"There's no need to be anxious." XiMen WuYi chuckled, "ChongTian, you have a military position and it isn't convenient for you to take action personally. This old man also has to stay in the family. Mmm … how about this, First Elder XiMen Sheng will lead twenty experts to search the north. Second Elder XiMen Kuang will lead twenty men to search the east. Sa'er, you will lead men to search the west. Your Third Uncle's tent is not far from the west gate and you can contact your Third Uncle at any time. Do not act rashly."
The four of them bowed in unison, "We will obey Family Head's orders!"
XiMen WuYi's face sank as his gaze swept past the three of them, "The moment you discover Ling Tian, kill him at all costs. Don't kill him, just delay for time! Even if we have to sacrifice all of our men, we must ensure that Ling Tian dies in the hands of the Martial Order Medallion owner! "
While the XiMen Family was secretly plotting and making arrangements, the other big families who had also received this shocking news were also nervously plotting and planning.
After all, without Ling Tian, the Ling family would be like a piece of fat meat without any defenses. Especially now that they had confirmed that the rumors of Ling Tian being a direct disciple of Beyond Heavens had been completely destroyed!
A while ago, without any warning, the battle between the Northern Wei, Sky Bearing, and Western Han broke out. While the battle was extremely intense, the process was extremely short. It could be said that it came in a hurry and ended even faster. It only lasted for a few days and before the various Great Families could react, the battle had already come to an end.
However, in just a few days, more than a hundred thousand people had died and close to two hundred thousand soldiers had been taken captive, announcing the complete decline of the two Great Empires! While this battle lasted for a short period of time, it played an extremely important role in the overall situation of the continent!
The Northern Wei had already declined and the entire empire, with a 400,000 strong army against Ling Xiao's 70,000 troops, was defeated miserably. Furthermore, the Western Han took the opportunity to attack them while they were down and the Northern Wei was completely unable to recover from this setback! Regardless of whether or not one had a discerning eye, one could tell with a single glance that the Northern Wei had already fallen to the point where they could be bullied and humiliated without any ability to retaliate!
As for the other Great Empire, the Imperial Family of Sky Bearing, they should have been the ones benefiting from this battle. However, after Long Xiang's plan to eradicate the Ling family to fall, the Ling Imperial Family to retaliate. The Imperial Imperial Family could only be said to exist in name only! While the Ling Family was still using the name of Sky Bearing, with Long Xiang's posthumous son taking over the Sky Bearing Empire, everyone was clear that this was only a temporary measure. The Sky Bearing Empire changing its surname was already set in stone! It was only a matter of time before it happened.
While the two Great Empires were in decline, the one who benefited the most was the target of the three Great Empires, the Ling family. The world was truly unpredictable and unpredictable!
However, there was one point that everyone agreed on. What shocked the various Great Families was not the rise of the Ling family, but the shocking performance of Ling Tian in that battle! Rushing over a thousand miles to reinforce the enemy, charging into the enemy camp with only five men, and slaughtering his way in and out of the 400,000 strong army! Furthermore, with less than 50,000 men, he was able to defeat the 400,000 strong army of the Northern Wei and capture close to 200,000 of them! This battle undoubtedly created an invincible killing god on the battlefield, Ling Tian!
If it was said that Ling Tian only made a name for himself by wiping out the XiMen Family in Sky Bearing, then after this battle, the name 'Ling Tian' shook the entire continent! He became the person that all the Great Families and Great Families had to be wary of! Such a peerless expert, a genius commander, he was the dream of all the Great Empires! However, if he were to become their enemy, he would be their first choice to get rid of! In the hearts of everyone, for such a peerless character to be nurtured, what other faction could there be other than the legendary Beyond Heavens? Thus, it was almost certain that Ling Tian was from Beyond Heavens!
Almost everyone was certain that Ling Tian from the Ling family would definitely make use of this opportunity to rise up, and his reputation would definitely shake the world. Everyone was cursing that darn Long Xiang. If not for the fact that he was the first to plot against the Ling family, the former silkpants Ling Tian would definitely not have been the first to make things difficult for them! Everyone was preparing for the arrival of that day. Almost everyone had made up their minds to not allow a character like Ling Tian to truly rise to power! The moment he stabilized his footing, everyone would definitely be in trouble! However, in the hearts of everyone present, Ling Tian was a disciple of Beyond Heavens, and no one wanted to be the first to suffer. This was also the reason why there were no powers involved in Sky Bearing during this short period of time!
However, just when everyone was scheming and plotting, a storm suddenly broke out in Sky Bearing, and news of Beyond Heavens and the Martial Order Medallion owner chasing after Ling Tian spread. This news made all the Great Empires heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time, all of them had their own plans. Since Ling Tian was not a disciple of Beyond Heavens, then there was no need for them to have any misgivings!
While they did not have any special background to worry about, with Ling Tian's strength, wealth, brains, and schemes, he would definitely be a huge threat once his wings were fully grown! Especially without the restrictions of Beyond Heavens, he would become even more frightening!
Thus, no matter what, a dangerous character like Ling Tian could not be allowed to exist in this world! While the Martial Order Medallion owner was chasing after Ling Tian, and Ling Tian was definitely dead, it was still just a 'chase', and there was still no confirmation that this dangerous character was dead! Letting him live for another day would also be detrimental, and in order to prevent any accidents, they could only … Thus, the various Empires began to take action.
Xiao family in the Southeast
The night was as cold as water, and the sky was filled with stars. The air seemed to be exceptionally cold tonight, and the head of the number one family in the world, Xiao FengHan, stood alone in the Wind Pavilion in the Green Ripple Immortal Park, looking up at the stars with a heavy expression. He suddenly thought about the bet he made with Old Lady Ling ten years ago when the Ling family broke off the engagement, and then thought about Ling Tian's shocking talent, and could not help but let out a sigh, thinking to himself, I had already lost this bet ten years ago! Although I stubbornly refused to admit defeat, it was only a matter of face. No matter what reason I used to cover it up, a loss was still a loss! Thinking about the decision made by the family in the afternoon, he could not help but let out a long sigh.
Although it was said that those who wanted to achieve great things should not be bothered by trifles, could it be that he really had to do such an ungrateful and treacherous thing? Xiao FengHan looked up at the starry night sky, and his heart was in a mess.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and the number two person in the Xiao family, Xiao FengYang, walked over lightly. "Big brother, are you having a headache over Ling Tian's matter again?"
"That's right." Xiao FengHan frowned. "In the afternoon meeting, almost everyone in the family who could speak requested for this old man to issue the order to kill Ling Tian, and only Xue'er expressed her strong opposition. Ai, you guys, how could you know what kind of relationship I had with big brother Ling in the past?! If I were to issue such an order now, how would I have the face to meet big brother and sister-in-law who treated me like their own brother? It's really hard for me to make a choice! "
Xiao FengYang was silent for a while, and then said clearly, "Big brother, to put it bluntly, what you care about is your personal relationship, and what we are discussing today is official business. It is official business that belongs to all the descendants of the Xiao family. Our Xiao family has been dormant for many years, and our only goal is to conquer the world. We are different from ordinary martial arts families, and we are not a simple business family. All the obstacles in our way must be mercilessly swept away. Here, no personal relationship is allowed, and even the personal relationship of the family head is no exception. Those are two completely different matters! The first is Tamago, and the second is Ling Tian. Tamago has the same idea as us, and wants to settle everything in one fell swoop at the last moment. We can still bide our time and plan slowly. However, Ling Tian is still so young, and has already shown the potential to sweep the world. Furthermore, he has the advantage in terms of wealth, manpower, and influence. Regardless of the reason why the Northern Wei issued the Martial Order Medallion to kill Ling Tian, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him with the help of the Martial Order Medallion owner, it will be a disaster sooner or later. Furthermore, when has the Martial Order Medallion ever failed? All we are doing is adding fuel to the fire. "
As he said that, Xiao FengYang took a step forward and lowered his voice. "Big brother, let's not talk about Ling Tian first, and just talk about the Martial Order Medallion owner … this is also killing two birds with one stone." Xiao FengYang said the last sentence with deep meaning.
Xiao FengHan's eyes lit up, and he lightly stomped his feet. "That's right, this is a good opportunity! If not for second brother's reminder, I would have really messed up this matter! "He paused for a moment before saying," Since that's the case, there's no time to lose. Tonight, let brother Guo send out the message to carry out this plan. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong! "
Xiao FengYang chuckled. "Big brother, please be at ease. Brother Guo's martial arts have already reached the pinnacle of perfection. With the help of his fellow sect members, his strength is so strong that no one in the world can stand up to him. This plan will definitely succeed! Big brother, you can just wait for the good news. "
After a moment, seeing that Xiao FengYang still had no intention of leaving, and instead had his head lowered in contemplation, Xiao FengHan couldn't help but feel a little strange. This second brother of his had always been calm and decisive. What was it that even he couldn't decide on? He couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, is there anything else? Even you are hesitating! "
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao FengYang finally said, "Big brother, did you notice that Xue`er's demeanor has been a little strange recently? During the meeting today, she seemed to be a little too agitated?"
Xiao FengHan thought about Xiao YanXue's demeanor during the meeting today, and could not help but nod his head. "Xue`er has been absent-minded recently, and is indeed a little abnormal. I was also unable to make up my mind. If not for second brother's reminder, I would have overlooked it."
Xiao FengYang said with worry, "That's right. Big brother, during the previous trip to Sky Bearing with Xue`er, not only was Ling Tian handsome and elegant, he was also talented in literature and martial arts. He was also extremely decisive in his actions. Furthermore, he had a marriage agreement with Xue`er, and saved Xue`er's life the moment he arrived in Sky Bearing. I'm afraid … I'm afraid that Xue`er has already fallen for him. This isn't surprising, after all, for a peerless talent like Ling Tian, which young lady wouldn't be infatuated with him? "
Xiao FengHan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought about the bet that year. He could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Could it be that he had lost so badly? He muttered to himself, "Xue`er isn't young anymore, is it …"
