Chapter 730: The Ling Family’s Fourth Young Master. Ling Zhen Reveals His Hand!

A family’s true power still depended on their members and the average power of the family’s men of sacrifice. However, to develop talent, one required time!

With Ling Yun’s abilities, even in a short amount of time, there was no way he could increase the average power of the Ling Family. Hence, he could only use formations and talismans to make up for this incriminating weakness.

After all, Ling Yun still hadn’t mass-produced any pills yet. Another limitation was the lack of resources. Furthermore, he required appropriate facilities to cultivate pills. He wasn’t used to it at all. In the Cultivation World, he had already gotten used to using a cultivation furnace to create pills. Now that he had to use modern equipment like pots and pans to create pills, Ling Yun felt that it was especially hard.

Otherwise, there was no way he would be in such a rush to find out more information about the Tokugawa Clan. He wanted to take the Shennong Cauldron’s lid back as soon as possible.

Of course, using a large pot lid to replace it was possible too. Before he left Qingshui, that was how he created the Shichiyou Pill.

However, Ling Yun wanted to pursue perfection in everything he did. That one time, it was enough for him, but using a large pot lid to cover his precious Shennong Cauldron was thoroughly exasperating.

Ling Yun was just about to talk about the talismans when he suddenly heard a crowd enter by the courtyard entrance. It was Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li. Each of them was fighting to make their entrance known, saying that they wanted to enter.

Tonight, Ling Lie was very satisfied with these three men’s performances. Furthermore, Ling Yun had just returned to recognize his family’s roots. Ling Lie wanted the brothers to deepen their relationships as well. Hence, he smiled and said, “There’s no need to report their presence. Let Ling Yong and the others enter quickly…”

“You brats, wait for me…” Ling Xiu had washed up and changed before she rushed over too.

Ling Xiu was in a huge rush, so she used her abilities. Even though she wasn’t the first to come, she was the first to enter the house. She didn’t enter by the main courtyard entrance. With a leap, her mesmerizing figure flew into the skies, and she entered Ling Lie’s door first. Then, she turned around and smiled proudly at Ling Yong as she stepped into the house.

Currently, it was early July, and it would only get hotter over the next few weeks.

Ling Xiu had changed into a white sleeveless top and hot pants. Her smooth, soft butt extended to her long, slender legs. They were fully exposed, and her beautiful breasts stuck out proudly. Her slender waist emphasized her hot body, which added to her mesmerizing look.

“Big Sister, you’re really beautiful. You’re absolutely stunning…” Ling Yun was very shocked, and he couldn’t help but praise her.

Ling Xiu had white skin that radiated a pink glow. She had a bright, oval-shaped face that was naturally beautiful. With the praise from Ling Yun, her face turned red instantly. However, she only celebrated internally. Glaring at Ling Yun, she whined, “Fifth Brother, you still don’t understand my temperament, do you? I’ll tell you now, quit sucking up to me, or I’ll pinch your ear!”

Ling Yong and the two brothers entered soon after. Once they heard Ling Xiu’s explosion of anger, all of them began to brace themselves. Using both hands, they cupped their own ears and shot looks toward Ling Yun, as if reminding him to watch out.

Once Ling Yun heard this, he laughed aloud. However, Ling Lie coughed lightly before he said, “Xiu Er, after that huge battle, you can do whatever you want. However, this is the Ling Family’s ninth courtyard. We’re right next to the Ling Family’s ancestral halls. In the future, Grandpa won’t allow you to call Yun Er the fifth.”

Ling Lie’s expression was very serious and solemn. “All of you, listen up. After we’ve settled all these matters, I will gather everyone in the Ling Family to take Ling Yun to our ancestral hall. We’ll pay respects to the Ling Family’s ancestors and reacknowledge Ling Yun as part of our family. In your generation, Ling Yun is the fourth oldest!”

“Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, I will leave this matter to the two of you. Ling Yun’s return to the Ling Family is an important matter for us. Nothing can go wrong. Do you understand?”

Ling Zhen and Ling Yue stood up simultaneously. They bowed toward Ling Lie and responded accordingly. Ling Lie nodded in satisfaction as he waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down again.

Ling Yun had officially claimed his position in the Ling Family. As the fourth male heir in the family, he was now the Ling Family’s fourth young master.

Ling Xiu’s round, large eyes glared at her grandfather with resentment. She pouted with her sexy lips, and her gaze and expression were filled with resentment. She mumbled softly, “Damn Grandpa, he always favors the boys…”

Ling Yue furrowed his brows before he chastised her in a deep voice. “Xiu Er, we are at your grandfather’s place. You should have some manners…”

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li began snickering quietly. However, none of them dared to laugh aloud. They covered their mouths as their muffled laughter continued.

Currently, Ling Xiao’s whereabouts were unknown. However, almost everyone else was there, excluding the obvious Eldest Young Master Ling Hao, Ling Xue, and a few other minor individuals.

All of them lowered themselves into a seated position. After chatting for a while, Ling Yun finally brought the main issue to the table.

“Grandpa, the Ling Family’s defenses won’t hold up purely with formations. That’s because formations are fixed. Therefore, I prepared this too…”

Toward the Ling Family, Ling Yun didn’t hide anything. With a flip of his wrist, he took out a bundle of Fire Talismans. Then, he said, “This is the Fire Talisman. It has amazing firepower and is extremely easy to use. When you’re fighting against enemies, if you can put it on your opponents’ body and shout ‘activate’, it’ll come into effect immediately.”

“This is the Gold Talisman… After you use it, you’ll become immune to normal blades. You can even use it as a bulletproof vest…

“This is the Defense Talisman… it has similar effects to the Gold Talisman. If you use both at once, you can amplify their effects!”

Finally, Ling Yun pulled out the Healing Talisman that everyone had already used. He explained the uses and effects clearly. With that, he left Ling Xiu, Ling Yong, and the other two shell-shocked.

How could these four youngsters not be afraid? Especially Ling Yong and Ling Feng. When they were fighting earlier, once they obtained the Healing Talismans, they fought as though they were going to see their last. Attacking non-stop without defense, they even thought the Healing Talisman would make them immortal…

Before Ling Yun left Qingshui, he created so many talismans that they could fill the sea. He created several bundles of each type, leaving a large portion to Qingshui City’s people. He kept ten bundles of each type for himself. Now, he only had one bundle of each type of talisman left for himself. As for the rest, he brought them all out to give away.

“Grandpa, you should distribute these talismans to the most trustworthy people in the Ling Family. In times of emergency, these will definitely be of use!”

“However, I need to emphasize this, this is our Ling Family’s treasure. Even though I can’t assure you that it’s unique, it can pretty much be considered one-of-a-kind. First of all, you can’t use it unless you have no other choice. Another important point is that you can’t circulate these talismans around!”

Ling Yun spoke straightforwardly. He also understood very clearly that nobody in the room was dumb. All of them nodded solemnly.

Ling Lie nodded continuously. He stood up and said this seriously, “All of you, listen up. Anything concerning Ling Yun is top-secret. No matter who it is, as long as a trace of this is leaked out, they will be punished heavily under the Ling Family’s punishment system. There are no exceptions!”

Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, and Cui Lao, as well as the four youngsters, stood up simultaneously. They acknowledged this at once. All of their expressions were serious. However, they also concealed an insuppressible excitement and agitation.

Anyone could tell that after Ling Yun returned, the Ling Family’s power had soared by many folds. It continued to expand, climbing up the stairs of the hierarchy at once. The Ling Family’s day had finally come!

All of this was because of the Ling Family’s brand new hottie, Fourth Young Master Ling Yun!

With those words, Ling Lie stared at Ling Yun and said with concern, “Yun Er, if you give us so many defensive treasures, what are you going to do without them?”

Ling Lie was obviously most worried about Ling Yun’s safety.

Ling Yun smiled in a carefree manner. “Grandfather, rest assured, I still have more here. Anyway, I don’t usually use these…”

After Ling Yun left Qingshui City, other than using a Fire Talisman to scare a few members of the Blood Clan, he used the rest of them to incinerate corpses. Even though he had entered multiple battles consecutively, he hadn’t had to use any of the others yet. Now that he had the Golden Black Devilish Silk to defend himself, there was no need for him to worry about any external injuries. He didn’t even have to use a single Healing Talisman.

Finally, Ling Lie was at ease. “That’s for the best. If that’s the case, Grandpa can rest assured. You have many matters to settle and many responsibilities to take up. You have to protect yourself no matter what. Put yourself before the Ling Family, alright?”

He was really starting to nag. Ling Yun felt thoroughly touched as he nodded seriously. Then, he looked at the crowd and pulled out his Devil’s Blade.

The jet-black blade had a realistic black dragon carved onto its body. Its claws were flexed viciously, and the cold glint of the blade intimidated the crowd. Amidst the dark glint, it gave off an ominous red glow. That was because it had cut down and absorbed far too much fresh blood.

Once he unsheathed the Devil’s Blade, its overwhelming killing intent soaked the room with animosity. All the lights in the room seemed to dim at once.

Staring at this blade, Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, and Ling Yue said nothing as they stood up in shock.

“This is the Devil’s Blade!” Ling Yun waved the Devil’s Blade in his hand before quickly putting it away. He said plainly, “I came across this blade by chance. I’m telling everyone now that you shouldn’t spread this around. Even though I’m not afraid, I’m worried that once news of this gets out, it’ll bring calamity to our Ling Family!”

Ling Lie had heard about it long ago from Cui Lao, so it wasn’t a surprise for Ling Yun to have the Devil’s Blade. However, it wasn’t the same for Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, Ling Xiu, Ling Yong, and the others. All of them stared at it, their jaws dropped.

“Did you hear that? If you did, you’d better hide this inside your stomachs. Anyone who leaks this out will suffer a horrible death!”

Ling Lie’s expression was solemn as he issued a death warning! The consequences here were far too grave!

All of them nodded in shock. Only Ling Zhen couldn’t help but let out an ominous, proud gaze when he lowered his head.

Ling Yun used his divine sense to scan the entire area. He was observing everyone in the room. Naturally, Ling Zhen’s reaction was completely under his supervision. This caused Ling Yun to feel chills in his heart. He raised his guard toward Ling Zhen.

As I expected, there’s something wrong! Ling Yun thought coldly.

Ling Zhen had finally revealed his tail. No matter how much he calculated, he would never have expected that Ling Yun’s divine sense was able to observe everything. Furthermore, he would never have expected Ling Yun to observe each and every person from the moment he stepped into the Ling Family’s residence!

“Grandpa, there are still a few more matters left… it’s better if we resolve these early…”

“Yun Er, if you have something to say, say it. Grandpa will make sure you are treated with justice!”
