"Disobeying your superiors, beating up your own uncle, and not knowing your place. According to our Ling Clan's ancestral rules, your cultivation should be crippled and you should be expelled from the clan!" First Elder Ling Gaofeng's words were like a clap of thunder. Most of the Ling family members, including Ling An, were stunned!
Wasn't this punishment too much?
This was what many members of the Ling family, including Ling An, were thinking. In fact, the Ling family was so small that it didn't take long for news of what happened in front of the Ling family to spread throughout the Ling family.
However, they didn't expect Ling Gaofeng to make such a big deal out of it and directly open the ancestral hall.
In fact, a senior who used his cultivation to teach a junior a lesson was beaten up by the junior. How could you bring this to the ancestral hall?
It could only be said that Ling Gaofeng and Ling Zhengshan were too shameless.
If Ling Dong was the one who provoked them first and was charged with such a crime, it might not be a big deal. However, he took the initiative to teach him a lesson and was beaten back instead. Now that he was at a disadvantage, he wanted to use the ancestral rules against him. To be honest, even Ling An looked down on Ling Zhengshan.
Ever since the Courtesan Belle incident, Ling An had personally witnessed Bi Pengzhuo and Feng Wanying being burned to dry corpses in the stands. Although he was terrified, he was extremely grateful to Ling Dong for stopping him from going up on the stage.
In this short period of time, Ling An had undergone a shocking change. He was completely on Ling Dong's side. Every now and then, he would invite Ling Dong over for a drink and call him 'third brother'.
Seeing Ling Dong being treated like this today, Ling An actually secretly felt indignant for Ling Dong. Of course, he didn't have the right to speak up now.
The first to question was the Ling family's second elder, Ling Xuanfeng, who was second only to First Elder Ling Gaofeng. "Second Brother, isn't this punishment a bit too heavy?"
"Heavy?" Ling Gaofeng sneered. "In the past hundred years of the Ling family, when has there ever been a bastard who beat up his own uncle? If we don't punish him severely today, in a few years, even if we don't die at the hands of our enemies, we will be beaten so badly by the younger generation of the Ling family that we won't have the face to see anyone! What do you think? "
Ling Xuanfeng's expression changed. Ling Gaofeng's words were a little serious.
While he was surprised, Ling Xuanfeng glanced at Ling Yuanshan and his son. What surprised Ling Xuanfeng was that both Ling Yuanshan and Ling Dong looked calm, as if they were not worried about this at all.
This time, Ling Yuanshan was puzzled. His second brother, Ling Gaofeng, was clearly going to make things difficult for them today. Was it because Ling Yuanshan and his son were ignorant, or did they have other trump cards?
"If a member of the Ling family doesn't even know how to respect his elders, will he still be loyal to the family? Therefore, I agree with Grand Elder's decision to punish Ling Dong! "Elder Lao San, Ling Guofeng, was the first to agree with Grand Elder's opinion.
"Those who disrespect their elders and beat up their own uncles must be severely punished!" The Fourth Elder also said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng sneered proudly. "Second Brother, did you hear that clearly? Out of the Four Grand Elders, three of them have already agreed. You don't have any objections to this, right? "Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng had always been brooding over the fact that Ling Xuanfeng was drifting further and further away from him!
Ling Xuanfeng was a little anxious. He guessed that Ling Yuanshan's trump card might be some arrangement made by Ling Yuefeng before he went into seclusion. However, if a conflict really broke out, the Ling family would still be the ones to suffer.
"Second Brother, I still say the same thing. We can punish him, but don't you think that crippling his cultivation and expelling his name from the family is too severe? After all, Ling Dong is … Big Brother's only descendant! "Ling Xuanfeng tried to dissuade him again.
Hearing Ling Xuanfeng mention Clan Leader Ling Yuefeng, Grand Elder suddenly put on a dignified face. "Second Brother, you still don't understand Big Brother. If Big Brother was here and knew that Ling Dong, this bastard, did such a thing, I'm afraid that Dong-er's life would be in danger today!" In other words, crippling Ling Dong's cultivation and expelling his name from the family would still save Ling Dong's life!
Just as Second Elder Ling Xuanfeng wanted to say something, Ling Dong sneered. Ling Dong really couldn't take it anymore when Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng kept calling him a bastard.
"Grand Elder, I've been standing here for half a day. Who are you calling a bastard??" Without any pleasantries, Ling Dong started the battle!
With this, everyone was even more confused. Why didn't Ling Yuanshan, who always loved his son as much as his own life, say anything today?
"Of course he's calling you a bastard! You still have the face to ask, shameless! "Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng scolded angrily.
However, Ling Dong smiled and nodded. "Oh, so it's a bastard calling me a bastard! I'm curious. Our Ling family is considered a big family. Why did we let an old bastard become the Grand Elder? "
Stunned, everyone was stunned. Ling Dong was calling Ling Gaofeng a bastard. Wasn't that courting death?
"Ling Dong, how dare you call Grand Elder a bastard. See if I don't teach you a lesson!" The first to jump out was Ling Xuanfeng's son, Ling Tieshan. After scolding, Ling Tieshan seemed like he was going to attack.
Ling Tieshan was about to rush up but was stopped by his son, Ling An. "Father, aren't you wronging Third Brother? When did Third Brother call Grand Elder a bastard? "
Ling Tieshan was stunned and scratched his head. "You didn't hear it? Everyone heard Ling Dong calling Grand Elder a bastard. Isn't that evidence of disobedience?"
Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. F * ck, how could you defend someone like that? Every word you said was related to the word bastard!
However, Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng was well-mannered and astute. He knew that it would be better for him to jump out of this than for others to jump out for him. Thus, he waited angrily for the fatal blow.
"That's right, I heard it loud and clear! Everyone heard it, right? What's the point of keeping an unrepentant bastard like him? "Third Elder Ling Gaofeng scolded angrily.
At this time, Ling An, who was hesitating whether to tell the truth, suddenly received an encouraging look from his grandfather, Ling Xuanfeng. On the spot, the hesitant Ling An was emboldened!
"Elders, Father, you've all heard wrongly! Third Brother asked Grand Elder who he was calling a bastard, but Grand Elder's answer was that of course he was calling you a bastard! Therefore, the Great Elder had called himself a beast, and Third Brother was just following the Great Elder's wishes!
Although I don't understand why Grand Elder called himself a bastard, I know that Third Brother really didn't call him a bastard! "After Ling An's slow analysis, everyone was stunned!
Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng's old face instantly darkened. Third Elder was also stunned. It really was the case! Even Ling Tieshan's mouth was wide open. He was stunned and didn't know what to do, because Ling An was right!
Ling Dong, who was standing in the middle of the hall, was happy. Good Ling An, as expected of Third Brother who saved your life. You brat, you've grown up! And you, Ling Tieshan, you don't even know that your precious son, Ling An, saved your life!
Feeling the Grand Elder's murderous gaze, the embarrassed Ling Tieshan was enraged. He threw a slap at Ling An. "You little bastard, you've learned how to argue with words. See if I don't beat you up!"
Before the slap could reach out, it was stopped by Second Elder Ling Xuanfeng. "Tieshan, don't hit the child because he spoke the truth. If you do, this child will never speak the truth in the future!"
Hearing Second Elder Ling Xuanfeng's summary of the word 'truth', Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng's old face completely darkened!
"Grand Elder, I didn't say anything wrong, right? I really didn't call you a bastard. You called yourself a bastard! "Ling Dong sneered.
However, how could Ling Dong's words pierce through the thick skin of Grand Elder's decades of experience?
He coughed indifferently and said, "You have a sharp tongue. As expected, you're not a good seed!" After scolding, he swept his gaze around and said, "The punishment of crippling cultivation and expelling the clan's name has been passed by three out of four elders! Carry it out immediately! "
But who would cripple Ling Dong's cultivation? This was a difficult problem.
Whoever Ling Gaofeng looked at, that person's gaze would be averted! Ling Gaofeng understood that these people were afraid of Clan Leader Ling Yuefeng, who had yet to come out of seclusion and was still on the verge of breaking through!
"Old fox!" Ling Gaofeng cursed inwardly, but a trace of cruelty appeared on his face. "Ling Dong's cultivation has already reached the Xiantian level. Let me personally cripple his cultivation!"
As soon as he said this, Second Elder Ling Xuanfeng's gaze suddenly became stern. "Second Brother, please think thrice!"
Ling Yuanshan, who was standing not far away, suddenly smiled and walked lightly to Ling Dong's side. The aura around his body circulated, and the long sword on his back was unsheathed with a murderous aura. "Grand Elder, if you want to cripple, then cripple the cultivation of both father and son!"
Ling Dong heard this and felt a burst of excitement. No matter what, his father loved to shelter him from the wind and rain!
Since things had reached this point, Ling Dong no longer had any scruples and scolded everything that needed to be scolded. "If you want to condemn someone, you can always do so with words. Grand Elder, if you want to deal with our Clan Leader, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush!"
Grand Elder, whose face was directly exposed by Ling Dong, was stunned for a moment before he reacted!
As his anger rose, he scolded loudly, "Little bastard, you're courting death!" As a fierce aura rose from Ling Gaofeng's body, he waved his long sleeves and a green light rolled towards Ling Dong.
Seeing that the First Elder had personally made a move, everyone's expression changed. Just when the Second Elder, Ling Xuanfeng, was considering whether to make a move or not, an aura that caused everyone to tremble suddenly spread out from outside the main hall!
"Courting death, this old man wants to see who's courting death!" Accompanied by the appearance of a powerful aura, the wooden door of the main hall was slammed open by a powerful aura with a bang!
As a green shadow floated in, green clouds, like auspicious signs, rushed towards Ling Dong and Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng.
"Floating Cloud Palm?"
"Big Brother?"
As the exclamation sounded, Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng's expression changed from surprise to incomparably ugly. Suddenly, an ominous glint flashed across his eyes, and the aura around his body shone brightly!
In for a penny, in for a pound!
