"Clan Leader? You two still have the guts to call me Clan Leader? " As Jin Fu and Pingmiao exclaimed in shock, Ling Dong took a step forward and soared into the air. With just one step, he landed at the entrance of the Ling family castle.
Ling Dong's original intention was to observe for a while longer. At least, he wanted to let the Ling family be properly tested by the enemies who had come knocking on their door. However, Gongsun Zhanyi's appearance forced Ling Dong to make an early appearance. This was because Gongsun Zhanyi was extremely experienced in battle formations. With just one sentence, he had pointed out the fatal weakness of the Ling family's current defense circle. This forced Ling Dong to make an early appearance.
"The black-robed Enforcers, please retreat." Seeing Ling Dong's sudden appearance, Gongsun Zhanyi's eyes flashed with surprise. However, his expression remained stern.
However, the awkward thing was that the black-robed Enforcers did not listen to Gongsun Zhanyi's orders. After Special Envoy Yu snorted, the leader of the black-robed Enforcers quickly gave the order. The black-robed Enforcers, who had been fighting with the Ling family members, quickly retreated like the tide.
The situation had once again turned into a confrontation between the two armies. However, the Ling Family clansmen erupted into a wave of cheers. Even the Ling Family clansmen who could only watch from the rear due to their low cultivation levels also erupted into cheers.
"Young Clan Leader! Young Clan Leader! " The waves of cheers came one after another. The most direct effect was that the heavy worry written on the faces of the Ling family members immediately disappeared without a trace. What replaced it was confidence.
Strong confidence that came from the bottom of their hearts. It was as if as long as the Young Clan Leader appeared, he would be able to change the situation in one fell swoop. Seeing this, Gongsun Zhanyi and Special Envoy Yu, as well as a few mysterious beings who were secretly observing the situation from a few miles away, were all a little surprised.
At first glance, it seemed that the Ling family's behavior was too childish. However, even Cheng Dongyuan and Ji Yuanbai showed such expressions. This could only mean that Ling Dong's prestige was extremely high.
"Palace Master Ling, we … we …" After being questioned by Ling Dong, Jin Fu and Pingmiao instantly showed a terrified expression. They wanted to explain, but after looking at Ling Dong, and then looking at Special Envoy Yu and former Region Governor Gongsun Zhanyi, they didn't dare to say anything.
Even the Wu soldiers standing behind Jin Fu and Ping Miao seemed to be a little uneasy. This made the few people who were secretly observing even more surprised.
Most of their understanding of Ling Dong, including Gongsun Zhanyi, stopped at the talisman intelligence reports. Now, as soon as Ling Dong appeared, he inexplicably suppressed the situation with just one sentence. This caused a sentence to flash through their minds — it was better to meet him in person than to hear about him.
"Father, I'm late. I've made you worry." At this time, Ling Dong didn't care about Jin Fu and Pingmiao's explanation. Instead, he turned to the Ling family and greeted his father, grandfather, and other uncles one by one.
On the way back, Bai Han and Bai Bai Xuan's father-son relationship was very deep. However, it also evoked Ling Dong's sorrow from his previous life, which led to this scene.
As for the black-robed law enforcers who wanted to flatten the Ling family and covetously eyeing them, Ling Dong directly ignored them. He was incomparably domineering.
During this time, the white-robed Special Envoy Yu wanted to open his mouth and give orders several times, but he was secretly stopped by Gongsun Zhanyi using his Spirit Sense.
"It's good that you're back safely. It's good that you're back safely!" Ling Yuanshan murmured, his eyes full of gratification.
After a pause, Ling Yuanshan said again, "Dong-er, since you're back, I'll leave this matter to you to deal with!" At this point, Ling Yuanshan's face suddenly darkened. "However, no matter how you deal with Dong-er, you must not bring down the prestige of the Ling family. Our Ling family is not something that can be casually framed by others."
Ling Yuanshan's words also hinted that if they wanted to resolve today's matter, they had to start from the fact that these people had framed them for no reason. After all, in the eyes of Ling Yuanshan and the other higher-ups of the Ling family, they couldn't directly become enemies with the Tenmu Temple.
The strength of the Tenmu Temple wasn't something that the Ling family could contend against.
"Yes, father, don't worry. I'll definitely make them give the Ling family a satisfactory explanation." Ling Dong bowed and responded. He abruptly turned around and pointed at Jin Fu and Pingmiao as he shouted, "The two of you actually dared to betray me. On account of your hard work in the past, you can kill yourselves. I won't pursue the matter of your families."
Perhaps they were intimidated by Ling Dong's power, but Jin Fu and Pingmiao's faces suddenly became incomparably ugly. They explained in a voice that was close to tears, "Hall Master, we were also forced to …"
"Shut up!" While Jin Fu and Pingmiao were begging for mercy, the white-robed Special Envoy Yu roared. His voice was like thunder, but his face was full of pride.
"What do you mean by betraying you? Jin Fu and Pingmiao are the Centurion of the Yangkou branch hall of the Tenmu Temple. They are only loyal to the Tenmu Temple. How can they betray you, the Hall Master?
You even threatened them with their families. As expected, you're up to no good. You're up to no good. " In an instant, the white-robed Special Envoy Yu pointed at Ling Dong and scolded him. But when he scolded him, his face was full of pride.
"Ling Dong, Zhu, we planned to give you a chance to prove your innocence after we found you. We didn't expect you to be so ambitious and conspire against us. Needless to say, Pitt's Envoy of the Monitoring Headquarters must have known about your conspiracy and was framed by you to silence him!" The white-robed Special Envoy Yu was actually quite happy in his heart, but he was also quite depressed.
His subtext was that if they had known that Ling Dong would be so direct, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to talk to the leaders of the Yangkou branch hall one by one. Then, they would have paid such a huge price to settle Gongsun Zhanyi.
Just based on Ling Dong's words, the Monitoring Headquarters could convict Ling Dong of treason. That's right, the crime of treason.
Although the Tenmu Temple was the Jianghu court for martial artists, martial artists were still fundamentally human. It was just that their individual strength was extremely strong. But no matter how strong their individual strength was, they couldn't break away from the category of human.
Therefore, in the Jianghu court of the Tenmu Temple, the Jianghu court of martial artists, it was still the same as the imperial court of the secular world. It was just a change of name.
In fact, the white-robed Special Envoy Yu wasn't the only one who was surprised by Ling Dong's behavior. Even Gongsun Zhanyi and a few martial artists who were hiding in the distance and secretly observing this place were extremely surprised by Ling Dong's behavior.
Any of them thought that Ling Dong would first make trouble for Special Envoy Yu. From the level of the Tenmu Temple's rules, this was a possibility that they had already calculated and made arrangements for.
As long as Ling Dong opened his mouth in this direction, they would immediately create an ironclad case for Ling Dong that no one could find fault with. But now, it didn't seem to make much of a difference.
However, what happened next shocked them even more. It also surprised the members of the Ling family, Ling Yuanshan, Guan Xingzi, Chu Fangyue, Cheng Dongyuan, and the others.
The young patriarch of the Ling family, Ling Dong, actually ignored Special Envoy Yu's words. Instead, he continued to stare at Pingmiao and Jin Fu and shouted, "What? Are you waiting for me to make a move? Could it be that you think they can stand up for you? "
Ling Dong directly ignored the white clothed Special Envoy Yu's words, instantly causing the white clothed Special Envoy Yu's face to turn red and purple. Even a fart could cause people to cry out in alarm.
He proudly shouted at Ling Dong, but the other party acted as if he didn't hear him. Instantly, this white clothed Special Envoy Yu was put on the spot.
It was like a high-ranking official in the secular world who saw an acquaintance of some value in the crowd. He hurriedly identified himself and greeted him, but this acquaintance ignored him and focused on talking with his subordinates. The situation was as awkward as it could get.
Special Envoy Yu was embarrassed and was about to speak when Jin Fu, who was panicking after being shouted at by Ling Dong, suddenly thought of what Special Envoy Yu had said before. His expression hardened and he shouted, "Palace Master Ling, don't go too far! I, Jin Fu, am the centurion captain of the Tenmu Temple and the centurion captain of the Yangkou branch hall of the Tenmu Temple. I am loyal to the Tenmu Temple. How can I betray you? "
When Pingmiao heard Jin Fu's words, he revealed a panicked expression. However, the embarrassed Special Envoy Yu took this opportunity to find a way out. He hurriedly shouted, "Good job, Jin Fu! After today, you will enter the main hall and break through to the Star Monarch realm. After that, you will be the next hall master of the Yangkou branch hall! Hmph, I want to see what Ling Dong can do to you. "
"Jin Fu thanks Special Envoy!" Jin Fu was overjoyed when he saw that the Special Envoy had actually spoken up to support him. As he knelt on one knee and thanked Special Envoy Yu, he also pulled down Pingmiao, who had a panicked expression on his face. He was hinting that Pingmiao should learn from him and find a companion to put his heart at ease.
Before Ping Miao could refuse, Ling Dong turned his head slightly and glanced at the white-clothed Special Envoy Yu. The corners of his mouth suddenly rose with a trace of fierceness. "Jin Fu, do you think this person surnamed Yu can protect you?"
"Of course! Palace Master Ling, you are only a Second or Third Level Star Monarch. No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than the Tenmu Temple … "Jin Fu seemed to be self-comforting as he spoke. Suddenly, he saw Ling Dong's forehead move strangely, as if he had thought of something.
Although the cultivation of Ling Dong's wood-type Star Soul had reached the Ninth Level Star Monarch realm, the cultivation of his other Star Souls were still at the Second Level Star Monarch realm. Therefore, in general, Ling Dong's martial arts senses, his cultivation was still at the Second or Third Level Star Monarch realm.
He was instantly scared out of his wits. He anxiously roared, "Special Envoy Yu, save me!" A thick protective aura had already surged out from his body, and a red Divine Soul power was gushing out from his forehead.
"Chi …"
Almost at the same time that Jin Fu discovered the abnormality, a purple brilliance suddenly shot out from the third level profound pupil on Ling Dong's forehead that had soundlessly opened. The moment Jin Fu's forehead surged with a crimson divine soul brilliance for defense, the purple brilliance broke into Jin Fu's head as if it had entered an unobstructed realm.
Jin Fu's entire body trembled. He, who was still desperately trying to survive, suddenly stopped breathing. His body fell limply to the ground. His eyes were wide open. However, his eyes were now completely empty.
Special Envoy Yu and the former Region Governor Gongsun Zhanyi, who had yet to react, were instantly stunned. It was only when Jin Fu's body fell limply to the ground that Special Envoy Yu's eyes widened in shock. He roared, "How dare you!"
