The van sped along the road.

Ling Yun looked at the darkened sky in the distance and felt slightly relieved. He judged that it would probably not rain today.

However, Ling Yun knew that this rain would be torrential.

“Fourth Young Master, shall I accompany you tonight?” Cui Lao turned his head from the passenger’s seat and asked.

Cui Lao knew that Ling Yun made so many preparations so that he could save Cao Shanshan tonight.

“Our Ling Family will need protection as well…” Ling Yun said out loud after giving it some thought.

It would be best if Ling Yun could find Cao Shanshan and save her without encountering the enemy. There would definitely be a fierce battle if he were to encounter Chen Jianwei!

For Chen Jianwei, who was dying to raise his rank, Cao Shanshan’s blood was the best treasure. He would never let Ling Yun rescue her easily.

“The battle last night shook Beijing. Everyone must be wondering who’s supporting our Ling Family. I highly doubt that the Chen Family will try to touch us again in such a short time…”

“Moreover, Old Master is already at Xiantian Realm Level Eight, and the Long Family supports our Ling Family. As for the Ye Family, they have always kept a low profile, so they have never touched us. Even if the Chen Family were to really send their people, it wouldn’t be the top three masters…” Cui Lao analyzed.

Ling Yun understood Cui Lao’s meaning very well. As long as it wasn’t the top three masters of the Chen Family, Ling Lie alone would be sufficient to handle the defense of the Ling Family.

“Fourth Young Master, I’m the most familiar with the topography in Beijing. Also, someone should be around to protect Cao Shanshan when there is a battle, right?

“Old Master is also uneasy about this…”

In truth, he was just afraid of Ling Yun facing the danger alone. He was worried that Ling Yun wouldn’t be able to cope without someone by his side.

What was most important to the Ling Family now? Ling Yun, without a doubt!

“Alright, in that case, please come with Pierce after dinner. We’ll save Cao Shanshan tonight!” Ling Yun finally agreed.

Cui Lao sent Ling Yun to the courtyard house and then went back to the Ling Family.

Ling Yun could feel the faint aura of spiritual energy once he entered the courtyard house. It was released from the medicinal herbs that Tang Meng brought with him.

There were more than a dozen bags filled with medicinal herbs stacked in the corner of the courtyard. The young men from Green Dragon guarded them.

“Have you eaten? Where is Tang Meng?”

“Big Brother Yun, we have eaten. All the medicinal herbs have been moved here as well. Master Tang seemed to have some business to attend to. He left after these medicinal herbs were unloaded.”

“What business does he have in Beijing?” Ling Yun questioned.

“I think it’s about a logistics company. He seemed to want to purchase it…” one of them replied.

Ling Yun understood immediately. Tang Meng must have thought that if Ling Yun were to stay in Beijing in the long term, the transportation of goods would become a frequent occurrence. Why not just purchase a logistics company so that it would be convenient to transport goods?

After all, what could be easier than getting your own transportation company to transport your goods?

“You two, find some stones or bricks…”

Ling Yun opened the storage room of the courtyard house and made a simple Spirit Gathering Formation using stones. He then got the young men to move all of the bags into the room to ensure the spiritual energy from the medicinal herbs wouldn’t be lost.

Ling Yun took out a bundle of hundred yuan bills after he locked the storage door. He gave them to the young men. “This is ten thousand yuan. Find a better hotel to stay in and use the rest of the money however you want.”

The young men were stunned. How would they dare to take Ling Yun’s money?

“Big Brother Yun, we can’t take it. You are the big boss of the boss of our boss. Master Tang would kill us if he knew we took your money after doing some things for you!”

Ling Yun made Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng Elders of the Green Dragon Sect. Tie Xiaohu didn’t care about the post, but Tang Meng was thoroughly enjoying it.

He got Abing to be the leader of the Green Dragon Sect and handpicked seven savvy and strong brothers from each of the halls — Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lighting. He got a total of twenty-eight of them to work for him personally, which made things a lot easier for him.

Tang Meng brought a total of five people with him to Beijing this time. They were picked once again from the twenty-eight. Bodyguards and drivers. Tang Meng really didn’t save on his privileges.

Tang Meng, you rascal, you really know how to enjoy life, eh…

Ling Yun was speechless. However, this method was taught to Tang Meng by him so that Tang Meng could focus on the most important things.

“Take it. Don’t worry, I’ll ask Tang Meng to treat you well. You will be rewarded as long as you work hard…”

There was no free lunch in the world, but similarly, no one would work hard for you without incentives.

Ling Yun understood this principle very well. He ordered these two Green Dragon Sect guys to keep the money and got them to leave.

Ling Yun gave Tang Meng a call when they left to hurry him back. He then went into the basement of the courtyard house.

He got through the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation and saw Cao Tianlong sitting in the lotus position at the entrance to the basement.

Cao Tianlong would cultivate when he wasn’t taking care of his family these past two days. He was trying to increase his cultivation base as quickly as he could.

Cao Tianlong got up immediately when he saw Ling Yun.

“How are they?”

Ling Yun knew that the ten members of the Cao Family were in deep slumber with a quick scan of his divine sense.

“They are much better now. My grandpa and father said that they can feel the loyalty in their blood getting weaker…”

“Ling Yun, thank you. This stone is simply too amazing!” Cao Tianlong pointed to the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone clenched in Cao Junxiong’s hand.

“That’s good…” Ling Yun nodded. “Is there enough fresh blood?” he asked.

Cao Tianlong frowned slightly. “They find drinking blood repulsive. They will only drink some at night if their thirst is unbearable, so I believe it will be enough for quite some time.”

Ling Yun inquired about a few more matters and determined that nothing was out of the ordinary. “I’ll go rescue Shanshan tonight,” he told him.

“Really! You’ve found where they are holding my sister?” Cao Tianlong asked agitatedly.

“I haven’t pinpointed the exact location, but I’m almost there. I planted the thousand-mile soul chasing powder on Chen Jianwei. Finding him is a breeze!” Ling Yun replied confidently.

“Do you need my help?”

“No, just take care of your family here. I have already obtained Chen Jianwei’s blood and am experimenting with how to use it. We have to break the blood oath no matter what. It’s too domineering!” Ling Yun smiled.

Ling Yun was aware of its powers now that he had used The Embrace a couple of times.

“Oh, right, I have a few pieces of good news for you!”

Ling Yun spoke about everything that had happened in the Chen Family, about killing their martial artists and ninjas. Cao Tianlong was beside himself with excitement!

“Chen Haizhen has been killed by me. They suffered a huge blow last night!”

“What! You killed Chen Haizhen?” Cao Tianlong exclaimed.

Ling Yun laughed without a care in the world. “Don’t fall into grief and don’t cultivate desperately. You have to do it step by step…” Ling Yun reminded Cao Tianlong.

Ling Yun was worried that Cao Tianlong would go berserk.

“Eat when you have to, and rest when you have to. The medicinal herbs required to make the clarity talismans are here. I’ll make some more in case.”

Ling Yun left in his Land Rover soon after.

He drove along the Fifth Ring Road towards the Chen Family’s villa in the southern suburbs. Ling Yun paused his search for Cao Shanshan here last night in order to save his second uncle.

Ling Yun pretended to be passing by and drove towards their main gate. He found a trace of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder as expected. Ling Yun snickered and accelerated, following that trace in the southeast direction.

Little did he know that he would exit Beijing city! He drove on the Sixth Ring Road all the way towards the north, passing through the Shunyi District. He finally came to the Huairou District towards the northeast of Beijing!

“F*cking Chen Jianwei. Where in the hell have you hidden Shanshan?” Ling Yun muttered under his breath without letting up. He continued to stay on the track of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder. He drove onto the highway towards Chengde City and Miyun.

“The Miyun Reservoir!”

After another half an hour, Ling Yun’s car came to the Miyun Reservoir. He judged that the thousand-mile soul chasing powder was in the north, deep into the forest.

It was already four in the afternoon. The sky darkened significantly, seemingly announcing the impending arrival of a heavy downpour.

The deeper that Ling Yun went, the more difficult driving became. In the end, Ling Yun was left with no choice but to park the car and head into the woods!

The scent of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder got denser as he went deeper into the woods. Obviously, this was where Chen Jianwei was the most active.

“Bloody hell, you actually hid Shanshan in a cave!” Ling Yun cursed as he scanned his surroundings.
