Chapter 549 - 295: Ling Qiyue: Husband, Just How Much Debt Have You Accumulated?

The return journey was naturally much faster than the trip there. With Ling Changqing occasionally using the Bian Wujian Gate for ultra-long-distance teleportation, the Tianzhou Skyboat approached the edge of the Qingyao Continent in less than half the time it had taken to leave.

At this distance, the Communication Jade Talismans on both Ling Changqing and Meng Feiyu began to react.

Ling Changqing took out his Communication Jade Talisman and communicated with Qin Mengxuan and Liu Ying Ziyi. He soon learned of the major events that had transpired on the Qingyao Continent while he was away.

The war between the Saint Yu Immortal Dynasty and the Mu and Cui Families, as well as the Taiqing Divine Dynasty and the Beichen Family’s schemes for Yuzhou, all had to be put on hold for the time being.

On the Qingyao Continent, the attention of every major power had now shifted toward Shunzhou and the Primordial Demon Palace.

Certain Evil Cultivator and Demon Cultivator factions, particularly those who had previously been on good terms with the Primordial Demon Palace, were now planning to join them.

The remaining major powers had, for the most part, taken a stand against the Primordial Demon Palace, leaving almost no neutral factions.

The reason was simple: this was not an internal war within the Human Race’s Cultivation Realm, but a life-or-death struggle between Human Race Cultivators and the Outer Heaven Exotic clan. Peaceful coexistence between the two sides was virtually impossible.

If the Human Race Cultivators were defeated, the Qingyao Continent would become the territory of the Outer Heaven Exotic clan. All cultivators and mortals would either be wiped out or forced to flee to other continents.

And if the Outer Heaven Exotic clan were defeated, they would inevitably be driven back to the other side of the portal, losing all hope of ever laying a hand on this realm again.

"Lu Hua Palace, the Dragon Race, the Liu Ying Clan, as well as Xianyin Pavilion and the Xingyun sun Commerce Association... I’m afraid none of them will be able to stay out of it this time," Ling Changqing said, his brow furrowed. ’Forget the major powers. Even a force on the Ling Family’s level probably can’t remain uninvolved.’

"Tell me about it."

Bai Qingyi sighed, unable to hide the worry in her beautiful eyes. "And if the war drags on, I worry that the Golden Dragon Race from the Outer Heaven will get involved too!"

Yu Ruoshuang pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "A full-scale war on the Qingyao Continent... It hasn’t happened in so many years. To think that now... Could the legendary apocalyptic calamity be arriving early because of this?"

According to her previous Celestial Secret Calculation, the first signs of that great calamity weren’t supposed to appear for nearly another thousand years.

But now, if those utterly vicious members of the Outer Heaven Exotic clan were to invade this realm in force, the situation would inevitably spiral out of control and develop in an unpredictable direction.

"Don’t worry too much,"

Ling Changqing said pensively. "I don’t think those creatures will succeed so easily. The foundations of the Qingyao Continent are surely far deeper than we previously believed. Let’s just wait and see!"

"Mm, that makes sense!"

Meng Feiyu’s expression relaxed. ’In any case, with their husband around, they really had nothing to worry about.’

「More than ten days later.」

The Tianzhou Skyboat finally returned to the coastal waters of Yuzhou and the family’s headquarters on Linsha Continent.

Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiu Yao, Ling Yulu, Ling Bingyun, and Ling Yuzhu all dropped whatever they were doing, dressed in their finest clothes, and came out as a group to welcome him.

After they exchanged heartfelt greetings and he briefly recounted his experiences in the Hongmeng Divine Hall, Ling Qiyue eagerly pulled Ling Changqing back to her Women’s Embroidery Tower.

The lovely faces of the Dao Companions who had stayed behind were all blushing red, their eyes shimmering as if brimming with water. Their intentions were self-evident.

Meng Feiyu chuckled inwardly. She understood how the other women felt, so she didn’t say anything to interfere.

Inside the lavish inner chamber of the boudoir, splendid silks and brocades filled the view as red candles burned high.

Ling Changqing sat on the Beautiful Jade Embroidery Couch, watching Ling Qiyue gracefully approach. She had already changed, her magnificent dress replaced by a single, thin layer of transparent gauze that left nothing of her voluptuous, enchanting, and dazzlingly fair body to the imagination.

A glance at the other women revealed that each was dressed more audaciously than the last. Some wore nothing more than a few thin straps, concealing absolutely nothing.

"This time, Husband, you must stay home and spend some quality time with us!"

Ling Qiyue wrapped her fair arms around Ling Changqing’s shoulders, her expression a little resentful. "Just think about it, Husband," she pouted. "Look how much you owe us!"
