"Are all of you willing to lend a hand and help me carry them to your Zhang Clan's Audience Hall?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the Zhang Clan guards as he spoke slowly.
The expressions of the Zhang Clan guards went grim when they heard this, and then they looked at each other, yet none of them dared agree.
"Young Master Ling Tian, don't make it difficult for us."
In next to no time, a Zhang Clan guard laughed bitterly. "They're the Madam's people. Perhaps you're not afraid of the Madam, but we're not."
"Yeah."
The other Zhang Clan guards hurriedly nodded.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, yet he wasn't surprised, and he continued. "Then help me notify your Eldest Young Master and ask him to go to the Audience Hall. This ought to be fine, right?"
"This isn't a problem."
The Zhang Clan guards hurriedly spoke.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian took the lead and dragged the three corpses into the Zhang Clan Estate, and he left behind a long trail of blood all along the way as he headed directly to the Zhang Clan Audience Hall.
Behind Duan Lingtian, a Zhang Clan guard hurriedly headed towards the other side.
The direction he headed towards was precisely the courtyard that the Zhang Clan's Eldest Young Master, Zhang Shou Yong, resided in.
"Young Master Ling Tian!"
When Duan Lingtian arrived outside the Zhang Clan Audience Hall, the servants that stood on guard at the side recognized him.
In next to no time, the expressions of the servants went grim.
Because they saw the three corpses that Duan Lingtian dragged over.
Bang!
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian directly tossed the three corpses at the entrance of the Zhang Clan Audience Hall, and then he silently stood at the side and didn't enter.
"Please notify your Patriarch, Madam of the Patriarch, Second Young Master, and the various elders to invite them over."
Duan Lingtian looked at the servants that stood on guard at the side and had slightly grim expressions as he spoke slowly.
The servants hurriedly nodded when they heard this, and then they left as if they were fleeing.
When he saw the actions of the servants were so exaggerated, Duan Lingtian rubbed his nose in embarrassment. "Am I so terrifying?"
It wasn't long before a figure flashed over.
Swoosh!
His figure was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he stood beside Duan Lingtian.
"Brother Ling Tian, what happened?"
The first person to arrive was Zhang Shouyong.
Obviously, the Zhang family guard who went to find Zhang Shouyong didn't have time to tell Zhang Shouyong too much, so Zhang Shouyong didn't know what had happened.
"Brother Zhang."
Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled to Zhang Shou Yong, and then he pointed at the three corpses nearby.
"Hmm?"
Only then did Zhang Shouyong notice the three corpses and the bloodstains on the road. He couldn't help but frown, "Who are they?"
Soon, Zhang Shouyong's gaze landed on the three corpses.
With just a glance, he was able to clearly see the faces of the three corpses.
"Humph!"
Zhang Shou Yong suddenly snorted coldly. His voice was extremely cold. Obviously, he recognized the three corpses and said in a deep voice, "That bitch …"
Now, Zhang Shouyong naturally understood what had happened.
It was surely his Second Mother that sent people to make a move against Duan Lingtian, and they were instead killed by the experts of the Darkstone Empire.
Now, Duan Lingtian had brought three corpses to denounce Zhang Shouyong.
"Brother Ling Tian, you can be at ease … I'll surely give you an explanation for this matter!"
Zhang Shouyong promised word by word.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He believed in Zhang Shouyong.
If he didn't believe in Zhang Shouyong, he wouldn't have so straightforwardly dragged three corpses to the Zhang Clan.
"What's going on?"
In next to no time, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch arrived as well, and his expression was extremely unsightly as he looked at the bloodstains on the road.
"Father, look at them."
Zhang Shouyong's expression was extremely gloomy as he pointed at the three corpses.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch glanced over, and his expression instantly went grim. "Why is it them? Aren't they the guards by your Second Mother's side? How could they have died here? "
"They didn't die here … If I'm not wrong, it ought to be Second Mother that sent them to kill Brother Ling Tian, yet they were instead killed by the experts of the Darkstone Empire that stood behind Brother Ling Tian."
Zhang Shouyong spoke with a low voice.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch's expression went grim when he heard this, and then he looked at Duan Lingtian as if he wanted to confirm it. "Brother Ling Tian, is it really like this?"
"Patriarch Zhang, the three of them really did want to kill me … But unfortunately, they didn't succeed."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch's brows knit tightly when he heard this, and his expression was gloomy, and then he looked at Zhang Shouyong and said, "Go get your Second Mother."
Zhang Shouyong hadn't moved yet when Duan Lingtian had already spoken. "Don't worry Patriarch Zhang, I've already sent people to invite your Madam and Second Young Master over."
Zhang Shouyong stopped moving when he heard this.
On the other hand, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's brows knit together even more tightly.
Originally, he was still thinking.
After he sent Zhang Shouyong away, he planned to properly discuss this matter with Duan Lingtian and see if this matter could be reduced to a small matter, and a small matter turned into nothing.
After all, this matter was related to his second wife.
But now, he was obviously only able to persuade Duan Lingtian via voice transmission.
"Brother Ling Tian, my Zhang Clan is in the wrong in this matter … How about this, for the sake of displaying the sincerity of my Zhang Clan. So long as it's within the scope of my Zhang Clan's ability, then so long as you have any request, my Zhang Clan will surely go through water and tread on fire! "
A voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
He was able to discern that this was the voice transmission of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch.
"Patriarch Zhang."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the Zhang Clan's Patriarch and replied via voice transmission. "I'm friends with Big Brother Zhang, and you're his father. Logically speaking, I ought to call you Uncle … But, I still hope that Uncle can do official business in the matter today and give me justice."
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard this.
He knew that Duan Lingtian wanted to fight for his honor.
After a short moment, numerous figures arrived successively.
In next to no time, over 10 Zhang Clan elders had arrived.
"This …"
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch was dumbstruck when he saw these Zhang Clan elders.
"Uncle, it was I who asked them to invite the elders over."
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at the Zhang Clan's Patriarch, causing the corners of the latter's mouth to twitch, and his eyes revealed traces of fear.
Only now did the Zhang Clan's Patriarch realize.
Not only did this violet clothed young man possess extraordinary natural talent in the Martial Dao, even his meticulousness caused one's scalp to go slightly numb.
Subsequently, he glanced at Zhang Shou Yong.
He knew that the reason Duan Lingtian dared devise strategies like this was undoubtedly because he had his son, this' chip. '
It could be said that if it wasn't for the interference of his eldest son, Duan Lingtian would absolutely be unable to stir up any waves in the matter today …
"What a scheming person."
As the Patriarch of a Clan, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch had roamed freely for half of his life, so what sort of people hadn't he seen? What sort of storms hadn't he encountered?
But now, before this violet clothed young man, traces of fear arose from the bottom of his heart.
How old is this little fellow?
He possesses such terrifying scheming at such an age. When he truly matures in the future, I'm afraid he'll be a devil incarnate!
This was something he didn't doubt in the slightest.
"Patriarch, what's happened?"
The over 10 Zhang Clan elders quickly noticed the three corpses that were tied together, and they couldn't help but frown as they asked the Zhang Clan's Patriarch.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch hadn't opened his mouth when a Zhang Clan elder couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. "Eh … Aren't these three the guards by the Madam's side?"
"They're really the guards by the Madam's side!"
"Even though the guards by the Madam's side are from the Clan the Madam is from, but since they followed the Madam into our Zhang Clan, then they're members of our Zhang Clan … Who's so audacious? They even dared to kill members of our Zhang Clan! "
…
For a time, the group of Zhang Clan elders were enraged.
Meanwhile, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife and Second Young Master had arrived late.
When they saw the three black clothed middle aged man corpses that laid on the ground, their expressions went grim.
"Madam, if I'm not wrong, they ought to be the guards by your side, right?"
In next to no time, a Zhang Clan elder asked the Patriarch's wife.
The Patriarch's wife's expression was unsightly, yet she still nodded.
This was something she couldn't deny.
"Don't worry Madam, no matter who killed the guards by your side, our Zhang Clan will absolutely not let the matter go!"
Some Zhang Clan elders assured the Patriarch's wife successively.
This caused the latter to feel a wave of guilt.
"Elders, all of you don't know the sequence of events, so it's better for you not to be in a hurry to display your loyalty."
Right at this moment, Zhang Shou Yong spoke with a voice filled with ridicule.
"Eldest Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
Instantly, the expressions of those elders went grim.
"Brother Ling Tian, you tell them."
Zhang Shou Yong looked at Duan Lingtian and nodded to him. "Feel free to speak frankly, there's no need to worry in the slightest."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then he said slowly, "These three people were killed by the experts of my Darkstone Empire … The reason was that the three of them had concealed themselves outside our estate for an entire three months, and when I left the estate today, they directly made a move to kill me!"
"Fortunately, I had the protection of an expert by my side, otherwise, I'd already be dead."
As he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at the Patriarch's wife and Second Young Master that had unsightly expressions. "After I came to the Capital of the Darkhan Dynasty, I didn't offend anyone … The only people I had a conflict with were the Patriarch's wife and Second Young Master."
"So I brought those three corpses to the Zhang Clan Estate … The facts proved that I wasn't wrong. These three people were precisely the people by the side of the Patriarch's wife. "
Duan Lingtian finished speaking in a single breath.
The group of Zhang Clan elders looked at each other and were all speechless.
"Madam, is what he said true?"
In next to no time, a white haired and white browed Zhang Clan elder that was over 100 years old asked the Patriarch's wife with a low voice.
The Patriarch's wife chose to remain silent, and she'd obviously tacitly agreed.
"Elders, I hope that all of you can do business in the matter today … Brother Ling Tian is my friend, and I hope that all of you can give him justice! Otherwise, I, Zhang Shou Yong, will leave the Zhang Clan from now on. "
Zhang Shou Yong spoke with a resolute tone.
Leave the Zhang Clan!
As soon as Zhang Shou Yong said this, everyone present, including Duan Lingtian, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Big Brother Zhang …"
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Shou Yong as dense warmth arose in his heart.
On the other hand, the Patriarch's wife and Second Young Master's faces went grim instead.
They originally didn't take the matter before them seriously.
