Ling Cang and Li Xu left together, but Ling Xiao didn't follow immediately. His expression was solemn, and he was in a terrible mood.
"Ling Xiao, let's go back with the family head," Ling Feng said.
"Yes, we swear to live and die with the family," Ling Yong agreed.
"Yes, let's go back and let those bastards from the Li and Lan families know the consequences of offending our Ling family."
"Kill! We swear to live and die with the family!"
…
The seven members of the younger generation of the Ling Family were all brimming with killing intent. They did not retreat in the slightest even though the Ling Family was in danger. From this, it could be seen how much they valued their sense of belonging to the Ling Family. Perhaps they also knew that once the Ling Family was taken over by the Li and Lan Families, they would become homeless.
"Ling Feng, take everyone and escape," Ling Xiao said quietly.
"What? Do you think I, Ling Feng, am afraid of death?" Ling Feng shouted at Ling Xiao, clutching his wound.
He felt that Ling Xiao's words were insulting him.
"That's not what I meant. I think you're just going to die if you go back. This time, the Li and Lan families sent out all their elites, and they'll definitely uproot our Ling family. You have to live and avenge the family in the future," Ling Xiao said calmly. He realized that Ling Feng wasn't a bad person.
"If the family is gone, what's the point of living?" Ling Feng was still stubborn.
"Yes, Ling Xiao, don't say anymore. Let's all go back together. Killing one isn't a loss, and killing two is enough," Ling Yong said.
"Enough! If you all die, who will avenge the family in the future?" Ling Xiao shouted angrily. "I'll go back alone. I'll kill whoever follows me. Where's Lone Eagle?"
"Lone Eagle is here," Lone Eagle answered.
"Take Yuxi and leave. You must protect her. If I don't die, I'll definitely come back for you," Ling Xiao said quietly.
"No … Young Master, I won't go … I want to be with Young Master," Bai Yuxi said as she threw herself into Ling Xiao's arms with tears streaming down her face.
Ling Xiao sighed softly, stroked her hair with one hand, and then lightly touched the back of her neck, knocking her out and handing her over to Lone Eagle.
Following that, Ling Xiao glanced at the Leng Snake siblings and said, "Big Brother Leng, Big Sister Dai'er, take care."
With that, Ling Xiao jumped onto the Fire Qilin's back and flew back in the direction of his family.
The Golden Wolf King followed Ling Xiao.
"Ling Feng, let's go back together." Ling Yong looked at Ling Xiao, who had no intention of going back. His eyes were a little wet.
As expected of a man from the Ling Family!
Ling Feng was silent for a moment, then a resolute look flashed in his eyes as he said, "Ling Xiao is right, we must leave immediately and come back in the future when we have the strength."
With that, he turned around and walked out of the city with his heavily injured body.
Ling Yong hesitated for a moment, then looked at the people behind him and gritted his teeth, "Let's go. When we return to Meteorite City, we will definitely massacre the Li and Lan Family's bastards."
At this moment, they knew that they would only be a burden if they stayed. Not only would they not be of any help, but they would also die for nothing. It was not worth it.
Only by leaving and escaping from the Li and Lan Family's pursuit would they have a chance to take revenge in the future.
At this time, Lone Eagle handed Bai Yuxi to Wei Daier and said, "Wei Daier, take care of Miss Yuxi. I have to go back to help Young Master."
Leng Snake looked at Lone Eagle's disappearing figure and said indifferently, "What a man. Let's go, we won't be of much help even if we go back."
Wei Daier looked in the direction Ling Xiao had left, and her eyes became moist.
…
Ling Xiao sat on the prodigal's body and directly flew back to the family. However, he did not go to the Inner Cabinet, but to his parents. In the entire Ling Family, the only people Ling Xiao cared about were his own family members. He did not have the mood to care about the lives and deaths of the others.
People were always selfish, and Ling Xiao was no exception. Before any righteous cause, he still had to take care of his family members first.
"Father, Mother, you have to hold on," Ling Xiao prayed non-stop.
In his previous life, he was an orphan. In this life, he had the love and care of his family. Of course, he did not want that warm feeling to disappear.
The prodigal's speed was very fast. In just a few blinks of an eye, he had arrived in the sky above his home.
Ling Xiao did not take the risk to go down. Instead, he looked down from the sky and observed the situation below. He wanted to see the situation clearly before killing the enemy and saving the people.
However, what surprised Ling Xiao was that the Ling Family's elites were gathered in their courtyard. The Five Elements Envoy, the 24 Tiger Guards, and more than ten attendants were all here.
At this moment, his uncle Ling Yuan and a Tiger Guard were fighting with three martial artists from the Li and Lan Families.
In half a year, Ling Yuan had successfully broken through to become a low-level Soul Master. His strength was not what it used to be. The one fighting alongside his uncle was the head of the Tiger Guards, Hu Yi. He was also a low-level Soul Master. On the Li and Lan Families' side, there were also three low-level Soul Masters. Behind them were dozens of Mystic cultivators.
This must be where the elites of both sides were. The Ling Family's inner yard was where the true heavyweights were fighting.
"The commander of the Tiger Guards actually has some skill. However, your limelight ends here!" A fire-type martial artist from the Li Family waved a pair of hooks in his hands and attacked Ling Yuan.
Although Ling Yuan's strength was similar to his opponent's, he was fighting one against two. Moreover, his element was countered by his opponent. He was about to be injured by the two flames.
Ling Xiao, who was in mid-air, did not dare to hesitate. He commanded the prodigal to dive down. The Fiery Sword in his hand slashed at the Li Family martial artist.
Poof!
The prodigal's speed was extremely fast. Before the Li Family martial artist could react, he was cut in half by Ling Xiao's sword.
This sneak attack was definitely unexpected. Who would have thought that there would still be people in mid-air?
The two low-level Soul Masters from the Li and Lan Families were shocked and immediately retreated.
"Xiao Er!" Ling Yuan called out in surprise when he saw who it was.
"Uncle, don't say anything. Grandpa has already rushed back to the inner yard. Let's work together and get rid of these scum first!" Ling Xiao jumped up from the prodigal's body and said.
"Okay, kill them!"
Ling Yuan had just been surrounded and beaten by the two of them. Right now, the other side only had two low-level Soul Masters. He and Hu Yi were also Soul Masters. In a one-on-one fight, he was completely confident that he could get rid of these two.
"Prodigal, kill them all!" Ling Xiao ordered the Fire Qilin.
The prodigal didn't kill Li Qianzhong just now and was very angry. He felt that he had lost face in front of Ling Xiao. This time, he gathered his strength and opened his mouth wide. A pillar of fire shot towards the Mystic cultivators from the Li and Lan Families.
The speed of the pillar of fire was very fast and the fire was very strong. Some of the Li and Lan Families couldn't react in time and were caught in the fire. They screamed as they burned.
On the other side, the Five Element Envoys, Twenty Four Tiger Guards, and Ling Family Deacons gathered at Ling Xiao's house were roused. They charged towards the Li and Lan Families together.
Ling Yuan and Hu Yi once again faced the two low-level Soul Masters.
Ling Xiao waited on the side for an opportunity. He knew that as long as he got rid of one more low-level Soul Master, his side would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.
At this time, the Golden Wolf King rushed over. Behind it, there were a dozen poison men chasing after it.
With the arrival of the Golden Wolf King, Ling Xiao didn't think much. He immediately commanded the Golden Wolf King to pounce towards the Li and Lan Family Spirit Level cultivators. He brandished the Burning Flame Sword and charged into the Mystic cultivators of the Li and Lan Families. Relying on the speed of the wind attribute and the power of the profound weapon, he was like a wolf in a flock of sheep. Everywhere he went, someone was immediately cut in half, killing them until they were terrified.
Not long after, under the slaughter of Ling Xiao, the Fire Qilin, and the elites of the Ling Family, not a single one of the Li and Lan Family Deacons could escape. The poison men were also beheaded by Ling Xiao. They couldn't be more dead.
As for the two Spirit Masters, they wanted to run when they saw that the situation was over. But under the speed of the Golden Wolf King, not one of them could escape.
After a round of killing, the front of Ling Xiao's house was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river. The scene was as terrifying as hell.
"Xiao 'er, have you seen the Grand Elder?" Ling Yuan asked Ling Xiao after taking a few pills.
This time, they all retreated to the side of Ling Xiao's house. This was all planned by Ling Cang. Ling Cang felt that in times of danger, the Grand Elder would help out on account of Ling Xiao. Unfortunately, no one knew that the Grand Elder was fighting outside the city, and his life was uncertain.
"Uncle, I haven't seen the Old Master in a while. Could it be …" Ling Xiao answered, but he couldn't help but guess.
If it wasn't for the Grand Elder, would the Li and Lan Families really dare to attack?
For a moment, Ling Yuan's expression became serious.
"Commander, let's go and support the Clan Leader and the Elders," Hu Yi said.
"The Li and Lan Families are all out. Even if we go, we won't be able to help. But even if we die, I'll drag a few of them down with me," Ling Yuan said faintly. He then patted Ling Xiao's shoulder and said, "Xiao 'er, the family will be relying on you in the future."
With that, Ling Yuan and Hu Yi rushed towards the inner courtyard.
Ling Xiao didn't try to stop them because they all had the strength of a Spirit Master. At the very least, they could be of help.
"Everyone, come with me. Let's kill those bastards from the Li and Lan Families!" Ling Xiao shouted and then rushed towards the direction of the battle.
Other than the Spirit Masters, there were also many Enforcers and guards. There were also the Poison Men. These people were responsible for killing the Ling Family's guards and the Ling Family's members.
Ling Xiao knew that he wouldn't be of much help if he went to the Inner Pavilion, but it was more than enough to kill the Enforcers from the Li and Lan Families.
The Five Elements Envoys, the Twenty-Four Tiger Guards, and some of the Ling Family's Enforcers heard Ling Xiao's words. They all left to kill the enemies.
Ling Zhan, who was in the house, also wanted to go out and kill the enemies, but he was held back by Meng Xiyun.
"Xiyun, let go of me. As a member of the Ling Family, how can I just watch as the family is destroyed?" Ling Zhan said passionately.
"Brother Zhan, how could I not know what you're thinking? But the people they're sending out are all Mystic Realm experts. You're just a Xuan Practitioner, what else can you do other than die?" Meng Xiyun advised.
"But … but if I stay here and do nothing, how am I any different from a coward?" Ling Zhan said guiltily.
"No, Brother Zhan, although we can't participate in the battle, we can take care of the injured members of the family. It can be considered as doing our part." Meng Xiyun said.
"Ai, damn it. If I recover my strength, I'll definitely kill them all." Ling Zhan threw his spear to the side and said dejectedly.
