Chapter 1235: Yin Dragon Clan
When they entered the residence of the hunchback old man, they saw a very different scene compared to the outside because the inside was so bright and warm, and the cold could not penetrate in the slightest. Inside, they saw several adults and children, who were gathering happily.
Those people looked at Ling Yun and the others with strange expressions, but the hunchback old man then led them away to another room.
"Ling Yun." Ling Xi called out as soon as they arrived at the room.
Ling Yun immediately followed the direction pointed by Ling Xi, and he saw a painting of a pale-faced woman with two pinkish-white horns. "Is that a painting of Long Yin?"
"Yes, the woman in the painting is Long Yin." Ling Xi immediately floated in front of the painting and rubbed it.
The hunchback old man looked confused by Ling Xi's expression. "Do you recognize that woman, little girl?"
"Old man, he is much older than you." The hunchback old man turned to Bai Zhongyi in disbelief. "How did you get the Long Yin painting, old man?"
The hunchback old man first sat down on his chair before explaining. "I inherited the painting from my grandfather, and he inherited it from his ancestors."
"What was your ancestor's name?" Ling Xi inquired as she gazed longingly at Long Yin's painting.
The hunchback old man raised an eyebrow for a moment. "We are descendants of the Yin Dragon Clan, and my ancestor is Xue Yinlong."
"Hmm?" Ling Xi looked at the hunchbacked old man directly. "No wonder I feel something familiar from you, especially since you inherited Long Yin's Yin Dragon Bloodline. Your bloodline is barely noticeable, especially since you inherited it from your long-distant ancestor, and you no longer have any of her powers except your resistance to extreme cold. However, despite having known her for a long time, I have never heard of her passing on her bloodline to anyone, nor have I heard the name of your ancestor."
"I have no clear information about my ancestor's relationship with the woman in the painting, and I only heard about their relationship from my grandfather. Moreover, my family has lived on this mountain for generations, and we live here specifically to protect the Yin Dragon corpse on the mountaintop." The hunchback old man suddenly realized something and released his aura to suppress them, causing almost all of them to fall to the floor. "Did you guys climb this mountain to steal her corpse?"
Roar
Bam
The hunchback old man was instantly slammed into the back wall as soon as Ling Yun used his chaos dragon roar. "Cough... cough..."
"Old man, I hate it the most when someone pressures me or those close to me." Ling Yun spoke in a heavy tone as he walked towards the hunchbacked old man, and he transformed into his half-devil dragon form. "Your cultivation is much higher than mine, but your weak dragon bloodline makes you inferior to me."
The hunchback old man looked up at Ling Yun in shock, but a powerful pressure immediately pressed down on him from above, rendering him lying on the ground without being able to move a single finger. 'Shit! Who the hell is this kid? His cultivation is only at the Heavenly God Realm, but he can suppress me to this extent with my cultivation at the Immortal Emperor.'
"As long as the dragon bloodline flows in your body, you must bow to me." Ling Yun directly lifted the hunchback old man, strangled him by the neck, and stared at him with his blood-red eyes. "I would rather not have any problems with you, but I have to teach you a lesson since you tried to pressure me."
Crack
The door to the room opened, and several people rushed in while shouting. "Stop!"
Ling Yun turned to them, enveloped them with his chaos dragon aura, and forced them to kneel on the floor. "If any of you dare make a sound, I will kill you all right away."
Those people were furious listening to Ling Yun's threats, especially since they had lived for so long. No one had ever suppressed them that hard, mainly because of their high cultivation, but they had difficulty freeing themselves from his pressure.
Jian Xian and the others had lived with Ling Yun for almost six years, but they were still frightened by the current Ling Yun, and none of them dared to stop him.
"Hehe." Bai Zhongyi chuckled at their reaction. "Your cultivation is indeed high in the Three Immortal Realms, but unfortunately, the dragon bloodline in your body becomes a huge weakness when you face my master. Not even the Golden Dragon King dares to fight my master, so I advise you not to make a sound, or he will really kill you all."
Huang Hao, who had been away from their group for several days, suddenly appeared behind Ling. She tapped his shoulder and asked him to spare them.
Ling Yun released the hunchback old man and the others from his pressure before sitting down on the chair. "You may be the Yin Dragon Clan and inherit Long Yin's bloodline, but I have already decided to go to the top and take her corpse for my wife. If you dare to stop me, I will kill you and incinerate your souls so that you cannot be reincarnated."
"Who exactly are you?" The hunchback old man asked.
"You are not worthy." Ling Yun looked at them one by one before asking. "Which one of you can lead us through the snowy death forest ahead?"
"I am." A young man immediately volunteered. "I have passed through the snowy death forest too many times, so I am familiar with the entire area of the forest."
"How long will it take us to reach the end of the forest?"
"Three days if there are no obstacles, and a week at most. However, I can't lead you any further, and I'll come back after I've taken you to the exit."
"It's okay. We will rest here tonight, and we will go to the forest early tomorrow morning." Ling Yun turned to the others. "Go and get some rest, so you guys will be ready for tomorrow's journey."
None of them refuted Ling Yun, and they hurriedly went to the living room of the residence to rest. Huang Hao looked at the hunchbacked old man, sent him a message, and left the room.
The hunchback old man immediately spoke to the young man. "Xue Yong, go prepare yourself."
"Yes, Grandfather."
The hunchback old man immediately led the rest of his family members to leave the room, so only Ling Yun, Ling Xi, Ling Ling, and Bai Zhongyi were left there.
Ling Yun then approached Ling Xi in front of Long Yin's painting, pulling her to sit on his shoulders. "I know you miss her, but you need to be patient for a while to see her again."
"Yeah." Ling Xi replied with a nod. "Ling Yun, I know all that's left up there is her soul remnant, but I hope you won't destroy it."
Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "I think I can do something about it, but we have to wait to get there and see her reaction first. If she's still the same, it'll be easier for me to do something."
"I hope she doesn't change after her death."
After that, they rested in that room, but Ling Yun continued to monitor the hunchback old man and his family members, who were chatting in another room.
Since there was no punishment if he did not complete the daily quest, and the reward was only 1000 upper-grade beast cores, Ling Yun decided to ignore it, and his clones worked on the other daily quest.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Xue Yong led Ling Yun and his entourage to leave the village and head to the snowy death forest.
"Are we going to let them go just like this, Father?" A middle-aged man asked the hunchbacked old man. "If they succeed in taking the Yin Dragon corpse, our clan will have no other purpose, especially since we've protected it for generations."
"Do you think we have any other choice?" The hunchback old man asked with a heavy sigh. "That kid is the ancestor of all beasts, and we will never be able to win against him. Moreover, the woman who came last emphasized not to approach him, or we will really die at his hands. For now, our only hope to stop them is in that woman's hands, and he won't be able to suppress her like he suppressed us, especially since she doesn't have any beast bloodline in her body."
The middle-aged man and the others smiled smugly after the hunchbacked old man mentioned the woman. "Father, you should contact her and inform her about the group, particularly the kid. If she can stop them and kill him, it will be beneficial for us."
"Without you having to tell me, I already contacted that woman. We don't need to think about them anymore and leave everything to her." The hunchback old man immediately went back into their residence, and he did some things that no one noticed, including his family. 'Tch! That bastard! If he gets past that woman, I will make his life miserable.'
