"Ah …!" A roar filled with boundless shock and anger exploded in the sky above South Mountain City like a clap of thunder. It startled some of the old men who were cultivating in their cultivation rooms.
The South Mountain Commandery City covered an area of six to seven miles. Just a single roar was enough to spread throughout the entire South Mountain Commandery City. Moreover, it could even penetrate a cultivation room. This level of strength was at least at the peak of the Xiantian realm.
"Who went crazy?" Just when everyone was puzzled, a miracle occurred in the sky above South Mountain City!
"Clang!"
The sound of a sword being unsheathed was not loud, but it was loud enough to reach everyone's ears. Then, a green sword aura that was thirty to forty meters long suddenly shot into the blue sky. After circling once, it scattered across the sky of South Mountain County like a sudden clap of thunder. At the same time, the sound of rolling thunder arrived!
"Master Qiao of the Clear Sword Sect is here. Ling, Zuo, and Feng Aristocratic Families, quickly come and see me. Hmph!" If the beginning of this sentence was abnormally domineering and filled with anger, causing everyone who heard it to be abnormally frightened, then the final cold snort was like a clap of thunder, full of threat!
Hmph, if you don't come …! The meaning of the latter part was self-evident!
Master Qiao of the Clear Sword Sect!
This was a name that was written with blood. To a certain extent, this was a character that represented the Clear Sword Sect of the Yaoguang Empire's three great sects. The ordinary people of South Mountain City might not know the power of the words' Master Qiao of the Clear Sword Sect ', but the three great aristocratic families were very clear! In almost an instant, the three great aristocratic families of South Mountain City reacted!
The Ling family — the upper echelons of the Ling family were mostly dealing with family affairs in the afternoon. The moment they heard that roar, the few upper echelons of the Ling family who could move immediately used their movement techniques and gathered in the family's meeting hall.
This was one of the differences between a large aristocratic family and a small sect. If it was a small sect, they would probably obediently rush over when they encountered such a situation. But aristocratic families were different!
For an Earth Realm expert to hover around on his sword in a show of force, it meant that something extraordinary must have happened. There was no need to think too hard to know that there must have been something that had greatly angered that Earth Realm expert.
In less than five minutes, the upper echelons of the Ling family had gathered in the meeting hall. The First Elder, Ling Gaofeng, the Second Elder, Ling Xuanfeng, the two collateral elders, and the three direct descendants — Ling Yuanshan, Ling Zhengshan, and Ling Tieshan!
"Who can tell me what's going on? To actually be able to provoke a Disha Realm expert to hover on his sword in a show of force? "Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng bellowed in a deep voice.
Silence. No one answered, because no one knew!
After pausing for a moment, Ling Gaofeng turned around and said, "Yuanshan, that Bright Sword Sect's Qiao Da is your relative by marriage. Do you know why he's demonstrating his power with his sword today?"
"I'm not sure. This time, he came here to discuss the wedding date of his daughter Qiao Ruyan and Dong-er. I'm not sure about this either!" Ling Yuanshan shook his head.
"Wedding date?" Hearing this word, Ling Zhengshan's eyes flashed with a trace of unknown astonishment.
Just as Ling Gaofeng was about to ask more, the Ling family's spy that he had sent someone to investigate the situation in South Mountain County ran in quickly.
"Reporting to the elders, the Courtesan Assembly that is currently being held has suddenly been interrupted. The participants, Feng Wanying and a young master with the surname Bi, suddenly went berserk and ran around South Mountain County naked. The current situation is unknown!"
"Ran around naked in the county city?" Ling Gaofeng was shocked. "Did I hear wrongly?" The upper echelons of the Ling family were all extremely shocked.
"What, that young master with the surname Bi was naked …?" Ling Yuanshan, who knew a little about the situation, exclaimed.
"Yuanshan, you know the details? Tell me in detail! "Ling Gaofeng shouted.
After the spy and Ling Yuanshan explained, Great Elder Ling Gaofeng furrowed his brows. "It can be confirmed that Master Qiao of the Bright Sword Sect is definitely angry about Bi Pengzhuo's matter. Furthermore, according to Yuanshan, that Bi … Pengzhuo's position in the Bright Sword Sect is not ordinary." At this point, Ling Gaofeng's expression suddenly changed!
"Bi, that person's surname is Bi. Could he be related to the imperial family of the Yaoguang Empire?"
Ling Gaofeng's words instantly caused the faces of the upper echelons of the Ling family to turn extremely ugly.
The surname Bi was the imperial surname of the imperial family of the Yaoguang Empire. However, the surname Bi was also considered a big surname in the Yaoguang Empire. Therefore, when people heard the surname Bi, they would not immediately think of the imperial family.
However, Master Qiao of the Bright Sword Sect was actually flying around in the sky above South Mountain County to demonstrate his might and fly into a rage! Flying around in the sky on a sword sometimes represented another meaning — within the range of the flying sword, kill without mercy!
Indirectly, it was a threat to massacre the entire city!
At this moment, Ling Yuanshan did not want to care about any bullshit threat. In his heart, there was only his son, only his son, Ling Dong! According to the scouts, the four people on the viewing platform had gotten into trouble after drinking. Two of them had already been poisoned and ran around the city naked. What about his son, Ling Dong?
Right now, Ling Yuanshan only wanted to run to the viewing platform and see how his son was doing!
"Dong-er, nothing must happen to you!"
"Looks like the matter this time is really troublesome! To be able to make Master Qiao of the Bright Sword Sect use his flying sword to demonstrate his might, the person's identity must be extraordinary. It can be confirmed that even if that Bi Pengzhuo is not related to the imperial family, his identity must be extraordinary!
Furthermore, there were four people drinking on the viewing platform, and three of them were related to the three great families! But the strange thing is that there were only two people who got into trouble. This matter is extremely troublesome … "Ling Gaofeng muttered to himself as he spoke.
However, the situation was urgent, and Ling Gaofeng did not have much time to think. If the people from the three great families did not arrive, the flying sword might turn into a killing move!
No one in the entire Nanshan County could withstand the might of an Earth Realm expert!
After exchanging glances with the Second Elder, Ling Xuanfeng, Ling Gaofeng said, "Tieshan, the two of you immediately gather at least twenty direct and collateral descendants of the Ling family who are at Houtian Realm Level Seven and above, including Ling An and Ling Zhuo, and enter the secret passage to seek refuge!"
Once this was said, everyone was stunned!
This move was usually only used in the face of an extermination crisis. The majority of the people would be sacrificed so that the bloodline of the family could be revived!
The situation was extremely serious!
"Zhengshan, immediately gather the members of the Ling family's Elite Hall. The entire family is on alert. I and a few other Elders will oversee the Ling family! Today might really be the day of the Ling family's survival! The only ones who are fine are Ling Dong and Zuo Guangzong! "
Speaking up to here, Ling Gaofeng's eyes flashed, "Yuanshan, you're related to the Bright Sword Sect's Elder Qiao by marriage, and this matter also involves Ling Dong. I'll leave the matter of meeting the Bright Sword Sect's Elder Qiao to you. Bring a dozen of our family's elite members over!"
"Second Brother …" Hearing this arrangement, the Second Elder's face changed. He did not expect his second brother to still be thinking about the family's power struggle at this time!
"Third Brother? Why, in the entire Ling family, only Yuanshan is familiar with Master Qiao. Isn't it the most suitable for him to go? "Great Elder Ling Gaofeng asked.
The Second Elder, Ling Xuanfeng, was stumped by this question. He sighed deeply and did not say anything else. Ling Gaofeng's reason was very valid, but they should at least send an Elder to oversee the situation, right?
Only when one's back was strong enough would it be more effective to talk!
Ling Yuanshan did not want to argue about this. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted? Right now, he only wanted to see how his son, Ling Dong, was doing.
He did not want to care about Great Elder Ling Gaofeng's little schemes!
"Understood!" After answering, Ling Yuanshan ran towards the direction of the sword light that was tens of meters long.
Just as his figure flashed, Great Elder Ling Gaofeng's voice came from behind Ling Yuanshan. "Yuanshan … if that scandal … is really related to Ling Dong! For the sake of the entire Ling family … when necessary, we must be righteous … and kill family! "
Hearing this, Ling Yuanshan's figure froze. He turned around and glared fiercely at Ling Gaofeng before quickly running away!
On the side, Ling Xuanfeng's expression was somewhat gloomy. When would the Ling family's internal strife end …
At the same time, the same thing was happening in the Zuo and Feng families. However, just like the Ling family, the Zuo family was extremely worried, but much more united than the Ling family!
The Feng family, on the other hand, was different. After a brief response, their ancestor, Feng Qingzhang, led a large group of people and furiously charged towards the direction of the sword light. They had just received news that the descendant of the Feng family, Feng Wanying, had been framed and forced to run naked in South Mountain City — this was a great humiliation!
Just as the three families were rushing towards the location of the incident, Mister Qiao, who had just roared angrily on his sword because of Bi Pengzhuo's death, was once again depressed. This was because the only remaining clue had disappeared.
There was another person running naked with Bi Pengzhuo, Feng Wanying. She had also been subdued by Mister Qiao. After Bi Pengzhuo had been roasted into a dried corpse by an internal poisonous flame that he had never seen before, Mister Qiao still blamed himself.
Could it be that his rash actions had caused Bi Pengzhuo's death?
But what happened a few minutes later enraged him! The person who had poisoned him was too vicious!
He had ignored the other poisoned streaker, Feng Wanying, who Mister Qiao did not know. Her body emitted faint black smoke without any warning. While she struggled in pain, more and more black smoke came out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. In a short while, she had become a dried corpse!
Mister Qiao's face was ashen. Qiao Ruyan no longer had the chivalrous mindset she had before. Her expression was very complicated!
At this moment, Mister Qiao had eliminated the suspicion that he had caused Bi Pengzhuo's death. This made him even more determined: If the three families could not give him a satisfactory explanation for Bi Pengzhuo's death, then he would — massacre the entire city!
"Bi Pengzhuo's identity …" Mister Qiao had a terrible headache when he thought of this!
He casually caught a passerby and asked about the situation. Then, Mister Qiao carried the two dried corpses and went straight to the place he had just asked about — the scene of the Courtesan's Meet!
The green sword light that was tens of meters long circling above his head was buzzing non-stop!
While Mister Qiao was in a towering rage, another person was hiding in a small alley, trembling all over as he looked at the two people who had died emitting black smoke!
This person was none other than Ling An, who had followed the two streaking people out of curiosity!
Ling An only had one thought in his mind: "Thank you, Third Brother. Thank you, my good Third Brother. If not for you, I would have gone up to the spectator stand. Today, I might have been one of the people who had lost all their face and died!"
Before dying, he had to lose all his face and be cursed by thousands of people. Was there anything more miserable than this?
Just as Mister Qiao was circling on his sword and heading straight to the scene of the Courtesan's Meet. The scene of the Courtesan's Meet was even stranger!
In the green cyclone formed by the Heaven and Earth's Gang Qi that suddenly appeared on the spectator stand, there was a sudden cry of surprise. It was a delicate cry of surprise and a muffled groan!
The originally still cyclone suddenly began to spin crazily!
