“Ling Xiao?”

Once Chen Haizhen heard the name, “Ling Xiao”, he suddenly lifted his head and stared at Ling Yun’s face. His jaw dropped further as his gaze reflected more shock with every pa.s.sing moment. He was in greater disbelief than before!

Chen Haizhen suddenly realized that Ling Yun looked far too similar to Ling Xiao!

“Heavens, could it be, you… you… you’re the illegitimate child Ling Xiao had with that wh.o.r.e?”

“Slap!”

It was a loud and resounding slap!

Ling Yun slapped Chen Haizhen mercilessly. Half of Chen Haizhen’s teeth went flying with this swing. Then, he slapped him again with a backhand. The other half of his teeth fell out as well!

Great, Chen Haizhen didn’t understand his place. Perhaps he had gotten used to this over the past 18 years. The moment he spoke, he offended Ling Yun’s entire family of three. That was definitely a deserved hit!

“If you want to die now, I’d be more than happy to give you a hand!” Ling Yun’s eyes glowed ominously with killing intent.

Ling Yun’s two slaps left Chen Haizhen spinning. He saw stars as a loud ringing buzzed in his ears. After a long time, he finally yelped and began to sputter blood and spit out the teeth that had dislodged in his mouth.

“Hahaha…” Chen Haizhen suddenly forgot all about the pain. His eyes flashed with fear, but he broke out into hysterical laughter as his right finger pointed at Ling Yun quiveringly.

“Hahahaha, I was right, wasn’t I? You’re the illegitimate child of Ling Xiao and that wh.o.r.e from the Devil Sect! So, it’s you. Hit me all you want, but no matter what you do, you can’t change the fact that you’re an illegitimate child!

“Not only were you born out of wedlock, but you’re also a person that the entirety of Beijing and China will never accept! Once this matter is exposed to the ancient families and the secluded sects, you’ll turn into a stray dog that everyone will be chasing to kill. You’ll be nothing more than a thug on the street!”

Chen Haizhen’s expression was ferocious. Hate overwhelmed his entire being, and his eyes also revealed a wisp of jealousy. He began to lash out at Ling Yun!

“Bang!”

Ling Yun could only feel hot blood rus.h.i.+ng through his body. His beautiful, peaceful face turned bright red. Before Chen Haizhen could finish his words, Ling Yun lifted his hand and slammed it straight at Chen Haizhen’s chest!

“Go to h.e.l.l!”

With this slap, he released an overwhelming absorption power! It was a terrifying absorption ability!

His magical energy center began to circulate. The Yin-Yang Vortex was finally working. He seemed to go crazy as he used all of his energy on the Yin-Yang Vortex, making it circulate faster and faster. The Yin-Yang Qi that was released from his palm slowly turned into a strong vortex!

“Absorption Technique!” Ling Yun grit his teeth as he uttered each syllable forcefully. Finally, he could use his absorption technique!

“Not good!” Chen Haizhen suddenly felt the Xiantian True Qi in his body leave via a strong current. Or rather, it seemed to be whisked away from him, charging straight toward Ling Yun’s palm!

“Ah!” Chen Haizhen screamed horribly. He was shocked out of his wits. He exclaimed in shock, “What… what power is this?”

“An ability to make you shut your trashy mouth!” Ling Yun grunted coldly as he used all of his energy on the Yin-Yang Vortex. He attempted to circulate his energy center even faster to implement this ability. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t control it!

Chen Haizhen could sense the True Qi that he had cultivated and acc.u.mulated over the years depleting. It was surging towards Ling Yun’s palm, and he couldn’t control it.

He hadn’t reached the late stages of the Xiantian Realm, so his abilities were definitely incomparable to Ling Yun, who was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. Furthermore, Chen Haizhen was heavily injured.

As Ling Yun controlled his energy center, the magnetism of the Yin-Yang Vortex got stronger as well. Soon, Ling Yun’s Yin-Yang Vortex entered Chen Haizhen’s body and ignited all the meridians inside. Spiritual energy no longer flowed according to Chen Haizhen’s thoughts. Instead, it turned into a vortex that surged up his chest, flowing into Ling Yun’s body!

His absorption ability was far too strong!

“Ling Yun, spare me!”

Seeing how all of the Xiantian True Qi he had cultivated with all his might for dozens of years disappear at once, Chen Haizhen finally experienced true pain. Not only was his heart in pain, but this was a pain that was so excruciating that it was far worse than torture!

One had to understand that a Xiantian Realm expert’s Twelve Princ.i.p.al Meridians, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, as well as the spiritual energy inside their energy center, had stopped flowing according to their dictated paths. Instead, they flowed in a terrifying vortex toward a single direction. How much pain would that cause?

It was definitely much more horrifying than a regular cultivation expert going to dust!

“Ah!” Chen Haizhen’s expression turned to horror as he screamed wildly. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Ling Yun as though he were a demon that sp.a.w.ned from h.e.l.l!

“You’re only begging for your life now? Don’t you think it’s too late?” A mocking smile flashed past Ling Yun’s lips. He grunted, “I gave you a chance and warned you nicely, but you chose to spout all that garbage. You chose to act like a big shot. There’s only one end left for you, to live as if you’re dead!”

The current Ling Yun had already adjusted to the energy center’s vortex. That was to say, he had complete control over Chen Haizhen’s body now. The pure Xiantian True Qi he cultivated with all his might had turned into Ling Yun’s!

Within a split second, Ling Yun managed to absorb a large portion of the Xiantian True Qi from Chen Haizhen’s body. After this energy seeped into Ling Yun’s palm, it instantly regenerated into a brand new batch of Yin-Yang True Qi. It continued to flow through Ling Yun’s meridians and energy center, strengthening his Yin-Yang Vortex!

Chen Haizhen fell to Xiantian Realm Level Three from the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five. He had lost all power to retaliate. At this moment, even if he wanted to cut off his meridians or commit suicide by biting his tongue, he couldn’t do it anymore.

That was because his spiritual energy was no longer under his control. Not to mention control, he couldn’t even roll his eyes!

He was better off dead than alive!

Inside the cell, spiritual energy flowed about. With Ling Yun as the core, the spiritual energy around him flowed into his energy center via the Yin-Yang Vortex. It created a large vortex that swirled around Ling Yun, turning into a tornado!

The dirt and sand from the ground flew up instantly, swirling up in a spiral shape from the ground and colliding with the ceiling. Then, it sprayed in all four directions. The entire room presented a horrifying phenomenon as sand and pebbles flew about.

In an instant, Ling Yun absorbed 80% of Chen Haizhen’s cultivation. Chen Haizhen’s realm fell below Houtian Realm Level Seven immediately. He was crying so hard that he wasn’t even shedding tears anymore.

However, as the Xiantian True Qi in Chen Haizhen’s body weakened, the pain he experienced reduced. Even though it was still painful, he could finally talk again.

As Ling Yun absorbed more Xiantian True Qi from Chen Haizhen, Ling Yun’s abilities naturally increased. This time, he obtained lots of benefits, and his expression calmed down gradually.

However, he didn’t let Chen Haizhen go. He continued to absorb his cultivation in spurts. Ling Yun familiarized himself with how he used his energy center to create a vortex. As he did this, he said, “Tell me, where have you hidden my father, Ling Xiao?”

Chen Haizhen’s plans were completely foiled. He was in complete despair. He shook his head. “Ling Xiao is missing. He isn’t related to our Chen Family at all. How would I know where he has hidden himself?”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment. He furrowed his brow. “What?”

Ling Yun could tell whether Chen Haizhen was telling the truth or not. That was because he had already lost all his spirit to fight against Ling Yun. He was entirely defeated. Therefore, the current him was probably telling the truth.

Chen Haizhen’s eyes were lifeless as he muttered, “Our Chen Family didn’t have any evil intentions when we captured Ling Yue. We just wanted to have a discussion with him, to make a deal. After our Chen Family ascended by stepping over the Long Family, we planned to let your Ling Family acknowledge and support us in our position…”

“However, your second uncle remembered that the Long Family still owed the Ling Family a favor. He didn’t agree because of that. That was why we imprisoned him. After our Chen Family defeated the Long Family, we wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to force your grandpa and your uncle to go along with the plan…”

“If you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask your second uncle. Over the past two months, has our Chen Family made life difficult for him at all?”

Chen Haizhen explained the matter clearly and logically. Ling Yun thought about it carefully. When he met his second uncle at the Chen Family’s southern villa, Ling Yue looked completely fine other than feeling under the weather. He was completely unharmed, without any signs of being tortured at all.

Otherwise, how would Ling Yue have been able to return to battle so quickly once he returned to the Ling Family?

“Then why did your Chen Family attack my Ling Family in an attempt to wipe us out?” Ling Yun asked in a deep voice.

Chen Haizhen turned his head and stared dryly at Ling Yun. With a grunt, he said, “Our Chen Family hadn’t even made a move yet, but you came to our home and killed over a hundred cultivators. If our Chen Family didn’t take revenge for them, why would those sects support us in the future?”

“Anyway, your second uncle wasn’t saved by you. With the meager influence of your Ling Family, our Chen Family wouldn’t take it seriously. Therefore, we didn’t bother your Ling Family. However, after he left, things changed. Seeing your grandpa look like he was filled with grat.i.tude toward the Long Family, he would definitely report this matter to them. When that time came, our Chen Family would be unprepared. How could we achieve anything like that?”

“In order to rise through the ranks, your Chen Family was willing to put everything at stake. You even sent Chen Jianwei to America to become part of the Blood Clan, bringing tons of Blood Clan members back. The first thing you did was send them to eliminate the Cao Family, then my Ling Family. Is rising through the ranks really that important to you?” Ling Yun asked this angrily!

“I admit, your abilities are strong. You are indeed a top-tier genius in this world. However, you’re nothing more than a small child. What do you know?

“The Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book have appeared. In no time, China will experience a terrifying tribulation. All of the strong families are fighting to save themselves now, and they’re hoping to raise their ranks in the process.

“We, the Chen Family, have been around for so many years. Why can’t we take this chance to fight for ourselves?”

Until the very end, Chen Haizhen didn’t hold an ounce of humility or regret in his att.i.tude. Instead, his expression was contrived. That was because he knew that no matter how much the Chen Family fought, the dispute between the families was something he couldn’t discuss any longer.
