Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2120 - 2123: Turning the Tables: The Aggrieved Chen Family

"He is the crown prince, we simply can't afford to provoke him, especially when there are people from the Xuan She Demon Sect coming out to protect the Chen Family, what do you expect me to do?"

"You are all alone and won't care about the life and death of the Ling Family, but I must take responsibility for the entire Ling Family."

Ling Yuhua's words were justified and confident.

"No need to explain, at the end of the day, you're just cowardly and heartless, that's not up for debate. Since we know Chen Long killed my father, this matter becomes simple."

Ling Xiao revealed a cold smile.

Chen Long must die!

However, when capturing that guy, he must first clarify why Chen Long killed his father.

He always felt there was something off about this.

The main conflict temporarily shifted.

Ling Xiao planned to use the Ling Family to deal with the Chen Family, accomplishing his goal of revenge while also quickly improving his cultivation level.

After all, resources are the most important thing for martial artists.

"Alright, Clan Leader, I'm heading to the Martial Hall. If there's anything, you can send someone to find me at the courtyard."

Ling Xiao stood up, suddenly turning cold, "I hope what happened to Xiao Wu is the last time. If I see Xiao Wu being mistreated again, I will pay it back tenfold! A hundredfold!"

As he was about to step out of the room, someone suddenly reported that Chen Ran, the eldest son, and Chen Long, the second son of the Chen Family, had arrived.

Ling Xiao paused, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had never seen what Chen Long, the murderer of his father, looked like. Although he didn't know why they came, he figured it was worth seeing.

Ling Yuhua did not seem to have any intention of letting Ling Xiao leave.

Now everyone was in the same boat, just using each other, so information sharing was expected.

"Two young nephews, what brings you to the Ling Family at this time?"

Ling Yuhua asked Chen Ran and Chen Long to take a seat, then smiled and asked.

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Since Elder Ling asked, we won't hide it.

Just now, someone said that someone from the Ling Family killed the Mysterious Serpent Envoy from the Xuan She Demon Sect in Yuhua Town. Is this true?"

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Ling Xiao, clearly knowing who killed the Mysterious Serpent Envoy.

At that moment, Ling Yuhua and Ling Xiao both thought someone had leaked the information, their faces were not looking good.

"Elder Ling, you surely understand the existence of the Mysterious Serpent Envoy well. He was killed, and even if the Xuan She Demon Sect doesn't pursue it, the Chen Dynasty will."

Chen Ran continued, "Rumor says the murderer was extremely brutal, killing and destroying the body, this is a capital crime."

"Could such a thing happen?"

Ling Yuhua acted quite well, looking very surprised at Chen Ran, "The Mysterious Serpent Envoy excels in martial arts, has profound cultivation level, who could kill him and destroy the body?"

"Old man, stop pretending, the one who killed the Mysterious Serpent Envoy is someone from the Ling Family!"

Chen Long suddenly shouted, "And that person is in this room! Kid, do you dare to admit it?"

He suddenly glared at Ling Xiao with anger and said, "Do you intend to plunge Yuhua Town into eternal doom?"

Ling Xiao smiled serenely, "Everyone knows that the Chen Family and the Ling Family are at odds, I thought it was just rumors, but I didn't expect the Chen Family to go this far, spouting nonsense, spreading lies, do you really think the Ling Family is easy to bully?"

The reason he was so calm was simple, the other side had no evidence.

Only one eyewitness, which is no different from having no evidence at all.

"You bastard, dare to deny it like this, someone saw you kill the Mysterious Serpent Envoy with their own eyes, can it still be false?"

Chen Long's temper was very volatile, what he said was always with rage.

Especially since Ling Xiao wouldn't admit what he believed was obvious, it made him even angrier.

"Fine, who saw it, have them come and confront me face to face, don't let a few random lies make our Chen Family and the Ling Family turn hostile.

Don't forget, our two families are bound by marriage!"

Ling Xiao remained very composed.

He was confident that the person wouldn't dare to come for a face-to-face confrontation, and as long as the person dared to appear, they were dead.

To take a step back, even if the person dared to appear, he had countless ways to make them retract their statement.

So an eyewitness, in the Mysterious World, is the least useful.

Ling Yuhua was originally worried that Ling Xiao would say the wrong thing due to nervousness, but didn't expect Ling Xiao to handle Chen Ran and Chen Long so effectively with just a few words.

These two came to hold accountable but ended up being the culprits for destroying the relationship between the two families.

This label made Chen Ran and Chen Long somewhat fearful.

Although there is competition between the two families, they still at least maintain a surface harmony.

If these two acted recklessly, it might indeed lead to a confrontation between the two families, which would be a great sin.

Thinking of this, Ling Yuhua released his powerful aura with authority, coldly saying, "Two young nephews, investigate thoroughly before making a decision, don't let a few words from a petty person ruin the friendship between our two families over many years.

Old Black, please see the guests out!"

Ling Yuhua certainly had to protect Ling Xiao in this matter.

What a joke, once this matter was caught onto, the entire Ling Family would suffer, not just Ling Xiao.

He was strong enough, Chen Ran and Chen Long dared not act rashly.

"Hahaha, Elder Ling is right, absolutely correct! We made a mistake in observation."

Chen Ran laughed heartily, feeling a bit regretful, actually coming without considering this matter thoroughly.

He thought grabbing hold of the Ling Family's weakness, but was too impulsive.

It was definitely a miscalculation.

But it's alright, after returning, just sending a letter to the Eight Immortals County to have someone come and investigate would suffice.

As long as the witness is alive, there is hope to bring down the Ling Family.

The Chen Family Head is the Feather Transformation King of the Chen Dynasty, though just a minor king, still of royal kin.

Now the Mysterious Serpent Envoy is dead, this place becomes unclaimed territory, then their Chen Family can seize this opportunity to grip Yuhua Town.

But before that, the Ling Family must be brought down.

Sooner or later, Yuhua Town will only be left with the Chen Family, no more Ling Family.

"Farewell, Elder Ling."

Chen Ran's eyes had a sinister gleam, but his face was all smiles.

"Wait."

Ling Xiao suddenly stood up, looked at Chen Long, and said, "Chen, did you kill my father Ling Tieshou?"

His sudden question surprised everyone, so direct and straightforward, truly his style.

"Yes, I killed him, so what? That guy Ling Tieshou went crazy from drinking, tried to assassinate me, and was killed by me on the spot, it's just that simple."

Chen Long looked at Ling Xiao, coldly saying, "I have already explained this matter to both family leaders, at that time the Mysterious Serpent Envoy was also present, he testified too.

Humph, for that drunkard, I even paid compensation over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."

Chen Long spoke indifferently, as if he killed not a person but a dog.
