Ling Chen's face turned cold as she rolled her eyes and said, "Why do you only know how to exterminate the whole family! Other than killing people, can't you think of any other ideas? "
Ling Jian snorted and said angrily, "The Nangong family is too daring, to actually deal with us first! That means they are tired of living. Killing one person is also a great enmity, killing a hundred people is also a life and death enmity! Then what is there to pity them for? All of them were killed. Not leaving a single one behind is the right thing to do. "
Ling Jian's words could be said to be deeply experienced. That year, Blood Rose Hall killed his entire family because of wealth, but he was the only one who escaped. But it was him alone, three years later, with his own strength, that bloodbath of Blood Rose Hall's headquarters in one night! That night, Ling Jian alone with his sword, killed hundreds of people, and the ground was covered in blood. That feeling of revenge was something that Ling Jian could not stop thinking about.
It was also that night that truly created a peerless assassin who was destined to live a bloody life! Right now, the First Pavilion's might had shaken the world because of the countless white-bone resentful spirits that had laid the foundation for it!
Killing one is a crime, but killing ten thousand is a hero; killing nine million is a hero among heroes! Ling Jian had never liked poetry, but when Ling Tian recited this poem for the first time, Ling Jian's blood was aroused for the first time in his life because of a poem! As long as it was beneficial to the young master's great cause, what harm was there in killing nine million people?
Ling Jian still remembered that when he came back covered in blood after his revenge, Ling Tian had asked him a question, "Do you know why Blood Rose Hall was destroyed?" At that time, Ling Jian shook his head blankly. He only knew that he killed them, and he killed them to his heart's content, but he did not think about the reason.
At that time, Ling Tian said, "Blood Rose Hall is a gang, it is not wrong! Gangs are supposed to kill and burn. If they do not kill and do evil, how can they be called a gang in Jianghu? Blood Rose Hall's only mistake, or perhaps it was a moment of carelessness. That was cutting the weeds without removing the roots, and letting a seemingly harmless child escape! But you, a little kid, met me, the person who can make you successful! Therefore, the huge Blood Rose Hall was destroyed by this mistake! The sect was destroyed and the people were dead, consigned to eternal damnation!
Ling Jian, you must remember that you must be ruthless to your enemies. Cut the weeds and pull out the roots. Men, women, old, and young, you must treat them all equally. Do not be presumptuous or indulgent. Leave no one alive! One must know that a single spark could start a prairie fire. Since they had decided to oppose each other, then they were enemies. But who was the enemy? The enemy is someone who can destroy us. If we are careless, it will be too late for regrets! There was no mercy to speak of when dealing with the enemy! What righteousness, benevolence, and morality? In the face of hatred, they were all worthless! Never leave any possibility of future troubles for yourself! He would rather be lonely at the top than let his enemy stand in front of him! Do you hope that one day, Blood Flower Hall will have a descendant like you who will seek revenge? Haha … "
Seven years had passed, but Ling Tian's words were still echoing in Ling Jian's ears! Ling Jian would never allow the other party to leave behind a seed of revenge like him. If he could meet the young master, then why couldn't others meet other extraordinary people? The world was so big, who knew how many extraordinary people like the young master were out there? Only by killing them cleanly, cutting off all future troubles, could he protect himself and his loved ones! Once and for all! For a long time, Ling Jian's actions had been influenced by Ling Tian's words. It was already deeply ingrained in him. The word 'ruthless' had already been flaunted by Ling Jian as his own golden signboard!
Ling Tian laughed and said, "This Nangong family, since they have already set their sights on us, of course they will have to bear our revenge. However, with the current situation, we cannot make any big movements. Right now, the undercurrents on the continent are turbulent. Pulling one hair will affect the whole situation. After all, the Nangong family is one of the eight great families. If we rashly exterminate the Nangong family, I'm afraid it will become the fuse of the entire continent's struggle for hegemony. The flames of war will rise everywhere. This consequence needs to be considered. "
Ling Jian's face turned green. He said, "Young master, with our current strength, do we still need to endure? If the world is in chaos, then we can take the opportunity to rise. In this chaotic world, we can establish an eternal hegemony for the young master! "
"Nonsense!" Ling Tian shouted angrily, "Even if the world is in chaos, the bird that sticks out should not be us! If we make a move now, we will alert the enemy and completely expose our strength. Don't you understand hiding?! In this kind of world, taking advantage of the chaos, fishing in troubled waters, is the way of the king! Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, is the way to go! When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, is our guiding principle! Idiot! "
Ling Jian and Ling Chen's faces were filled with black lines!
Ling Tian sighed and looked at Ling Jian. "Ah Jian, I have three questions. Answer me!"
"Young noble, please ask your questions!" Ling Jian bowed respectfully as he spoke. After a few words of reprimand, the tip of this top assassin's nose was already dripping with cold sweat.
"First, with our current strength, is it enough to exterminate the Nangong family?" Ling Tian asked.
"Our strength is strong. With twenty thousand soldiers, every one of them can fight against ten. We also have thirty-six Blood Iron Warriors with strong martial arts. We also have me, Ling Chen, Ling Chi, and other experts from the First Pavilion. Furthermore, young master's martial arts have already reached the pinnacle of perfection. If we want to exterminate the Nangong family, we have at least an eighty percent chance of success. Furthermore, we have the entire Ling family as our backing …" Ling Jian carefully looked at Ling Tian's expression. Seeing that there was something wrong with Ling Tian's expression, he immediately stopped talking.
"You're wrong, very wrong! First, you're blindly confident in your own strength. You only know yourself, but you don't know others. You can ignore your opponents, but you can't underestimate them. Although you're strong, how is the Nangong family weak? As for me, I don't dare to say that I'm number one in the world! The world is big, and there are many strange people and experts. It's far from what you can imagine! The Nangong family is one of the eight great aristocratic families. They have existed for many generations, but when have they been replaced by others? You can imagine how tyrannical their strength is! Based on our strength, even if we can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. To kill a thousand enemies, we'll lose eight hundred of our own men. In the end, it's very likely that both sides will suffer great losses. It doesn't matter whether the Nangong family is destroyed or not. At least, the Nangong family doesn't take us seriously yet! But if we lose more than half of our strength because of a Nangong family, then we'll lose the ability to protect ourselves. This is something that we can't bear, and we can't afford to pay such a huge price!
Secondly, the strength of our military is still unknown to others. This is the only way for us to survive. If people suddenly find out about it, then the day of our destruction will be near.
Thirdly, if we really combine our strength with the Ling family, then such a strong force will be a huge variable in the world. It will definitely attract the attention of the world. And our Ling family will definitely not become a vassal of any other force. In this way, not only will we be hated by all the forces in the country, but all the forces in the continent will also see us as a thorn in their side. They will want to get rid of us as soon as possible! Then, although the Ling family's strength has temporarily increased, we will soon face attacks from all sides. The day of our destruction will come in the blink of an eye! Do you agree? "
Ling Jian was also a smart person. When he heard Ling Tian's words, he was shocked and sweated profusely. He bowed and agreed.
"Again, what do you think about that Yang Family, Yang KongQun?!" Ling Tian asked again.
"Although that Yang Family's strength is huge, it's huge but insignificant. What is there to be afraid of? That old man Yang KongQun is also a weak and useless person. What is there to be afraid of? For so many years, he has been played in the palm of young master's hand without realizing it. He's just an old fool! If young master is willing, I can present his head to young master tonight! "Ling Jian replied proudly. In other words, he didn't care about Yang KongQun at all!
"You're wrong again! Is Yang KongQun an old fool? I think you're more like an old fool! " Ling Tian was angered to the point he laughed, "That old man Yang has great foresight and is a strong opponent. Since ancient times, the imperial family and the officials have always been at odds. When the imperial family is powerful, the officials will be weak and vice versa. The imperial family is still the orthodox family after all. Many of the officials in the past didn't have a good ending. No matter how arrogant they are, justice is still in the hearts of the people. If they aren't careful, they can be reduced to ashes in a single night. "
"While the current emperor isn't a famous monarch, he is an intelligent person. He knows when to advance and retreat and knows what's important. He has also been enduring silently. Before his strength reaches a level where he can suppress both families, he will definitely not act rashly. He is only trying to sow discord between the two families. Not only does he not allow the two families to grow stronger, he also doesn't want the two families to fight each other and shake the foundations of the Sky Bearing Empire. He only hopes that the two families will slowly wear each other down and when the time is right, he will be able to take the Ling and Yang families into his hands! If Yang KongQun had the same temper as my grandfather, he would have fallen into his trap long ago. At that time, the Ling and Yang families would already be in the hands of the imperial family! "
"The reason why we are still in such a balanced situation is because of Yang KongQun! This old man is an intelligent person. He has never been willing to bully the imperial family with his strength and has always played his part. As for our Ling family, no matter how we provoked him, he would always take a step back to maintain the balance of power as long as we don't harm his foundation! Just this level of tolerance is something that I, this young noble, am unable to do. It is because everyone thinks that this old man is weak, but in reality, this old man is extremely intelligent. Facing the instigation of the imperial family and the suppression of the Ling family, he did not panic and used his own strength to balance the power of the imperial family, Yang, and Ling families. Just how outstanding is his ability and scheming! Yang KongQun is truly an unscrupulous person! As such, among the three major powers in the Sky Bearing Empire, the Yang Family is actually the strongest. It's just that the common people are unaware of this fact! In such a situation, Yang KongQun is actually able to face the two families alone! This person is definitely not to be underestimated! If not, we will definitely suffer a great loss in his hands! "
