In half a day's time, the Li and Lan Families were completely annihilated by the Ling Family.
There were thousands of people in the two families, but not a single one survived.
Killing without mercy, one must pull up weeds by the roots.
Otherwise, who knew what kind of disaster would be left behind in the future?
After this battle, the status of the Ling Family reached an unprecedented peak. Many small and medium-sized families expressed their desire to form an alliance with the Ling Family. The patriarchs or acting elders of these families brought gifts to congratulate the Ling Family. This was because the Ling Family had a King Level powerhouse who was like the sun at high noon. This made them have no choice but to bow their heads in submission to avoid suffering the same fate as the Li and Lan Families in the future.
As for the Luo Family, Luo Xiangming personally came to congratulate and apologize. He also mentioned to Ling Cang that Luo Qingshuang should marry Ling Xiao so that the two families could form an alliance.
Ling Cang did not give Luo Xiangming a clear answer.
After all, Luo Xiangming's stance was not firm enough. If he had chosen to help the Ling Family, perhaps Ling Cang would have agreed without hesitation.
Luo Xiangming knew that he had missed the opportunity to form an alliance with the Ling Family during the Clans Tournament, but he did not regret his decision. After all, it concerned the survival of the Ling Family, and he did not dare to make the decision on his own.
However, he did not give up on the opportunity to form an alliance with the Ling Family. He had heard from his wife that there was a mysterious second or third rank alchemist behind Ling Xiao.
Luo Xiangming regretted his decision. If he had known that Ling Xiao had such a master alchemist behind him, he would have helped the Ling Family that day.
Regret was regret, but he was even more determined to form an alliance with the Ling Family through marriage.
Thus, he personally talked to his granddaughter, Luo Qingshuang. He knew that his granddaughter loved Ling Xiao to the core, and so he encouraged his granddaughter to work hard to control her own happiness.
Luo Qingshuang, of course, knew what her grandfather was thinking. However, she truly loved Ling Xiao. Even if her grandfather did not agree, she was determined to marry no one but Ling Xiao.
Recently, Luo Qingshuang had visited the Ling Family many times. The guards of the Ling Family also knew that this young lady of the Luo Family had a close relationship with Young Master Ling Xiao, so she was able to enter Ling Xiao's house without any obstructions.
The status of Ling Xiao's family was different now. Because the inner courtyard had been destroyed, the Ling family had begun to rebuild it. So, Ling Xiao's family was directly integrated into the inner courtyard.
In other words, Ling Xiao's family had the same status as the other elders in the inner courtyard, and Ling Xiao was no longer an attendant. Instead, he was directly nominated as the fourteenth elder.
The original seventh and eighth elders had died in battle. The ninth elder, Ling Fu, was promoted to the seventh elder, Ling Yuan was promoted to the eighth elder, Hu Yi was promoted to the ninth elder, and the tenth to thirteenth elders were the four Spirit Masters that Ling Cang had secretly trained. Ling Xiao was the fourteenth elder.
Normally, in order to become an elder, one had to be at least a Spirit Master. As for why Ling Xiao was able to become an elder, this puzzled everyone.
At first, everyone thought that it was the arrangement of the Grand Elder, but when Clan Leader Ling Cang announced that Ling Xiao was still a Second Tier Alchemist, everyone was shocked.
Their Ling Family actually had such an alchemist. This was too unbelievable.
Although their Ling Family had produced a Third Tier Alchemist a few hundred years ago, there was no one to inherit his legacy. Even in recent generations, there had not been an alchemist.
They had no idea who Ling Xiao's master was. To be able to become a Second Tier Alchemist at such a young age, didn't that mean that Yuan Ping, a Second Tier Alchemist in the Spirit Herb Hall, who was almost sixty years old, would have to go bang his head against a wall and die?
Because of this, many people did not believe that Ling Xiao was really an alchemist.
However, today, they had a chance to see if Ling Xiao was a real or fake alchemist.
In three days, Ling Xiao would personally perform alchemy in the Inner Courtyard.
For this alchemy, the Ling Family had invited some of the more famous elders in Meteorite City to observe.
This could be considered as the Ling Family's first public display after the war. It was to strengthen the Ling Family's current prestige and let others know that the Ling Family not only had a King Level Expert, but also an alchemist. Now, they were fully deserving of being the overlord of Meteorite City.
Although the alchemy this time was not made public to the commoners, everyone outside of Meteorite City knew about it.
"Have you heard? Young Master Ling Xiao of the Ling Family is a Second Tier Alchemist. In three days, he will personally perform alchemy in the Ling Family."
"That's impossible. How old is Young Master Ling Xiao? If he's already a Second Tier Alchemist at eighteen, then that Master Yuan of the Spirit Herb Hall should go bang his head against a wall and die."
"I don't believe it either, but it was said by a friend of mine who is a guard of the Ling Family. I believe he wouldn't lie to me."
"That's hard to say. But now that the Ling Family's Supreme Elder has become a King Level Super Expert, Meteorite City will be the Ling Family's world in the future. The Luo Family can only bow down to them."
"That's true."
…
In Ling Xiao's house.
Today, Ling Xiao's house was allocated a very spacious courtyard. The layout of the courtyard was many times better than the previous house.
Pavilions, fake rocks, flowing water, and a quiet bamboo forest made the whole courtyard look grand and elegant.
The Ling Family had spent a lot of money and hired all the construction workers in the city to build it in half a month.
This kind of courtyard could only be lived in by people at the elder level.
At this moment, Ling Xiao was in his room studying the Green Level Profound Skill, Raging Flame Finger, which he had obtained from the Li Family.
When Ling Xiao and the Supreme Elder went to destroy the Li Family, they also confiscated all the Li Family's heritage. Profound Skills, Weapons, Spirit Herbs … everything of value was confiscated.
Ling Xiao naturally picked out some of the good things and handed the rest to the family for confiscation.
Among the good things that Ling Xiao had "embezzled" was naturally the Green Level Profound Skill, "Raging Flame Finger".
In Meteorite City, there were only a handful of Green Level Profound Skills, which was enough to show the preciousness and value of Green Level Profound Skills.
Ling Xiao had seen Li Yan use it during the Family Competition. Its power was comparable to the "Solitary Yang Finger" from his previous life, so the two should have the same effect.
If he could master this "Raging Flame Finger", he would have another Xuan skill to rely on. Moreover, the power of this Raging Flame Finger was extraordinary. If he was caught off guard, he would definitely be able to kill someone of a higher level.
"This Raging Flame Finger mainly uses the whole body's Profound Energy to concentrate on one finger, and then forces it out to release the attack, achieving an unexpected effect. It looks very simple, but it is not so simple to cultivate." Ling Xiao mumbled to himself as he kept the scroll that recorded the Profound Skill. At the same time, he also circulated his Profound Energy and concentrated it on his index finger.
Xiu!
A small flame shot out. Unfortunately, this flame could not be as concentrated as Li Yan's Raging Flame Finger. Moreover, the power and speed were worlds apart.
This finger of his could only be said to be an ordinary move to release Profound Energy, so it did not have much lethality.
Ling Xiao knew that to cultivate the Raging Flame Finger, it was not something that could be cultivated in a day and night. First, he had to strengthen his index finger so that it could withstand more Profound Energy. Only then would he be able to activate a strong attribute attack.
Now, Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to cultivate this finger technique. After all, there was still half a month before he would leave Meteor City for the Purple Sky Sect. In the remaining time, he had to spend with his family.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to leave the room, he heard a knock on the door.
"Young Master, Miss Luo is here!" Lone Eagle's voice sounded outside the room.
Ling Xiao opened the door and saw Luo Qingshuang, Bai Yuxi, and Wei Daier chatting together.
Half a month ago, when the Li and Lan families attacked the Ling Family, Ling Xiao entrusted Bai Yuxi to Lone Eagle, and Lone Eagle handed her over to Wei Daier. After the Li and Lan families were destroyed by the Ling Family, the Cold Snake siblings brought Bai Yuxi back. In fact, they had been hiding in Meteor City and had not left at all.
In addition, Ling Feng and the others who went to participate in the Family Competition also returned to their families after hearing the news of the Li and Lan families being destroyed.
Ling Xiao was very happy to see the three girls getting along so well. If the three of them were like water and fire, then he would really be in trouble.
When Luo Qingshuang saw Ling Xiao come out, she immediately smiled and greeted him, "Brother Xiao!"
Ling Xiao touched Luo Qingshuang's head and said, "Shuang 'er, you might as well move in and be my personal maid like Yuxi. That would save you the trouble of running around."
"Brother Xiao, is Shuang 'er really not qualified to be your wife? If you really think that Shuang' er has done something wrong, you can tell me. I can change." Luo Qingshuang's beautiful eyes were filled with a faint mist as she looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt pain for no reason, and he immediately held her slender waist and said softly, "Shuang 'er, to tell you the truth, Brother Xiao is not a good man. I like Yuxi, Dai' er, and you, and I can't bear to part with anyone. In my heart, you are all my good women, but I have no plans to start a family. Moreover, you know that in half a month I will go to the Purple Sky Sect, and I don't know when I will be back."
"No matter when you come back, we will wait for you." Wei Daier and Bai Yuxi walked over and said firmly.
Bai Yuxi nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister Dai 'er is right. No matter when you come back, we will wait for you."
Seeing that the three women were so determined, Ling Xiao's heart was filled with a strong reluctance. However, he had a higher goal in his heart to pursue, so naturally, he would not give up because of this.
Awake to wield the power of the world, drunk to lie on the knees of beauties!
When the day came that he became stronger and established his own force, he believed that he would not be separated from them again.
At night, the cool breeze was like water.
Ling Xiao jumped onto the roof and looked at the beautiful moon in the night sky, his mind was filled with thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Daier, who was wearing a light gauze dress that was as thin as a cicada's wings, sat beside him.
The faint fragrance of a woman made Ling Xiao feel intoxicated.
Ling Xiao squinted his eyes as he looked at the calf, and swallowed his saliva, "Sister Dai 'er, you are tempting me to commit a crime, do you know that?"
Wei Daier glanced at Ling Xiao flirtatiously, then gently leaned her head on Ling Xiao's shoulder and said, "I like it when you call me Dai 'er, I don't want to be your sister."
"Then what do you want to do with me?" Ling Xiao asked. With Wei Daier leaning on him, his body started to heat up.
"I want to be your woman." Wei Daier said faintly, her delicate hands tightly hugging Ling Xiao's waist, her soft breasts pressing tightly against Ling Xiao's body.
For a moment, Ling Xiao's beast blood was boiling.
