There wasn’t a single unattractive man from the Ling Family. Ling Feng had thick, sharp brows and almond-shaped eyes. Standing at a height of 185 centimeters, he had a slender figure. Both of his arms were slender and strong, and his fingernails were trimmed perfectly. He looked like an unsheathed sword!

Wielding a sword in his hand, he had an aura that overwhelmed the past Ling Yun when he first met Dugu Mo at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight.

“Fourth Brother, do you like using swords?” Once Ling Feng obtained the sword, Ling Yun realized that his aura changed completely.

Ling Feng laughed proudly. “My goal is to be a Sword God…”

“Great!” Ling Yun laughed heartily. He finally found a successor for his swordsmanship skills. Ling Yun knew both the Formless Swords Technique and the Ninth Killing Technique. He definitely had plenty of skills to teach Ling Feng.

“Use your strongest skill. Let’s see what you’re capable of!” Ling Yun said plainly.

Ling Feng nodded. Then, he began utilizing his spiritual energy. Without sparing a second look at the ninja on the floor, he continued to muster his energy.

“Whoosh!”

Ling Feng flickered his wrist. With one motion, the tip of his blade pierced forth like a poisonous snake. His target was the ninja’s throat. The glint of his sword flickered forth. In an instant, he reached his target.

A small red dot bloomed before fresh blood began flowing out. That ninja had breathed his last.

Seeing this, Ling Yun nodded silently. He was very satisfied. That was because Ling Feng didn’t try to look cool or show off. Without using any techniques or showy swordsmanship, he understood how to use his blade.

He was definitely someone with great potential!

When Ling Feng attacked, he didn’t show-off at all. However, once he took away a life with his blade, he started to flex his stance and posture. The tip of his blade pointed diagonally at the ground, as though it was an extension of his arm. It created a perfect 60-degree angle with his body. His lips curled beautifully as he said proudly, “What do you think?”

Rolling his eyes, Ling Yun mocked him, saying, “You’re far too slow. Were you using chopsticks to poke at a bun…”

“Ugh…” Ling Feng was thoroughly stunned. He lost all his energy like a deflated ball. He was thoroughly struck down by Ling Yun.

However, Ling Feng was already 20 years old. He had just shown off his skills and was far less hesitant than Ling Li.

He was heavily invested in the way of the sword. Practicing his swordsmanship was purely for the sake of taking lives. He was far too stubborn about one thing. Naturally, he treated everything else lightly.

“Watch me…”

Ling Yong refused to fall behind. In an instant, he killed three people. This guy was decisive and brutal. When he made his move, he was vicious and fast. While it looked reckless, his moves were, in fact, exquisite and calculated.

Thus, amongst the three, he performed the best. When it came to killing the enemy, he never slipped up. He didn’t even blink when he made a move. There was no way he would draw back once he made his move.

Ling Yun shook his head. With a flash of his body, he moved forward and extended his index and middle finger, clasping Ling Yong’s fourth blade.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Yong was getting excited. He didn’t understand what was going on, so he asked Ling Yun in confusion.

Ling Yun replied plainly, “Second Brother, killing two people at once to release your hate is enough. No matter what, they’re still considered helpless in the face of our blade. They’re people who are powerless before us. We can leave the rest to them.”

With that, Ling Yun turned around to look at the Ling Family’s men of sacrifice. Each of them blazed with rage and fury, thirsting for revenge. They couldn’t wait any longer.

Nearly 70 lives from their forces were lost. They were brothers who lived and died together. However, each of them fell to the blades of the Japanese ninjas, turning into ghouls. Who wouldn’t want to take revenge for their closest brethren?

“Kill them all! Not a single one is to live!”

Ling Yun dictated these orders coldly. At the same time, he took his three brothers and moved back. He left those Japanese ninjas to the 36 men of sacrifice behind him.

“Go! Destroy them!”

The Ling Family’s men of sacrifice hollered angrily. An entire crowd charged forward. Lifting the blades in their hands, a series of sounds ensued. All the Japanese ninjas soon turned into a pile of flesh!

Even the seven people who were first killed by Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were the same. A pile of flesh stacked up. There was no way one could distinguish the people anymore.

Ling Yun moved forward and scattered a handful of Corpse Powder on the bodies. Then, he said to the men of sacrifice, “Once their bodies turn into a puddle of yellowed water, flush it down the sewer. Understood?”

“Yes!”

Ling Yun’s power, charisma, and ruthlessness were carved deeply into the hearts of the Ling Family’s 36 men of sacrifice. In their eyes, Ling Yun was the grim reaper!

“Let’s go. The three of you better return to take a bath. I’m off to see Grandpa now…”

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were stained with blood. The stench of blood pierced their noses as dried blood stuck to their bodies. Without any extra words, they turned and left.

Ling Yun also turned to leave. He went to the central courtyard and called for four people from the Blood Clan. He scanned each of them carefully.

Pierce, Joyce, Chester, Paul…

Half the day passed in a flash. Chester and Paul’s injuries had recovered fully, including Paul’s wings. It was as if they had never gotten injured.

They had purple eyes and had become First Generation Blood Kings. As long as they didn’t suffer any life-threatening injuries, such as getting their heads cut off, their hearts destroyed, or their spines severed, they would be fine. Regular injuries meant nothing to them.

Ling Yun remained silent for a while before he finally said something. He said, “This is the Ling Family, my family. From now on, whether I’m here or not and with or without my orders, the four of you are to do everything in your power to protect the Ling Family and their assets. Understood?”

The four members of the Blood Clan nodded simultaneously. They said this respectfully, “We understand, esteemed master.”

Ling Yun nodded. “I believe you guys already know who my grandfather is. From now on, his orders are equivalent to mine. All of you have to follow him unconditionally. Understand?”

The four members of the Blood Clan responded obediently.

“Good. Now, the four of you should withdraw your wings and find a dark place to hide yourselves. Make sure to patrol the area. Don’t let yourselves be spotted by the Ling Family.”

The four members of the Blood Clan had transformed, so the clothes they wore were in complete tatters. If they transformed back into their human forms, it would definitely be unsightly. Thus, Ling Yun told them to hide themselves properly.

Otherwise, with so many people in the courtyard, why would Ling Yun have Ling Xiu of all people remain in the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation? One reason was that he wanted Ling Xiu to obtain the benefits from cultivation. Secondly, the massacre was far too gory. Ling Yun didn’t want Ling Xiu to see that. Lastly, it was because these four people were in their transformed forms as the Blood Clan. Ling Xiu wasn’t suited for this at all.

The four members of the Blood Clan bowed to Ling Yun. Then, each of them left in different directions. Turning around, Ling Yun used the water hose to rinse off the yellowed water from the Ling Family’s men of sacrifice. He shot a mysterious smile toward them before he headed toward the ninth courtyard.

With the power of his divine sense, he already knew that Ling Lie stayed in the Ling Family’s ninth courtyard. Similarly, that courtyard was large. It was literally a courtyard within a courtyard. Normally, Ling Lie lived in the innermost courtyard.

Ling Yun finally had the leisure to admire the Ling Family’s residence. He nodded continuously and muttered, “My Ling Family’s courtyard isn’t small at all compared to the Chen Family’s…”

However, this ninth courtyard was even bigger than the Chen Family’s place in the Southwest Mansion District. One could imagine how strong the Ling Family was back in the day.

“Fifth Brother, I’ll kill you!”

The moment Ling Yun stepped into the seventh courtyard, Ling Xiu, who was cultivating cross-legged inside the Spirit Gathering Formation, jumped up. Her beautiful eyes opened wide as her body twisted and launched toward Ling Yun.

“Partially-inducted Xiantian expert!” Ling Yun’s divine sense activated for a moment before he saw through Ling Xiu’s current abilities. He couldn’t help but fall into confusion. His older sister’s physique was far too amazing. She wasn’t any weaker than his aunt, Qin Dongxue.

Seeing Ling Xiu’s beautiful figure slice through the air like a flash of lightning, Ling Yun couldn’t help but cheer in his heart. However, he didn’t dodge at all. He stabilized his body immediately.

“Big Sister, you have beautiful form…” Ling Yun smiled cheerfully. He didn’t have any intention of backing off.

“Hmph, brat. Did you really think that I wouldn’t hit you if you sucked up to me?”

Ling Xiu landed before Ling Yun lightly. They stood a foot apart. Ling Xiu’s beautiful hands clenched into fists and showered a series of attacks on Ling Yun. However, even though the sound was thunderous, the effect was as light as raindrops. It wasn’t even strong enough to scratch Ling Yun.

“Hehe, congratulations, Big Sister. You’re now merely a window away from reaching the Xiantian Realm…”

Ling Yun didn’t move a muscle, letting Ling Xiu hit him as much as she wanted. He treated it like a light massage.

“Tell me! Why did you lock me in that lousy formation? Frustrating!” After Ling Xiu was done with her attacks, she wasn’t satisfied. Extending her slender hands out, she gripped onto Ling Yun’s ears as she questioned him fiercely.

“Ah, it hurts…” Ling Yun exclaimed exaggeratedly. Why was his big sister exactly the same as his aunt? Both of them liked to pinch his ear.

Obviously, Ling Feng and Ling Li suffered under her hands on a daily basis.

Ling Xiu let out a cute laugh as she let go. However, she couldn’t help but rub Ling Yun’s earlobe, which left him feeling itchy. She asked gently, “Does it really hurt?”

Of course it didn’t. However, Ling Yun chuckled and said, “Big Sister, I think what’s more important is that you return to your room and take a bath. Wash the blood off your body…”

“Ah!” Ling Xiu gasped in shock. Jumping back, her voice trailed from a distance. “Brat, don’t go anywhere tonight. Once I return, just wait and see how I’ll take care of you!”

“Don’t worry…”

Ling Yun definitely wouldn’t leave tonight. The Ling Family still had three people locked in their dungeon. There were still many matters he had to attend to.

Soon, Ling Yun arrived at Ling Family’s ninth courtyard. Without stopping, he headed straight for Ling Lie’s room.

“Yun Er’s here? Hurry in!”

Once he stepped into the courtyard, Ling Yun heard Ling Lie’s warm greeting. He responded immediately and flew into the room.

Inside were only Ling Lie and Cui Lao.
