"Ancestors, the Ling Family is overjoyed! The Ling Family is overjoyed! "
Ling Lie led the Ling Family into the ancestral hall once again. He took two steps forward and knelt in front of the ancestral tablets.
At this moment, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed at all. He was so excited that even his voice was trembling as he spoke, almost as if he was roaring.
"Ancestors, please take a look. Look at our Ling Family. Look at these children. They have all broken through to the Xiantian Realm!"
Ling Lie was praying and venting at the same time. With the help of the Ghost and Divine Willow, all the direct descendants of the Ling Family had broken through to the Xiantian Realm within an hour. This was something that had never happened before!
Ling Lie kowtowed and said with a trembling voice, "Ancestors, look! The Ling Family's inheritance is finally showing its usefulness!"
"The Heavens have eyes. The ancestors have shown their spirit!"
Ling Lie got more and more excited as he spoke.
However, why did all the great clans have to talk about inheritance every time they opened their mouth?
The family heirloom was an inheritance. A big family's customs and rules were also an inheritance. Secret techniques were even more so.
As long as it was something passed down from generation to generation, be it treasures, rules, or experience, it could all be considered an inheritance.
This was because these things were the foundation for a big family to exist for hundreds or even thousands of years. No matter how many ups and downs they went through, they could still stand tall!
The ancestors planted the trees, and the descendants reaped the shade.
The Ling Family had been abiding by their ancestral teachings for generations. Year in and year out, they had been silently feeding the Divine Ghost Willow their own blood and channeling Black Yellow true energy into it. However, they had never received any benefits or feedback.
But tonight, the Ling Family finally received the Ghost and Divine Willow's blessing. Even though it was only once, the entire Ling Family had received a great benefit!
It was Ling Yun who cut his palm and fed a large amount of blood to the Ghost and Divine Willow, which led to the mutation of the Ghost and Divine Willow.
However, if it weren't for the Ling Family's ancestors, who had been feeding the Divine Ghost Willow with fresh blood and Black Yellow True Qi, would the Divine Ghost Willow have mutated just because of Ling Yun?
To put it bluntly, Ling Yun's last move was nothing more than a quantitative change triggering a qualitative change. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
At this moment, everyone in the Ling Family knelt down in the ancestral hall, their faces full of excitement!
Ling Lie then said excitedly, "Ancestors, from now on, our Ling Family's inheritance can finally be used. There's hope for our Ling Family to rise again!"
After saying that, Ling Lie raised his head and stared at a certain spot on the offering table. His eyes turned red as he looked at the dozens of memorial tablets there.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fifth Brother, Little Sister …"
His voice became choked. "Eighteen years ago, in order to protect the Ling Family and Third Brother from being humiliated by outsiders, all of you fought with your lives on the line. In the end, all of you died in battle … and only my bloodline is left. I … I, Ling Lie, have let all of you down!"
Eighteen years ago, the Ling Family was flourishing. Of course, Ling Lie had uncles and brothers. Just like Ling Yun now, he had a large group of cousins.
"If not …" Ling Lie was already crying. "Today, when our inheritance returns to the Ling Family, all of you … all of you will be able to enjoy its gift! If that's the case, how great would it be! "
Ling Lie suddenly turned his head. "Third Brother, Yun Er, come here and kowtow to our ancestors. Kowtow to these elders who died for the Ling Family and for all of you!"
Ling Xiao and Ling Yun, who were kneeling behind Ling Lie, immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
"First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Aunty … Xiao Er has made a huge mistake. I've let all of you down …"
At this moment, Ling Xiao's emotions were shaken. His eyes were also red and flowing with heroic tears.
Ling Yun was also very shocked. It could be said that the people that Ling Lie mentioned were all from his grandfather's generation or his father's generation. He didn't know a single one of them. He hadn't even heard of their names.
However, just because he didn't know them didn't mean that Ling Xiao didn't know them.
Not only did Ling Xiao know them, but he also remembered them deeply in his heart for the past eighteen years. This was because these people were all his uncles and brothers. They were all his blood relatives. These people had died in battle to protect him.
This was his blood relative, and even more so, his benefactor!
Ling Xiao remembered all of these people in his heart and would never forget them. However, for the past eighteen years, he was the one who burned three joss sticks every morning and evening. He was the one who changed the fruits and desserts on the sacrificial table. He was also the one who silently cleaned the inside and outside of the ancestral hall. He was also the one who kept this place spotless!
It was because Ling Xiao had been doing these things year after year, day after day, that he wasn't so emotional or sad just now.
However, after the Divine Ghost Willow's nourishment, Ling Xiao could no longer suppress the pain in his heart.
Ling Lie was right. If it wasn't for the tragedy eighteen years ago, these people on the memorial tablets wouldn't have died. They would still be alive and well. Perhaps they would be able to wait for the day when the Divine Ghost Willow would nourish them.
Ling Xiao knelt down to pay his respects to the heroes of the Ling Family and his uncles and brothers. His eyes were filled with tears of heroism!
At this moment, Ling Yun truly felt how unforgettable the tragedy eighteen years ago was in the hearts of the Ling Family, in the hearts of Ling Lie, and in the hearts of his father, Ling Xiao!
"Father, don't be sad. It's all in the past! Don't worry, I swear that I'll definitely find the people who killed them all those years ago and place their heads here to pay tribute to my ancestors and avenge them! "
"The blood of our Ling Family will not be shed in vain!"
Ling Yun also kowtowed respectfully. He was afraid that Ling Xiao's state of mind would be unstable due to the pain.
"Third Brother, get up!"
Ling Lie had already stood up. With a wave of his hand, he lifted Ling Xiao up from the ground. Grandpa Ling straightened his back and said sternly, "Yun Er is right. We have to take revenge for them!"
The Ling Family would definitely avenge any grievances and repay any kindness!
Ling Lie had waited for this day for too long. He had been depressed for too long. Now that he heard Ling Yun say that he wanted to take revenge, how could he hold it in?
"Yes, revenge!"
"Revenge! Revenge! "
The juniors of the Ling Family had just broken through a few realms. Their fighting spirit was high, and their blood was boiling. When they heard the word 'revenge', they couldn't hold it in any longer. They all raised their arms and cheered.
Ling Lie turned around and raised his hand to stop the noise. He took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down.
Then, Ling Lie's gaze swept across his sons and the juniors of the Ling Family.
Only then did he say word by word, "Children, in our Ling Family's bloodline, every single one of us has an unyielding spirit. I've already said this before, so I won't repeat it here."
"However, there's another point! I'm going to emphasize it again! "
"After tonight, all of you have been reborn and are much stronger than before. Even the youngest, Xue Er, has reached the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level One. Our Ling Family is strong, and there's hope for our revival. This is a good thing.
"However, Grandpa won't allow any of you to bully others when you go out. I won't allow any of you to fight with others and cause trouble for the family.
"At home, I won't allow any of you to fight openly or secretly! Whoever dares to hurt your own family or your blood brothers for your own selfish reasons! "
At this point, Ling Lie's tone was already extremely stern. "I know that in many big families, brothers will fight each other for power, but that's in other families! Our Ling Family won't allow such a black sheep to appear. If anyone doesn't listen to me, I'll be the first to punish him!
"If I find out about this matter, whoever started it will be punished according to the family rules. Don't blame me for being merciless!"
Ling Lie's voice was sonorous and powerful. Under the powerful aura that he emitted, the dignity and dominance of the family head were on full display.
Then, Ling Lie pointed to the ancestral tablets behind him. "Look carefully! These people are all my cousins, and some of them are my nephews, who are also your father's cousins. However, 18 years ago, for me, for Third Brother, and for our Ling Family to not be bullied by outsiders, all of them fought with their lives on the line! "
"In our Ling Family, as long as one is of the Ling Family's blood, there is no such thing as distance!
"Back then, they sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in exchange for the Ling Family's current status. They didn't even get to enjoy the inheritance of the Ling Family. Instead, it was our Ling Family that enjoyed it. Therefore, if you dare to fight behind my back and kill your brothers, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
At this point, Ling Lie glanced at his eldest son, Ling Zhen, and his eldest grandson, Ling Hao.
Ling Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he saw his father's gaze. "Don't worry, Father. If any of these juniors dare to do anything to ruin the family's reputation, I'll definitely punish them according to the family rules! I won't let you worry! "
At this moment, Ling Hao's legs had turned to jelly. Ling Lie's words had almost caused him to go berserk.
From his point of view, even if Ling Lie's words weren't meant for him to hear, they were meant for him to hear.
Ling Yue, the second son, replied seriously, "I'll follow Father's teachings and take good care of these children in the future."
Ling Xiao lowered his head and said, "Father, the situation you mentioned will definitely not happen to the descendants of the Ling Family."
Ling Lie looked at Ling Xiao and sighed.
His expression relaxed as he said indifferently, "Of course I know what you're saying. What I'm saying now is just to set the rules for you, to remind you in advance and to give you a warning!"
"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, come to my room. We'll have a family banquet. I have something to say then." (To be continued.)
