Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 26 - Ling Yan Tells the Story of the Fall of the Ling Clan
Luo Zheng nodded with emotion in his eyes. They would verify the results of the attacks from the scheme with the demonic beasts and weaken the Zhang Clan.
Could it be that he would get one of those five beautiful women first before Lin Meng? Luo Zheng felt his heart beating fast. After all, she did not care because those beautiful women would all end up being hers.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
"Dad, is there any news about that person?" Luo Zheng asked in a displeased tone as he recalled what his father had said a few days ago.
Luo Xian knew who his son meant and he replied "Still not yet... As of now, there has been no news of him. Not even the City Lord knew of its existence ... Hahh.., I hope he has left and never came to our Tianyun City. He will be our only barrier to making our plan a success. His strength seemed to surpass Legend rank. Perhaps, he reached the rank of a God that only existed in the legendary stories mentioned in the ancient records."
Luo Xian had a grim face as he recalled the young man described by the City Lord. His strength was a variable he did not think of in his plan. It seemed, if he really showed up, his plan would be ruined.
Luo Zheng clenched his fists with an envious face.
He was 23 years old and was already at the 1-star King rank. He is far ahead of his generation. Thanks to the resources of the Luo family, he was able to advance at an incredible speed. He became the strongest youth of the entire generation of Tianyun City.
But now...
A young man in his early 20s has surpassed him. He even had incredible strength surpassing Legend rank.
How could he not be angry and jealous?!
He had to be the one with that incredible power and nothing else. He wanted to be the strongest young man in Tianyun City and get everything he wanted.
No one is blocking his way!
Luo Zheng wanted to kill the mysterious young man and steal his power, so he would be admired by everyone and everyone would show him respect!
Luo Xian watched his son's expression and knew what he was feeling.
"Hmmhhh....!"
He really could not believe that there was a young man who could be so strong beyond the level of legends that even made him a little envious.
Not to mention his own son. His son was proud of his level of strength at his current age. He has a basis for being arrogant. But now, someone younger than him was stronger than him. Therefore, he could understand. He could sense his helplessness, his weakness, his inferiority.
Luo Xian spoke up and said, "Zheng'er, go to the secret treasure room of the Clan I think, I managed to get the three-colored Iris flower from the City Lord's residence Treasury. With the dragon stem potion, it could become made into an elixir. It will help you rise to 3-star King rank. Depending on your efforts, you might even get into the Emperor rank!"
Luo Xian planned to use the medicinal plant for himself, but, he was not sure he could reach the rank of Emperor. So he decided to have his son use the plant.
Luo Zheng let go of his helplessness and anger, when he heard what his father said. It seemed like he could still become stronger in a short period of time!
"Thank you, Dad! I won't let you down!" Luo Zheng thanked her with a proud smile as he bowed in appreciation to his father. Then he turned around and left the main hall.
He hoped that Lui Zheng would become much stronger, so that there would be a greater chance of success in his plan. Luo Xian continued to think of many things. After about an hour, he got up and left.
...
Keesokaan.
Fei Hung woke up early in the morning, right before Ling Yan and Ling Xi woke up.
He cut the long hair he had, because it would attract the attention of many people with his long hair.
He greeted the two of them as Ling Yan nodded his head and Ling Xi timidly retorted.
Now that Fei Hung was completely healed, there were no scars on his body and face, no longer covered in bandages, and his long hair had been cut off, he looked extremely handsome in Ling Xi's eyes, so he couldn't help himself and his face turned red.
Fei Hung smiled, looking at Ling Xi's expression, 'She seems to be very innocent and gentle, but when she was determined, she completely changed her personality'.
The three of them then left the house and headed towards Tianyun City.
Fei Hung knew that they would leave Ling Xi at a friend's house, where she would be safe until the two of them returned. Afterwards, they would meet Ling Yan's friend, Xin Tian.
He told them both to try not to mention his name to anyone else. He told them not to worry about his whereabouts, but it was just something complicated to explain to them. Because, he did not want to be found by that City Lord and started to disturb him.
The two brothers nodded, wondering why Fei Hung said such a thing.
On the way, Fei Hung asked Ling Yan about what he was thinking. "Hey, Brother Ling Yan, why is your home outside the territory of Tianyun City? Wouldn't it be safer if you were in town? not feeling worried anymore with the demonic beast that attacked unexpectedly."
Ling Yan slightly lightened his steps, but he continued walking while saying. "Brother Fei Hung, there's a lot going on. Haaaa, there's no point in hiding it from you, besides, I'm your brother now and that's normal to tell, right?"
Fei Hung nodded with a faint smile and waited for him to continue.
"Our Ling family, a few years ago, was almost one of the big families of Tianyun City, as it exists now, but it was not officially classified, he said, so our status is below that of the five great Clans at the moment. We have several houses inside Tianyun City, but we lost everything when the Luo Clan moved in the shadows and took most of our property."
"A few years ago, there was an attack of a large horde of demon beasts, where there were over 100 demon beasts above the Great Heaven rank and hundreds below, where there were over 100 demon beasts,
"My family Ling, take on the task itself to protect the eastern entrance of Tianyun City, sacrificing their lives on the spot to prevent the demonic beasts from entering the City."
Fei Hung even noticed that Ling Xi's gaze was very sad that was next to her. Fei Hung raised his hand and stroked his head with a smile.
Ling Xi was a little surprised by Fei Hung's actions, so she couldn't help her grief and replied to Fei Hung with a beautiful smile with a hint of red hue on her cheek.
