Chapter 490: Heading to the Territory of the Charm Spirit Clan

"Andiya, it seems the Natural Power within your body has been purified quite a bit!" Lingyun looked at Andiya, who had appeared before him, and spoke with a smile.

"This is all thanks to the help of that little orb from Lord Lingyun; I also never expected the efficacy of that little orb to be so powerful!" Andiya revealed a smile toward Lingyun.

Although she did not know why Lingyun's strength had dropped to its current level, the things he took out from his hands were still as powerful and effective as ever.

"Well, as long as it's useful, that's fine. Besides, I don't know how long I can stay here; the future of the Elf Race still depends on you and Aiweier!" Lingyun waved his hand and said.

"This..." Hearing Lingyun's words, Andiya could not help but fall silent for a moment, after which she did not speak again.

"By the way, after the Elf Ancient Tree ascended to the Eternal Ancient Tree, did those people take any action?" Lingyun asked.

"Action? According to reports from my informants, their interactions seem to have become more frequent, and they seem to be discussing something among themselves," Andiya said. "When the Elf Ancient Tree was ascending, they might have still held a glimmer of luck in their hearts; after all, the ascension of the Elf Ancient Tree has historically been an extremely time-consuming affair. During the period of the Elf Ancient Tree's ascension, the Elf Race would absolutely have had no spare energy to go and cause them trouble, and they could have easily used delaying tactics to drag it out. But now that the Elf Ancient Tree has successfully ascended in a short period, it has shattered their entire plan. I am quite curious to know what choice they will make now."

"Lingyun, you said you are leaving for a period of time?" Just as the two were conversing, Chen Jing and the other girl suddenly ran in.

"That's right, the matter I promised before should be completed now," Lingyun nodded and said.

"The matter you promised before? Could it be that assassin from before?" Chen Jing asked.

"That's right, I previously promised them that I would go to their tribe to resolve the crisis they are facing," Lingyun said.

"An assassin?" Andiya frowned slightly. "I remember that during the Millennium Holy War, the Demon Race had a terrifying tribe; every member of that tribe was proficient in the art of assassination, and they were once the greatest shadow in the hearts of the allied forces. But this tribe was later persuaded by you to surrender, and afterwards, they went into seclusion somewhere on the Continent. I remember that tribe seems to be called the Meiling Tribe. And fifty years ago, a group of assassins proficient in assassination appeared on the Continent; could it be that people from that tribe have reappeared?"

"That's right, it is indeed the Charm Spirit Clan," Lingyun nodded and said.

"I remember the strength of the Charm Spirit Clan is also extremely powerful; how could a crisis arise?" Andiya said with a frown.

"One of my Spirit Swords has appeared in the territory of the Meiling Tribe, and there is Demon Qi on the sword!" Lingyun said.

"Demon Qi? If it is such a thorny thing, it could indeed bring a huge crisis to the Meiling Tribe, especially since they are a branch of the Demon Race; the Demon Qi has an even greater impact on them!" Andiya realized. "In other words, the people who have been secretly collecting large quantities of our Elf Race's products for these past few decades are them?"

"That's right, and according to the Saint Son of their clan, they can only suppress it for a little while longer at most," Lingyun said. "I never expected that the Spirit Sword which suppressed the Lord of the Demon World back then would become a problem now!"

"By the way, Lingyun, there is one thing I must remind you of," Andiya suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?" Lingyun asked.

"Before the Goddess was reincarnated, she once told me that the Array you set up to grind away the Lord of the Demon World was destroyed by someone unknown. The other party might be a powerhouse from the Demon World, intending to resurrect the Lord of the Demon World!" Andiya said.

"The Lord of the Demon World cannot be resurrected; I had already used a secret technique to completely crush his soul into nothingness at that time. Moreover, the person who destroyed the Array could not be from the Demon Race. The Array I set up has the ability to sense the Demon Race; if someone from the Demon Race wanted to destroy the Array, the alarm of the Array would allow people within nearly a thousand miles to know. And as far as I know, that situation did not occur at that time," Lingyun said.

"Then it is the second situation that the Goddess mentioned: someone is attempting to borrow the corpse of the Lord of the Demon World to achieve some goal!" Andiya's expression turned serious all of a sudden. "This situation is even more dangerous than the former."

"Rest assured, I am still here now. Even if the Lord of the Demon World were to truly revive, I could make him disappear again!" Lingyun said. "Even if someone wants to utilize the corpse of the Lord of the Demon World, the Demon Qi alone would be enough to make them suffer. Furthermore, I left a contingency on the corpse of the Lord of the Demon World; if the person who moved the corpse is still alive, then they can only stay in some dark, unseen hole like a rat right now!"

Hearing these words from Lingyun, Andiya could not help but narrow her eyes, silently mourning for that unknown person in her heart. Lingyun's methods were truly not something an ordinary person could withstand.

"By the way, Jingjing, Wanyue, you two should stay in the Elf Royal City for this period of time!" Lingyun said to Chen Jing and the other girl.

"Why?" Chen Jing asked with some confusion.

"I have an agreement with the people of the Charm Spirit Clan not to easily bring others into the territory of the Meiling Tribe," Lingyun explained, holding their hands. "Besides, your strength has skyrocketed during this period, and you happen to need to use actual combat to settle it. The Elf Arena is the best choice for you to hone yourselves. I believe that when I return, both of your strengths will have made rapid progress!"

"Oh, I understand." Su Wanyue, whose hand was being held by Lingyun, suddenly had two red clouds rise on her face, and her speech became somewhat stuttering.

"I, I know, I won't let you down!" Chen Jing lowered her head, her tone also carrying a slight tremor.

Watching this scene, Andiya quietly rose and left, leaving the space to the three of them.

"My Goddess, when will you be able to return? If you don't come back soon, your sweetheart is really going to be stolen away by someone else!" Walking out of the Elf Temple, Andiya looked at the house where Aiweier was and sighed helplessly.

After a while, Lingyun also walked out of the Elf Temple.

"What, have you finished comforting your two little girlfriends so quickly?" Andiya asked with a hint of teasing.

Lingyun smiled and did not answer, only saying with a smile: "During the days I am away, I will have to trouble you to look after them!"

After speaking, Lingyun opened his hand, and cyan light intertwined in his palm, eventually forming a long sword wreathed in cyan light—the Wind Holy Sword.

Grasping the Wind Holy Sword, Lingyun's figure swayed slightly, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the horizon.
