"Brother Ling, my father is waiting for you in this small courtyard. However, I won't be going in with you. This way, please!" Bai Shaokui, who was leading the way, brought Ling Dong to a courtyard with a few tall pine trees. Then, he stopped bringing Ling Dong forward!
"Thank you!" Ling Dong cupped his hands at Bai Shaokui and walked into the rather unique courtyard. He didn't suspect anything was amiss at all.
With Ling Dong's powerful Spirit cultivation, anyone whose Spirit cultivation was lower than Ling Dong's would be able to find out within a hundred meters of Ling Dong.
The Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion was powerful, but his Spirit cultivation was still weaker than Ling Dong's. The moment Ling Dong and Bai Shaokui stepped into the small courtyard, Ling Dong could already sense the tyrannical yet extremely faint aura of Kui Xing Pavilion Master!
He didn't suspect that there was an ambush and walked straight in. Deep down, Ling Dong was still very careful.
Seeing Ling Dong walk in, Bai Shaokui stared at the small courtyard in fear. He glanced at Ling Dong's back gloomily and left as fast as he could.
The person in the courtyard had taught him a lesson in the past few days.
Ling Dong pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was simple and spacious. There was nothing but a circle of pine trees surrounding the courtyard. However, as soon as he entered the door, he stepped on pine needles that were scattered all over his feet!
When Ling Dong heard the rustling sound of pine needles as he walked, Ling Dong's ears perked up. The instant his eyes narrowed, he saw the door of the living room, which was directly opposite the door of the small courtyard, suddenly open. The Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion, dressed in green, was standing in the living room with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Humph, Pill King Ling still dares to stroll in the Kuixing Pavilion after destroying one of the five families of the Kuixing Pavilion. How bold! How bold! You really think nothing of the Kuixing Pavilion!"
He let out a cold snort that sounded like a sonic boom, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade as he ruthlessly attacked Ling Dong! Even the thick layer of pine needles on the ground rustled when Kuixing Pavilion Master snorted coldly.
For a moment, the entire Pine Courtyard seemed to be enveloped by Pavilion Master Kuixing's cold shout.
"Is this a test or a show of strength?"
Ling Dong furrowed his brows as his eyes turned cold. The eyes of the Spirit Source in his Spirit Sea abruptly widened and shot out two sharp sword-like Spirit light. The moment they appeared, they tore a huge hole in the pressure that Pavilion Master Kui Xing had deliberately created with his Spirit Energy, piercing through the heavens!
Just like the spring rain and the sudden thunder, a bright and clear world immediately appeared after the thunder!
"Hiss …"
Following Pavilion Master Kuixing's soft gasp of surprise, the pine needles in the Pine Courtyard quieted down just like before. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of Ling Dong's footsteps.
"Pavilion Master Bai, when the Fei Family was secretly plotting to destroy the Ling family, you also ignored me, Ling Dong, as if I was nothing!" After returning an eye for an eye, Ling Dong repeated Pavilion Master Kuixing Pavilion Master Kuixing's words word for word. He even seemed to be questioning him!
"Uh …"
Ling Dong's words stumped Pavilion Master Kuixing Pavilion Master Kuixing. After being stunned for a moment, Pavilion Master Kuixing Pavilion Master Kuixing smiled bitterly. When the Fei Family was secretly plotting against the Ling family, Ling Dong was just a young talent. How could he be as powerful as he is now?
If he had known Ling Dong's achievements back then, as the Pavilion Master Kuixing Pavilion Master, he would never have allowed the Fei Family to provoke or even deal with the Ling family.
If that had been the case, the elites of the Fei Family, one of the Five Families of Kuixing Pavilion, would not have been wiped out by Ling Dong! The strongest experts of the Fei Family now were the two Heaven-gang Realm juniors who had just entered the Heaven-gang Realm!
But before that, the Fei Family ranked first among the Five Families of Kuixing Pavilion in terms of the number of Gang Spirit Realm experts and Heaven-gang Realm experts! Even the Bai Family, the leader of the Five Families, was only slightly better than the Fei Family in terms of the quality of their experts!
It could be said that after this incident, the Fei Family would be at the bottom of the Kuixing Pavilion for the next 100 years. In the next 50 years, the Fei Family would not have much say in the Five Families of Kuixing Pavilion. And this was under the condition that everything was fine!
If he had known this earlier, he would not have stopped the Fei Family from causing trouble for Ling Dong. The Fei Family would not have dared to cause trouble for Ling Dong even if they had ten times the courage. But now, it was too late!
"Ah … Heroes come from the young! Pill King Ling is indeed a hero! When I was your age, I had just stepped into the Heaven-star Border Realm. However, Pill King Ling had already shocked the world and was on the same footing as me! Come, please! "
The Pavilion Master laughed dryly and sighed. Then, he lowered his status and invited Ling Dong in! From this moment on, the Pavilion Master Kuixing Pavilion had completely placed Ling Dong on equal footing with him!
Ling Dong was the one who had earned this honor. However, he still had to be polite and courteous.
"What are you talking about? I have heard of Pavilion Master Bai's name since I was young!" Although he was speaking politely, Ling Dong walked into the main seat of the hall and sat down.
What else could the Pavilion Master say? As long as he sat in the right seat, there would be no problem no matter where he sat!
Once they were seated, a maid served them fragrant fruits. Kuixing Pavilion Master didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Pill King Ling didn't get into a fight with the Fei Family in front of the Kuixing Pavilion's headquarters, was it a coincidence?"
After a short pause, the Pavilion Master asked again, "I wonder why Pill King Ling has come to the headquarters of Kuixing Pavilion?"
"Not really. However, there are two important matters that require me to personally make a trip to Kui Xing Pavilion and meet with Pavilion Master Bai. Only then can we settle them!" Ling Dong said bluntly.
"What a coincidence! I also have an important matter to discuss with Pill King Ling. I thought that since Pill King Ling is famous and has a great empire in his hands, I should have asked my son to send out an official invitation to meet with Pill King Ling!
What I did not expect was that Pill King Ling would arrive before the invitation was sent out, which saved me a lot of trouble. However, I did not send someone to welcome you in advance. That is my fault! "
The Pavilion Master said slowly as he sipped his tea.
There was a hidden meaning in his words. Pill King Ling, you have a high status now. If you want to visit me in the future, can you send me a message in advance so that there won't be any misunderstandings? Can you not make such a sudden attack?
Ling Dong was a little depressed when he heard this. He had been ridiculed and criticized by Kui Xing Pavilion Master! However, Ling Dong was not happy. When my status is higher in the future, won't I have to announce to the whole world when I go out?
"Pavilion Master Bai, Ling doesn't agree with you on this point. Could it be that the reason a martial artist painstakingly cultivates is so that he can go in and out of a gathering of servants and followers? "
Pavilion Master Kuixing was stunned. His casual suggestion had been used by Ling Dong as a rhetorical question. However, it was not an easy question to answer!
After thinking for a while, Pavilion Master Kuixing said to Ling Dong, "Pill King Ling, why do you think martial artists risk their lives to cultivate?"
"It's simple! Martial artists cultivated painstakingly for nothing more than fame, wealth, and power. However, all of these were just appearances! Their ultimate goal is to live a carefree and free life. They want to control their own fate and the fate of others!
Since that's the case, being surrounded by servants will only make you more restrained. Why bother? "
Ling Dong also held the teacup in his hand and said these words!
However, Ling Dong's simple words made Pavilion Master Kuixing's eyebrows twitch. He seemed to be thinking about something!
After a while, Pavilion Master Kuixing gently put down the cup of tea. Ling Dong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice. I'm old, but I'm not as open-minded as Pill King Ling!"
Ling Dong waved his hand and did not say anything. If he said such profound words too much, it would be seen as a pretentious act!
"Pill King Ling, you said that you came to Kuixing Pavilion for two important matters. You're a guest from afar. You go first!" Pavilion Master Kuixing said.
Ling Dong nodded and said, "Ling came to Kuixing Pavilion for two matters. The first matter concerns Zi Yao!"
After pausing for a moment, Ling Dong continued, "I'm here mainly to ask for Zi Yao's hand in marriage. I hope Pavilion Master Bai doesn't have any objections?"
Kui Xing Pavilion Master shrugged helplessly at Ling Dong. "Pill King Ling has already said that I have no objections. What objections can I have? I've heard about the matter between Zi Yao and Pill King Ling! Since Zi Yao is willing, I have nothing to say!
However, it's not up to me to decide. Most importantly, it depends on the Zi Family's attitude. That stubborn old man of the Zi Family is not easy to talk to! "
"Heh, Pavilion Master Bai, you don't have to worry. Ling will find a way to solve it! As for the second matter, Ling came for Wang You Palace! "Ling Dong said.
Kuixing Pavilion Master raised his eyebrows when he heard the words' Worry-Free Palace '. He thought for a while and said, "Pill King Ling, are you planning to attack Worry-Free Palace? Do you need my help? That's easy. When the time comes, the assets of Wang You Palace … "
Seeing Ling Dong shake his head, Pavilion Master Kuixing stopped talking abruptly. Looking at the smiling Ling Dong, he rubbed his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. With Pill King Ling's cultivation, you can go in and out of the Wang You Palace three times by yourself. Why would you need my help?"
Ling Dong did not deny it. He said, "According to the agreement, all the assets of Hidden World Star Palace will belong to Kuixing Pavilion. If Wang You Palace is taken over by True Gang Sect, all the assets of Wang You Palace will belong to True Gang Sect. As for Tian Kui Sect's assets, we will split them equally. Ling is here for that! "
In fact, Ling Dong's main purpose was to show off his strength and to get the assets of Wang You Palace. As for Tian Kui Sect's assets, they were already in Kuixing Pavilion's pocket. How much could Ling Dong ask for?
"Of course. I will get someone to check out half of Tian Kui Sect's assets. As for Wang You Palace's assets, as long as True Gang Sect can take them, they will belong to True Gang Sect according to the agreement! "Pavilion Master Kuixing said with a pained expression.
Wang You Palace and Hidden World Star Palace were ancient sects with thousands of years of history. The assets they accumulated were equivalent to half of Kuixing Pavilion. How could Pavilion Master Kuixing not be tempted?
However, with Ling Dong's strength, he had to abide by the agreement.
"Alright, that's all. I wonder why Pavilion Master Bai asked Shao Kui to come here?" Ling Dong asked.
Pavilion Master Kuixing's eyes flashed when he heard Ling Dong's question. He stood up and asked, "Pill King Ling, do you know about the Battle of Heavenly Officials in this world?"
