"He is the crown prince, and we can't afford to offend him. What's more, the Mystic Snake Devil Sect came out to protect the Chen Clan. What do you want me to do?
You are alone and don't care about the survival of the Ling Clan, but I have to be responsible for the entire Ling Clan. "
The words that came out of Ling Yuhua's mouth were even plausible.
"No need to explain. In the end, you are just a coward and heartless. I don't want to discuss this. Since we know that Chen Long killed my father, then this matter is simple."
Ling Xiao let out a cold smile.
Chen Long must die!
But when he caught that guy, he had to find out why Chen Long killed his father.
He always felt that there was something wrong.
The main conflict was temporarily shifted.
Ling Xiao was prepared to use the Ling Clan to deal with the Chen Clan. While completing his revenge goal, he could also increase his own cultivation level faster.
After all, resources were the most important thing for a martial artist.
"Alright, Clan Head. I am going to the Martial Arts Hall. If there is anything, you can ask someone to look for me in the small courtyard."
Ling Xiao stood up and suddenly said with a cold expression, "I hope this is the last time something like this happens to Little Fifth. If I see Little Fifth being abused again, I will definitely return it tenfold! I will return it a hundredfold. "
Just as he was about to step out of the room, someone suddenly came to report that the Chen Clan's eldest son, Chen Ran, and second son, Chen Long, had arrived.
Ling Xiao paused for a moment and let out a cold smile.
He really didn't see how Chen Long, the murderer of his father, looked like. Although he didn't know why they were here, he could at least see for himself.
Ling Yuhua didn't seem to have any intention of letting Ling Xiao leave.
Now that everyone was in the same boat and were just making use of each other, it was only right for them to share information.
"My two nephews, may I know why you are here at this time?"
Ling Yuhua asked with a smile after inviting Chen Ran and Chen Long to take a seat.
Chen Ran smiled and said, "Since Grandfather Ling has asked, we won't hide it from you.
I heard that someone from the Ling Clan killed the Mystic Snake Devil Sect's Mystic Snake Envoy in Yuhua Town. Is this true? "
When he spoke, he looked at Ling Xiao and obviously knew who killed the Mystic Snake Envoy.
At that moment, Ling Yuhua and Ling Xiao both thought that someone had leaked the secret, and their expressions turned ugly.
"Grandfather Ling, I'm sure you know what kind of person the Black Snake Envoy is. Even if the Black Snake Sect doesn't pursue the matter, the State of Chen will."
Chen Ran continued, "I heard that the murderer's methods are extremely cruel. Killing people and destroying their bodies is a capital offense."
"Such a thing actually happened?"
Ling Yuhua's acting skills were not bad. He looked at Chen Ran in astonishment and said, "The Mysterious Snake Envoy is highly skilled in martial arts and has a profound cultivation base. Who could kill him and destroy his corpse?"
"Old man, stop pretending. The person who killed the Black Snake Envoy is from your Ling Family!"
Chen Long suddenly shouted, "And this person is in this room! Kid, do you dare to admit it? "
Suddenly, he glared at Ling Xiao and said, "Are you trying to consign Yuhua Town to eternal damnation?"
Ling Xiao smiled indifferently and said, "Outsiders know that the Chen Family and the Ling Family don't get along. I thought it was just gossip. I didn't expect the Chen Family to go to such an extent. Slandering others and spouting nonsense. Do you really think the Ling Family is easy to bully?"
The reason why he was so calm was simple. The other party had no evidence.
There was only one witness, and that was no different from having no evidence.
"Bastard, how dare you deny it. Someone saw you kill the Mystic Snake Envoy with their own eyes. Could it be fake?"
Chen Long's temper was extremely irritable. Everything he said was in a rage.
Especially when Ling Xiao refused to admit to something he thought was obvious. This made him even more furious.
"Alright, tell whoever saw it to come face to face with me. Don't let the Chen Family and the Ling Family become like fire and water because of some random person's lies.
Don't forget that our two families have an engagement! "
Ling Xiao was still very calm.
He determined that that person did not dare to come face to face. As long as that person dared to show up, he was dead for sure.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if that person dared to show up, he also had a thousand, ten thousand ways to make that person change his words.
Hence, witnesses were the most useless in the Mystic World.
Ling Yuhua was originally still worried that Ling Xiao would say the wrong thing because of nervousness. But he did not expect that Ling Xiao this guy just said a few words and put Chen Ran and Chen Long in a dilemma.
Originally, these two people were here to denounce. In the end, they became the chief culprits who ruined the two families' relationship.
Putting on this label, Chen Ran and Chen Long were also somewhat terrified.
After all, even if the two families had a competitive relationship, at the very least, it was still very harmonious on the surface.
If these two people messed around, then it was extremely likely to cause the two families to meet on the battlefield in the end. That would really be a huge sin.
Thinking up to here, Ling Yuhua also released his powerful aura very imposingly and said icily, "Honorable nephews, whatever it is, you have to investigate clearly before making a decision. Don't ruin our two families' many years of friendship because of a few words from a lowly person.
Old Hei, you can send the guests out! "
On this matter, Ling Yuhua definitely had to protect Ling Xiao.
What kind of joke was this? Once this matter was bitten, then the entire Ling Family would suffer, not just Ling Xiao alone.
He was powerful enough, so Chen Ran and Chen Long did not dare to be impudent.
"Hahaha, Old Master Ling is right, you are right! It was our oversight. "
Chen Ran laughed loudly, feeling a little vexed in his heart. When he came, he actually did not consider this matter carefully.
He thought that he had something on the Ling Family and was a little too impulsive.
This was definitely a miscalculation.
But it was fine. After returning, he just had to send a letter to the Eight Immortals County and get the higher-ups to send someone to investigate.
As long as that witness was alive, there was hope to topple the Ling Family.
The Chen Family Head was the Chen Country's Ascendant King. Although he was just a small king, he was still a relative of the imperial family.
Now that the Mysterious Snake Envoy was dead, this place had become ownerless. Then their Chen Family could make use of this opportunity to hold Ascendant Town in their hands.
But before that, they had to topple the Ling Family first.
Sooner or later, only their Chen Family would be left in Ascendant Town. There would no longer be any Ling Family.
"Farewell, Old Master Ling."
Chen Ran's eyes flickered with a sinister color, but his face was full of smiles.
"Hold on."
Ling Xiao suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Long. "Surnamed Chen, did you kill my father, Ling Tie?"
His sudden question stunned everyone. It was really his style to be so direct and straightforward.
"That's right, I killed him. So what? That bastard Ling Tie went crazy after drinking and tried to assassinate me. I killed him on the spot. It's that simple. "
Chen Long looked at Ling Xiao and said indifferently, "I have already explained this matter to the Patriarchs of the two families. The Mysterious Snake Envoy was also present at the time. He also testified.
Hmph, I even paid over ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones for that drunkard. "
