In Ling Yun's eyes, the three Great Elders of the Devil Sect, the top experts on the stage, and the thousands of people in the Devil Sect were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Everyone's life and death depended on a single thought from him.
If he really decided to go on a killing spree, the entire main altar would immediately turn into a living hell. No one here would be able to escape.
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn't do that. After all, the mastermind behind the attack on the Ling Family, the separation of Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan, as well as the pursuit of Qing Niao, Si Kongtu, had long been captured by him and then killed by Ling Xiao himself.
Sikong Tu and his son had been four, but only Sikong Wuqing had escaped in the end.
Ling Yun naturally wouldn't let Sikong Wuqing go. However, he wouldn't kill anyone here before he met his mother and sorted out the situation.
He knew one thing for sure. Ever since he rescued his father and captured Sikong Tu, no one in the entire Devil Sect had come looking for trouble with him.
Everything else aside.
Everyone knew that Ling Yun had faced all the heroes of the righteous path at the Devil Subjugation Conference. Ye Xingchen had even been there in person, so it was impossible for the Devil Sect not to know about it. However, no one from the Devil Sect had shown up.
On Ling Xiao's birthday, Ling Yun had announced five major events in succession in front of all the top forces in Huaxia, including the Ling Family's ascension to the top, the protection of their allies, the retaking of the family's assets, the righting of his mother's name, and the possession of the demonic blade. At least three of these events were related to the Devil Sect. As long as the Devil Sect had any enmity towards Ling Yun and the Ling Family, they would definitely send people to kill Ling Yun and target the Ling Family after Ling Xiao's birthday.
However, Ling Yun had left home for Nanyang for more than a month, but the Devil Sect hadn't sent anyone to deal with the Ling Family. The Devil Sect and the Ling Family had always been at peace.
The Devil Sect didn't do anything about these two major events. It was as if they didn't exist in this world. However, Ling Yun wasn't a fool. Even though he had his guard up against the Devil Sect and had placed the Divine Ghost Willow in the Ling Family's ancestral home to protect the Ling Family, he could feel the goodwill of the entire Devil Sect towards him.
Now that he had achieved success in his cultivation and was extremely powerful, he had come to bring his birth mother home. After he arrived, just by looking at the strength of these people in the Devil Sect's headquarters, he already knew that everything was as he had guessed. Moreover, it was as Ye Xingchen had said — it wasn't that the Devil Sect didn't have the strength to attack the Ling Family. They hadn't done so simply because they didn't want to.
There is justice in right and wrong.
Good and evil will always be rewarded.
Ling Yun had already felt the goodwill of the Devil Sect. Now that he was here, he would naturally show extreme restraint.
Ling Yun wouldn't let off those who truly deserved to die, but he wouldn't kill those who didn't deserve to be killed.
It was impossible for the other party to kill indiscriminately and view human lives as worthless just because the other party had the word 'demon' attached to it.
Taking ten thousand steps back, his own mother, Yin Qingxuan, and his beloved, Ye Xingchen, were two generations of the Devil Sect's Saintess!
Therefore, after Ling Yun used the threat of death to verify the mentality of the three Great Elders of the Devil Sect, he didn't make things difficult for them anymore. He would see his birth mother first.
"Since the Holy Lord has come to our Glory Sect's headquarters, I will naturally arrange for the Princess to meet the Holy Lord as soon as possible."
Wen Mo said calmly, "However, our Glory Sect's headquarters is, after all, a secret place unknown to the human world. If this formation is withdrawn for too long and the surrounding villagers see this place, I'm afraid there will be some unnecessary trouble …"
As he spoke, Wen Mo turned his head and looked at the few villages not far away from Yin Xu. Everything he wanted to express was self-evident.
Ling Yun had long noticed that the ancient capital below, which was also the Devil Sect's headquarters, was not like the Mausoleum Protecting Formation of Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, which was a huge city manifested by the formation. Instead, it was a real capital built on the ground. It was just that it was concealed by the Space Formation for many years, so ordinary people couldn't see it or enter it.
Moreover, the Devil Sect's headquarters and Yin Xu were not overlapping in the same space. Yin Xu was Yin Xu, and the Devil Sect's headquarters was the Devil Sect's headquarters. The Space Formation was located one kilometer to the north of Yin Xu.
Therefore, he naturally understood what Wen Mo meant. The Space Formation that concealed the Devil Sect's headquarters couldn't be withdrawn for too long. Otherwise, it would be too shocking if it was discovered by mortals.
Therefore, Ling Yun smiled indifferently. "Please lead the way, Elder Wen. We'll go down."
Ling Yun's Divine Will was strong. He had already sensed that there was another extremely terrifying formation outside the north side of the ancient capital. It completely blocked his Divine Will from exploring. He immediately guessed that the legendary forbidden area of the Devil Sect was within that formation.
If there was no accident, his mother, Yin Qingxuan, Ye Xingchen, Qing Luan, Qing Feng, and the others were there at this moment.
"Please!"
Wen Mo immediately made an inviting gesture and led Ling Yun and the other two into the ancient capital. Kong Cui and Yu Gu naturally kept their weapons and flew back to the ground.
"Activate the formation!"
Just as the six of them landed on the ground, Wen Mo and the other two Great Elders waved the flags in their hands at the same time and reactivated the formation. The entire ancient capital concealed itself and disappeared from the world.
Ling Yun noticed that it wasn't just the three Great Elders who took action, be it the removal or activation of the formation. On the huge high platform, the other nine people who held the flags in their hands also coordinated their actions.
"Elder Wen, you have such a spatial formation. Why aren't you willing to stop me and give me a chance to make a move …?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said regretfully.
Of course, Ling Yun was regretful that he didn't get to fight to his heart's content.
Wen Mo smiled when he heard that. "I understand what you mean, Holy Lord. However, we already know that Holy Lord not only has the Blood Transformation Blade, but you are also proficient in various formations. With your current strength, this formation is like a piece of paper to you. Even if you really break it, you still have to spend resources to repair it. It's really too wasteful …"
Kong Cui shook his head and said, "Holy Lord, the power of your punch just now has actually broken some of the smaller formations within the formation. If you do it again, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this city. We won't even have a place to live. How would we dare to let you hit us again …"
Ling Yun: "…"
Now that they were already in, there was no point in talking about this anymore. Hence, he smiled and said, "It seems like Xingchen has told you a lot about me after she returned."
Wen Mo and the other two replied solemnly, "We dare not hide it from you, Holy Lord. Every time the Tian Holy Maiden returns, she always tells you everything she knows."
"So, after I captured Si Kongtu, you gave the order to forbid the people from the Devil Sect from finding trouble with me, right?"
Wen Mo was calm and said with a smile, "Since we have already confirmed that you are the Holy Lord that the Glory Sect has been yearning for for a thousand years, why would there be any reason for our subordinates to find trouble with you?"
After answering Ling Yun's question calmly, Great Elder Wen Mo suddenly said, "Holy Lord, please wait for a moment." Then, he flew into the air and said to the people on the high platform, "The Holy Lord has arrived at the main altar of the Glory Sect. Tonight's matter has nothing to do with all of you. Quickly leave and return to your homes. Without the Holy Lord's orders, no one is allowed to act on their own. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
The Devil Sect experts on the huge high platform replied in unison. Then, they cupped their fists and bowed to Ling Yun and the others from afar. Then, they flew off the high platform and disappeared without a trace.
"Kong Cui, Yu Gu."
After everyone had left, Wen Mo turned to look at the two elders beside him. "Both of you can leave for now. I alone will be enough to entertain the Holy Lord tonight."
Kong Cui nodded. "Alright."
Yu Gu cupped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
Soon, the two of them disappeared.
At this moment, how could Ling Yun not understand that although he had suddenly come tonight, Wen Mo and the others had already made a detailed plan to welcome his arrival.
No matter when he came, how he appeared, or how many people he brought, the Devil Sect would have a way to deal with him. There was only one aim, to ensure that both sides would not fight.
It took two hands to clap.
At this moment, the white-robed Great Elder Wen Mo looked at Ling Xiao and Qing Niao. His expression was extremely complicated, and finally, it turned into a look of deep guilt.
"Back then, the situation of our Holy Sect was unpredictable. The various forces were even more intertwined with each other. Moreover, because we knew some extremely important secrets of Hua Xia, for the great cause of the Holy Sect, as the chief Great Elder of our sect, I had no choice but to make some ruthless decisions that the world could not understand. Because of this, I had seriously hurt the two of you, who were innocent, and also made the two of you feel pain and hatred towards our Holy Sect."
"For the decision that I made back then, I have been feeling guilty for the past 18 years. After so many years, I have no face to face the princess. Tonight, I know very well why the two of you and our Holy Lord have come here together. No matter how you plan to take revenge, I, Wen Mo, am willing to bear all the responsibility."
After saying that, Wen Mo's expression was solemn. He cupped his fists and bowed to the two of them.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao and Qing Niao could not help but look at each other and smiled bitterly. Both of them were kind-hearted people. Since the other party was so honest, they did not know what to do.
Ling Xiao thought for a while and was about to speak.
However, Wen Mo stood up and waved his hand. "For the past 18 years, I, Wen Mo, know how much Mister Ling has suffered. Before you see our princess, Mister Ling, please don't say any words of forgiveness!"
"Because no matter what, I, Wen Mo, was the instigator of breaking up the marriage between the princess and Mister Ling. Otherwise, no matter if it was Si Kongtu, the Long Family, the Ye Family, or the Righteous Path, whoever wanted to jump out and cause trouble, they would not be able to bully our princess at all!"
"Now that the Holy Lord has come to the Holy Sect, Mister Ling and our princess will be reunited in front of us, I, Wen Mo, have already committed a crime. By right, I should die to atone for my sins. However, the Holy Lord has just arrived and there are still many things that I need to settle so that the Holy Lord can smoothly take over the affairs here. Therefore, I cannot die for now."
"Holy Lord, Mister Ling, Lady Green Bird, please rest assured. As long as the Holy Lord passes the final test and takes complete control of the Holy Sect, I will be willing to kill to give an explanation to the Holy Lord, the princess, Mister Ling, Lady Green Bird, and all the people of the Ling Family who died unjustly that year!"
After saying all this in one breath, Wen Mo then said to Ling Yun, "I believe that with the Holy Lord's divine sense, you have already discovered the forbidden area of the Holy Sect. That is where the princess resides. I will bring you there now to reunite with your family."
Whoosh!
Wen Mo took the lead and flew north.
After listening to Wen Mo's words, Ling Yun knew that there were more secrets about what happened 18 years ago from the Devil Sect. Wen Mo also had many things that he could not say. At this moment, he was too lazy to point it out. He only told the two of them to see his mother first.
Ling Xiao and Green Bird naturally nodded.
Therefore, the three of them flew into the sky and followed Wen Mo closely. They flew out of the capital city and arrived at the northern suburbs outside the city.
When they arrived, Ling Yun immediately felt a terrifying spatial fluctuation in front of them.
The forbidden area of the Devil Sect, a formation within a formation!
Ling Yun knew that his mother, Yin Qingxuan, was in the spatial formation in front of him. He was excited and turned to look at Ling Xiao and Green Bird. He realized that the two of them could not control themselves.
Mother and son, husband and wife, sisters.
They had not seen each other for 18 years!
Tonight, they could finally reunite!
At this moment, the Great Elder of the Devil Sect, Wen Mo, had already knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground. His body was trembling. He said with a trembling voice, "Princess, I, Wen Mo, have brought my Holy Lord, Mister Ling, and Lady Green Bird to reunite with you. Please show yourself, Princess!"
