Chapter 1639 1639: Ling Family Secret Realm

Somewhere in the Sin Forest!

”Honorable Sir, this is the node of the Ling Family Secret Realm,” Ling Hua pointed to a location ahead and said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan planned to return to the God Realm soon, and before that, he naturally intended to visit the Ling Familyʼs secret realm and deliver the complete Sky Wings to the Ling Family.

The Sky Wings Jing Yan was to hand over to the Ling Family had been painstakingly improved by him. The improved Sky Wings were not only much more powerful than before but also easier to cultivate. Originally, the Ling Family Ancestor created the Sky Wings in seven layers, but even the Ling Family Ancestor could not cultivate to the seventh layer. Now, with Jing Yanʼs improvements, reaching the seventh layer was much simpler.

Even after cultivating the Sky Wings to the seventh layer, although the martial artist still couldnʼt comprehend or perceive the Space Law, they could use some of it.

”Hmm!” Jing Yan nodded to Ling Hua.

This time, only Jing Yan, Jing Yun, and Ling Hua were entering the Ling Family Secret Realm.

Ling Hua extended an arm and cast a series of powers. Quickly, a hidden entrance appeared. Of course, even if Ling Hua hadnʼt done so, Jing Yan, upon arriving, would easily spot the entrance. Despite its concealment and the formation being natural, at Jing Yanʼs level, these formations were childʼs play.

With the formation revealed, Jing Yan and the others entered.

Inside the secret realm was another world.

A clear blue sky, verdant trees. There was even a deep blue ocean.

The scenery here was truly beautiful.

No wonder, even though the Ling Family people knew outside martial artists would no longer hunt them, they didnʼt want to leave. Such a secret realm, even Jing Yan was slightly tempted. To live here for a long time was not a bad choice.

Shortly after Jing Yan and the others began flying, they were stopped by a group of armed martial artists.

These people were the guards of the secret realm, also the guards of the Ling Family, and they were made up of Ling Family members.

The captain of the guard obviously recognized Ling Hua.

However, the strength of these guards was relatively low, the strongest captain being only a martial artist of the Dao Spirit Realm.

”Lord Ling Hua, youʼve returned?” The captain greeted with a slight bow upon seeing Ling Hua.

”Yes, just coming back to take a look,” Ling Hua nodded and said.

The captain then turned to look at Jing Yan and Jing Yun, furrowing his brow.

”Lord Ling Hua, why have you brought outsiders into the Ling Family Secret Realm? Have you been away so long that youʼve forgotten the family rules?” the captain said in a low voice.

The Ling Family rules indeed prohibited anyone from the outside world from entering the secret realm, and Ling Family members from bringing in outside martial artists.

Therefore, even though the captain respected Ling Hua, he questioned with a face full of anger.

”They are not outsiders, this is Jing Yun, the clan leader of the external Jing Family, and this is Jing Yunʼs father, Jing Yan. Everyone in our Ling Family knows Lord Jing Yan,” Ling Hua explained.

”Ah?” The captain was slightly taken aback.

Not only Jing Yan, but even Jing Yun, the current Jing Family clan leader, was known to the Ling Family. A clan leader of the strongest family outside was no ordinary character. The Ling Family high-ups also knew that Ling Hua had married Jing Yun.

Knowing the outsiders before them were Jing Yan and Jing Yun, the captain said no more. This was no longer something within his jurisdiction.

”I need to first send a message to the family, so they know as soon as possible that Lord Jing Yan and Lord Jing Yun have entered the secret realm,” the captain paused and said, simultaneously taking out a Communication Crystal Stone.

Jing Yan and Jing Yun were not in a hurry and smiled as they watched him communicate with the Ling Family high-ups.

The news of Jing Yan and Jing Yun entering the secret realm quickly spread among the Ling Family high-ups. The Ling Family high-ups quickly gathered to discuss how they should regard Jing Yan and Jing Yun. These two were no ordinary figures. If treated carelessly, it wouldnʼt be proper. However, outsiders entering the secret realm did indeed not conform to ancestral rules.

...

”Two lords, I have received orders to escort you to the Ling Family,” the guard captain said to Jing Yan and Jing Yun after receiving an order.

”Thank you for the trouble!” Jing Yan smiled and clasped his hands in thanks.

The group flew towards the Ling Family residence.

When referred to as a residence, it actually comprised a large complex of buildings. Inside the secret realm, there were no city walls or other defense units like in outside cities.

On the open ground in front of the building complex, a large group of Ling Family members had already gathered. The Ling Family had flourished in this secret realm for generations, so naturally, the number of younger generations was large.

Among the gathered Ling Family members, the high-ups of the family stood at the front.

Jing Yan looked over from afar and noticed that these Ling Family peopleʼs cultivation levels were relatively low. Even Saint Realm martial artists were scarce within the Ling Family group. Scanning with his divine thought, Jing Yan saw only two Saint Realm martial artists. As for Void Gods, there were none. Of course, Ling Hua was now a martial artist at the Void God Realm.

Jing Yan and the others, along with the Ling Family guards, quickly descended together.

”Honorable Sir, let me introduce them to you!” Ling Hua took a few steps forward and then turned back to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was looking at the Ling Family crowd, and they were similarly looking at him.

Even among these high-ups, none of the Ling Family members had seen Jing Yan in person. Even Jing Yun himself, perhaps only very few Ling Family members who had ventured outside to Donglin City had seen him.

Although Ling Family members generally didnʼt leave the secret realm, they would send some talented younger members out for experience. Ling Hua was one such individual. However, it was rare for those who ventured outside to remain; generally, they would return to the secret realm.

At this moment, Jing Yanʼs eyes fell on a woman standing at the front on the opposite side. This woman in a white dress looked young, but judging by her life aura, she was over ten thousand years old and one of the two Saint Realm martial artists of the Ling Family.

The reason Jing Yan was fixated on this woman was because he had seen her before.

Back when Jing Yan was at the Innate Realm, he encountered this woman in the Sin Forest.

Jing Yan could clearly remember that he had exchanged some Spiritual Grass Materials with this woman back then. Before she left, Jing Yan asked her name, and she told him her surname was Ling.

The womanʼs gaze also fixed on Jing Yan. It was evident that she also recognized him.

Her eyes were filled with deep shock.

Among the Ling Family members present, aside from Ling Hua, she was the only one who had seen Jing Yan in person. However, she never knew that the young martial artist she met in the Sin Forest was the illustrious Jing Yan, who single-handedly changed the outside world.

Now seeing Jing Yan, she was understandably very shocked.

Ling Hua began introducing some important figures in the Ling Family. Jing Yan also heard the womanʼs name, which was Ling Yan.
