Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 27 - Ling Yan's Hatred of the Luo Clan
Ling Xi was a little surprised by Fei Hung's actions, so she couldn't help her grief and returned a beautiful smile with a slight red hue on her cheek.
"My father is a 3-star King ranked cultivator, so he has almost all the burden to lead our Ling and protect the east gate of the city. I didn't have much strength to fight back then, let alone to protect myself, so my father made me stay home to take care of my little sister.",
"In our Ling Clan, there are some maids and some women who have no martial arts strength as well as children from the secondary branch who are very young, very young, so that they do not fight on the front lines, but help by trying to heal the wounded or give them everything to everyone in need."
"Suddenly, no one knew how a demonic beast in the form of a monkey, called, Gorilla, appeared out of nowhere in the territory of the Ling Clan. Those who were injured, even the servants and lowly sweat lads, joined forces to kill the demonic beast. But, that Gorilla, was a demon beast at 3-star Heaven rank, so it was normal that no one could hurt him. The demonic beast killed everyone in my Ling family, even my mother died while trying to save us, giving us time to run.!"
"When the demonic beast was about to chase after us and kill us, my father returned from the eastern entrance of the City, his body filled with blood. We knew he had figured it out somehow and came back for us. But, he was too weak and tired to face that demonic beast. He knew he was going to die. But, still, she did not hesitate and fought for the sake of her two children."
"When our father saw the horrifying sight of everyone who had been killed, he jumped towards the Gorilla without hesitation, as he shouted to us 'My children! You have to survive, no matter what happens to me, you have to get out of here alive! Yan'er! You have to take care of your sister, promise me! He needs you, you have to be a good man and as a big brother! I'm sorry I can't be with you guys anymore, I'll see you two from heaven with your mother!"
"Then I shouted at my father, making sure he heard me tell him not to worry, that I would take good care of my sister. She's my only family, so I won't let anything happen to her. I then carried Ling Xi because she fainted seeing everything that was happening, so I managed to save ourselves both with a lot of effort.!"
"My father died after he managed to kill the demon beast. He sacrificed himself by giving his life for both of us."
Fei Hung listened attentively without interrupting Ling Yan's story. Sometimes, there are small details in the story or places that can help him decipher things.
Ling Yan clenched his fists while Ling Xi's eyes reddened in remembrance of his parents' death.
Ling Yan then continued to explain.
"But, it wasn't all done yet, after the demon beast matter was over and Tianyun City managed to defend itself, the Luo Clan began to report that the Ling Clan disobeyed their orders and allowed the demon beasts to enter the city, instead, endangering everyone's life. There were many grievances and disturbances due to the abandonment of the Lingku clan, but it was immediately pacified thanks to the help of the City Lord., the.,
Somehow, the City Lord knew about the Gorilla's sudden appearance, and did not blame the Ling Clan for neglecting their duties. Instead, he thanked the Ling Clan, and especially to our father, for giving his life in the face of the demonic beasts and preventing further calamities from happening. He regretted the extermination of the entire Ling Clan. Both of us are the only ones who survived.
Since I was still immature, the Luo family started to move saying that the Ling Clan property should be passed on to another family, as precious resources would be lost and with this, the Ling Clan's property would be passed on to another family, as valuable resources would be lost, the defense of Tianyun City can be upgraded and thanked the Ling Clan.
So, almost all of our Ling Clan properties are divided among several Clans, while I am doing my best and we only have the house where we currently live.
Then, thanks to brother Xin Tian, I learned that, the Luo clan owns over 70% of our property. They had absorbed more than half of the Ling Clan's possessions.
That's why I hate the Luo family. I will not forgive that they easily take over what is rightfully ours! Furthermore, that bastard Luo Feng wanted my younger sister. I won't let him get away with it!"
'That Luo family, it seemed, was one of those families that would do anything to gain power. I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to control the demonic beasts and destroy Tianyun City, getting rid of the great Clans to have complete control over the city'. Fei Hung thought, pondering over the information Ling Yan had told him.
There were many questions he had regarding this Luo Clan.
Immediately, the three of them arrived at the center of Tianyun City as they made their way to Xin Tian's house.
Fei Hung wanted to see the center of the City, so he told Ling Yan that he would wait for them at the location where they were. Since he could only see this City from above last night, he wanted to take a walk today.
"Wait!"
Ling Yan and Ling Xi stopped to listen to Fei Hung.
Ling Tian suddenly thought of something. Since he did not want to frighten them all of a sudden, he placed his hands on their clothes and released his spiritual senses into the spatial ring in his diary.
He found a bracelet, which had 3 jade beads hanging around it.
Fei Hung took Ling Xi's delicate hand and placed the bracelet on her, causing a red hue to appear on the girl's cheek
"Ling Xi's sister, this bracelet is something special, I made it myself. This is the Protective Bracelet of the Sun, Moon and Stars. You have to make sure you wear it all the time. So don't take it off for whatever reason." Fei Hung explained to him while he looked at him seriously.
Ling Xi nodded her head in a dead red, then fled the place as soon as Fei Hung let go of her hand.
Ling Yan who saw this from the side, gave him a mocking look. Fei Hung just laughed weakly.
Ling Yan then followed Ling Xi in a hurry.
Fei Hung had given Ling Xi a protective bracelet. He recalled that when he started making spirit artifacts, whether its defense or attack, after thousands of attempts, he managed to make such bracelets.
So he kept it in the corner of his spatial ring, as a collection of his first artificial artifacts.
Ling Tian then started to walk around, observing the crowd inside the city center
