Xiao Fang of the Tianxuan Dynasty left without saying a word, making a clean and decisive escape without giving Ling Yunbo a chance to speak.
Ling Yunbo and Lin Ming could only smile wryly. They were currently unable to deal with Ling Wushang and would have to come back in a month.
Seeing this, Ling Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was temporarily settled.
Ling Wushang returned to the ground, coldly looked at Ling Yunbo, and mocked:
"So, your backer has run away. What do you have to fight me with now? Show me all your trump cards."
Ling Yunfei felt a pang of resentment, but maintained a composed expression.
"It's only a month, I can wait that long. I wonder if you, Ancestor Wushang, can wait that long? What can you do to me a month from now?"
Ling Wushang scoffed, "You were just as confident at the beginning, and now?"
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Lin Ming said to Ling Yunbo, "Let's go, there's no point in saying more."
Ling Yunbo nodded. "Okay, then let's leave for now."
He then addressed the Ling family members in a loud voice:
"I have said that I do have selfish motives, but I am also thinking about the future of the Ling family."
Today you all know about the situation of Ancestor Wushang. He can't hold on for much longer; he can only maintain this strength for a maximum of one month.
If he passes away, everyone should understand what situation our Ling family will face.
I admit that my previous methods were somewhat dishonorable, but I have a clear conscience.
Yunhai, Yuntao, come with me. And all those who believe in me and support me, come with me too.
Ling Yunfei tried to dissuade him, but Ling Wushang stopped him.
Ling Wushang simply looked quietly at all the members of the Ling family.
The fifth brother, Ling Yuntao, followed behind Ling Yunbo without hesitation.
The second son, Ling Yunhai, hesitated. He wanted to secure a future for the Ling family, but he disliked Ling Yunbo's way of doing things, and there were many things he didn't know beforehand.
In the end, Ling Yunhai did not follow Ling Yunbo and chose to stay.
Seeing this, Ling Yunfei was overjoyed, "Second brother, you really were deceived."
Ling Yunbo tried to persuade him, "Yunhai, what's wrong with you? Do you really think there's any hope for the Ling family now?"
Ling Yunhai shook his head. "I did agree with your idea before, but I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous as to directly threaten the Ancestor. I have doubts about your motives."
Ling Yunbo snorted coldly and left with the people from the Burning Heaven Sect.
Many of their disciples followed them; these were all from the lineage of Ling Yunbo and Ling Yuntao.
Seeing this, the other factions tactfully left without Ling Wushang having to say a word.
With this, the Ling family's crisis was temporarily averted, but those who remained showed no joy.
A month will pass quickly, and Ling Yunbo and his team will make a comeback.
Ling Yunfei looked worried; he had no good solution.
If everything hadn't been said outright, things would have been fine, but now that Ling Yunbo has directly pointed it out, the Ling family is in a very troublesome situation.
Ling Wushang said to everyone, "Go about your business, don't worry."
Then he flew away.
Qin Feng noticed Ling Wushang's condition and knew that his body was about to give out and he needed to heal his injuries.
After Ling Wushang left, the remaining members of the Ling family all looked at Ling Yunfei.
Ling Yunfei adjusted his mindset, "The ancestor said that everyone doesn't need to worry, so everyone doesn't need to worry. The ancestor has a clear understanding of the situation. Everyone, go and get busy."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Ling family exchanged glances and dispersed with heavy hearts. They wondered how Ling Yunbo and his group would treat them if they won.
Only Ling Yunfei, Ling Hao, Ling Yuwei, and Qin Feng remained at the scene.
Ling Hao asked worriedly, "Father, what should we do now? A month will pass quickly. Will Ancestor Wushang be able to recover? Is there really a way to deal with this?"
Ling Yuwei also looked at Ling Yunfei hopefully, wanting to hear a definite answer.
But Ling Yunfei shook his head.
"I don't know either, but there's no better way now. We can only trust our ancestor and believe that he wouldn't joke about something like this."
Ling Yuwei and Ling Hao were also helpless; they had no other choice.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly asked, "Could you tell me what kind of injury Senior Ling Wushang suffered, and how he needs to recover?"
Ling Hao echoed:
“That’s right, Father. We didn’t know about Ancestor Wushang’s injury before, but it’s no longer a secret. Why don’t you tell us about it? Maybe we can really solve it.”
Ling Yunfei nodded.
"It's alright to tell you, this has been going on for a long time. Our Ling family has been able to maintain itself for so many years thanks to Ancestor Wushang. Otherwise, we wouldn't be living such a comfortable life."
Originally, the injury wouldn't have been a problem if it had remained dormant in his body. However, as the old man grew older, his cultivation level increased slowly, and his lifespan continued to decrease.
This couldn't go on, so he took a risk and tried to break through to the late stage of the Emperor Realm. As you can probably guess, he failed.
He was not only seriously injured, but his old injuries were also aggravated, making his condition even worse.
The old man knew this situation was bad, so he told us about it so we could be mentally prepared.
Even if something bad happens, the Ling family will not panic and will be able to make arrangements in advance.
We, the five brothers, were extremely anxious when we learned of this, and began trying to find ways to heal our ancestor, but to no avail.
Later, the ancestor said that he needed the essence blood of a royal-level demon beast. Since we couldn't deal with a royal-level expert, we had to ask others to buy it.
