Chapter 1005: True Faces Inside the Leng Clan hall, Leng Hua and Leng Kuan prostrated themselves on the floor with their foreheads pressed against it. Their faces were pale, especially after Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s soul mark inside their souls tortured them. Previously, Leng Hua and Leng Kuan released their killing intent, and they were about to attack Zhang Xiaolong [3], but they did not realize that he had already planted his soul mark into their souls, which immediately reacted once they had malicious intentions towards him, giving them excruciating torture. ’Damn it! This bastard did all that to us last night!’ Leng Hua and Leng Kuan only dared to express their thoughts silently. Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was sitting at the head seat, casually smiled at their expressions. Meanwhile, Jia Yuyan, Duanmu Luolan, and Shangguan Yan sat side by side on the side seats. "From now on, you two are my slaves, and you have already experienced the consequences if you choose to oppose me. Therefore, you guys should forget your intentions and obey me, or I will make you suffer even more than this. If you can please me, I might change my mind and let you two go one day, so the choice is yours." ’Such a big liar!’ Jia Yuyan, Duanmu Luolan, and Shangguan Yan screamed in their hearts, as they were sure that Zhang Xiaolong [3] would never let go of Leng Hua and Leng Kuan. Leng Hua was furious in his heart listening to Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he didn’t want to feel that painful pain again. "What do you want from us, Master?" "Hahaha!" Jia Yuyan, Duanmu Luolan, and Shangguan Yan couldn’t hold back their laughter when they heard the proud Leng Hua address Zhang Xiaolong [3] as his master, causing his face to darken. "I want various cultivation resources, including Yin and Yang Qi." Not only were Leng Hua and Leng Kuan confused by Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s answer, but the three women were also confused by it. "I have many people by my side, both men and women. I need them to help me, but I can’t give them my Yang Qi or my wife’s Yin Qi, so I need other people’s Yin and Yang Qi for them. Your Leng Clan has many powerful cultivators, so I need you to order them to collect their Yang and Yin Qi for my people." "Consider it done." Leng Hua then asked him again. "What kind of cultivation resources do you need, Master?" "Everything." The three women immediately thought that Zhang Xiaolong [3] wanted to milk Leng Hua and the Leng Clan’s resources. "Additionally, appoint Leng Xueyan as your clan leader to replace your son, and she will be the one who will communicate with me in the future." ’Tch! What a treacherous daughter! She actually had a relationship with him and betrayed me!’ Leng Hua felt a deep anger in his heart. "Hey! Leng Xueyan didn’t have any relationship with me before you sent her to the Grand Royal Realm, so your suspicions of her are completely unfounded." Leng Hua froze after Zhang Xiaolong [3] mentioned it, making her realize that he could read her mind. "By the way, I want to thank you for sending Leng Xiulan to pursue her in that realm, as it resulted in me obtaining a pretty strong prisoner." "Did you really not have any relationship with Leng Xueyan before that?" Shangguan Yan curiously asked. Zhang Xiaolong [3] explained it to them straight away. "I met Leng Xueyan once in the Phoenix Realm, and I’ve done something to her, which made her think about me all the time. Therefore, she reacted like that when she first saw me arrive in this realm, and this foolish old man became paranoid about our nonexistent relationship." Even though he had heard that, Leng Hua still couldn’t believe that Leng Xueyan had no relationship with Zhang Xiaolong [3] before that day, and he was sure that it was her daughter who helped him to breach their clan’s barrier. "How did you make Leng Xueyan keep thinking about you?" Zhang Xiaolong briefly glanced at Shangguan Yan before shaking his head in response to Duanmu Luolan. "Cheapskate!" Shangguan Yan raised her eyebrows, and a guess emerged in her mind. Even so, she was doubtful about her guess, especially since she didn’t have much information about the abilities of a lust demon. ’Did he really use the dream technique on Leng Xueyan? Does that mean the one I met in the dream is the real one? Sigh! I will ask him this the next time he comes to my dreams.’ *Tap... Tap...* Several people suddenly came and walked into the main hall, and their arrival made Leng Hua feel humiliated. ’Fuck! Why did the three of them come here?’ "Hahaha!" Shi Yan laughed, seeing the two old men prostrate themselves like that. "Hey, Old Qing! I never dreamed that I would see this old man prostrate himself like this, let alone him prostrating himself in front of a man who is much younger than his great-grandchildren." Qing Huang nodded in agreement with him. "This old man has always been arrogant and believed he was the best. He even considered taking over our clans and the other clans, but he had to face the consequences of his greed after kicking an iron plate today." Unlike them, Tian Jingxuan directly asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "What are your plans for them and their clan?" "Do you mind if I take over this clan?" Tian Jingxuan and the other two old men were momentarily taken aback by Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s response. "It’s true that I didn’t do it myself, and I was able to subdue this clan because of the help of others. However, you guys wouldn’t be able to do anything to this clan without my people, so I want to take over the clan and all of their possessions. If you guys object to my wishes, I will withdraw my people from this realm, and you guys can face the Cao Clan and Qi Lai yourselves." Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s threat caused the faces of Tian Jingxuan and the other two to darken, but Jia Yuyan hurriedly spoke to them. "You guys always think Leng Hua is greedy, but you guys will be no different from him if you insist on taking this clan from him. He and his people subdued this clan, so it’s already his. Moreover, we don’t have the strength to face Qi Lai, and this realm will fall into the hands of the Cao Clan if this kid takes his people away. So, you should consider everything broadly, or the impact will be devastating for all residents of this realm." "All right." Tian Jingxuan immediately agreed. "The Leng Clan will be yours from now on, so please don’t take your people away from this realm." "You don’t need to worry about that." Shi Yan and Qing Huang were furious with Zhang Xiaolong [3], but they said nothing and followed Tian Jingxuan to leave the Leng Clan. "Do you now understand why I don’t want to have too close a relationship with them?" Jia Yuyan released a soft sigh and nodded in resignation. "I’ve already apologized to you, so please stop bringing up that matter." "I’ve always been selective in choosing people, especially since I have the ability to read the dark side of other people’s souls. They seem good on the outside, but their souls are too dark, and they harbor many ambitions in their hearts." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then got off his chair, ordered Leng Hua and Leng Kua to immediately carry out their duties, and afterward led the three women away from the Leng Clan. "You two better be careful of them, especially Shi Yan and Qing Huang." "Hmm?" Duanmuo Luolan and Shangguan Yan exchanged confused glances. "What do you mean by that? Are they going to attack us?" "I’m not a fortune teller, and I can’t predict their next plans. Please listen to my warnings and be careful of them, and you can contact me if anything happens." Duanmuo Luolan and Shangguan Yan nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately brought Jia Yuyan back to the eastern forest. "Do you think they will really do something to us?" Unlike Duanmu Luolan, Shangguan Yan seriously considered Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s words. "Regardless of whether they will do something to us or not, we had better listen to him and be wary of them, or we will be the ones to suffer." "You’re right." Duanmu Luolan nodded in agreement. "Let’s go back; it’s almost midnight now." "Let’s go." . . . Three old men gathered in another area, and their faces were filled with anger. "Are we really going to hand over the Leng Clan to that kid, Jingxuan?" "Do you think we have any other choice?" Tian Jingxuan gazed in another direction. "That kid has many powerful backers behind him, and some of them clearly came from the Paradise Realm. If we become his enemy now, I’m sure those people will make a move against us. Moreover, we still need them to stop Qi Lai, so we must restrain ourselves. Once all the trouble is resolved, we can devise another plan to deal with him." Qing Huang immediately put forward his idea, but he conveyed it through voice transmission. ’What if we use Duanmu Luolan and Shangguan Yan to help us? They are obviously close to that kid, but they won’t help us just like that, so we have to do something about them first. This way, we don’t have to make a move on him ourselves, and they will bring him to us.’ ’What’s your idea?’ Qing Huang told his two friends about his idea, surprising both men. ’I think we can do that, but you should send someone else to meet that person. That kid is overly cautious, so I’m sure he’s already asked his people to keep an eye on us, and he’ll be suspicious if you go to meet that person yourself.’ Qing Huang nodded to Tian Jingxuan, and the three of them hurriedly left the place. After he arrived at the Qing Clan, Qing Huang immediately called someone and ordered him to meet the person he had mentioned to his two friends earlier. ’I hope this plan will work, or that kid will be even more impudent towards us, especially if his people manage to stop the Cao Clan and Qi Lai.’ . . . Zhang Xiaolong [3] was already lying on Jia Yuyan’s bed, but he didn’t do anything with her, especially since the female fairy fell asleep as soon as they arrived there. Zhang Xiaolong [3] remembered the glance that Shangguan Yan had given him when they were in the Leng Clan earlier, and he immediately activated his dream ability to meet her. When he arrived at the dream, Zhang Xiaolong [3] saw Shangguan Yan waiting for him with a suspicious look. "Hey, tell me the truth, are you a real person?" "Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] chose to admit the truth, which caused Shangguan Yan to appear angry. He immediately approached her and held her hand. "I’m sorry I lied to you, but I didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable because of my approach, so I purposely met you here." Shangguan Yan pulled her hand back and spoke. "You should have told me from the start, did you know that? Is this place really my dream or the effect of your abilities?" "This place is your dream." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then told her about his dream abilities. "I can manipulate other people’s dreams, but I never use it on those who are not my enemies, and I only use it on my prisoners specifically to milk their Yin Qi." "Your prisoners?" "Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "I have fifteen prisoners now, and I put them in a special place. If it weren’t for them, my cultivation would not have reached this stage now." Shangguan Yan nodded in response. "Honestly, I am disappointed that you lied to me, but I always feel comfortable being with you in this place. For the past few days, I have been able to be myself, and you have always given me solutions to all my problems." "Are you willing to forgive me?" "Please tell me more about your true self, but I don’t want to hear any more lies, and I will decide whether to forgive you or not after that." "All right." - To Be Continued -
