"Oh, Xie Dongqun isn't a fool. He's quite sensible."
Ling Yun flew back and stood on the auction stage again. He smiled as he watched the people from Deity Sword Villa leave. Thinking about this, he said what he wanted to say.
However, Ling Yun guessed that Xie Dongqun's intestines were green with regret. If the person he sent to Qingshui City wasn't Guo Xiaotian but someone else, or if it was him himself, the situation at Deity Sword Villa might have been different after hearing Ling Yun's three conditions.
This was just a guess. Ling Yun was only at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine at that time, which was much weaker than he was now. If Xie Dongqun had fought personally, Ling Yun wouldn't have been able to defeat Xie Dongqun without using the Dragon Elephant Divine Force.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Xie Dongqun didn't take Ling Yun seriously. He only sent five disciples over. In the end, Guo Xiaotian was stubborn and made a huge mistake, which led to the situation today.
It was hard to predict the vicissitudes of life. Only when it happened would it become a foregone conclusion.
They could only blame the Deity Sword Mountain Villa for not having this opportunity.
For example, the Wudang Mountain Villa only sent a world walker, Taoist Master Chong Xu. Why did they stop in time and take the initiative to befriend Ling Yun?
When the people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa left, Ling Yun had already sent a telepathic message to Wang Chongxiao, asking him and Edward to step aside and let Xie Dongqun leave.
Just like that, Ling Yun forced the Deity Sword Mountain Villa to retreat with a few words and temporarily spared their lives. There were two reasons for this.
First of all, as Ling Yun had said, the Deity Sword Villa had indeed done the Qin Family a great favor. As long as it was a favor, the Qin Family had to repay it. After all, the wrong came after the favor. Hence, Ling Yun wanted to settle the scores with Xie Dongqun one by one.
Ling Yun could only help the Qin Family repay this debt of gratitude. In the future, when he dealt with the Tianshan Heavenly Sword Sect, the Deity Sword Mountain Villa wouldn't interfere and put the Qin Family in a difficult position. This way, Ling Yun would naturally be able to go all out without any reservations!
Secondly, other than participating in the Demon Subduing Convention, Xie Dongqun did not have any enmity with the Ling Clan. There was no need for him to kill them all. With his current abilities, he could destroy the Deity Sword Villa anytime he wanted. There was no need for him to be in such a hurry.
Moreover, the villa master of the Deity Sword Villa, Xie Dongqun, was originally from the Kunlun Sword Sect, but he had connections with the Heavenly Sword Sect. Even Qin Changqing had said that Xie Dongqun had used some unknown method to make Di Xiaozhen give up and temporarily let the Qin Family off. Ling Yun was actually very curious about Xie Dongqun's method and the purpose of the Deity Sword Villa to save the Qin Family.
There had to be a hidden story behind this, and it wasn't as simple as it seemed. Ling Yun didn't believe that the Deity Sword Mountain Villa could make Di Xiaozhen of the Heavenly Sword Sect let the Qin Family off just because of an agreement of eighteen years. At that time, the Qin Family would be a piece of meat on Di Xiaozhen's chopping board. What was the point of waiting for eighteen years?
If everything was investigated in the future and the Deity Sword Mountain Villa didn't have any ill intentions towards the Qin Family, then it would be fine. If not, then Ling Yun would naturally fight his way up to the Deity Sword Mountain Villa and find trouble with Xie Dongqun!
Now that the grudges between the two sides had been cleared, Ling Yun wouldn't have to waste so much time talking to Xie Dongqun.
While Ling Yun was secretly speculating about these things, he didn't expect that his words of fairness would cause a huge change in the situation in the Wind Thunder Valley!
"Whoosh!"
A large group of people, more than a hundred experts, suddenly rushed towards one direction in the Wind Thunder Valley. They completely broke away from the camps of Mount Longhu, the Kunlun Sword Sect, and the other sects that had a death feud with Ling Yun.
These people weren't involved in the case of the Ling Family eighteen years ago. By doing this, it was obvious that they wanted to make a clear stand and draw a clear line between themselves and forces like Mount Longhu and the Kunlun Sword Sect!
The reason was very simple. Just now, when Ling Yun was settling scores with Xie Dongqun from the Deity Sword Mountain Villa and asking him if it was fair or not, these people were there to see it for themselves. None of them were stupid. When they heard Ling Yun's explanation, they naturally came to a realization!
At least these people understood one thing. Ling Yun wasn't as unreasonable and bloodthirsty as the rumors said. On the contrary, he was very clear about the score in his heart and wasn't ambiguous at all!
Otherwise, with the strength that Ling Yun displayed, he wouldn't have needed to waste so much time arguing with the Deity Sword Mountain Villa. In less than half a minute, he killed all the people from the Deity Sword Mountain Villa!
This proved one thing. Ling Yun definitely wouldn't kill the innocent. This also proved that what Ling Yun said when he stopped those people from escaping just now was the truth. He wasn't lying.
As long as they had no grudges with Ling Yun, he definitely wouldn't make things difficult for them. The premise was that these people didn't escape before Ling Yun took revenge.
Since that was the case, why were those who had no grudges with Ling Yun or those who had escaped but were forced to return with Mount Longhu and the Kunlun Sword Sect? Were they tired of living and looking for death?
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. You're righteous and clear about gratitude and grudges. I didn't expect that the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade to be unable to affect your mind."
This time, the WuTang Sect's Taoist Master Chong Xu didn't use telepathy. Instead, he spoke loudly in front of everyone to express his appreciation for Ling Yun's actions.
Taoist Master Chong Xu clearly expressed the WuTang Sect's position. Not only would they not be enemies with Ling Yun, but they would also be friends!
"Amitabha. Young Benefactor Ling Yun's actions have indeed put us, the orthodox sects, to shame. Even though you killed twenty people from Shaolin, when Jueyuan returns to Shaolin, he will definitely explain the reason for the young benefactor's actions and fight for justice!"
Master Jueyuan was also very shocked. This was because he had inadvertently seen another side of Ling Yun.
What heinous crimes? What bloodthirsty nature? These were all nonsense. He had never killed anyone who hadn't provoked Ling Yun!
Seeing that Taoist Master Chong Xu and Master Jueyuan had taken the lead, Ling Yun smiled and cupped his fists. "Taoist Master Chong Xu, Master Jueyuan, thank you for your trouble. Once this matter is over, I'm willing to have a long talk with the two of you."
Ling Yun was naturally not stupid. This was a good opportunity to divide the orthodox sects in the martial arts world. Of course, he wouldn't miss it.
"Ling Yun, we have no enmity with you in the past or in the present. We came to participate in the Devil Subduing Conference purely because we were bewitched. Please spare our lives!"
"Yes, yes, yes. We didn't participate in the massacre of the Ling Family. We're just here to join in the fun. Please be magnanimous and let us go!"
…
In an instant, more than a hundred people shouted loudly. They directly sold out Mount Longhu and the Kunlun Sword Sect.
"I know. Once I'm done and confirm that you have no enmity with me, I'll naturally let you go. Don't worry, everyone."
Although Ling Yun despised these fence-sitters, he couldn't do anything about them. There were too many people like them in this world. They made up the majority. It was impossible to kill them all.
That was human nature.
Ling Yun was very clear that if he were to lose tonight, these people who had put down their pride and begged him for mercy would raise their butcher knives against him faster and more ruthlessly than their real enemies!
As a result, the originally two opposing parties in the Wind Thunder Valley suddenly became three forces.
Ling Yun's side, his mortal enemies in the past and present, and the fence-sitters who thought they had nothing to do with Ling Yun and wouldn't dare to provoke him even if they were beaten to death.
On the side of the orthodox sects, half of them had been split. Now, there were less than ten sects left, and there were only a hundred and thirty to forty people.
However, these people were undoubtedly Ling Yun's mortal enemies. There was no need to distinguish them. Everyone was clearly divided!
Among them were Mount Longhu, the Kunlun Sword Sect, the Kongtong Sect, the Huashan Sword Sect, Mount Emei, and four or five hidden families, including the Liu Family.
The strange thing was that the Tranquil Sect didn't split. They stood firmly with Ling Yun's enemies, as if they were determined to fight to the death with him.
The Tranquil Sect didn't have any old grudges with Ling Yun, only new ones.
Therefore, after settling the Deity Sword Mountain Villa, Ling Yun immediately went to the Tranquil Sect.
He floated down the stage and came directly in front of the Tranquil Sect. He looked at the Tranquil Sect Master, Priestess Miejue, and laughed disdainfully. "Must you have a death wish?"
Ling Yun wanted to see how hard the bones of these crazy women from the Tranquil Sect were!
He had already decided to get rid of the Tranquil Sect. This way, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.
"Meifeng, come here," Ling Yun said coldly.
Then, he turned around and called Zhuang Meifeng over. "Priestess Miejue, right? Open your eyes wide and see for yourself. If not for the Tranquil Sect snatching my wife away, how would she be at such a low realm today? "
Hearing this, Zhuang Meifeng couldn't help but glare at Ling Yun. She was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight and a cultivator at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Three, yet Ling Yun said that she was at such a low realm.
Actually, Ling Yun was talking about strength. In other words, he was talking about actual combat power, not just realm.
"Honey, I'm just provoking them. Don't take it seriously."
Seeing that his wife was angry, Ling Yun hurriedly sent a telepathic message to comfort her. Then, he said, "Priestess Miejue, to tell you the truth, I want to get rid of the Tranquil Sect. It has nothing to do with anything else, because I've already killed Miejue. Moreover, the Tranquil Sect has no feud with the Ling Family.
"I want to get rid of you because I don't like you. There's no need for a broken sect that harms the world and harms women!
"Of course, getting rid of the Tranquil Sect doesn't mean that I'm going to kill you. As long as you are willing to cripple your own cultivation and announce the dissolution of the Tranquil Sect, I will naturally let you leave. I will even arrange for people to escort you and ensure your safety. How about that?"
After saying a few words, Ling Yun directly stated his conditions.
"Hmph! Vile spawn! My Tranquil Sect has three hundred years of heritage. You want to dissolve it with just a few sentences? You must be daydreaming! "
Priestess Miejue of the Tranquil Sect was trembling with anger. Her face turned green as she gritted her teeth and said sternly.
"Is that so? Then you can go to hell. "
Ling Yun smiled faintly and suddenly punched at Priestess Miejue!
"Bam!"
It was too fast. Ling Yun's movement technique was teleportation, and his punch was also as fast as lightning. There was no way for Priestess Miejue to dodge this punch. She was directly hit by Ling Yun and flew out. Her body slammed into the cliff wall with a loud bang!
Priestess Miejue didn't fall to the ground. Her body was embedded in the cliff, and her eyes were bulging out. Blood flowed out from all her orifices. She couldn't be more dead!
Ling Yun wouldn't be polite to such people. He killed Priestess Miejue with one punch and said, "You can continue being the Abbess of the Tranquil Sect when you reach the underworld. I won't be able to see or care about that place."
