Chapter 92: The Four Major Families' Orders!
"The heavens are cloudy, and in half a year, it will be the Sacred City Conference. Ling Wu Shuang killed my disciple, the Saint Hall elder, but I won't pursue this matter for now. After the conference ends, I will settle accounts with each of you!" Sheng Lin knew he couldn't win today, so he left these words behind and vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes, truly like a ghostly figure that leaves no trace.
"The majesty of the holy temple shall not be violated! Tianye Yun, you wait for me!"
In the dark sky, Sheng Lin's voice lingered for a long time and could not disperse.
Everyone who heard this sentence with hidden murderous intent couldn't help but sweat for Tian Ye and Ling Wu.
Today, it's just the Holy Master who appeared alone. If the Holy Temple were to get angry and send a large army, it wouldn't be so easy. After all, two fists can't defeat four hands. Moreover, there are rumors that the Holy Temple has some old undying Taishang Elders who have even reached the realm of Peak Divine Humans. Although they have never shown their faces, the wind in the empty cave is still based on something.
Dong Lin Wang Nan Gong Qi heard this and his legs went soft, if the Holy Master was angry, he feared that the entire Dong Lin would be destroyed.
But at this time, Nan Gong Qi could only smile bitterly and couldn't blame Ling Wu Shuang, nor did he dare to blame Tian Ye Yun. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two people.
"You wait for me!" The sound echoed in the dark space.
Tian Ye Yun chuckled lightly and took a step forward, his hands behind him as he gazed up at the dark night sky. In a deep voice, he said: "Sheng Lin, Tian Ye Yun is waiting for you!"
Everyone looked up at Tianye with a reverent gaze, even if Tianye was a big shot, he didn't put the Holy Hall in his eyes, but they were helpless. However, such a powerful and arrogant figure, looking around the world of four countries, how many people can have?
"Sheng Lin, I think you'd better wash your neck clean and wait in your nest, half a year later, Ling Wu Shuang will definitely come to kill you!" As soon as Ling Wu Shuang's words came out, the people around him fell to the ground.
"How dare you be so outrageous!" The crowd's faces were filled with dark lines. This little ancestor who was playing with his life, dared to say such words, and the Holy Master had not even walked far yet.
The night sky was also stunned, turning his head to look at Ling Wu Shuang, meeting her innocent blinking big eyes, and immediately bursting into a hearty laugh, saying in a low voice: "What you said is right, half a year later, my master and I will definitely go to their door and kill them!"
Tian Ye Yun's eyes locked onto Ling Wu Shuang as he smiled faintly. He finally knew what was missing from himself.
Everyone shook their heads at these two master and apprentice...
"It's just a small temple, I'm Ling Wu Shuang, what can he do to me?" Ling Wu Shuang said with his arms crossed, his tone surprisingly similar to Lou Jun Yan's. The two words "just a" were spoken with a hint of disdain, causing the people around him to curl their lips in amusement.
"Teacher, have you really broken through to the Divine Rank?" Ling Wu's eyes seemed to smile and then withdrew, turning to look at Tian Ye Yun, with a hint of starlight in his gaze.
The master and apprentice stood on a stone staircase of several dozen layers high, facing the night sky, with an intimate warmth that seemed like father and daughter.
Tian Ye Yun lightly laughed and shook his head, facing the night sky with a sigh, "In this realm, breaking through to the Divine Stage is not that easy"
"No breakthrough?" Ling Wu Xuan was somewhat perplexed and asked in doubt: "Didn't Sheng Lin say that you had broken through?"
Tian Ye Yun seemed to sigh helplessly, and explained with a smile: "Between the Holy Rank and the Divine Rank, there is another watershed, which is the Sub-Divine Rank. It has a qualitative leap from the Holy Rank, and has grasped the power of the Divine Rank, but it is not truly the Divine Rank."
"Just one step away, or rather, just waiting for an opportunity to break through to the Divine Rank"
Even if he was a quasi-sage, he had been stuck for several years. If it weren't for the extraordinary effects of the rare twin lotus flowers, he still wouldn't know when he could break through.
"Next to godly..." Ling Wu Xuan nodded slowly, "It's equivalent to being a demigod."
"It can be said that" Tianye Yun smiled lightly and added, "The most important thing is what I said before, the divine origin energy. Without it, it's impossible to break through the divine rank."
Ling Wushuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and it was the aura of the divine origin, but what exactly was that thing? Suddenly, Ling Wushuang shook her head in distress. Jun Yan should know, how could she have forgotten all this?!
"Jiang Yang, stop right there!"
Jiang Yang saw that the situation was already lost, and when no one noticed him, he prepared to slip away. Tian Ye's cold shout entered his ears, and his mind was like a thunderbolt. When he came to, his whole body was limp on the ground, as if his spine had been pulled out.
Everyone's gaze followed Tianye Yun's stern rebuke, and they all gathered on the head of the Jiang family, casting contemptuous glances.
He wore a long black robe with a cloud pattern embroidered on it, and under the moonlight, his noble and elegant face looked even colder.
He walked slowly to the front of the Jiang family master and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yang, as the master of the four major families, you are greedy for fame, but you don't know how to use fair and honest means to compete. You collude with the Holy Temple and harm the disciples of the four major families without any scruples. Do you know your crime?"
The last sentence was coldly spat out, and the Jiang family members around him couldn't help but shudder all over.
"Ah... Ah..." Jiang Yang, facing Tian Ye Yun, couldn't muster up the courage to speak, trembling and stuttering, afraid that one wrong word would cost him his life.
At the time when the sky was dark and silent at night, someone from the Jiang family had already stood out. Judging by his appearance, he should be a relatively prestigious elder of the Jiang family.
He walked to Tianye Yun's side, bowed his hands and respectfully said: "Tianye sir, Jiang Yang broke the rules by colluding with people from the Holy Temple to participate in the family ranking competition, almost causing a big mistake. However, we were not aware of this matter." After a pause, he continued: "Just now, I and the elders and disciples of the Jiang family have unanimously decided to abolish Jiang Yang's position as head of the family and imprison him for life in the ancestral temple."
As the head of the Jiang family, doing such a thing has indeed disappointed many honest family members and elders. However, more importantly, such a head of household has already tarnished the family's reputation to the point where it cannot be tolerated!
"No, you can't!" Hearing this, Jiang Yang finally became furious and desperately retorted: "You can't abolish me, I am the master of the house, what right do you have to abolish me?!"
He did this for the prosperity of the whole family, why was he blamed in the end!
"Take him away"
Two of Jiang's disciples stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and carried Yang away, no matter how loudly he shouted, it was all in vain.
Ling Wushuang's red lips curled up slightly. The Jiang family did this, indirectly saving Jiang Yang's life as well. However, since they did this, she couldn't bear to tear off the facade either.
The night sky was almost invisible, and the dark eyes swept towards the two families of Ji Yun, saying faintly: "Before the ranking competition of the four major families, I also heard about the agreed things. Now that the results are out, I wonder what the two family heads think?"
The tone of Tianye Yun was not harsh, but it did not give rise to any intention of resistance.
The four major families' ranking match was divided into three parts, but in the young generation's trial, the Ling family won with a big score over the other three families. With the Jiang family being disqualified for violating the rules, the outcome was already decided, and there was no need to continue competing in the middle-aged and elderly groups.
The two heads of the Ji and Yun families looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and one of them gritted his teeth and said: "Tian Ye, this matter is indeed important, can we discuss it in more detail?"
Yun's family head finished speaking, his gaze seemed to drift towards Ling Wu Shuang, if it was the Ling family's intention, to completely merge their two families into a single outer chamber of the Yun family, then things would be far from good.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds at night, and the host of the Ji family hurriedly added, "Of course, we didn't mean to shirk our responsibilities, but just wanted to clarify some things."
Verbal agreement is one thing, but some things they still need to ask first.
"The two family heads have spoken heavily." Ling Wu Xiang walked forward, smiling lightly: "The remaining matters, please ask the two family heads to move to the Ling Family's Grand Hall for discussion."
This isn't a good place for follow-up questions on collection, some things she also needs to clarify.
The two homeowners felt a bit better in their hearts after hearing Ling Wu's friendly tone, but they still smiled somewhat awkwardly. After all, the rise and fall of their family was no longer entirely in their own hands.
Ling Kong Tian stroked his whiskers and smiled with great satisfaction.
Tian Ye Yun nodded slightly, her gaze towards Ling Wu Xue's eyes carrying a hint of doting, "Wu Xue, the teacher still has some matters to attend to, so I won't be going with you."
Ling Wushuang nodded with a smile, "Good"
Master Tianye must have just come out of his seclusion and rushed over; he must be here to solidify something.
East of Wang Nan Gong Qi, at this time, his heart was even more anxious and worried, really didn't know how to deal with the Ling family.
The rise of the Ling family has already posed a great threat to his position, and now that the four major families are about to merge into one, the imperial family's position is even more precarious. Alternatively, with just one order from Ling Wushuang, the Eastern Imperial Family would be completely annihilated in the storm and become history!
Form an alliance through marriage? Nan Gong Qi just thought about it and his intestines were almost regretting turning green. The man behind Ling Wu Shuang, he couldn't afford to provoke him, but if he let the Ling family continue to grow in power, would there still be a need for the Eastern Palace to exist?
Nangong Qi's face was filled with worry, his mind racing with thoughts, and for a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.
The four major families' ranking match, the Ling family won with a strong momentum, an unexpected yet expected outcome, leaving everyone in awe and whispering to each other as they left in twos and threes.
"Who says the Ling family has declined? I think that if we add a bit more fuel to the fire, we'll soon be back to our most prosperous period."
Some people sighed: "It's really a tiger father and no dog son, in those days, one generation was the best under the world Ling Huo, who challenged the older generation of masters across levels, won three consecutive championships, and led the Ling family to become the first Xuan Shi family in Dong Lin. The scene is still vivid in my memory."
Someone immediately added with regret, "It's a pity that it was short-lived. It suddenly disappeared without warning, and no one knew whether it was alive or dead. It's really a pity that geniuses often die young."
"I think Ling Wu Shuang is even more perverted than his dad"
……
The sky is pitch black, with stars twinkling.
The grand hall of the Ling family was brightly lit, with a long table set up in the center. Ling Tian stood at the head of the table, with Ling Wushuang and Ling Moqiu seated on either side of him. The several positions below them were occupied by the heads of the Ji, Yun, and Jiang families, as well as other important figures.
Jiang Yang was deposed, and the Jiang family was temporarily taken over by a respected elder. Outside the main hall, disciples from various families were waiting, peeking in curiously.
Several heads of households looked at each other for a long time, and finally, the head of the Ji family pursed his lips, looked at Ling Jing Tian, and spoke first: "This four-family ranking competition, the Ling family has won, it's not bad. We agreed in advance that we wouldn't regret it, but if you want us three families to merge into the outer rooms of the Ling clan...this is a bit..."
"I think there's been a misunderstanding, the Ling family didn't mean to include your three families in the outer house," Ling Wushuang said with a light smile as he stood up and took over the conversation.
Several homeowners heard this and immediately tensed up, some even couldn't help but stand up, exchanging glances with each other, their eyes filled with complexity and annoyance. "What do you mean?"
Can't even count the outer room? That's a bit too much deception!
"A few homeowners, don't be too anxious," Ling Jing Tian said in a deep voice.
Ling Lao Ye Zi, as a high-ranking Saint Realm expert, also had a relatively high seniority. In the current situation, several family heads couldn't afford to be reckless. Upon hearing his words, they felt anxious in their hearts but also calmed down.
"What I said was the four major families, and as one family, not what a few masters thought in their hearts." Ling Wu Shuang smiled lightly and continued: "From now on, there is no Ji Yun Jiang three families, nor is there a Ling family. The Four Major Families' decree, whoever is capable will get it!"
Ling Wushuang's one sentence made several family heads stunned, and even Ling Qingtian and Ling Moqiu were somewhat surprised. What is meant by "there is no Ling family"?
"This means..." The head of the Ji family seemed to understand a little, his face seemingly suppressing a thread of excitement.
Ling Wushuang's red lips curled slightly, and the light in her eyes was faintly visible. "My intention is that the current Donglin has no distinction between Lingyun Ji and Jiang families, only four major families with equal status. The four major families will compete fairly, and those who are capable will win!"
The last four words are powerful and sonorous!
The four major families of the present are not just a simple title as before, but on the surface and in harmony, behind each other, even openly fighting and secretly competing, the four major families in Ling Wu's mouth are an entity, an independent kingdom force!
"What!?" Several homeowners jumped up directly.
They didn't hear wrong, did they? Did Ling Wushuang go crazy? If that's the case, then the Ling family hasn't gained any advantage at all.
Ling Jing Tian and Ling Mo Qiu exchanged a glance, but neither of them made a sound.
Ling Wushuang explained in detail, "Of course, the holders of the four major family orders have absolute leadership rights. Among the four major families, law enforcers will be selected to jointly manage them, sharing honor and shame together!"
Ling Wushuang's last sentence made several family heads tremble in their hearts.
Honor shared is honor doubled; shame shared is shame halved!
Ling Wu's eyes gleamed with a distant light, "What do you think, esteemed family heads?"
Suppressing others cannot demonstrate one's own strength, only by continuously improving oneself in competition can one go further.
Ling Kong Tian stroked his whiskers, sighing in his heart, and couldn't help but think that Wu Shuang had really grown up.
Ling Moqiu was even more shocked, this was a great opportunity to suppress the other three families, but Wu Shuang did not do so, she saw further, saw deeper, this temperament, he couldn't compare with.
"...". Several homeowners were at a loss for words for a moment, and didn't know how to respond.
Ling Wushuang's red lips curled up, and she said again: "Of course, this time the family ranking competition, the Ling family won, and the first person to take charge of the four major families will naturally be appointed by the Ling family."
Several household heads looked at each other, although somewhat reluctantly, but also nodded in agreement.
It's only natural that the first of the four major family leaders should be from the Ling family, and for them, this is already the best outcome.
"A few masters, please follow me" Ling Wu's eyes lightly swept over the somewhat forced smiles of several people, turned around and walked out of the side door of the main hall without looking back.
Several household owners were stunned for a moment, and then they also got up and followed Ling Wushuang out. What are they going to do?
The Ling family's training grounds were shrouded in a haze of firelight, and even as the night had grown dark, there were still several hundred young men from the Ling family, divided into dozens of small teams, training diligently. Several heads of the household led their disciples closely behind Ling Bu, who walked ahead, leaving them speechless with shock.
"Peerless Miss!" The team leader's eyes widened as he saw the white figure walking towards him, and he immediately turned around to face the school grounds, shouting "Assemble!"
In less than ten seconds, hundreds of disciples quickly lined up in formation, each with a high morale and spirit, staring at the white figure walking slowly on the high platform.
"... " Several household owners stared at the scene on the school field, their old eyes wide with astonishment.
Among hundreds of people, dozens are Tian Xuan, and the rest are Di Xuan. High-ranking Di Xuan occupy a large part!
The four big families' ranking match, they went all out, brought out the things that were pressed at the bottom of their family, and prepared to take a gamble, but unexpectedly, the Ling family's lineup that made them surprised was only the tip of the iceberg, and even, the Ling family didn't bring out even one-tenth of their strength!
Several family heads stiffly looked towards Ling Wu, who was standing sideways in front of them. Among the younger generation alone, there were already several dozen Tianxuan.
They can determine that several months ago, these people in the Ling family were still a group of ordinary people. The decline of the Ling family was clear to them, otherwise they would not have rashly accepted such an appointment before the ranking match. However, it did not occur to them that after a few months, these people had undergone a complete transformation.
How is this possible? Even if Ling Wu Shuang was an alchemist, he couldn't possibly help so many people advance at the same time!
What they didn't know was that although Ling Wushuang's elixir was important, it was only supplementary. More importantly, she had changed the mindset of the younger generation of the Ling family!
Several family heads who followed them to the scene were shocked and amazed by what they saw, their eyes burning with envy, almost drooling.
"I've said it before, the four major families are equal in status, sharing honor and shame together. Ling Wushuang's red lips curled slightly as she turned to gaze at the disciples standing behind each of the family heads and elders. Her clear and cold voice struck directly at everyone's hearts: 'So, all the treatment that the Ling family disciples receive, every one of your families can also have. You too can become one of them!'"
"What!?" The disciples of each family were instantly boiling.
"What she means is, we can also become such masters..."
"I, I'm just a Mystic now, could it be that I can also break through to the Earth Mystic? Among them, even the lowest are all Earth Mystics!"
"Is it true? As long as we are not looked down upon, I am satisfied."
……
Several family heads were shocked for a long time and couldn't speak, they didn't expect that Ling Wushuang would really treat them equally. Moreover, after several family heads stared at each other in a daze for a few moments, they looked up at the hundreds of Ling family disciples on the school field. Their disciples could really do it?
They fought desperately for what? Wasn't it all just to make their family prosper and thrive!
Then, having obtained such a promise from Ling Wu Shuang, what reason would they have to be unwilling?
Several family heads looked at each other and nodded secretly. The head of the Ji family's eyes were fixed, and he stepped forward, saying: "The first leader of the four major families, I propose that Ling Wushuang take command!"
Yun Yang was indeed right, Ling Wu Shuang was truly different from ordinary people, he believed that with her leading the four major families, it was the most suitable.
I agree
"I agree too!"
The master of the Yun family and the master of the Jiang family nodded in agreement, their attitude was very firm. Although Ling Tian had a reputation, Ling Wushuang was the most suitable candidate.
Ling Wushuang was taken aback, she didn't expect such a situation to occur, her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at Old Man Ling for help, but unexpectedly, Ling Qingtian chuckled and stroked his beard, smiling and saying: "I agree, I also agree"
Ling Moqiu smiled and nodded, "Wu Shuang, this is what everyone has been expecting, so don't decline it."
He thought that Musou was the only one who had the ability to make everyone believe in him from the bottom of their hearts!
Ling Qing Tian smiled and patted the shoulder of his beloved granddaughter, "Wu Shuang, the four family orders are in your hands now. The remaining trivial matters will be taken care of by Grandfather and Fourth Uncle. Unless it's a big deal, we won't bother you."
Musou doesn't have so much energy to manage, then just be a absentee boss.
Several household heads fell silent for a moment, looking at Ling Wushuang without any opinion.
On the vast campus, flames burned bright red, hundreds of eyes stared straight at Ling Wu Shuang, with a hint of expectation flickering in their gaze. Ling Wu Shuang smiled wryly to himself, rubbed his nose, and nodded slightly.
The disciples of the Zhong family were all excited and couldn't help but glance at each other in twos and threes.
"Obey Miss Wudang's orders only!"
"Obey Miss Wudang's orders only!"
In the playground, the voices of kneeling and shouting rose like waves, echoing throughout this land!
Several homeowners were shocked and felt that such support was even more powerful than Ling Tian's.
Ling Wushuang slowly raised his hand, and the crowd immediately fell silent. His slender fingers pointed towards the night sky, and he clenched his fist fiercely, saying in a cold tone: "The four major families, when one is honored, all are honored; when one is humiliated, all are humiliated!"
"When one of the four great families is honored, all are honored; when one is disgraced, all are disgraced!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their voices uniform and loud, like the sound of war drums beating together.
"When one of the four great families is honored, all are honored; when one is disgraced, all are disgraced!"
Every member of this big family is boiling with enthusiasm, their cheering voices are like the waters of a river, surging and unending!
