Four corpses were neatly arranged on the training field of the Ling family's castle. These four Ling family members and guards had died in a very strange manner.
The first two corpses had died peacefully. There was even a trace of dreamlike sweetness at the corner of their mouths. It was so fragrant that it seemed as if they had fallen asleep. If it weren't for the fact that their faces had already begun to turn green, at first glance, one would think that they had fallen asleep.
The last two corpses had died in a more gruesome manner. One of them had been neatly cut into four pieces, while the other had been violently smashed into pieces in an instant. Even though the Ling family members had searched for a long time, the fourth corpse was still missing half a leg, a dozen or so joints in his fingers, and half of his neck. It was practically a mutilated corpse.
Nearly two thousand members of the Ling Dong family were gathered together. The Ling family guards had complicated expressions on their faces. The guards of the Ling family were still fine, but many of the members of the Ling family, especially the younger generation of the Ling family members, had expressions of fear written all over their faces when Ling Dong arrived with the black-clothed martial artist.
Some of the members of the Ling family didn't even dare to look directly at the corpse. What was even more exaggerated was that Ling Yuming was retching, his face deathly pale.
Seeing Ling Dong arrive, the Second Elder Ling Tieshan and the Fourth Elder Ling Dong simultaneously saluted him. "Young Clan Head!"
"Second Uncle, there's no need for this!" Ling Dong gently waved his hand. His gaze also fell on the four corpses, and his brows furrowed tightly. Obviously, these four corpses, especially the first two corpses, had died peacefully. Ling Dong was somewhat puzzled.
In the corner, there was the sound of sobbing. In this quiet courtyard of the Ling family, the sound was particularly heavy. It was the sobbing of one of the Ling family members' mothers.
The eyes of all the members of the Ling family were focused on Ling Dong's face. It was the first time that so many members of the Ling family had died. Many of them were terrified.
After comforting his sobbing relatives for a while, Ling Dong walked over to the corpse with a heavy expression. He personally closed the eyes of the Ling family member who was missing an eye. His palm was immediately covered with sticky and cold blood, instantly giving Ling Dong a murderous aura.
"Second Uncle, give them a proper burial! Three days later, all the clansmen would bury them in peace! In addition, if the two guards who died have relatives in the Ling family, they will be compensated generously. The monthly salary of the guards or servants will be increased by one rank. The two members of the Ling family will be generously compensated. Their parents, brothers, wives, and children will all receive an increase in the monthly allowance of the Ling family by one grade! "Ling Dong's voice was heavy as he arranged the funeral arrangements.
"Yes, Young Clan Leader!" Ling Tieshan was extremely dutiful now. Even though Ling Dong addressed him as Second Uncle, Ling Tieshan did not dare to put on airs as Second Uncle.
"This is the blood of the Ling family …" After arranging the funeral arrangements, Ling Dong raised his palm solemnly. "This is also the blood of the weak. If we don't become stronger in the shortest time possible, perhaps one day, I, Ling Dong, will die in the hands of some Elder! "
"But what I don't want the most is to see the hot blood of the Ling family members on my palm again while I, Ling Dong, am alive! I don't want the blood of the weak to flow on my palm again. You should know better than me where to go from here. If you don't want your blood to slowly turn cold and your eyes to be closed by the clansmen in the end … "
Ling Dong's voice was very low, but it was very powerful. In front of the dead, there was a hint of cruelty in it.
The smell of blood on Ling Dong's palm seemed to have burrowed into the nostrils of the Ling family members and stimulated their nerves. Their nostrils trembled and their eyes turned red. The fear that filled the faces of many of the clansmen was slowly replaced by a different emotion.
Ling Dong did not say anything else. Ling Dong understood that only what he understood himself was the most resolute.
"This is the murderer. The murderer who killed four members of the Ling family has been captured alive!" Ling Dong kicked the black-clothed man to the center of the training field. His eyes shone with a cruel light!
"All members of the Ling family who are under the age of thirty, I'll give you a chance to avenge your clansmen. Use all your strength to kill him!" As he shouted coldly, Ling Dong pointed at the black-clothed martial artist.
"You dare!" The black-clothed martial artist's eyes suddenly flashed with fear. He glared fiercely at Ling Dong.
Only Gao Yuan's iron fist answered him. It was an iron fist that directly dislocated his jaw. This Constellation Realm expert's spirit was currently trapped and could not use any power. He was just a guy with a stronger body.
"What, no one dares to kill him?" Ling Dong's gaze suddenly turned cold. The younger generation of the Ling family had seen too little blood.
Perhaps they were stunned just now, but the moment Ling Dong finished speaking, a golden light burst out from the crowd and rushed toward the black-clothed martial artist.
"I'll do it!"
"Pu!"
The sound of a longsword piercing into flesh caused the faces of some of the Ling family members to twitch slightly.
With this first Ling family member taking the lead, more and more figures rushed out. Sabers and swords flew. Even though the black-clothed man's Constellation Realm cultivation made his body abnormally strong, blood began to splatter everywhere. Chunks of flesh were sliced off, and pieces of bones were broken. However, under Ling Dong's secret control, this black-clothed martial artist did not suffer any fatal injuries.
Ling Dong saw the faint nausea and fear on the faces of many of his younger clansmen. His gaze grew colder, especially Ling Yuming, who was vomiting so much that he became muddled. If not for his father desperately holding him back, this fellow would probably have thought of running away.
"Enough!" When the black-clothed martial artist was about to turn into a pile of minced meat, Ling Dong shouted. His gaze swept over the crowd roughly, and he instructed, "Second Uncle, remember this. Every clansman who attacked will have their monthly allowance increased by one rank!"
"Ah …" Astonished cries erupted from the younger generation of the Ling family. All the clansmen who attacked wiped the blood off their faces, and a trace of wolfish nature flashed across their eyes. The martial artists who did not attack out of fear were filled with endless regret.
"Ah, give me back my son …" At this moment, the few Ling family women who were comforting the mother of the dead clansman seemed to have forgotten to protect the mother who had lost her son due to shock.
The mother who had lost her son seemed to have gone mad. She pounced on the black-clothed man whose body was gradually turning cold, and used all her strength to bite him madly with her teeth.
"Give me back my son, give me back my son …" The hoarse voice caused the noses of the Ling family members present to turn sour. However, this scene caused some of the Ling family members to be unable to bear to watch.
However, a trace of cruelty flashed across Ling Dong's eyes. He suddenly reached out with his palm and shattered the top of the black-clothed man's head. He directly grabbed the trapped Astral Soul in his hand, and turned to leave.
When he walked out of the crowd, Ling Dong said softly, "If you don't want your family to be like …"
Ling Dong did not finish the rest of his words. This was because the first half of his sentence was already cruel enough! However, this kind of cruelty was what Ling Dong needed right now.
This was because Ling Dong was clear that only by understanding this kind of pain could he change something from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Dong's words caused the faces of the Ling family members present to turn pale. A heartache that resembled the bite of a venomous snake slowly spread from their stomachs.
At the same time, Second Elder Ling Tieshan's face was ashen. He snatched his father's greatest great-grandson, Ling Yuming, from the hands of his other son and gave him a slap.
"Grand … Grand … Ugh …" Ling Yuming looked innocently at his grandfather who usually doted on him.
"Trash!" Ling Tieshan scolded angrily. He kicked Ling Yuming directly into the black-clothed man's corpse, which had already turned into a pile of minced meat. A few streaks of Gang Qi shot out, causing Ling Yuming to fall directly onto the black-clothed man's corpse. His dark-red internal organs were exposed, and his white brain matter was exposed.
Ling Yuming's eyes immediately widened. He was so frightened that his voice became stiff. Ling Yuming's father cried out anxiously. He wanted to pull Ling Yuming over, but he was sent flying by Ling Tieshan's kick.
"Trash, if he can't stand up on his own, then bury him together with this corpse!" Ling Tieshan roared with an ashen face. This also caused the shocked Ling family members to realize something.
A different kind of sharp bloodlust was slowly growing in the Ling family members.
"You've already lost your physical body. Do you choose to have your soul destroyed or …?" This time, Ling Dong didn't do anything extreme when he interrogated this black-clothed man's Star Soul. His expression was very calm.
"You're dead meat!" The black-clothed man's Virtual Eyes, formed by his Spiritual Energy, stared fixedly at Ling Dong.
"At least I'm still alive now!" Ling Dong clenched his fist and shouted, "Last chance!"
The black-clothed man's Star Soul turned stubbornly.
"The person behind you is not simple!" Just as the black-clothed man's Star Soul was about to say something, a purple light suddenly shot out from Ling Dong's finger. He activated the Soul Searching Technique.
After an hour, Ling Dong's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. A wave of mixed Spiritual Energy slowly dissipated into the air.
"It's actually him! The mastermind behind this is actually Cui Wu. He wants this Constellation Realm expert to create panic in the Ling family castle. That's why the first two Ling family members died so peacefully! The last two were violently killed after this Constellation Realm expert called Xie Rui was exposed … "
"Create panic? What does Cui Wu want to do? Force us to leave? "
As he thought of this, Ling Dong's eyes suddenly flashed, and he was overflowing with anger. "Bastard, that Zuo Guangda didn't tell the truth at all! This Cui Wu is actually able to order a peak Constellation Realm expert to work for him with his Quasi Star Realm cultivation. He must have a special identity in the Tenmu Temple.
Then, Zuo Guangda's unreasonable acceptance of the gifts and high tax crystals is also to force us to leave? "
"Force us to leave? Is that Cui Wu eyeing the profits from selling this house, or did he discover something? Is he plotting something?
However, no matter what he's plotting, anyone who dares to attack the Ling family will have to pay the price … "
After analyzing this, Ling Dong suddenly stood up. "A long night means trouble. I can't delay the matter of dealing with the strange Spiritual Energy in the Grade Four Spirit Vein!" Tonight's massacre, as well as the abnormalities of the past few days, made Ling Dong feel a sense of crisis.
After instantly getting up, Ling Dong went straight to the family's new forbidden area, the core area of the Grade Four Spirit Vein. Now that he had reached the Purple Soul Realm, he should be able to give it a try!
At the same time, two orders were instantly transmitted from Ling Dong's Spiritual Sea.
"Cat Spirit, Dumby, stand guard near the Grade Four Spirit Vein. No one is allowed to enter before I come out."
