The white-robed young man had a tall stature and a pair of eyebrows that were as sharp as swords. His expression was as cold as a sword, and his facial features were clearly defined as though they were carved out by a sharp sword. The feeling he gave off was that of an extremely sharp sword, exuding a chilling killing intent that could only be felt from a treasured sword that had killed countless people!
His gaze swept across the surviving members of the Shui Family, and all of them felt as though the cold autumn weather had suddenly turned into the winter of the twelfth lunar month. In fact, a cold feeling even rose from the depths of their hearts!
It was Ling Jian! The Sword of Ling Tian!
The First Elder of the Shui Family ignored the fatigue in his body and hurriedly stood up with a smile. "So it is Young Brother Ling who has personally come to receive us. To think that we would be able to trouble Young Brother Ling with this matter. This old man and the rest of us are extremely grateful."
The First Elder's heart was already filled with rage. The Ling family said that they would be receiving them, but they actually only appeared after the battle had ended! If they had an expert like Ling Jian to participate in the battle earlier, none of the Tamago Elders would have been able to escape! Furthermore, the losses of the Shui Family would not have been so great! Furthermore, Ling Jian's strength was definitely not inferior to the three black-robed men. If he was present, the situation would definitely not have been so terrible!
But now that he was facing Ling Jian, he did not dare to grumble at all. In fact, he did not even dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on his face. He knew that with just this white-robed young man in front of him, he would be able to turn all of his exhausted soldiers into corpses and bury them here! Facing such an expert, even if he felt extremely wronged, he could only hold it in when his skills were inferior!
Naturally, he did not know that Ling Jian had already participated in the battle and was the one who had killed the most people! Furthermore, the black-robed man who had scared the Tamago Elder Yu ZhanKong to the point of wetting his pants was actually this white-robed young man in front of him. It was just that the First Elder of the Shui Family did not recognize him. If it was Yu ZhanKong, he would have definitely recognized Ling Jian the moment he appeared. After all, the black-robed man had left a deep impression on him!
Ling Jian coldly glanced at his face and said indifferently, "I'm not here to help you."
The Great Elder was taken aback. He felt as if he had just swallowed a fly. He forced a smile and said, "Then, Young Brother Ling, you're here for …"
… "
Ling Jian coldly replied, "Under the orders of Miss Ling Chen, all the Ling family belongings that were stolen by Tamago are to be brought back to Sky Bearing! What do other things have to do with me?! "
"Ling family's property?" First Elder was so angry that one Buddha was born, two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and three Buddhas attained nirvana!
The Shui Family had sacrificed over a thousand lives in order to chase the Tamago people away, leaving behind all the treasures here. The treasures on the battlefield were the spoils of war for the victorious side. In other words, all the treasures here belonged to the Shui Family! It could even be said that all of these treasures were stained with the blood of the Shui Family!
From the start to the end, the Ling family did not even send a single person. The ones who fought were the Shui Family, and the spoils of war were also obtained by the Shui Family. However, after the battle ended, the Ling family actually dared to send people to collect the spoils of war and wanted to take them all away without any hesitation! Furthermore, they even dared to boast that these were originally the Ling family's property!
Not only did they not contribute, they even wanted to take everything for themselves! What did they take our Shui Family for?! The Great Elder almost vomited blood from Ling Jian's words. His face turned ashen and he almost fainted!
After taking a few deep breaths, the Great Elder forced himself to calm down and said, "Young Brother Ling's words are a little too much of a joke." While he tried his best to control his temper and not reveal a look of anger, no matter how good his self-restraint was, he was unable to squeeze out a smile. Even though he tried his best to control himself, his words still carried a hint of anger.
"Joke?" Ling Jian's eyes were like lightning as he glared at the Great Elder. "These were originally the property of our Ling family. It was those fellows from Tamago who stole a large amount of our Ling family's property without our knowledge! It was because they left that we found out about it. This was also the reason why I was ordered to come here. Old Lady Ling has ordered that not a single copper coin can be missing! And now, you actually dare to say that I'm joking?! Do you think what I said is funny? Don't tell me that these treasures did not come from the Ling family's property?! "
The Great Elder's heart trembled under Ling Jian's sharp gaze and he couldn't help but take a step back. His tone became weaker as he said, "Young Brother Ling, these treasures were, after all, stolen by our Shui Family!" He was already cursing in his heart. You guys actually have the face to say that not a single copper coin can be missing?! You guys are truly shameless!
"The Great Elder is the one who is joking, right?!" Ling Jian scoffed. "Your family and Tamago have been enemies for thousands of years. Don't tell me that your plan today wasn't to kill your enemies? Don't tell me that it was all for the sake of stealing the treasures? Or perhaps, if those people from Tamago didn't bring the treasures that belonged to our Ling family, you guys wouldn't have made a move? The Great Elder's joke is really not clever! Furthermore, even if you guys didn't make a move, I would have made a move to retrieve the treasures that belonged to our Ling family. I can only say that it was a coincidence that our Ling family owes your Shui Family a lot for this matter! Thank you so much! "
Despicable! Shameless! Shameless beyond words! Since you guys wanted to take back your treasures, why didn't you make a move earlier? Why did you have to wait until the battle was completely over before you all appeared? Since these treasures belonged to your Ling family, why did you let those people from Tamago bring them out? Don't tell me that you guys didn't know about this beforehand? Do you really think that we're fools?
Furthermore, even if it's your Ling family's treasures, it's now our Shui Family's spoils of war. You can take it away if you want, but if your Ling family eats the meat, we should at least get some soup, right? Now, you guys are still not satisfied even after swallowing the skin and bones, and even swallowing the pot into your stomach!
You're clearly using our Shui Family as a tool!
The Great Elder screamed in his heart as his body trembled with anger. He never thought that there would be such a shameless person in this world! In just a few sentences, the sacrifice of over a thousand lives had actually been turned into help! Furthermore, it was a help that did not benefit them at all, and was only exchanged for a so-called favor!
"Young Brother Ling, according to what you've said, are the thousand disciples of our Shui Family supposed to die for nothing?" In his anger, the Great Elder could no longer control himself and his words were not polite at all.
Ling Jian had already turned around, but at this moment, he slowly turned back and looked at the Great Elder coldly. "How can they die for nothing? Isn't the Great Elder's words wrong? Didn't you also kill over a thousand of Tamago's people here? The bravery of the disciples of the Shui Family has already paid a price! Haven't all the enemies of your target already died? What else do you want? "
Ling Jian glared at him coldly, his voice as cold as ice. "Don't tell me that your Shui Family not only wants to deal with a thousand year old enemy, you also want to take over the assets of your ally? That's not something to be proud of! "
"You!" The Great Elder was angered by Ling Jian's shamelessness to the point his limbs turned cold. His body trembled as though he was having a seizure, and his face turned from green to red before turning pale white. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Great Elder's white beard was stained with blood. The Great Elder closed his eyes and fell backwards. He had actually fainted from anger because of Ling Jian!
He couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't win in an argument either. Perhaps fainting was the best choice?
The rest of the Shui Family members glared fiercely at Ling Jian, as though they wanted nothing more than to swallow this white-robed brat alive!
Ling Jian furrowed his brows and said, "Your Elder's injuries are so serious, why aren't you taking good care of him? Now that he's fainted, why aren't you bringing him back for treatment? Elders of old age require special care, so why are all of you standing there like wooden blocks?! "
Everyone was flabbergasted! This Ling family brat was too shameless, right? What did he mean by we didn't take good care of him? He obviously fainted because he was angered by you, alright? Wasn't this a classic case of taking advantage of others and still acting innocent?
Several people snorted coldly and stepped forward with a baleful look on their faces! If not for Ling Jian's strength, they would have already charged forward to kill him!
Ling Jian's face was covered with a layer of frost as he raised his head and glared coldly at the crowd. "You all still want to fight with me?!" As soon as he said that, an earth-shattering killing intent surged out like a raging wolf. Ling Jian's body seemed to have turned into a heaven-shaking treasure sword in an instant, revealing his bloodthirsty killing intent!
The first few Shui Family members to bear the brunt of the attack were the few Shui Family members who wanted to make a move. They felt as though they had fallen into an ice cave and felt as though their vitals were being stared at by the other party. They immediately stopped in their tracks and circulated their cultivation to resist. They didn't even dare to move a single finger and their faces turned pale. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on their foreheads and flowed down their cheeks before dripping onto the ground. The sound of the beads of sweat dripping onto the ground was exceptionally clear.
Ling Jian glared at them coldly without any expression on his face. After a long while, he snorted coldly and turned around in disdain. He shouted at the Ling family warriors who were cleaning up the treasures on the ground, "Move faster, lest others get jealous and cause trouble. Not everyone has seen so many treasures before. The so-called thousand-year-old families will still steal like thieves!"
The warriors nodded in agreement and their subordinates increased their speed.
After Ling Jian turned around, the members of the Shui Family suddenly felt the pressure that was driving them crazy disappear. They actually felt a sense of weightlessness and all of them staggered backwards with shock in their hearts. Looking at Ling Jian's snow-white robes, all of them felt a sense of helplessness and humiliation.
As one of the two thousand-year-old families in the world, when had the Shui Family ever suffered such humiliation? But this time, the jewels that had already been in their hands were snatched away from them. They had suffered such a huge loss. Under the pressure of a single person, more than a hundred people actually dared to make a sound!
