Chapter 524: The Ling Family, Ling'e

(I've been editing so much these past two days I'm about to throw up; updates will be irregular, but I will try my best to keep to two chapters.)

(No update at midnight, big bosses, don't wait up.)

After the old man vanished.

The crowd looked at one another.

Thinking of that shocking explosion just now, and linking it to the old man's anger.

A bold guess appeared in everyone's mind simultaneously.

That explosion just now...

It couldn't have blown Wan Tianlei to death, could it!

If that were truly the case, it could be considered ridding Cang City of a scourge.

Only...

Who was so brave as to dare kill a direct descendant of the Wan Family in Cang City?

Although Wan Tianlei was wretched.

To kill him so brazenly within Cang City.

Such a stance.

It clearly showed they did not hold the Wan Family in their eyes.

The Wan Family is likely going to be unable to sit still.

First the anomaly in the Taicang Mountain Range, then the matters between the Wan Family and the Ling Family.

And now, an unknown Cultivator has gone and finished off a direct descendant of the Wan Family.

Truly, chaotic times are approaching.

Next.

There will be a spectacle to watch.

Unlike the crowd's spectator mentality.

At this moment.

That receptionist was already scared silly.

Wan Tianlei is dead!

Could it be...

Was it that Pill?

Wan Tianlei died inside Tianxiang Pavilion; won't this implicate Tianxiang Pavilion?

Just as the female receptionist was feeling somewhat distraught.

A figure suddenly flashed into view.

The person who arrived was an old man.

Following this old man's appearance.

This world seemed to be cleaved apart.

The terrifying aura made the chattering crowd instantly fall silent.

The next moment.

With a flash of Spirit Light, the old man and the female receptionist vanished simultaneously.

In a guest room.

The old man and the female receptionist flashed into existence.

The female receptionist wore a look of shock, looked at the old man, then paused, and the terror on her face vanished.

She hurriedly bowed to the old man, "Greetings, Tower Master."

The person who arrived was none other than the Tianxiang Tower Master, a Transformation Stage Cultivator.

Looking across all of Cang City, a Cultivator with this level of cultivation is not necessarily the strongest.

But there are not many whose cultivation is above theirs.

The reason Tianxiang Tower is able to rank among the top-tier forces in Cang City is precisely because of the existence of this Spirit Transformation Stage Tower Master.

"What happened?"

After the Tianxiang Tower Master appeared, they frowned and looked at the female receptionist.

The female receptionist dared not delay.

She recounted Wang Jianqiang's appearance, then Wan Tianlei's arrival.

As well as the series of events from Wan Tianlei arrogantly seizing Guest Room No. 1, to him picking up the Pill, and finally the sound of the explosion.

She told it all exactly as it happened.

She did not mix in any personal opinions during the process, merely describing it simply.

Hearing the female receptionist's account.

The Tianxiang Tower Master's expression was one of shock.

A Seventh-Order Will Stage Cultivator?

Cang City has no such level of prodigy.

They must be an outsider.

To be able to reach this Seventh-Order Will Stage, both talent and the backing of a force are indispensable.

The other party acted so domineeringly.

It clearly showed they did not hold the Wan Family in their eyes; their background must not be simple.

On one side is the Wan Family, and on the other is that mysterious genius.

Tianxiang Tower cannot afford to offend either side.

Thinking of this.

He looked at the female receptionist, "Wan Tianlei died inside my Tianxiang Tower; the Wan Family will certainly come to inquire."

"You only need to tell the truth."

The female receptionist nodded.

Then, hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Will the Wan Family vent their anger on Tianxiang Tower?"

The old man sneered, "Vent their anger?"

"The cause of this matter is entirely because that Wan Tianlei was arrogant and domineering, and ended up kicking an iron plate; what does it have to do with my Tianxiang Tower?"

"Although our Tianxiang Tower is not as powerful as the Wan Family, we have not yet fallen to the point of being easily kneaded by their Wan Family."

Having said this, he looked at the anxious-looking female receptionist, "Rest assured, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you will not be implicated."

Hearing the words of the Tower Master, the female receptionist let out a long sigh of relief.

Recalling that figure who remained as immovable as a mountain, with a calm expression throughout.

A look of admiration could not help but appear on her face.

A Seventh-Order Will Stage prodigy!

Looking across this world, they are considered a Top-tier Prodigy.

To think that in her lifetime, she could actually see one!

It is just a pity.

In the end, they are only a passerby.

……

The Ling Family Clan Head is a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.

Besides this.

There are also three Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators in the family.

Such strength.

Can be ranked in the upper-middle tier in Cang City.

In daily life.

The days were considered carefree.

However.

Following the Wan Family's marriage proposal being rejected.

Although the Wan Family only showed slight hostility and had not yet truly taken action.

Many forces wanting to cling to the Wan Family had long since sniffed out the Wan Family's intentions.

They took the initiative to ostracize the Ling Family.

Causing the Ling Family's businesses within this Cang City to constantly shrink.

Days became increasingly difficult.

If it were only this, it would be fine.

The Ling Family still had some savings, and by tightening their belts, they could still get by.

But as the Wan Family's attention shifted back from the Taicang Mountain Range.

News spread that the Wan Family intended to take action against the Ling Family.

Those families attempting to cling to the Wan Family.

Jumped out like vicious dogs that had smelled blood.

The older generation was still somewhat restrained.

But among the younger generation, there were frequent conflicts.

Under the joint targeting of several major forces.

The Ling Family juniors were in great distress, and now almost no one dared to go out at will.

Because the Ling Family feared the Wan Family.

Regarding this matter, they had always maintained an attitude of enduring what could be endured.

However.

The Ling Family's forbearance not only failed to bring about the calming of the disputes.

Instead, it made those few forces wanting to cling to the Wan Family think the Ling Family was afraid of them, and they became increasingly unscrupulous.

"Preposterous!"

"In the past, it was one thing for those few major forces to bully our Ling Family juniors."

"Now they won't even let go of my Ling Family Elder!"

"This is simply going too far!"

The Ling Family.

In a conference hall.

An old man slapped the table with one palm.

He spoke in anger.

Hearing the old man's roar.

The Ling Family Clan Head, Ling Zhenshan, who was sitting in the main seat, sighed.

"Third Elder, sit down first."

Hearing the words of Ling Zhenshan, the old man frowned, "Clan Head, are we really just going to keep enduring like this?"

"This is too stifling."

Ling Zhenshan shook his head and sighed, "There is no other way; if those few major powers united, our Ling Family could perhaps not fear them, but what about the Wan Family?"

Hearing the words of Ling Zhenshan, the anger on the old man's face stalled, and he sat down dejectedly.

Ling Zhenshan looked at the old man, "The Wan Family is powerful and we cannot afford to provoke them; as for the current plan, we can only wait for Ling Xiaoe to break through."

"Wait for Ling Xiaoe to break through?"

The old man gave a bitter smile, "I am afraid the Wan Family will not give us that time."

Ling Zhenshan shook his head, "Even if my Ling Family is truly destroyed, as long as Ling Xiaoe is still alive, one day, we will eventually rise again."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at a woman of stunning beauty and sighed, "Ling Xiaoe, you should return to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to cultivate properly; you should not have remained in the family to get involved in this matter."
