After laying the groundwork for so long, the real climax was finally here! The Long Family's interference, Ling Yun's rage, and the rest of the plot would be exciting until the end of the month!
… …
The Ling Family's training room was in the eighth courtyard, and behind it was the ninth courtyard.
Under Cui Lao's accompaniment, Ling Yun quickly arrived at Ling Lie's courtyard and met him.
Ling Lie was pacing back and forth in the courtyard alone. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and struggle. He only relaxed a little when he saw Ling Yun enter.
Ling Yun greeted Ling Lie the moment he entered. "Grandpa."
"Yun Er, you're out of seclusion? Come, follow Grandpa into the house. "
Ling Lie stepped forward, grabbed Ling Yun's hand, and strode directly into his house.
Cui Lao naturally followed closely behind and entered Ling Lie's house.
Once inside, Ling Yun noticed that there were a few things neatly arranged on the square table in Ling Lie's house.
There were two thick documents, two letters, and even a few keys.
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used his divine sense to scan the two documents and the two letters. He understood something, but he didn't ask immediately.
After entering the house, Ling Lie sat on the armchair on the east side of the square table, picked up the two documents, and passed them to Ling Yun.
"Yun Er, take a look. These are the deathmatch documents sent by the Sun Family and Chen Family."
The deathmatch documents were, of course, letters of challenge.
Ling Yun held the two documents in his hands because they were too thick. Each document added up to at least seven to eight centimeters thick. It was obvious that they were very formal.
They were slightly heavy in his hands.
These were two letters of challenge to determine the life and death of the three big families.
Ling Yun held the two letters of challenge with one hand and flipped through a few pages with the other. Then, he spread out his divine sense and looked at them seriously for a while.
His expression was calm, and he was very calm.
Ling Lie said, "Yun Er, these are the standard letters of challenge for the deathmatch between the big families of Huaxia. The basic format and content are similar. In short, it's a battle to determine life and death.
"The document at the bottom belongs to the Chen Clan, while the one at the top belongs to the Sun Clan. These two documents were drafted by your second uncle, Ling Yue, and were officially signed the day after you went into seclusion."
"The contents of the document are not important. At the end of the day, it's just a battle to decide life and death! Both sides will fight to the death. The winner will get whatever he wants, and the loser will naturally have nothing to speak of. "
Ling Yun nodded his head and replied with a soft "hmm". Then, he placed the two letters of challenge back on the table.
Ling Lie's face darkened as he spoke. "That's not the main point. The main point is that everything is as you expected. The Sun and Chen Families have arranged for the death duel to be held on the same day, which is the end of this month!"
Before Ling Yun officially went into seclusion, he had already told Ling Lie about the news he had received from Ye Xingchen. He specifically reminded Ling Lie that if the Sun Family really wanted to have a life-and-death battle with the Ling Family, there was no need to reject it.
From the looks of it now, the information Ye Xingchen had gathered was very accurate.
Ling Yun smiled faintly, but a cold murderous intent surfaced in his eyes. After a flash, he smiled and asked, "Both on the 31st of August?"
Ling Lie was obviously not as calm as Ling Yun appeared to be. He nodded his head heavily and let out a long breath. Then, he said, "That's right!"
Then, he gritted his teeth and slammed the octagonal table angrily. "The Sun and Chen Families publicly announced their alliance right after signing the letter of challenge. That's too shameless! They're going too far! "
Who knew that Ling Yue would smile brightly and say, "Grandpa, since we already expected this, why are you so angry? It's not worth it! "
After advising Ling Lie, Ling Yun's smile faded, and his tone became cold. "Since the two families are willing to die on the same day, I'll grant them their wish! Otherwise, it'll save us trouble! "
At this moment, Cui Lao suddenly interrupted and said, "Family Head, you might not know this, but after the Sun and Chen Families publicly announced their alliance, they also secretly announced that they were going to fight to the death with the Ling Family."
Right now, the entire situation in Beijing is very disadvantageous to the Ling Family. "
Ling Yun turned his head and looked at Cui Lao. With a smile, he asked, "After these few days of fermentation, it has become a one-sided situation, right?"
Cui Lao's expression was solemn as he nodded his head. "That's right."
Ling Yun heard this and looked past Cui Lao. Through the door, he seemed to see the scene in the front yard. At this moment, there were noisy arguments coming from there, and the scene was a mess.
Now, Ling Yue was dealing with everything by himself. That was why Ling Yun's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
It seemed that Ling Yun's calmness had infected Ling Lie. After Ling Lie's speech, his anger was vented, and he gradually calmed down.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Yun Er, Grandpa knows that this battle is actually the battle for the rise of the Ling Family.
"Since we want to rise, we have to go through the baptism of blood and fire. Otherwise, there's no way to talk about rising.
"Now that things have come to this, it's useless to say anything. All that's left is to fight.
"Grandpa has seen everything you've done for the Ling Family these few days. I also know that you're more or less prepared, but …"
When Ling Yun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He noticed that the old master's body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with an inexplicable resentment!
He saw Ling Lie turn his body slightly and raise his slightly trembling hand to pick up a thin letter on the table before passing it to Ling Yun.
Ling Lie avoided Ling Yun's gaze, and his voice trembled as he said angrily, "There's a new change in this matter."
The Long Family has interfered.
Ling Yun laughed coldly in his heart as he took the letter and opened it. He took out a plain white piece of paper.
On that plain white paper, there were only eight big words.
"I advise the Ling Family to value peace."
Further down was the signature. The name of the person who signed it was Long Haoran.
The words were written in a flamboyant style.
It said to value peace, but no matter how Ling Yun looked at it, he could see a domineering and domineering intent in these eight words.
Ling Yun frowned and didn't care about the content. He only asked, "Grandpa, who is this Long Haoran? Why is he so f * cking arrogant? "
Ling Lie remained silent.
Cui Lao's body trembled as he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He said softly, "Master, Long Haoran is the current master of the Long Family."
"F * ck, so what if he's the master of the Long Family?"
Ling Yun rolled his eyes and laughed coldly. "He's also the master of the Long Family, and so am I. We're all masters of the Long Family. Why is he even more arrogant than me?"
Ling Yun was very unhappy because he could tell from Ling Lie's expression and Cui Lao's reaction that the Long Family's interference in this matter was giving them a lot of pressure!
This kind of pressure was simply devastating!
For the past ten days, all the preparations that Ling Yun had painstakingly made, the brand-new situation that he had brought to the Ling Family, and the soaring morale that they had painstakingly built up, could be completely destroyed by Long Haoran's words!
Ling Yun was instantly enraged at this thought!
Ling Yun realized that the Ling Family would be in big trouble if this matter wasn't handled well!
He waved the letter casually and asked Cui Lao in a deep voice, "Cui Lao, who sent this letter?"
Cui Lao saw Ling Yun's unfriendly expression and knew that he was really angry. He replied hurriedly, "Master, the person from the Long Family is Long Haoran's cousin. His name is Long Haoqiang, and he's a half step into Xiantian Ninth Stage expert."
"Hmph!"
Ling Yun snorted coldly and rebuked, "Sending a half step into Xiantian Ninth Stage expert to my house to deliver a letter is obviously a show of force! Why didn't you break his legs for me? "
It was only because Ling Yun was in seclusion that he didn't know about this matter. If he had known about it, he would have broken both of Long Haoqiang's legs without hesitation!
"Ugh …"
Cui Lao sweated profusely when he heard this. How could the legs of a member of the Long Family be broken so easily?
"Yun Er, don't spout nonsense."
At this moment, Ling Lie finally spoke. He looked at Ling Yun and sighed in his heart. "Yun Er, no matter what, the Long Family has been a benefactor to our Ling Family. The Long Family is the number one family in Huaxia. Now that the three big families in Beijing are about to have a life-and-death battle, it's only natural that the Long Family wants to intervene.
"Moreover, the Long Family didn't specifically say anything about our Ling Family. They just want to mediate and make peace."
Ling Lie's explanation was naturally to appease Ling Yun's anger.
However, Ling Yun was in a fit of anger and couldn't listen to any of this. He snorted coldly and argued, "Grandpa, the Long Family is a benefactor to our Ling Family, so we should repay them. However, they want us to make peace, which is obviously bullying our Ling Family!
"Also, if the Long Family really wanted to make peace, they should have gathered the three big families and persuaded them at the same time. That would be fair and reasonable. What right does he have to deliver a letter to our Ling Family alone?
"Moreover, what I'm most annoyed about is the tone of Long Haoran's letter. He even talked about persuading the Ling Family to make peace. What the f * ck is that?"
Ling Yun flipped out!
Cui Lao couldn't help but wipe his sweat when he heard Ling Yun's rebuttal. According to Ling Yun's temper, he would have broken Long Haoqiang's legs if he had seen this letter. Without a doubt.
"Grandpa, what did that grandson Long Haoqiang say to you?" Ling Yun asked again.
Ling Lie knew that the Long Family's actions had really angered his precious grandson.
He pondered hard, choosing his words carefully, and said in a low voice, "Long Haoqiang didn't say anything, but he insisted on seeing you. However, you were in seclusion at that time, so I used that as an excuse to stop him."
"Before he left, he told me to read the letter and think about it seriously for a night. He also asked us to give the Long Family an answer tomorrow."
Ling Yun laughed coldly when he heard that.
"Very well, since the Long Family has intervened, I'll give them an answer soon!"
