THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 166

Sky Pads City

The Great Blessing Inn where the NanGong Family stayed. Due to the large number of troops they brought, they decided to rent the entire inn alone!

“Peng!” A middle-aged man slammed the table and snarled, “Yang Kong Qun, you are truly ruthless! You will definitely not let the matter stop if you do not remove my NanGong Family! If that's the case, how am I, NanGong TianLong, to let you go so easily!”

Tianlong NanGong! This middle-aged man was the head of the NanGong Family family, NanGong TianLing! He had indeed hidden himself in the NanGong Family's army!

In front of him, NanGong TianHu and the number one junior of the NanGong Family, NanGong WuMing, sat down. Behind them, a weak-looking woman with eyes full of vengeance sat — she was NanGong Yu!

“Yu’er, are you sure those are the words he said?” Thinking about it, NanGong TianLong felt puzzled, “What is he doing here? It's too confusing.”

“Yes, definitely no mistake. After Yang Kong Qun returned to the mansion, almost everyone discussed why he had chosen to withdraw his troops. Everyone in the mansion tried to decipher the meaning of the words, ‘High Heaven has no Transcending, Large Mountains are countless kilometers’. Do you know what those words mean? That person possessed outstanding martial arts and there would not be many people in the Sky Bearing Empire with the ability to kill brother Le. So, most likely he is..” NanGong Yu is very confused. Why did NanGong Le withdraw his troops after hearing those words. Why did his invincible father have such a strange expression after hearing those words? Don't tell me those words contain magical power in them?

NanGong TianLong's face was very ugly, “At that time, did Yang KongQun announce that he was the killer of Le’er?” This was the thing that really enraged NanGong TianLong! Yang Kong Qun, aren't you being too cruel? You actually stated that he was the murderer of my son in front of several thousand people! Then, you just clean your ass and go. Aren't you a little too despicable?

Since you said something like that, the world would laugh at us for being cowardly if we did not investigate the matter, not even daring to investigate the death of my own son! So, even if that person is not the killer, our NanGong Family should still investigate him on the surface. But ... With his status, is it easy to investigate this matter? If we really investigate this matter, our entire NanGong Family will probably be destroyed in the process!!

“Yang Kong Qun! Fuck your ass! Damn it!!” This was the first time NanGong Yu had witnessed his father scolding such profanity without caring for his image! His voice was filled with boundless anger and frustration!

“Even if you find out about my plan and kill my son, it is nothing more than your plan, and I can let this matter be resolved after charging me with debt. But you, this elder, actually want to push my NanGong Family to the very edge of death! Whether it's your death or mine!” NanGong TianLong gnashed his teeth furiously as a crazy evil look shone in his eyes!

Originally, he only wanted to come to the Sky Bearing Empire to seek an explanation from Yang Kong Qun. After all, this was not the time for their two families to let go of all pretenses. Things would be settled after he squeezed the fortune out of Yang Kong Qun. As for his own son's blood debt, he would slowly collect it in the future! However, he never expected to hear such news on his first day here in Sky Bearing City!

This old man, Yang Kong Qun, actually did not have the slightest bit of guilt, and wanted to direct my attention to the Ling Family! If it was only the Ling Family, it would not matter. But this fellow should only encourage me to fight against Beyond Heavens! Shit, can our NanGong Family provoke an existence like Beyond Heavens?! Although there aren't many people in Beyond Heavens, any random person from the sect would easily slaughter most of my family! Can they still be considered human? They are all no different from the reaper of death!

“The dead brother is still in the ice shed of the Yang Family. Dad, should we..?” NanGong Yu muttered as the edges of his eyes turned red. Despite seeing her father's bad mood, she still decided to ask a question. After all, her brother had been dead for a few days. Not only did he not return home, he was also not buried to rest.

As NanGong TianLong heard the request, his eyes also became dim, “Let him stay there even longer. The weather is now warm and the decomposition of his body will get faster if we move him out of the ice shed. It won't be too late for us to accept Le’er back to the family after settling the matter here. That old thief Yang would not dare to damage Le’er's body. After all, he still had to protect his reputation. ”

“Tian Hu!” NanGong TianLong looked at his sister, “When you visit Yang KongQun tomorrow, you should definitely seek an explanation from her! First, the Yang Family must definitely be responsible for Le’er's death, and someone must accompany him to the grave! Second, Yang KongQun's granddaughter is already engaged to Le’er, and is part of my NanGong family. Our NanGong Family will naturally have our own rules! We should definitely take him back to the NanGong Family with us and this matter cannot be discussed. Third, our NanGong Family will take over all the businesses that the Yang Family owns in the south!”

“Mistaken!” NanGong TianLong smiled cunningly, “In normal circumstances, Yang KongQun would probably make such a decision. But now that all the continent's powers were gathered here, the Yang Family could not lose its power. As long as Yang Kong Qun agreed to the first and second terms, the hearts of those in the Yang Family would definitely waver. In such difficult times, a wobbly heart would definitely lead to their destruction! So, Yang Kong Qun would rather start a war with us than agree to the first two terms! As for the third condition, he had no choice but to agree to it! My motive is also a third condition! ”

“The brother was wise!” NanGong TianHu could not help but be filled with admiration. Big brother is indeed big brother. It might not be possible for me to come up with such an idea in my life!

“Tell Yang KongQun that if he does not agree, our NanGong Family will make preparations to build a relationship with the Ling Family, and go to war with their Yang Family! We will definitely obliterate their Yang Family!” NanGong TianLong smiled cunningly. With the strength of their NanGong Family, the Ling Family would probably be happy if they helped eliminate the Yang Family!

At the same time, Meng LiGe rolled around on her bed restlessly. His eyes opened as he lay on his bed, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window. Meng LiGe was extremely frustrated!

Being the first external force to enter the City of Sky Bearing, Meng LiGe enjoyed the best treatment after they submitted an official visitation notice, and they were arranged to stay in the imperial palace guesthouse! Meng LiGe understood that the Sky Pads Empire gave the face of Northern Wei and their Yu Family! If he was alone, it would be impossible for him to receive such treatment.

Along the way, Meng LiGe was extremely frustrated and disappointed. His assistant, Shi YiTan, was the crown prince's trusted aide. While Shi YiTan was his assistant on the surface, Shi YiTan always seemed to be at odds with him, with the subtle intention of spying on him! Meng LiGe had no choice but to be on full alert!

Thinking through all the past events, Meng LiGe realized that she knew too many secrets that she should not have known. While they were all revealed to him by the crown prince himself, it was impossible for him to live a carefree life after learning these secrets!

Listening to the rain, Meng LiGe's eyes were solemn as the words ‘birds disappeared, the hidden bow’ appeared in his mind! While the birds did not leave and the wisdom had not been used, Wei ChengPing clearly started to worry about him! Especially after seeing the ferocious expression on the crown prince's face, Meng LiGe was convinced that this usually virtuous crown prince might have the intention to kill him! [1]

Meng LiGe laughed bitterly, “I cannot imagine that I would misjudge him with my sharp eyesight!”

Thinking of the trump card that Wei ChengPing had prepared to face Yu BingYan, Meng LiGe was confident that the same treatment would wait for him when he returned to Northern Wei!

Sighing deeply, Meng LiGe closed her eyes and thought of a plan to escape.

This long night had finally passed and the rain had already stopped. The flood in Sky Bearing City was already one foot tall with no sign of it receding at any moment. The moat outside the city had turned into a turbulent river, with murky water surging.

This lightning storm that occurred once in a hundred years had resulted in everyone from Sky Bearing City shutting themselves in the house, and trying their best to get rid of the flood. On the streets, other than the murky floodwaters, not a single person was in sight. Even the capital's patrol squad didn't show up today. After all, the troops from the patrol squad were also human and no one would blame them in such a special scenario. Moreover, it might be impossible for anyone to commit a crime in such weather!

At Ling's house, the flood water was more or less calm. Many guards clung to wooden pots and buckets to pour all the water in the mansion. In front of Ling's house, there was even a mini dam built to divert all the water from their house.

[1]: This means getting rid of something after using it.
