Chapter 3 Owe me a life, how can you pay it back(1/2)
That night.
Dark clouds over Beiyue City
Under the cover of the sky, not a trace of moonlight could shine through, making it look dark and cold.
From the pavilion near the river in the north of the city, singing and laughter could be heard, and people kept shouting and cheering, and the noise became louder and louder.
A discerning person who is familiar with Beiyue City's power would know at a glance that the entire young and respectable generation of Beiyue City is gathered here.
Everyone came to celebrate Ling Ze’s joining the Xuanyun Sect next month.
All major families in Beiyue City sent their children to send congratulatory gifts to anyone who had the opportunity to meet him, hoping to establish a relationship with him.
In the center of the hall, a group of people were sitting around Ling Ze, showing flattering smiles, drinking with him and making love.
Among them, Sun Maocai, a descendant of the Sun family who always acted according to the prevailing situation, stood there and talked loudly.
"The Ling family is really prosperous in martial arts. In just one month, Prince Lingze has stepped from the Qi Refining Realm to the Alchemy Transformation Realm. How could he have broken through the most difficult level for a cultivator in such a short time without being a genius?"
On the other side, Ling Ze's cousin Ling Xun followed closely and echoed, "Of course, my brother also led the tribe to hunt the giant horned spirit tiger, so he must be a genius among geniuses."
"Oh my God, it's the strongest second-grade monster in Youwu Mountain, the Giant-Horned Spirit Tiger?!" Sun Maocai shook the wine in his hand out of shock.
Everyone present was shocked.
That was the legendary second-level monster, with strength comparable to the ninth level of the Alchemy Realm. It would be even more irresistible if it encountered the mountains and forests again.
How did Lingze rely on his strength during the Qi refining period to lead his tribe to successfully cross the border and hunt the giant-horned spirit tiger?
As Ling Xun said, Ling Ze not only made rapid breakthroughs in cultivation, but also had superb martial arts. The strategies he used were also the talents of heaven and man, and he will definitely become a great weapon in the future.
For a moment, all the eyes of the audience were turned to Ling Ze.
No matter how deep his thoughts were, he was still just a sixteen-year-old boy. When he was praised and admired by others, the corners of his mouth had already been raised, and he could not hide his pride.
Ling Ze said: "It's just good luck, not worth mentioning."
However, he knew in his heart that thanks to the battle between the giant horned spirit tiger and Ling Tian, he could reap the benefits.
But everyone present couldn't help but compliment him.
"Prince Ling is truly a talent sent from heaven. He is also so humble and polite. He is truly a model for the family."
"Prince Ling is young and promising. He will have a brilliant future when he joins the Xuanyun Sect in the future. The Ling family may become the largest clan in Beiyue City and the entire Qingzhou Prefecture."
"The Ling family not only has many capable monks, but also has a great talent like Prince Ling, so why worry about a thousand-year plan."
In the eyes of ordinary people, those who can enter the Alchemy Realm are considered to be immortal figures who have reached the heavens in cultivation and are capable of overwhelming the world with their martial arts.
But what's even more enviable is...
Ling Ze was not over eighteen years old, and before his innate vitality was completely dissipated, he had already entered the first level of the Alchemy Realm.
Not only that, next month he will enter the Xuanyun Sect and become a disciple. That is the real sect of cultivation and the world of gods.
The Ling family was originally a large family in Qingzhou, and now more members of the family have joined the Immortal Sect. Their status cannot be shaken within a hundred years.
If Ling Ze takes a step further and can stand out in Xuanyun Sect, it will be an even stronger supporter for the Ling family.
These upper-class people in Qingbei Yuecheng all know the stakes, so naturally they can fawn over Ling Ze and want to lick the soles of his shoes.
Just when a group of people were trying to impress Ling Ze with their tricks, a huge round of applause suddenly came from outside the door.
The originally high-spirited atmosphere in the hall was suddenly attracted by the applause. Everyone fell silent at the same time and looked out the door.
I saw a young man standing in front of the door, scanning all the guests with a smile on his face.
"It's really lively. It seems I came at the right time."
Ling Ze's eyes widened as he sat in the upper seat, his face filled with disbelief when he saw the uninvited guest.
"How come it's you Ling Tian?!"
And this is Ling Tian who has returned from hell and been reborn.
Ling Tian stood with his hands behind his back, not taking a step into the front hall, but he was not timid under the gaze of everyone.
"Me? A person who comes to collect debts from the Ling family, how could I not come?"
Everyone present could see that Ling Tian's visitor was evil.
As the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Maocai knew Ling Tian very well.
And now, in order to show his loyalty to Ling Ze, he threw a glass of wine at Ling Tian.
"Ling Tian, didn't your father teach you to follow the rules when going to other people's territory?"
Ling Tian's expression suddenly darkened, his eyes shot coldly, staring coldly at Sun Maocai who poured wine on him.
"Of course my father taught me rules, so I came here to ask for them. But what he taught me was to pay back debts and kill people to pay for their lives. Now someone in the Ling family owes me a life, how should I repay the debt?"
Everyone in the audience found it a bit ridiculous when they saw Ling Tian uttering arrogant words and slandering the Ling family in public, so someone asked:
"The Ling family is a big family in Qingzhou, with a clean family tradition. Why did you say that you owe your life, but who do you identify as the person who owes you a life?"
Ling Tian walked an inch, as if the pressure between heaven and earth deepened, and he began to show his evil aura and asked:
"Lingze owes me his life, how do you think I should repay him?"
At this time, Ling Ze, who was sitting in the main seat, looked uncertain.
He simply couldn't believe that Ling Tian was still alive.
All the meridians were destroyed, all cultivation was lost, and his limbs were broken and thrown into a mass grave.
How did Ling Tian come back unscathed?
Could it be said that the Burning Heaven Holy Body saved his life again?
Some guests also began to murmur in their hearts. If they came to Ling Ze to repay their life debt, wouldn't they just ruin the place?
Ling Xun on the side snorted coldly.
A few days ago, I heard that Ling Tian was injured and was crippled. Today, he was even kicked out of the family. He is no longer part of the Ling family.
As for the head of the Ling family, the future protector can only be Ling Ze.
At this time, Ling Xun naturally wanted to stand up for Ling Ze.
His voice turned cold and his eyes widened angrily as he said, "Ling Tian, you have been kicked out of your home, but you have come to the wrong place!"
Then he waved his hand and asked the Ling family's followers in the hall to drive him out.
But as soon as those servants approached Ling Tian, they were shocked by the invisible energy and returned to their original seats.
Ling Tian dusted his clothes, as if the Ling family was some kind of dirty thing, ashes fell on his clothes.
If it feels dirty, it must be dusted off.
"The Ling family's hospitality is really rude. Ling Ze, please tell me how to settle the score between us!"
Ling Tian pointed with one hand and his voice was somewhat determined.
"Think about it, how are you going to die today?"
Ling Ze was already furious when someone provoked him in public, and his hypocritical face that was originally disguised instantly turned into a ferocious one.
"I think you are looking for death. Ling Xiong's miserable life is worthy of my young master? I don't know what to do if I let you go. I think you are still like him and deserve to be crushed by me!"
"Come here, chop up this trash that insults my Ling family and feed it to the dogs!"
In an instant, he rang the bell to summon the hidden guards of Ling Mansion.
They are all masters of nursing who were trained by the second elder. They are all in the middle stage of Qi refining and only work hard for Ling Ze.
This kind of large-scale training of outer sect guards is rare in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture except for the Ling family, which has a profound background.
Ling Ze did not believe that Ling Tian could regain his former strength.
When he is outnumbered, he will be killed on the spot.
While everyone was waiting for the Ling family's guards to appear, no one came in or even made any movement outside the house.
Ling Ze panicked and became angry, shouting loudly, "Ling Mo, are you dead? Where are you?"
Ling Mo, the chief of the Ling family's secret guard, did not respond.
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Ling Tian smiled brightly and said loudly:
"Are they those 12 dogs hiding in the dark around you?"
"I thought they wanted to bite me, so I killed them all."
Ling Ze's face tightened, and he couldn't believe what he said.
But only he knows the secret that the Ling family has 12 guards.
How did Ling Tian know that? Or did he really kill everyone!
Ling Ze, who was sitting in the seat, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He realized something was wrong when Ling Mo didn't show up.
Instantly standing up, Ling Ze used his right hand to use his true energy palm and hit him with a fierce palm.
There was a piercing sound in the air, a scream.
