Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
After Ling Yu, the forefather of the Ling family, issued the order to kill the monster, monster-catching families heard the news and rushed to the scene from all over the country.
That night, Ling Yu had Ling Feng brought out of the dungeon before anyone else arrived.
They didn't abuse Ling Feng, because they still had to rely on him to trick Lan Shuang to come over, so they didn't attack him at first, but just used threats, inducements, and other means of torture, which could not be seen from the outside.
When he brought it up, he looked a little haggard, but his eyes were still bright, as if burning with fire.
When he saw Ling Yu, he frowned, the hatred in his eyes undisguised, and his voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Where's my mother?"
Ling Yu sat high on a Huanghuali armchair, his long robe wrinkled at his waist and abdomen, looking just like his old face.
He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "How dare you ask? Do you know that the Nine-Life Cat Demon has escaped? The formation we painstakingly prepared for so many days was almost destroyed! She also ran into the Demon Locking Tower and released the great demon inside. Now that the great demon has emerged, our Ling family is in danger. Are you satisfied?"
Ling Feng was startled, then his whole body suddenly relaxed, "ran away?"
He lowered his head, looked at his blurry reflection on the smooth tile floor, and chuckled softly: "It's good to run away."
"good?"
Ling Yu was furious and stood up to slap him. "I'm telling you, the cat demon is gone, the formation is ruined, the center is empty, and the Ling family's fortune is in decline. You are the sinner. Now, get out of here and into the Demon Locking Tower to be the center of the formation for the big demon!"
"Someone, take him away!"
"Where's my mother?"
Ling Feng struggled and screamed.
Ling Yu looked down at him, "Your mother?" A mocking smile appeared on his face, "She died a long time ago."
Ling Yu paused abruptly, and after a moment, he was about to leap up like a madman, "You bunch of beasts! You promised to treat her? I listened to you and tricked her into coming here, why didn't you keep your promise?!"
"Why--"
Ling Feng's voice echoed throughout the Ling family's ancestral home, shrill and piercing.
Ling Yu frowned impatiently and cast a spell, knocking Ling Feng unconscious.
Ling Feng was carried and thrown onto the ruins of the Demon Locking Tower. Someone came forward and cut Ling Feng's palm, pressing his hand to the ground. Blood flowed along the edge of the formation, and the dark red formation soon lit up again.
"That's it, let's go. Once the formation is fully effective, he should be reduced to ashes."
The person who brought him here went back to report, leaving Ling Feng lying alone on the ruins, letting his blood flow freely.
"How did it become like this, Afeng..."
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, a gentle voice sounded beside his ears, waking Ling Feng up.
Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes and saw a blurry shadow floating beside him.
He suddenly tensed up and looked at the fog warily, "Who are you? Where is this?"
He jumped up too fast and his vision suddenly went dark. He almost rolled off the rubble. He grabbed the edge of the brick wall and managed to keep his balance.
The mist floated in front of him and asked worriedly, "I'm your mother, Afeng, what's wrong with your hand?"
"Mom?" Hearing this familiar voice, Ling Feng looked over in disbelief. The fog was still fog, nothing had changed.
"It's me, I... I've been wandering around for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you. Child, you've suffered."
Ling Feng's eyes suddenly turned red. He choked up and stretched out his hand to touch the mist, but he grabbed nothing: "Mom..."
——Digression——
Today is still short...
