Han Yu led the experts from the City Lord's Mansion and the Qin family toward the Ling family.
As they approached the Ling family's residence, Han Yu suddenly stopped, looked at Yan Liang and Qin Xiong, and said in a deep voice:
"You two go to the Ling family first and interrogate them about the whereabouts of the Spirit Witch. Then I will go to the mine to investigate, so as not to slander the Ling family. After all, the eldest young master of the Ling family, Ling Feng, is the disciple of the third elder of my Immortal Martial Academy."
Yan Liang asked:
"If we are certain that the spirit witch is in the Ling family, and Ling Zhentian does not hand her over, can we simply kill her?"
Han Yu was silent for a moment, then looked at the two of them:
“There’s no need to kill anyone. If it’s really in Ling Zhentian’s hands, I have my own way of making him hand over the Spirit Witch.”
After saying that, Han Yu flew towards the Qin family's mine.
Watching Han Yu's departing figure, a sly glint flashed in Qin Xiong's eyes. He looked at Yan Liang:
"Lord Yan, this is a golden opportunity to destroy the Ling family. Before Han Yu returns, we must wipe out the Ling family, and then we'll split the Ling family's mine equally between our two families!"
Yan Liang smiled and nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehe...Good! That's what I thought too!"
...
In the main hall of the Xiao family, the old woman flattered Lin Qingchen, praising him obsequiously:
"The mistress is truly wise; she didn't get involved in this matter!"
Lin Qingchen instantly thought of Ling Yun, and her hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably.
"Ling Yun's strength is already terrifying. The City Lord's Mansion and the Qin family are courting death. I'm not as stupid as them!"
After saying this, she gave the old woman an order:
"We are preparing to take over the City Lord's Mansion and the Qin family's businesses. After tonight, Mo City will change, and our Xiao family will become the ruler of Mo City."
At this moment, the city lord's mansion and the Qin family had completely surrounded the Ling family.
Yan Liang and Qin Xiong stormed into the Ling family's main hall.
Pointing at Ling Zhentian, who was sitting high in the main seat, he said sternly:
"Ling Zhentian! Elder Han of the outer sect of the Immortal Martial Academy has ordered that you hand over the Spirit Witch or the Ling family will be wiped out!"
Ling Zhentian was slightly taken aback. "What? A spirit witch? What is a spirit witch?"
Qin Xiong pointed at Ling Zhentian and scolded him:
"Stop pretending. Elder Han said that a spirit witch was born in my Qin family's spirit mine. She went to investigate today, but the spirit witch had already been taken away. It must have been given to you by Ling Yun. Hand it over now!"
Ling Zhentian truly did not know what a spirit witch was, and Ling Yun had never given himself a spirit witch.
He quickly realized that Yan Liang and Qin Xiong wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Ling family.
"Hmph! I don't have any spirit sorcerers, and neither does the Ling family. It must be with that rebellious son, Ling Yun. I've already expelled him from the Ling family. Go ask him for it!"
Yan Liang and Qin Xiong were overjoyed. Since they didn't have it, they could use the excuse of refusing to hand it over to destroy the Ling family.
"Ling Zhentian, are you going to hand over the Spirit Witch or not?"
"I'll teach you your mother, I don't have any spirit witches!" Ling Zhentian cursed in anger.
"Since you refuse to hand over the goods, don't blame us for being impolite! Men, wipe out the Ling family!"
With a furious roar, Yan Liang led over a thousand experts from the City Lord's Mansion and the Qin Family to storm into the Ling Family compound.
Faced with the combined attack of the two major families, the Ling family's experts were quickly subdued.
Yan Liang and Qin Xiong exchanged a glance, both seeing ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Qin Xiong suppressed his elation and coldly questioned Ling Zhentian:
"Will you hand over the Spirit Witch or not?!"
At this moment, Ling Zhentian was filled with immense fear. He knew that the Ling family was doomed today, but there was still a sliver of hope.
"The spirit sorcerer must be in Ling Yun's hands. It's all that rebellious son's fault! Go after him! He's already left the city!"
Qin Xiong shouted:
"Do you really believe the spirit sorcerer is on Ling Yun?"
Although the Ling family must be wiped out, the spirit witch also needs to be found, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Han Yu.
Ling Zhentian said decisively:
"I'm certain it's on Ling Yun. Yesterday, Ling Yun cried and begged me not to kick him out of the house. He even took out a crystal, which I didn't take at the time. Now that I think about it, it must be the spirit witch!"
Qin Xiong and Yan Liang exchanged a glance and nodded, convinced that Ling Zhentian wouldn't dare lie now, and that the spirit witch must be on Ling Yun.
Just then, a master from the Qin family arrived carrying a young boy.
The boy was none other than A Bao. He had just entered the Ling family through the secret door and was captured as soon as he got the jade pendant.
"Master, this person is sneaking around stealing things from the Ling family. What should we do?"
Qin Xiong glanced at A Bao and said directly:
"He's just a thief, throw him out and don't worry about him!"
Just then, Ling Zhentian suddenly said:
"Patriarch Qin, wait! This man is Ling Yun's servant, A Bao. We can use A Bao as bait to lure Ling Yun out!"
Qin Xiong narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ling Zhentian and said sarcastically:
"They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet you tricked your own son into coming back just to save your own life. You're worse than an animal!"
Ling Zhentian felt no shame whatsoever, and coldly snorted:
"I have severed ties with that rebellious son; he is not my son!"
Qin Xiong sneered:
"You're such a good dad!"
Then, he said to the family's experts:
"Spread the word that Abao has been detained, and lure Lingyun back."
"You actually tried to use me as bait to lure my brother into a trap, how despicable!"
Abao said angrily, knowing that Lingyun would surely die if he returned.
At this moment, A Bao was filled with regret. He should have known better than to come back for the jade pendant. No matter how important the jade pendant was, it was not as important as his elder brother's life.
Snap!
The Qin family expert slapped A Bao hard across the face and scolded:
"Kneel down and don't say a word!"
Abao stubbornly raised his head and looked at Ling Zhentian:
"Patriarch Ling, your eldest brother is your own son! Do you really want him to come back to his death?"
Ling Zhentian said confidently:
"Hmph! Ling Yun is not my son. He is a bastard who was kicked out of the family by me. It is a waste to use his life to save the entire Ling family."
"You beast, aren't you afraid of divine retribution for doing this?" Abao shouted angrily, his eyes red.
Ling Zhentian was furious that a mere servant dared to insult him.
"You lowly slave, prepare to die!"
Enraged, Ling Zhentian was about to kill A Bao.
Qin Xiong kicked him to the ground.
"You better kneel down properly. We're still counting on using A Bao to lure Ling Yun back. Are you going to kill him and use you as bait?"
Ling Zhentian smiled obsequiously and knelt obediently on the ground.
Ah Bao stared at Qin Xiong with bloodshot eyes, wanting to kill him, but he lacked the strength to do so.
"You beasts, don't even think about harming my brother!"
Click!
The Qin family expert broke all four of A Bao's limbs and shouted:
"Shut up! After Ling Yun comes back and kills him, I'll kill you too! Kneel properly!"
At this moment, Abao collapsed to his knees, the excruciating pain causing cold sweat to pour from his forehead.
Suddenly, Abao looked up at Qin Xiong and Yan Liang and roared:
"I'd rather die than let you succeed!"
The next moment!
Ah Bao bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Qin Xiong was slightly taken aback, then glanced at A Bao's corpse with disgust, and shouted at the Qin family guards:
"Now that this guy is dead, you all set off immediately, splitting into three groups to capture Ling Yun alive!"
