"Get out of the way!"
Ling Dong's aura energy was like a knife, forcing the two guards in front of him to retreat.
"Vice President Ling, you can't go in. Palace Master Leng is meeting with an important guest. He has ordered that no one is to disturb him. " The two Tenmu Temple guards were in a difficult position. They activated their aura energy and cautiously resisted Ling Dong's charge.
Even though these two guards from the Tenbu Temple Yangkoucheng Branch Church had higher cultivation than Ling Dong, who was a Stage 2 Constellation Realm martial artist, they were still forced to retreat under Ling Dong's brutal charge.
Ling Dong's face was ashen. If not for the fact that Ling Dong still had some rationality and knew that these two guards were only loyal to their duty, Ling Dong would have killed them already.
Even though Ling Dong had commanded the troops calmly at the Dark Flame Copper Source Mine just now, he had killed a strong enemy while talking and laughing. He had even forced Murong Gong to flee from the Life and Death Tower. However, only Ling Dong himself knew how dangerous it was.
Fortunately, Ling Dong had the Myriad Stars House. With the Myriad Stars House, he could give orders to the Ling family in an almost cheating way. He could summon reinforcements and order Ji Yuanbai of the Ling family to wipe out the Zheng family. This would first disturb the morale of the Zheng family and cause the main force to panic.
Otherwise, even if Murong Gong's trap couldn't kill Ling Dong, it would have been enough to make Ling Dong pay a great price. Even the bright yellow divine power that Ling Dong used to impersonate the Ling family's ancestor would have been completely exhausted.
How could Ling Dong not be angry after being set up like this? More importantly, according to the Life and Death Tower's Tower Master Murong Gong, there was an important guest who was holding back Leng Cuo. Even if the Tenmu Temple knew that something had happened to the Ling family, they wouldn't be able to help.
At this moment, Ling Dong really wanted to see who this person was who had plotted with Murong Gong to harm the Ling family.
Of course, if Ling Dong wanted to do anything else, he had to meet with the Tenbu Temple Yangkoucheng Branch Church's Hallmaster, Leng Cuo. This was also the reason why Ling Dong's anger had forced his way into the Tenbu Temple Yangkoucheng Branch Church despite the guards' obstruction.
"Don't force my hand!" Ling Dong, who had forcefully charged forward, shouted coldly. His clothes were stained with the dried blood on his upper body. This added to Ling Dong's baleful aura.
The two guards were on the verge of tears. "Vice President Ling, please forgive us. If the Hallmaster blames us …"
Following Ling Dong's charge, the two guards were forced into an elegant courtyard by Ling Dong. The pleasant zither music from the courtyard had already reached Ling Dong's ears.
It was also at this moment that the melodious zither music coming from the courtyard abruptly stopped. It was probably disturbed by the commotion at the door. The door to the courtyard's inner residence abruptly opened, and Leng File's suppressed angry shout rang out.
"Trash, you can't even guard a door …" Leng Cuo was halfway through his scolding when he put on a shocked expression. "Vice President Ling, you …" Leng Cuo wasn't shocked by Ling Dong's charge, but the fact that Ling Dong was covered in blood shocked Leng Cuo.
Leng Cuo wasn't stupid. Looking at Ling Dong's appearance, he knew that something big had happened. However, he still looked troubled.
Behind Leng Ji, the door of the house was wide open. A middle-aged man with messy clothes was sitting on the ground. As if disturbed by the situation outside, the three beautiful maids with half-exposed breasts surrounding the middle-aged man stood up one after another.
"Vice President Ling, what happened? Go change your clothes first. We'll talk later. "Leng Cuo gave Ling Dong a look.
However, Ling Dong acted as if he didn't see Leng Cuo's signal. He walked straight to Leng Cuo's side and gently cupped his hands. Under Leng Cuo's shocked gaze, Ling Dong walked directly into the hall filled with the smell of cosmetics. His hawk-like gaze locked onto the dissatisfied middle-aged man's face.
"Ling Dong, what are you doing?" It wasn't until Ling Dong walked in aggressively that Leng Cuo reacted. He hurriedly walked to Ling Dong's side and tried to smooth things over. "Ling Dong, this is the Yuanzhou Supervisory Envoy of the Tenmu Temple …"
Before Leng Cuo could finish speaking, Ling Dong gestured for him to stop. However, Ling Dong was the kind of person who could attract attention with his every move. Leng Cuo immediately stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense. The middle-aged man, the so-called Supervisory Envoy, also had a cold and cynical expression. However, he still raised his head high and looked at Ling Dong with half-closed eyelids, as if he was looking at an ant that he didn't even spare a glance at.
Ling Dong's eyes turned cold. He suddenly picked up the half-empty jar of wine on the table beside him and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, he threw the jar to the ground. "You are the person who was ordered by Murong Gong to restrain Palace Master Leng, right?"
Leng Cuo frowned. Before he could react to Ling Dong's words, the Supervisory Envoy raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Who does Murong Gong think he is? How dare he order me around!"
After that, the Supervisory Envoy's face darkened. He shouted at Leng Cuo, "Palace Master Leng, it seems that the rules of the Yangkoucheng branch church are rotten to the extreme. I will consider adding the words' incompetent 'to your evaluation."
Leng Cuo's face turned anxious. Ling Dong took advantage of the situation and said, "Since Murong Gong can't order you around, it means that you and Murong Gong have some shady business going on!"
"Hmph! Leng Cuo, how can you be a Hall Leader? Are you just a loafer? " After hearing Ling Dong's words, the arrogant Supervisory Envoy realized that he had misspoken. Ling Dong had hit the nail on the head. He was enraged and stood up abruptly. He pointed at Leng Cuo and scolded him.
Leng Cuo was not intimidated by the Supervisory Envoy. He cupped his hands and said, "Pitt's Envoy, please calm down. Vice President Ling has barged in with a bloody robe. Something big must have happened. Please forgive me, Pitt's Envoy."
After hearing Leng Cuo's words, the Pitt's Envoy's eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared at Leng Cuo with a piercing gaze. It was as if he was pressuring Leng Cuo.
Leng Cuo shook his head and said, "Vice President Ling is Region Lord Gongsun's favorite subordinate!"
Leng Cuo's words hit the nail on the head. Regardless of whether he tolerated Ling Dong or protected Ling Dong, it was all because the former Region Lord of the Tenmu Temple, Gongsun Zhanyi, valued Ling Dong very much. Of course, the most fundamental reason was that the Ling family had an ancestor that even Leng Cuo and Region Lord Gongsun were afraid of.
"Hmph, Yangkou City, I'll remember this!" When Pitt's Envoy's face was filled with anger, he suddenly turned around, slammed the door, and left.
"You with the surname Pi, remember this. My Ling family's five lives today will be repaid by you one day. As the Special Supervisory Envoy of the Tenmu Temple, you actually colluded with the Life and Death Tower. Heh … "As Ling Dong shouted angrily, Pitt's Envoy directly shot into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Pitt's Envoy leave in a hurry, Leng Cuo revealed a thoughtful expression. His face was filled with surprise.
It had been some time since Ling Dong joined the Tenmu Temple. Ling Dong had a basic understanding of the structure of the Tenmu Temple. The Tenmu Temple's external organizations mainly consisted of the regions and halls in the various provinces. These were external organizations that gathered wealth, gathered manpower, and fought for territory.
However, the Tenmu Temple's headquarters had an Supervisory Department, under which there were many Special Supervisory Envoys. These Special Supervisory Envoys were in charge of the Tenmu Temple's external organizations. Even the Region Lords of the regions were under their supervision.
Their comments could even influence the promotion of the Tenmu Temple's management personnel. Therefore, these Special Supervisory Envoys had a high status. Although they didn't have much power, they could make any higher-ups of the Tenmu Temple treat them with respect or even lower their heads.
This Pi was one of the Special Supervisory Envoys that the Tenmu Temple had sent to Yuanzhou.
After Ling Dong roughly explained the situation, Leng Cuo was shocked. "What? Murong Gong is so daring to set up a trap for you!"
Leng Cuo immediately frowned. "Murong Gong made such a big fuss. How many people did he lose? Cheng and Ji …" Leng Cuo's face revealed a nervous expression. If Cheng and Ji were injured, then the strength of the Tenmu Temple in Yangkou City would be greatly reduced.
"They are intact. Only the four Quasi Star Realm martial artists and one Constellation Realm martial artist who were guarding the mine died in battle!" When he said this, Ling Dong's heart ached. These people were only sent to Ling Dong by the Tenmu Temple.
However, to the current Ling Dong, as long as they obeyed his orders, every bit of strength was extremely precious.
"What? You wiped out the Zheng Family, killed two Quasi Star Realm martial artists, and only lost five of your twenty-one Constellation Realm martial artists?" Leng Cuo revealed a shocked expression.
"There was some luck involved. Palace Master Leng, shouldn't we gather people now and take advantage of the situation to destroy the Life and Death Tower in Yangkou City?" Ling Dong suggested.
Hearing Ling Dong's understatement, Leng Cuo gasped. Once again, he was shocked by the strength of the Ling family.
After recovering from his shock, Leng Cuo considered Ling Dong's suggestion. He frowned and asked, "Vice President Ling, why did you treat Pitt's Envoy like that? You even believed that Pitt's Envoy was in cahoots with Murong Gong."
"Murong Gong thought that I was in a hopeless situation. In order to persuade me to surrender, he said it himself," Ling Dong said.
"Murong Gong said it himself?" Leng Ran frowned again. "Vice Hall Master Ling, now that you mention it, it's a little strange. Today, Pitt's Envoy did come to our door for no reason. He casually asked a few questions about official business, and then enjoyed himself with wine and beautiful women. I could only sit here and accompany him!
Could it be that he really is in cahoots with Murong Gong? "
"Who cares if he is in cahoots or not. Let's gather our men and destroy the Life and Death Tower." Ling Dong sneered.
Leng Cuo raised his eyebrows and sighed, "It's too late. If Pitt's Envoy really is in cahoots with Murong Gong, it will be too late once he leaves. Once he leaves, he will definitely inform Murong Gong, and Murong Gong will be more or less on guard!
Moreover, attacking the Life and Death Tower is a serious matter. To be honest, even I can't make this decision! Come, come, come, drink a few cups of wine first to calm yourself down! "
Leng Cuo's expression changed, and he suppressed Ling Dong's suggestion. Ling Dong, who wanted to insist, thought about it and did not insist anymore. Currently, Ling Dong's family was not strong enough, and it was not time to make enemies with great fanfare.
After a few days of obtaining the Purifying Poisonous Ginseng and greatly improving the strength of his family, Ling Dong could do it without holding back. If he wanted to touch the Ling family, even in the Long An Territory, he would have to pay a price.
However, it would take some time to obtain the Purifying Poisonous Ginseng and greatly improve the strength of his family. The matter of the Star Transformation Pool was the most urgent matter.
After discussing with Leng Cuo for a while, Ling Dong brought up this matter.
