Cui Lao continued to sit on the bed cross-legged. Laughing in embarrassment, he said, “Ah, my internal injuries recovered by about 50%, and my meridians and energy center have mostly recovered. Originally, I thought I could rush to the Xiantian Realm at once, but I didn’t expect it to be all for naught!”

Ling Yun helped Cui Lao pick up his clothes that were at the side as he laughed dryly. “Cui Lao, you don’t have to worry. I can assure you that the day you recover from your injuries is also the day you will reach the Xiantian Realm!”

At this moment, Cui Lao’s injuries were still not fully recovered. And they had barely walked out of death’s gate as well. His meridians that had just recovered weren’t able to absorb strong amounts of spiritual energy either. So, once Cui Lao’s old injuries recovered, Ling Yun was prepared to give him the dragon saliva so that he could reach the Xiantian Realm in one shot.

“Oh?” Cui Lao’s eyes reflected curiously. Both of his eyes shone as he stared at Ling Yun. Looking up and down seriously, he sighed heavily as he said, “Ah… I’m old now and not as strong as I used to be. I can’t believe I’ve lived until sixty and owe your family my life again!”

Hearing this, Ling Yun’s heart skipped a beat. Glancing at Cui Lao, he thought to himself, It can’t be, is he really here to protect me on behalf of my mother? Did mother save Cui Lao’s life before? This…

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I heard you say that you’re going to start a huge war tonight. Right now, I’m only a step away from entering the Xiantian Realm, so it’s the perfect time for me to lend you a hand…” Cui Lao said this as he got dressed and got off the bed.

Ling Yun asked with reservation, “Cui Lao, what about your injuries?”

Cui Lao turned to look at Ling Yun. He extended a hand out to squeeze Ling Yun’s shoulder but held back at the last moment. His lips curling up, he said, “You brat, you’re obviously very kind. But, why do you pretend to be bad?”

Ling Yun laughed awkwardly. He never thought that the day would come where the word “kind” would be used to describe him. Scratching his head, he said, “Hehe, a kind man is often taken advantage of, just as a submissive horse is ridden by men. When I was young, I was bullied too much. I can’t help but be bad…”

Staring at Ling Yun for a long time, Cui Lao sighed in a heart-broken manner as he said sagely, “Let’s return! We’ll have a meal first. Since we’re going out for battle, we must eat until our bellies are full before we have the energy to fight!”

“Cui Lao, are your injuries really fine?”

Cui Lao laughed aloud and said, “I see that your concern has made you confused. As a doctor, you should know best. Could it be that you can’t tell that I am in peak condition now? Rest assured!”

Ling Yun, Cui Lao, and the other men, together with the nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White, didn’t take the car. Instead, they traveled to a restaurant on foot. Asking for the best room, they began to have their meal.

While they were eating, Tang Meng began to talk excitedly about the matter two weeks back again. Listening to this, Dugu Mo and Cui Lao nodded quietly.

The five of them ate until they were full. At 10pm, they returned to Mansion Number One. On the way, Ling Yun gave Ning Lingyu a call, telling her to rest well, go to school, and not to worry about him.

Even though Ning Lingyu wanted to meet Ling Yun more than anyone else, she knew that Ling Yun was busy with his own matters at the moment. Miracle Doctor Xue had told Ning Lingyu before as well not to worry, so Ning Lingyu forcibly remained calm.

After Ling Yun and the others returned to Mansion Number One, Dugu Mo naturally began his cultivation once again. As for Cui Lao, he seemed to really like Tie Xiaohu, and he personally taught Tie Xiaohu some martial arts.

Pulling Tang Meng to the living room, Ling Yun asked him furtively, “Our Jiangnan Province is near the sea. Is there any uninhabited island nearby?”

The nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White, was about to evolve in a week’s time. After looking around, Ling Yun still felt that finding an uninhabited island would be a better option.

Hearing this, Tang Meng lost all color in his face as he said, “Brother Yun, you, you’re not going to disappear on us, right? I’m telling you, if you disappear on us again, even if we, your brothers, can tolerate it, Lingyu definitely wouldn’t be able to!”

When Ling Yun went missing, who was the person that was the most stressed and worried about Ling Yun? Of course it was Ning Lingyu!

Hearing Tang Meng say this about him, Ling Yun was embarrassed. Replying apologetically, he said, “Relax. This time, I’m going there to do something with Little White. I’ll take at most two days, and I’ll return. You just have to tell me where I can find such a place.”

Tang Meng scratched his head and said, “If we’re talking about an uninhabited island, I really don’t know about one. But, there is an island that probably doesn’t have anyone living on it. But it’s not really safe there right now!”

The thing that Ling Yun was least afraid of was danger. Hearing this, he immediately asked, “What island?”

Tang Meng chuckled and said, “What other island could it be? Nearest to Jiangnan Province, it’s Turtle Island. Right now, the Japanese are saying that it’s their territory. They’ve been having territorial disputes every day!”

Currently, Ling Yun’s geographical knowledge was pretty strong. But he never bothered about the latest news and didn’t watch television either. Hence, even though he knew where Turtle Island was geographically, he didn’t know if there were East Asians on it.

“East Asians?” Hearing this, Ling Yun immediately thought of Tokugawa Takeshi. His heart swirling with disgust, he made a decision in his heart to take Little White to Turtle Island to take down those d*mn East Asians!

“But, Brother Yun, I heard that the Japanese have their soldiers on Turtle Island right now…” Tang Meng said hesitantly.

Ling Yun smiled as he shook his head, implying that he didn’t have to worry. Patting Tang Meng’s shoulder, he said, “Book a boat for me next week!”

After wrapping up the discussion on this matter, Ling Yun was prepared to let Tang Meng leave. But he heard Tang Meng’s phone ring.

Pulling out his phone immediately, he realized that it was his mother that was calling. Picking it up quickly, he only heard a few words before his face turned completely pale!

“Alright, mother, you don’t have to worry. There’s still me and Brother Yun here!” After finishing his words, Tang Meng hurriedly hung up the phone.

Tang Meng was about to tell Ling Yun what had happened, but Ling Yun’s eyes were already filled with killing intent. His eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he said, “You don’t have to say more, I heard it all. Sun Tianbiao even dares to capture Uncle Tang as well. This means war. I’ll definitely be there to show him what that means!”

“Brother Yun, this… What should we do about this?” Hearing that Tang Tianhao was captured by the Sun Family, he lost his wits. His mind was completely frazzled.

Ling Yun pat Tang Meng’s shoulder lightly as he said in a deep voice, “Tang Meng, do you trust me?”

Tang Meng nodded and said, “Brother Yun, who else can I trust but you?”

Ling Yun smiled lightly as he said, “That’s good. Then listen up. Right now, there’s nothing you can do about your father’s matter. Right now, the most important thing that you must do is go back and take good care of your mother. I promise that I’ll save your father tonight!”

“Brother Yun, I’ll support you!” Even though Tang Meng was worried about Tang Tianhao’s safety, he was a very logical person. He recalled what happened the last time he saved Zhuang Meifeng — how his men had held Ling Yun back. Then, he nodded resolutely.

Ling Yun pulled out dozens of Fire Talismans and Healing Talismans. He stuffed all of them into Tang Meng’s hands and said, “You know how to use these, right? This is a Fire Talisman, and this is a Healing Talisman. Don’t mix them up, alright?”

Ling Yun said this and sent Tang Meng outside of the mansion. He told him to take his Hummer home and wait for good news.

“Tie Xiaohu, tonight, you stay here and watch the house! Practice here!” Ling Yun gave Tie Xiaohu dozens of Fire Talismans and Healing Talismans as he said this to Tie Xiaohu.

Tie Xiaohu hadn’t even reached Houtian Realm Level Four. If he went to the Zhuang Family tonight, it would be akin to sending him to his death. Obviously, Ling Yun wouldn’t send him there.

Putting all of the other matters on hold, Ling Yun, Cui Lao, and Dugu Mo changed into their stealth clothes and put on masks. After packing everything they needed, they left Mansion Number One with a flash of movement.

As the three of them were in dark clothes and their faces were covered, they moved at high speed where they were as fast as lightning; it was as if the wind were carrying them forward. Their route to the Zhuang Family was nearly a straight path.

On the way, Ling Yun gave the two of them some Fire Talismans and Healing Talismans as well, telling them to use them in times of need.

While Cui Lao was sprinting forward, he was talking to Ling Yun telepathically, but this had given Ling Yun a huge shock.

The reason was that Cui Lao told him that Sun Tianbiao was actually at least an expert at Xiantian Realm Level One! Furthermore, together with the people that Sun Tianbiao had brought, there were two Xiantian Realm Level One bodyguards to protect him, four people at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine, and excluding these four people, there were still eight people who were at Houtian Realm Level Nine and fourteen people who were at Houtian Realm Level Eight!

Just counting these people, other than the regular experts, there were nearly thirty people who were at least Houtian Realm Level Eight!

“Cui Lao, how could the Sun Family be so strong?” Ling Yun asked in shock.

There was no way Ling Yun wouldn’t feel shocked. Because Cao Shanshan had mentioned before that in a worldly sect, having about a dozen ancient sect or hidden sect cultivators would already make them strong. When Ling Yun killed Sun Xing, he had already killed four great experts then. In reality, they shouldn’t have had so many experts left.

Furthermore, just considering the region, having so many experts made it far too ridiculous. If the Sun Family had such power, they were almost as powerful as the smallest ancient sect!

Ling Yun was actually secretly excited. Luckily, he had already reached Physique Tempering Stage Five that night. At the same time, his Stellar Condensation Technique had improved by another level as well. Otherwise, his attack on the Sun Family would be a thousand times more dangerous than the last time.

“Ling Yun, you don’t know about things yet. Normally, it isn’t like this either. It’s because of the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book appearing consecutively. It alerted all of the ancient sects and hidden sects, even those from the Devil Sect!

“The abilities of the ancient sects and the hidden sects are obvious, but to meet their objectives in this small city, they must rely on worldly sects. At the very least, in terms of communication and travel, as well as wealth and some other aspects, they would be able to obtain sufficient support from them!

“Sun Tianbiao has so many wives that he can’t even count them. He even has seven to eight sons. Even if Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing died, he wouldn’t twitch an eye. The Sun Family’s real objective this time is to find out where the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book are!”

Ling Yun asked confusedly, “The Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor’s Book? Then, what about the other sects? Wouldn’t they have received this information too? Would they just let the Sun Family take it all for themselves?”

The Sun Family had dragged so many people into this mess. Were the city’s top families — the Long Family, the Chen Family, the Ye family, the Cao family, and the others — all deaf and blind?

Cui Lao laughed dryly, and he said, “Right now, you’re the one stirring up all the clouds in the city. The only one you offended was the Sun Family. The fact that they came here is right and proper. If the Sun Family didn’t come, who else would?”

Soaring through the night skies, Ling Yun suddenly halted to a stop. Pulling out his phone, he immediately made a call to Miracle Doctor Xue.

He already heard about so many people. If there was a hidden expert, even if Ling Yun unleashed all of his power, he wouldn’t be able to deal with them all!

After taking the call, Miracle Doctor Xue only smiled and said, “Just let loose and go for it!”
