The minivan sped down the road.
Ling Yun sat in the car and looked at the sky through the lowered windows. He was slightly relieved. He guessed that the rain wouldn't fall during the day.
However, Ling Yun knew that the rain wouldn't be light. It would probably be a storm.
"Fourth Young Master, shall I go with you tonight?"
Cui Lao pondered for a moment before turning his head from the passenger seat and speaking to Ling Yun in a negotiating tone.
Of course, Cui Lao knew that Ling Yun had done so much to save Cao Shanshan tonight.
"But our Ling Family also needs protection …" Ling Yun muttered to himself for a while before replying slowly.
If Ling Yun found Cao Shanshan and successfully rescued her, it would be a tough battle if they met Chen Jianwei!
Cao Shanshan's blood was the best treasure in Chen Jianwei's eyes. Of course, he wouldn't let Ling Yun save her.
"After the battle last night, Beijing was shaken. Everyone is guessing what kind of master came to protect the Ling Family. The Chen Family probably won't attack us again in the near future …" Cui Lao said to Ling Yun with a smile.
"Moreover, the Old Master has reached the early stages of Xiantian Realm Level Eight. The Long Family is supporting the Ling Family, and the Ye Family is biding their time. Even if the Chen Family sends masters, they won't send the three masters …" Cui Lao said to Ling Yun with a smile.
Ling Yun understood Cui Lao's meaning very well. As long as the Chen Family didn't send their strongest three, Grandpa alone would be able to defend the Ling Family impregnably. No matter who came, they would only be courting death.
"Fourth Young Master, I'm the most familiar with Beijing and the surrounding terrain. Moreover, if there's a fight, someone has to protect Cao Shanshan, right?"
"Moreover, the Old Master is really worried …"
Cui Lao was afraid that Ling Yun would be in danger alone. It wouldn't be easy for him to handle the situation alone.
What was the most important thing in the Ling Family now? Ling Yun, of course!
"Alright then, after dinner, you and Pierce will come over together. We will rescue Cao Shanshan tonight!"
Ling Yun finally agreed.
Back in the city, Cui Lao returned to the Ling Family after sending Ling Yun to the courtyard house.
The moment he entered the courtyard house, he could feel the faint spiritual energy in the air. It was released by the medicinal herbs that Tang Meng had brought over.
Dozens of snakeskin bags filled with traditional Chinese medicine were piled up in the corner of the courtyard in a mess. Two of the Green Dragon Gang's underlings were guarding there obediently and did not move an inch away from them.
"Have you eaten yet? Where is Tang Meng? "
"Big Brother Yun, we've already eaten, and all the herbs have been transported over. Young Master Tang seems to have some business to discuss, so he went out after he was done with the herbs."
"What business does he have to discuss in Beijing?" Ling Yun asked.
One of the Green Dragon underlings scratched his head and answered, "I think they're going to discuss a logistics company. They said they're going to buy that logistics company …"
Ling Yun instantly understood. Tang Meng was thinking that if Ling Yun were to stay in Beijing for a long period of time, transportation between two places would definitely be frequent. He might as well buy a logistics company. No matter what kind of transportation it was, it would be very convenient.
Of course, it would be very convenient for his own company to transport his own things.
"You two, go and find some stones, or even bricks …"
Ling Yun went to open the storage room in the courtyard house and used the stones to set up a simple spirit gathering formation. Then, he got the two underlings to move all the snakeskin bags into the storage room to ensure that the spiritual energy of the medicinal herbs wouldn't be lost.
After locking the storage room door, Ling Yun flipped his hand and took out a bundle of hundred-yuan bills. He gave it to the two underlings and smiled. "This is ten thousand yuan. You two go out and find a good hotel to stay in. You can spend the rest of the money however you want."
The two Green Dragon underlings were shocked. How would they dare to take Ling Yun's money?
"Big Brother Yun, we can't do that. You're our boss's boss's boss. We're doing things for you. If we ask you for money, Young Master Tang will beat us to death if he finds out!"
Ling Yun made Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu the two Elders of the Green Dragon Sect. Even though Tie Xiaohu didn't think much of the position, Tang Meng was living a very comfortable and happy life.
He got Abing to pick seven capable underlings from each of the four halls of the Green Dragon Sect. There were a total of twenty-eight of them. They were specially assigned to work for him, which saved him a lot of trouble.
This time, Tang Meng had brought a total of five people with him to Beijing to deliver the gifts to Lingyun. They were handpicked from the group of twenty-eight people. They were bodyguards, security guards, chauffeurs, and all sorts of menial tasks. Tang Meng had a lot of fun doing them.
Tang Meng really knows how to enjoy life more than I do …
Ling Yun was speechless. However, he thought about how Tang Meng had to deal with so many things every day. He needed someone to run errands for him so that he would have time to do the most important things. This was basically what Ling Yun taught Tang Meng personally. It was just that Tang Meng carried it forward and used it to his fullest potential.
"Take it, don't worry. I'll get Tang Meng to treat you well. How can you just put in effort without any benefits …"
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Similarly, people wouldn't do anything without benefits. No matter how strict the rules were, it wasn't as good as giving enough benefits.
Ling Yun understood this very well. He ordered the two underlings of the Green Dragon Sect to keep the money and then sent them away.
After finally sending the two of them away, Ling Yun gave Tang Meng a call and asked him to return as soon as possible. Then, he went to the basement of the courtyard house.
After passing through the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation, Ling Yun immediately saw Cao Tianlong sitting cross-legged in the basement.
In the past two days, apart from taking care of his family, Cao Tianlong had been training hard in order to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Seeing Ling Yun enter, Cao Tianlong stood up immediately.
"How are they?"
With a sweep of his divine sense, Ling Yun knew that all ten members of the Cao Family had entered a deep sleep.
"It's much better than two days ago. My grandfather and father said that they could feel the loyalty and subservience in their blood getting weaker and weaker …"
"Ling Yun, thank you. It's all thanks to this stone. It's really useful!" Cao Tianlong said as he pointed at the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone in Cao Junxiong's hand.
"Hmm, that's good …" Ling Yun nodded and asked Cao Tianlong, "Is there enough blood?"
Cao Tianlong frowned slightly. "When they're awake, they're very resistant to drinking blood. They only drink a little at night when there's no other choice. That's why this blood is enough for a long time."
Ling Yun asked Cao Tianlong a few more questions. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he said to Cao Tianlong, "I'm going to rescue Shanshan tonight."
Cao Tianlong was very excited. He asked excitedly, "Really? "You found my sister's hiding place?"
Cao Tianlong asked excitedly. "I didn't find it, but it's almost there. I planted the thousand-mile soul chasing powder on Chen Jianwei. It'll be a piece of cake to find him!"
"Do you need me to help?"
"No, you just have to take good care of your family. I've already gotten my hands on Chen Jianwei's blood, and I've been researching how to make use of it. No matter what, we have to break the blood pact first. The blood pact of The Embrace is too domineering!" Ling Yun smiled and shook his head.
Ling Yun had undergone The Embrace a few times. He understood how domineering it could be. He was very wary of it.
"Right, I have some good news for you!"
Ling Yun told Cao Tianlong about how he killed hundreds of ancient martial arts masters and ninjas in the Chen Family's mansion in the southern suburbs. Cao Tianlong's blood boiled with excitement!
"I've killed the head of the Chen Family, Chen Haizhen. The Chen Family suffered heavy losses last night!"
"What? You killed Chen Haizhen? "Cao Tianlong was shocked.
Ling Yun smiled nonchalantly. "Your family is already in such a state. Don't wallow in grief all day. You don't have to cultivate so hard either. There's tension and relaxation in the path of martial arts. You have to take it step by step …"
Ling Yun was worried that Cao Tianlong would go berserk.
"Eat and rest. The ingredients for the Spirit Cleansing Talisman have arrived. I'll make some more Spirit Cleansing Talismans for you."
After meeting with Cao Tianlong, Ling Yun quickly left the basement. After he came out, he drove his Land Rover and left the courtyard house.
Ling Yun drove the Land Rover along the Fifth Ring Road to the Chen Family's mansion in the southern suburbs. Ling Yun had stopped his search for Cao Shanshan from there to save his second uncle, Ling Yue.
Ling Yun pretended to be passing by as he drove to the entrance of the Chen Family's mansion. Indeed, he found the trace of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder. Ling Yun smiled proudly as he sped up the car and followed the trace of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder towards the southeast of Beijing.
Who knew that Ling Yun would chase it out of Beijing and onto the Sixth Ring Road. He followed the Sixth Ring Road all the way north, past the Shunyi District, and finally to the Huairou District in the northeast of Beijing!
"F * ck, where did Chen Jianwei hide Shanshan?"
Ling Yun muttered to himself, but he didn't let his guard down. He followed the scent of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder directly onto the highway from Beijing to Chengde. He drove all the way to Miyun.
"Miyun Reservoir!"
Ling Yun arrived at the Miyun Reservoir after another half an hour. He determined the direction of the scent of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder and got off the Jingcheng Highway, heading toward the deep mountains and forests in the north.
It was already past four-thirty in the afternoon, and the sky was gloomier than ever. Dark clouds loomed overhead, and a storm seemed to be coming at any time.
The roads became more and more difficult to drive on. Ling Yun had no choice but to find a place to park his car. He then found a place with no one around and plunged into the dense forest!
The scent of the thousand-mile soul chasing powder became stronger as Ling Yun got further and further away from the nearby mountain villages. Obviously, this was where Chen Jianwei was most active.
"F * ck, he actually hid Shanshan in a cave!"
Ling Yun entered the deep mountainous area around the Miyun Reservoir. He scanned the surroundings and cursed bitterly. (To be continued.)
