Seeing Ling Luoyi finally calm down, the three little ones in Fengxi Realm also felt relieved.
Indeed, when their mistress lost control, only the Great Demon King could pacify her. No matter how much they called out, their mistress couldn't hear them.
They didn't actually know why Ling Luoyi lost control. They only knew that when she did, they had to stay away from her because she was completely irrational, otherwise, she wouldn't have injured the Great Demon King.
"Mistress, are you feeling better?" Guan Yue looked at Ling Luoyi, still worried, and asked.
It was the first of the three to follow Ling Luoyi, and it had seen her lose control many times. At those times, her combat power was astonishing, and it had been beaten black and blue many times, taking a long time to recover.
Ling Luoyi breathed steadily, the scarlet in her left eye receding slightly, but not completely disappearing.
"I'm fine."
Ling Luoyi's tone was not good, so even Wei Yu, who loved to act spoiled with Ling Luoyi, sat quietly now, not daring to make a fuss.
Ling Luoyi looked over there. The old man was at a disadvantage under the combined efforts of three elders of the same cultivation level, and the nine people beside him were gradually unable to resist and began to get injured.
Ling Luoyi took out a talisman and played with it, then walked over.
The moment Ling Luoyi appeared, all three groups noticed her.
The masked man and the people ambushing in the woods recognized her and hesitated whether to retreat.
At this moment, they all had the same question in their minds: it had only been twenty breaths from when they fired the signal flare to Ling Luoyi's appearance, how could she have arrived so quickly?
Because the masked man stopped fighting, the old man had a chance to catch his breath. Looking at the young woman walking towards him step by step with a blank expression, the old man suddenly burst into tears.
The nine people also watched Ling Luoyi approach, looking at her face in disbelief.
Ling Luoyi also looked at the old man's tear-streaked face, her heart touched.
In the original owner's memories, this old man was kind and dignified, resilient and gentle.
But she didn't understand. She had never interacted with people of this age, so her understanding of people of this age was all based on her imagination. After integrating the original owner's memories, she felt a little afraid of this kind old man.
After all, she was not his biological granddaughter.
So, she didn't know if she should call out that title now.
Ling Luoyi averted her gaze and looked at the masked men watching her vigilantly. Her voice, devoid of emotion, rang out.
"You are truly seeking your own demise."
The talisman in Ling Luoyi's hand floated up, and several bolts of lightning shot out from it, striking the leading masked man before he could react.
The masked man who was struck fell to the ground, emitting a burnt aroma.
The people around looked at her in fear.
"Run!"
The masked men fled in a panic towards the city gate.
Unfortunately, because they didn't want to attract the attention of the city, their ambush point was a bit far away, which was convenient for Ling Luoyi.
Even though they were using all their speed, Ling Luoyi's devil-like voice sounded from behind them.
"None of you will escape."
Following Ling Luoyi's voice, there was a rumbling thunder, which was also the last sound they heard in this world.
Ling Luoyi watched them fall expressionlessly, letting the lightning and fire burn their bodies to ashes.
The firelight was reflected in Ling Luoyi's eyes. As the flames disappeared, the last trace of scarlet in her eyes also vanished.
Ling Luoyi turned to look at the stunned old man and suddenly smiled, saying, "Shall we go home? Grandpa."
At this moment, a hurried voice came from not far away.
"Faster, faster!"
They all heard the voice and looked towards its source.
When the crowd approached, they were all stunned. They recognized the person in the lead.
Ling Qi and the five elders arrived, saw that everything was fine, and were panting heavily.
The two people who looked similar to Ling Qi and appeared even older than him stared blankly and said, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you? Is a ghost chasing you?!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, weren't you the ones who sent the distress signal? I thought something had happened to you."
"Someone ambushed us, but they were all..." The two looked at Ling Luoyi. They had guessed who she was, but they hadn't confirmed it yet.
When Ling Qi heard this, he also looked at Ling Luoyi. Before he could ask, Ling Luoyi said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Alright, let's talk about it when we get home," the old man, who was the head of the Ling family, Ling Huayu, said. No one dared to disobey.
Ling Luoyi suddenly glanced at the place where the ambushing people were in the woods, and the talisman in her hand disappeared.
The Ling family members were all back, and they could start hunting. Consider this as interest.
"Shall we walk back?"
Hearing Ling Luoyi's words, everyone looked at her in confusion. They saw the talisman in her hand glowing, and in the next instant, they felt a blur before their eyes. When they could see clearly, they found themselves back in the courtyard of the Ling family's main hall.
What they didn't know was that right after they disappeared from their original spot, several bolts of lightning descended from the sky.
Ten breaths later, the thunder stopped, leaving only over twenty scorched corpses in the woods.
And a transparent talisman in the air, which had now lost its effect, slowly disappeared.
Ling Luoyi didn't destroy their corpses because she was waiting for their master behind them to discover them.

In the main hall of the Ling Mansion, Ling Huayu sat in the main seat, and everyone else was also seated.
Ling Luoyi felt uncomfortable under their gazes and said, "Grandpa, you just returned today. Please rest well. Uncle and Eldest Brother will tell you some things. I'll be going back now."
Before Ling Huayu could react, Ling Luoyi left.
Looking at Ling Luoyi's somewhat flustered back, Ling Huayu was speechless.
"This girl, am I that scary? Why does she act like she's seen a ghost?"
Hearing Ling Huayu's complaint, Ling Qi said, "Father, Luo'er has only just returned. It's normal for her to be unfamiliar with you."
"Don't I know that?" Ling Huayu's tone was not good towards his own son. When he spoke of Ling Luoyi, his tone softened. "However, this girl has probably had a difficult time these past few years."
"We don't know about that. It's just that Luo'er once said she returned from another continent."
"Another continent?!" Third Master Ling, Ling Xuan, and Fourth Master Ling, Ling Yan, exclaimed in unison.
"You two, keep your voices down!" Ling Huayu slammed the table and said, "If this gets out, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to Luo'er!"
"Father, Luo'er has set up barriers everywhere in the mansion, so there's no need to worry about that."
"Barriers?" Ling Huayu then carefully observed the Ling Mansion. His attention had been entirely on Ling Luoyi just now, so he hadn't noticed any changes in the Ling family.
Ling Huayu looked around, becoming more and more shocked.
Not only were there barriers in the mansion, but there were also many formations!
"Father, what's wrong?" Ling Xuan and Ling Yan asked worriedly, seeing Ling Huayu's changing expression.
They had also noticed something unusual about the Ling Mansion. The spiritual energy concentration inside was more than four times that of the outside, and there were faint spiritual energy fluctuations everywhere.
"It's nothing," Ling Huayu waved his hand.
"Father, it's almost lunchtime. You must be tired from traveling. Please go back and rest after lunch. I have something to tell you after you've rested."
"Second Brother, what can't be said now?"
"Fourth Brother, aren't you tired from traveling all this time?"
"A little."
Ling Yan shifted his body. After receiving the message from Fifth Brother, they hadn't rested at all and had rushed to travel after packing. They had had very little rest for nearly a month. After arriving outside the city, they were ambushed again and had a fight, so they were a bit tired.
"Then let's go eat first, and after eating, go back and rest."
Ling Huayu was also a bit tired, so he said, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, let's go eat first and then get some good rest. Second Brother, you can tell us this afternoon."
"Yes, Father."
