Chapter 16 Force the palace!
Something big is going to happen!
Seeing Ling Bo, Ling Xiang, the two clan elders who had not been out for a long time, actually walked together with Du Jiaolan. All the Ling family members felt nervous and realized that something was going to happen.
After Du Jiaolan discovered the mystery of Yaoshan Mining Cave, he has been enduring and is waiting for today!
She had to wait for the Ling family to gather and carry out her plan to force the ward in front of the Ling family's young and old!
Ling Chengye suddenly felt a chill in his spine.
Ling Xiang and Ling Bo are both warriors of the older generation of the Ling family. They made outstanding contributions to the Ling family when they were young. Because of their serious injuries and paralysis, they both lived in seclusion over the years and never cared about the affairs of the clan.
The same is true. He gradually ignored the two of them, but he did not expect that before he knew it, they actually walked together with Du Jiaolan.
"No wonder the grandsons of the two clan elders have recently added spiritual weapons, and their cultivation has also improved one step. It seems that the two clan elders have secretly received benefits from others for their grandson's future." In the crowd, Ling Feng's low voice suddenly came from the crowd. In the lobby where it suddenly became quiet, the voice seemed very clear.
Ling Feng, who is upright in nature, said this moment undoubtedly relieved everyone's inner doubts.
The unkind eyes of Du Jiaolan and his son, they all glanced over at this time and gathered coldly on Ling Feng.
Ling Feng snorted.
"What do you care about? Stop interrupting!" Ling Ying next to him hurriedly exclaimed and pulled the corner of his clothes, so that he would not be the first to be a leader, so as not to be hated by the Du family.
"It's not that simple to remove the clan leader." Ling Kangan, one of the clan elders, has always supported Ling Chengye. He knew that he, the clan leader, had never had any selfish intentions for the family, so he made a loud statement: "Only when the clan leader makes a major mistake, puts the family in danger, or uses his power for personal gain, shames the family, and restrains the development of the family, the clan elders can remove the clan leader from his post after discussion."
He looked at the other two clan elders, his face turned cold, and he snorted: "The two brothers have been in poor health, it's nothing. Can't you even have a brain now? You really can't see the efforts Chengye has made for his family over the years?"
Ling Xiang and Ling Bo had a ghost in his heart and did not dare to look at him, so he couldn't help but lower his head.
"Then I really have to make it clear!" Du Jiaolan sneered and attracted everyone's attention.
She walked towards Ling Chengye in the crowd and stood face to face with Ling Chengye. Her aura was not weak at all. She shouted coldly: "The spiritual herbs on Yaoshan have always been the top priority of the Ling family. The Ling family paid the herbs grown to Xingyun Pavilion every year in exchange for the protection of Xingyun Pavilion. The uncle has always been responsible for the Yaoshan area, and this is arranged by the elder brother. However, now the spiritual herbs are withering, and Xingyun Pavilion has repeatedly urged them. The Ling family has dragged them several times but couldn't get them all together. Xingyun Pavilion has gradually lost patience..."
Many people in the Ling family were not aware of the matter about Yaoshan Lingcao. After listening to Du Jiaolan's explanation, their faces changed slightly.
The Ling family is a vassal force of Xingyun Pavilion. If they do not pay spiritual herb tribute for a long time, they will not only not be able to continue to receive protection from Xingyun Pavilion, but may also be punished by Xingyun Pavilion, causing huge trouble for the entire Ling family.
Du Jiaolan's words calmed down many people and began to consider the consequences.
"This is just one of them!"
When everyone began to doubt Ling Chengye's ability, Du Jiaolan spoke again, "Brother, I want to ask clearly what's going on in the mine cave in Yaoshan? Heng'er went in to see it a few nights ago. What's going on in Yaoshan?"
When Ling Chengye's face changed, she shouted coldly: "Now there are hundreds of stone paths inside Yaoshan! There are more and more mines there, which means that internal mining has never stopped! Humph! Over the years, my brother has really put a lot of manpower and material resources into the mine, but why haven't I seen an ore appear in our Ling family's warehouse?"
A stone caused a thousand waves, and her words shocked everyone in the Ling family even more.
"If there is nothing in Yaoshan, why are there so many deep stone paths? If ore is found, then where is the ore? Was it embezzled by the elder brother?" Du Jiaolan sneered, "It seems that the elder brother handed over the Yaoshan to the grandson of the Qin family, and arranged it early in the morning! Other tribe members of the Ling family are not allowed to enter. I believe everyone can figure out what you are trying to hide!"
"Chengye, it's about the inside of Yaoshan. Do you give me an explanation?" The clan elder Ling Xiang also raised his head at this time and cooperated with Du Jiaolan to question him. He also had some thoughts about the spirit stones inside Yaoshan, for fear that all of them would be embezzled by Ling Chengye.
The rest of the Ling family members were originally inclined to Ling Chengye, but at this time they were all confused and looked at him.
"I have only recently learned about the situation inside Yaoshan. There are indeed many stone roads. I am investigating recently and there is no result yet." As soon as this was said, it was acknowledging Du Jiaolan's statement. When everyone was upset, Ling Chengye continued: "I have never been in after I handed over the internal mines of Yaoshan to the Qin family for five years ago. I don't know the specific situation. Now I am very confused."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Lie deeply, and everyone looked at it, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything in Qin Lie.
"Who are you fooling?" Du Jiaolan said with a cold face. "If you don't participate, their grandfather and grandson can dig so many stone paths? The Ling family has only dug dozens of stone paths for more than ten years. In five years, their grandfather and grandson can double the number of stone paths? Moreover, Qin Shan passed away two years ago. Who do you think will believe you?"
Ling Chengye looked at everyone and found that the tribesmen shook their heads, obviously unable to accept it.
"If Qin Shan's cultivation reaches the Broken Realm, he does have the ability to achieve this. For the strong people in the Broken Realm, it will be easy to destroy Yaoshan." Ling Chengye said helplessly.
"Haha, what a big joke! Will the existence of the Broken Realm be hiding in our Ling family?" Du Jiaolan mocked him with all his might.
Others also shook their heads and expressed their disbelief.
"And I can't figure out the matter that you asked Xiaoshi and Qin Lie to engage in. Are you confused? Our Xiaoshi is innocent and beautiful like a flower. Who is not good to get engaged to? He is going to be with this fool?" Du Jiaolan took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Did you have any shameful acts with Qin Shan that you want to sacrifice Xiaoshi like this? He is a fool, what should he give to Xiaoshi? I'm really curious. What betrothal gift he has prepared! Uncle Fu, open the betrothal gift for us!"
Du Jiaolan looked at Ling Fu, who was responsible for receiving the gifts, with her eyes full of ridicule and mockery, and wanted to lose Ling Chengye's face.
This woman was ruthless and had been planning to seize the position of head of the family for a day or two. Today, she first explained that Lingcao incident to Ling Chengye was unfavorable and caused trouble for the Ling family. She also used the Yaoshan Mine Cave incident to hide the secret that Ling Chengye used his power to seek personal gain and embezzled the mineral materials.
Now, Ling Yushi and Qin Lie engagement are used to attack Ling Chengye for the purpose of not knowing his daughter's future and sacrificing Ling Yushi's lifelong happiness in order to achieve unknown goals.
She wanted to completely destroy Ling Chengye's image in the Ling family and make the members of the Ling family begin to feel dissatisfied with the head of the family, both rationally and psychologically.
"I just want to see what price you have sold Xiaoshi. Uncle Fu, why don't you open the betrothal gift for everyone?" Du Jiaolan snorted.
Ling Fu held the betrothal gift and looked embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
"Ling Fu!" The clan elder Ling Bo shouted and ordered with a stern face: "Open it for everyone to see! See if someone arranged this matter on purpose on purpose, so that everyone can have a clear understanding!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the betrothal gift. Ling Fu was defeated under the gaze of the Ling family's inquiry, and he helplessly opened the wooden box, revealing the gold, silver, and soft things in it.
"Yeah, it's all gold, silver and jewelry. In the eyes of mortal families, these things are worth two dollars, but for us warriors, they are not worth a penny!" Du Jiaolan ignored Ling Chengye's ugly face and glanced at the wooden box, and said, "I think everyone can see that these things must not be presented by Qin Lie. I believe everyone understands whether there is any hidden secret of this engagement..."
"Isn't there a cloth bag?" Ling Kangan looked at the cloth bag that was originally placed on the wooden box, and said with a glimmer of hope: "Open it, too."
"Ha, then open it all and see what good treasures there are. If that fool really can take out any good things as a betrothal gift, I have nothing to say!"
Du Jiaolan raised her head and was very satisfied with Ling Chengye's blue face. She felt refreshed, as if she had completely defeated Ling Chengye and would be able to take over the power of the Ling family immediately, so that the Ling family could be decided by her surname Du from then on.
Ling Chengye found that he was unable to resist Du Jiaolan's fierce offensive. Looking at the tribe members who used to trust him, his eyes were full of blame and doubt. He suddenly felt a little desperate. He racked his brains and could not find effective means to fight back.
Ling Yushi bit her lower lip tightly, looked at her father's desperate and distorted face, looked at everyone's suspicion of him, looked at the ridicule and pride of Du Jiaolan and others... Her heart gradually sank into the bottom of the valley.
She held Qin Lie's hand and couldn't help but exert force more and more force. She didn't even know that her fingernails penetrated Qin Lie's palm.
At this moment, Ling Fu was forced to do so. In front of everyone, he untied the string at the entrance of the cloth bag, took out the first stone, and said dejectedly: "It's just some jade..."
He took out a crystal clear prism stone. The stone was green and dark, emitting a faint light. A fresh wave of spiritual energy obviously rippled out of the stone.
"Spirit Stone! At least the sixth-grade spirit stone of ordinary level!" Suddenly, someone suddenly burst into tears.
"Ah! How is it possible? I'm not mistaken? How could it be a sixth-grade spirit stone in the ordinary level? Oh my God!" someone screamed again.
Du Jiaolan and others' expressions changed slightly, "It turned out to be a sixth-grade spirit stone in the ordinary level. The head of the family is really a big deal. If you want to take out all your old friends when you arrange such a ceremony?" she said coldly.
Ling Chengye looked surprised. He knew his embarrassment. Most of the spirit stones in the Ling family were obtained from Xingyun Pavilion through the spiritual herbs that were extra on the Medicine Mountain. Almost all of them were below the third level of the mortal level.
All along, those spirit stones were provided for Ling Xuanxuan to practice. Because there were too few, it was barely enough to maintain Ling Xuanxuan alone, so even the head of the family was reluctant to use it for practice.
If he had a sixth-level spirit stone in his hand, he would have handed it over to the Xingyun Pavilion long ago to solve the recent troubles. How could he wait until now?
Ling Yushi's dark eyes suddenly lit up slightly at this moment, and her face turned a little brighter, and she looked at Ling Fu's hand without moving.
Look at the sixth-level spirit stone in the mortal level!
"What else?"
"What else? Keep getting it!"
"Uncle Fu, continue?"
Many men in the Ling family couldn't help but urged loudly, very curious about what else was inside the bag.
Ling Fu then continued to dig out...
"Another 6th-grade spirit stone of the mortal level! Hey, another one! Three!"
"Ah! Return to Yuan Dan! About ten Return to Yuan Dan!"
"Hundred meridians! I'm not mistaken? It's actually a five-level mortal level phenomenon! It's a pill that can temper tendons and veins in the Body Refining Realm and Kaiyuan Realm. That thing is only available in Xingyun Pavilion and Broken Ice Mansion! A hundred meridians pill is comparable to eight mortal level 6 spirit stones!"
"God! How could there be a hundred meridian pill inside?"
"That's it, what is that? Sea Pi Pill! The Sea Pi Pill at the sixth level of the mortal level! It is the Sea Pi Pill that opens up the spiritual sea! During the Body Refining Realm, if there is a Sea Pi Pill in hand, it will greatly increase the possibility of a successful breakthrough!"
"This is all a betrothal gift for my daughter. Qin Lie, not to mention being just a fool, even if he is a dead person, I will force my daughter to marry!"
