Ling Lie closed his eyes!
Ling Lie's realm was the highest among the Ling Family members. He had already broken through to the Divine Realm in the ancestral hall.
Even before Ling Lie broke through to the Divine Realm, he would have been able to stop Ling Hao from hurting Ling Yong with his Xiantian Realm Level Eight cultivation.
All Ling Lie had to do was raise his hand and release a gust of wind, using his Xiantian Qi to seal the blood vessels in Ling Hao's arm. Ling Hao would be immobilized on the spot. How could he use Ling Yong to threaten the Ling Family?
However, Ling Lie didn't do that. Ling Zhen could guess that Ling Hao wanted to survive. Grandpa Ling Lie was almost eighty years old. How could he not have thought of this?
As a grandfather, he knew that Ling Hao had committed a heinous crime, but subconsciously, he still hoped that Ling Hao could escape with Ling Yong's help and leave the Ling Family.
If Ling Lie made a move and Ling Hao couldn't move, he wouldn't be able to escape. In that case, based on the crimes he had committed, according to the Ling Family's rules, it would be more than enough to kill him five times over. No one could save him.
If Ling Lie didn't make a move, and if Ling Yun could consider the feelings of the Ling Family and take a step back to give Ling Hao the chance to leave, Ling Hao's life would be spared tonight.
At the very least, Ling Hao wouldn't die in front of Ling Lie.
That was Ling Lie's true thought before Ling Yun made his move.
Ling Lie couldn't be blamed for having such thoughts. After all, both of them were his grandsons. Both of them were his flesh and blood!
Although it was said that there were rules in the family, they were just like the law. They were mainly used for prevention and warning. If a child really made a big mistake, beating and teaching them a lesson was unavoidable. However, if one really wanted to kill one's own child, that kind of determination was really not easy to make. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.
Moreover, everyone in the Ling Family wasn't stupid. Ling Lie and Ling Zhen weren't the only ones who had such thoughts. Even Ling Xiao and Ling Yue had the same thought.
Ling Hao might be heartless, but the Ling Family couldn't be!
Since Ling Hao had gone all out just to save his own life, Ling Hao would be spared and allowed to escape from the Ling Family. Even if Ling Yun really wanted to kill him, at least he wouldn't die in front of everyone in the Ling Family.
Moreover, Ling Yun was still alive and well, wasn't he?
However, everyone present had underestimated Ling Yun's character and his determination to kill Ling Hao!
What was Ling Yun's personality?
Vengeance must be taken, and kindness must be repaid!
Since you've killed me five times, I'll kill you once. If you can escape, then you have the ability. If you can't, then sorry, I can only say that you deserve it!
Therefore, if Ling Hao hadn't taken Ling Yong hostage, Ling Yun wouldn't have been able to take action. However, if he had taken Ling Yong hostage, it would have given Ling Yun the perfect reason to kill him!
Care about other people's feelings? If Ling Yun really wanted to kill someone, why would he care about what others thought?
Ling Hao was so deranged and unrepentant. It didn't matter if he stayed in the Ling Family or if he escaped, there would be no end of trouble for Ling Yun!
As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief in one's own house. Ling Yun did not have the time or energy to be on the lookout for sinister people like Ling Hao.
Therefore, Ling Yun acted decisively and killed Ling Hao to get rid of any future troubles for the Ling Family!
"Hao Er!"
Ling Zhen felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at Ling Hao's dismembered body. He flew up and landed in front of Ling Hao. Squatting down, he hugged Ling Hao's head with his trembling hands!
"Big Brother! Big Brother! "
Ling Yong's personality was bold and forthright. Coupled with the fact that he was being held hostage, he didn't have time to think about such things. Seeing Ling Hao die beside him, he couldn't care less about the fact that Ling Hao had used him as a hostage. He immediately knelt on the ground and wailed at Ling Hao's corpse.
"Big Brother, it's not that I don't want to save you. It's just that you've made a huge mistake this time …"
Ling Yong was an upright person. Even though Ling Hao was killed by Ling Yun, he knew that according to the family rules, Ling Hao deserved at least three deaths. Therefore, he didn't blame Ling Yun. He was just sad.
"Ling Yun, kneel down! Kowtow to your uncle and admit your guilt! "
Ling Xiao wanted to save Ling Hao's life. That was why he stood in front of Ling Hao. However, before he could react, Ling Hao had already been beheaded by Ling Yun.
Ling Xiao was shocked to see Ling Hao killed by Ling Yun. His first reaction was to tell Ling Yun to kneel down and admit his guilt to Ling Zhen.
Ling Xiao and Ling Zhen were biological brothers. They grew up together. Ling Xiao knew Ling Zhen's character very well. His own son killed Ling Zhen's son in front of him. Even if Ling Zhen didn't say anything on the spot, he definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate Ling Yun.
This would definitely be a dead knot that couldn't be untied.
Ling Zhen had been the head of the Ling Family for 18 years. He had worked hard to build up his own power. If he wanted to avenge Ling Hao, wouldn't the Ling Family fall apart and fall into chaos?!
Therefore, Ling Xiao was helping his son by scolding him. This was what a father should do.
"Father, I won't kneel because I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I kneel?" Ling Yun replied in a low voice.
"A few months ago, when I was just starting out in Qingshui, it was because of Ling Hao that every step I took was filled with difficulties. How many times have I been on the brink of death?
"In just eight days, Ling Hao sent people to assassinate me five times. In the end, he even hired three Heaven-ranked assassins from the Assassins Organization. Do you know how much Ling Hao offered to kill me? Two hundred million US dollars!
Two hundred million US dollars to kill his cousin! That's what Ling Hao does!
"You only saw me kill him today. Do you know how I dealt with it alone when he sent people to kill me? How many times did I almost die? How do I feel when I'm being hunted for no reason?! "
"Do you know that I was only at Houtian Realm Level Three then? Do you know how I survived facing three Heaven-ranked assassins from the Assassins Organization?
"If it weren't for your son's life-saving skills, he would have been killed by Ling Hao a long time ago. How would he be able to return to his roots then?"
Ling Yun's voice was sonorous and powerful because what he said was the truth.
When Ling Hao offered fifty million US dollars to hire Earth-ranked assassin Di Ba to kill Ling Yun, Ling Yun was only at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Level Three. He relied on the spiritual energy of the Shichiyou herb and the sharpness of the Emperor Brush to defeat Di Ba.
On the night of the Qingming Festival, Ling Yun went to Zhuang Tiande's house to rescue Zhuang Meifeng. With the help of Dugu Mo and Miao Xiao Miao, he almost succeeded. However, three Heaven-ranked assassins came and beat Ling Yun until he almost died on the spot. If it weren't for the Emperor Brush and the Immortal Spiritual Energy, Ling Yun would have been dead.
"Ling Hao killed me five times, but you didn't see it. I killed him once, and you saw it."
"Just because you saw it, you don't feel good. You want me to kowtow and admit my guilt? Father, how can there be such logic in this world?"
Ling Yun's logic, if applied to an ordinary person, would be like a person borrowing money from others. If he tried to borrow money five times and the other person lent him the money, he would be extremely grateful. On the other hand, if the other person didn't lend him the money even once or urged him to return the money, he would be filled with resentment and blame the other person for not being loyal enough.
It was difficult to borrow money from others when one lacked money, but who would hear the bitterness of the person who borrowed money from others?
Of course, this was just an analogy, but the meaning was basically the same.
Ling Yun's meaning was simple. If you were there when Ling Hao sent people to kill me five times, then you would think that it was natural for me to kill him today.
His life is a life, but mine is a life? You can't see it, but do you think I don't know? Now that I've found the real killer and have the ability to kill him, do I have to spare his life?
Ling Yun's logic made Ling Xiao furious. He knew that his son was speaking the truth. How could he not understand his son's grievances and anger?
However, in order for the Ling Family to not fall into chaos, Ling Xiao could only let his son suffer. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, even if what you said is right, you still killed your cousin in front of your uncle. You will not be able to escape punishment!"
Ling Zhen hadn't said anything since Ling Yun killed Ling Hao, but Ling Yun and his son started arguing.
As for the other members of the Ling Family, they were completely silent in the face of this sudden situation. They could not interrupt, nor did they dare to.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ling Lie slammed his hand on the table!
"Shut up, Third Brother!"
"Yun Er, you're right!"
"I asked Ling Hao to find Ling Yun's whereabouts, but he didn't report it. He even picked some irrelevant people to delay time. This is a crime!"
"Ling Hao hired people to assassinate his own brother for his own selfish reasons. This is inhumane. This is a crime!"
"Ling Yun found the real culprit and confronted Ling Hao face to face. However, Ling Hao denied everything and refused to repent. These are the three sins!
"He dared to enter the Ling Family's ancestral hall with a knife and humiliated the ancestors. This is a crime!"
"Ling Yong is his biological brother. Seeing that he can't escape punishment, he knelt down and begged for mercy for him. Ling Hao actually held his own brother hostage with a knife in an attempt to escape punishment. He's insane! These are the five crimes!
Ling Lie listed out Ling Hao's five major crimes in one breath. His face turned green as he said, "These five major crimes are punishable by death under the Ling Family's rules!"
"Even if Ling Yun doesn't kill him now, I will personally execute the family rules and kill this unfilial son on the spot!"
"Ling Hao deserved to die! Ling Yun killing Ling Hao for revenge was a matter of course. He killing Ling Hao was punishing him on my behalf! He even saved me from the negative karma of personally killing my grandson. What did he do wrong?! "
Ling Lie took on all the responsibilities in an instant.
Ling Hao was dead, and the dead couldn't come back to life.
However, as the head of the family, Ling Lie had to consider the living. He had to ensure that the Ling Family didn't fall into chaos!
Ling Lie understood Ling Yun's character. If he continued arguing with his father, Ling Yun would definitely leave in a fit of pique.
If Ling Zhen couldn't tolerate Ling Yun killing his son, he would deal with Ling Yun in the dark. Wouldn't the Ling Family be in trouble?
At this time, Ling Zhen had already sorted out Ling Hao's corpse. He stood up slowly with his back facing the crowd. (To be continued.)
