Ling Tian's plan was for Ling Tian to kill all the remaining members of the Lei Family before spreading the news to the world. By ruining Ling Tian's reputation, he would be able to weaken Yu ManLou's support. The most ideal outcome would be to isolate Yu ManLou completely. That way, Ling Tian would have an easier time in the final battle.
Besides, Ling Tian wanted the heads of the Lei Family and in his plan, Yu ManLou would have to deliver those heads to him. At that time, Yu ManLou wouldn't be able to deny it even if he wanted to.
Who would have thought that Yu ManLou would actually play such a shameless game with Ling Tian? While the two of them didn't meet, Yu ManLou had obviously seen through Ling Tian's plan and retaliated. You said that you wanted the heads of the Lei Family, but you didn't ask me to deliver them to you. Now that I have already chopped off the heads of the Lei Family, it is my freedom to write a few words on the wall …
As such, Ling Tian was pushed into the center of public opinion.
Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. This was how young noble Ling Tian felt at this moment.
"What an old fox! What a brilliant old fox! " Ling Tian cursed hatefully before bursting out into laughter. Dammit, I can't do such things!
"I originally wanted to use the matter of the Lei Family to establish my might and warn the world. Following that, I wanted to push the boat along with the current and force Tamago to make a choice that betrays the will of the people. I never expected Yu ManLou to be so scheming and astute to be able to find a way out of this predicament to complete my request in my name. Not only did he complete my request, he even didn't take Tamago's foundation into consideration. He is indeed my strongest opponent." Ling Tian laughed bitterly. While this matter didn't reach the ideal outcome, it wasn't a bad thing. At the very least, if anyone wanted to touch the Ling family in the future, they would have to think about the ending of the Lei Family. In this world, how many families could have a stronger foundation than the Lei Family? No matter what kind of monster it was, they would still be afraid of evil people!
With the Lei Family as an example, who would dare to act recklessly? Even if he really wanted to, he needed to have the guts to do so!
Ling Tian was truly at a loss. If that was the case, would his plan this time be considered a gain or a loss? This debt was really hard to settle. Although Yu Manlou's counterattack had dealt with the Lei Family once and for all, there wasn't any substantial damage done to either side. His control of the situation was rather precise.
Three days later, two elders from Tamago arrived.
This time, Ling Tian did not make any excuses. Instead, he sent out 500 soldiers to escort Yu BingYan to Bright Jade City. Just in case, Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian disguised themselves and mixed into the group of soldiers. They acted as Yu BingYan's personal guards and followed her. After all, the original Xue Leng brothers had already died in the battle with the Lei Family. Furthermore, even if that incident didn't happen, Ling Tian wouldn't be at ease leaving Yu BingYan's safety in the hands of others, even if it was Yu BingYan's own family.
Furthermore, with the strength of Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian, they had all received training from Ling Tian. Furthermore, with the help of the Scaled Dragon's inner core, as well as the time they spent stabilizing their cultivation, Ling Tian believed that they would be able to protect Yu BingYan even if she was surrounded by an army of ten thousand. Furthermore, Yu BingYan's current strength had already reached a rather impressive level. She wasn't weaker than any of the Feng and Yun brothers.
How could the five great experts be defeated so easily with just a little bit of strength? Furthermore, the five of them had a common trait, which was that they could perfectly conceal their strength. The four of them had received the Aura Concealment Technique from Ling Tian. If they were to use this Aura Concealment Technique, even Ling Tian himself would be ashamed of his inferiority. The strength that the four of them displayed, even with Ling Tian's judgement, was at most at the level of a Houtian expert. Of course, with their age, this was already extremely outstanding.
As for Yu BingYan, she had coincidentally opened her Ren and Du meridians while she was recuperating. Furthermore, she had absorbed the medicinal effects of various herbs in her body and her cultivation had reached the XianTian realm. Just based on her cultivation alone, she wasn't inferior to Ling Chen or Shui QianRou. Furthermore, she had previously cultivated the Mysterious Maiden Heart Sutra that Ling Tian had given her. This cultivation technique was most suitable for a woman with a Pure Yin Body to cultivate. While it wasn't very powerful, it could perfectly conceal one's cultivation. Thus, Yu BingYan's appearance wasn't much different from before she was recuperating.
As a precaution, Ling Tian instructed Li Xue and Ling Chen to inject a stream of pure Ice Attribute Qi into Yu BingYan's body to disguise the fact that Yu BingYan had yet to recover from her illness. If someone were to use their Qi to probe her body, they would immediately be attacked by the Ice Attribute Qi. Of course, if no one tried to probe her body, these two streams of pure Ice Attribute Qi would become Yu BingYan's secret weapon!
Yu BingYan already knew that she was about to leave and her mood was extremely low. She first went to the Ling family to bid farewell to the elders and cried her heart out. When she was about to leave, she hugged Ling Chen and Li Xue and bawled her eyes out.
Ling Tian also felt a little sour in his heart. However, he forcefully endured it and coaxed Yu BingYan into the carriage with much difficulty. Yu BingYan still stuck her body out and waved her hands.
After sending Yu BingYan off, Ling Tian began to get busy again. Furthermore, he was extremely busy. The current Ling Tian was hoping that he could quickly extricate himself from this matter and hide in Heavenly Wind.
Following the Ling family's successive victories, first wiping out Southern Zheng and then swallowing Eastern Zhao, half of the territory was already under their control and was extremely stable. Especially after this period of rest and recuperation, everything was in order and the barren land had also regained some vitality.
With such a good situation, the various officials of Sky Bearing began to get restless. This included most of the people in the Ling House. Comrade Meng Lige was one of the most resolute of them all.
They called for the Ling family to quickly set up a new dynasty and establish an empire. They also wanted the three generations of the Ling family to quickly ascend to the throne. This matter caused a huge uproar and Ling Tian was extremely miserable.
In terms of seniority, Old Master Lin Zhan was naturally the most suitable to ascend to the throne. However, Old Master Lin Zhan's attitude was extremely resolute. I'm old and muddle-headed. I don't have many years left to live. It's better for Ling Xiao to hand over his military authority and quickly return to Sky Bearing to ascend to the throne.
Grand Marshal Ling was even more resolute. "Whoever wants to do it can do it. This daddy here is not doing it! Let that little fellow Ling Tian ascend to the throne.
Ling Tian naturally had his own reasons. There's a grandfather and a father above. Who am I, Ling Tian, to think that I am? If I really ascend to the throne, wouldn't I be scolded half to death by everyone in the world? How could someone as virtuous and filial as me do such a thing? Grandfather is still the most suitable.
The throne was like a rubber ball, being kicked back and forth between the three generations. However, no one was willing to sit on the throne.
After such a long time, everyone was extremely exhausted. Meng Lige even invited the secluded Qin Da to persuade him. However, it was to no avail. Instead, Ling Tian took the opportunity to make Qin Da stay in the Ling House. On the surface, it was to take care of his old age. However, it was actually to squeeze out the remaining value of this old mister.
Helpless, Meng Lige decided to use the strategy of surrounding and chasing Ling Tian. Every day, he would follow behind Ling Tian and nag at him, causing Ling Tian to be extremely annoyed. Since there were policies from above, there would naturally be countermeasures from below. The crafty Ling Tian decided to use the strategy of 'a crafty rabbit has three burrows'. Guarding against Meng Lige was like guarding against a ghost. Under Ling Tian's superior movement techniques, Meng Lige naturally couldn't even see his shadow. He was extremely depressed in his heart.
Bright Jade City, Tamago.
Yu BingYan slowly walked out of the carriage. Looking at the majestic archway in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. Back then, she walked out of this place with the intention of dying. She originally wanted to spend the rest of her life to her heart's content. However, she never expected that she would actually find the love of her life, the most sincere happiness. Furthermore, the chronic illness that had plagued her for 18 years had also disappeared without a trace. Now that she stood here once again, she felt as though the past was a long time ago.
In the main hall, Yu ManLou, Yu ManTang and Yu ManTian looked at Yu BingYan who was walking in with an agitated expression. Yu ManLou even had a trace of guilt on his face before disappearing.
Yu ManTian's mouth was wide open with a smile. Yu ManTang couldn't help but feel agitated as he took a few steps forward. Looking at his daughter's figure, his eyes were filled with anxiousness and his body was trembling.
"Daddy …" Yu BingYan let out a cry and shot forward like an arrow, throwing herself into her father's embrace. Yu ManTang's eyes were a little moist as he hugged his daughter, "Yan 'er, come, daddy will take a look at you. Have you lost weight? Good girl … you have suffered …"
Yu BingYan's tears flowed down her cheeks.
Yu ManTang pushed Yu BingYan's body away and looked at his daughter with a doting gaze.
Yu ManLou stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the reunion between Yu BingYan and his daughter. All of a sudden, he seemed to have discovered something and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Second brother, BingYan … your illness has been cured?!" Yu ManLou asked in surprise. However, there was also a tinge of doubt in his voice.
"BingYan …" With Yu BingYan's reminder, Yu ManTang also noticed the abnormality in his daughter's body. The cold aura that had accompanied his daughter for a long time had disappeared and a look of joy appeared on his face, "BingYan, your illness has been cured?"
However, the Divine Black Negative Meridians were truly tyrannical. Even with Justice's peerless medical skills, he was unable to expel it. However, this senior truly lived up to his reputation as the number one expert under the heavens. He used his divine abilities to forcefully compress the Divine Black Negative Meridians and sealed it within BingYan's body. Although he wasn't able to expel it in one fell swoop, there would still be repercussions. However, as long as there aren't any major changes, the frost poison wouldn't be able to threaten BingYan's life for the next ten years. Compared to before, the difference is like heaven and earth. "
As she spoke about this matter, Yu BingYan's face was filled with sweetness. With regards to the matter of treating her illness, they had already decided to keep the matter regarding the Great Cyclic Pellet and the inner core of the scaled dragon a secret no matter what. The martial arts of Ling Chen, Li Xue, and Ling Tian had to be kept a secret as well. After thinking about it for a long time, Yu ManLou decided to pin this matter on Justice.
