1738 Set off, Jin Ling can't hold on any longer

Two living people fell down in front of them, not even a bone was left. Even though they knew the danger of Tianqiong Mountain and knew that several people died here every year, they were still very shocked to see the Lord of Lingbao die in front of them.

"Oh my God." Someone covered his mouth and his legs were shaking with fear.

Looking at the bottomless gap at the foot of the mountain, everyone lost the courage to go down the mountain, fearing that they would fall to their death like Lord Ling.

"Father." Ling Tian was stunned. He fell to the ground and stared at the bottom of the mountain in a daze.

Although he wanted to become the ruler of Sky Castle, he never thought that one day his father would die in front of him in this way. This was too terrible.

Who will tell him that this is not true, that his father is not dead.

Tears fell from Ling Tian's eyes, drop by drop...

Ling Tian looked so pitiful, and the people around him showed pity. The Lord of Xuanyue Palace sighed that things are unpredictable, and comforted Ling Tian: "Nephew Ling, don't be too sad. Maybe Lord Ling is lucky and didn't fall into the abyss. The most urgent thing is to go down the mountain to check. If Lord Ling fell at the foot of the mountain, he will be fine with his martial arts."

"Yes, yes, my father will be fine, my father will not die. I will go down the mountain to look for him now." Ling Tian quickly came back to his senses and rushed down the mountain.

He believed that his father must still be alive.

Of the two people who fell off the mountain, one was still alive, but that person was not Lingbao Lord but Lu Qing. Lu Qing was caught by Zhezhe and Ling Mo who were prepared.

After falling on the giant net, Lu Qing took a long time to confirm that she was still alive. Lu Qing lay on the giant net motionless, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes. She looked up at the gray sky, clenched the hairpin in her hand, and a very faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips: I am finally free, and I don’t have to live in fear anymore.

After completing the mission, Ling Mo took Lu Qing to secretly meet up with the Ninth Prince. When Zhezhe found out, he disappeared without saying anything.

Afterwards, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen found out and realized that it was Zhezhe's idea to burn down Tianqiong Fort, so they stopped questioning Ling Mo and only asked Ling Mo to take Lu Qing back to Dongling secretly, and they would leave later.

Ling Tian went down the mountain and gathered the remaining people from Tianqiong Castle. They searched around the foot of the mountain for several times but could not find any trace of Castle Master Ling and Lu Qing. Even though Ling Tian refused to admit it, he had to face the facts.

Within one day, his father and his two closest maids died tragically in front of him. He was the only one left in the world, and there would be no one to share his future glory and disgrace with him.

"Father." Ling Tian knelt down at the foot of the mountain and burst into tears.

After something like this happened, everyone would comfort Ling Tian and ask him to mourn. As for other matters, they would not trouble Ling Tian at this time and everyone would take care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The Ninth Prince knew about this, so he told his subordinates and arranged everything for these martial artists. Everyone who had received the favor was grateful and wanted to go and thank the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince had no intention of accepting any of their thanks and refused to see any of them.

As a result, more people felt that the Ninth Prince was a very good person and worthy of making friends with, and the Ninth Prince's reputation in the martial arts world improved a lot.

As for Lord Lingbao's final affairs?

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen did not participate. A few days after they came down the mountain, they received a letter from Wang Jinling, who urged them to return to the city as soon as possible. The City Lord had been getting more and more aggressive recently, and he could hardly bear it any longer.

The matters concerning Tianqiong Fort were all settled. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had no intention of interfering with the subsequent trivial matters, so they set off to return to Dongling.

However, the funeral of Lord Ling was still very grand. Lord Ling had a great influence in the martial arts world. On the day of the funeral, many people came to express their condolences. But no matter how many people came to express their condolences, it could not change the fact that Tianqiong Fort was about to fall. When a person dies, the light goes out. These people give face to Tianqiong Fort now, but it does not mean that they will give it in the future.

The father is the father, the son is the son. The father is a hero, but the son may not be a hero. People like the Xuanyue Palace Master only sighed at the death of Lingbao Lord, or even took a happy attitude towards Lingbao Lord's death.

The Jianghu was so small that all the forces were fighting for it. The territory was clearly demarcated. If you wanted to get more resources, you had to snatch them from others. No one dared to take advantage of Tianqiong Fort when it was in the hands of Fort Lord Ling, but it was different in Ling Tian's hands.

Ling Tian is just a young man, no matter how strong his ability is, he can see it. In addition, Tianqiong Fort is not like Xuanxiao Palace, which does not touch the worldly affairs of the martial arts world and relies on ancestral property to maintain daily expenses. Tianqiong Fort holds a large amount of resources, and there are many people who covet the industries under Tianqiong Fort. These people have been ready to make a move, but they are reluctant to be the first to act because of face.

"Give them a hand." The Ninth Prince closed the book and said with a smile.

To kill you while you're weak, with the instigation of the Ninth Prince, various sects, led by Xuan Yue Palace, took advantage of the fact that Ling Tian was busy investigating the burning of Tian Qiong Fort and the cause of death of Ling Fort's master, to gradually erode the power of Tian Qiong Fort and absorb its talents. By the time Ling Tian was able to react, the power of Tian Qiong Fort had shrunk by two-fifths.

"Asshole." Ling Tian was so angry that he cursed and smashed all the furnishings in the study room to pieces.

After investigating for the past month, he finally found out that the hairy monster was raised by his father. He was originally going to use it to deal with the Ninth Prince, but it ended up killing him.

After finding out this, Ling Tian was certain that his father's death was related to the Ninth Uncle, but he dared not announce this result. If people knew that his father had killed the Ninth Uncle, those people outside would only say that his father deserved to die, and even the good reputation that his father had worked so hard to build would be ruined.

"Father, I will definitely avenge you." Ling Tian clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

"Ninth Uncle, I won't let anyone from Xuanyue Palace go." Ling Tian gritted his teeth, and the corners of his lips bled.

Even without evidence, Ling Tian could be sure that the fire in Tianqiong Castle was related to the Ninth Uncle and Xuanyue Palace.

But……

Skydome Castle is no longer the Skydome Castle it used to be. He has no ability to take revenge at all. He can only watch his enemies get away with it and deal with them with a smile on his face.

"Father, I now understand how hard you worked." He always wanted to be the master of Skydome Castle, but when he was actually in charge, he realized how difficult it was. He had really taken it for granted before.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen didn't take Ling Tian's anger and fury to heart. Without Ling Tian's master, the Sky Dome Fortress would not be a big deal. In addition, the various sects in the martial arts world joined forces to suppress it. The Sky Dome Fortress had long lost its former glory. However, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had planted many hidden lines in the Sky Dome Fortress.

These secret agents usually don't need to do anything, and it's not their turn to collect intelligence. They are only responsible for keeping an eye on Ling Tian to see if Ling Tian has contact with Bei Ling. The Ninth Prince can allow Ling Tian's ambition to exist, but he cannot allow him to collude with Bei Ling...
