At the beginning, a huge thunderstorm broke the silence of the night, and the purple lightning flashes were continuous, as if they were splitting the sky. But even with such movement, everyone only thought it was due to the changeable weather in summer. No one immediately thought of Ling Yao.
Why? Because this is the southeastern boundary, besides Ling Linhan and the old antiques hidden in various families, who can force Ling Yao to use all his strength?
What's more, even if someone really has this strength, he probably won't be able to think about it and run out to challenge a Puxiang Realm genius who has the Changling Sword Sect at his back.
But soon, an unusual glow appeared outside the thunder light - red, large tracts of red, hot and bright red suddenly lit up from the white pine forest on the outskirts, and quickly jumped up to the treetops, covering the entire pine forest. The light shined brightly, and directed the billowing black smoke and the tangy burnt smell to the living area of the main house.
Those practitioners who were familiar with spiritual power, of course, quickly felt the spiritual power fluctuations caused by the battle, and guessed that this was a battle related to the eldest young master of the Ling family. But the upper limit of this battle has far exceeded the range of perception of most of them, so they dare not rush forward rashly. They can only hide in the dark and watch the development of the battle from a distance.
As for the few other masters who are at the peak of Dongxu or Puxiang realm, they will not rashly intervene in battles of the same class, lest they cause trouble for themselves.
But those ordinary people are different.
Yes, although the characters appearing in the story are all cultivators, it is undeniable that the largest group of people in the world of Mang Sheng are still ordinary people who cannot even feel spiritual power. And unlike practitioners who are almost completely out of work, these ordinary people are the real labor force that truly maintains the survival and development of their families.
Therefore, in the territory of the Ling family, there are not a few ordinary people; and the vast majority of those who come out to watch this "fun" are also ordinary people.
They can intuitively sense that the changes in the suburbs are existences in a world completely different from theirs, an area that they cannot contact or even approach. This makes them afraid to act rashly.
But this intuitive fear does not prevent them from being curious about what is happening. Therefore, not long after, someone finally couldn't hold himself back and ran out of the house. They gathered together in twos and threes and started talking in whispers.
Even if the information they can obtain now is only thunderstorms and burning white pine forests, they still have enough enthusiasm to make random guesses about what is happening in the suburbs right now and what its cause is.
And soon, new things appeared for them to talk about.
Phew——!
With a deafening phoenix cry, a cluster of beautiful orange-red flames suddenly rose in the white pine forest, and quickly transformed into the form of a phoenix, hovering in the night sky.
Although the origin and purpose of this "Phoenix" are unclear, at least at this moment, it is mysterious and full of power, which makes people dazzled.
"Phoenix... it's a phoenix! The phoenix has appeared!!"
"Oh my god, I can still see such auspiciousness with my own eyes in my lifetime!"
At the same time, Yin Ruobing, who was guarding the door of Ling Linhan courtyard, also looked up at the sky, but soon she nervously turned her gaze to the inside of the courtyard.
There was no movement.
She breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Although according to the agreement between her and "Ling Feiyu", she had previously given Ling Linhan a rare meditation treasure in Zixian Pavilion - Tang Mingxiang in the name of transaction. This not only allows Zixian Pavilion to gain Ling Linhan's favor, but also allows Ling Linhan to practice in seclusion before the battle of the "five-year agreement", thus missing the battle between Ling Yao and "Ling Feiyu" , you will only get the news that "Ling Feiyu was killed by Ling Yao for no reason" afterwards.
However, too many "miracles" happened to Ling Linhan. Even with Mao Mingxiang, she couldn't beat her chest and say that Ling Linhan would not suddenly break out and intervene in Ling Yao's battle.
If Ling Linhan discovers that this battle was started by "Ling Feiyu" and attempts to throw dirt on Ling Yao's head by "seeking death" and "losing both sides"... then it will all be over.
However, on the other hand, as long as Ling Linhan didn't show up now and didn't witness with his own eyes what happened. After "Ling Feiyu" was "dead", no matter how many mouths Ling Yao had, he still couldn't explain everything tonight.
Because once the Phoenix appears and "Ling Feiyu" dies, now everyone in the Ling family will be "witnesses" to Ling Yao's "murder".
——"People will not doubt the innocence of 'Phoenix', nor the innocence of 'Dead Man'."
Ling Feiyu said this to her at that time,
——"As long as people identify a person as a sinner, no matter what misfortune happens to him next, it will be 'deserved'. As for who made him misfortune, and whether he deserves this misfortune Of… who cares?”
——"If you want to create a 'hero', of course you must first create a 'villain' who opposes him. Ling Yao is the best candidate to become a 'villain' now. If you feel that doing so will make you full of guilt ...Then you have to be careful, because on this path you choose, there will only be more and more victims like this. What's more, in this plan, we have to rely on the inner demon to spread rumors and emotions for us. Yeah. This is an act of 'betraying' the great world of Mang Sheng. You have no way out, Ice Spirit Immortal."
"Huh... okay. For Zixian Pavilion, this little bit of guilt is nothing."
Yin Ruobing said softly, clenched her fists, and looked up at the flying phoenix again.
"Absolutely...cannot fail."
"Bingling Fairy!! How is Brother Han doing now!!"
Yin Ruobing came to her senses. Not far away, Ling Yuandong, Ling Yunpeng and the woman in brown clothes who had taken the minutes of the meeting - Zhao Tingting, had hurried over, their faces full of anxiety.
These people... don't know about his and Ling Feiyu's plans, so they have to deal with them carefully. Yin Ruobing straightened her expression, and it still seemed to be her usual gentle and slightly sad expression:
"Linhan... is still in seclusion. Although the battle over there shouldn't affect him, I can't disturb him at such a critical moment..."
This was said euphemistically, but the meaning is obvious - your boss is in retreat, so please postpone anything you have to say.
"Ah?! Are you going into seclusion at this time?! The 'Phoenix' who fought with Ling Yao should be Ling Feiyu. Who else besides Brother Han can... Oh! No! After all, we are one of our own, I still have to go Take a look!"
Ling Yuandong probably had never heard of Ling Linhan's "glorious deeds" of going into seclusion before a game five years ago to slap him in the face and pretend to be cool. When he heard the news about Ling Linhan's retreat, he couldn't help but be shocked.
But Ling Yunpeng rolled his eyes at this moment, but stretched out his hand to stop the other party:
"Although I don't know how Feiyu suddenly rose to the same level as Lingyao, the fight at this level is no longer something you and I can intervene in. Now that you go there, not only will you give away your life in vain, but you may also implicate Feiyu Make mistakes.”
Yin Ruobing couldn't help but look up at Ling Yunpeng. Compared to Lian Bofeng, who has brains but can't hide his emotions, Lian Yunpeng's palace is obviously deeper and his thoughts are more gloomy.
On the surface, this person is very friendly to the people around him, but secretly he is no less scheming and oppressive. He has never been merciful to those who might take away his achievements, power and status - otherwise, he would not have been so decisive in killing Ling Bofeng in the battle between inner demons.
Although his action of taking the opportunity to kill Lian Bofeng was well hidden, even Ling Linhan was not aware of it. But the success of his plan was due to the opportunities created by "Ling Feiyu" for him, so his methods were naturally invisible in the eyes of "Ling Feiyu" and Yin Ruobing.
But this does not prevent Yin Ruobing from being wary of this person... and taking advantage of him. Just like now, in order to eliminate Ling Feiyu who may also be an obstacle as much as possible, he is using various methods to prevent Ling Yuandong from rescuing Ling Feiyu - this is exactly what Yin Ruobing meant.
Now, it would be safest for Ling Yao to let "Ling Feiyu" "handle" it alone.
Ling Yuandong's brain circuit is indeed simple. After hearing Ling Yunpeng's words, he immediately stopped his reckless thoughts:
"Then, then we can't disturb Brother Han's retreat...ah! What should we do then!"
"Just stay here. Ling Yao has taken action against Ling Feiyu, and the master's side may also take action against Brother Han. It would be good to have a few more people here to take precautions."
Ling Yunpeng glanced at Ling Yuandong,
"I'll go to other places to see what other people's opinions are like. Since it was Ling Yao who asked Ling Feiyu to go out and plot against him, there will definitely be some traces left. We have to find the evidence before they erase it. come out."
Zhao Tingting, who was standing aside, kept her eyes lowered, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. After listening to Ling Yunpeng's words, she raised her head slightly with an inexplicable look in her eyes. But that emotion only flickered in her eyes. Soon, she drooped her eyelids again and responded casually:
"Then I'm going back. There are other people coming from Hengnan. I have to watch them and don't make any mistakes again at this time."
Yin Ruobing nodded slightly:
"Little friend Feiyu has the opportunity to compete with Ling Yao. Now we can only hope that little friend Feiyu... Ji Ren will have his own destiny."
In order to maximize the value of "Ling Feiyu's" death, the seeds of rumors have already been spread.
Boom——! !
"Didn't you say that the Phoenix has been extinct for thousands of years? How come it suddenly appears in the Ling family and is still fighting with others?"
"Have you heard of one thing? It's the kid named 'Ling Linhan' over there in Hengnan. He was accepted by Shenlong Academy because he had a trace of Phoenix blood in him!"
"Ah! Then this phoenix was brought here by Ling Feiyu?"
"Maybe this is not a phoenix, but Ling Feiyu's original appearance after awakening!"
"Oh my god! Then he is a noble member of our Ling family!"
"That's right! Isn't the phoenix an auspicious beast? Then aren't those who oppose it a treacherous and evil person...?"
"Hey, be careful what you say. Didn't you see that the lightning over there is thunder? In our Ling family, the only one who uses thunder is..."
"Ah...yes...but, even if he is the eldest young master of the Ling family, he can't..."
"Stop it, stop it. When gods fight, us little characters can just get by, but don't take it to heart!"
But as to whether these claims have been taken seriously by others, it is difficult to say.
The human heart is always the most unpredictable. And the unpredictable human heart is the 'battlefield' where inner demons can best manifest themselves.
Boom——!
"Ayao's side...what happened? Phoenix...Phoenix...this is not a good sign..."
Under the same thundercloud, in front of the hall of the main courtyard, Ling Weiran stood with his hands behind his hands, frowning and looking into the distance.
If only a phoenix appeared, it would be a good omen. But now, Ling Yao is obviously fighting over there. Coupled with the fact that Ling Feiyu has Phoenix bloodline is not a secret in the Ling family, Ling Weiran naturally connected the things.
With the auspicious beast Phoenix as an enemy, people's first reaction must be to blame the person who is the enemy of the Phoenix. No matter what Ling Yao is fighting for now and what the final result is, he has already fallen behind in public opinion.
He is now afraid that this is a conspiracy on the part of Heng Nan. This eye-catching battle between Ling Yao and Ling Feiyu was just the beginning.
"Anyway, you can't do anything to them. They will live whatever life they deserve. You are about to be buried, so don't worry about it."
Ling Weiran turned around when he heard the sound and saw Ling Xingran standing under the shadow of the tree, with a bit of surprise on his face:
"Xingran, when did you come? What do you mean?"
No wonder he was so surprised. Ling Xingran's cultivation had been in the cyclone realm for a long time, but as a person in the Pure Phase Realm, he was not even aware of its arrival, so he was naturally surprised.
Moreover, in his memory, since Ling Yao entered Changling Jianmen and studied under Qiu Tianming, Ling Xingran no longer had the slightest interest in the affairs of the Ling family, and even started to ignore his own son. Today, Ling Xingran suddenly came to visit, with such an attitude and tone. Although it was not unpleasant, Ling Weiran did have some strange emotions in his heart.
"It's not important. I just came to see you for the last time, nothing else. After all, it's a brotherhood."
Ling Xingran waved his hand and inadvertently dropped another "bombshell".
As expected, Ling Weiran was blown to pieces:
"The last time? Where are you going? Why is it so sudden? Does Ayao know?"
"Sigh... So I say, people who are about to be buried should not be so surprised. There are only a few days left, so don't think about what is there and what is not. I do want to leave, but you can do it on your own... No more talking."
Ling Xingran still looked indifferent.
"As for Ling Yao? I haven't told him yet. But he will know it soon. Anyway, I am no longer needed here... But before I leave, I have one more thing to do. Give this boy everything to me Cause trouble.
"He is too strong... I originally hoped that this action would cause him some trouble and weaken his strength, but now it seems... Alas! I didn't plan to take action personally. Well, after I leave, you will If you don’t remember me, I won’t tell you more.”
Ling Xingran's attitude towards Ling Yao in these words was actually far different from Ling Weiran's imagination. Ling Weiran frowned and was about to step forward to ask for details. However, he heard the wind suddenly pass by and the shadows of the trees swayed. The man under the tree had long disappeared.
——As if everything just now was just his imagination.
Boom——! Boom! ! !
The reality in front of me was only the bursts of thunder.
