Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Ling Family Besieged_1

"I don’t know."

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"How could a young master as smart as Ling Xiao not know? Today, during the grand event at Tianfeng City, you shone brilliantly and defeated Li Xinghui to gain the title of the foremost young master. My father originally planned to betroth me to Li Xinghui, but now he has changed his mind and wishes to betroth me to you. Are you not pleased?"

Shi Yu Lian said with a light laugh.

"To receive favor from Miss Yu Lian is naturally a great honor for Ling Xiao. However, my aspirations lie in the martial arts, and besides, I am only fourteen years old. It is far too early to speak of marriage and betrothal,"

Ling Xiao tactfully declined.

"Humph, an ungrateful wretch."

Suddenly, a gruff voice rang out.

Shi Long appeared in the hall with a young martial artist in tow.

Ling Xiao had seen this young martial artist before; he was one who had infiltrated the smaller families.

"You can leave. Even if you agreed today, I would not consent,"

Shi Long said with a cold sneer as he looked at Ling Xiao, "This young master here is Master Fei Yu, and I have already intended to betroth Yu Lian to him. What are you in comparison? How could my Shi Clan ever take a liking to you?"

In Shi Long’s eyes, his daughter was nothing more than a tool to be utilized.

After witnessing the formidable strength of Fei Yu, he had hurried over.

Before coming, he had already made up his mind; if Ling Xiao agreed, he would find an excuse to send Ling Xiao away.

If Ling Xiao disagreed, then all the better.

Anyway, compared to Fei Yu, a Seventh Layer Martial Master of Martial Pulse, Ling Xiao really amounted to nothing.

"Ling Xiao takes his leave!"

Ling Xiao thought it was amusing; Shi Long’s mind wasn’t sick, was it? It was clearly he who had invited me here, and yet now he speaks such words.

But this was just as well; I really had no intentions of aspiring to the Shi Clan’s daughter.

He stood up, left quickly, and didn’t look back.

Others might value the position of the son-in-law to the Master of Tianfeng City, but he had no interest at all.

There were dozens of cities like Tianfeng City in Baiyun Province, his ambitions were higher and further, not to be confined by this small Tianfeng City.

Watching Ling Xiao leave without a hint of reluctance, Shi Yu Lian felt a tremor in her heart.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that Ling Xiao was somewhat different from the rest.

Although the young man’s strength was not great at the moment, his terrifying potential and his calm and wisdom were incomparable to his peers.

Even some of the old, battle-hardened martial artists would hardly have any advantage over this young man, except in terms of realm.

Was he really just a fourteen-year-old martial artist?

Ling Xiao himself did not realize that ever since he received the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he had been transformed by its subtle influences and was no longer ordinary.

"Father, is it wise to offend him like this?"

Shi Yu Lian asked with concern.

"Don’t worry, Yu Lian. You must not know where Master Fei Yu comes from,"

Shi Long said excitedly, "He is a disciple of the Heavenly Ninja Academy in Baiyun Capital. Do you understand now, why your father wants to betroth you to him?"

"Heavenly Ninja Academy!"

Shi Yu Lian shuddered upon hearing these words.

She had long wanted to study at the Heavenly Ninja Academy, but although she was considered a prodigy in Tianfeng City, outside of it, no one knew of her.

She never had the chance to enter the Heavenly Ninja Academy.

Now, once she married Master Fei Yu, wouldn’t her chances of entering the Heavenly Ninja Academy increase manifold?

"Yu Lian, Master Fei Yu has already agreed to your father, and he will take you away from Tianfeng City to the Heavenly Ninja Academy today. Once you enter there, whether it’s Li Xinghui or Ling Xiao, you will surpass them all,"

Shi Long said with a flush of excitement.

"Yu Lian understands."

Shi Yu Lian quickly forgot about Ling Xiao; all she could see was Master Fei Yu.

A moment later, the Li Clan Chief, Li Yunsheng, also arrived at the Shi Clan’s residence.

Accompanying him were Fei Mu, Fei Liu, and Fei Yun.

"Fei Yun, how are things going on your end?"

Master Fei Yu asked.

As the strongest among the four, he naturally also served as their leader.

"Rejected!"

Fei Yun shook his head.

"The Ling Family actually dared to refuse. Why didn’t you just wipe them out directly? I’ve already annihilated the Wang Clan," Fei Mu said, dissatisfied.

"You don’t understand. The Ling Family is much stronger than the Wang Clan. My power alone is not enough, so I came back to discuss it with you all."

"What’s there to discuss? The Ling Family actually dares not to show loyalty to His Majesty the Nin Emperor. They’re just asking for death! Let’s all four of us go and wipe them out."

Fei Mu was clearly an impulsive person.

"There’s no need to be so drastic. Shi Long, Li Yunsheng, since you have chosen to pledge loyalty to the Ninja Clan, it’s time to do some work on their behalf. I will assign Fei Mu and Fei Yun to join you in eradicating the Ling Family, and I’ll also send a hundred Ninja Guards with all of them being above the Martial Pulse Fifth Level."

Master Fei Yu suddenly said, stroking his chin.

"Shi Long, at your command!"

"Li Yunsheng, at your command!"

They had originally intended to destroy both the Wang Clan and the Ling Family. Now with the Wang Clan wiped out and only the Ling Family remaining, wouldn’t it be easy to crush the Ling Family with the combined forces of their two great families, along with Fei Mu and Fei Yun, and the one hundred Ninja Guards each above the Martial Pulse Fifth Level?

That’s precisely why they accepted the task so readily.

"Fei Mu, Fei Yun, listen up. You can kill anyone from the Ling Family at will. However, try your best to capture Ling Xiao alive if possible. It would be a shame if he died," Fei Yu instructed.

"Understood."

...

The Ling Family.

Ling Xiaotian looked over the assembly of disciples with a face full of worry.

The moment he sent Ling Yun away, he knew the Ling Family was in big trouble.

Ling Xiao had also returned. He silently stood among the crowd, listening to Ling Xiaotian explain the situation.

As a beggar, he originally didn’t have much affection for the Human Sacred Dynasty.

But after all, he was a member of the Human Race.

Just the thought of the Human Race’s territory being divided up by other races made him feel uncomfortable.

He might not fight for the Human Sacred Dynasty, but he must fight for himself, for the territory of the Human Race.

Moreover, he was now a member of the Ling Family.

No matter how Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu schemed and tried to kill him,

And regardless of how the three Elder Supremes looked down upon him,

There was still Second Master Ling, Ling Yihang, Ling Yixue, and Ling Luo, as well as his grandfather Hong Qi.

He couldn’t possibly betray the Ling Family at this moment.

Besides, considering the way Ling Xiaotian did not bow to the Ninja Clan’s threats and refused to become a puppet, he had to stay and fight alongside the old man.

Death was frightening.

But to choose betrayal when faced with danger was far too shameful.

"Everyone, the Human Race is facing a critical moment of national crisis and potential extinction. I, Ling Xiaotian, do not ask you to die with me. Those who wish to leave should do so as soon as possible. I, for one, am determined to share the fate of the Ling Family," Ling Xiaotian declared.

No sooner had Ling Xiaotian finished speaking than his brows suddenly knitted together.

From a distance, a powerful momentum approached.

A dark crowd rushed toward the Ling Family compound.

The figure in the lead, clad in a black cloak and black armor, rode on a horse and leapt, landing directly on the walls of the Ling Family’s compound.

"Hahaha, Ling Xiaotian, you’re so stubborn. Do you really want to make these disciples of the Ling Family accompany you in death?"

"Shi Long!"

Ling Xiaotian glared at the man, his expression dark and uncertain.

"Brother Shi speaks the truth. The wise adapt to new conditions. Why must your insignificant Ling Family persist in opposing the Ninja Clan? Just surrender," another figure said as he appeared beside Shi Long, his clothes moving without any wind.

"Li Yunsheng!"
