When Great Elder Ling Gaofeng stormed into his son Ling Zhengshan's residence with a face full of anger, Ling Zhengshan was enjoying a cup of spirit tea from the depths of Three Star Mountain that could only be bought with one tael of silver for a thousand taels of silver.
This kind of spirit tea could not only relieve physical and mental exhaustion, but also make one feel refreshed. If one drank a few cups of it while cultivating their energy, it would even be beneficial to their cultivation.
After taking a light sip, Ling Zhengshan felt refreshed. After taking another sip, Ling Zhengshan leaned back comfortably on the rattan chair, carefully enjoying the refreshing feeling that spread throughout his body. This was the feeling that Ling Zhengshan liked the most. Every time this happened, the servants would tactfully lower their voices so as not to disturb this master's tea tasting!
But today, there was an accident!
The door to his residence let out a loud bang, as if it had been forcefully kicked away by someone. In fact, it was indeed so. The door to Ling Zhengshan's courtyard had been kicked away by his father, Ling Gaofeng.
"Which bastard is it?" Ling Zhengshan roared angrily as his calm state of mind was shattered.
"It's your father, this bastard! You little bastard, how do you do things?! " Great Elder Ling Gaofeng, who had a fiery temper, had already rushed in front of Ling Zhengshan while he was shouting.
Ling Zhengshan, whose face was splashed with spit, stood up gloomily and wiped his face before asking, "Father, who provoked you? Why are you so angry?"
Ling Gaofeng glared fiercely at Ling Zhengshan. "Speak, was the conflict between Master Shui and that brat Ling Dong your doing? You idiot, how could you casually give the right to use the Heaven and Earth Fire Pill Room to someone else? "
The reason why Ling Gaofeng asked so unscrupulously was because Master Shui did not follow them. On the way, in order to continue pressuring the Ling family, Master Shui used the excuse of being frightened to rest.
Furthermore, from his point of view, it would be much better for him to personally witness Ling Dong being punished by the Ling Clan rather than Ling Dong being tied up by the higher-ups of the Ling Clan and sent to Grandmaster Shui for him to deal with. Therefore, he made an excuse to leave and waited for Ling Dong to be tied up by the higher-ups of the Ling family and delivered to him in a pitiful state!
Hearing Ling Gaofeng's reproach, Ling Zhengshan felt wronged. "Father, didn't I tell you about this before? Isn't it all because of the Innate Wood Energy Pearl? Moreover, if that little bastard gets into a conflict with Grandmaster Shui, wouldn't we be able to deal with him legitimately? Who knows, I might not even need to wait four months for the Innate Wood Energy Bead, and I might be able to get it now? "
In the end, Ling Zhengshan said happily, "Father, did that brat really offend Grandmaster Shui? That's great!"
"You … You … How did I give birth to such an idiot like you!" Ling Gaofeng clenched his teeth in anger, wishing he could give him a slap, "To deal with such a little brat, is there a need to mobilize so many people? Even Grandmaster Shui is involved, the gains do not make up for the losses, the gains do not make up for the losses!"
With Ling Zhengshan's intelligence, he could naturally tell that something was wrong. "What's wrong, Father? Did that little bastard offend Grandmaster Shui? Did he make a move or speak rudely? He shouldn't have the ability to make a move. If he was rude, even if he scolded Grandmaster Shui harshly, it's fine. Just give him some money and two beautiful maids, and Grandmaster Shui's anger will be appeased! "
"You … You …" The furious Ling Gaofeng swung his hand and gave Ling Zhengshan a slap, stunning Ling Zhengshan.
"Father, do you have to vent your anger on me over such a small matter?" Ling Zhengshan said angrily.
"You idiot, do you know what that brat did? Grandmaster Shui had some enlightenment and was about to break through, and he would be able to concoct mid-grade pills in the future. But today, that brat messed it up! Moreover, that trash, why would he need to scheme against Grandmaster Shui if he couldn't be dealt with? "Ling Gaofeng scolded.
"Messed it up? It can't be that bad, right? That brat at most offended him verbally … "Hearing that Grandmaster Shui's breakthrough was ruined, Ling Zhengshan felt a headache coming. It was hard to say when it came to breaking through a realm. Especially for alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman masters. They might break through as soon as they realized something. If that strand of inspiration was disrupted, it would be hard to say when they would break through again!
Just as Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng was about to reprimand Ling Zhengshan, two more people rushed into Ling Zhengshan's residence. Their voices were heard before they even arrived.
"Father, Father! We've done what you asked us to do, we've done it! Ling Dong, that brat, has offended Grandmaster Shui to the extreme! " Ling An pulled Ling Zhuo into the residence as he spoke. By the time they entered the house, Ling An had already finished his words. Only then did he realize that his grandfather was there.
"Grandpa is also … Pa!"
Before Ling An could finish his greeting, a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan slapped him hard on the left side of his face. The slap made him see stars and was accompanied by a stern reprimand!
"What's so good about it? Do you want the entire Ling family to hear about what you've done? Do you want Grandmaster Shui to hear about it too? Only then will you be satisfied! A bunch of idiots! "Ling Gaofeng scolded.
Ling An, who was stunned by the slap, kept quiet out of fear. Ling Zhengshan, on the other hand, curled his lips in disdain and thought to himself, "If we are a bunch of idiots, then aren't you one of us as well?"
"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting to get up? Let's go to the Earth Fire Pill Room and find Ling Dong first! " After saying that, Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng strode out the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and added, "You'd better think about how to deal with Ling Dong and Ling Yuanshan. There are some words that I can't say out loud."
"Also, Grandmaster Shui was infuriated by that brat today. When he came to vent his anger, he even had the intention to kill Ling Dong …" Grand Elder Ling Gaofeng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Killing a descendant of the family, especially one from the direct line of descent, is something that must not be done.
But you must let Grandmaster Shui cool down. If the family has a mid-grade alchemist, then we can dominate the entire Nanshan County, and even advance to the Earth Realm … It won't be long! So, you have to think about how to deal with Ling Dong … It's best if you let him … live a life worse than death … "
"Yes! Father! "Ling Zheng Shan said respectfully. Then, he followed after him.
Following behind Ling Zhengshan, Ling An, who was crying because of the slap, heard that his grandfather Ling Gaofeng's punishment for Ling Dong was actually 'live a life worse than death'. As a descendant of an aristocratic family, he couldn't be clearer about the meaning of these words. He almost jumped up in joy.
But because of the slap from his grandfather Ling Gaofeng, he could only suppress his emotions and secretly exchange glances with Ling Zhuo.
As time passed, more and more members of the Ling family gathered on the way to the Earth Fire Alchemy Room.
Second Elder Ling Xuanfeng, Ling Xuanfeng's son, Ling Tieshan, and a Third Elder of the same generation as Ling Xuanfeng and Ling Gaofeng. However, they didn't have much power in the family.
Of course, these weren't the only direct line of descent. Among the three direct lines of descent of the Ling family, Ling Yuanshan's line was almost a single descendant. Ling Tieshan's and Ling Zhengshan's lines had many bloodlines. But some of them were either outside dealing with family matters or cultivating in the mountains. Only these few people could be gathered.
The eldest and second grandsons had recently broken through to the Xian Tian realm. So, they were cultivating outside.
The speed of the team was either fast or slow. Perhaps it was because the Great Elder Ling Gaofeng had deliberately arranged for them to move at an extremely slow speed. But, the team's speed suddenly increased when Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan, arrived.
Ling Gaofeng had obviously done this in order to prove the authenticity of the matter. Everyone had seen the truth. So, no one had tampered with it.
"Second Uncle! Third Uncle! Third Elder! "Ling Yuanshan greeted them one by one.
"Humph! You've raised a good son!" Ling Gaofeng coldly snorted. Then, he walked towards the Earth Fire Alchemy Room in large strides.
Ling Yuanshan didn't get angry. Instead, his expression was calm. However, he had some misgivings in his heart. He remembered his son's instructions before he left this morning. So, he felt even more strange.
A group of more than ten people arrived at the courtyard of the Earth Fire Alchemy Room a few minutes later. The first thing they saw was the unnatural expression of the guards.
"Is Ling Dong still inside?" Ling Zhengshan asked casually.
The guards replied in unison. As for what exactly he was doing inside, they didn't know. So, they wisely didn't answer.
The higher-ups of the Ling family were stunned as soon as they stepped into the courtyard. Ling An and Ling Zhuo, who were younger and hadn't seen much blood in their lives, turned pale immediately. Even Ling Zhengshan, Ling Tieshan, and the others, who had seen blood before, had an unnatural expression on their faces. They had killed people before. But, this kind of scene was really rare.
What kind of scene was this? Not to mention the smell of blood, broken limbs, broken legs, a bald pen, flesh and blood, half of a tongue, blood that almost covered the entire courtyard, and Steward Li Zhong, whose face was distorted, died extremely miserably, with only his torso left.
Everyone was silent. Some of them even had such a thought in their hearts. "Such a cruel method. I'm afraid that the kid who did this will become a big shot in the future if he grows up."
Ling Yuanshan's expression was also very shocked. He couldn't believe that all of this was done by his son. According to his memory, Ling Dong shouldn't have seen blood before.
However, all of this turned into anger in the eyes of the Great Elder. "Yuanshan, do you see this? What do you think we should do?"
