During lunch, Mansion Number One, which had been in a state of extreme tension and depression for the past few days, was naturally more cheerful and cheerful than two days ago because of Ling Yun's safe return and the rescue of the two girls. The atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed.
However, this was only on the surface.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the gloomy clouds hanging over Mansion Number One hadn't dissipated. Instead, it was getting heavier and heavier. It was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heart.
Because Ling Yun took the risk alone and placed the main battlefield at the Celestial Ridge, Mansion Number One, or perhaps the entire Qingshui City, looked calm and peaceful. There weren't any battles, but this was more like the calm before the storm.
Everyone wasn't as relaxed as they looked on the surface. This could be seen from Qin Dongxue's forced smile and Ling Yun's solemn face as he ate.
Ling Yun fought a life and death battle at the Celestial Ridge for two consecutive nights while Qin Dongxue presided over the situation in Qingshui City to ensure everyone's safety.
These two people were very important to the villa and to everyone in the villa. Their bad mood naturally determined everyone's mood.
However, Ling Yun's solemn face wasn't because he was afraid. It was because he had something to say after thinking about it repeatedly.
Qin Dongxue, who had always been domineering and confident, suddenly looked uneasy today. She was even visibly anxious because she received a message.
After a quick lunch, Ling Yun didn't leave the dining table. He waited quietly for everyone to clear the table before gathering them together.
"Many things have happened these few days. Some of them are very important to us, and I think I should tell you clearly so that everyone knows what is going on. At the same time, I have a few things to announce."
Ling Yun chose to get straight to the point. This time, Ling Yun didn't deliberately pretend to be indifferent, nor did he show his usual lazy indifference. That was because everything he was about to say would affect everyone's life and death.
Here, in front of him, everyone was his family, his women, and his brothers!
Any one of these people was far more important than all of his businesses in Qingshui City!
They could not afford to lose any one of them!
Therefore, Ling Yun was very serious. He glanced at the crowd and said word by word, "Next, I'll speak and you guys listen. Before I finish, no one is allowed to interrupt."
"Everyone knows that three days ago at this time, an uninvited guest came to Villa No.1. This guest's name is Bi Yuanjia. He used to work for the Sun Family."
"Bi Yuanjia brought me some very important news, but to put it bluntly, there is only one piece of news."
Finally, his gaze landed on Lin Menghan and Yao Rou. Smiling slowly, he eased the tense atmosphere in the room and explained.
"At that time, Menghan and Rou 'er were missing, and we didn't know if they were dead or alive. At that time, everyone was already very nervous, and I also didn't have any real confidence in the direction of the entire situation. So, I suppressed this news and didn't tell anyone. "
"However, if the bowstring is too tight, it will break. Now that the two of them have returned safely, I think it's time to tell everyone."
At this point, everyone in the room, except for Qin Dongxue, who already knew the truth, became unprecedentedly nervous. Everyone held their breath and stared at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun didn't let everyone wait for too long. He smiled and continued, "Actually, that news isn't that big of a deal. Everyone vaguely understood it."
"It's just that some ancient sects and hidden families in Huaxia, as well as some of my enemies, came to Qingshui City to find trouble with me."
As soon as Ling Yun said this, everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief. The beauties rolled their eyes at him. The meaning in their eyes was very clear. What kind of lousy news is this? We already knew it!
"But what you don't know is which sects and families are the enemies who have come to find trouble with me, and who exactly are the enemies who have sworn a grudge against me!"
"Now, I'll tell you one by one!"
"This time, the ancient sects are Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun Sword Sect, Maoshan Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Deity Sword Villa, Divine Fist Sect, Hades Sect …"
"There are also many hidden families, including the Ximen Family, Nangong Family, Shangguan Family, Northwest Iron Spear Lei Family …"
When the names of the ancient sects and hidden families came out of Ling Yun's mouth one by one, everyone in the room, including Qin Dongxue, was shocked!
There were simply too many of them!
However, these weren't all. Ling Yun ignored everyone's shock and continued, "In addition, there are two big families in Beijing, the Chen Family and the Sun Family!"
"There's also the Blood Clan from the West, the Japanese ninjas …"
"Finally, the most dangerous enemy, the Devil Sect!"
Ling Yun listed out all the enemies in one breath. Then, he looked around at the pale faces of the people in the room. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "How is it? Do you know how many people have come to Qingshui City to find trouble with me?"
No one replied. Everyone's faces were pale and shocked. Ling Yun had three thousand enemies!
Even Qin Dongxue, who had reached Xiantian Realm Level Five and was the undisputed number one in the Qin Family, couldn't help but tremble when she heard all his enemies!
"Big … Big Brother Yun … There … There are so many enemies, should we find some helpers …?"
Tang Meng couldn't help but stutter.
Ling Yun glanced at Tang Meng and teased, "Look at how scared you are. If I didn't have the confidence to deal with them, I would have gotten help long ago. Why would I wait for you to remind me?"
Then, he turned his head to look at the crowd and said with a calm expression, "Not a single enemy is missing. I've told everyone about it. Now, I have something to announce."
"As for those righteous sects and hidden families, since they haven't truly surfaced yet, let's not bother with them for now."
Ling Yun threw aside the fact that he didn't care about the most and said directly, "Let me first tell everyone about my battle in the Celestial Ridge for the past two consecutive nights."
"Since I'm standing here safe and sound, everyone naturally knows the results. There's no need to go into detail. I'm mainly going to tell everyone which forces I've eliminated after the two nights of battle."
"Actually, there are only two forces. One of them is sent by the Chen Family in Beijing, and the other is the three hidden families, the Shangguan Family, the Ximen Family, and the Nangong Family. I've already defeated them, and they've voluntarily announced that they won't provoke me again."
"The Chen Family sent the strongest force because the Blood Clan from the West and the ninjas from East Ocean all belong to the Chen Family!"
"But this most powerful force has been completely wiped out by me, not a single one of them is left!"
Ling Yun didn't go into detail about how thrilling the two nights of battle had been. He only talked about the results and his true purpose.
"The purpose of saying all this is to remind everyone that I'm now mortal enemies with the Chen Family in Beijing, be it public or private! There's no possibility of reconciliation. Both sides will fight to the death until one side is completely defeated! "
Ling Yun added the word 'public' and 'private', which naturally included his own Ling Family.
"Therefore, in the future, as long as we go against the Chen Family, don't have any illusions. Just fight them to the death!"
"This is the first thing I'm going to announce. Now, let's talk about the second thing."
"For the second thing, I'm going to talk about the Devil Sect. The Devil Sect is very powerful. The Assassins Organization was founded by them!"
Ling Yun's gaze fell on Lin Menghan and Yao Rou again. He didn't have the heart to say it, but he still didn't hesitate to tell the truth.
"However, the Devil's Sect is just a general name. They are not a monolithic entity. According to what I know, they are divided into two factions."
"There's a faction led by the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin, Ye Xingchen. Other than that, there's another faction led by one or more Devil Sect's Holy Sons. One of them is called Sikong Wuji, and he's currently in Qingshui City."
"There's one fact that I have to clarify here. That is, the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, Ye Xingchen, is helping me now. Last night, I officially formed an alliance with her."
"What?! Ling Yun, you … "
Lin Menghan couldn't hold it in anymore. She stood up in a flash, her body trembling. Her face was pale, and it was obvious that she couldn't accept this cruel reality.
Ling Yun looked at Lin Menghan calmly and said, "Menghan, don't be agitated. You'll understand after listening to me!"
"Last night, Chen Jianhao from the Chen Family, who was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight, teamed up with Tokugawa Muto and a powerful Marquis of the Blood Clan to set up a trap for me. If not for Ye Xingchen's timely help, I might have lost my life in the hands of the enemy!"
In order to make it easier for everyone to accept this truth, Ling Yun had to exaggerate and make the enemy seem more terrifying.
"Moreover, Menghan, Rou Er, the two of you were kidnapped by Ye Xingchen. Even though you suffered a lot, she actually saved you!
"If she hadn't acted first, you guys would've fallen into the hands of the Devil Sect's Holy Son, Sikong Wuji. That person is a demon. If you guys had fallen into his hands, I don't even dare to imagine the consequences."
"Even though she kidnapped you and trapped you for two days and two nights, she didn't really make things difficult for you. Think about it carefully. Am I right?
"Moreover, Ye Xingchen told me your whereabouts and why she kidnapped you the moment she saw me. Otherwise, how could I have saved you so easily?"
Ling Yun didn't give Lin Menghan a chance to question him at all. He explained everything clearly in one breath and let them judge for themselves.
"As for the personal feud between you, Rou Er, and Ye Xingchen, I won't care. If the two of you still want to settle the score with her, then work hard and use your own abilities to get back at her."
Seeing that Lin Menghan was still indignant, Ling Yun added another sentence, secretly provoking the two of them.
Both of them were at the critical juncture of breaking through to the Xiantian Realm. Ling Yun felt that they weren't far from breaking through.
At the same time, Big Brother Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, he finally pushed the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin, Ye Xingchen, in front of all the beauties!
"Not only is the Devil Sect's Holy Son Tian a potential opponent for Ye Xingchen, but they are also our strongest enemy in Qingshui City!
"They control countless assassins from the Assassins Organization. They are unscrupulous and unscrupulous. They will use all sorts of despicable means to deal with us!
"Sikong Wuji is here for my Devil's Underworld Essence Blade. There will definitely be a battle between him and me! What you need to do is to not give him any opportunities to take advantage of before this battle takes place. Don't let him use you to threaten me! "
"Therefore, the last thing I want to announce is the problem of your safety." Ling Yun finished the two announcements and said, "The last thing I want to announce is the problem of your safety."
"Menghan, Rou 'er, even though the two of you were kidnapped this time, you're safe and sound."
"However, I really can't guarantee who will be kidnapped and used to threaten me next time!"
Ling Yun suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Ning Lingyu, Cao Shanshan, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu … and everyone else. "You, you, you, and you …"
"No matter who it is, once you are captured, no matter how much suffering and humiliation you suffer, you must think of a way to deal with the enemy. Survival is the most important!
"You can't use stupid methods like hunger strikes, self-mutilation, or even suicide. You must believe that I will think of a way to save you!"
Ling Yun glared at the two of them as he spoke, causing them to lower their heads in shame. "Shanshan didn't have any power to protect herself when she was captured by Chen Jianwei. However, she didn't go on a hunger strike or commit suicide under such circumstances. She fought with that dead bat alone in the Chen Family's dungeon and the cave on Yunmeng Mountain for three months!"
"That's because she firmly believed that I would save her if I knew she was in trouble! That's why she chose to use her intelligence to deal with Chen Jianwei! "
"If you also believe in this, then please don't die. You have to live. Don't let me see a cold corpse when I find you!"
Ling Yun didn't speak for a long time after he finished speaking. The huge villa was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"You don't have to worry too much. This storm in Qingshui City will pass very soon."
"Those orthodox sects are nothing to worry about. Aunty and I will think of a way to deal with them."
Ling Yun regained his usual composure after everyone had more or less digested what Ling Yun said. "Since the Deity Sword Villa dares to be the first to show themselves, then we'll start with them!"
With that, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Ling Yun's mouth as he looked at Fairy Qin, who was getting more and more anxious. (To be continued.)
