Chapter Eighty-One: Family Feud
Ling Wusuo stepped on air and rose up, with a pair of flame wings spreading from her back, like the goddess of desire, unattainable.
"How...how is this possible?" Under the shock, several elders were speechless.
The Poison Saint's face turned even uglier, but he was also the first to react. He suddenly swung his hand and a black palm shot out at Ling Wusuo in mid-air.
Ling Wushuang lifted one foot off the ground and shifted her body slightly to the side, dodging this attack with ease.
The Poison Sage gazed at the person in mid-air, his eyes extremely venomous, quickly raised his head, and let out a lion-like roar, carrying an exceptionally thick atmosphere, as if bursting forth from his abdominal cavity.
"Roar——roar——"
The lion's roar sends out a terrifying sound wave, like ripples on water, spreading out in all directions.
Ling Wu's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, the flames on her back quivered slightly, and her petite body shot up into the sky, transforming into a crimson streak of light that vanished before several people's eyes in the blink of an eye.
"You all continue playing, I won't join in anymore"
The man had long since disappeared from view, but a voice remained, suspended in the air, slowly revolving and dissipating, as if it came from the distant horizon.
Several elders of the church looked at me, I looked at them, and we all stood there in stunned silence, our faces twisted and contorted as if we had swallowed a fly.
Ling Wushuang actually really did it, just like that, under their noses, he grew wings and flew away!
"Ah——Ling Wusuo!" The one who looked the most embarrassed was, of course, the person who had previously spoken up to mock Ling Wusuo several times. He had wanted to clip her wings and make it difficult for her to fly, but he hadn't expected that she would actually sprout wings and take off.
The poisonous saint's breath caused his whole body to shudder, and he panted heavily with his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in place. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head and let out a loud roar, shaking the surrounding area as if the mountains were trembling and the earth was shaking.
"What shall we do now?" Several elders were at a loss for what to do.
"What's going on?" Du Sheng's anger flared up, and he sprayed a mouthful of fiery air at several people, shouting loudly: "Do you still want to go to the Ling family and kill them?"
Several elders exchanged a glance, and they all fell silent. It wasn't the right time yet; they hadn't figured out the background of that powerful person behind the Ling family. They couldn't act rashly. If it was indeed someone from that region, the Holy Temple was not to be trifled with.
The morning light is faint, the trees are lush and verdant, this small world, fragrant grasses are secluded and fragrant, clear springs gurgle.
Ling Wushuang took a step back, covering her chest, still feeling somewhat stifled. The profound strength of Bai Zhan Tian's Poison Saint was indeed not to be underestimated; if she had forced herself to fight head-on, she would have definitely suffered greatly.
Ling Wu Shuang slowly clenched his fist, somewhat sighing and murmuring: "It seems that the difference between a high-ranking Saint and a low-ranking one is not just a little bit."
Then, Ling Wu Xiong found a quiet place to sit down and took several Sheng Yuan Dan. The needle-like pain in his brain suddenly disappeared.
But if someone were to see this, they would surely curse the prodigal son for being reckless. Only Ling Wu Xiang could possibly treat the sacred Dan medicine like candy.
"What is most important for the ascension of the Holy Steps?" Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Ling Wushuang was slightly injured, his breathing unstable. If he were to rush back to the Ling residence at this moment, he would definitely be detected by Old Master Ling. To avoid worrying Old Master Ling, Ling Wushuang sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breath.
The several times Du Sheng's moves had seemingly given her a hint of enlightenment, and it was just the right opportunity to make a breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, she closed her eyes and when she opened them again, three days had passed. During these few days, the eastern part of the capital city was in a state of utter chaos.
A few days ago, someone saw Jiang Jia Gongzi leading a group of people to block Ling Wushuang on the street. Later, the Holy Stage Battle broke out outside the city of Beijing, and after several days, there was no news from Ling Wushuang. This series of events suggests that Ling Wushuang may be in great danger.
Ling Lao Ye Zi took action and led the Ling family disciples to search, but after finding nothing, in a state of anxiety, he actually brought the siege to the Jiang family gate.
Outside the Jiang family's residence, two groups of people and horses stood facing each other, ready for battle at any moment.
The head of the Jiang family stood in front of the gate, seeing the imposing Ling Laoye in front of him, and angrily said: "Ling Qingtian, Ling Wushuang himself is missing, but you insist on saying that it has something to do with my Jiang family, which is too much to deceive people."
At this time, Old Man Ling didn't listen to the words of the head of the Jiang family at all. His face was as calm as water, but his heart was burning with anxiety. "Someone saw it with their own eyes, Jiang Yi brought Duankou Wushuang here. I'll say it again, hand over Jiang Yi, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."
Ling Lao Yezi was almost blinded by anger, and beside Jiang Yi, there were Shui Xian'er and Wu Shuang, who would definitely fall into their hands!
The head of the Jiang family, suddenly furious, his voice also colder by several degrees, "Ling Jing Tian, now that Jiang Yi is no longer in the Jiang family, how can I teach him? I think you are intentionally trying to frame him and stir up internal conflict among the four major families."
Not to mention that Jiang Yizhen is not at home, even if he were at the Jiang residence, Ling Qingtian would not hand him over even if he came knocking on the door like this.
Ling Moqiu was even more anxious and uneasy these past few days. Taking a step forward, "Is Jiang Yi at the Jiang residence? Jiang Yang, let me search for him!"
If the Jade Pendant really fell into Jiang Yi's hands, it would definitely be in the Jiang family. If... Ling Moqiu didn't dare to think further.
Dozens of Ling family disciples who came with Old Man Ling simultaneously looked towards the Jiang family, waiting for a single command to charge forward.
"Lin Moqiu!" The master of the Jiang family shouted loudly, "Do you really think that my Jiang family has no one? If you continue to be arrogant and provocative, even if it means death, I will fight with you to the end!"
The head of the Jiang family, with a sinister glint in his eye, even if the two Ling family saints were present, but if they really fought, it's not certain that the Jiang family would be at a disadvantage. Now that Ling Wusuo is missing, apart from Ling Qingtian and Ling Moqiu, the Ling family is left with only a bunch of useless people, and two fists can't contend with four hands.
The several elders of the Jiang family, known as "home owners", however, were somewhat hesitant. "Why bother with Ling Qingtian, this madman? This matter, you can just call out Jiang Yi and ask him to know."
The head of the Jiang family had a gloomy expression and stared fixedly at Ling Qingtian, but didn't say a word.
He certainly knew, but now Jiang Yi is really not around, more importantly, Jiang Yi and Sheng Tang colluded to harm Ling Wu Shuang. He indeed knew about this matter, he just stood by and did nothing, but didn't think that he would be discovered by the despicable old thing Ling Jing Tian. If Ling Jing Tian doesn't care about the face of the four major families at all and goes crazy, it will be troublesome.
Ling Lao Yezi took a step forward, his whole body exuding an aura of majesty that was oppressive, "Hand over Jiang Yi!"
If anything happens to Yushuang Zhen, he will risk his life to make the Jiang family and Sheng Tang pay for it!
"Hand over Jiang Yi!" The crowd of Ling family disciples also shouted in unison.
The head of the Jiang family slightly gasped, only then realizing that the dozens of Ling family disciples brought by Ling Tian, were all high-ranking Earth Xuan, and even more astonishingly, there was a Heaven Xuan expert among them. In his extreme anger, he had overlooked this.
"I've told you, Jiang Yi is no longer in the Jiang household, how can I hand him over?!" The master of the Jiang household gritted his teeth, not thinking much, and unwilling to fall behind in terms of momentum. "Ling Tian, you are truly unreasonable."
That detestable Ling Tianyuan, having only heard a bit of news, actually forced his way into the Jiang family like this. He must have been looking for an excuse to come and provoke them on purpose.
"What's the use of talking reason?" Ling Tian's tone suddenly dropped, furious words burst out, he raised his hand and waved it backwards, "Search!"
His granddaughter's life and death are unknown, what moral principles can he still discuss with these people!
"Ling Jing Tian, are you trying to trigger a war among the four major families?" Just as Ling Jing Tian was about to give the order to search for people, the surrounding crowd parted, and Yun family's patriarch arrived with a large group of people, followed by the Ji family members.
"Finally arrived," said the master of the Jiang family, instantly letting out a sigh of relief, and even secretly rejoicing in his heart.
The Ling family now has two sacred levels, and the three families are single-handedly above them. No one is a match for them. However, if the three big families join forces to destroy the Ling family, this Eastern Tombs will become the world of the Jiang family in the future! Even if Ling Er Tian and Ling Mo Qiu don't die, they will be cut off from their descendants. Let's see what waves they can stir up again!
"Ling brother, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that private fights are not allowed before the family ranking tournament?" The head of the Ji family also arrived with many disciples from his family, but his tone was slightly softer than the other two families.
The onlookers were amazed, watching the scene unfold. It seemed like a full-blown family war was about to erupt, and judging from the situation, it appeared that three families were going to join forces to resist the Ling family. Even with two Saint-level experts, the Ling family's prospects didn't look optimistic.
Ling Lao Yezi let out a cold snort, "If the Jiang family is not guilty, why don't they hand over Jiang Yi?"
Delay for a moment, Ling Wushuang may be in danger, and Old Man Ling doesn't want to delay for even one second.
"Ling Tian, you are simply unreasonable!" The head of the Jiang family thundered, "It seems that just because you have someone from the Ling family backing you up, you think you can be reckless and unscrupulous. If you insist on tearing apart the faces of the four major families, I think Yun brother and Ji brother will not stand idly by."
Jiang Yang's words completely dragged down both Ji Yun families.
"You'd better think through the consequences." If Jiang's family were to openly oppose and become enemies with Ling's family, the Holy Temple would certainly support Jiang's family.
On the other hand, Ling Wushuang, after several days of meditation and introspection, felt his body as light as a swallow, and even sensed an increase in his Xuanli. He walked slowly into the city gate, only to see that the people around him had tense expressions, which left him perplexed - what major event had occurred?
"Old Master Ling is really furious this time. The entire city of Jing has been searched from top to bottom, and still no sign of Ling Wushuang." Someone clicked their tongue in disapproval.
"With such a big commotion, the royal family didn't even come out to stop it. However, I heard that Ling Wushuang's disappearance seems to be related to the Jiang family. At this moment, Old Man Ling is leading people to attack the Jiang family."
Ling Wu's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, his face suddenly covered in dark lines, and with a flash of movement, he vanished from sight.
How did the old man make such a big commotion, she led Jiang Yi and others to the outskirts of the city, originally didn't want the old man to detect worry, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
"Search!" With a single order, no one expected that the three major families would all rush over, yet still couldn't stop Ling Tian's determination to kill his way into the Jiang family.
The head of the Jiang family, with a face as pale as iron, forced out harsh words: "All members of the Jiang family, listen to my orders! If anyone from the Ling family dares to step into the Jiang family's gate, I will show no mercy and kill them!"
If it's true that Ling broke into their house, then what face would the Jiang family have left?!
At this time, the onlookers around them retreated one after another, it's really going to start a fight.
Ling Wushuang arrived just in time to see this tense scene, and was momentarily at a loss for whether to cry or laugh. Just as he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped dead in their tracks.
If she goes out safely at this time, the Jiang family will definitely seize the opportunity to provoke the Ling family on purpose and launch a full-scale war. The other three families will also inevitably lean towards the Jiang family. Given the relationship between the imperial family and the Jiang family, even if they don't intervene, it's already neutral. Moreover, there is still the Saint Hall lurking in the shadows...
This is absolutely not a good time to start a war.
What's to be done? Ling Wu's eyes gleamed with a shifting light, her mind racing with various thoughts that flashed by in an instant. Suddenly, she smiled, and the corners of her lips curled up into a sly smile.
Jun Yan, I'm borrowing you for a moment.
