Ling Yun and the Sun family were already at a stand-off where neither would retreat until one side died. Tonight, he was going to save Zhuang Meifeng and her family. He already decided to start a huge war.
In order to truly establish power and become a real threat to Beijing’s Sun Family, other than luring them to Qingshui City then exterminating them, there was no other way!
Dugu Mo flashed a bright smile as he said, “As long as we aren’t facing a normal person, I don’t mind starting a huge war together with you!”
Very quickly, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng also dashed out from Linjiang Gardens. Behind them, Liang Fengyi, Zhang Ling, and the beautiful broadcaster, Fang Lingfei, followed.
After running out from the entrance, Zhang Ling dashed straight to Ling Yun, hoping to run into his arms once again. But after seeing Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, who had the ghost of a smile on their faces, she immediately stopped in her tracks as her cheeks blushed slightly.
“Ling Yun, wh-what are you doing later?” Zhang Ling had tossed aside her strange behaviors from the past. Her head bowed low, and she asked this while blushing.
Ling Yun chuckled as he pointed to himself and said, “Do you see the state I’m in? What else can I do? Of course I’m going back home to take a shower first.”
A wave of excitement rushed over Zhang Ling. She was about to say “I’ll go with you” on instinct, but no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it would be inappropriate. So, she swallowed her words immediately.
Ling Yun smiled and said, “Alright, if there’s anything else, we’ll talk after we return to the city. How are you guys getting there?”
Even though he was asking casually, his gaze was directed towards Liang Fengyi.
“Zhang Ling, you take the car and return to the city with me first…” With his gaze directed at her, Liang Fengyi’s heart skipped a beat as she pulled Zhang Ling to her and said this.
Zhang Ling obviously wanted to leave with Ling Yun, but seeing Dugu Mo, who was standing next to Ling Yun, she felt very uncomfortable. Being pulled by Liang Fengyi, she thought to herself that she could only do as she said. So, she said to Ling Yun, “You have to keep your phone turned on, alright?”
Ling Yun smiled and nodded. “Relax, my phone is fully charged. I’ll turn it on once I get back.”
Ling Yun didn’t take his phone out when he left the house in the morning. If he still didn’t turn it on, Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining would have no idea what happened to him, and he didn’t want to leave them worrying about him.
Reluctantly, Zhang Ling got into Liang Fengyi’s car. Before she got into the car, her beautiful eyes shot a look at Ling Yun. Then, she started up the car and left.
The gaze was very complex, holding many emotions and thoughts. With that look from her, Ling Yun was frazzled. However, he quickly tossed those emotions to the back of his mind as he called for the rest to get into Tang Meng’s Hummer.
“Brother Yun, there were so many reporters just now. Why didn’t you just release Gou Lianshan’s testimony right then and there?” Tang Meng asked Ling Yun once he got into the car.
Ling Yun and Dugu Mo sat in the backseat of the car. Laughing dryly, he said, “That was just a recording. With that, it’s not that useful for dealing with Luo Zhong. Also, even if the reporters heard it, they definitely wouldn’t dare to broadcast it.”
“That’s why I thought that we should exterminate the Sun Family first, then hand this recording to your father and Uncle Li. With this breakthrough, it wouldn’t be too hard to destroy Luo Zhong, right?”
Hearing this, Tang Meng’s heart was shaken. He thought to himself that he was too caught up in giving that loser what he deserved. How did he not think about the issue to that extent?
“Hehe, Bro Ling Yun’s still the best. Rest assured, leave this matter to my father and Uncle Li. They have all sorts of methods to deal with Luo Zhong. As long as the investigation is launched, he’ll have a mountain of problems to deal with! He’ll definitely die!”
Ling Yun smiled dryly and told Tang Meng to return to the rental house first. Then, he asked, “Tang Meng, how is the restoration for the two mansions going?”
Tang Meng chuckled as he said, “Brother Yun, before Tie Xiaohu and I got into trouble, those two mansions’ restorations were already pretty much complete. We spent a total of about thirty million, you’ll definitely be satisfied!”
Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn’t help but feel a sharp pain in his chest. After staying silent for a while, he said, “God, you really didn’t hold back. Over thirty million? It’s not even your money!”
Tang Meng chuckled as he said, “You gave me eight million at first, then gave me five million. And Ning Er gave me twenty million too. When we were restoring Mansion Number One, she was monitoring it the whole time. She spent even more than you, and she still wasn’t satisfied!”
Ling Yun nodded helplessly. With her around, they would definitely spend a lot.
He smiled and asked, “That means, I can stay in Mansion Number One now?”
Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu nodded simultaneously. Smiling as he drove, Tang Meng said, “Of course, you’ll know after you get back. Mansion Number One’s rooms are all filled now…”
Ling Yun asked about his own land rover as well, and Tang Meng said that it had always been at Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine. Hearing this, Ling Yun felt relieved.
“How much did we get out of Tian Botao?”
“One mansion in Linjiang Garden, a two hundred square meter house in the city, and ninety million in funds!” Tang Meng replied while laughing.
Ling Yun nodded, thinking that he had gotten a lot out of him. Turning to the two people, he said, “After tomorrow, we’ll buy Qingyun Productions. This time, we can’t be as civil as the last time. We have to find a way to capture Huang Feiyang and give him a taste of pain!”
Tang Meng said agitatedly, “Buy… Qingyun Productions?”
Ling Yun laughed and said, “Yep, buy it. Don’t we still have Qingyun Production’s IOU? Tell them to either pay up or give up their company. No matter what, we have to get the money for renovating the mansion!”
After finishing his words, Ling Yun then began to lecture Tie Xiaohu. “Tie Xiaohu, you’re too dumb too, how did you even survive in Green Dragon all those years? The police arrest you, and you just let them?”
Tie Xiaohu scratched his head and said, “Brother Yun, I really wanted to escape, but didn’t this matter concern you too? If I escaped, then we’d definitely have a sentence on us. After you came back, it’d be more difficult for you too…”
“And when they arrested me, more than twenty cops with loaded guns surrounded me immediately. Without saying another word, they took me back to the station. I couldn’t even make a move on them…”
Hearing this, Ling Yun fell into silence. After a while, he said, “You’re still too weak. When you become stronger, do what you need to. You don’t even have to bother about those small fries!”
What kind of cultivator couldn’t display his abilities in front of regular people? Ling Yun thought that was completely ridiculous!
Dugu Mo had said that he wouldn’t use his powers against regular people, but if a crowd of police pointed their guns at him and wanted to capture him or attempted to fire at him, Ling Yun didn’t believe that Dugu Mo would just sit there quietly and let himself be captured!
Today, the men that Luo Zhong brought were unable to fire because there were too many people at the scene. Once Ling Yun appeared, he had Luo Zhong in the palm of his hands too. In the end, Luo Zhong didn’t dare to give the order to capture him. If Luo Zhong really dared to use force against Ling Yun, Ling Yun would have definitely made the first move to capture Luo Zhong first with his abilities.
“Any news on Zhuang Meifeng?” Right now, most of the other matters were more or less settled. The most pressing matter was to save Zhuang Meifeng. Ling Yun began to ask Tang Meng.
Tang Meng shook his head immediately. “No, ever since sis-in-law went to her house, it was as though a pebble fell into the ocean. No other news has come out since then.”
With a dark expression, Ling Yun nodded slowly as his eyes flashed with a killing intent that was as chilling as a blizzard!
Dugu Mo felt Ling Yun’s killing intent. Unwittingly, the corners of his lips curled up. He remembered the time when both of them had a massacre at Shennongjia.
That cruel, ruthless, and heartless self of his even made a highly skilled warrior like Dugu Mo feel chills run down his spine.
“The Sun Family will definitely be exterminated tonight…” Dugu Mo sighed quietly as he lightly shook his head, closing his eyes to rest.
The four of them quickly returned to the rental house. Ling Yun returned to the bathroom to take a hot shower first, washing off all the dirt on his body. Then, he changed into a fresh set of exercise clothes and went to the living room.
In his heart, Ling Yun was actually very anxious. This was because even though some small matters had already been settled, Zhuang Meifeng, Xiao Meimei, and Cao Shanshan’s whereabouts were unknown. There was no news about them, and this gave him a feeling of burning anxiety.
It was easier to tell where Cao Shanshan was. She was probably back at her own house, so she wouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger.
Zhuang Meifeng was obviously captured by the Sun family as bait, and they were waiting for Ling Yun to send himself to the scene. If Sun Tianbiao had a bit of a brain, Zhuang Meifeng would definitely still be alive.
But, it wasn’t the same for Xiao Meimei! There was a 95% chance that Xiao Meimei was captured by the Assassins Organization, a cold-blooded and heartless organization!
Even though Ling Yun and Xiao Meimei knew each other, it all started out with Xiao Meimei being sent to assassinate him. But when both of them saved Zhuang Meifeng for the first time, they had both gone through a life-and-death situation together. The bond that they had between them wasn’t just any other close one.
Furthermore, Xiao Meimei had a physical relationship with Ling Yun. Even though Ling Yun didn’t enter her body, she was unquestionably Ling Yun’s woman. Right now, she had disappeared completely without any information. How could he not be anxious?
“Brother Yun, you’d better turn on your phone now. Ning Er and the others couldn’t contact you all morning, and they’re even calling me now!”
Seeing Ling Yun come out, Tang Meng said this miserably to Ling Yun. He had just endured Xue Meining’s vicious scolding.
Ling Yun smiled as he nodded. Taking out his fully-charged phone, he turned it on and began calling Xue Meining’s number, telling her not to worry. Then, he talked to Ning Lingyu and Yao Rou separately, giving each of them words of reassurance before hanging up the phone.
“Let’s go, we’ll have a huge meal first and then head to Mansion Number One!” Ling Yun said this to the three men directly.
“Hehe, brat, after letting you take all the glory in the morning, how could you forget about me when you have a meal? You deserve a beating!”
Ling Yun had just finished his words when an elderly voice resounded from outside. It was Cui Lao.
Ling Yun chuckled. “Cui Lao, it’s been a while, I was just about to contact you, but I didn’t know how to do that…”
Cui Lao laughed, then directly used his telepathic ability to tell Ling Yun how he could be contacted, instructing him to not tell anyone else.
Ling Yun remembered this as he warmly invited Cui Lao to have a meal together.
The five of them left the rental house and went to a huge restaurant to have a hearty meal. At one-thirty in the afternoon, they made it to Mansion Number One.
Just as Ling Yun got off the car, and before he even took out his keys to open the door, he saw a flash of white. In the next moment, Little White jumped straight into Ling Yun’s arms, as fast as a flash of lightning.
Ling Yun laughed as he hugged Little White. He let Tie Xiaohu open the door, then walked in with the others.
The courtyard and Mansion Number One were like two separate worlds!
Once Ling Yun walked into the mansion, he immediately felt the presence of a thick and condensed spiritual energy. Even without him intending to, all of it rushed straight into his body!
Ling Yun naturally began to absorb this spiritual energy continuously. Currently, his energy center was large, and his meridians were thick and strong as well. The amount of energy that he could absorb was far more than before!
But looking at Little White, who seemed to resemble a human more and more, he slightly raised an eyebrow. He knew that Little White could transform at any moment.
But Ling Yun hadn’t found a place for Little White yet. There was no way he could let Little White transform in Mansion Number One all the time. Mansion Number One would definitely be destroyed then!
“This… Ling Yun, your courtyard…”
After he entered, Cui Lao and Dugu Mo gave each other a shocked look, signaling the shock and emotion in each of their expressions!
Both of them were already a step into the Xiantian Realm, and Cui Lao had been at Houtian Realm Level Nine for ten years, unable to breakthrough. He was able to feel some heavenly energy in the area.
Training essence to energy then energy to spirit, the entire process of training essence to spirit was known as heavenly energy. It was also known as Xiantian in the academy.
Heavenly energy was also a type of spiritual energy. The differences between the two ranged names, types, and auras, but the core was actually the same.
Ling Yun turned the entire Mansion Number One into a spiritual energy fortress. He hadn’t returned to this place for seven full days. Naturally, the spiritual energy in Mansion Number One was very dense.
Ling Yun turned and chuckled at Cui Lao and Dugu Mo, saying, “Since you’re already here, my courtyard here is actually very helpful for your cultivation practice. If you practice here, you can increase the efficiency of your cultivation practice by many folds!”
“But, Cui Lao…” Ling Yun paused as he spoke and changed to telepathy before saying, “Cui Lao, I saw that you had a severe injury in the past, causing huge damage to your meridian and energy center. So, your cultivation progress has become very difficult. If you trust me, I’ll offer you some treatment, how about that?”
“Gah…” Cui Lao was shocked, but his eyes revealed unsuppressed joy as he said in shock, “Little… Little lad, you can tell I have internal injuries?”
Eighteen years ago, every cultivator in the Ling Family suffered severe injuries. Cui Lao was no exception. Even though it had been eighteen years, he had only progressed to the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine from the early stages. Then, he had absolutely no progress for ten entire years!
Ling Yun smiled wordlessly, only extending a hand out to Cui Lao.
Without Ling Yun having to say a word, Dugu Mo had already happily found a spot and sat down cross-legged, starting his cultivation practice.
Ling Yun brought Cui Lao towards the living room as he told Tie Xiaohu, “Prepare half a bowl of dog’s blood for me!”
Tonight, there was still a deathmatch to fight. Ling Yun didn’t want to end up like the last time when he was nearly killed. He still had a lot of Fire Talismans, but he didn’t have a single Healing Talisman left. He had to prepare sufficient Healing Talismans this time.
But, Emperor Brush had already made its way into Ling Yun’s temples. Ling Yun didn’t have spiritual senses, so he couldn’t sense it at all. He had tried to extract it out countless times, but it always ended in failure.
Even though he could no longer use the Emperor Brush, Ling Yun had already attained the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Four. The spiritual energy within his body flowed smoothly and in abundance. He felt that even if he were to use the regular Wolf Brush, he would be able to create similar grades of Healing Talismans.
“Cui Lao, this way, I’ll give you some treatment first!”
