Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan's love for each other had caused the Ling Family to be almost annihilated eighteen years ago. One was Si Kongtu, and the other was Ling Zhen.
After Si Kongtu was captured alive by Ling Yun, he was tortured to the point where he begged for a quick death. Now, he was chopped into eight pieces by Ling Xiao, and his head was finally cut off.
Ling Xiao killed Si Kongtu without any hesitation or agitation. His expression was calm, and his eyes were indifferent. Even the hand that held the knife didn't tremble at all. He chopped Si Kongtu into eight pieces as if he was chopping up a chicken.
Then, Ling Xiao immediately suggested to Ling Yun that Ling Zhen, who had already escaped from the Ling Family, be killed. He wanted to see Ling Zhen if he was alive, and his corpse if he was dead.
His entire person was calm and composed, and even his tone did not have the slightest fluctuation. There was even a kind of indifference.
Ling Xiao had changed!
That was how every member of the Ling Family felt!
Ling Xiao was no longer dispirited or hesitant. He had broken free from the heavy pain that had tormented him for eighteen years, and he had reforged himself!
He became confident and decisive. He stood there with his back straight, and he exuded a powerful aura!
Before killing Si Kongtu, Ling Xiao even announced that he would go to the Devil Sect with Ling Yun to save Yin Qingxuan and reunite with his family!
This was what Ling Xiao said to Sikong Tu, to everyone present, and even more so, to himself!
Everyone could hear the determination in his words!
Yes, Ling Xiao had once sworn a heavy oath that he would never meet Yin Qingxuan again in this life. However, what difference was there between such an oath and torture?
From the moment he said those words and decided to break his oath, Ling Xiao had finally made his choice. He would no longer be a saint.
Among everyone present, Ling Lie was the one who could feel the change in Ling Xiao the most.
No one knew a son better than a father.
He had seen Ling Xiao kill Si Kongtu and proposed to kill Ling Zhen. Just by looking at Ling Xiao's expression and actions, he was sure that the son he had before the incident eighteen years ago, the one who made him feel the most at ease and proud, had returned!
Of course, the person was always there. What came back was not the person, but the heart.
Afraid of being exposed, Ling Zhen escaped. Ling Xiao, on the other hand, regained his confidence and returned.
Ling Yun returned to the Ling family to acknowledge his ancestors, but Ling Hao was killed by Ling Yun himself.
Ling Lie had worked so hard to find an outstanding grandson, but he had lost one because of that. His eldest son had escaped, but his third son had regained his faith and returned!
"It's all fate …"
Thinking about this, Ling Lie couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Plop!
Ling Xiao suddenly knelt down in front of Ling Lie and said resolutely, "Father, your son has fallen into depravity for so many years. Today, I've woken up and decided to no longer endure. I swear to kill Ling Zhen and take revenge for those who died in the Ling Family! I hope Father can fulfill my wish! "
"Well said, Ling Zhen deserves to die!"
Ling Lie stepped forward and bent down to help Ling Xiao up. "However, that unfilial son's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't track his whereabouts for the time being. We have to think about how to find him next."
In just a few words, Ling Lie had clearly expressed his attitude. Of course, Ling Lie said these words for Ling Yun, who was beside him.
Then, Ling Lie looked at the people in the courtyard and waved his hand. "Alright, leave a few people here to deal with Si Kongtu's body. Everyone else, disperse. If there's anything else, we'll talk tomorrow."
Since Grandpa Ling had spoken, the surrounding people naturally dispersed and returned to their own courtyards.
In the end, only Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, and Ling Yun were left.
"The few of you, follow me back to the house."
After everyone left, Ling Lie raised his hand and left behind a sentence. Then, he went back to his own courtyard.
Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, and Ling Yun looked at each other and followed closely.
"Yun Er, Grandpa won't hide it from you anymore. Regarding Ling Zhen, before Chen Jingtian exposed him, Grandpa hesitated and didn't make it clear to him. This is Grandpa's selfishness. You won't blame Grandpa, right? "
The moment the four of them returned to the house, Ling Lie opened the skylight and couldn't wait to tell Ling Yun everything.
Ling Yun understood immediately that Grandpa Ling was referring to the fact that his old injuries had been healed by Ling Yun. After he reached Xiantian Realm Level Eight, he could completely crush Ling Zhen. However, he hesitated and struggled in his heart. In the end, he didn't interrogate Ling Zhen about this matter.
"Grandpa, I can completely understand your feelings. We're a family, so let's not mention such a small matter in the future."
As the saying went, even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. This was human nature, so how could Ling Yun not understand?
Ling Lie was stunned when he heard this.
He had already opened his mouth and wanted to explain this matter to Ling Yun. However, he didn't expect Ling Yun to simply say that he completely understood. Then, he added that it was a small matter and that he didn't need to mention it in the future. That made him swallow all the words that he had prepared.
He didn't care at all!
That's right, whether it was Ling Lie or Ling Xiao, Ling Yun had never cared about their complicated thoughts. This was because Ling Yun was very clear that everyone had such selfish thoughts. He couldn't change them at all.
Ling Yun only insisted on doing what he had to do. He had decided to kill Ling Zhen. No matter what other people thought, he had to kill him sooner or later!
Ling Yun didn't return home for five days because he wanted to give his family enough time to digest and adjust to this matter in their own way. However, he wouldn't change his own decision.
If it was an abscess, it had to be squeezed out.
What Ling Yun wanted to do was to unite the Ling Family as soon as possible and do what needed to be done. He didn't want to go back and forth on this matter and cause chaos in the Ling Family. That way, the Ling Family would really fall for Chen Jingtian's evil plan.
Now that Ling Xiao's inner demons were gone and Ling Lie had made his decision, Ling Yong was the only one left in the Ling Family. How could he be in the mood to waste time and energy on such a small matter?
For Ling Zhen, the next step was simple. He just had to find him and kill him.
"So you mean that I don't need to explain these things to Grandpa?"
After being stunned for a while, Ling Lie felt a little indignant and couldn't help but ask.
Ling Yun smiled. "Explain? Grandpa, what do you want to explain to me? Explain that my father crippled you and you were seriously injured. That was why you had no choice but to hand over the position of the head of the Ling Family to him even though you suspected that it was Ling Zhen's doing?
"Or explain that you didn't ask Ling Zhen about what happened that year because you didn't want the Ling Family to be in chaos or because you didn't want to kill Ling Zhen after hearing the truth?
"What you've done is the most correct decision. It's human nature. No one could have done it better than you. What else is there to explain?"
…
Ling Lie was completely speechless.
Finally, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Grandpa, Father, Ling Zhen's matter has been bothering you and our Ling Family for many years. Now that the truth has been revealed, we've also issued a kill order. Let's put this matter behind us."
"Speaking of which, we have to thank Chen Jingtian. He exposed Ling Zhen's matter, which is equivalent to removing the festering sore in our family. From today onwards, our Ling Family will no longer have anything that others can use against us. This is a good thing."
"Yun Er is right. After we destroyed the Sun-Chen Alliance and resolved Ling Zhen's matter, our Ling Family has no more internal and external troubles. It's a good thing that we can unite against the outside world."
At this moment, Ling Yue, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up.
"Sigh …"
Ling Lie shook his head and sighed. "At the end of the day, I've thought too much. Since Yun Er can think things through so clearly, let's put this matter behind us."
Ling Lie felt his heart lighten up after saying this. The haze in his heart dissipated by half.
"Then, the four of us should discuss what the Ling Family should do next."
Ling Lie didn't mention Ling Zhen's matter anymore. He changed the topic and began to focus on the future of the Ling Family.
"Hehe, Grandpa, I'll leave these matters to you and Second Uncle. I have more important things to do now." Ling Yun smiled.
Ling Lie looked up. "Oh? What's so important? "
Ling Yun pointed at Ling Xiao. "My father is about to break through to the next realm. We can't wait any longer. I think we should do it tonight."
Ling Xiao had gotten his revenge and regained his confidence. This was the best time for him to break through to the next realm!
Ling Lie slapped his thigh when he heard this. "Cough! Look at how muddle-headed I am. I didn't even care about Xiao Er breaking through to the next realm. "
"Alright, then don't stay here. Hurry up and go to the training room. Do you need me to protect you? "
"Haha, we don't need protection in our own home. You can just rest here."
Ling Yun and Ling Xiao stood up at the same time and bade farewell to Ling Lie. The two of them went straight to the training room.
"Father, it doesn't matter which realm you're at. Just let nature take its course. The key is to open the Hidden Latch between your eyebrows and have divine sense."
Ling Yun reminded Ling Xiao again and again when they arrived at the training room.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Silly child, your grandfather and Auntie Green Bird have told me about this many times. Don't worry."
"Then, shall we begin now?"
"Let's begin!"
Ling Yun first used the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse Ling Xiao's meridians and marrow, forcing out the impurities in his body. Then, he used two Water Talismans to cleanse Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao naturally entered Xiantian Realm Level Seven and reached the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Seven in one go!
Then, Ling Yun took out the dragon saliva and the Dragon Tiger Pill for Ling Xiao to consume. He also burned a hundred drops of Divine Energy to help Ling Xiao open the Hidden Latch between his eyebrows.
Finally, with Ling Yun's help, Ling Xiao easily advanced to Divine Power Level One and gained a powerful divine sense! (To be continued.)
