After they left Long Yuyi's soul space, Ling Yun's clone asked Meng Xianzi to meet them, and he explained to her about the evil seed in her disciple's soul, which shocked the two-faced fox assassin. "Even an immortal like the life goddess couldn't remove the seed from her soul, huh?"
Ling Yun's clone shook his head at Meng Xianzi. "The seed has long been fused with Long Yuyi's soul, so it can't be removed anymore, and the only way to remove it is to kill her. However, we cannot kill her for that reason alone, especially since she has not yet committed any crimes."
"Yeah." Meng Xianzi then turned to Long Yuyi. "Can you close all your emotions? I know you will become emotionless because of it, but I think it's much better than the evil seed controlling you, and you will become a heartless killer if that happens."
"Master, the life goddess gave me another way to stop the seed from influencing me, but I can't decide whether to choose the first or the second." Meng Xianzi raised her eyebrows at that, but Long Yuyi herself was still torn between the two choices in front of her. "The first choice is indeed the best, but I don't want to be an emotionless woman, and my family doesn't want that either. As for the second choice, it is not without risk, and the evil seed in my soul will undoubtedly affect Ling Yun."
Meng Xianzi immediately turned to Ling Yun's clone. "What does Yuyi mean by that? Why would it affect you?"
"Master, Sheng Ming said the alternative solution is to bind her soul with my devil soul." Ling Yun's clone answer caused Meng Xianzi to frown, especially since she had always been worried that his devil's soul would take control over him. If he bound his devil soul with Long Yuyi's soul, then the evil seed in her soul would strengthen his devil soul even more, and it would further surpass his other nine souls. "I know your worries, but my other souls are not as weak as you think, and they have become stronger than before, especially my light soul. Honestly, I prefer that way rather than letting her become an emotionless woman, but her life will be bound with my devil's soul forever. If my devil soul dies, then she will die too. As for me, I won't die that easily, especially since I still have nine other souls."
Meng Xianzi nodded in understanding before turning to Long Yuyi. "Are you okay with your life being tied to his devil soul? He's not stupid and wouldn't let his devil soul be exposed in front of so many people, so I don't think it's a problem, but the choice is yours."
"I can't decide right now, master." Long Yuyi replied with a heavy sigh. "I don't mind if my life is tied to his devil soul, but I don't want him to be affected by the evil seed, so I want to think it over carefully before making a decision."
Meng Xianzi exhaled softly. "All right, you can think about it first. Moreover, the life goddess has already used her power to slow down the growth of the evil seed, so you have plenty of time for that."
"Yes, Master."
After that, Meng Xianzi escorted Long Yuyi to another location, and Ling Yun's clone promptly returned to the Yunlong Zhuzhai.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately opened the Yin-Yang Chamber and asked all his wives and families inside to come out. After all, they couldn't do anything else in the mysterious tower, and it would be better if they did something else.
Sometime later, they arrived at a grand and spacious residence, similar to a castle, in the center of the realm. On top of it was a large dragon statue.
In front of the residence, Long Tianhuo was already standing there with several people from the Long Clan, waiting for them. Tang Chen immediately landed his battle-flying artifact in an empty area, and the two giant dragons that escorted them immediately went to a mountain not far from the residence.
The members of the Long Clan did not seem to welcome their arrival, and some of them gave Tang Chen's group hostile looks. After all, dragons were mythical beasts and had high self-esteem, causing them to look down on humans. Even so, none of them gave their comments, especially since Long Tianhuo had already decided to accept their presence in their realm.
"Hahaha!" Long Tianhuo laughed as he approached Tang Chen and hugged him for a brief moment. "I've been waiting for you for several months, Brother Chen. At first, I thought you would bring more people, but it turns out you only brought people from your clan and a few cultivators from that realm."
"Even though the Earth Cloud Realm has been destroyed, there are still so many heretic cultivators out there. Moreover, they are the best in our realm, and if I bring more of them, our realm will be vulnerable." Long Tianhuo nodded in understanding, and Tang Chen immediately introduced the main members of his Tang Clan to him and the members of the Long Clan. "Her name is Chiel, and she has a special identity, so I deliberately brought her here to this realm; only then can she regain her memories faster."
"What is her past identity?" Long Tianhuo asked as he looked at Chiel with a serious gaze, causing her to fear him and hide behind Tang Chen.
Tang Chen immediately told Long Tianhuo. "She is the reincarnation of the first winged race, Valestria. According to Wang Jinlong, she has special abilities, and hers will be useful in dealing with the hidden danger. If she can regain her memories and power, she can help Ling Yun to stop the danger."
"Hmm?" After raising his eyebrows momentarily, Long Tianhuo led Tang Chen into his clan's residence and instructed his clansmen to prepare a resting place for them. "Let them rest in my residence for a while, and you can find another location for your new residence, Brother Chen."
"Yeah." Tang Chen immediately ordered the people from the Star Cloud Realm to follow the Long Clan members, but they did not unload their belongings, especially since he had long since decided that he would take them to live in another area. However, Chiel did not join them, and she followed the two men.
After they arrived inside, Long Tianhuo told Tang Chen about his conversation with Zao Nianjian and Zhizun Buxiu several months ago. "The danger is no ordinary, Brother Chen. Our only hope is Ling Yun, but I'm not sure he can stop Chaos alone and will need our help. Old Zao and I have already started preparing some things to help him, but we're not sure that any of it will be useful, especially since we can't enter the Chaos."
"Hmm?" Both men raised their eyebrows when Chiel's body was enveloped in a bright white aura. The white female figure, none other than Valestria, appeared behind him.
"So this woman was her past life?"
"Yes." Tang Chen nodded to Long Tianhuo. "I first saw her when I went to the Brilliant Realm with Wang Jinlong."
Chiel then spoke to them. "No one can enter the Chaos except the primordial chaos dragon, but I can do something so that you can help his successor to stop the Chaos. However, I can't do anything in my current condition, and you two must help my reincarnation to gain my past abilities first."
"Does that mean you've known the danger for a long time?"
