today, husband?" Sheng Ming asked, looking at the competition participants below.

"Those two people said it was highly likely that they would make their move today, but their leader was still doubtful because Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou still hadn’t arrived." Ling Yun looked at Sheng Ming. "Have you taught our daughter to use her innate ability?"

Sheng Ming patted her daughter’s head. "Our daughter can use it, but the qi in her body isn’t as thick as ours, so she probably can’t use it continuously. If there are too many casualties, many of them will die."

Ling Yun didn’t really care about the fate of those people, as they were strangers. What mattered most to him was the safety of his wives and children; he would never force his daughter to save them all.

"Hopefully, the ensuing chaos won’t be too big." Ling Yun suddenly raised an eyebrow as he looked at the competition participants. "They’ve started moving, but their numbers aren’t too great yet. So far, there are only five heretics in each queue."

"Hmm?" Sheng Ming frowned. "Does that mean they plan to target all participants of all levels at once?"

"I think so." Ling Yun contacted all his wives and children, informing them of the heretics’ identities. "As long as their cultivation levels are equal, I don’t need to worry about them. Your sisters should be able to handle them on their own, but I also ask you to be wary if the heretics use pills or strengthening techniques."

Sheng Ming nodded in agreement with her husband. Although the cultivation of most of Ling Yun’s wives was not yet on par with his, they had trained in the dream space for so long, and their fighting abilities were far above their opponents.

"Those matches are almost starting."

Ling Yun pointed towards the arena prepared for cultivators with cultivation in the Three Immortal Realms. "Look over there, Ming’er. Lu Yi’s opponent is one of those heretics."

"Strangely, I can barely sense that heretic’s demon aura." Sheng Ming looked at Ling Yun. "Is Lu Yi the only one who has encountered those heretics?"

Ling Yun shook his head. "The opponents of Lu Shen, You Ya, Xiao Xiao, Meng Xianzi, and Xuanyuan Xue’er are also heretics. Those heretics are confident in facing them, but they will understand the terror of all your sisters once the match begins."

"Haha," Sheng Ming laughed. "The unluckiest ones are the opponents Lu Yi and Xuanyuan Xue’er, husband. I am sure that they will kill those heretics."

"That’s true." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "Lu Yi’s hatred for those heretics is so deep, so she will not spare her opponent. In the past, Xuanyuan Xue’er also hated those heretics so much, and she slaughtered countless of them in our home realm, which made them fear her."

Sheng Ming naturally already knew Xuanyuan Xue’er’s past, and he felt sorry for her because she had experienced such an incident in the past. However, her sister had changed since she met their husband and became his wife, and she had even given birth to a daughter. "What about the others?"

"Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu’s opponents are also part of those heretics, but I have already warned both of them about their opponents’ identities," Ling Yun thought for a moment. "I’m a little worried about Xia’er, but I’m not too worried about Qiu’er. She has her dark phoenix flame, and it’s enough to kill her opponent."

Sheng Ming nodded. "Can you see that, husband? Yun Jingqiu’s opponent is a little strange, and he’s staring at her not to kill her but for something else."

"Hmm?" Ling Yun furrowed his brows. "Her opponent seems to know Qiu’er’s identity as the dark phoenix, and he probably wants to capture her. Even so, I still don’t worry about her safety, and she can defeat her opponent easily."

After some time, all the matches in all the arenas finally began. The sounds of fighting and cheering merged into one.

.

.

.

In one of the arenas, Xuanyuan Xue’er held her blue sword in her right hand, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her.

The woman looked at Xuanyuan Xue’er and licked her tongue. "You were very lucky to reach the third match, but your luck has run out because your opponent this time is me."

"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Xue’er smirked faintly. "I don’t understand why you chose to submit to those heretics, but you are truly unlucky to meet me in this match."

The woman frowned as soon as Xuanyuan Xue’er mentioned that matter. "Humph! You’re talking nonsense! I’ll beat you now, and I’ll take you with me!"

"Defeat me?"

The woman was shocked to hear Xuanyuan Xue’er’s voice from behind her, even though her figure was still in front of her.

The woman spun around and thrust her black sword towards her, but Xuanyuan Xue’er swiftly parried her attack and counterattacked by targeting her chest.

*Clang*

Xuanyuan Xue’er jumped back as her sword thrust was blocked by a small black barrier that suddenly appeared in front of the woman’s chest. However, it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared again.

"Heh!" The woman sneered and dashed toward the confused Xuanyuan Xue’er. "Your attacks can’t reach my body, so you will never be able to defeat me! Surrender to me or I will injure your beautiful face."

"You look down on me too much." Xuanyuan Xue’er flew into the air and swung her sword down, launching a swift attack towards the woman.

The woman grinned and took a stance, launching a counterattack towards Xuanyuan Xue’er. Their attacks collided in midair, creating a large explosion. However, the woman didn’t stop there, and she flew towards her at high speed. "Heh! Got you!"
