"What?" Ling Shang was shocked, "The Xuan Clan dares to be so bold?"
"I didn't think Xuan Jianan would be so bold." Ling Jin frowned, "I thought that even if they didn't want to return to the Heaven Domain, they would at most refuse to cooperate with me. I didn't think that they not only wanted to ruin the plan to return to the Heaven Domain, but also wanted to take over the Ling Clan."
Ling Shang nodded, "However, Commander, it is a blessing in disguise that you were able to escape here. We still have many troops here. As long as we counterattack, we will definitely be able to take down the Xuan Clan."
"There is no need to counterattack. Xuan Jianan has incited a large number of ordinary Demons to fight against us. We may not be able to gain the upper hand even if we counterattack. We only need to defend here and wait for Brother Xia to recover his Demon Sovereign strength. At that time, the Xuan Clan will not be able to resist and the Demons will definitely believe us." Ling Jin shook her head, not in a hurry to take revenge.
Ling Shang turned to look at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan had been in seclusion all this time and he hadn't seen Lu Xuan for a long time. Now that he saw Lu Xuan, he found that Lu Xuan's aura had become much stronger. He was no longer as weak as he was when they first met. He believed Ling Jin's words. Lu Xuan was probably about to reach the Demon Sovereign strength.
He immediately said, "Since Commander is here, I will naturally leave everything to you. Oh right, I will return the commander's seal to you. You will be in charge of the Demons under your command."
Ling Jin nodded. Although she was the commander of the Ling Clan, she still relied on the commander's seal to command the troops. Because Ling Shang was the one leading the troops out to hunt, the commander's seal was temporarily given to him. Now that Ling Shang had returned the commander's seal, her suspicions towards Ling Shang disappeared.
Ling Shang took out an arrow with the Ling Clan's emblem and handed it to Ling Jin. Ling Jin didn't suspect anything and reached out to take it. However, at that moment, something happened!
Ling Shang's right hand suddenly exerted force, and the arrow turned into a ray of light as it shot towards Ling Jin!
The wariness in Ling Jin's heart had just disappeared, and she did not expect Ling Shang to suddenly launch an attack. In her shock, she hurriedly raised her hand to block. With a 'ding' sound, the arrow was directly slapped away by Ling Jin. However, this was only a way for Ling Shang to distract Ling Jin.
Just as Ling Jin blocked the arrow, Ling Shang charged forward like a phantom, gathering all his strength to punch Ling Jin's abdomen! A solid punch landed on Ling Jin's body, and a muffled bang was heard. Ling Jin was sent flying, spurting out fresh blood.
Although Lu Xuan had his suspicions, he couldn't stop Ling Shang's attack at such a close distance. However, his reaction was extremely fast. The moment Ling Jin was sent flying, he flashed and hugged Ling Jin. The power in his hands flowed and quickly dissolved this powerful impact.
Even so, most of the power of Ling Shang's punch was taken by Ling Jin. Even though Ling Shang's strength was slightly inferior to Ling Jin's, he was still at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm. The long-planned attack landed on the unguarded Ling Jin. One could imagine the severity of Ling Jin's injuries.
Ling Rou, on the other hand, was scared silly by this sudden turn of events. She finally regained her composure and screamed, "Someone, someone come quickly!"
There was no expected group of demon soldiers breaking the door. It was as if no one heard Ling Rou's cry for help. Everything was normal.
Ling Jin had no strength to stand up. Under the support of Lu Xuan's embrace, her face was pale.
Her lips trembled as she stared at Ling Shang with a pained expression, "Sure enough … did you betray me?"
The corner of Ling Shang's mouth moved, revealing a trace of a smile, "Sure enough? Looks like you have some suspicions about me. "
"I didn't suspect you. If I suspected you, I wouldn't have let you succeed. It was Brother Xia. Brother Xia reminded me." Ling Jin forced herself to say. She wanted an answer.
"Oh?" Ling Shang swung his right hand that was attacking Ling Jin. He looked at Lu Xuan and said, "As expected of the Heaven Region Messenger. Your eyes are indeed different."
"It's not that my eyes are different." Lu Xuan said in a deep voice, "All the clues show that there's something wrong with you. It's just that Commander Ling doesn't want to suspect you."
After a pause, Lu Xuan said, "If I'm not wrong, the surrounding demons have already been replaced by you, right? They should be from the Xuan Clan? "
Clap clap clap. A round of applause sounded from outside the tent. It got closer and closer until someone lifted the curtain and walked in.
"It's really better to meet you in person. Are you the Heaven Region Messenger? As expected, you're meticulous. "An unfamiliar male from the Heavenly Devil Race walked in with two subordinates.
Lu Xuan hugged Ling Jin and retreated to the side. He looked at the male warily. Ling Rou also hurried over, her face full of anxiety.
The male from the Heavenly Devil Race smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Sir Messenger. I'm Xuan Jianan. I've long wanted to meet Sir Messenger. Unfortunately, Sir Messenger has always been in seclusion and never had the chance. That's why I've come up with this plan."
"Meet me? You don't seem to have any plans to return to the Heaven Region. What's the point of meeting me? "
"Haha, Sir Messenger is a guest from the Heaven Region. As the host, I naturally have to receive you well. Unfortunately, Sir Messenger doesn't like me and doesn't even give me a chance to meet. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way." Xuan Jianan smiled again.
"Xuan Jianan, you win this time. However, I want to know an answer. " Ling Jin seemed to have recovered slightly. Although she was still weak, her aura had calmed down.
"Feel free to speak."
Ling Jin no longer looked at him. Instead, she looked at Ling Shang and said, "I want to know why you joined forces with the Xuan clan. Don't you know how much we can benefit from the Demon Emperor's protection when we return to the Heaven Region?"
Ling Shang shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "No, you're wrong. It's not how much we can benefit, it's how much you can benefit."
Ling Jin was puzzled. Pain flashed across Ling Shang's eyes as he clenched his fists and said with a twisted expression, "Because I'm no longer of pure Heavenly Devil Race bloodline!"
Hearing this, Ling Jin revealed an expression of shock that Ling Shang had expected. However, she said something that Ling Shang had never expected. "You know?"
This time, it was Ling Shang's turn to be shocked. Based on Ling Jin's words, she had clearly known about this a long time ago!
"You know too? How did you know? " Ling Shang quickly asked. He had always thought that this was his greatest secret. He never thought that this secret of his had already been discovered by Ling Jin.
"So that's the reason. Ha, what a joke …" Ling Jin smiled bitterly. "Not only do I know, but my father also knows. Every single descendant of the Ling clan has a detailed record. Did you think that without the permission of your ancestors, you could have lived as a member of the Ling clan until now? "
Ling Shang's expression changed. Things seemed to have gone beyond his expectations. It was completely different from what he had imagined. There seemed to be more to this than meets the eye! Xuan Jianan's expression was also slightly solemn. He had always been very puzzled over why the Ling Clan was completely unaware that Ling Shang clearly did not have a pure Heavenly Devil Race bloodline. He had originally thought that Ling Shang's father had done it secretly, but from Ling Jin's words, it was clear that there were other reasons.
