Ling Tian cursed a few thousand times in his heart! Worrying about this and scheming against that all day long. Who would have thought that there would be such a mysterious power hidden right under his nose! He actually did not even realize it!
At this moment, Ling Tian suddenly felt a sense of extreme anger in his heart! It was as if he felt that he had been played for a fool. His anger flourished. He could not help but secretly make up his mind that he would definitely teach Ling Three and Ling Six a lesson when he returned. For such a thing to happen, it was a huge oversight in their intelligence work!
With a 'shua' sound, Ling Kong leapt into the room that the black-clothed woman had just entered! After listening for a long time, Ling Tian finally heard a muffled groan of pain coming from one of the rooms. With a cold smile, he silently moved over.
The thick window paper could only faintly reveal a blurry figure inside. Ling Tian furrowed his brows and grabbed the hem of his robes. Using his inner qi, the soft cloth immediately stiffened. Ling Tian used the hem of his robes to gently wipe the window paper. Without a sound, the window paper that had been wiped became thinner. With a faint smile on his face, Ling Tian lightly brushed the window paper again …
After three to four brushes, the window paper was only left with a transparent layer. Looking from this direction, the scene in the room could be clearly seen.
The black-clothed woman's body lay limply on a soft bed in the room. Beside her, there were a few middle-aged women busying themselves, as if they were worried about her injuries. The woman in black said in a weak voice, "You don't have to trouble yourselves. This is an internal injury. Ordinary medicine won't have much effect. Quickly go and invite the three elders over. They are the only ones who can help with my injury."
One of the middle-aged women agreed and went downstairs.
The black-clothed woman seemed to have forcefully pulled herself together and asked, "Have Xiao Wu and the rest returned?"
One of the middle-aged women lowered her head and said, "They haven't returned yet." From where Ling Tian was standing, he could see that the middle-aged woman's face was filled with worry.
"What?" The black-clothed woman was shocked. She actually sat up from the bed, "They haven't returned yet? How could this be? Xiao FengYang and the rest have already been lured out by me. So many of them are using knockout powder to deal with Xiao YanXue. According to the reports, Xiao YanXue's martial arts aren't very high! Why hasn't he returned yet? Could it be that another accident has occurred? "The voice was bewildered and filled with indescribable worry.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. It seemed that three people were walking over. Ling Tian could hear the light footsteps of these three people. They had almost reached the realm of silent footsteps. It was obvious that they were all internal experts. He couldn't help but once again control his breathing, making it even longer and denser.
"Xiyan, how are you? Are your injuries serious? "An old man's voice seemed to be filled with concern. Then, three gray-haired old men rushed into the room.
With this sentence, Ling Tian was able to confirm the identity of this black-robed woman. She was the Tower Master of Smoky Thea Tower, Gu XiYan! He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Thinking back to the Smoky Thea Tower Master, he would never have imagined that it would be her!
"I'm fine, just some internal injuries. I won't die yet." The woman, Gu XiYan, coughed lightly and said, "Uncle, Xiao Wu and the rest haven't returned yet. I'm worried. Why don't you go and receive them? My injuries aren't serious."
"Xiao Wu and the rest haven't returned yet?" The old man sighed in surprise. "What did you guys do tonight? Don't tell me that you guys still carried out the plan that the three of us had already rejected yesterday? "
Gu XiYan's face was filled with shame as she nodded lightly.
"You … you're muddle-headed!" The elder was so angry that he stood up, "The Ling Residence is a place filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The hundred over people from the Xiao Family who came this time are all outstanding individuals. If you act rashly, I'm afraid that you will ruin the plans that we have been working on for so many years! You … sigh, XiYan, you're not young anymore. Why can't you keep your cool!? Let me ask you, even if you really manage to capture the Xiao family's little princess, what can you do to her? Don't think that the Xiao family will negotiate with you because of this! For a mere Xiao YanXue, the Xiao family can still afford to sacrifice her! "
"I … I just can't stand it. The Xiao family is the main culprit behind the demise of our ShangGuan family, but we never had a chance to deal with them. This time, it wasn't easy for the Xiao family to come to Sky Bearing, and even more so for the heavens to be on their side. With such a rare downpour, we just can't negotiate with the Xiao family. However, if we can train Xiao YanXue to become the number one prostitute in our brothel, we can let the Xiao family be forever shamed and never be able to lift their heads up high in the underworld! At the same time, we can also vent the anger in my heart! "
"Nonsense!" The old man seemed to be at the end of his patience. "You can destroy Xiao YanXue, but have you thought about the consequences? It's easy to destroy Xiao YanXue, but we can't bear the consequences! If we do that, our entire ShangGuan family will have to pay the price of being buried with Xiao YanXue! The fireworks of our ShangGuan family will be extinguished because of this! Have you thought about it? Xiao family can sacrifice a Xiao YanXue, but our entire family will be exterminated! Haiz … "
Gu XiYan coughed lightly, and her voice became filled with mockery, "The ShangGuan family has been dragging out an ignoble existence for so many years, and is already living a life worse than death. Seeing the strength of our enemy grow bigger and bigger, and the hope of revenge is getting slimmer and slimmer. What's the point of living in such a situation? As long as we can humiliate the Xiao family, so what if the ShangGuan family has to be buried with us? I've long had enough of these days of hiding! "
The three old men were speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that what Gu XiYan said was true, and couldn't help but feel dejected! Who would have thought that the ShangGuan family, which could shake the world with a stomp of their feet, would be reduced to such a miserable state today?
The old man let out a long sigh, and his sigh was filled with the sorrow and desolation of a hero past his prime. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "I'll go and receive XiWu and the rest. Second brother, third brother, help XiYan treat her injuries, and make sure that XiYan's injuries improve before daybreak! At the very least, she must be able to move as per normal, and not reveal any flaws! "The other two old men replied in unison.
Just as the old man was about to leave, there was a slight commotion outside the door, and a middle-aged woman rushed in.
"Madam, XiWu and the rest are back. The Xiao family's little princess has been captured and brought back! " This was supposed to be exciting news, but for some reason, the middle-aged woman's voice was filled with grief and indignation.
"XiWu and the rest are back? What happened? "Gu XiYan immediately sensed that something was amiss," Let them in quickly. "
Ling Tian, who was outside the window, was also greatly surprised! With Ling Chen at home, how could she have allowed them to capture Xiao YanXue? He could not help but feel his heart tighten. Could it be that Ling Chen was injured? Or could it be that there were extremely strong experts among their people? But based on the cultivation of those three old men, they were at most on par with Ling Chen, and did not have any advantage over her. Furthermore, Ling Chen's martial arts were personally taught by Ling Tian, and even if she was not a Saint, she would definitely not be defeated! Could it be … that there were even stronger experts among their juniors … Thinking of this, he could not help but feel anxious! He could not wait to fly back home.
Messy footsteps sounded, and three burly men walked in, covered in blood. As they walked, the rainwater and blood on their bodies flowed down continuously, and by the time it reached the ground, it had already turned red! The man in the middle was carrying a large cloth bag, and inside it was a delicate human body.
"Big sister!" Seeing Gu XiYan, the three of them spoke at the same time, and even the big men's eyes turned red.
"Why are there only the three of you? Where are the others? " Gu XiYan looked at the three of them covered in wounds, and immediately felt that something was wrong. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Where are they?? En? Say something!! "Towards the end, she sounded like she was screaming.
"Big … sister, the other 17 brothers, I'm afraid … I'm afraid …" The man in the middle said the words' I'm afraid 'twice, but it was as if his throat was suddenly blocked, and he could not say a single word. His pair of fierce eyes gradually filled with tears.
Gu XiYan did not care about the comforting words of the First Elder beside her, and stood up abruptly, her eyes dazed as she muttered, "How could this be? How could this be? "Suddenly, tears rolled down from her eyes.
"What exactly happened?" The First Elder's face was frosty, "If you did not succeed, it could still be explained. But you obviously succeeded, so why did you lose so many people? Did the other party have an extremely strong expert? "
The Great Elder's words were a little hard to understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they understood. If they didn't succeed, then they must have been exposed and discovered. After a fierce battle, they would have suffered heavy casualties. But since they had succeeded, then this matter was obviously not right! To be able to capture someone from such a heavily guarded place, the only possibility was that they did not alert the enemy. Then how could there be casualties? If they had really alerted the enemy, it would be extremely difficult to escape with the hostages. There was clearly something fishy about this matter.
The man called Xiao Wu said, "Originally, things started off smoothly. After Big Sister lured the three old fellows away, we snuck in. That little lass did not have much experience in the world, and was not prepared. It did not take us much effort to confuse her. After we captured her, we immediately planned to leave. But just as we were about to leave the Ling House, a masked woman dressed in black suddenly blocked our way. This woman's martial art skill was extremely high; in just one move, Lao San and Lao Si were already injured by her sword. The brothers' eyes turned red. Our eyes turned red, and we all rushed forward. "
As he said this, he secretly looked at Gu XiYan and the three Elders' faces, and he was somewhat timid. Seeing that the four of them were only listening to him with solemn faces, and did not seem to have any intention of blaming him, he stammered, "But who would have thought that the woman's martial arts were actually above Big Sister's! By the time the brothers realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was already too late! This woman's martial arts were too terrifying, and her swordsmanship was superb. She was able to stop all of us by herself. But although this woman's martial arts were high, she seemed to be a newbie. She did not seem to have the heart to kill anyone, so the brothers were still able to hold on for the time being! "
As soon as he said this, Gu XiYan and the three Elders' faces changed! The Ling family actually had a female expert with such high martial arts?! Did the three Elders have such a cultivation level?!
