Chapter 386 Loot And Rumor
"Hmm? Since Ling\'er is already with us, I think we\'ll return to the Feng Clan first." Ling Yun stopped for a while and thought before he asked. "How about we go to the Shui Clan right now?"
"It can be done, but we better return to the Feng Clan and discuss with Ruxue first." In fact, Ling Xi was confident that with Ling Yun and his women\'s current strength, they could destroy the Shui Clan, but she didn\'t know the consequences if they destroyed the clan, especially since they led so many Lower and Middle Clans.
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, Ling Ling contacted him through the harem connection, and she informed Ling Yun about Lian Bing\'s decision to accept him as a disciple of the Lotus Sect, surprising him. However, she also told him about another piece of news, which was about a rumor that was being spread in public about his status and also his relationship with her master.
While Ling Yun was thinking about Ling Ling\'s information, Feng Xing suddenly handed over several storage rings to him. "These are all the storage rings of the assassins that Xiu\'er and I killed."
"Oh?" Ling Yun received them with a smile, and the other women also handed over several other storage rings that belonged to the assassins they had fought before. He then used his vacuum palm to pick up Shui Yin\'s storage ring that had fallen to the ground after she died.
After that, Ling Yun took out the items in those storage rings, and a large pile of Lower Profound Stones, many bottles of pills, and various types of weapons appeared in front of them.
"Hmm? There are at least six million Lower Spirit Crystals, and five million alone came from Shui Yin\'s storage ring." Ling Yun muttered himself as he sat down on the ground and sorted out the weapons. "Tsk, all these weapons are useless!"
"Hey, they\'re just a bunch of assassins, so of course, the Shui Clan won\'t equip them with Earth-Grade weapons, let alone Heaven-Grade. Even though Earth-Grade weapons are not too expensive, they are still quite costly." Ling Yu\'er explained with a chuckle, seeing Ling Yun\'s disappointed expression.
Ling Yun sighed softly. "Can we sell all these Spirit Grade weapons?"
"That would just be a waste of time." Ling Yu\'er then pointed to a symbol engraved on one of the weapons. "This is the symbol of the Shui Clan\'s assassination unit, so no one will buy these weapons unless you destroy the Shui Clan first."
"However, we can\'t take them lightly, the Shui Clan is backed by the Clear Water Sect, and they are quite strong." Feng Qiong said to her, and the other Feng Clan women nodded in agreement. Because they were more experienced in the Cultivator Realm, they tried to give him the right advice.
"I know what you mean, Qiong\'er." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "But for now, how do we stop the news of Lian Bing and the Lotus Sect from spreading?"
"Hmm? What news do you mean? What happened to them?" Feng Xing asked with a raised eyebrow, especially since ahe knew that Ling Yun had a special relationship with Lian Bing.
Ling Yun sighed and explained the news he had just received from Ling Ling to them, and Ling Yu\'er burst out laughing after hearing that. "Haha! I didn\'t expect Lian Bing to accept you as a disciple of her sect! Aren\'t you happy about that? You are the only male disciple in the sect, so you can flirt with those female disciples easily."
"Tch." Ling Yun\'s mouth twitched upon hearing that, and he continued. "However, Lian Bing and the others received reports from the disciples on a mission that the news had spread to the public, and they were still confused about how it could spread so quickly."
"Hmm?" Ling Yu\'er and the others frowned.
"You guys shouldn\'t be surprised by that." Ling Yun and the others turned to Feng Ling\'er. "Honestly, every sect has spies in other sects; even our Phoenix Sect has spies in all sects. In my opinion, the one who spread the news must be the Shui Clan, and they got that information from their spies in Lotus Sect. After all, the two sects have been enemies for a long time, so they want to use that information to destroy the reputation of Lian Bing and her sect."
They nodded in understanding after listening to Feng Ling\'er\'s explanation. "So, how do we stop it?"
"I have an easy way for it." Ling Xi said as she took out a special spirit crystal with a recording function. She immediately injected her Qi into it, and a video of those women\'s battles with the Shui Clan assassins appeared.
"Wow! This is really good! We can use it to destroy the Shui Clan indirectly, Ling Yun!" Feng Qiong said excitedly.
And Ling Yu\'er continued Feng Qiong\'s words. "If the enemies of the Shui Clan find out that their assassin squad has been wiped out, they will definitely attack them."
"Moreover, they will also feel the wrath of the Feng Clan; I\'m sure Madam Feng will not stand still after seeing them attack us, especially considering Yao\'er\'s situation." Feng Xing then turned to Ling Yu\'er. "Besides, Ling Ming won\'t stand still watching his beloved granddaughter get attacked by them, right?"
Ling Yu\'er snorted, hearing her grandfather\'s name being mentioned. Even though she had severed his ties with the Ling Clan, she was sure no one would know about it, for Ling Ming would keep the news closed.
"Well then, we\'ll spread the video in nearby cities first." Ling Yun decided on it after carefully thinking about it, which was the only option left. After that, he stored the items from the Shui Clan assassins into the item box.
[You obtained 11,000,000 Lower Profound Stones.]
After that, Ling Xi flew away from them and went to spread the news throughout the Cultivator Realm.
On the other hand, Ling Yun immediately took out the Icarus Flying Artifact; they boarded it and left the Illusion Forest for the Feng Clan.

On the top floor of a tea shop, four women were seen congregating, and they seemed to be laughing and joking as they enjoyed their tea.
One of the women finally spoke quite loudly to the other woman. "I didn\'t expect you to be hiding in this place, Wen Qing! Why did you have to run away from Ling Yun? I told you before if you really are in love with him, then you should accept their incestuous relationship."
"That\'s right, Wen Qing! You are an experienced cultivator, so why do you keep dwelling on the norms of ordinary people? Moreover, Ling Yun is an extraordinary man and improving fast." A little golden-haired girl also spoke to her.
Meanwhile, the other woman remained silent and didn\'t say anything, for she didn\'t know Ling Yun very well, so she dared not give any opinion to Wen Qing.
"I know what you mean, Qiu and Lin. As you already know, I am a former disciple of the Lotus Sect, and I am used to spending time in the sect, so I am really not used to that kind of relationship." Wen Qing regretfully sighed, and she continued. "That\'s why I decided to come back here, and I wanted to broaden my horizons, but I\'m still not ready to accept such a relationship. Even if I can accept it, I don\'t know if Yun\'er will accept me again. That night, his eyes were filled with disappointment for me."
"Well, I didn\'t know about that, and there are more and more women by his side now." Lei Lin said with a chuckle.
Long Qiu shook her head. "I think Ling Yun will definitely be willing to accept you again if you sincerely plead with him; he is a dual cultivator, after all."
"Then-" Suddenly, their attention was shifted to a group of people who were talking, and their conversation attracted the curiosity of the four of them.
"Hey! Have you heard the news?"
"Which news?"
"News of the Lotus Sect accepts a male disciple."
The four women raised their eyebrows, but only two looked shocked by the news, especially Wen Qing as a former Lotus Sect disciple. As for Lei Lin and Long Qiu, they were trying hard to hold back their laughter, for they could immediately guess the news.
"That\'s right, I heard that the young man is still 19 years old, and his wife is of mixed breed from the Shui Clan."
"Yes! I heard that too! Even more shocking was that Sect Master Lian Bing was his future wife too."
"If I\'m not mistaken, that young man\'s name is Ling Yun, and he is the little brother of one of the Lotus Sect\'s core disciples."
"You mean Fairy Ling? She is the only core disciple with the surname Ling."
"Doesn\'t that mean that young man is also a member of the Ling Clan? But I never heard that Patriarch Ling has a grandson."
They continued to talk about Ling Yun with envy and jealousy, for he had already broken the history of the Lotus Sect as a female-only sect, and he was the only man ever to be accepted as a Lotus Sect disciple.
"Do you know about that, Lin and Qiu?" Huo Ye asked them suspiciously, especially when she saw them trying hard not to laugh.
