Deliah's reaction wasn't out of Ling Xiao's expectation. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that there was such a crazy person in the world.
The practice of martial arts was indeed cruel, but this method of disregarding the lives of others for one's own personal gain was truly cold.
Ling Xiao didn't seem to be in a hurry, ”If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out. As long as they don't find out. However, the people from the Levi Family have already started consuming the refined essence produced by the pill. If their movements were too slow, they would have been given a chance to react.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Deliah jumped up. She didn't even have the time to greet Ling Xiao before she rushed to her father's room.
Ling Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and drank it silently. He had done what he needed to do. He could only place his hopes on the courage of Deliah's family members.
Being swift and decisive was probably the family's tradition. Before Ling Xiao even finished his cup of tea, Deliah's father, with a group of elders, came to the door and went straight to the point, ”We have already sent our experts to the place you said we would go and investigate. When they come back, if what you said is true, we will immediately contact the other families.”
Putting down the tea cup, Ling Xiao looked at him in admiration.
It seemed that Deliah's family would have to obtain the greatest benefit from this incident.
On the other side, Levi Family.
The Patriarch and Martha were overwhelmed by the dense crowd of people who had rushed up to congratulate them.
The chief glanced at the ordinary clansmen who did not know what was going on below and whispered to Martha, ”How is the progress of the mine going?”
Martha replied in a low voice, ”The last batch of materials will be delivered soon. When they're done, they'll be destroyed. When the news gets out, tell them that there was an explosion and no one escaped.”
The clan head was still a bit worried. His cautious nature made him secretly call for his strongest battle force, a fourth level Martial Master. He wanted him to head to the mines to monitor the situation there.
On the other side, the Martial Cultivator sent by Deliah's family had just arrived at the town and stealthily sneaked into the open-air valley where the wails echoed to the sky.
After confirming that what Ling Xiao said was the truth, he turned around and left. Under the dim light of the morning sun, he returned to his family.
He, who had been rushing towards the Kata City, coincidentally encountered the Martial Cultivator in the city who was ordered to watch over the mines.
The two of them were in the same realm, so it was impossible for them to hide in front of each other. They could only take a quick glance at each other before each of them headed in the opposite direction.
Receiving the report from the clan expert, Deliah's father was silent for a moment before making his decision. ”Invite the clan leaders of Bloom, Jura, and Marksinville as soon as possible!”
These families were all on good terms with Deliah's family, and had the confidence to make their own people expose the crime of Levi Family.
On the other side, the more the martial master thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. It was only after a long time did he finally remember who the person was! He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained the situation before turning around and heading straight to the tunnel exit.
”Are you sure?” Martha's father asked with a dark expression.
The Martial Master did not care about his terrible tone and said urgently: ”It's absolutely true! That person was a member of their family. Although I have only met him once, there are only a few fourth stage Martial Masters in the city.
Martha immediately added, ”Deliah and we have not fought for a long time. Even if we are not sure if it is a coincidence, we cannot gamble with her.” I will immediately get them to destroy all traces, and I definitely cannot let them find any clues! ”
