Chapter 960: Helena's Story

Zhou Yu, who was flying through the void, was shocked when the talisman arrived in front of her. As she listened to the news it brought, her expression turned serious, and she immediately emerged from the void to inform Ling Xi of the matter, especially considering her proximity to the Burial Realm.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu entered the void again and used her fastest speed to traverse the dark void, as she was so impatient to arrive at the Sky Cloud Realm as soon as possible, and her killing intent leaked from her body. "Demon from the Netherworld Realm, huh? Since you guys dared to kill my children, I assure you that all of you will pay dearly for their deaths, and you will experience suffering that you have never imagined before."

Meanwhile, Ling Xi was sitting opposite Ling Yun, who had just finished dual-cultivating with Yun Gongzhu and the others, and she informed him of the news from Zhou Yu.

"I already knew that those heretics had taken control of the Netherworld Realm, but I didn't expect that they would summon those demons to help them, and they had even killed two members of the Sunset Valley." Suddenly, Ling Ling contacted Ling Yun and told him the same thing. 'I already know about that matter, and Zhou Yu is on her way back to the Sky Cloud Realm, so you can ask my master to persuade the two women to calm down, especially since those demons are stronger than them, and they will only die in vain if they insist on fighting them.'

[How long will Big Sis Yu get here, Yun'er?]

'She told me that she would arrive in two or three days, but she should be furious now and probably use all her strength to get there sooner.'

[All right, I will talk to Big Sis Xianzi now, especially since I couldn't persuade Big Sis Wei and Big Sis Qing, and I hope she will succeed in persuading them.]

After Ling Ling ended their communication, Ling Yun went to meet Helena and took her away to another area, especially since he didn't want to make the others panic about their realm situation. "What do you know about Zeres, Urlax, Thalex, Tornyx, and Lillia?"

"Huh?" Helena was shocked to hear those five names come out of Ling Yun's mouth, especially the last name, since she had never told him anything about the demons in the Netherworld Realm. "Where did you hear their name, husband?"

Ling Yun released a heavy sigh before telling Helena about Gongsun Yan and Xuan Ming's deaths, but they had already informed Ao Yangyu about the identities of the five demons before they died. Based on their information, the other four demons didn't do anything to the two of them, so she suspected that their murderer was Lillia.

After all, the dispute between humans and demons has been going on for too long to remember, so Ao Yangyu thought about killing the five demons. Moreover, they collaborated with the heretics of the Earth Cloud Realm, which gave them even more reason to kill them.

"Do you know Lillia?" Ling Yun asked after he saw Helena's complicated expression.

"Yes." Helena answered Ling Yun with a weak nod. "Lillia is my eldest sister."

Before taking Helena to sit on a boulder, Ling Yun raised his eyebrows for a moment and asked her to explain why she had escaped from the Netherworld Realm and ended up so far away on Earth. She had never been willing to explain her escape from the Netherworld Realm before, and Ling Xi was also unable to unearth this information.

"I never wanted to talk about that issue because we were both still weak, but things changed after our first meeting, and you are my husband now, so I will explain everything to you." After she said that, Helena pressed her palm against her chest before pulling out a black crystal from it, surprising Ling Yun. "This prevented Big Sis Xi from delving too deeply into my memories, and we usually implanted it in the bodies of selected demons who had direct contact with our lord to prevent such things, preventing people from gaining too much information about our realm."

"Does this mean you are one of the chosen demons?" Ling Yun asked as he took the crystal from Helena's hand and observed it seriously.

"No, you know that I was still too weak when we first met, so I don't have the qualifications for that." Ling Yun nodded in understanding before Helena continued. "Actually, this black crystal belongs to our father, and he was one of the advisors of the old demon lord. However, he died during the war between humans and demons in our realm in the past, and the old demon lord gave it to us as a memento."

"Then?"

Helena sighed heavily and began to tell Ling Yun again. "Long story short, many years ago, the old demon lord suddenly disappeared, and Vadin rose to replace his position as the new demon lord. However, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in our realm and subdued him, and now I am sure that that person's identity is actually Gu Tiancong, assisted by Hundun. Since that day, our realm has become completely chaotic, and many of us have fled from there. Not long after that, he found out about my black hell flames and wanted to obtain them to strengthen himself, so he summoned me to meet him because he had to absorb me to get them. However, I accidentally heard some of his trusted demons talking about that while I was on my way there, so I immediately turned around and told Lillia and the others about the matter."

After hearing that, Ling Yun frowned, and he himself knew very well the power of Helena's black hell flames. Even though they weren't as powerful as his dark flames, they were still very strong and could destroy anything around them. "Does that mean Lillia and the others helped you leave that realm?"

"Yes." Helena nodded at Ling Yun. "Before they sent me away from our realm, Lillia implanted this black crystal in my body to protect me from Vadin and his subordinates, especially since people wouldn't be able to read my deepest memories. However, things didn't go smoothly, as they immediately began hunting me down, a process that continued for an extended period. Even though I was repeatedly injured, I always managed to escape them, but I kept getting pushed to the lower realm, and I was stranded on earth. Since then, I lived in peace because they didn't hunt me there, and I was hiding there until you found me that day."

"Hmm?" Ling Yun pondered for quite a while before asking Helena again. "Since Lillia helped you escape from that realm, she shouldn't have a good relationship with Vadin, right? Then why is she by his side now?"

"I don't know." Helena responded by shaking her head with a heavy sigh. "Perhaps Vadin had done something to Lillia to make her fall under his control, and I think that it was Gu Tianchong and Hundun who helped him to do that to her."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement with that, especially since Gu Tianchong was skilled in Gu insects, and the two spirit women had once told him that he could control other people using one of his insects. "This matter has become complicated now, especially since Lillia has killed Zhou Yu's two adopted children, and she won't be willing to spare him."

"I know." Helena lowered her face while clenching her fists. "Can you try to persuade Big Sis Yu? At least, you can ask her not to rush to kill Lillia and bring her here, so we can get answers about what happened to her. Trust me, she's not an evil demon, and she's actually really nice."

"Currently, Zhou Yu is in the void, and I have no way to contact her." Helena's expression turned sad after she heard that, but Ling Yun then grabbed her shoulders. "Why are you sad like this? I can't contact her, but I can contact Ling'er and the others using the harem connection, remember? I will contact them now and ask them to inform my master about this matter, so she can leave to meet Ao Yangyu and wait for him there."

Helena immediately looked up to Ling Yun and begged him. "Please, husband, contact them now; I really don't want Lillia to die at the hands of Big Sis Yu."

Ling Yun nodded and contacted all of his wives living in Yunlong Zuzhai, asking them to inform Meng Xianzi to find Ao Yangyu as soon as possible. "All right, I've told them, and they'll tell it to her directly, so you don't have to keep being sad like this, okay?"

Helena immediately hugged Ling Yun and gratefully spoke to him. "Thank you, husband. I hope your master doesn't mind meeting Ao Yangyu, or else Big Sis Yu will really kill Lillia."

"Hey, you are my wife, so you don't need to thank me." Ling Yun then lifted Helena to her feet. "How about you accompany me to fight those beasts? That way, you can vent your sorrow toward them, and it might help you a little."

Helena nodded at him. "Let's go. I also still have to prepare myself, so I will beat those beasts."
