Free Web NovelChapter 1728: Depart For The Competition
Dongfang Qinzhi looked at Ling Yun in a daze. "Are you thinking of having Jian Xieshen’s sword? That sword is too bloody because he used it to kill countless people in the past, and its spirit is kind of twisted."
"Twisted?"
"Yes," Dongfang Qinzhi nodded. "In fact, that spirit was a good child when he was first born, and Jian Xieshen’s character was untainted at that time. However, everything changed when Jian Xieshen discovered the devil seed, had it implanted in himself, and his character underwent a drastic transformation. After that incident, he mercilessly began killing people, which affected the spirit’s character."
Ling Yun fell silent and thought about it. "Isn’t there anyone who can purify the spirit and return it to normal?"
"Sister Ming should be able to do that with her unrivaled light element, but Sister Huang never told her about it, and she sealed the sword and the spirit in this domain."
"That woman is simply too much, and she always acts without discussing with others." Dongfang Qinzhi smiled bitterly because Huang Lingzhu’s character was like that, and no one could change her. "If Sheng Ming can purify the spirit, I’m thinking of taking the sword and using it myself."
Dongfang Qinzhi was curious about Ling Yun’s intentions, so she immediately asked him. "Why do you want that sword? Don’t you already have the seven-form chaos dragon cannon? In this universe, no weapon can match it, so I don’t think you need Jian Xieshen’s sword."
"That sword is much safer with me, right? If I don’t take the sword and keep it for myself, someone else might find it, and it might cause us other problems in the future." Dongfang Qinzhi agreed with Ling Yun, but she felt that he didn’t need the sword. "By the way, Long Yuyi also has a devil seed inside her, and that sword might be suitable for her."
Dongfang Qinzhi’s eyes widened. "You... you’re not thinking of giving that sword to Long Yuyi, are you? If you give it to her, the devil seed inside her might awaken, and she might end up the same as Jian Xieshen in the future."
"Why are you so panicked?" Ling Yun pulled Dongfang Qinzhi closer, planting a soft kiss on her lips. "Naturally, I would never give Jian Xieshen’s sword to Long Yuyi before Sheng Ming purifies the spirit. If I gave it to her before then, his bloodlust would affect her.
Dongfang Qinzhi rubbed her lips in a daze. Even though she had lived with Ling Yun for almost a year, and their souls often dual soul cultivated in his soul space, they very rarely kissed directly.
Ling Yun smiled and kissed Dongfang Qinzhi’s lips, waking her from her daze. She didn’t reject him; instead, she closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him back.
Ling Yun hugged Dongfang Qinzhi and took her away from the roof. A while later, they had arrived at his bedroom, and he laid her on the bed.
Dongfang Qinzhi trembled when Ling Yun’s hand touched her breast, and she reflexively pushed him back. "Sorry, I’m not ready to go that far with you. Even though our souls have dual soul cultivated too many times, I’m not ready to dual cultivate with you."
"Alright." Ling Yun lay beside Dongfang Qinzhi. "Many problems will arise in tomorrow’s competition, so we must be extremely vigilant."
"Yes." Dongfang Qinzhi lay beside her and hugged Ling Yun. "You just need to focus on those heretics, and the four of us will protect your wives and children for you. If Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou appear, Sister Hao will deal with them, and Sister Lingzhu might appear to assist him."
Ling Yun nodded in agreement, and he was certain that Huang Lingzhu wouldn’t wash her hands of this matter because she was the one who sealed Jian Xieshen’s sword on that island. He was certain that woman was already in the domain, but she was deliberately hiding herself, and she would only appear if Huang Hao couldn’t deal with them. "Let’s sleep first."
"You can sleep, and I’ll meet the others."
"Alright."

Above the night sky.
Huang Hao stood alongside Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen on the island that would be the venue for the competition. They saw numerous arenas there, where cultivators from their domain and other domains would compete with each other.
*Swoosh*
Dongfang Qinzhi appeared beside them, but Liao Shuzhen teased her. "I thought you would spend your night with Ling Yun."
"I’m not ready to be his wife for real." Dongfang Qinzhi immediately changed the subject. "So, where is the entrance to the sealed sword?"
"Over there." Huang Hao pointed to the western area of the island. "The entrance is there, but it’s sealed by a powerful formation, so the people of this domain can’t find it.
Dongfang Qinzhi directed her senses to that area. "If Sister Lingzhu uses such a powerful formation to seal the entrance, Jian Xieshen shouldn’t be able to enter it, right?"
"She never expected Jian Xieshen to return alive, so the formation wouldn’t be able to prevent him from entering that place." Dongfang Qinzhi and the two female immortals felt that Huang Lingzhu was quite careless, and it was definitely out of character. "Besides, Xie Zuzhou will help him, and that ancient demon is quite cunning, so I’m sure he has a way to get in there."
"Are those two already in this domain? I’ve tried searching for their whereabouts, but I couldn’t find them," Bai Xuanyue said.
Huang Hao shook her head slightly. "They haven’t arrived in this domain yet, but they should be closed. Moreover, the competition won’t end in a day with so many participants, and they might appear during the main matches."
"If you say it like that, it means their targets are cultivators who have already reached the Three Immortal Realms."
"That’s right." Huang Hao nodded. "Cultivators below that level still have some use for them, but they’re just cannon fodder. Huang Lingzhu and I don’t have any information about their plans yet, but we suspect that they’ll use cultivators who have reached that level for some purpose, such as attacking the Thousand Beast Realm once again. Back then, they attacked that realm, but Ling Yun and the others managed to stop them, and he killed three of Xie Zuzhou’s confidants, including Qi Wuhei."
Bai Xuanyue sighed. "Sister Lingzhu should have stopped Xie Zuzhou from the moment he first appeared, so he wouldn’t have brought trouble to this era."
"What can we do? Sister Lingzhu never wanted to interfere in the lives of mortals, and she left everything to fate," Liao Shuzhen said with a helpless sigh. "Even though it seems too late, we can still resolve this. If we kill Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou, this matter will be resolved."
"Are you sure you can kill Jian Xieshen?" The three female immortals looked at Huang Hao. "I don’t know what Xie Zuzhou did to help him, so we can’t underestimate him. I’m sure the two of them have prepared several things to take that sword from that place, and that maniac will be even more terrifying if he manages to get it."
"Why doesn’t Sister Lingzhu go to the Ancient Devil Domain?"
Huang Hao shook her head. "She said there was something in that domain that could stop him, but she didn’t explain the details to me."
"Oh? Something that can stop Sister Lingshu? Is that thing in Xie Zuzhou’s hands?"
"Huang Lingzhu said that Xie Zuzhou didn’t know anything about it." The three female immortals breathed a sigh of relief. "Xuanyue, I know that Ling Yun can’t detect those heretics, so you should monitor their movements and tell him which are normal cultivators and which are heretics starting tomorrow."
"Alright," Bai Xuanyue agreed.
"You three and Sheng Ming just need to focus on those cultivators, and I will monitor the appearance of Jian Xieshen and Xie Zuzhou." freёwebnovel.com
"Does that mean your cultivation has broken through to the Pseudo-Supreme Realm?"
Huang Hao nodded at them. "Just like Sheng Ming, I already broke through to that stage some time ago, so it won’t be difficult for me to deal with those two."
"I envy you and Sister Ming." Bai Xuanyue and Dongfang Qinzhi felt the same way as Liao Shuzhen.
Huang Hao turned to them with an amused smile. "Didn’t Sheng Ming already teach the clone technique to the three of you? As long as all three of your clones cultivate in the Primordial Realm, you guys will also reach that stage soon, so you don’t need to be jealous of the two of us."
"Well, that’s true."
"Let’s go back for now."

Morning came quickly, and cultivators from various islands began to move towards the island where the competition would take place.
Just like them, cultivators from the Heavenly Star Sect were also traveling to the island, but many of them felt a sense of trepidation, especially after Yu Shuang told them about those demons and devils. They were worried that the heretics’ strength had surpassed them, and they were afraid that they would die at the hands of their enemies.
"I understand your worries and fears, but I’m sure everything will be fine."
Xin Xinghe asked Yu Shuang. "Are you sure everything will be fine, Sect Master Yu?"
"Why don’t you ask him?" Yu Shuang pointed to a flying artifact beside them, which was Ling Yun’s flying artifact.
Xin Xinghe looked at the flying artifact, finding Ling Yun standing at its front end. They could see that his eyes were so sharp, and his gaze was focused on the island that would be the location for the match.
Ling Yun turned to them. "You guys don’t need to worry about those heretics, and I will make sure everything will be safe."
