"Big Brother, what happened just now?"
Ning Lingyu had her hands behind her back as she stared at the spot where the purplish-gold cloud had disappeared. She couldn't help but ask when she saw Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was surprised. Could it be that the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book had blocked Ning Lingyu's vision and divine sense when they fought for the Heavenly Dao's Gift?
However, this wasn't the time to talk about this. He immediately said, "Lingyu, your Heavenly Tribulation caused quite a commotion and must have alarmed many people. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's leave this place first."
With that, Ling Yun nodded at Ning Lingyu and flew towards the northeast on his Green Shadow Flying Sword.
Seeing this, Ning Lingyu immediately followed. She flew directly in the air, and her speed was no slower than Ling Yun's.
Indeed, not long after the two of them left, a few figures flew over from all directions in Beijing.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …
The first four people to arrive at Ning Lingyu's Heavenly Tribulation were flying so fast that they didn't stop. All of them hovered in the air silently, sizing up the place.
"What do you think, Chief Long?"
Ye Qingfeng stood in the air with his hands behind his back. After observing the surroundings, he asked someone in the distance.
"Hmph, Ye Qingfeng, why are you still asking me when you already know?"
The head of the Long Family, Long Haoran, sensed that someone was undergoing Heavenly Tribulation and flew over without hesitation. Who knew that he would be a step too late? How could he have anything good to say?
"Hehe, someone is undergoing Heavenly Tribulation indeed. Moreover, the commotion was so big that it alarmed us. It seems like the situation just now wasn't small at all. It's a pity that we're too late."
Someone sighed and tried to smooth things over. It was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Team, Zhou Wenyi. He was full of smiles as he didn't want to offend either side.
"Hmph, I wonder who gave him the guts to undergo Heavenly Tribulation right beside Beijing. Isn't he afraid of causing trouble? How audacious! "
The last person on the scene spoke. He was obviously annoyed, and his voice was loud and clear.
"Please calm down, Mr. Zhao. Now that the spiritual energy in Huaxia is scarce, it means that we have another cultivator in the middle stages of Qi Cultivation. This is a good thing."
Zhou Wenyi smiled as he spoke. He was very polite to the angry Mr. Zhao.
"Something good?" Long Haoran suddenly smiled. He glanced at Zhou Wenyi, who had been helping to smooth things over, and coldly said, "I don't think so."
By now, Long Haoran had already received the news that Zhou Wenyi had gone to the Ling Family during the day to ask for Zhou Wenyi, but he had returned empty-handed without accomplishing anything. It was obvious that Zhou Wenyi was not on the same side as him and did not make a move against the Ling Family.
In the face of Long Haoran's obvious displeasure, Zhou Wenyi only smiled and pretended not to hear him.
"Could it really be that kid? It's impossible for him to cultivate so fast, right? "
Ye Qingfeng spoke again. His purpose was clear, and he directly pulled the topic back.
When the other three people heard this, they all had different reactions.
Long Haoran's expression turned even uglier as he let out a cold harrumph. He was so angry that his nostrils were about to emit smoke.
Of course, he knew who Ye Qingfeng was referring to by "that kid". Ling Yun had absorbed so much Dragon Energy in the Forbidden City the day before yesterday. It was really possible for him to suddenly advance and break through.
Zhou Wenyi was calm and completely shut up. He couldn't see through Ling Yun's realm at all. However, from the looks of it during the day, Ling Yun didn't look like he was going through the tribulation. He felt that the person undergoing the tribulation wasn't Ling Yun.
However, if it wasn't Ling Yun, then who could it be? Could it be …
A person suddenly appeared in Zhou Wenyi's mind. His eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.
"Hmph, I don't care who is undergoing the tribulation. I, Zhao Xingwu, hope that the three of you can understand that no matter which family in Beijing is undergoing the tribulation, they should stay far away from Beijing! I'm leaving! "
"Whoosh!"
Zhao Xingwu threw a cold sentence and instantly turned around. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a small dot in the night sky and then disappeared.
"Hehe, this Old Zhao has been accompanying that person all these years. I didn't expect to see him today, and it seems like his temper has grown …"
Ye Qingfeng saw that Zhao Xingwu had left, but he wasn't moved.
"He's the number one person in the Dragon Group, that's normal."
Zhou Wenyi smiled and then smiled. Then, he twirled his beard and smiled. "Take your time, two family heads. Since there's nothing else here, I'll take my leave first."
Zhou Wenyi casually said goodbye to the two of them and was about to leave.
"Mr. Zhou, please wait. I have something to say."
Long Haoran's figure suddenly flashed across the void and appeared in front of Zhou Wenyi, blocking his way.
Zhou Wenyi sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Oh? Is there anything else, Family Head Long? "
He was asking a question that he already knew the answer to.
Long Haoran stopped Zhou Wenyi. Just as he was about to speak, he scanned the area with his divine sense and found that Ye Qingfeng was still standing in the same place, looking around at the night sky. Judging from his posture, he had no intention of leaving.
Long Haoran was furious and could only invite Zhou Wenyi to another place to talk. But after thinking about it, he smiled and asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Zhou went to the Ling Family today to ask for someone. What was the result?"
The Ye Family also had people in the Heaven Group. Long Haoran knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from the Ye Family, so he might as well speak frankly.
In the distance, Ye Qingfeng's eyes flashed and he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Oh, I thought it was something big. So this is what Family Head Long is concerned about?"
Zhou Wenyi first laughed and then said seriously, "The Ling Family and the Sun and Chen Families had a battle of life and death. Five people from the Heaven Group went to help the Sun and Chen Families, but everyone knows the result. Five died and one was injured. The one who was injured was Di Yutang from the Sky Mountain Heavenly Sword Sect. He was captured alive by the Ling Family."
Zhou Wenyi was neither servile nor overbearing. He first stated the facts and then changed the topic, "After my Heaven Group received the news, this old man, as the Chief Grand Elder of the Heaven Group, naturally had to go and ask for someone. That's why I made a trip there today. However, the Ling Family said that the Ling Family had their own arrangements on how to deal with Di Yutang. It wasn't good for this old man to interfere, so I could only give up."
Zhou Wenyi was worthy of being the Chief Grand Elder of the Heaven Group. When he was reprimanded by Long Haoran, he first stated the facts and then finished what he had to do. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing, so Long Haoran couldn't find any evidence against him.
"What?!"
When Long Haoran heard this, his voice immediately rose by an octave. He said in a deep voice, "We can only give up? Five deaths and one injury in the Heaven Group. Such a big thing happened, and you guys actually treat it as if nothing happened? Are you going to just go through the motions and be done with it? "
"That's a matter for my Heaven Squad. I'm afraid it's not up to Patriarch Long to decide how we should deal with it, right?"
Long Haoran was anxious, and was immediately caught by Zhou Wenyi. He bluntly retorted Long Haoran, and then said indifferently, "It just so happens that Patriarch Ye is also present at this moment. If you want to talk about the capital of China, the three of us can be considered suitable to sit together and talk. Since it's a coincidence, this old man will say a few more words."
"The Sun and Chen families have been unjust for many years, and were destroyed in an instant. The Ling family has seized the opportunity to rise, and it is inevitable that they will rise. In the current capital, the situation of the three great families has already been formed. I believe that the two Patriarchs should be clearer about this than this old man, right?"
Ye Qingfeng nodded after hearing this. Long Haoran remained silent. It was obvious that he had tacitly agreed.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. The Heaven Squad only exists to protect the country. You and I both know that when the country doesn't have a mission, everyone goes their own way. The Heaven Squad never interferes with each other's grudges and killings, right?"
"This old man went to the Ling Family to ask for someone, but the Ling Family only used this to shut my mouth. Patriarch Long, what else can this old man say? What else can I do?
"Could it be that the Long Family wants to see my Heaven Squad clash with the Ling Family again and engage in a life and death battle? For the sake of a Di Yutang from the Heavenly Sword Sect, would it be appropriate to fight to the death?"
Zhou Wenyi's expression was solemn, and his tone was sonorous. His eyes flashed as he looked straight at Long Haoran.
Although the Long Family had a deep foundation and unfathomable strength, Zhou Wenyi was the Chief Elder of the Heaven Squad. He had the qualifications to be on equal footing with Long Haoran.
"Uh … This … Mr. Zhou is too serious."
Long Haoran was speechless by Zhou Wenyi's words. He knew that he had misspoken, so he could only try to salvage the situation. "But we can't let that brat do as he pleases. What he is doing is too disrespectful to the heroes of the world. If we allow him to develop without a care, sooner or later, it will bring a storm of blood to our Huaxia …"
"Long Family Head, you don't have to say that to me …"
When Zhou Wenyi heard this, he simply waved his hand and said with a smile, "When our Heavenly Squad was first established, we only existed to protect the country. Unless the country was in danger or the country had a mission, we would not care about anything else."
"In the pugilistic world of Huaxia, the great families, and the cultivation sects are all fighting for fame and profit. This has been the case since ancient times, and it's not our Heaven Squad's turn to interfere."
Zhou Wenyi had received benefits from Ling Yun, and his spatial ring hadn't even warmed up yet. Of course, he was still speaking up for the Ling Family.
"I wonder if Long Family Head agrees with what this old man has said?"
These words were equivalent to completely putting himself out of the matter. After saying that, Zhou Wenyi asked with a smile.
"This …"
"Makes sense!" Long Haoran gritted his teeth and said these two words. Then, his gaze was like lightning as he asked directly, "In that case, no matter how much trouble Di Yutang from the Heavenly Sword Sect causes in the future, your Heaven Squad will not care?"
Zhou Wenyi shook his head. "This is not the intention of the Heaven Squad, this is my own intention. If it is as Long Family Head said, and things really get out of hand, then of course the Heaven Squad will still have to do what they have to do. The country cannot be in trouble, this is the foundation. "
Zhou Wenyi's words were watertight.
"However, the Huaxia Heaven Squad is not something that I, Zhou Wenyi, have the final say. To be honest, when this old man returned from the Ling Family today, the two elders, Li Zhengfeng and Xiong Biao, had already told this old man that this old man would not care about this matter, but they would definitely care. They said that for the sake of the Heaven Division's reputation, they had to teach the Ling Family a lesson. Sigh, this old man tried to persuade them again and again, but I couldn't … "
"Nah, just now, this old man heard that the two elders had already brought people to the Ling Family to ask for people."
Zhou Wenyi put on a pained expression. Of course, he knew that the two elders, Li Zhengfeng and Xiong Biao, were supported by the Long Family. Naturally, they would work for the Long Family.
"Oh? Is that so? Then it won't be easy for the Ling Family. "
Long Haoran finally smiled. He acted as if nothing had happened, but in his heart, he was cursing. Old fox, if you don't touch the Ling Family, does that mean my Long Family has no other way? (To be continued.)
