Chapter 69

Time flies, time flies, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

In this year, two major events happened in Qingcheng.

The first one is that in the last secret realm, ten elite disciples of the Fang family, including Fang Han, the first genius of the seventh level of qi refining, all died, no one left the secret realm, and the murderer did not know who it was. .

But the head of the Fang family knew very well that in Qingcheng, no one except the Ling family would dare to slaughter the children of the Fang family.

However, everyone in the Ling family refused to admit it, and he didn't have any evidence. In addition, he was not ready to start a full-scale war with the Ling family. Therefore, although he was extremely angry and hated, he could only bear it for the time being. After the harsh words, he hid back to Fang's house in a shriveled state, as if a bigger storm was brewing.

The second major event is that the genius of the Ling family who once shook the entire Qingcheng also died in the secret realm.

Yes, everyone thought that Ling Xian was dead, and the Ling family acquiesced in this matter. Although it was extremely sad, the fact was in front of her eyes, and she had to reluctantly accept the result.

Any creature from the outside world can only stay in the yellow-level secret realm for one month. This is a fact recognized by the entire immortal world. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will be killed by the rules of the secret realm.

And Ling Xian didn't show up for a full year. In the eyes of everyone in the Ling family, apart from dying inside, there could be no second outcome.

In addition, Ling Tianxiang and others have informed Ling Tianqing of everything that happened in the secret realm, including the fact that Ling Xian was chased and killed by the whole secret realm monsters.

In this way, the entire Ling family believed that Ling Xian was dead.

There are tens of thousands of monsters, and there are even four big monsters of the eighth rank. How could Ling Xian, a little monk in the Qi refining stage, escape?

No one believes that he can escape the pursuit of tens of thousands of monsters, let alone that he can withstand the powerful power of the rules of the secret realm.

Except for Ling Tianxiang, maybe because she doesn't want to accept this fact, maybe because Ling Xian has left an invincible mark in her heart. In short, she will go to Qianshan jungle every day, rain or shine, never stop, waiting hard One day, the figure that haunted her in her dreams will appear in front of her.

It's a pity that she waited a full year, but she didn't wait for Ling Xian.

At this moment, Ling Tianxiang's eyes were slightly moist, and she returned to Lingfu from the dense forest of Qianshan. She turned back step by step, turned around three steps, looked at the place where the secret realm was opened, and shed two lines of tears.

"Hey...Ling Xian, you promised me that you would definitely let me see your shining moment. Now that the promise has not been fulfilled, you must not die."

Ling Tianxiang let out a long sigh, then didn't turn around anymore, and strode towards the Ling residence.

In the Ling family conference hall, the three Ling Tianqing brothers were sitting on the chairs, and everyone's face was gloomy, as if they had encountered something troublesome.

After a while, Ling Tianxiang walked into the conference hall, and then sat down without saying a word, with tears still on her pretty face.

"Little sister, have you gone to the dense forest of Qianshan again?" Ling Tianqing looked at Ling Tianxiang, who was pretty and pale, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said, "Hey... why do you think you are suffering? It's been a year, and you still have to With the entire secret realm beasts chasing and killing, even if Ling Xian is extremely talented, he will not be able to withstand this double crisis."

"I know, but I don't want to believe that he is dead." Ling Xian's beautiful eyes darkened. In fact, she knew better than anyone that Ling Xian's chances of surviving were very slim, but she just didn't want to accept the pain that caused her pain. Heartbreaking results.

"You..." Ling Tianqing shook his head helplessly, and consoled: "Forget him, let alone he is dead, even if he is not dead, you can't be with him."

"Brother, don't persuade me, I know all this very well." Ling Tianxiang shook her head slowly, not wanting to continue this topic, and said, "Let's talk about business, I heard that the Fang family has already taken action?"

mention this,

Ling Tianqing's expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "I called you here today to discuss this matter. According to the report I placed in the Fang family's eyeliner, a day ago, Fang Yunsheng, the old bastard, met with the Qi family's patriarch in the secret realm, and It seems that some kind of consensus has been reached, although the content of the conversation is unknown, but it is not difficult to guess, there is only one thing that can make the two families join hands."

"Initiate an attack and annex our Ling family." Ling Tianjiao is cunning like a fox by nature, known as the number one think tank of the Ling family, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said it in one sentence.

"Not bad." Ling Tianqing nodded slightly and said, "Among the three major families, my Ling family has the strongest overall strength, the Fang family is the second, and the Qi family is the weakest, but once the two families join hands and launch an attack, then I will The family has no chance of winning, so I called you here today to brainstorm and discuss countermeasures.”

Hearing this, the other three frowned, thinking about how to deal with it.

Ling Tianjiao pondered for a while and said, "Brother, we can't sit still, although the Fang Qi family may reach a consensus, we still need to fight for the Qi family, or divide the relationship between the two of them, and we must not let the two of them unite smoothly. stand up."

"I also thought of this." Ling Tianqing looked serious and asked the most crucial question: "But if the cooperation between the two cannot be destroyed, how should we deal with it?"

"Then fight for City Lord Ye. Although the Daqin Dynasty clearly prohibits any city owner from interfering in the grievances and grievances of the local family, but as long as we are sincere enough and let him come forward to shock him, there must be no problem." Ling Tianjiao came up with another response. method.

"But this is just a temporary solution, and City Lord Ye is a bit elusive, trying to win him over is not easy." Ling Tianqing smiled bitterly, looked at Ling Tianxiang, and asked, "Little sister, do you have any good ideas? ?"

Ling Tianxiang slowly shook her head and said, "If it really doesn't work, the only way is to fight to the end and fight for a chance."

"There's no way to fight. If the two of them join forces, the gap in strength will be too great. Even if my Ling family has all the information, they will not be an opponent." Ling Tianqing frowned, looked at Ling Tianao again, and said, "Third brother, What about you, any good ideas?"

"I don't have a second brother or a younger sister, what can I do?" Ling Tianao is romantic and spoiled, a typical playboy who often hangs out in brothels and casinos, and is the least promising of the four brothers and sisters. .

Therefore, he is only the third elder, and he does not actually care about any family affairs.

"I knew you wouldn't have any good ideas." Ling Tianqing didn't count on him at all, and just asked casually, but seeing Ling Tianao's condescending appearance, his anger was not at all, and he said angrily: "It's worth it. When this family is in danger, you still have such a cynical attitude, you don't look worried at all, do you want my Ling family to perish?"

Seeing the anger of his beloved eldest brother, Ling Tianao shrank his neck and said with a wry smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? Do you still not know what my temperament is? There is no less love than you, how can you expect my Ling family to perish?"

"Humph!"

Ling Tianqing snorted coldly, ignored this incompetent younger brother, put his eyes on Ling Tianjiao, and said, "Second, is there really no good way?"

"This..." Ling Tianjiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the auction that he heard about, he couldn't help but blurt out: "By the way, eldest brother, I remember that at the auction a year ago, there was a mysterious Qiqiang. You, I specially let you into his box, you can try to find him, if this senior is willing to take action, then this crisis will become an opportunity, just take advantage of the situation to counterattack and swallow the Fang Qi family."

"I think so too, but that senior and I have been together for the rest of our lives. That auction was the first time we met, and I don't know why he named me and Master Fang, and let the two of us meet. Enter his box." Ling Tianqing showed a wry smile, talking about that strange thing, he is still confused, because he is very sure that he has never seen that senior at all, is it because his personality is too charismatic , Even the powerhouses of the alchemy period are favored by themselves?

"So that's the case." Ling Tianjiao sighed softly, thought about it, and said without giving up: "No matter whether you know it or not, eldest brother, you can bring a generous gift and beg the senior to take action. After all, this is our last chance. , then the only way is to fight to the death.”

"I don't know where the senior Shenlong lives. I haven't even heard from him for a year. It doesn't matter if he is still in Qingcheng." Ling Tianqing sighed and said: " Presumably, the Fang family has not seen the whereabouts of that senior for a year, so they have the idea of ​​attacking my Ling family."

Hearing this, Ling Tianjiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, he shook his head, and did not speak.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into dead silence.

The three of them knew the seriousness of the problem, but they couldn't come up with a good way to help the Ling family get through this crisis.

"Anyway, we must not sit still and do it according to the second child's method." Ling Tianqing stood up slowly, looked at Ling Tianjiao, and said solemnly: "The second child, the meeting with the Qi Patriarch is very important, leave it to I don't worry about others, only you can take on this important task. I believe that with your three-inch tongue, even if you can't convince the Qi Patriarch, you can also divide the relationship between him and the Fang family. When the war comes together, if the Qi family is the other party If the family is prepared, then the opportunity for my Ling family will come."

"Patriarch, please rest assured, I will not let you down." Ling Tianjiao nodded his head, his words were sonorous, and he even called Ling Tianqing the patriarch, which shows that he understands the importance of this matter and can feel his determination.

Ling Tianqing patted him on the shoulder, looked at Ling Tianjiao, and said: "Little sister, I know that you have some friendship with the city lord daughter, so I will leave this matter to you, remember not to be under pressure, you can talk to the city lord Ye. Of course it's good, if you can't talk, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself, you know?"

"Patriarch, please rest assured, I will do my best." Ling Tianxiang's pretty face was serious.

"The third, the last thing, I'll leave it to you."

In the end, Ling Tianqing turned his gaze to Ling Tianjiao and said seriously, "You are flamboyant by nature and have no scheming, so I will give you the easiest thing to do, and use your friends to inquire about the senior's news. If you can't find it, it's nothing, but if you find it, then you will be a great hero of the Ling family, and this is about the life and death of my Ling family, so I hope you will restrain your temper and do your best, can you do it?"

"Patriarch, please rest assured, I will do my best to activate all relationships, even if I dig three feet in the ground, I will take a picture of him!" Ling Tianao's eyes were firm and his words were loud.

"Very good, then you can go do it quickly." Ling Tianqing nodded, and after the three of them walked away, he looked at the blue sky outside the window and sighed: "The hexagram that the mysterious old man gave me ten years ago came true. Now, the Ling family is about to face an unprecedented crisis, but it is not a dead end. The hexagram says that at a critical juncture, there will be a talented young man who will turn the tide and save my Ling family from top to bottom. However, the Ling family is dead, so this hexagram will happen again. On whom should it be?"

Ling Tianqing's eyes were complicated, and a hint of powerlessness and sadness suddenly rose in his heart.

The storm is about to come, the hexagrams are fulfilled, where is the savior?
