"However, Tamago does not dare to push the Ling family too far. If they really push the Ling family to the brink, both families would definitely fight it out. Even if Tamago can rely on their deep foundations and summon the various powers to obtain victory, they would definitely lose a large portion of their strength to Ling Tian. At that time, Tamago would no longer have the capital to contend for hegemony in the world. Thus, while Tamago's men in Sky Bearing seem to be unbridled and focused on expanding, they would not dare to make a move against Ling Tian's direct subordinate, the Ling House! As long as Ling Tian does not die, the two families can only settle the situation in Sky Bearing silently. There is no other way! "
"Right now, the attention of the entire world is focused on this place! The success or failure of the Ling family will also depend on this place! If one were to put it in a more serious manner, the fate of the entire world would be tied to Ling Tian alone! If Ling Tian is still around, he will control the center of the continent, Sky Bearing. Furthermore, he has the support of a powerful force. As long as there is such a force in the middle, no one would dare to make a move! "
"However, if Ling Tian dies, this force would definitely crumble into pieces. At that time, there would no longer be a need to worry. HuaHu, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. If Ling Tian dies, the Western Han, Southern Zheng Wu Empire, Eastern Zhao, and the Southeastern Xiao family will no longer have any qualms and will take action at the first opportunity! On the day that Ling Tian dies, this world will be completely torn apart with the flames of war rising from all directions! "
"How formidable!" DongFang HuaHu sucked in a breath of cold air. "If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that Ling Tian, this immature brat, is actually responsible for the safety of the world? How unimaginable! "
"While it might seem a little exaggerated, it isn't without reason." DongFang JingLei fell into deep thought. "I originally intended to do my best to befriend Ling Tian and leave a path of retreat for my DongFang Family! At the very least, it will ensure the survival of our Dongfang Family. This is because our Dongfang Family has been torn apart over the years. Although our strength is not weaker than any of the other families, the hearts of our people have fallen apart. We are not the material to unify the world. I have secretly formed ties with the three families that have the greatest hopes of unifying the world. The first is the Tamago family, the second is the Xiao family, and the third is the Ling family. I have also laid the foundation for Ling Tian. But with the appearance of the Martial Order Medallion, there were too many variables, causing me to lose my calculations! I also took advantage of this period of time to analyze these three families once again. In the end, I suddenly discovered something! "
DongFang JingLei's expression was incomparably heavy as he said, "From the past actions of these three families, I suddenly felt that while the other two families might be able to take into account their past relationships, Ling Tian would definitely not. This person is vicious and merciless, decisive in his killing. Ling Tian has never shown mercy to anyone before! This young brat is actually the most terrifying peerless hero that makes people shudder with fear just thinking about him. "
"If we make use of this opportunity to get rid of Ling Tian, the world will descend into chaos. At that time, our DongFang Family will be much safer than it is now. If we can make use of the pressure of war to unite the entire family, we might even have a chance of conquering the world! Thus, I must kill Ling Tian no matter what! Today, after witnessing the Martial Order Medallion owner's peerless methods, Ling Tian will definitely die! "
Outside, on top of a large tree about 300 feet away from DongFang JingLei's tent, Ling Tian and Li Xue seemed to have become a part of the tree under the illumination of the setting sun. Even if someone from the DongFang Family were to pass by the tree, they would never imagine that there were two living people right above their heads.
DongFang JingLei's words, which he thought were secretive, had actually reached the ears of these two people without missing a single word! These two people were naturally Ling Tian and Li Xue, who had snuck in secretly.
However, their conversation did not stop for even a moment. Of course, the two of them were using the 'Ant Whisper Technique'. This technique could only be used by someone with extremely high attainments in internal energy. Thus, there was naturally no need to worry about being discovered by others!
Li Xue asked, "Tian'ge, DongFang JingLei's words have all been heard by us. What are your plans now? Are you really going to make a move?! " From these words, it could be seen that this scheming and resourceful lass already had other plans after hearing DongFang JingLei's words.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment before replying, "My original plan was to use our martial arts to sneak in and kill DongFang JingLei at lightning speed! Then, we would quickly retreat and hide our tracks. As long as DongFang JingLei dies, the DongFang Family would definitely be thrown into chaos and they would not be able to find trouble with us. In fact, I could even find trouble with those two ghosts from Tamago. But from the looks of it, I can't make up my mind. I might have underestimated the heroes of the world, but who would have thought that other than Tamago and the Xiao family, there would be someone with such good foresight! Back then, DongFang JingLei purposely tried to befriend me. He is indeed a scheming person! "
Shaking his head, Ling Tian continued, "DongFang JingLei might be scary, but as long as I keep an eye on him, he will not be able to cause any trouble. On the other hand, if we can make use of the internal strife in the DongFang Family, we should be able to achieve unexpected results. If DongFang JingLei dies now, we might even be doing the DongFang Family a huge favor."
"That's right," Li Xue's voice was filled with agreement, "If DongFang JingLei dies now, no matter how useless DongFang JingTian is, without a strong competitor, he would still be able to create a united front. If DongFang JingLei dies, the DongFang Family might seem to be weakened, but in reality, they would be united. As long as DongFang JingTian manages to take over DongFang JingLei's faction, the DongFang Family's strength would increase greatly. This would be a huge hindrance to your plan of conquering the world. If DongFang JingLei is allowed to return, the DongFang Family would be in danger of falling apart. By the time we are free, we would be able to drive a wedge between the two families and cause this huge family to fight to the death! Furthermore, I can see that DongFang JingLei is someone who knows when to advance and retreat. If we can make use of him, he would be of great help to us! "
"Little sister Xue'er is truly knowledgeable about the internal strife of the family." Ling Tian chuckled, as though he had a hidden meaning behind his words. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, as though he was filled with pain and a trace of fear.
Li Xue suddenly fell silent, and the tree branch she was perched on began to tremble slightly. If not for Ling Tian paying attention to her movements, he would not have noticed it. Li Xue paused for a moment before replying, "Everyone says that the battlefield is the most dangerous place. However, that is not the case. Even though there is a 90% chance of death on the battlefield, since we have chosen to go to the battlefield, we will either kill or be killed. If we are unfortunate enough to die in the hands of the enemy, it is only natural and there is nothing to complain about. Actually, in this little sister's opinion, the most dangerous places in the world are, first, the internal strife within the Imperial Palace, and second, the infighting within the great clans. That is truly the ugliest and most dangerous place in the world. "
Ling Tian let out a sigh and said, "That's right, dying in the hands of the enemy on the battlefield is a matter of course. But if you were to be framed by your own family and tortured by your own brothers and sisters, the feeling of being tortured by your own family is the true feeling of despair, helplessness, and living a life worse than death. To think that DongFang JingLei, the pride of the DongFang Family, would have such a fate. What a joke! " These words of Ling Tian's were said through gritted teeth. His voice was filled with hatred, resentment, and the pain in the depths of his soul. All of these were clearly expressed in his words!
Ling Tian's words seemed to be intentional, but every single one of them pierced deeply into Li Xue's heart. In that instant, it was as though the scars from thousands of years ago were being reopened. Li Xue's entire body trembled, and behind her mask, her pearly white teeth bit down on her lower lip, causing a trace of blood to flow out.
After a long while, Li Xue's voice rang out, "Internal strife within the family is the greatest sorrow of the aristocratic families. Since ancient times, which family has been able to escape from such a tragic fate? If they were born to be cruel and merciless, they would have done what they had done. Regardless of whether they killed their own brother or sister, the winner would be the king, and the loser would be the bandit. In order to achieve their goals, they would use any means necessary. This is the typical way of doing things. They were already devoid of conscience and humanity. Naturally, they could enjoy the fruits of their labor with a clear conscience.
"But Brother Tian, have you ever thought about this? No matter which world or what kind of world it was, there were only a few ambitious and ruthless people and heroes! There will still be some people with a conscience who will participate in these ugly affairs. Being forced to do something that goes against their conscience, even though they will be tormented by their conscience to the point that they wish they were dead, if they were given another chance, they would still make the same choice without a second choice! "
"If a mother realizes that if she doesn't do such a thing, her children will fail and die miserably, then even if she knows that it is wrong, even if it goes against her conscience, she will still do it! She would rather suffer the torment of her conscience and have no regrets in her endless regret! In the same way, if a son or daughter knew that if he didn't do something, his father or mother's position would be seriously threatened, and he would suffer failure or even be destroyed in the near future, then he would rather do it without hesitation and without regret. Tian'ge, if you were in his shoes, for your parents, would you hurt someone you didn't want to hurt? Would you do it? "
Ling Tian was silent! A long silence ensued.
In Li Xue's beautiful big eyes, tears were already rolling uncontrollably, quietly dripping down, quietly wetting the blue cloth covering her face.
