After they flew for so ti, the five spirits arrived at an area not far from the northern region, but they were hesitant to get closer to the area, especially after their previous conversation, which made so of them doubt Jing Shen's orders.
"So what are we going to do now? Are we going to keep waiting here?"
Acedia pointed north while speaking to them. "You might not be able to sense it, but I can sense that a strong barrier covers the area. Even with my current cultivation, I'm not sure I can break it, let alone all of you who have no cultivation."
"Tch! You're as annoying as Luxuria, you know?" Avaritia said to Acedia in a jealous tone, especially since they were born from human emotions, but five of them were born without spiritual veins. Even though they could live forever without cultivation, he still felt jealous of him, especially since his strength was higher than theirs.
Acedia shrugged in helplessness, knowing Avaritia's thoughts, but he himself actually didn't care much about his cultivation, and he preferred to live a life of leisure while enjoying his sleep, especially since he was the spirit of Sloth.
"What do you think? Should we go there?" Ira questioned Superbia as she pointed north. "Despite our doubts towards Elder Jing Shen, we don't have exact information about their strength or their numbers, and I'm afraid that we will kick the iron plate if we act rashly."
"We-"
"You must listen to him, Spirit of Pride. Otherwise, you guys will never leave this realm, and I will bury you all here."
Hearing the woman's voice, they increased their vigilance as they circled around the place to look for the owner of the voice. "Who are you? Co out."
They took several steps back once the four won appeared in front of them, but their expressions turned to shock after they recognized one of the won. 'How can there be an elf in this realm?'
Lyra shook her head slightly at their reaction, and she then spoke to them. "My queen ordered to wait for you all here, and she asked to stop you, or else you guys will end up the sa as Invidia."
"Queen Nu Wang?" Lyra nodded to Superbia. "Why did she give such an order to you? After all, this is an internal matter of our spirit race, and she has never interfered in other races' affairs before."
"You're not wrong about that." Lyra then explained it to them. "My Queen would never interfere in the affairs of another race if it wasn't necessary, but this matter is no longer an internal matter of your spirit race; your actions will determine the future of this universe, so she ordered to do this."
"What do you an by the future of the universe?" This ti, Ira was the one who asked Lyra.
"You guys have lived for so long, and all of you are even much older than the current Spirit Emperor. However, you are too busy with your personal affairs, so there are many important things that you don't know." The five spirits frowned at Lyra's words, but they couldn't argue with her, especially since it was true that they never cared about other matters. "I can't tell you the details, but I can tell you that Jing Shen used the five of you to make this matter worse, especially since he has defected and sided with those heretics."
Even though they had suspected this before, the five male spirits still seed doubtful about Lyra's words, especially since no one had ever succeeded in proving Jing Shen's betrayal. "Can you give us the proof?"
"I don't hold any evidence, but all the nature race leaders previously gathered at a place to discuss this matter, and Senior Lu Yi also joined them." Hearing the latter's na, the five male spirits' doubts were slightly reduced because they knew her quite well, and she would never leave her forest if there was no critical problem. "You guys certainly won't doubt her, right? Moreover, if Jing Shen was a good person, he wouldn't have sent you here, even though he already knew that there were many strong cultivators here, and these three won could kill you easily."
"Guys, the female elf is indeed right." Acedia said to the others, as he could sense the terrifying aura from ng Xianzhi and the other two. "They are powerful, especially the white-haired woman, and people gave her the nickna two-face fox assassin."
Lyra then told them again. "Besides, several other spirit race leaders like Yao Ya, Yin Shu, Ban Zhuo, and the others are going after Jing Shen right now, and they intend to capture him."
"Are you serious about that?" Superbia asked in disbelief. "I know they are strong, but they will never be able to defeat our Emperor, and he will not possibly hand over Elder Jing Shen to them willingly, especially since he completely trusts him."
Lyra wanted to tell them again, but ng Xianzi stretched out her hand in front of her. "Zhu Ling is indeed strong, but there are still many stronger people besides him, and so of them are on our side. As for the five of you, most of you are not cultivators like us, so you guys don't need to get involved in matters and ignore Jing Shen's orders. All of you must go as far away as possible to hide, or he will ask those heretics to hunt you down, and you will suffer at their hands."
"But where can we hide?" Avaritia asked with a frown. "Elder Jing Shen was able to track our whereabouts thanks to the special authority our Emperor gave him, so there is not a single place that is safe for us in this universe."
"He's right." Acedia nodded before turning to ng Xianzi. "Do you have a safe place for us to hide?"
"I think I have an idea for that." They imdiately turned to Wei Wei, who imdiately provided them with the solution. "You can go to the Holy Land of Swords and hide there. Although Jing Shen can find you there, those heretics will not dare to attack that realm, especially since there are two powerful people there. Both of them hate those people, and they won't hesitate to slaughter them, so you'll all be safe there."
"Catch!" ng Xianzi threw a dal, which Superbia imdiately caught. "Go to that realm to et Jian Xian and Yun Liang, and you can hand over the dal to them. If you tell them everything, I'm sure that they will be willing to protect you all."
Hearing that, Superbia turned to the four, who imdiately nodded at him, and he then said to the three won. "In that case, we will go to that realm now, and I hope you are right."
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that." After that, the five male spirits flew away from the Sky Cloud Realm at full speed, and ng Xianzi turned to the others. "Let's be prepared; those heretics may invade this realm at any ti, and we must slaughter as many of their troops as possible."

While the others were busy with their training, Ling Yun was fully imrsed in absorbing the remaining power from the blood pool, but Tian Yueling, who was sitting at the side, suddenly noticed a change in him. He saw a black aura starting to cover his body and a baleful aura radiating from his body, and he carefully called out to the three female demons. "Hey, wake up, and we have to leave this place right now."
After hearing that, they opened their eyes, but upon sensing Ling Yun's aura, Mao and Layla imdiately frowned, prompting Kate to inquire. "What happened to him? Why is his aura so scary?"
"I don't know, but we should just leave this place right now."
Not only Mao, but Layla and Kate also rushed out of the blood pool to get dressed, and Tian Yueling asked the black tiger. "Aren't you going to go with us?"
The black tiger shook his head at him, and Tian Yueling imdiately led the three won to rush to the surface, especially since the baleful aura radiating from Ling Yun's body beca stronger, suffocating them.
After they left, the black tiger looked at Ling Yun seriously. "Master, the remaining power in this pool is indeed very beneficial for your devil side, but it is filled with hatred, resentnt, and many negative emotions from all the victims. That's why you have to control yourself and not fall into their temptation, or else they will control your mind and heart, and you will beco a true devil because of them."
Gradually, the black aura covering Ling Yun's body continued to thicken and darken, and the baleful aura also beca stronger. Not only that, his devil soul also underwent significant changes after it absorbed quite a lot of the remaining power in the blood pool, becoming more and more like a true devil.
The black tiger sighed heavily after he saw the changes in them, and he thought that Ling Yun would definitely fall under the control of all those negative emotions. "Sigh, I don't know what would happen if he really turned into a true devil, and all the inhabitants of this realm might perish in his hands."
