Feng Ruxue and the others became tense when Long Jue and his mount landed in front of them, and Er Xiyi changed into her demi-human form to match her master, but Ling Xi reassured them to remain calm. "At first, I thought that you would contact people from your race to capture us, but apparently I was wrong, and here you are now."

"Haha." Long Jue laughed awkwardly after hearing that, but he and Er Xiyi immediately cupped their hands towards Ling Xi. "Forgive us for disturbing you and the others, Senior. It is our duty to watch over our realm, and we must ensure that everyone who comes here does not have malicious intentions. Moreover, it's been a long time since anyone has come to this realm, but I didn't expect that a woman from the spirit race would come here, and you came with those humans, mythical beasts, and demons."

Feng Ruxue and the others were shocked to hear that, but Ling Xi remained relaxed. "We came here to train for approximately two weeks, and we will leave after we finish our training. As for the three female demons, they are our family."

"I know." Long Jue replied as he observed the three women behind Ling Xi. Despite his fascination with the beauty of Feng Ruxue and Feng Ling'er, he quickly averted his gaze and made a concerted effort to restrain himself.

Although she was sure of her previous guesses, Er Xiyi wanted to further confirm the identities of Tian Lanyi and the others. "Senior, is that woman with the white fox silhouette really the Celestial Nine-Tailed Fox? Besides, the six beast women in that area are followers of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, right?"

"Oh?" Ling Xi immediately read their memories before nodding to Er Xiyi. "Yu'er only has the Celestial Nine-Tailed Fox; the real one resides within her body, and those six beast women are indeed his followers."

"Does that mean the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon is also in this realm? Otherwise, they all wouldn't be here now, right?"

Suddenly, Feng Ruxue spoke to Ling Xi via voice transmission. 'Are you going to tell them about Yun'er, Big Sis Xi? I'm afraid they'll contact members of their race if they find out about him, and we might face a huge fight if that happens.'

'I understand your considerations, but I'm sure no problems will occur.' Ling Xi then turned to Feng Ruxue. 'I've read their memories, and they're not bad. Instead, they will be useful for us, and we can get more strong allies to face our enemies.'

'I see.' Feng Ruxue nodded in understanding. 'If you believe that, then it's fine, but you still have to do something to prevent them from reporting our presence to their people, or else we won't be able to train in peace.'

'I know.' Ling Xi then turned back to their guests, channeling her pink qi into their bodies without their knowledge, before responding to Er Xiyi's question. "The heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon is our husband, and he's somewhere else right now. You will have to wait a while to meet him, especially since he is currently engaged in a serious endeavor and cannot be disturbed by anyone else."

"Is he there, Senior?" Long Jue asked while pointing towards the location of the six beast women. "Even though I have never entered that place before because an invisible barrier protects the entire place, I know that there is a sacred place built by one of my ancestors there, or else they would not have gathered in that area now."

Since he had already guessed it, Ling Xing did not deny Long Jue's question. "Our husband is indeed there now, and he is absorbing the remains of something left behind by the dark abyss tiger. Although the barrier can prevent other people from entering that place, my sister can send him there very easily."

"Your sister is the spirit woman who rules the void, so there aren't many barriers that can stop her." Long Jue said it with a wry smile. "Anyway, where is your next destination after leaving this realm?"

"Have you two ever heard of the mysterious tower?"

"Huh?" Hearing that momentarily took them both aback, but their expressions soon turned excited. "Senior, can we go with you to that realm? I've often heard about that tower, and I've long wanted to challenge it. However, my leader strictly forbids us from going there, especially since there are too many humans who often travel there, and many of them were stronger than us, so I couldn't do anything about it."

"That's right, Senior." Er Xiyi also said to her. "I heard there were a lot of unique beasts in that tower, so I also wanted to go there to fight with them. Unfortunately, I couldn't go there without Long Jue, especially since our souls were tied to each other."

"Oh? Did you guys make a soul contract?"

They nodded at Ling Xi before Long Jue explained the situation to her. "Xiyi and I no longer have parents, and I accidentally met her when we were little. Since then, we have been together for a long time, and we agreed to make a soul contract."

"Do you know the risks of making a soul contract?"

"We know." Both of them answered in unison. "Even though Long Jue is a pervert, we love each other, and we won't be able to live without each other. That's why we made the decision to stay together, even if one of us passes away first."

They were surprised by Er Xiyi's answer, especially since it was difficult to find a pair of lovers like them who were willing to follow their partner to death. In fact, Feng Ruxue was no different from them, particularly due to her soul contract with Ling Yun, which bound her to him. However, it happened purely by accident, and it only applies to one side, especially since he contracted her by force.

Ling Xi turned towards Ling Yun's location for a moment before answering them. "Regarding your wish to join us, the decision depends on our husband, so the two of you will have to wait for him to come out first."

Even though they felt disappointed by that, they could understand Ling Xi's decision. "In that case, we'll wait for him to come out of that place, and we'll go on patrol first, but we'll come back here later."

"All right."

Following their departure, Ling Xi promptly informed the others, asking them to continue their training. However, she remained vigilant to prevent any unexpected events.

Meanwhile, five men were flying together in the sky, and one of them asked another. "Is this the realm that Elder Jing Shen told you about, Acedia?"

"Yes." Acedia then gestured towards the northern region. "He told me that they live in that region, Superbia. However, you guys have to be careful, especially since all of them are cultivators, or else you will suffer the same fate as Invidia. You guys are indeed strong, but your strength is below theirs, and I won't be able to protect all of you by myself."

Superbia and the others frowned after Acedia mentioned Invidia, especially since she was also an immortal like them, but she had died because of Ling Xi's actions, and Avaritia asked them. "Do you guys think they already know we're coming for them?"

"I'm not sure about that." Superbia responded by shaking her head. "However, I think Elder Jing Shen would never order us to capture them if they were already aware of our presence, especially since it would be no different from sending us into a tiger's den."

"Do you trust him that much?" Superbia immediately turned to Ira with a frown. "I know that he is the Spirit Emperor's advisor, but I've heard a lot of bad news about him, and one of them is his involvement in the disappearance of the old Spirit Emperor. Furthermore, we all know that the other spirits never liked him, but none of them managed to find any solid evidence on the matter, so they never did anything to him, or they would have been punished harshly."

"I agree with him, Superbia." Gula joined in the conversation. "In fact, this issue has also been a hot topic of discussion among other nature racers for quite some time, and many of them think that Elder Jiang Chen has defected and joined those heretics. I even heard that Xian Di and Nu Wang are suspicious that he had already handed over the old Spirit Emperor to those people, so we never managed to find any trace of his whereabouts to this day."

Seeing Superbia doubting their words, Acedia tried to talk to him. "Hey, I already asked Elder Jing Shen about our assignment, and I asked him whether the Spirit Emperor agreed with this matter or not, but he didn't give me a clear answer, so I felt that he was ordering us without his consent."

"I agree with you, Acedia." They immediately turned to Avaritia. "You guys must remember that the Spirit Emperor is not a despicable person, and he couldn't possibly do something like this to capture Luxuria and Ling Yun, so I think Elder Jing Shen has an ulterior motive in ordering us to capture those people, but I can't understand his motives."
