Sorry for the long wait. I've just finished the second chapter on the 14th. It's already 3: 30 in the morning. Old Bu has gone to bed, so don't wait for me tonight.

It was quiet, serene, and pitch-black. One couldn't even see their fingers in front of them.
However, such darkness was no different from daylight to Ling Yun, who had achieved some success in cultivating the Yin-Yang Eye. It couldn't affect him at all.
The Ling Family's dungeon had a total of four steps. Each step was made up of twenty-eight stone steps. After three turns, it led straight to the depths of the dungeon.
Each flight of stone steps was three meters wide, enough for five to six people to walk side by side. The passageway to the bottom of the dungeon was very clean, well-ventilated, and well-lit. Ling Yun even knew where the lighting switch was. It was just that he was too lazy to switch it on.
The design of the entire dungeon was very grand. Those who didn't know better might even think that they had walked into the underground palace of an ancient tomb. Ling Yun followed the stone steps all the way down. With his height, he didn't need to lower his head at all.
Very quickly, Ling Yun walked up four steps and arrived at the lowest level of the dungeon. Looking up, he knew that there was a vertical distance of at least nine meters from the ground. Even the most advanced artillery shell would have difficulty penetrating this place.
The entire dungeon was very big. It was close to a thousand square meters, only slightly smaller than the eighth courtyard above ground. If they squeezed a little, it wouldn't be a problem for it to accommodate at least a thousand people.
There were a total of more than ten rooms of various sizes in the dungeon. They were all made of stone and green bricks, giving off a sense of security.
At the end of the stone steps, where Ling Yun stood, there were three large jars. Each jar was two meters in diameter and two meters deep. They were filled with clean water.
Moreover, Ling Yun used his divine sense to explore and found similar jars filled with water in a few rooms. It was just that those jars were much smaller than these three jars.
Obviously, this wasn't just the Ling Family's dungeon. In times of crisis, it was also a very good place to take refuge.
That was because Ling Yun also found a few secret passages in a few rooms. They were very deep, extending at least a hundred meters. Even with his divine sense, he couldn't find the exit.
The entrance of the secret passage was seamlessly integrated with the wall of the room. It looked like a single stone wall. Those who didn't know would definitely not discover it.
Not only could it be used for refuge, but it could also be used to hide soldiers. Such a dungeon had many uses for a big family.
"How generous … How generous …" Ling Yun exclaimed in his heart. When he was on the surface, he had used his divine sense to explore the dungeon. He knew that the area of the dungeon was huge, but he didn't expect there to be a secret passage.
The prosperous and mysterious capital city, the foot of the emperor and the root of the imperial city, was indeed not something the small Qingshui City could compare to.
Compared to this place, Miracle Doctor Xue's mansion in Qingshui City and the secret room were child's play.
With Ling Yun's intelligence, he instantly realized that the Ling Family wasn't the only one with such a dungeon. Just like the Ling Family Weapon Workshop, all seven big families in Beijing definitely had one.
"Interesting. Is Cao Shanshan hidden in the Chen Family's dungeon by Chen Jianwei?"
Ling Yun muttered to himself. However, he didn't find a dungeon in either of the Chen Family's villas in the southwest or the mansion in the southern suburbs. Obviously, the Chen Family had a private residence that was even more secretive. That was where the Chen Family's base camp was.
That was because Ling Yun did not find the head of the Chen Family, Chen Haipeng, nor the head of the Chen Family, Chen Jingtian.
Chen Haizhen was already at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five. Chen Haipeng and Chen Jingtian were probably at a higher level. Ling Yun would be able to sense them if he were to discover them.
In a flash, Ling Yun came to the wall of the dungeon tunnel and pressed the switch of the lighting device. The tunnel was instantly brightly lit, as bright as day.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked towards the three rooms at the end of the corridor. Chen Haizhen, Mitsui, and Yamada were locked in those three rooms.
As he walked, Ling Yun tried to reverse his energy center again. He wanted to control the Yin-Yang Vortex to produce the suction force from his palm. Unfortunately, the more deliberate he was, the less successful he was. Without exception, he failed.
I'm a little too impatient. It seems like I can only use it unintentionally. I'm still far from being able to control it at will …
Ling Yun naturally understood where the problem lay. He could only give up for now.
Ling Yun's Yin-Yang Vortex was still forming. How could it be so easy to reverse it just like that?
Ling Yun first came to the room where Chen Haizhen was locked up. He pushed the door open and saw Chen Haizhen lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Chen Haizhen had been stabbed in the chest by Ling Yun. The wound was too deep, and he had lost too much blood. Coupled with the repeated shocks and torments, he was already out of breath. He had one foot in the grave.
"Tsk, tsk …"
Once Ling Yun entered the room, he released a few gusts of wind from his fingers and unsealed all of Chen Haizhen's acupoints.
"Now, you can break your own meridians or bite your tongue to commit suicide. I won't stop you …"
Ling Yun's eyes were calm, but his gaze was cold and emotionless. He looked at Chen Haizhen, who was trying his best to get up, as though he was looking at a corpse.
It was true that Ling Yun wanted to ask Chen Haizhen some questions. However, he didn't care if Chen Haizhen would commit suicide or not. That was because the Chen Family's annihilation was already set in stone. It had nothing to do with Chen Haizhen's current behavior.
Chen Haizhen struggled for a long time before he finally managed to sit up. He sat cross-legged and tried his best to circulate his Xiantian True Qi so that he could speak. Only then did he open his eyes and stare at Ling Yun in fear and anger. "What exactly do you want?"
Don't want to die? It was much easier if he didn't want to die. Ling Yun smiled faintly and asked, "Your Chen Family captured my Second Uncle and imprisoned him for such a long time. What do you think I want?"
"You, who exactly are you? There's no such person in the Ling Family! " Chen Haizhen stared at Ling Yun for a long time, but he couldn't recall such a person among the younger generation of the Ling Family. He asked in shock and confusion.
"You don't have the right to ask me any questions. However, I can still answer you. The Ling Family didn't have someone like me in the past, but I'm sorry to say that there is now … My name is Ling Yun!"
Ling Yun smiled proudly. In his heart, he thought that Chen Sen was really a tiger. Ling Hao had told Chen Sen such important information, but Chen Sen actually didn't report it to the family.
Ling Yun didn't know that Chen Sen and Ling Hao were the murderers who planned to kill Ling Yun. The secret between the two of them had nothing to do with the fight between the two families.
Ling Hao only killed Ling Yun to prevent Ling Yun from competing with him for the position of the family head. Chen Sen, on the other hand, only wanted Ling Hao's twenty million yuan to repay his gambling debts.
"Ling Yun … why does that name sound so familiar?" Chen Haizhen was at a loss. He seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "You're the Ling Yun from Qingshui City who caused the Sun Family to suffer and lose all face?"
Ling Yun was finally moved. It seemed like the news of him killing Sun Tianbiao's family wasn't kept a secret after all. The seven big families in Beijing knew about it!
There was no doubt about that. In China, Jiangnan Province and Qingshui City were extremely important. Qingshui City had such a huge incident that even involved the Sun Family, the Emperor Brush, and the Earth Emperor's Book. How could the seven big families in Beijing not investigate the ins and outs of the matter in secret?
"Congratulations, you're right! I killed Sun Xing, Niu Fenjiao, Sun Tianbiao, and nearly a hundred of the Sun Family's ancient martial arts experts! "
Ling Yun didn't deny it. Why would he hide it from someone who was going to die?
Chen Haizhen's face turned as ugly as a dead fish. Ling Yun from Qingshui City in Jiangnan Province, the Ling Family in Beijing … How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
"Qin Dongxue from the Qin Family appeared in Qingshui City because of you!"
Chen Haizhen exclaimed again. Now, all the big families in Beijing thought that Ling Yun, who was adopted by Qin Qiuyue from the Qin Family, had the power to go against the Sun Family. Qin Dongxue appeared in Qingshui City, and they all thought that the Qin Family was going to rise again in Huaxia. They were thinking about how to deal with the Qin Family, but they didn't expect Ling Yun to come to Beijing alone and become a descendant of the Ling Family!
"It seems like you know a lot more than I thought …" Ling Yun suddenly realized that there was no longer a need to hide his identity, and he couldn't hide it for long either.
"You saw it just now. Your Chen Family sent thirty-six Japanese ninjas to destroy my Ling Family. Therefore, there's nothing much to talk about between us. I'm here this time to ask you a few things …"
Ling Yun didn't continue chatting with Chen Haizhen. He got straight to the point.
Chen Haizhen suddenly laughed hysterically until he coughed out a mouthful of blood. "You want me, Chen Haizhen, to betray the Chen Family? Dream on!"
Ling Yun's lips curled into a cold smile. "Betray the Chen Family? You've overestimated yourself and underestimated me. Please use your pig brain to think about it. I alone can annihilate more than a hundred ancient martial arts masters from your Chen Family. Even the two Chunin Realm Level Seven ninjas were captured by me. Do you think I need you to betray the Chen Family? "
Ling Yun's words had completely defeated Chen Haizhen. He was very domineering and direct. Chen Haizhen understood what he meant very well. If Ling Yun wanted to destroy the Chen Family, all he had to do was make a turn and kill his way to the Chen Family's headquarters. Then, he would start a massacre, and the Chen Family would collapse immediately. There was no need for him to ask anything.
After being stunned for a while, Chen Haizhen said in a raspy voice, "Ling Yun, do you think that our Chen Family only has a huge mansion in the Southern Suburbs and over a hundred ancient martial arts experts? Do you think that's all we have? Aren't you underestimating the Chen Family? You can try if you want to destroy the Chen Family with one hand … "
Ling Yun didn't mind. He smiled faintly. "Three questions. First, how much power does the Chen Family have? You can tell me. Second, where did you hide the Third Young Master of the Ling Family, Ling Xiao? Secondly, Chen Jianwei captured Cao Shanshan. Where did he hide her? "(To be continued.)
