Chapter 1880: Shiwang Zhizhu’s Worry
Meanwhile, Shiwang Zhizhu monitored Shijian and the three male immortals from within his subdomain. He didn’t expect Zhe Shouhu to sell him out to her, but he wasn’t too worried about it since no one could enter his subdomain.
At first, Shiwang Zhizhu was puzzled about how Shijian managed to find his hiding place, but he remembered about Chaos. He was certain that Chaos had told her about his hideout, and by the time he realized this, it was too late to avoid her.
Shiwang Zhizhu was confident in facing anyone, but he lacked that same confidence when it came to facing Shijian, who possessed the same element and abilities as Huang Lingzhu. Furthermore, he was just an immortal, and his opponent was the first primordial.
Shiwang Zhizhu regretted leaving Yunlong Zhuzhai; he was sure that he would have been safe from Shijian’s pursuit had he stayed there. Given the large number of Ling Yun’s wives, he was uncomfortable staying at his residence for a long period of time, so he decided to leave.
Shiwang Zhizhu tried to contact the other male immortals, but none of them dared to come out of hiding, especially after learning that Shijian had succeeded in capturing Zhe Shouhu and two others. He contacted the female immortals, but they were too far from his location, and it would take them at least two months to arrive.
With Shijian’s strength and speed, Shiwang Zhizhu was fully aware that she would capture him as soon as he left his subdomain, so he racked his brains to find a way to escape.
Shiwang Zhizhu sighed to himself; he couldn’t find a solution to escape. Since he couldn’t escape, he chose to continue hiding within his subdomain, and he believed Shijian would never succeed in finding him.

Since she couldn’t find Shiwang Zhizhu’s hiding place, Shijian chose to wait for him in that domain. She didn’t believe that he would hide forever, and she was sure that he would come out someday, so she would capture him then.
Shijian took Zhe Shouhu and the two male immortals to a place hidden from the reach of others, where she dual-cultivated with them.
In his hiding place, Shiwang Zhizhu kept monitoring them, and he couldn’t believe that Shijian would dual cultivate with three men at once, making her no different from a cheap prostitute.
Seeing Shijian’s naked body that was completely similar to Huang Lingzhu’s, Shiwang Zhizhu was tempted to join them. However, he immediately suppressed his feelings and sealed all his senses.

In the Yunlong Zhuzhai, Shen Ying and the other female immortals sat opposite Ling Yun’s clone, discussing the situation of Shiwang Zhizhu.
"How long will it take for us to arrive at his domain?" Ling Yun asked.
Shen Ying answered him straight away. "With our current speed, we can get there in about two months, but that might be too late, and Shijian might have already captured him by the time we get there."
"Even if we go there through the void, we won’t be able to get there any faster than that." Ai Qing paused and looked at him. "Unless you’re willing to use your real body, we might be able to get there much faster."
Ling Yun was aware of the problem. His clone only had half his strength, and he couldn’t possibly use his full speed inside the void.
To move freely in such an environment, Ling Yun would need to use his real body, which would allow him to use his full speed. However, he didn’t want to waste time because his lust had not subsided, and it would take several decades to subside.
Ling Yun thought about bringing Zhou Yu into the void core. If she obtained all the old memories of her predecessors, she would become a complete void spirit, and no one could match her speed in the void, including him.
Unfortunately, Ling Yun’s strength wasn’t enough to bring Zhou Yue there to retrieve all the old memories of her predecessors, and he had to wait to evolve into the Primordial Chaos Dragon to take her there.
"Try talking to Huang Lingzhu first," Mai Lingyi said.
Ling Yun just nodded and entered his soul world.
.
.
.
Upon arrival, Ling Yun immediately went to see Huang Lingzhu and discussed the matter with her, but her answer was in line with his expectations. "You don’t need to take care of that matter because Shijian won’t kill them, and you just need to focus on yourself."
"Don’t you care about them?" Ling Yun asked with a frown.
"Of course I care about them." Huang Lingzhu paused and stared at him. "As long as they won’t die, I won’t move to help them. Moreover, Chaos has already said he needs Shijian in the future, but she has to recover her strength first. He won’t allow me to interfere with her affairs, and he will definitely stop me if I act now."
In fact, Ling Yun already knew the truth of Huang Lingzhu’s words, and he had even discussed the matter with Long Hun, but they still had many questions about Chaos’s true goals.
"Ling Yun, I understand your desire to save Shiwang Zhizhu from Shijian, but you must realize that there is nothing you can do about this situation." Huang Lingzhu patted his shoulder. "If you want the situation in this universe to be more under control, you must first defeat Chaos and take his place, and you can do whatever you want at that time. Moreover, the situation of the male immortals is not as bad as you think, and it will bring good changes to the immortal race, so you should ignore them."
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Don’t play dumb with me."
Huang Lingzhu shook her head. "I don’t have any plans for my future, and I will isolate myself after you defeat Chaos."
"Do you really want that?"
"Yes." Huang Lingzhu nodded solemnly. "Since you’re unwilling to impregnate me, and I can’t commit suicide either, I think isolating myself is my best option. Furthermore, I’ve lived so long, and I’m used to everything, so it doesn’t make any difference to me."
"Oh." Ling Yun said nothing further and exited his soul world.
Huang Lingzhu could only shake her head; she had long since realized Ling Yun’s intentions. She didn’t know whether it was his personal desire or due to Long Hun’s influence.

Once he returned to his residence, Ling Yun informed Shen Ying and the others about Huang Lingzhu’s decision, which disappointed them.
Just as he was about to leave for another area, Ling Yun received a voice message from Zhang Bing and the others. He immediately left the area to meet them.
When he arrived, Zhang Bing, Jiang Chen, and Yi Shi were already gathered there, chatting while enjoying wine.
"Yo! This busy guy has arrived."
Ling Yun shook his head, sat in front of them, and drank the wine. "You three are much more relaxed now, huh?"
"Hahaha," Jiang Chen laughed, but his expression was a little embarrassed. "When we were still living in the Sky Cloud Realm, I always thought about catching up with you, but I ultimately realized that I couldn’t compete with you. Look at you, your cultivation was already in the Saint God Realm, and we were still in the Heavenly God Realm."
Ling Yun looked at Jiang Chen, but he couldn’t say anything to comfort him. At their first meeting, his brother’s cultivation was higher than his, but everything changed after they left Earth. After they arrived in the Sky Cloud Realm, the difference in their cultivation became even larger, especially after he got many wives from that realm.
Moreover, Jiang Chen, Zhang Bing, and Yi Shi weren’t truly dual cultivators. They only had two or three wives, and not all of them had high cultivation levels, which couldn’t compare to Ling Yun’s wives.
"Brother-in-law." Ling Yin turned to Yi Shi, who was Yi Shu’s twin brother. "Honestly, we regret our own weakness, and we want to help you in the abyss later. Unfortunately, our cultivation speed is far below yours, and we will fall further and further behind you."
"Alright, you three don’t need to think like that, okay?" Ling Yun shook his head. "Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, and I happen to have many advantages over the three of you. You three are my brothers today, and you will still be my brothers in the future. Moreover, I have many strong cultivators beside me, and they will help me in future battles in the abyss, so you don’t need to feel guilty or regretful."
"But Brother Yun, we—"
"Stop it." Ling Yun waved his hand. "That battle is my responsibility as the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon! Even if I don’t know the three of you, I still have to face that battle. Instead of thinking about that, you guys should focus more on your families. The three of you are fathers now, remember? Even if you have the power to help me, I won’t take you to the abyss."
"Why?" The three of them asked.
"Because that fight is too dangerous." Ling Yun looked at each of them. "Your wives and children need you, so I will never take you guys there."
Zhang Bing looked at him. "What about you, Brother Yun? You have more wives and children than us; don’t you think about them?"
"All my wives will enter the abyss with me." They were shocked to hear that. "However, I will not take my children there."
"What if you fail and die there?"
"If I fail and die, this universe will cease to exist, and new living beings will be born after a few years." Ling Yun raised his right hand and clenched his fist. "However, I will not fail, and I will stop the darkness."
