At noon the next day.

Two flying boats slowly landed in Cloudsdale.

A group of monks in the black pressure waited in the central dojo of the inner city, looking forward to it. Seeing that only two flying boats had returned, everyone seemed to have some kind of ominous premonition.

When I saw the scarred monks walking out of the flying boat, when I heard that the other monks who had not come back could never go back.

The howls erupted again.

in the crowd.

Yu Lingchun squeezed out all of a sudden, regardless of the public, and threw herself into Chen Ping's arms.

"I know that my husband is fine, I know." Yu Lingchun was buried in Chen Ping's arms, her eyes moist.

She didn't dare to imagine life without Chen Ping.

Chen Ping let her hold her for a while before rubbing Yu Lingchun's head:

"It's okay. Go back and wait for me first. I also have a few words to say to Yun Daoyou."

"Hmm." Yu Lingchun whispered.

Yu Lingchun is very aware of the current situation and knows that this is an extraordinary moment.

At this moment, Yun Haitang stood in the center, listening to Yun Lingshan's report, his face became more and more pale.

In the breeze, she has a sense of desolation.

After Yun Lingshan and Yun Haitang communicated for a while, Chen Ping stepped forward, added some of what he had seen and heard, and elaborated on the general situation.

"How did the Ancestor die?" There was not a trace of blood on Yun Haitang's face.

Chen Pingdao:

"According to the Daoist friends I met, Ji Wuyan, the leader of the Demon Cultivators, chose to blow himself up when he died. The Cloud City Lord couldn't dodge and was not lightly injured. Then he was besieged and killed by two Demon Cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and there was no escape."

"There are a total of twelve foundations for demon cultivation, and there are four in the later stage of foundation building. We only have a total of six foundations in Cloudsdale, and this is an unequal duel."

Yun Haitang was speechless for a long time.

There was still no expression on the cold face, but there was a sad aura everywhere.

She nodded to indicate that she understood.

Trembling turned away.

……

Because of the heavy losses of the demon this time, the breeze blowing through Cloudsdale was mixed with a sense of sadness.

Although the disciples of the Yun family were in an atmosphere of sadness, they quickly threw themselves into the busyness.

Pacify the scattered cultivators, contact the Lingxiao Sect, issue pensions to the fallen monks, and deal with a series of problems caused by the death of several foundation building monks...

There's so much to do.

Attempt to restore normal operations in Cloudsdale as soon as possible.

On the third day after Chen Ping returned to the city, the corpses of a large number of Cloud City disciples were brought back.

At the same time, Ling Xiao Sect's flying boat also appeared in Cloud City.

Chen Ping also learned more information about this demon battle.

In fact.

Not only Cloud City, but also several other Immortal Cultivation Cities were not much better, and the mortality rate of foundation building had almost reached 50%.

Even the Ling Xiao Sect was like this.

Two of the three Jin Dan died, including the head of the family, who had already died.

The only Jin Dan who was alive was the Great Elder.

He was seriously injured.

This time, Ling Xiao Sect achieved a pyrrhic victory.

The old nest of demon cultivators was basically annihilated.

All three Jindan died.

During the foundation building and qi cultivation period, the monks suffered numerous casualties.

Only a part of the demon cultivators escaped into the Endless Forest after seeing the Jindan Ancestor die.

But.

There is also good news for Chen Ping.

That is, Murong Yunhai is also dead, the decline of the Murong family, and the threat of the Murong family is gone.

After this battle, I'm afraid that no one will pay attention to the matter of a little Murong Wan anymore.

It can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.

Of course.

Not only the Lingxiao Sect, but also several other relatively weak sects in the Qingyun Domain

Where to go.

Dead dead, wounded wounded.

Qingyun Sect, as a remote and small barbaric domain in the Western Wilderness, after this battle, it will not be able to come back to its senses for at least a few decades.

Chen Ping didn't know if this was the result of Ling Xiaozong's several Jin Dan expected but had to be done, or if it was an unexpected ending.

But none of that matters.

The important thing is that the entire Qingyun Domain has fallen.

From that point of view, this probably doesn't bode well. ，

Chen Ping has relatives in his heart.

This is what he does not want to see.

He still has an 11-year contract with Ling Xiao Sect, and he hopes that Ling Xiao Sect can continue to prosper for at least these years, which is a good thing.

'Oh, what's the matter!' ，

'Cultivate, only when you are strong is the king. ，

Chen Ping entered the meditation and operation exercises, he was not too far from the middle stage of foundation building, and he had to hurry up and break through.

After the exercise was carried out, when the mellow aura slowly moistened the meridians of the body, his heart became more calm.

Take a more indifferent look at the changes around you.

'I still have a lot of spirit stones. After the reward of the Demon Killing War is over, my spirit stones will only increase. ，

'I also have a lot of pills. You can also draw talismans to earn money. ，

'As long as I stay on my own and don't run around, the strength of the Ling Xiao Sect has little to do with me. The same is true of the decline of the Qingyun Domain. Eleven years passed quickly, and it was not a big deal. ，

Thinking of this, Chen Ping's heart was unusually calm.

……

"Husband? Sister Yun Lingshan is here." On this day, when Chen Ping was practicing, Yu Lingchun pushed open the stone door of the quiet room.

Chen Ping glanced at her:

"It's coming, it's not the first time."

After a pause, he added:

"She may be in a bad mood, so you should spend more time chatting with her."

Yu Lingchun nodded:

"You know, I've been to Yunfu to visit her a few times. However, this time, Sister Yun Lingshan is here to find you."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment:

"Looking for me?"

After confirming that it was correct, Chen Ping and Yu Lingchun went out to the living room together, and saw Yun Lingshan with a faint sadness on her face.

Seeing Chen Ping come out, Yun Lingshan hurriedly got up and said hello.

Then he said:

"Senior Chen, I'm leaving."

"Gone?" Chen Ping didn't react:

"Where?"

Yun Lingshan's tone was helpless, but also a trace of reluctance, and at the same time a trace of resoluteness.

She looked at Chen Ping:

"Go to the Heavenly Domain."

"Ancestor is dead this time, and my aunt may not be able to lead a huge Yun family to gain a firm foothold in Cloud City. The lord of a city has always had to build the ninth layer of the foundation, and my aunt just entered the seventh layer of the foundation a few years ago."

"If it's a vassal family, it's fine. But the Yun family has been in charge of Cloud City for hundreds of years, and they have offended many people, and once they fall from the position of the city lord, I am afraid that there will be no more peaceful days."

"The Yun family's distant relatives still have a branch in the Tianyan Domain, and although they have had less contact over the years, they are clan relatives after all. My aunt asked me to bring a team of disciples over to see the situation, which can be regarded as a way back for the Yun family."

This is the case with families.

Domino effect.

However, Yun Haitang's worries are not unreasonable, and they can be regarded as far-sighted.

It's just that.

Chen Ping of the Tianyan Domain had a slight understanding that the area of the land boundary was the size of dozens of Qingyun Domains.

It is also the most prosperous realm in the Western Wilderness.

The road is never close.

This kind of thing should be done by the foundation. But the Yun family no longer has a second foundation.

Such a task can only fall on Yun Lingshan's head.

"Well, now that the Ling Xiao Sect is weak, it may not be a good thing to stay here, go to heaven

It's good to be in the Domain." Chen Ping nodded:

"When are you leaving?"

Yun Lingshan said lightly:

"Tomorrow a caravan will leave, and tomorrow it will leave."

She looked at Chen Ping, hesitated, and the corners of her mouth moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Yu Lingchun was reluctant, but this was a major event for the Yun family, and she knew that there was no better way, so she could only pull Yun Lingshan and whisper.

Following.

Chen Ping watched Yun Lingshan leave with a group of Yun family disciples.

"Senior Chen, the grace of saving lives several times, Lingshan remembers it in his heart, and he dare not forget it in this life. It's been a long time, and I don't know when I'll see you again. Senior Chen, take care." Yun Lingshan's eyes were moist.

Chen Ping smiled:

"Go, and look forward to seeing you again, when you are already a great monk of the foundation."

「……」

Alas.

In this cloud city, there is one less acquaintance.

Chen Ping turned around and went home.
