C73 The soul and soul leave the body and enter the soul (1/2)
The Cangzhou City was a special city that belonged to the territory of the Dazzling Sky Empire, but it was extremely close to the Water Night Empire. Ever since Xuan Tian's and Shui Ye's relationship with the two empires had gradually deteriorated many years ago, the border cities had been plagued by worries that they could be attacked at any time. This also caused the situation in the Cangzhou City to be very bad for the past few years.
The Ling Family, a great family of the Cangzhou City, its status was similar to the Zhang Family of the Smoke Spirit City, but unfortunately, the Ling Family did not have the luck of the Zhang Family. As the new City Lord took up his position and helped the opposing family grow, the Ling Family's situation became worse and worse. His business was poor and he was being targeted. Even the young miss of the family could be taken away by the enemy at any time.
Because of the Cangzhou City's unique geographical location, all of the sects did not choose to station themselves nearby. There was no sign of a sect within a hundred miles. Originally, due to the lack of interference from the sects, the lives of the citizens of the Cangzhou City were beautiful and peaceful. But the war between the two countries caused suffering to the people. Although there was no official war, the people were still worried.
In the Ling Family Meeting Hall, Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang were seated, quietly tasting the good tea that the servant had sent over. After Ling Hua brought the two of them here, he left. Lu Feng was not in a hurry either. Ye Zichen looked around at his surroundings. As a large clan of the Cangzhou City, not only were the decorations simple, there were not even a few servants.
I am Ling Gaoze, the patriarch of the Ling Family, Old Hua had already told me earlier. Thank you for saving my daughter. Sparse footsteps came from outside the hall. Lu Feng slowly put down the teacup and raised his head to see a tall and sturdy youth wearing simple clothes walking in. Behind them were Ling Hua and Ling Jiao. As for the other person, Lu Feng did not recognize him.
However, from the fact that that person was closely following the Ling Family Patriarch and dressed in luxurious clothing, he was likely to be the Ling Family's Great Elder. Ling Gaoze's little brother. Lu Feng sized up the Ling Family Great Elder. His eyebrows were short and indifferent, his scheming was extremely strong, and he had a strong desire for revenge. Typical bad guy look.
As Lu Feng looked at the Grand Elder's unsettled expression, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. From the looks of it, the Ling family's decline was inextricably linked to this Great Elder. Lu Feng stood up and cupped his fists towards Ling Gaoze, and politely said: ”Patriarch Ling, what are you saying, we are not even on the road.”
”Hmph, you make it sound like you were the one who did it.” The cold snort caused the originally suitable atmosphere in the hall to become awkward. The Great Clan Elder slowly walked over and looked at Lu Feng who was dressed in a scholar's attire, and said with disdain. The report from Ling Hua earlier naturally explained everything that had happened. Sun Shengyang was nearly a head taller than Lu Feng, and anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell who the person Ling Hua was describing was in an instant.
”Second brother, how can you speak like that? Young Hero, please do not be offended, this is my second brother, Ling Boyuan. ” Ling Gaoze scolded Ling Boyuan with slight dissatisfaction, then looked at him and smiled apologetically.
Lu Feng waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing wrong, and then looked at Ling Jiao who was behind Ling Gaoze, changed into a light blue long skirt, and hid behind Ling Gaoze while blinking his eyes playfully. After everyone took their seats, Lu Feng immediately asked Ling Gaoze: ”According to Uncle Hua, outsiders do not know that Miss Ling is out transporting goods, but in the Sky Stream Valley, before Luo Jun met with Miss Ling, he asked his to stay, what do you think?”
”Sigh, I've also heard about this from Old Hua. I'm also very curious as to how Luo Jun found out about it, and no matter how declining our Ling Family is, they weren't bullied by the bandits. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. ” Ling Gaoze sat in the main seat, his fists clenched slightly, his eyebrows furrowed as he said angrily.
”What else?” It's clear that there's a traitor, isn't this clear? ” Sun Shengyang who was at the side said in a bored manner. It didn't matter if he said this, but it brought the atmosphere in the hall to its lowest point once again. Ling Gaoze's face was filled with awkwardness, while he also shook his head helplessly. Sun Shengyang really did not care about the feelings of others.
”Brat, what did you say!?” How could there be a traitor in my Ling family? How dare you speak nonsense like that! ” Before Ling Gaoze could say anything, Ling Boyuan jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, and pointed at him with his finger as he scolded.
”Humph, who are you calling a yellow nosed kid!?” Sun Shengyang's violent temper would not care about others' face, after hearing Ling Boyuan's berating, his entire body immediately released his Qi, the Qi from his Mystic King Realm rushed towards Ling Boyuan, suppressing Ling Boyuan to the point that his head was covered in cold sweat, he was unable to say a single word.
Due to his excitement just now, he had completely forgotten about the cultivation level of Sun Shengyang's Mystic King Realm. In the entire Ling Family, only Ling Gaoze had managed to break through to the Mystic King Realm realm. Ling Boyuan's cultivation was only at the peak of the Mystical Master, so how could he be a match for Sun Shengyang?
”Alright, Yang. Since Elder Ling does not believe what we have said, we will not linger any longer. Goodbye! ” Lu Feng who was sitting down stood up and said to Sun Shengyang indifferently. Seeing Sun Shengyang retract his aura, he cupped his hands and said to Ling Gaoze. To the side, Ling Boyuan who was covered with cold sweat and had fallen to the ground was being ignored.
Seeing that Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang were about to leave the meeting room, how could Ling Gaoze, who had been looking forward to their rescue, let the two leave just like that? He anxiously stood up and raised his hand to stop Lu Feng. Young Hero, don't be angry. My second brother is also a little excited, don't take offense. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will also consider Young Hero's suggestion. Old Hua, bring the two Young Heroes over to rest. ”
”Hmph.” Looking at Ling Gaoze's brilliant smile, Sun Shengyang shot a glance at Ling Boyuan who was still in shock, coldly snorted in disdain, then followed Lu Feng out of the Meeting Room. Sun Shengyang's true body was a Archaeopterygium's divine beast, Mysterious Spirit Ape. How could Ling Boyuan, who was at the peak of Mystical Master, be able to resist the pressure that was rich in the primordial bloodline?
