Ling Lie's glance at Ye Xingchen seemed casual, but there was a deeper meaning behind it.
The real commander of the battle just now was Ye Xingchen, the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.
Ling Lie and Cui Lao were the first to arrive. When they arrived, both sides were fighting fiercely. He naturally saw Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao only had time to greet his father before asking him to go down and help.
After Ling Yun forced Sikong Tu away, there were only four people left — Ling Xiao, Ye Xingchen, Green Bird, and Edward.
However, Ling Xiao was in the air. With his current Houtian Realm Level Five realm, everyone below him was at Xiantian Realm Level Six and above. Their movements were as swift as lightning, and Ling Xiao couldn't tell who was who with his eyesight. He was simply dazzled.
Marquis Edward was at the pinnacle of the Marquis level, but he was in charge of protecting Ling Xiao and didn't participate in the battle.
In that case, the only one left who understood both sides was naturally Ye Xingchen. She was in charge of the battle, so she was duty-bound to do so.
This was what Ling Yun had specifically instructed Ye Xingchen before he left.
Actually, Ye Xingchen and Green Bird were having a hard time fighting Sikong Wuqing and the eight assassins. They could barely protect themselves.
However, Ling Lie, who was at the later stages of Xiantian Realm Level Eight, and the two Blood Clan Earls joined the battle, turning the situation around.
Almost immediately, Qin Dongxue and Chester rushed to the battlefield and joined the fray.
Ye Xingchen knew herself as well as the enemy. Under her perfect command, the entire battle could be said to be as easy as crushing dry weeds, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
The five Heavenly King Stage assassins were quickly killed, followed by the three King of Assassins. Sikong Wuqing saw that he had lost the upper hand, and he used a diversion tactic to attack Ling Lie with all his might. However, his attack was blocked by Ye Xingchen, and he took the opportunity to escape with heavy injuries, not even bothering with Sikong Wuhen who was lying on the ground.
During the battle, Old Master Ling carefully observed Ye Xingchen. He realized that her dressing, martial arts, and the aura she exuded were extremely similar to Yin Qingxuan.
Old Master Ling knew that this Ye Xingchen had to be Yin Qingxuan's disciple, the current Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.
The battle ended quickly. Everyone naturally met and got to know each other while waiting for Ling Yun. Ye Xingchen's introduction confirmed this.
Frankly speaking, Old Master Ling was a little worried after confirming Ye Xingchen's identity.
He was truly worried that the massacre of the Ling Family eighteen years ago would happen again in the Ling Family!
It was Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan.
Now, would Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen …
Thus, Ling Yun had him leave first. Only then did Grandfather Ling glance at Ye Xingchen nonchalantly.
Ye Xingchen's eyes were focused on his nose, and his nose was focused on his heart. He didn't seem to notice anything at all. He didn't speak or move, and he behaved like a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family.
Ling Lie turned to look at Qin Dongxue. "Miss Qin, are you interested in having a cup of tea with the Ling Family?"
Qin Dongxue smiled. "Uncle Ling, Dongxue is about to pay you a visit!"
Ling Lie laughed. "Third Brother, bring Lady Green Bird along. Zhongwu, bring Sikong Wuhen. Let's go!"
With that, Ling Lie flew forward, grabbed Sikong Tu, and jumped onto Pierce's back.
"Wait!"
Ling Yun's figure flashed and appeared beside Sikong Wuhen. "Chi chi chi chi …" He used the Five Elemental Vessel Sealing Finger to completely seal Sikong Wuhen's energy center and meridians before letting Cui Lao take him away.
Sikong Wuhen was half a step into the Xiantian Ninth Realm. He had only used up too much of his True Qi just now, so he did not suffer any serious injuries. Ling Yun was afraid that something would happen after he recovered some of his True Qi.
"Yun 'er, if there's anything, just contact me."
Ling Lie waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Pierce soared into the sky with Ling Lie on his back. Then, Edward also soared into the sky with Ling Xiao and Green Bird.
"Brat, hurry up and go home after you're done! What do you think you're doing with your upper body bare?! "
Qin Dongxue frowned and glared at Ling Yun. Then, she got on Joyce's back and left.
In the blink of an eye, only Ling Yun, Ye Xingchen, and the Blood Clan's humanoid bird, Chester, were left.
Only after everyone had left did Ling Yun sneak a glance at Ye Xingchen, and nonchalantly said, "How stupid."
"Who did you say was stupid?"
Ye Xingchen glared at Ling Yun!
Ling Yun chuckled. "I said who's stupid."
"I'll beat you to death!"
The Heavenly Demon Belt suddenly shot out and curled around Ling Yun's neck.
Ling Yun chuckled mischievously and reached out with lightning speed to grab the Heavenly Demon Belt. Then, with a flick of his arm, the Heavenly Demon Belt coiled around his arm. Naturally, he also slowly approached Ye Xingchen.
"You let Sikong Wuqing escape with so many people and even got injured. If you're not stupid, who is?"
As Ling Yun walked, he winked and teased Ye Xingchen.
"Hmph! He used the Vengeful Snake Entanglement to hit your grandfather. Should I just sit back and watch?! If I dodged, the one who would be seriously injured would be the old man! "
Ye Xingchen said angrily.
"That's why I said you're stupid. You can't even beat Sikong Wuqing. Look at me, I easily beat his old man, Sikong Tu, until he peed his pants and looked for his teeth all over the floor, begging for mercy …"
Ling Yun wasn't stingy with his compliments.
Ye Xingchen turned his head and curled his lips. "Tsk, your clothes are gone and you still have the face to brag!"
At this time, Ling Yun had already arrived in front of Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen had no intention of retreating. The Heavenly Demon Belt was wrapped tightly around each of their arms.
Ye Xingchen glared at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun stared into Ye Xingchen's eyes for a while and asked with a grin, "Everyone has left. Why aren't you leaving?"
Ye Xingchen tilted his head and said coldly, "Hmph, this is the Assassins branch of the Devil Sect in the capital. Why should I leave?!"
Ling Yun laughed heartily. "There are already dead people in here …"
Ye Xingchen retorted sarcastically, "The people are dead, but the things are still here! Don't think I don't know what you're planning! "
Ling Yun's expression instantly turned serious. He said sternly, "Ye Xingchen, let's make this clear first. I was the one who slaughtered this place, so all the spoils of war inside naturally belong to me. There's nothing for you!"
Ye Xingchen laughed coldly. "In your dreams!"
Then, she continued, "Hmph, speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with you yet. Tell me, you killed all the people in my capital branch. How are you going to settle this score?! My grand aunt's plan has been completely ruined by you! "
Ling Yun's answer was even more outrageous. "So what if they're all killed? Our Ling Family has the final say in the capital from now on. What's the point of having the Assassins?!"
"What's more, you're saying it as if you didn't kill them just now."
With the elders gone, Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen met again and finally had a chance to talk. The two of them were at each other's throats the moment they appeared, bickering endlessly.
The two of them stared into each other's eyes for a long time. After a while, they suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.
After laughing, the two of them no longer dared to look each other in the eye and lowered their heads at the same time.
Ye Xingchen asked faintly, "Hey, let me ask you, why didn't you tell me straight away that you're a descendant of the Ling Family back then? You made me guess blindly all day! "
Ling Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Don't just talk about me. Back at the Celestial Ridge, when I asked you like that, you didn't tell me that your master was my biological mother!"
At the mention of the past, the two of them couldn't help but recall the negotiation and confrontation by the waterfall at the Celestial Ridge. Thinking about it now, they couldn't help but find it hilarious.
However, it was very heartwarming and gave them a different kind of feeling.
Ling Yun asked with a smile, "Back then, you said you wanted me to help you kill people. It should be the two brothers Sikong Wuqing and Sikong Wuhen, right?"
Ye Xingchen nodded without hiding anything. "That's right, I want to kill the two of them. The Assassins branch in the capital is their territory. My people can't infiltrate at all. Only by killing the two of them can I control this place."
Ling Yun didn't say anything, but he was touched. This place was so close to the Ling Family. If the Sikong brothers controlled this place, it would be a threat to the Ling Family. On the other hand, if Ye Xingchen controlled this place, the Ling Family would be safe.
Needless to say, Ye Xingchen had been running between the capital and Qingshui for the past few months because of Ling Yun and the Ling Family.
Ling Yun smiled. "So after Xiao Meimei told you that I came to the capital, you immediately followed?"
This time, it was Ye Xingchen's turn to roll her eyes. "Stop being so smug. Who's following you?"
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes flickered. Obviously, she didn't mean what she said.
Ling Yun pulled on the Demonic Belt and maintained a distance of half a meter from Ye Xingchen. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and sighed. "Come to think of it, it's strange. Why do you think every time we meet, it's in the mountains and we're always killing people?"
Ye Xingchen giggled. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Isn't that good?"
Ling Yun nodded. "It's good. At least the sky is filled with stars and the Milky Way is bright. It's just that fighting and killing people is a waste of this beautiful scenery."
Ye Xingchen didn't say anything.
Ling Yun lowered his head and looked at the Demonic Belt wrapped around their arms. "Xingchen, if the Demonic Belt was red, what do we look like now?"
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes glanced at him. Her heart trembled. She changed the topic. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ling Yun chuckled. "Do you think this is considered a marriage of a thousand miles? Or, do we look like a bride and groom who have just bowed to heaven and earth and are entering the bridal chamber? "
Ye Xingchen's heart trembled again. She didn't dare to look at Ling Yun anymore. "Stop being so smug. Who's a marriage of a thousand miles with you?"
The Demonic Belt trembled like a top. It left Ling Yun's arm and wrapped around Ye Xingchen's arm.
Big Brother Yun was inevitably disappointed that he failed to flirt with Ye Xingchen. He thought to himself, This isn't how things are progressing. Shouldn't it be easy to woo a disciple raised by his mother?
However, Big Brother Yun wasn't one to be discouraged. The corner of his mouth curled up again. "Xingchen, when you came, you said that I'm yours. What do you mean?"
Ye Xingchen turned her head and said stubbornly, "I'm happy to call you that. What's it to you?"
"Give me your hand."
"Get lost!"
"I'll heal you!"
"That's fine."
For the first time, Ling Yun successfully held Ye Xingchen's hand. (To be continued.)
