August 6th, the second night.
… …
"Ling Zhen deserves to be killed!"
Ye Xingchen looked at Ling Yun's expression and knew that he wanted to kill Ling Zhen, so he comforted him. "However, since the truth has been revealed and Ling Zhen has been exposed, he's now a stray dog. Your cultivation is far superior to his, so he won't be able to cause much trouble outside. There's no need to worry about him."
To Ling Yun, Ling Zhen wouldn't be a match for him even if he cultivated with all his might. He was indeed not a threat.
Ling Yun was worried about his family.
That year, when the truth was revealed, Ling Zhen was exposed. The previous head of the Ling Family was actually the culprit who harmed his brother, causing the Ling Family to almost be annihilated. This matter was a heavy blow to the Ling Family!
That was because this matter involved three generations of the Ling Family. Among them, Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, and Ling Yong were the three most important figures!
Ling Yun was clear that two months ago, when he rescued Ling Yue and the Ling Family was attacked by the Japanese ninjas sent by the Chen Family, Ling Lie had already reached Xiantian Realm Level Eight with his help.
After Ling Lie reached Xiantian Realm Level Eight, he had already regained control of the Ling Family. He had plenty of time and opportunities to dig up the truth and force Ling Zhen to admit to it.
However, Ling Lie didn't.
Part of the reason was that Ling Lie cared about his father-son relationship. The other reason was probably that the incident had already happened eighteen years ago, and many people had already forgotten about it. Ling Zhen had been behaving fairly well all these years. Thus, as long as no one brought it up, Ling Lie wanted to bury this matter. After all, this was the Ling Family's pain and shame.
However, the truth couldn't be concealed forever. Ling Yun heard it with his own ears. It was impossible for Ling Lie to magnify his son's reputation.
Ling Lie had to express his stance on this matter sooner or later even if he didn't want to face it!
As for Ling Xiao, Ling Yun only needed to think about his father's character and the fact that he hadn't exposed Ling Zhen's true colors for such a long time. It seemed like his father had chosen the latter between hatred and brotherly love.
Just tonight, when Chen Jingtian was about to reveal Ling Zhen's true identity, Ling Xiao's first reaction was to stop him, to stop him from speaking. He didn't want Chen Jingtian to reveal this matter.
Ling Xiao placed great importance on brotherly love. Even though he had his own difficulties and knew that Ling Zhen was the one who had harmed him, he could only bear it silently. He didn't want to deal with his elder brother, and he didn't want his son to deal with his elder brother.
As for Ling Yong, there was no need to mention him. He was probably the one who was suffering the most!
Because Ling Zhen was his biological father, he had personally heard what Ling Zhen had done to the Ling Family and Second Uncle Ling Xiao. How could he bear it?
Furthermore, Ling Hao had just died not long ago, and the pain in his heart had yet to completely subside. In the end, an even greater blow came. Chen Jingtian's words were akin to being struck by lightning!
That was his biological father!
How was Ling Yong going to face his Second Uncle Ling Xiao and Ling Yun if he knew about this?
If the Ling Family decided to hunt down Ling Zhen and punish him for his crimes, what would Ling Yong do?
Ling Yun knew that it was because of these reasons that the three of them didn't know how to face him. They took advantage of the time when he went out to pursue and kill Ling Zhen to settle the matter with the Chen Family and then left in a hurry.
"No wonder you didn't return home immediately after destroying the Sun and Chen Families. Instead, you came here."
Ye Xingchen was smart and naturally thought of this. Seeing that Ling Yun was silent, she opened her mouth and said, "The Ling Family should be in a mess now, right?"
Ling Yun shook his head decisively. "No, with my Second Uncle around, the Ling Family won't be in a mess."
Ling Yue was the brains of the Ling Family. He was completely on Ling Yun's side now. Even if he knew about this matter, he would definitely handle it appropriately. However, he needed time.
"I didn't come here to avoid anything. I just don't want to meet my grandfather, father, and Ling Yong for the time being. They all need time to face themselves. They need time to figure out how to face this matter. I don't want to put pressure on them."
Ling Yun said that he wasn't escaping anything. In fact, he knew very well that he was also escaping from his family. He could feel the strong familial kinship and the immense pressure this matter brought him!
If Ling Yun was like this, what about the three of them?
He clearly remembered Ling Lie's grief, his father's struggle, and Ling Yong's pain when Chen Jingtian revealed Ling Zhen's true colors!
Ye Xingchen nodded. "That's good too. This is indeed a huge matter for the Ling Family. It can't be avoided. Moreover, this matter concerns three generations of the Ling Family. If it isn't handled well, there will be endless trouble! Therefore, we can only let everyone digest this matter slowly and wait for everyone to calm down before we talk about it. "
Ling Yun smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "That's the only way for now."
"Therefore, I'm now a homeless child. Please take me in for a while, beautiful lady."
Ling Yun didn't mention Ling Zhen's matter at all. He changed the topic and pitifully asked Ye Xingchen to take him in.
"Pfft!"
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh at Ling Yun. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ling Yun. "Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll take you in."
Ling Yun was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that his pitiful attack had finally worked.
He immediately sat back down on the bamboo chair and continued to drink his tea calmly.
After finishing another cup of tea, Ling Yun slowly put down the teacup. Then, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Xingchen, mobilize all your intelligence network to investigate Ling Zhen's whereabouts. Don't let go of any clues. I need to know where he went."
Ye Xingchen had already sat down. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. Leave this matter to me."
She continued to pour more tea for Ling Yun and a cup for herself. Then, she asked with great interest, "Can you tell me now? Tonight's life and death battle, why did it last so long? What happened on your side? "
The deathmatch had started at eight o 'clock. Ye Xingchen only received news from Ling Yun when it was close to midnight. Ye Xingchen had waited bitterly for the past four hours. She was very worried for Ling Yun. She even decided that if there was still no news from Ling Yun after midnight, she would rush to the Assassins Organization's branch in the capital to personally find out what had happened.
Everyone had the same thought. This kind of battle didn't need to last that long because it wasn't a sparring match but a deathmatch.
"This deathmatch was very thrilling. Listen to me."
Thus, Ling Yun began to describe the entire process of the deathmatch as he drank his tea. Because he needed to exchange information with Ye Xingchen, his narration was very detailed. When he got to the last three thrilling battles, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but gasp in surprise!
Ling Yun fought one against five people twice, fought the Yamata no Orochi twice, Chen Jingxuan possessed the Blood Element Pearl, and the Underworld Blood Demonic Dragon devoured the Yamata no Orochi's soul …
If not for the fact that Ye Xingchen already knew the outcome and that Ling Yun was sitting right in front of her unscathed, she wouldn't just be gasping in surprise.
After half an hour, Ling Yun finally finished explaining the entire process of the deathmatch. Even though he was drinking tea, his mouth was still parched from all the talking.
Finally, Ling Yun said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for providing me with the information before the battle. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid enough attention to it, and I definitely wouldn't have made enough preparations. This battle would have been really hard to predict!"
"Since you've been injured so many times, your clothes should be very tattered. Why are you still fine?"
Ye Xingchen ignored Ling Yun's words of gratitude. She looked Ling Yun up and down and couldn't help but ask in bewilderment.
"I've changed my clothes. This is my other set of clothes."
Ling Yun smiled casually. Then, with a thought, he took out the combat robe he wore during the battle. "Look, this is the set of clothes I wore during the battle."
Ye Xingchen took it and unfolded the set of clothes. When she saw that the clothes were riddled with holes and tattered beyond recognition, she was instantly shocked. She understood how dangerous Ling Yun's battle had been!
However, seeing that the clothes were so tattered and Ling Yun hadn't thrown them away, she felt a trace of indescribable joy in her heart.
"I'll mend them for you."
As she spoke, Ye Xingchen actually put the set of clothes into her spatial ring with a thought.
Ling Yun only smiled. He reminded her, "Xingchen, you must be careful when you fight the Japanese Kage Ninjas in the future. Don't underestimate them.
"They can summon ferocious beasts like the Yamata no Orochi to fight for them through sacrificial techniques. That Yamata no Orochi is really terrifying!"
"I know!"
Ye Xingchen knew that Ling Yun had recounted the battle in such detail just to remind her of this. She couldn't help but smile and agree.
"However, you've killed five experts from the Heavenly Group in one go tonight. Be careful of the people from the Heavenly Group coming after you. Even though it was a deathmatch, the people from the Heavenly Group definitely won't take this lying down."
Ling Yun reminded her, and she didn't forget to remind Ling Yun.
Ling Yun nodded with a smile. "I understand, but I'm in the right. No matter how shameless the people from the Huaxia Heavenly Group are, they should at least be reasonable, right?"
Ling Yun already knew that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Huaxia. Compared to before, he had become a lot more cautious.
Tonight, he had wanted to crush the Sun-Chen Alliance in one go. He didn't expect that not only would he not be able to do so, but the last two battles would be extremely dangerous and he would even be injured. At that moment, he no longer underestimated the heroes of Huaxia.
"Xingchen, there are two more things I have to tell you."
"Tonight, during the battle, I used my divine sense to its limit many times. In the end, I felt that someone was spying on me from the sky!"
"Someone could actually hover in the air for such a long time!"
Ling Yun said solemnly. "My intuition can't be wrong. The opponent is definitely a super expert whose realm is far higher than mine!"
"Also, there's one more thing. Do you know how Chen Jingtian died? He was killed by a flying sword when he was about to reveal the secret of the Long Family and the Ye Family. It was the opponent who cut off his head with a sword from a distance of five hundred meters! As for that person, I couldn't catch up with him even after using all my strength. He could actually use Sword Kinesis Flight! "
