Chapter 544 Tang Clan's Inheritance I
"Hmm?" Ling Yun glanced at Su Fei, Ying Zi, and Liu Qiyue for a moment. "All right, you guys can come home with me."
"Me too-"
Xuanyuan Xiang\'er had not finished speaking, but Xuanyuan Chang\'er had already called out to her from a distance. "Xiang\'er! Big Sis wants to talk to you."
Xuanyuan Xiang\'er instantly froze upon hearing that, she then turned to Ling Yun, but he signaled her to meet Xuanyuan Xue\'er, causing her to sigh helplessly, and she immediately followed Xuanyuan Chang\'er.
"Ling Yun, Yujie and I will come with you." Feng Bing\'er suddenly said.
Ling Xiaofei also nodded to him. "Me and Xiaoyin also want to come with you to see the cave."
After that, Ling Yun asked Tang Zhiyi to send them back to Yunlong Zuzhai, for he didn\'t want those cultivators to know they lived in the heart of the Central Forest.

Xuanyuan Xiang\'er was trembling in fear because Xuanyuan Xue\'er was staring at her so intensely, but she still didn\'t say anything to her. \'Tch! What will this damn woman do to me? Is she going to kill me right now?\'
"Hey, Xiang\'er! Why did you dual cultivate with Ling Yun?" Instead, Xuanyuan Chang\'er asked her angrily, for she had violated the rules of their clan, but her big sis decided to let her go.
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Xiang\'er smiled bitterly. "Isn\'t this because you decided to send me to him?"
"What do you mean by that?" Xuanyuan Chang\'er asked again with a dark face.
Unlike her little sister, Xuanyuan Xue\'er didn\'t seem to care about that, for she already had her own conjectures. "Did Ling Yun give you a slave mark?"
Since Xuanyuan Xiang\'er could not say that to anyone, she answered her question with a mere nod. "Since that day, I have served him several times, and I can\'t leave his side anymore."
"I see." Xuanyuan Xue\'er nodded in understanding, but she didn\'t blame Ling Yun for it, especially since Xuanyuan Xiang\'er had betrayed her clan.
However, Xuanyuan Chang\'er once again asked her. "Then what about Xiaozi?"
"What else can I do?" Xuanyuan Xiang\'er asked her back. "Since I couldn\'t leave Ling Yun\'s side, I certainly can\'t return to our clan, so you can tell him whatever you like."
Xuanyuan Chang\'er frowned upon hearing her words; she then turned to her big sister, awaiting her decision.
"All right, I will tell Xiaozi that you are dead." Xuanyuan Xue\'er decided on that matter without hesitation. "You can go back to them now."
Xuanyuan Xiang\'er didn\'t say anything else and immediately turned to leave, but she regretfully sighed after remembering her husband.
"Are you really going to let her go, Big Sis?" Xuanyuan Chang\'er still looked like she couldn\'t accept his big sister\'s decision.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Xue\'er then explained to her little sister. "Ling Yun\'s position is solid with the Feng and Long Clans on his side, plus Lian Bing and several ancestors are also very close to him. If I do something against Xiang\'er, he definitely won\'t be able to accept it, and it will only cause discord between us. Since I won\'t be able to take on all of them at once, why should I look for trouble that will only harm us?"
Upon hearing that, Xuanyuan Chang\'er couldn\'t help but sigh in her heart, for she was also aware that Ling Yun\'s position was at the top now. "Sigh, I understand, Big Sis."

"Tang Clan? How could there still be a relic from the Tang Clan in this cave?" Feng Bing\'er said as she rubbed the writing on the iron plate, and her expression looked strange.
"Do you know anything about the Tang Clan, Bing\'er?" Ling Xiaofei asked her, especially after she saw her expression.
"En." Feng Bing\'er nodded and explained it to her. "The Tang Clan is much more ancient than the four ancient clans today. Apart from being experts in cultivation, they are also technology experts, but they are also extremely mysterious, and no one knows the true identity of their leader."
Feng Yujie then added. "According to records I\'ve read in the past, this place used to be much bigger than it is now, but this place was once hit by a catastrophe, which brought this place and the outside world together. However, the mysterious Tang Clan leader quickly moved to reorganize this place, which became the current Cultivator Realm, but it has also become much smaller than before. Shortly after, most of the Tang Clan members disappeared from this place, and only a small percentage remained here."
"How come I never knew about all of that?" Shi Xiaoyin asked with a frown; Ling Xiaofei also shook her head in disbelief.
Feng Yujie turned to them. "Since their leader is too mysterious, not many cultivators know about them, and only a few people know about the real Tang Clan."
Hearing their talks, Hua Yue immediately informed him. "Yun! Earlier, a woman came here, and she told me that behind this gate was the creation of her ancestor, but she didn\'t tell me what\'s inside."
"A woman?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that someone could enter Yunlong Zuzhai without activating the defensive formation. "Who is she?"
"Aunt Mingxia\'s Master, Tang Wu."
Ling Xi suddenly said to him. "Hey, Ling Yun. Do you remember what Mingxia said a month and a half ago? You could also absorb Mana, but you have to find something first to be able to do it, and I think that something is beyond this gate."
"Yes, I still remember about that, for I can\'t wait to be able to absorb Mana." Ling Yun replied as he nodded, then tried to find a way to open the iron gate.
"Senior Xi, do you know anything about the Tang Clan? And what does the guardian Tang Wu have to do with them?" Ling Xiaofei asked Ling Xi, for she felt she knew something deeper about them.
Ling Xi shook her head. "I don\'t know much about the Tang Clan, but Tang Wu once told me that she is not a person from this universe."
"Not a person from this universe?" Liang Xiaofei and the women looked at Ling Xi in shock. "What do you mean about that?"
Ling Xi sighed softly. "Honestly, I still can\'t believe Tang Wu\'s story myself, but she told me that the mysterious leader of the Tang Clan was her ancestor, and they came from another universe. But you guys don\'t bother asking me how they came to this universe, for she didn\'t explain anything about it. Besides, she also told me that her ancestor had brought the important members of the clan to a higher realm."
On the other hand, Ling Yun did not appear to be astonished by it, and he said to them. "Back then, I thought cultivators, angels, and demons were fictional stories. However, I didn\'t expect everything to turn out real; even now, I have an angel and a few demons as my wives. Since Tang Wu told Ling Xi such a thing, I believed her words that other universes are real."
They nodded in agreement with that, for to the people in the outside world, cultivators like them didn\'t exist, let alone demons and angels. Although some of those cultivators lived in the outside world, none of them revealed their identities to ordinary humans.
Ling Yun then observed the iron gate again, but he frowned after not finding the keyhole or anything that could opened it, and he asked Hua Yue. "Did Tang Wu tell you how to open this gate?"
Hua Yue niddes as she answered him. "Tang Wu said that only she and the members of the Tang Clan can open this iron gate."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun frowned upon hearing that; he then turned to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi nodded in understanding and disappeared from their presence, but a few moments later, she reappeared before them with an annoyed look. "Tang Wu doesn\'t want to help you to open this gate, so you have to think of another way to open it."
"Tch!" Ling Yun gritted his teeth upon hearing that.
However, Feng Bing\'er suddenly said to him. "Ling Yun, you may be able to contact Lian Bing to come here and ask her to bring one of her core disciples with her."
"Who-" Ling Yun did not finish his words after he was reminded of someone. "I see; Tang Wan must be a member of the Tang Clan."
"Yes." Feng Bing\'er nodded to him.
After that, Ling Yun directly contacted Tang Zhiyi through the Harem Connection, asking her to tell Lian Bing to bring Tang Wan to their residence.
Sometime later, Lian Bing and Tang Wan arrived at Yunlong Zuzhai; Ling Xi immediately picked them up and brought them into the cave.
However, Tang Wan stared at them all dumbfounded, for Lian Bing had not explained anything to her, and she asked. "What happened, Sect Master? What kind of place is this? Why did you bring me here?"
