Cui Lao's words were filled with uncontrollable anger. Ling Yun didn't even need to ask. He had to vent his anger in order to dispel the endless humiliation and hatred!
"All of a sudden, the martial arts world formed an unprecedented alliance to demand an explanation from your father!
"Third Young Master took your mother, who was eight months pregnant with you, and was chased by countless martial artists for thousands of miles. He was injured along the way and finally escaped back to the Ling Family.
"At that time, the Ling Family was one of the top three families alongside the Long Family in Beijing and the Qin Family in Jiangnan. The Third Young Master was extremely talented and was already at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Three. The head of the family was at Xiantian Realm Level Four. There were also three Xiantian Realm masters and seven to eight Houtian Realm Level Nine masters, including me.
"The Third Young Master risked his life to return to the family so that he could use the family's power to get a chance to reason with them …
"But compared to the elites sent by the righteous and evil sects, this bit of strength is like a firefly trying to compete against the sun and moon. They're like ants trying to shake a tree. In just one night, they were either killed or heavily injured. They no longer have the strength to fight back. They don't even have the right to negotiate!"
"One of the Xiantian Realm masters from the Ling Family left in a rage after finding out about the Third Young Master. Two of the Xiantian Realm Level Three masters who were your father's best friends died in battle that night. Eight of the Houtian Realm Level Nine masters, except for me, all died in battle. As for me, my meridians were damaged because of my injuries that year. After eighteen years, it's been difficult for me to improve any further!
"That night, the head of the family was seriously injured, and his skills were greatly reduced. He's still at Xiantian Realm Level One, unable to advance any further. Your First Uncle, Ling Zhen, and Second Uncle, Ling Yue, were severely injured …
"Of the two hundred men of sacrifice that the Ling Family nurtured, only nine were left! That night, the Ling Family became a living hell. It was truly a sea of blood and mountains of corpses … "
Ling Yun's eyes turned red as he listened. He gritted his teeth and pressed his hands on the marble coffee table. The bottom of the table had already been smashed into powder by him, but he continued to press on it, oblivious to it!
"Is no one going to do anything about it?" Ling Yun asked through gritted teeth.
Cui Lao laughed bitterly again. "Step in? Who would dare to step in? Who would care? This is such a good opportunity, and the other families can't wait for the Ling Family to be destroyed so that they can take advantage of this opportunity to rise up. They can't wait to gloat, so why would they care? "
"After that battle, the Ling Family completely collapsed. The Long Family in Beijing felt that things had gotten out of hand and finally came out to mediate and protect the Ling Family …" Ling Yun sneered.
Ling Yun sneered. "Don't you think it's a little late for the Long Family to come out now?"
Cui Lao didn't seem to hear Ling Yun's words as he continued in a frenzy, "The outcome of the negotiations was that both the righteous and evil sects would no longer deal with our Ling Family. The price that the Ling Family had to pay was that your father, Ling Xiao, crippled his own martial arts in front of everyone and announced that he would never see your mother again. He also announced that he would marry someone else and have children in front of your mother … Your mother was brought back to the Devil Sect and has not been heard from since …"
"In order to protect your mother and the child in her womb, your father had no choice but to endure the humiliation …"
"From then on …" Cui Lao seemed to feel that he couldn't bear the pain anymore. Hence, he didn't elaborate on the matter and continued, "The Ling Family completely collapsed, and they no longer received the support of any ancient martial arts sects. They only have the name of the Seven Big Families, but they don't have the strength to back them up …"
"Back then, the Ling Family and the Long Family jointly controlled Huaxia's oil, gas, electricity, and electronic communications. How dazzling were the financial, real estate, and non-ferrous metals industries? "
"In the past 18 years, all the resources that the Ling Family controlled, be it in the government or in the business world, were gradually eaten away by the other six families. Now, they can only barely get a share of the pie from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Water Resources, which are two departments that are not very profitable …"
"Even these two departments were fought over by the Long Family. If they lost the Long Family's support, the Ling Family would completely lose their right to speak at the top of Huaxia's pyramid!"
"Now, the people from the other six big families. Whenever the Ling Family is mentioned, they are treated as a laughing stock! "
…
"Bam!"
Ling Yun fiercely slammed his palm on the marble coffee table. The teapot and teapot on the coffee table were instantly shattered into pieces. Tea spilled everywhere, and the entire marble coffee table was in a mess. Rocks fell like rain!
"Stop talking!"
Ling Yun completely understood the situation the Ling Family was in!
He also understood what Cui Lao meant when he said that Ling Lie knew the danger. For the past 18 years, there had always been people watching the Ling Family from the shadows. There had always been people targeting the Ling Family!
Ling Yun stood up abruptly. His eyes were bloodshot, and his nostrils and mouth were about to spit fire. He had never been so angry, and he had never been so humiliated!
"Young Master, you …"
Cui Lao had never seen Ling Yun like this. He didn't know how to comfort Ling Yun and couldn't help but feel regretful.
"Cui Lao, don't worry. Thank you, I'm fine …" Ling Yun only calmed down after a long time. He hid his anger in his heart.
"Whoosh!"
Ling Yun took out the five hundred million USD bank card that Cui Lao had just given him and handed it to Cui Lao. "Cui Lao, I don't need this five hundred million USD. Take it back for my grandpa …"
Cui Lao waved his hands in fear. "Young Master, you don't understand what I mean. This five hundred million USD isn't as simple as a congratulatory gift!"
"That's …" Cui Lao sighed.
Cui Lao sighed. "Third Young Master and your Second Uncle disappeared at the same time. It's obvious that someone has started to make a move against the Ling Family. It's still unknown whether the Ling Family will be able to escape this calamity. The Family Head wants me to pass this 500 million USD to you in hopes that you can make a comeback. Even if something happens to the Ling Family, you can still make a comeback and lead the Ling Family back to glory!"
Five hundred million USD, the Black Yellow Sutra, and the inheritance of the Ling Family were all brought to Ling Yun by Cui Lao. This was Ling Lie's plan.
With Ling Yun and all these, the Ling Family wouldn't perish no matter how much misfortune befell them!
Ling Yun didn't take back the bank card. Instead, he placed it heavily in Cui Lao's palm and said, "Take it back. Even without this five hundred million USD, I can still make the Ling Family rise again. From now on, the Ling Family won't perish, and there's no such thing as a comeback. As long as I, Ling Yun, am here, the Ling Family won't perish!"
At this moment, Ling Yun treated all the righteous sects, sects, and ancient families in the world as his enemies!
He would kill all his enemies to avenge his parents and those who died in the Ling Family! He would find his father, Ling Xiao, and rescue his biological mother, the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect!
In Ling Yun's eyes, what righteous sects? What evil sects? Since they harmed his family, he would make them pay a hundred times over!
"That means that the Golden Black Devilish Silk that you gave me was left behind by my mother?"
After a while, Ling Yun asked Cui Lao with a murderous aura.
Cui Lao sighed and replied emotionally, "That's right. This was originally given to your father by your mother to make clothes. Of course, your father couldn't wear it anymore, so he brought it to you …"
"Where's the Devil Sect?"
"No one knows …"
"My grandfather and my father, how are they now?"
"Master's body is fine, but his old injuries aren't easy to heal. Coupled with his advanced age, his cultivation has been stuck at Xiantian Realm Level One. Third Young Master, on the other hand, has spent eighteen years cultivating to the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Five. He's not even forty years old, but his hair has already turned white …"
"Since Father married someone else, does that mean that Ling Xue is my half-sister?"
"Yes …"
Ling Yun's questions became more and more urgent, and Cui Lao's answers became more and more serious.
In the end, they were speechless.
"Cui Lao, let me treat your injuries first …" Ling Yun spoke again after a few minutes of silence. He was going to treat Cui Lao's injuries.
No matter how many things there were, they had to be done step by step. Revenge was a dish best served cold. Ling Yun understood this better than anyone else.
It had been more than a month since Ling Yun treated Cui Lao. Now that Ling Yun had reached the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight, and his body was filled with vigorous Wood Spiritual Energy, it was the best time to treat Cui Lao.
Ling Yun and Cui Lao went to his bedroom. Cui Lao sat cross-legged on the bed while Ling Yun took out nine golden needles and began to treat Cui Lao.
Half an hour later, Ling Yun removed the needles for Cui Lao. At the same time, he smiled and asked, "Cui Lao, how do you feel now?"
Cui Lao replied excitedly, "I'm completely healed. My meridians are no longer blocked, and my energy center is back to normal!"
Ling Yun had already treated the dying patient yesterday. Treating Cui Lao, who was already seventy to eighty percent healed, was naturally a piece of cake.
"Cui Lao, rest well for two days. After these two days, you'll be able to break through to Xiantian Realm Level One. I'll protect you then."
Ling Yun had the thousand-year ginseng, thousand-year knotweed, and dragon saliva. These were all miraculous medicines for breaking through.
"Alright!"
Cui Lao nodded without hesitation, knowing that Ling Yun wanted to increase his realm and strength.
Ling Yun suddenly took three steps back and stood in front of Cui Lao, who was sitting on the bed. Then, he bowed respectfully to Cui Lao.
"Cui Lao, I have to thank you. Thank you for never abandoning the Ling Family for eighteen years …"
Ling Yun's action shocked Cui Lao to the core. He hurriedly got off the bed and helped Ling Yun up. "Young Master, you can't do that, you can't do that. Old Master Ling saved my life, and I won't be able to repay him even if I die a thousand times. What's so small about this?"
Ling Yun stood still, his gaze calm and filled with endless confidence. He said calmly but firmly, "Cui Lao, don't worry.
"Cui Lao, don't worry. From today onwards, the Ling Family's hardships will be over!"
