Chapter 28: Return to the Ling Family
Just as Ling Tianyu's attack was about to land on Pu Zhiwei, a figure flashed out and countered with a palm. "Boom!" Ling Tianyu was shocked and retreated seven or eight steps before regaining his footing. The owner of this person was a middle-aged man. At this time, the middle-aged man loudly shouted: "Today I will see who dares to abolish my son's cultivation!"
Ling Tianyu had sealed away eighty percent of his strength with the "Soul Lock" and was shaken by the middle-aged man's palm, causing a surge in his body. Ling Tianyu secretly adjusted the true energy within himself. He then narrowed his eyes to look at the middle-aged man, who turned out to be an early-stage Innate expert. Ling Tianyu calmly said, "I suppose you are Pu Yunlong, the lord of Qingyun City?"
The middle-aged man snorted, "You're quite bold, you actually dared to injure my son and even want to abolish his cultivation. This is too audacious!" Pu Yunlong said this with his mouth, but in his heart he was hesitant: This young kid looks like he's only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet he can withstand one of my blows. He must have a remarkable background.
Ling Tianyu sneered, "Your son actually dares to rely on being the young city master, and even wants to take by force and plunder, and also wants to harm people. I'm just helping you educate your son!"
Pu Yunlong's face turned red with rage as he bellowed, "You little brat! I can teach my own son myself, do I need you to educate him? You're so arrogant, no matter where you came from, today I'll teach you a lesson!"
Ling Tianyu expressionlessly said, "Bring the horse over!" Ling Tianyu lightly shouted, "Suo Ling, release!" Instantly, a strong aura burst forth from Ling Tianyu's body, and the ordinary people around him were so intimidated by this powerful aura that their legs trembled with fear.
Pu Yunlong's face turned solemn: This kid actually hid his strength, it seems it won't be easy to deal with him. At this time, the aura emanating from Ling Tianyu's body surprisingly made a First Heaven Early-stage expert like him feel pressure. Immediately, Pu Yunlong thought to himself: How is that possible? He must have used some strange technique for an hour, and such aura is just an illusion. Pu Yunlong comforted himself with this thought, picked up his treasured sword, and attacked.
Ling Tianyu suddenly took out his "Broken Flame" and directly used the second-order gun intent, carrying a strong momentum to attack Pu Yunlong. The two men's first confrontation, Pu Yunlong was directly shocked back several steps, before he could even react, Ling Tianyu launched another wave of attacks, his blows as fierce as a raging storm, directly beating Pu Yunlong into a continuous retreat, leaving him powerless to counterattack!
Pu Yunlong was shocked in his heart: "Not good! Why is this kid so strong! It seems that today is really a bad day!" But now he didn't have the mood to think about that, what Pu Yunlong needed to do now was how to block Ling Tianyu's attack.
Ling Tianyu's attacks were relentless, each one carrying immense power and strong penetration. Directly hitting Pu Yunlong made him cry out in his heart. Ling Tianyu was now barely able to defeat a mid-stage Heaven's Chosen expert. A single mid-stage Heaven's Chosen expert could almost take down around ten ordinary early-stage Heaven's Chosen, so it was clear that the gap between Pu Yunlong and Ling Tianyu was not small at all.
Ling Tianyu's eyes changed. "Tian Yan Break" gun head towards Pu Yunlong attacked, Pu Yunlong in his heart cried out bad! Hurriedly made a defensive move. "Boom" sound, Pu Yunlong was shaken and retreated continuously. "Wow" a mouthful of blood spat out. Pu Yunlong at this moment appeared a brief dizziness in his mind. At this moment, Pu Zhiwei had long been intimidated by Ling Tianyu's overbearing manner, he saw that his father seemed to have lost consciousness and hurriedly shouted: "Dad! Dad! Quickly defend!"
Hearing his son's cry for help, Pu Yunlong was startled and quickly lifted his head. At this time, Ling Tianyu had already appeared in front of Pu Yunlong!
"Awesome!"
Two guns shot out like flowing clouds and water, just like a flash of lightning. "Bang bang" Pu Yunlong was directly knocked to the ground, losing his fighting strength. Ling Tianyu put away "Broken Flame" into the Qiankun bag, used Lock Soul, and his aura dropped back down to the harmless realm of that person.
Ling Tianyu looked at the two father and son lying on the ground and said, "How about it, dare you bully people with your power?" Pu Yunlong and Pu Zhiwei looked at Ling Tianyu in horror.
Pu Yunlong trembled with rage and said, "You little brat, you're dead for sure! Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Ling family, one of the five major powers. My position as city lord was also assigned to me by the Ling family. You actually dare to injure me? If you've offended the Ling family, then prepare to wait for their pursuit and punishment!"
At this time, a group of people walked over, and the middle-aged man in front gave off an aura of endless majesty. This person was precisely Ling Feng. Pu Yunlong took one look and exclaimed in surprise: "Ling family master, is it really you? You must uphold justice for me! Your little kid has taken advantage of his superior strength to injure both me and my son!"
At this time, Ling Feng didn't even glance at Pu Yunlong, and instead looked directly at Ling Tianyu. Pu Yunlong saw Ling Feng looking at Ling Tianyu and thought to himself with excitement: "Heh heh, kid, you're really done for this time!" But the next sentence made Pu Yunlong's jaw almost drop!
Ling Tianyu respectfully shouted: "Father!" Ling Feng nodded and asked: "Tianyu, what's going on at this time? Tell your father about it!"
Ling Tianyu briefly explained the situation. Ling Feng was furious, saying: "Is this reasonable? Pu Yunlong, I let you come to Qingyun City in order to allow the people here to live a better life. Unexpectedly, you and your son are tyrannizing and oppressing the people?"
Pu Yunlong was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound. Just as Pu Yunlong was about to speak, Ling Feng directly pointed out two fingers, which landed on the bodies of Pu Yunlong and his son. The two let out a miserable cry and immediately fainted! Ling Feng then said to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone, these two have been deprived of their cultivation by me and can no longer bully others. It was my negligence that such villains appeared, I apologize to everyone here on behalf of the Ling family. When I return to the Ling family, I will send a new city master here, and I guarantee that there will be no such city master again!"
After hearing Ling Feng's words, the people around him were filled with admiration and respect. Ling Tianyu secretly sighed: "Father is indeed a successful leader, in many ways I must learn from Father!"
Ling Feng said to the Ling family, "Let's stay in Qingyun City for one night and continue on our journey early tomorrow morning." This incident was just a small unexpected event for Ling Tianyu, and it didn't affect his mood as he strolled around with Ling Tianxue. The two of them continued to walk around happily...
At night, Ling Tianyu took out the strange stone in his room and observed it. He felt that the stone was very soft when he held it. When he pressed it flat, the stone suddenly became very hard. With a slap of his palm, the stone didn't show any damage at all. If Ling Tianyu's palm had hit a one-thousand-kilogram heavy stone, it would have definitely shattered it, but this strange stone didn't react at all.
Ling Tianyu continued to play with the strange stone, but still couldn't figure out anything. Ling Tianyu put it back in his Qiankun bag and fell asleep.
The next morning, the Ling family continued on their way to the Ling residence. As they walked along the road, the common people couldn't help but discuss among themselves: "Look! That's the master of the Ling household! I heard that yesterday he abolished the cultivation of the city master and his son, what a wonderful thing!" Others also discussed: "You see, that's the young master of the Ling family. Don't be fooled by his appearance as a 13 or 14-year-old, in reality, he's only eight years old now! And yet, he defeated the city master who had reached the later stages of the boundary realm, truly remarkable for someone so young!"
"Yes indeed! Like father like son, in the future Young Master Tian Yu will definitely be an outstanding family master!" The surrounding villagers all nodded in agreement.
Ling Tianyu heard the praise and recognition from everyone, and with a shy expression, he walked forward with his head lowered. Ling Feng saw Ling Tianyu's bashful appearance at this moment, and with a smile on his face, he said to the Ling family group: "Everyone speed up, we're going home!" Upon hearing that they were going home, everyone's faces became extremely excited, and the group quickened their pace, surpassing Ling City.
Two days later, Ling City appeared before Ling Tianyu and his party. Looking around, the sky above Ling City was filled with dark fog at this time, blocking out the sunlight. At this moment, Ling City looked like a dead city, giving off a gloomy atmosphere. As they entered the city, they found that it was extremely quiet inside, with no one walking on the streets.
Ling Tianyu curiously asked, "Why is there not a single person on the street?" Ling Feng said, "I don't know, let's go back and ask what's going on!" Ling Tianyu responded with an "oh" and thought to himself, I should first go back and tell Tianyang and Tianxuan about my victory, they will definitely be excited for me. As soon as he thought of this, Ling Tianyu's heart became eager and excited, and he quickened his pace towards the Ling residence.
At the entrance of the Ling family, a crowd of people had gathered to welcome back the Ling family members. As they arrived at the gate, the Ling family servants all chimed in unison: "Young Master, welcome back." Ling Feng nodded slightly. Ling Feng asked the steward of the Ling family, Yu Guan Jia: "Guan Jia, where are my older brothers?" Yu Guan Jia replied: "Reporting to Young Master, they were summoned by the ancestors to cultivate in the back mountain and will return in two days."
Ling Feng finished listening and always felt that there was something not quite right. However, he said to everyone: "Everyone has been working hard on the way here, so let's each go back to our own rooms to rest!" Everyone simultaneously replied: "Yes, Master."
Everyone went back, and Ling Tianyu also felt that something was wrong. You feel that at this moment, the eyes of every servant in the Ling family are very dull, and when they speak, it gives people a mechanical feeling. But still thinking, forget it, tomorrow go to the back mountain with father to find Tian Xuan and others.
All of the above is just a warm-up, *the real thing is coming, are you ready?!
