"Ah, Young Master, are you here? Are you here?" Hearing Ling Dong's voice but not seeing Ling Dong's figure, Gao Yuan thought that he was too anxious and was hallucinating. He looked around in the Myriad Star Palace.
"It's me, Gao Yuan. Tell me, what happened in the clan?" Ling Dong said anxiously. He also blamed himself. These days, he was a little careless.
Since he ordered all his clansmen to leave the Myriad Star Palace before entering the Long An Star Palace, they were not allowed to enter the Myriad Stars House again without his notice. This was mainly because the Long An Star Palace was a world of its own.
Because of this, Ling Dong had not seen the situation in the Myriad Star Palace during this time, causing his clansmen to search for him but to no avail.
"Young Master, it's like this. First, for some unknown reason, the entire Yuanzhou collapsed, especially the sects and clans on the mountain suffered heavy losses. It is said that the headquarters of the Tenmu Temple was also seriously damaged. Then, an order was passed down to the hall masters to stabilize the place and to provide some Reiki for repair. "Gao Yuan said.
Hearing this, Ling Dong's face turned a little dark. It was probably because all of this was caused by him. He hurriedly asked, "Are there any casualties in the clan?" To Ling Dong, Reiki could be earned again. People were the foundation of everything.
Gao Yuan, however, showed a sad expression, "Our clan members did not suffer any injuries, at most some abrasions. However, the slaves and miners in the clan's mines suffered heavy casualties. Because they were all in the belly of the mountain when the incident happened, all of them were seriously injured. Most of the clan's mines were also destroyed. "
Ling Dong's expression was a little ugly, "Can they be compensated?"
"Young Master, according to the clan's rules, we have already compensated them." Gao Yuan replied.
Without waiting for Ling Dong to ask again, Gao Yuan said, "After the Tenmu Temple headquarters gave the order, Cheng and a few commanders also took charge and followed it. However, a few days later, the Tenmu Temple headquarters sent a special inspection team to inspect each branch. Unfortunately, they found our Yangkou branch hall and found many problems. "
"What do you mean?" In fact, Ling Dong had already guessed that Chief Mei from the Tenmu Temple's monitoring headquarters, whom he had offended, was here to deal with him.
In fact, although the Tenmu Temple was a large force formed by warriors, it was still somewhat similar to a secular dynasty.
Ling Dong was like a local official, and the personnel of the Tenmu Temple headquarters were the core of the empire. However, the promotion and acquisition of official positions here were all linked to the strength of the warrior, so there wasn't too much secular etiquette. Their functions were still the same. They were all to manage the commoners of the secular world in their territories and reap benefits from them.
Now, it was time for the big boss of the central government that he had offended to deal with him.
"They said that the Hall Master neglected his duties, ignored the orders of the headquarters, had loose regulations, had no regard for the rules of the palace, and so on. They all blamed you, young master," Gao Yuan said.
"They want to touch me with these insignificant things?" Ling Dong laughed coldly. "They must have other motives, right?"
"That's right. They used this as an excuse to stay in our Yangkou Hall. Every day, they took turns to reprimand a few commanders and deputy hall masters. As long as they had some position in the hall, they would reprimand them four or five times. However, ten days ago, they suddenly dug up the matter of Pitt's Envoy's death.
They said that you were the one who tried to murder Pitt's Envoy with stolen goods. They wanted to interrogate you. " At this point, Gao Yuan's expression suddenly turned bitter. "However, there's been no news from you, young master. These days, they've directly accused you of being afraid of punishment and disobeying the orders of the headquarters. They want the Ling family to hand you over, young master. Otherwise … "
"Otherwise what?" Ling Dong's voice had already turned somewhat cold. If you wanted to accuse someone, you could easily find a way to do so. Moreover, according to Gao Yuan, the Supervisory Special Envoy team from the headquarters had taken turns to reprimand the leaders of the Yangkou branch hall. They must have made some arrangements. As long as he appeared, he would be able to convict Ling Dong of this crime. Ling Dong had seen this kind of trick many times before.
"Two days ago, they gave the Ling family a final warning. If the young master didn't appear in three days, they would trample the Ling family on the grounds that the young master was plotting against them and had absconded from punishment! Currently, the Law Enforcement Hall martial artists of the Tenmu Temple have started a confrontation with the family. We had no choice but to try to enter here to contact the young master. We did enter, but we haven't received any news from the young master, "Gao Yuan said.
Within a certain distance, the Ling family could contact Ling Dong through the Old Wood Demon guarding there. However, if they were too far away, it would be difficult for Ling Dong and the Old Wood Demon, Dumby, to communicate with each other through their souls.
"Final warning? Trample the Ling family? How arrogant! " Ling Dong sneered when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, what is the attitude of Gongsun Zhanyi, the leader of the Yuanzhou branch of the Tenmu Temple?"
"About four or five days ago, Leader Gongsun came here. The two Centurion, Pingmiao and Jin Fu, who had been protecting the Ling family, stopped talking. It was also after that that they gave the Ling family a final warning to hand over the young master," Gao Yuan said.
"What an untamed wolf cub! Is Leader Gongsun treating me as a sacrificial pawn? " This thought flashed through Ling Dong's mind. Then, Ling Dong asked, "The final warning is tomorrow?"
"Young master, it is before sunset tomorrow. If you don't appear before sunset tomorrow, the Law Enforcement Hall will trample the Ling family," Gao Yuan replied.
"Okay, I understand. If there is any emergency, you can come to the Ten Thousand Star Palace to report to me at any time. I have a way to deal with it. In addition, I will definitely rush back before sunset tomorrow," Ling Dong said.
Ling Dong made this decision after careful consideration. Now that he had arrived in Liao Province, there was still one and a half days left. There would be no problem for him to rush back to the Ling family in Yuanzhou.
Even if that group of people attacked the Ling family in advance, the Ling family was not someone that anyone could bully now. The Ling family now had nearly ten Star Monarchs, which was not to be trifled with. Moreover, the Old Wood Demon was there to protect them. Relying on the green mountains and clear waters, the Old Wood Demon's combat power could become extremely powerful.
Just like the Black Tortoise in the water, the Old Wood Demon's strength would increase by several times in an instant.
Even if they had absolute strength, Ling Dong was not afraid. Ling Dong's Myriad Stars House was connected to the Blood and Soul left in the family. Although Ling Dong's people could not directly return to the family through the Myriad Stars House, the others did not have this restriction.
As long as Ling Dong was willing, Ling Dong could casually send a few strong reinforcements over.
Therefore, after hearing the whole story, Ling Dong was not in a hurry. After thinking for a while, he had a plan.
"Oh, right, Gao Yuan, don't spread the news that you found me for the time being. You just need to secretly pay attention. If there is a crisis that you can't deal with, just report to me immediately. " Ling Dong's action was to test the ability of the family's upper echelons. After all, they could not be protected by Ling Dong forever.
"Yes, Gao Yuan understands!"
"Young master Ling, young master Ling? Am I too greedy? Or is there a limit to the number of people in the secret mansion? " When Ling Dong's consciousness left a message in the Residence of Ten Thousand Stars, Old Hai, who was outside, had an awkward expression on his face.
Since he said that he would listen to Ling Dong's secret mansion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, Ling Dong seemed to be stunned. His expression changed from time to time, but there was no response. This made Old Hai more and more embarrassed. Bai Bai Xuan and Bai Han were also puzzled.
"Uh … Old Hai misunderstood." Ling Dong hurriedly explained, "There was an urgent message from the family just now. There was an accident and I need to rush back quickly."
"Then …" Old Hai became more and more embarrassed. With his status, mentioning the matter just now once was already embarrassing. Mentioning it twice would be shameless of him.
"Of course, you are welcome, welcome." Ling Dong hurriedly agreed, but then he frowned and asked, "May I ask how long Old Hai's lifespan is left?"
Hearing this, Old Hai's expression dimmed. "About a hundred years, or else it wouldn't be like this …" Old Hai smiled bitterly.
"A hundred years, that's good! Because Island Master Bai's Divine Soul is injured, he must leave with me. However, Liao Province can't be left unguarded. Old Hai, I'm afraid you won't have time to enter my secret mansion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. However, after the situation in the Long Safe Territory stabilizes, you won't have to worry about these things, "Ling Dong said.
"Ha, young master Ling, why would I be so impatient? I just decided on this matter early." Speaking of this, Old Hai suddenly became serious. "Then, the rise and fall of our Liao Province's Sea Suppressing Bloodline will be handed over to young master Ling. If young master Ling has any orders, you can order Liao Province with just a talisman. "
Old Hai handed over a talisman book and said, "Liao Province might seem chaotic, but in fact, it's all controlled by our Sea Suppressing Alliance. This talisman book can be used by Liao Province. Young master Ling, please use it as you see fit. The Star Luo Divine Palace will rely on young master Ling's protection. "
Old Hai's last sentence was the main point, the core. It was another level of exchange of benefits. Now that they had offended the Star Luo Divine Palace, only Ling Dong could fight against the Star Luo Divine Palace. This was the most fundamental reason why they were willing to listen to Ling Dong today.
They believed that no matter how many conditions Ling Dong put forward, they would compromise and agree in the end. However, Ling Dong didn't do that.
"Just now, there was an urgent message from the family that Ling needs to go back. Now that everything is settled, Ling will take his leave. " Then, Ling Dong looked at Bai Bai Xuan and asked, "Island Master Bai, do you need to prepare anything?"
"When people of my generation go out, why do I need to prepare anything else?" Bai Bai Xuan smiled and got up to Ling Dong's side. Together with Old Hai and Bai Han, they sent Ling Dong out.
When they walked out of the small pavilion, Ling Dong's footsteps suddenly stopped. He pointed at the Bodhi Light Tree exuding a refreshing fragrance and said in surprise, "Yi, Island Master Bai, if I'm not wrong, isn't this the legendary Bodhi Light Tree that can awaken the spirit?"
Old Hai, Bai Bai Xuan and Bai Han all looked surprised when they heard this. "Young master Ling's knowledge is indeed extraordinary. You actually recognize this Bodhi Light Tree?"
Ling Dong revealed a look of reminiscence. "According to what Ling knows, this Bodhi Light Tree is extremely difficult to grow. It's already extremely difficult to grow one. Island Master Bai, I'm afraid there are thousands of them here, right? I don't know if Island Master Bai has any secret methods? "
Ling Dong had a curious expression, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Bai Xuan's reaction.
