"He … he … he said that if Family Head has any other plans, it would be best … best if you put in more effort … this …" That person kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise his head even if he was beaten to death. However, he did not dare to hide anything from Yu ManLou. He really did not know how the Family Head would react if he heard this.
"Is that all? Hahaha … "Unexpectedly, Yu ManLou burst out into laughter. His laughter was filled with the joy of meeting a worthy opponent.
"What a good Ling Tian! You really didn't let me down! "Yu Manlou smiled and said without turning his head," You can go and rest later. "
"Thank you Family Head for your grace!" That person crawled up as though he had been pardoned and retreated. On the ground where he was originally kneeling, there was a large puddle of water. It was formed by his entire body drenched in cold sweat.
Yu ManLou shook his head as though his mood had suddenly turned for the better, "Ling Tian has been slowly approaching Bright Jade City and even killed sixteen assassins from the Blood Slaughter Pavilion not far from the city. However, he actually let so many of them return to report. Haha, this brat is indeed interesting. He is indeed an interesting opponent. It has been a long time since I met such an interesting opponent! "
Yu ManLou actually used the word 'interesting' three times in a single sentence! In the eyes of his subordinates, this was a rare sight.
However, the two black-robed men behind him did not move at all, as though they did not hear anything. They had followed Yu ManLou for a long time and naturally knew that Yu ManLou was merely expressing his own thoughts. Thus, the two of them did not say a word. However, they were familiar with Yu ManLou's character and could already confirm that Yu ManLou was extremely interested in this Ling Tian!
"Ling Tian, this brat is clearly declaring war on me! Furthermore, he has already chosen the location of the battle, Bright Jade City! Right now, he is only waiting for me to accept the challenge! The timing, location, and manpower are all in my favor! What an arrogant brat! What a gutsy brat! "While he said that, Yu ManLou's tone was still filled with praise.
"You actually dare to challenge me in Tamago's Bright Jade City? That requires a lot of courage! At the very least, the Xiao family and Shui Family wouldn't dare to make such a crazy move! "Yu Manlou laughed as he continued," But Ling Tian actually dared to! Not only did he dare to do it, he had already done it! His only advantage was that he knew that I wouldn't dare to deal with him openly! Rather than calling this battle a battle, it would be more accurate to say that Ling Tian had come to demonstrate his strength to me! Hmph hmph … you want to make me, Yu ManLou, suffer in silence in Bright Jade City? Not to mention that you, Ling Tian, couldn't do it, there weren't many people in the world who could! Do you think that you are Justice?! "
"Even if it's Justice, he still needs to consider carefully!"
Yu ManLou laughed sinisterly and walked out, "Go, go to the Martial Pointer Pavilion. Gather all the hall heads and tell them that I will be discussing something important in the Martial Pointer Pavilion. No one is allowed to be absent!"
"Now?"
"Now is the time!"
The face of the black-robed man twitched slightly. Heavens, it was already the middle of the night!
After all, Ling Tian was still too arrogant because of his youth! Yu ManLou sneered coldly in his heart. Even if you managed to escape Justice's pursuit, you should be hiding somewhere. How would you dare to appear in front of others? Even if you appeared in front of others, how would you dare to provoke me, Tamago? It was one thing to provoke me, Tamago. But of all the things you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have come to Bright Jade City! If you had only snuck into Bright Jade City, as long as you didn't make a single sound, I would have let you off if you left after causing trouble. But since you dare to challenge the absolute authority of my Yu Family in Bright Jade City, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Ling Tian, this might be the decision that you will regret the most in your life! You might not even have the chance to regret it! Don't think that you're the number one expert in the world just because you managed to escape Justice's pursuit! Tamago's thousand years of foundation is not something that a grassroots family like you can shake!
This old man is not that Justice. A person's strength is limited, and he is only one person. What this old man has is absolute authority over the entire Bright Jade City. Since you've come, then stay here forever!
Yu ManLou walked towards the Martial Pointer Pavilion with large strides. Suddenly, he felt the blood in his body that had not boiled for a long time start to boil. Perhaps Ling Tian's actions were extremely arrogant, but Yu ManLou would never underestimate his opponent, nor would he dare to underestimate his opponent! That young opponent of his, every step that he took was like a heavenly steed soaring through the skies. There were no traces that could be found, but they were also extremely ingenious.
Yu ManLou had always believed that Ling Tian was the number one opponent in his life! Even the Shui Family, the number one financial magnate in the world, the Xiao family, did not give Yu ManLou so much pressure!
All of this was because Ling Tian was too young!
Youth was capital! Youth symbolized unlimited potential! There were some things that he, the Shui Family Head, Shui Liantian, and the Xiao family Family Head, Ling Tian, could not afford to wait. But Ling Tian had the capital to squander! If Yu ManLou was asked what he was afraid of, it would be that Ling Tian would hide for three to five years, or even eight to ten years. If that really happened, then Yu ManLou would not be able to eat or sleep in peace! Thus, Ling Tian must not be allowed to leave Bright Jade City alive!
This might be the best opportunity before the battle, and it might also be the last opportunity before that. It might also be the best opportunity for him to succeed!
He must not miss it! He must not miss it!
Ling Jian's skinny body was tightly pressed against a magnolia tree in the inner courtyard of Tamago. There were several other magnolia trees, a few crape myrtle trees, and two pear trees around him.
This magnolia tree was not very thick, at most the thickness of a grown man. But its lush leaves were densely packed, and it was extremely suitable for a person to hide in the dark. Furthermore, its growth was exceptionally good, and its leaves were almost all a dark green, wide and thick. Ling Jian's night clothes were stuck to it, and it was as if he had merged with the magnolia tree, and it was impossible to tell them apart. Even if someone were to stand under the tree and look up with their eyes wide open, they would not be able to discover anything in this dark night.
Ling Jian did not abide by the two hour rule in the end. Indeed, two hours was simply not enough time. The time that Ling Jian had set for himself was five hours, from half past two to four. Before it was two and a half, he had successfully infiltrated this place. It was just that the stealthiness of the entire journey had left Ling Jian extremely shocked!
Just by infiltrating from the other side of the wall, he had already encountered four different patrols, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. It was almost guaranteed that every hour in Tamago, every place was being checked!
If it was just these guards, Ling Jian would naturally not put them in his eyes. He had countless methods to avoid them. However, what gave Ling Jian the most headache was the guards beneath his feet!
Below his feet, there were several thin transparent threads. They were not very high, only about two feet above the ground. But this distance of two feet was a boundary. No matter if it was a martial arts expert or an ordinary person, you could not always float in the air. Especially for a person in the night, after entering the target area, they could not casually use their lightness skills. That way, once there was the sound of clothes fluttering in the air, wouldn't they be discovered on the spot? Tamago may not have many other things, but it definitely did not lack first class experts!
But since one could not pass through in a flash, then one would not be able to avoid these thin threads! The worst thing was that on these threads, there were small and exquisite bells hanging from them. Ling Jian did not doubt that as long as he touched these threads, those bells would immediately ring throughout Tamago!
Tamago's defenses were actually similar to the Ling House's! It could be said that each had their own merits! When Ling Jian discovered this, he almost wanted to turn around and leave! As the head of the First Pavilion, he naturally knew how strict the defenses of the Ling House's courtyard were. To put it bluntly, even if Justice entered the Ling House's courtyard, it would be impossible for him to explore every corner of the courtyard without anyone knowing. Even Justice might not be able to avoid all of those endless ambushes!
The worst training Ling Jian had gone through was in the Golden Bell Formation. Ling Tian had set a rule that if one were to enter the Golden Bell Formation at midnight and touch a bell, he would be punished with a thousand swings of his sword. If he were to touch two bells, he would be punished with three thousand swings of his sword! Only the heavens knew how he managed to survive that period of training. He did not sleep for the entire night, training with his sword, but he still could not complete the punishment. One of his arms was swollen to the point that it was thicker than his thigh!
But now, ever since he entered Tamago and discovered these bells, Ling Jian was incomparably grateful for those few nights of training! Although it was a little difficult to guard against the patrolling guards on one side and the foot on the other, Ling Jian still managed to pass through that area and successfully arrived at the magnolia tree!
Not far ahead was the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower. Ling Jian closed his eyes and circulated the qi in his body, making his final preparations. He had already calculated that in another ten breaths of time, there would be a group of patrolling guards passing by the magnolia tree. At that time, it would be his best opportunity. He only had thirty breaths of time! It was not too long, but it was not too short either. If he were to use his movement techniques to the fullest, he would only need three breaths of time to reach the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower. That was enough time!
Right at this moment, a light and almost inaudible sound of footsteps could be heard approaching from afar.
"Experts!" Ling Jian immediately realized this. There were three people approaching, and their footsteps were extremely light. It was obvious that they were experts in movement techniques! They were on a completely different level compared to the heavy patrolling footsteps!
It was already so late, and there were actually three movement technique experts passing by? Why? This was not some dormitory area. Ling Jian's heart was filled with doubts, and he could not help but breathe more lightly.
The sound of conversation came from afar.
"… Da Hun, it's already so late, and the head of the family has summoned us. What is the matter? Could it be that something important has happened? " The voice was filled with curiosity, and even a little excitement, but there was no hint of unhappiness from being pulled out of bed.
This person was not simple! Ling Jian immediately commented in his heart. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
