In the Ling Family's secret chamber in Beijing.
The current head of the Ling Family, Ling Zhen, was sitting on an old chair, looking at his eldest son, Ling Hao.
The Ling family was one of the seven big families in the capital and had strict family rules. Although the person sitting in front of him was his biological father, they were in the family head's secret chamber. Ling Hao could only stand there respectfully and wait for Ling Zhen to speak.
"Ling Hao, you've been having a lot of trouble lately, haven't you?"
Ling Zhen studied Ling Hao for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and asked.
Ling Hao's heart almost jumped out of his throat. "Dad …" he stammered as if he was treading on thin ice.
"This is the secret chamber. There are no fathers or sons here. Call me head …" Ling Zhen interrupted Ling Hao.
"Yes, Clan Leader, I …" Ling Hao didn't know where to start when he saw his father's business-like attitude.
"Let me speak for you. You've already found your third uncle's son, Ling Yun, haven't you?" Ling Zhen raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and penetrating.
Ling Hao didn't dare to hide anything. "Yes!" he replied, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
"You're arranging for an assassin to kill him, right? You want to kill him before your grandfather finds Ling Yun, right? "
Ling Hao was sweating profusely. Just as he was about to defend himself, he saw Ling Zhen's piercing gaze and immediately lowered his head in fear. "Yes, sir!"
The fierceness in Ling Zhen's eyes receded after seeing that Ling Hao didn't hide anything from him. He stared at the silent Ling Hao and sighed inwardly. "Survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest. I don't blame you for wanting to fight for the position of head. After all, this happens in every big family. "
Ling Zhen reassured Ling Hao before continuing. "I don't blame you for wanting to kill your third uncle's illegitimate son, Ling Yun. However, what you did was a little too stupid! If it wasn't for me covering for you … hmph! "
"Father!" Only then did Ling Hao realize that his plan had already been exposed. It was all thanks to his father that the clan members did not find out.
Ling Zhen frowned slightly and waved his hand to stop Ling Hao from continuing. "I'm sure you saw and heard it in the ancestral hall today. Your grandfather has publicly announced that Ling Yun's name has been added to the family tree. If I'm not wrong, the old master's men will be able to find Ling Yun in three days at most. What do you think you should do then?" Ling Zhen asked.
Ling Hao was shocked. His face was pale, but his mind was racing. After a while, he said, "Father, I'm at the most critical moment. I just received news that …"
"Why are you stuttering? Hurry up and say it! "Ling Zhen lightly slapped the table and shouted in a low voice.
"There's news that Ling Yun and the Sun Family are going against each other. They also said … they also said that Ling Yun will die tonight!"
"Did he fight with the Sun family?" Ling Zhen's thick eyebrows furrowed even more, but they quickly relaxed. His lips curled into a smile as he said, "What if Ling Yun doesn't die tonight? What are you going to do? "
Ling Hao looked at Ling Zhen in disbelief. "Father, that's impossible …"
Ling Zhen smiled faintly and shook his head. "Impossible? Ling Hao, remember, there's nothing impossible in this world! You thought that killing Ling Yun was as easy as stepping on an ant, but look at the result? It's been a whole week, hasn't it? "
Ling Hao lowered his head in shame, not daring to look into Ling Zhen's eyes.
"I don't know about that …" Ling Hao mumbled.
Ling Zhen shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Ling Hao, what did I teach you in the past? Sometimes, killing isn't the only way to solve a problem. Killing is often the last way to solve a problem! "
"Let me tell you! Since you said that Ling Yun will die tonight, I'll give you one more night and one more day tomorrow. If you can kill Ling Yun, then you can forget about everything. But if Ling Yun doesn't die, you have to personally report to your grandfather and third uncle that Ling Yun has been found!
"Do you understand?!"
After Ling Zhen finished speaking, he gave his son a meaningful look and waited for him to reply.
"But … But if that's the case …" Ling Hao argued anxiously.
Ling Zhen snorted and stood up. He pointed at Ling Hao's nose and scolded, "What an idiot! You're still thinking about your position as the Clan Head. Why don't you think about it? Although your grandfather gave you this task, did your grandfather and your third uncle just sit around and do nothing?"
You're the eldest grandson of the Ling Family! Your grandfather passed this task to you as a test. Think about it, if your grandfather and Second Uncle found Lingyun first, what would he think of you? "
"If you can confirm that Ling Yun is dead by the morning of the day after tomorrow, I will naturally have a way to help you settle the rest. However, if Ling Yun isn't dead and you still want to send people to kill him, I'm afraid that the first to die will not be Ling Yun, but you!"
"Also, it's all thanks to your third uncle that the Ling Family is the weakest among the seven big families. If Ling Yun really returns to the Ling Family, it might not be a bad thing!"
"Don't forget, the current head of the Ling Family is still me! As long as I'm alive, no one will be able to snatch the position of the head of the family from you and your brother! "
"Also, I'm warning you, you and your brother can only compete fairly. If I find out that you have any ill intentions towards your brother, I'll cripple you myself! Do you hear me? "
Ling Hao trembled in fear at Ling Zhen's reprimand. He was drenched in cold sweat and could only nod his head repeatedly, not daring to speak.
"Go. If there are no accidents, your grandfather and third uncle's men will find Ling Yun in three days at most. I'll give you one and a half days. If Ling Yun isn't dead, you must immediately stop hunting him down and clean up your mess. Then, you'll report directly to the old master. This way, you'll be praised by the old master."
Ling Zhen repeatedly reminded Ling Hao several times before sending him out.
Ling Zhen sat back in his chair after Ling Hao left. He placed his hands on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Third Brother, the son of you and that b * tch really isn't simple …"
"The Sun Family …"
…
"Master Compassionless and Priestess Heartless are old lovers! Cough cough … "
"A pair of adulterous husband and wife … cough cough …"
Zhuang Tiande's villa in the western suburbs. Beside a huge green lawn and beside a small forest.
Sun Xing, who had already lost his voice from all the shouting, was still yelling at the top of his lungs. It had already been seven to eight minutes, and smoke was coming out of Sun Xing's throat. He coughed for half a day after every sentence he yelled. However, he did not dare to stop unless Ling Yun asked him to. If he yelled any slower, Ling Yun would slap him twice.
Ling Yun simply sat down in the rain and teased Little Gold from time to time. Occasionally, he would slap Sun Xing. He had no intention of escaping.
A strong reinforcement had arrived on his side. One golden silkworm was enough to scare the other party to the point of wetting its pants. If Ling Yun were to escape now, he would be laughed at by this sentient insect. That wasn't his style.
Master Compassionless and Priestess Heartless couldn't take it anymore. If it weren't for the fact that He Xingyan hadn't finished his cultivation and was afraid of the sneak attack from the Golden Silkworm, they would have rushed over and killed Sun Xing on the spot!
"Phew …" He Xingyan finally finished his practice. He threw away his original dagger and changed it for a new one. He clenched his teeth and cut off another layer of flesh from his wound. Then, he used a high-quality Gold Wound Balm to bandage the huge, ghastly wound that was so deep that the bone could be seen.
He Xingyan's right arm gradually regained feeling. He could feel the excruciating pain again. Obviously, he had successfully forced the poison out of his arm.
"Thank you for protecting me. Now, let's split the work. I'll deal with the Golden Silkworm in the air, and the three of you kill Ling Yun as quickly as possible. How about that?"
He Xingyan said in a negotiating tone as he arrived outside the circle formed by the three of them. He stared at Little Gold in the air without blinking.
Priest Compassionless and Priestess Heartless were already fuming with anger from Sun Xing's scolding. They quickly nodded and said, "That's a good plan!"
Suddenly, He Xingyan frowned and turned to look in the direction of the gate. "Someone's coming!" he said in a deep voice.
Although He Xingyan was seriously injured and his speed was greatly affected, he still had his Kung Fu. Therefore, he was the first one to hear the commotion at the gate.
Xiao Jin was high up in the sky. He didn't need to look at who it was. He could tell that it was Miao Xiao Miao based on his telepathy. He immediately flapped his little wings cheerfully, and his chubby body drew a golden line in the air as he flew towards the door like a bolt of lightning.
Ling Yun panicked. He leaped up from the ground and shouted into the air, "Hey … Hey, don't run. F * ck, they're still pointing at you to bite them …"
The four masters seized the opportunity to attack Ling Yun at the same time while Little Gold was flying away!
Ling Yun chuckled as he carried Sun Xing into the forest. He chased after Little Gold using the Thousand Miles Godly Steps.
Ling Yun wanted to see who would brave the rain to save him in the middle of the night.
However, Ling Yun was stopped by Priestess Heartless the moment he entered the forest. Priestess Heartless had rested for seven to eight minutes and had recharged her energy. She was infuriated by Sun Xing and was determined to kill Ling Yun this time!
While He Xingyan was expelling the poison from his body, Priestess Heartless and the other two rested for real. Their physical strength and internal energy were restored. However, Ling Yun's rest was in vain. Other than recovering some energy, the spiritual energy in his body was still less than twenty percent.
Ling Yun's speed with the Thousand Miles Godly Steps wasn't as fast as Priestess Heartless. Furthermore, he was carrying Sun Xing and had insufficient spiritual energy! Therefore, he could only turn back through the forest.
"Die, evil creature!"
Ling Yun met Priest Compassionless and Liu Deming, who were waiting for him at the edge of the forest. Both of them shouted at the same time and attacked Ling Yun with their Buddhist staff and horsetail whisk!
In an instant, Ling Yun was surrounded by enemies! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued.)
