THE LING TIAN LEGEND
Episode 323

...

...

The head of the Yang Family, Yang KongQun, led the front row happily as he looked forward to emerging victorious over his rival for many years! The Imperial Family has chosen to eliminate the Ling Family first! At this moment, Yang Kong Qun could already feel victory in his grasp! Without the presence of the Ling Family, would Long Xiang have the strength to break free from his clutches? The answer is obvious: No!

Ling Residence, in the main hall.

Duke Ling and Old Madam Ling sat in front of the hall with serious faces and dark clouds looming on their faces. Ling Tian's mother, Chu Ting’er, sat on the side with the edge of her eyes red as she groaned silently. It was clear that she was worried about her husband's life and death and the safety of her son who went to save her.

The hall was completely filled with the elites of the Ling Family and the Ling Family Courtyard with various leaders sitting solemnly. Ling Chen and Yu BingYan were both wearing clean white dresses as they stood at the side silently without the slightest hint of emotion being seen on their faces.

Throughout the hall, there were many different expressions seen on the many people present. However, none of them showed any signs of nervousness, fear, shock, or anxiety …

Ling Zhan's originally grayed hair had completely bleached in just half a day! He has served the empire with his entire life and has devoted all his strength and efforts to the prosperity of the nation. It could be said that the entire Sky Bearing Empire was the fruit of Ling Zhan's blood and sweat! However, in his final days, Ling Zhan's son was actually betrayed by the emperor with his life or death unknown! Afterwards, the emperor whom he had sworn his loyalty to had actually led his Imperial Army to besiege his own Ling Family with an attempt to uproot their family! How could Ling Zhan not be depressed by such a severe blow! Duke Ling felt as if he was too tired!

It could be said that the moment Long Xiang gave his imperial edict, Ling Chen had received news about him even before Shen RuHu had received his order! However, everyone was divided in terms of how they should deal with this situation, with the division of the courtyard and the Ling Residence having the greatest contrast!

Who should be the leader?!

If it was ten, or even five years ago, Old Madam Ling and Duke Ling would definitely take command without hesitation! However, time was not merciful to them. As for Chu Ting’er? While he was an expert in running a business, such a matter was beyond his means!

There seems to be no other right choice!

After arguing for a long time, everyone in the hall could not come to a conclusion on the matter. Finally, Old Madam Ling grew impatient, and she asked, “When your young noble leaves, who does he leave behind to take charge of the page?”

The skinny Ling Lei then took a step forward and bowed. “Reporting to the Old Lady, the young noble said that all authority on the page would be given to Miss Chen if she was not around! No one is allowed to go against his orders! Anyone who disobeys his orders will be killed mercilessly!”

“Killed without mercy?! How could a girl like him take command? Haha...” A vice butler from the Ling Residence named Wu Yong started laughing, with his laughter filled with ridicule and ridicule. This Wu Yong had been following Duke Ling for a long time and felt as if he could be considered an older-level figure in the Ling Family. Along with the fact that he had an arrogant personality, he always expressed his thoughts freely and without regard for his words. Even if he was in front of Ling Xiao and Chu Ting’er, it was no exception. Everyone in the Ling Residence respected him for his seniority and usually treated him as a high figure. Now that he was the first to object, all the others from the Ling Residence wanted to come out and support him.

Suddenly, sword light flashed and moans sounded! Ling Dian then slowly pulled his sword out of Wu Yong's chest and said coldly indifferently, “The young noble said that anyone who doubted Miss Ling Chen would be mercilessly killed, regardless of whether he was right or wrong! Didn't I just clarify myself?”

Wu Yong punched the wound on his chest as his eyes almost popped out in disbelief. He started muttering indistinctly like he wanted to say something but could not say a word. His body then fell forward to the ground with his legs jerked a few times before remaining motionless on the ground with blood flowing out of his body.

Everyone's expression changed! None of them expected this teenager to be so vicious! With just one word of disapproval, he had killed the other party!

Duke Ling's face began to cramp as he looked at Ling Dian with a cold gaze! Thinking that little brat dared to kill his right trusted aide before his eyes! Isn't that too much?!

“Pa pa...” Old Lady Ling suddenly started clapping. “Really Tian’er nice! What a firm decision! To think that he left such a firm order before he left! He is a good grandson of mine! If that's the case, Chener, what are you waiting for? Give command. If anyone dares to break your orders, this old lady will be the first to take care of him! No, this old lady doesn't even need to do anything. We will follow what Tian’er said and kill mercilessly!”

Old Madam Ling was the one who held the true authority of the Ling Family for decades. How could he not know what was most important at this moment? Although he was also dissatisfied with Ling Dian killing Wu Yong, he had to admit that Ling Dian's actions were not wrong! After all, both Duke Ling and himself were old, and energy was a huge problem for them. So, the best method available was to suppress all objections to a thunder-like method to ensure that their troops could be deployed immediately in such a scenario! At this moment, if there was a split in the family, they would be destroyed in this tribulation! If they did not possess such a resolute method, how could they tame the crowd? At the same time, Old Madam Ling was also shocked by the ferocity of the young man before her.

Ling Chen smiled and bowed calmly. “Remain, Old Lady Ling. There is no need for anyone in this hall to panic and you can all guard your own station. The relevant parties have informed me and I have already sent them! We just need to wait for our enemy to fall into the trap!”

“Oh?” Old Madam Ling said with a praising expression, “How did you send them? Did Tian’er deploy them before leaving?”

Ling Chen bowed again and said with a smile, “Young nobles have always predicted that this day will come, so how could he not make an investigation? At the same time, he also talked about how we should deal with such a matter. All the tasks were done by Chen’er and Old Madam Ling would know about it soon. Why is there a need to worry?”

“Ah ah, then, this old lady can be calm and can't wait to watch the show,” Old Lady Ling said with a smile. He knew that Ling Chen was unwilling to reveal the specifics of his plan in front of the many people present to maintain secrecy. At the same time, he could not help but feel at ease.

A panicked voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall, “Please, please .. my mother ... she fainted ..” After a panicked cry, Princess JiaoYue ran in panic with anxiety all over her face! It turned out that Consort Ling Ran heard that her own husband had actually planned to kill his own brother and even wanted to seize the opportunity to eliminate his Ling Family! Her own family had been at odds with her husband without a chance to turn things around. He could not help but be thrown into depression and dilemma and his already weak body fainted on the spot!

“What's inside!” Old Madam Ling sighed and held Princess JiaoYue's arm. After sending an eye signal to Chu Ting’er, he walked out of the hall. After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ting’er also followed Old Lady Ling out. Duke Ling then stood up and let out a long sigh. Looking at Ling Chen, he looked like he wanted to say something but in the end did not say anything. Shaking his head, he walked out of the hall, a silent retreating figure filled with the gloomy spirit of a warrior at the end of his path!

For the three great figures of the Ling Family to walk out of the hall at the moment, they only had one goal: to trust Ling Tian's choice. They had chosen to acknowledge Ling Chen's position as the leader and leave the life and death of the Ling Family to his hands! They had shown their attitude: no matter what Ling Chen did, the three of them would not question him and would wait for the result! Even if he were to send the entire Ling Family to their deaths, they would also receive that result! This is a strong family attitude, trusting the family they choose to follow!

Ling Chen's eyes were already filled with tears. While he was confident that he would be able to persuade Old Lady Ling and Duke Ling, he never expected things to go so smoothly. However, he still could not help feeling anxious about the fact that the Ling Family's life or death was on his shoulders.

The Imperial Army should be coming soon, right? Why are there no signs yet? Could there be a mistake in my plan?

The Smoky Thea Tower!

“Sister, what should we do? Should we fight or retreat? Can you make a decision ?! ” NanGong TianHu was like a lion trapped in a cage, pacing anxiously with a wheezing breath. “If the Ling Family is destroyed, we will definitely be their next target! Brother, we can't let our guard down.”

NanGong TianLong's face calmed down as he held the teacup and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Let's wait and see, it's not too late.”

“Is it not too late? Brother, the Ling Family is already about to be destroyed! That old dog Yang KongQun had taken out his Heavenly Sword Force! How can I not worry?” NanGong TianHu walked over again as the veins on the side of his forehead bulged out. “At the time the Ling Family was wiped out, it was too late for us to worry.”

NanGong TianLong simply replied with a smile and looked towards NanGong Yu. “Yuer, what do you think?”

NanGong Yu frowned for a moment and considered before replying, “Daddy, I think there is something unusual about this matter! The fact that victory is still in sight makes this a huge dilemma!”
