Ling Xiao didn't show any mercy and struck Lao Langqiang's head with a rod.
Although Lao Langqiang had the Dark Protection Force to offset half of Ling Xiao's strength, he still let out a blood-curdling scream and was knocked to the ground.
Ling Xiao didn't show any mercy and took the opportunity to strike Lao Langqiang's limbs.
Kacha kacha!
Ah!
The ear-piercing sound of bones breaking and painful cries rang out.
For a moment, everyone looked in Ling Xiao's direction.
The Lao Clan elders were all dumbfounded.
Lao Langqiang was the strongest in the 21st generation of the Lao Clan and was already a peak Spirit Master. However, he was crippled by a young man who wasn't even 20 and was only a middle stage Spirit Master.
Ling Xiao stepped on Lao Langqiang and pointed the rod at his head. He said to the Lao Clan elders, "If anyone dares to move again, I'll kill him immediately."
Ling Xiao displayed an imposing aura filled with killing intent, suppressing the Lao Clan elders to the point that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Although Lao Langqiang wasn't the current clan leader of the Lao Clan, he was deeply loved by the two ancestors of the Lao Clan. This was because the two ancestors firmly believed that Lao Langqiang would be their future successor. He was the fastest genius to break through to the King Level in the 21st generation of the Lao Clan. He was only in his early fifties, but he was already a peak Spirit Master. Breaking through to the King Level was a sure thing.
As long as Lao Langqiang broke through to the King Level, the Lao Clan would still be in charge of Burning Ground City for the next few hundred years. The Lao Clan would continue to flourish like this.
However, the future King Level expert of the Lao Clan had his limbs broken and stepped on by a young man. This was simply a slap to the Lao Clan's face.
An elder of the Lao Clan stood up and said faintly, "Although you are a disciple of the Purple Sky Sect, it seems that you've gone too far to treat an elder of the Lao Clan like this. Our Lao Clan and the Purple Sky Sect are close neighbors, and our relationship has been good for a thousand years. As long as our clan leader asks your sect leader, I'm afraid that your position as an inner disciple will come to an end."
"Hehe, I'm going too far?
As soon as I entered the city, people from your Lao Clan came to find trouble with me one after another. It is already merciful of me to not kill him. Since you said that your Lao Clan has been on good terms with the sect for thousands of years, I will definitely report the truth when I return to the sect. Your Lao Clan is so awe-inspiring! "Ling Xiao sneered.
The Lao family is on good terms with Qiannian?
What a joke. The Purple Sky Sect was in charge of dozens of cities, including the current Burning Ground City. It could be said that all of them were under the jurisdiction of the Purple Sky Sect.
However, the Lao Family was closest to the Purple Sky Sect, and every year, they gave a lot of things to the Purple Sky Sect, so every time the Purple Sky Sect recruited outer sect disciples, they would give the Lao Family one more spot.
How could a big sect be on equal footing with the Lao Family? Wouldn't that be a loss of face for the Purple Sky Sect?
The Lao Family Elder had only said that to scare Ling Xiao.
However, how smart was Ling Xiao? How could he be fooled?
The Lao Family Elder's expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "Then what do you want for you to let him go?"
"Simple, let him go first," Ling Xiao said as he pointed at Xuan Yao.
"No problem," the Lao Family Elder replied.
Xuan Yao wasn't delicate at all. He cupped his hands towards Ling Xiao and said, "Brother Ling, take care. This time, we haven't drunk to our heart's content. The next time we meet, we must drink to our heart's content."
"Of course, Brother Yao, you go first," Ling Xiao replied.
Xuan Yao nodded, and with a few leaps, he disappeared in front of everyone.
"Alright, he's already been released. You can let him go now," the Lao Family Elder said.
"Although he left, I haven't," Ling Xiao said.
"You want to go back on your word?" The Lao Family Elder immediately became alert, as if he would immediately pounce on Ling Xiao the moment he moved.
"Of course not. I, Ling Xiao, am a man of my words. I naturally won't go back on my word." Ling Xiao waved his hand, then grabbed the unconscious Lao Langqiang and threw him towards the Lao Family Elder.
At the same time, the other Lao Family Elders moved.
Each of them pounced towards Ling Xiao.
Unfortunately, when they pounced over, Ling Xiao only left behind an afterimage. His real body was already a thousand meters away.
"What a fast speed. Qianli, quickly catch up to him. Don't let him escape. I'll go back and report to the Patriarch and have him ask the Patriarch to come out and make a decision," the Lao Family Elder who caught Lao Langqiang said to another elder.
That elder responded with a "yes," and his entire body turned into an afterimage as he disappeared.
"Everyone go back," the Lao Family Elder said to everyone, then carried Lao Langqiang back in the direction they came from.
The others knew that they couldn't catch up to the other party's speed, so they could only nod and return in the direction they came from.
Only Chai Shao and Hu Qiao went to save Fourteenth Young Master Lao Feiyang from the ruins.
Lao Feiyang had been smashed quite badly. There were many injuries on his body, and his aura was extremely weak.
Chai Shao sighed and said, "Second Brother, feed Fourteenth Young Master two pills first."
Hu Qiao nodded and forced two pills into Lao Feiyang's hands.
At this time, the two of them carried Lao Feiyang back to the Lao Family.
… …
Ling Xiao had the wind attribute, so his running speed was extremely fast.
However, the person chasing him wasn't any slower than him. This was because he was also a high stage Spirit Master, and one with the wind attribute at that.
"You have some skill. Let's see how long you can chase me for." Ling Xiao could naturally sense that someone was chasing him, so he increased his speed.
The Lao family elder, who was chasing after Ling Xiao, cursed in his heart, "How can this kid run so fast?"
His strength was a level higher than Ling Xiao's, but he still couldn't close the distance between him and Ling Xiao.
The two of them raced on the official road like two bolts of lightning. With a whoosh, they disappeared without a trace.
This caused the passersby on the official road to be astonished.
They only heard the sound of the wind, but they didn't see anything pass by. They all muttered in their hearts, "What the f * ck."
The two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed for six hours. They had already left Burning Ground City far behind them.
Ling Xiao arrived in front of a barren mountain, and without a second thought, plunged into it.
The Lao Family Elder didn't hesitate and followed Ling Xiao's footsteps into the barren mountain.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered the barren mountain, Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the approaching Lao Family Elder and sneered, "You really have guts to dare come here alone."
When the Lao Family Elder saw that Ling Xiao had stopped, he didn't dare to chase too closely and stopped a hundred meters behind Ling Xiao.
He could even cripple Lao Langqiang, so what right did he have to fight with him?
Moreover, his mission was only to chase after this young man and not let him escape. There was no need for him to risk his life.
Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the Lao Family Elder and said, "I'm not running anymore, why aren't you coming over?"
The Lao Family Elder couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw Ling Xiao walking over. He couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.
"I say, old man, you must be tired after accompanying me for such a long journey. Why don't we sit down and rest first, and then we can run together later?" Ling Xiao said with a twist of the topic.
As the Lao Family Elder retreated, he laughed dryly and said, "Alright, alright, then let's rest for a while."
At this moment, Ling Xiao dashed towards him from where he stood.
The Lao Family Elder was already prepared and immediately turned around to escape.
However, all of a sudden, he felt a pain in his head and his entire body fell to the ground.
He saw that there were no wounds on his body, but his aura was completely cut off.
Ling Xiao went forward and took out all the valuable items on his body. Then, he ran out with the Golden Wolf King and began to run towards the sect with all his might.
… ….
In the cabinet of the Lao Family in Burning Earth City, all the direct descendants of the elders were present.
The dignified old man sitting at the head of the table looked at Lao Langqiang who was lying in the hall and said with a hoarse voice, "Who did it?"
This person was the current Patriarch of the Lao Family, Lao Langhua. He had the strength of a middle stage Spirit Master.
In the Lao Family, the Patriarch was just a steward. It wasn't just because he was strong that he could become the Patriarch.
The reason why he was able to become the current Patriarch of the Lao Family was because he was the boss of the 21st generation of the Lao Family. The other reason was because his management ability and adaptability were the best.
Although Lao Langqiang was stronger than him, he was too impulsive and wasn't suited to be the Patriarch.
The elder who carried Lao Langqiang back respectfully said, "The Third Elder was injured by an inner disciple of the Purple Sky Sect. I have already sent Elder Qian Li to chase after him."
"Tell me the whole story first." Lao Langhua didn't immediately send people to chase after the culprit, but he first understood the situation. It could be seen that he was a very cautious person.
Following that, the guard captain who had received Ling Xiao's gold coins was brought over.
The guard captain knelt in the hall, his body trembling as he told the whole story.
After that, Hu Qiao briefly explained what happened to Lao Langhua.
Lao Langhua, who was sitting at the head of the table, slammed the table and said angrily, "Bastard! Men, expel this trash Lao Feiyang from the family!"
"Patriarch, please calm your anger. Fei Yang, he … he's just a child. He doesn't understand anything. Please ask him." An elder immediately knelt down and spoke on behalf of Lao Feiyang.
This person was Lao Feiyang's grandfather, and also Lao Langhua's younger brother, Lao Qiangmin.
"Seventh Elder, look at how the Third Elder has become. This is all your grandson's fault. If the Ancestor were to find out, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as expelling him from the sect." Lao Langhua coldly said.
"Clan … Patriarch is right. I … I'll expel that unfilial son from the family." When Lao Qiangmin heard the words "Ancestor", his body couldn't help but shiver, and he no longer dared to speak up for his grandson.
"En." Lao Langhua responded, then said, "Elder Tan, please examine the Third Elder's injuries."
An old man sitting on Lao Lang Hua's left slowly stood up. He responded softly and walked toward Lao Lang Qiang.
This person was called Tan Quan, and he was a third rank alchemist in Burning Ground City. At the same time, he was also a consecrated elder of the Lao family, and his authority in the Lao family was no less than that of a direct descendant elder.
Tan Quan seriously examined Lao Langqiang's body, then lightly said, "The Third Elder has been crippled!"
