"How could this be? Puff! " Ying Xiong, the Ying Family's Grand Elder, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned ghastly pale, and an extremely complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
Humiliation, anger, and a complicated expression that almost drove him crazy. His leopard eyes widened, and he pointed his halberd at the distance. His mouth was wide open, and he wanted to curse. However, it was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word!
"Ugh … Ugh …" Ying Xiong was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Ying Feiluo, who was originally waiting for the good news to take revenge, and Ying Ji, who had lost his physical body, were frightened by the situation before them.
The one-armed Ying Feiluo hurriedly went forward and patted Ying Xiong's back to calm him down. At the same time, he sent a strand of peaceful Gang Qi into Ying Xiong's body. However, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Great Uncle, what, what's going on? What happened? Is the mysterious person's background too powerful, or is the mysterious person not the strange person we're looking for? "
"Ah … I'm so angry, I'm so angry! You bastard with the surname Ling, if I don't crush you into meat paste in this life, I swear I'm not a human! "Ying Xiong, who was relieved by Ying Feiluo's help, immediately pointed at the distance and cursed.
Even Ying Feiluo who stood at the side was extremely shocked when he saw that expression of hatred towards Ling Dong. Because in his impression, even though Great Uncle had a fiery temper, he had never seen him lose his temper like this in all these years!
However, at this moment, when he saw that the Great Uncle was extremely angry, he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. He just patted Ying Xiong's back to calm him down.
Only when Ying Xiong's breathing had stabilized and his leopard eyes slightly relaxed, did he give a look to the Fourth Great Uncle, Ying Ji, who was sighing with Xing Hun. He signaled the latter to ask what had happened.
"Big Brother, this … what's going on? What did you find after you searched his soul?" Although he was extremely heartbroken over the loss of his physical body, Ying Ji still pulled himself together and asked this question.
"This … that … this … sigh!" After speaking for a long time, Ying Xiong fiercely stomped his foot, looking extremely regretful. Ying Feiluo and Ying Ji were looking forward to it. Only then did Ying Xiong sigh and say, "The three brothers that we killed and searched for their souls were not the Martial Granduncle Ling!"
"That young man's surname is Ling? If these three brothers aren't his Martial Granduncles, then who are they? "Because he had lost his physical body, Ying Ji had become somewhat stupid, or perhaps he hadn't reacted in time. However, the face of Ying Feiluo, who had always been quick to react, instantly turned ghastly pale.
"Who is it?" Ying Xiong's face was filled with hatred. "It's that Ling brat's enemy! The three Zhu Yi Elders are also here to kill that little bastard surnamed Ling. They've been chasing him for half a day already! "
"Sigh, in the end, after taking a huge detour, we finally managed to catch up. The two groups of enemies of that brat surnamed Ling started a bloody battle on the surface of the sea. One of them even detonated his own Astral Soul, causing our side to suffer even more losses! If others were to know about this, they would laugh their heads off! "Ying Xiong said dejectedly.
At the side, Ying Feiluo, who had already figured out the whole story and had suffered a huge blow, said in a daze, "Not only are we being laughed at, we're basically being played by that brat. All five hundred of our Ying Family's elites have been played by that bastard!"
"After the battle, the five hundred elites have been reduced to less than a hundred! Of the remaining hundred, most of them are the outer martial troops. The true core of our Ying Family, the Celestial Monarchs, were all annihilated in that explosion. They were all annihilated … "As he spoke, Ying Feiluo seemed to have lost his soul.
"It's over. Our Ying Family's core elites are basically finished. Our Ying Family …"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!" Ying Xiong and Ying Ji shouted at the same time. It was as if a thunderbolt had struck on a sunny day. Ying Feiluo, who had lost his soul from drinking, suddenly sobered up. Looking at the strange gazes directed at him from all directions, Ying Feiluo hastily shot out a Fu Ling. The surviving Ying Family's martial troops immediately spread out in all directions.
"Granduncle …" Ying Feiluo called out with great grievance. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He clearly knew what the losses of the two great battles that he had comprehended meant to the Ying Family. Perhaps the surrounding families that had been eyeing the Ying Family covetously would mobilize their troops and swallow up the Ying Family in one fell swoop once they received the news. This was also the reason why Ying Feiluo had lost his soul earlier.
After the shout, Ying Xiong, Ying Ji, and Ying Feiluo, the grandfather and grandson, looked at each other blankly. None of them could say anything.
After a long while, Ying Xiong heaved a long sigh. "Sigh. I, Ying Xiong, who had been a hero for my entire life, have been played by this brat today. I even lost the main force of our family. This is really …"
Ying Feiluo and Ying Ji revealed an ashamed expression at the same time.
In truth, although the loss of their family was hard to accept, it had already happened. What made them feel the most unbearable was the feeling of being played like a fool.
That feeling filled them with a sense of failure and frustration. This would be a depressing memory that they would never be able to erase from their hearts.
"Big brother, the most important thing now is to deal with the crisis before us. Without the deterrence of this elite force, our Ying Family might be able to … "Ying Ji, who only had his Astral Soul left, said with a bitter expression.
A hint of sternness appeared at the corner of Ying Xiong's lips. "Deal with it? How should we deal with it? Celestial Monarch experts aren't like potatoes. They're not something that can be obtained as and when you want them. Even the Celestial Monarch experts in our Ying Family were slowly accumulated and nurtured over the past thousand years. Now, there are only two paths left for our Ying Family. "
"Which two paths?" Ying Feiluo asked.
"The first path is a dead end! We'll return and see how long this news can be concealed. When the day comes that the news is leaked, we'll fight to the death and be buried with the Ying Family! "
When he heard the words' be buried with the Ying Family ', Ying Feiluo's face turned ghastly pale.
"Big brother, what about the second path?"
Ying Xiong's leopard-like eyes looked at Ying Ji and Ying Feiluo. A crazy light flashed in his eyes. "The second path is the path of survival in this desperate situation. We'll continue to stake everything on this one throw and find that mysterious person. We'll capture that mysterious person! As long as we capture that mysterious person and hand him over to the higher-ups, our Ying Family will be able to escape from this desperate situation! "
Ying Feiluo frowned when he heard that. He asked in confusion, "Uncle, even if we capture that mysterious person, it won't solve our Ying Family's desperate situation, right? Distant water can't quench our present thirst! "
Ying Xiong shook his head. "Feiluo, you still don't understand the temptation of the reward that they're offering! Five quotas that will definitely allow us to take that step! Let alone five, even if there's only one quota, as long as one of our Ying Family members can become the true god of Zhou Tian! Hmph, let alone the surrounding forces, even the Taihō Palace will be controlled by our Ying Family! "
"So powerful?" Ying Feiluo gasped in shock.
"Feiluo, the quota's effect will only be stronger! Maybe as long as this news spreads, our Ying Family's reputation will rise. "Ying Ji added.
"Uncle, it's just breaking through a big realm. I'm afraid the effect won't be as great as you think, right?" Ying Feiluo tried his best to express his opinion. He suddenly felt that his two uncles seemed to be a little crazy.
Ying Xiong's eyes suddenly shot out a yearning look. "Feiluo, actually, you haven't completely touched that step! At that time, you'll know why we haven't broken through that step. No matter how hard we cultivate, no matter how much Gang Qi we accumulate, we're still martial artists!
As long as we break through that step, we'll be immortals. The real difference between a human and a god is definitely beyond your imagination! "
"That step is the difference between a human and a god? No matter how hard we cultivate, we're still human and martial artists? "Ying Feiluo asked, not fully understanding.
"Yes! Which path do you think our Ying Family should choose? "Ying Xiong asked.
"Brother, needless to say, of course it's the second path!"
"Uncle, if the difference between a human and a god is really so terrifying, then the second path is the only way for our Ying Family to survive!" Ying Feiluo replied.
Ying Xiong nodded heavily. "Feiluo, immediately arrange people to escort your Fourth Uncle back to the family. We'll continue to hunt down that mysterious man!"
Hearing this, Ying Feiluo looked surprised. "Uncle, with just the two of us? I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to take down that mysterious man, right? Also, before we take action, shouldn't we figure out how we fell into that guy's trap? "
"Is this important? It's nothing more than someone leaking our whereabouts. It's nothing more than that guy's spies in advance or the Sea Suppression Alliance that knows our whereabouts.
However, this is not the time to settle this score. The important thing is to find that guy's whereabouts! " Speaking of this, Ying Xiong paused and asked, "Feiluo, how long can your Void Shattering Light last? Are you sure it's effective?"
Speaking of his Void Shattering Light, Ying Feiluo's face flashed with pride. "Uncle, my Void Shattering Light can last for a month. Only four or five days have passed! As for its effect, even the Old Ancestor can't get rid of it, unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless he uses a Teleportation Formation to leave this world directly or enter some strange space. However, as long as he comes out, the Void Shattering Light can immediately track him!" Ying Feiluo replied.
"Okay, then we'll find a place to heal ourselves while looking for that bastard. This time, we must capture that guy alive!" Ying Xiong said sternly.
However, before Ying Xiong finished speaking, Ying Feiluo asked in confusion, "But uncle, even if we find him, with just the two of us, let alone capture that mysterious man, it's difficult to defeat him! This seems to be … "
Ying Xiong smiled sternly. "Feiluo, have you forgotten our Ying Family's last trump card, our strongest force?"
Ying Feiluo's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise. "The strongest force, isn't it …"
"Do you think we don't have any special means?" Ying Xiong's face was full of sternness.
