Chapter 323 (2/2)

”Pa pa…” Old Madam Ling suddenly began to clap. ”What a good Tian'er! What resolute decisions! To think that he left such a resolute order before he left! He is indeed my good grandson! If that's the case, Chen'er, what are you waiting for? Give the command. If anyone dares to disobey your commands, this old lady will be the first to take care of him! No, this old lady doesn't even need to do anything. We will follow what Tian'er said and kill without mercy!”

Old Madam Ling was the one who held onto the true authority of the Ling Family for decades after all. How could she not know what was the most important thing at the present? Even though she was also dissatisfied with Ling Dian killing Wu Yong, she had to admit that Ling Dian's actions were without fault! After all, both Duke Ling and herself were old, and energy was a huge problem for them. Thus, the best method available was to suppress all objections with thunder-like methods to ensure that their troops could be deployed promptly in such a scenario! At this moment, if there were to be a division in the family, they would be destroyed in this tribulation! If they did not have such resolute methods, how would they be able to tame the crowd? At the same time, Old Madam Ling was also shocked at the ferocity of the young man in front of her. Tian'er's subordinates were indeed all exceptional!

Ling Chen let out a smile and bowed calmly. ”Rest a.s.sured, Old Madam Ling. There is no need for anyone in this hall to panic and all of you can just tend to your own stations. The relevant parties have already been informed by me and I have already dispatched them! We just have to wait for our enemies to fall into the trap!”

”Oh?” Old Madam Ling said with a look of praise, ”How did you dispatch them? Did Tian'er deploy them before leaving?”

Ling Chen gave a bow again and said with a smile, ”Young n.o.ble had always predicted that this day would come, so how would he not have done any investigations? At the same time, he had also talked about how we should deal with such a matter. All of the a.s.signments were done by Chen'er and Old Madam Ling will find out in just a moment's time. Why is there a need to be anxious?”

”Ah ah, if that's the case, this old lady can be at ease and will look forward to watching the show,” Old Madam Ling said with a smile. She knew that Ling Chen wasn't willing to reveal the specifics of her plan in front of the many people present in order to maintain secrecy. At the same time, she could not help but be at ease.

A frantic voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall, ”Help, help… my mother… she has fainted…” Following the frantic screams, Princess JiaoYue dashed in frantically with anxiousness all over her face! It turned out that Consort Ling Ran heard that her own husband had actually schemed to kill her own brother and even wanted to make use of the opportunity to wipe out her Ling Family! Her own family had fallen out with her husband without a chance of turning things around. She could not help but be thrown into depression and dilemma and her already weak body fainted on the spot!

”What sin!” Old Madam Ling let out a sigh and held onto the Princess JiaoYue's arm. After sending an eye signal to Chu Ting'er, she walked out of the hall. After a moment of hesitation, Chu Ting'er also followed Old Madam Ling out. Duke Ling then stood up and let out a long sigh. Looking at Ling Chen, he looked as though he wanted to say something but did not say anything in the end. Shaking his head, he walked out of the hall a desolate retreating figure filled with the dismal spirit of a warrior at the end of his road!

For the three huge figures of the Ling Family to walk out of the hall at this moment, they only had a single purpose: to trust Ling Tian's choice. They had chosen to acknowledge Ling Chen's position as the leader and handed the life and death of the Ling Family into her hands! They had displayed their att.i.tude: no matter what Ling Chen did, the three of them would not question her and would wait for the outcome! Even if she were to send the whole Ling Family to their deaths, they would also accept that outcome! This was the demeanor of a powerful family, trusting the one they chose to follow!

Ling Chen's eyes were already filled with tears. While she was confident that she would be able to persuade Old Madam Ling and Duke Ling, she never expected things to go so smoothly. However, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiousness about the fact that the life or death of the Ling Family rested on her shoulders.

The Imperial Army should be here soon, right? Why aren't there any signs of them yet? Can there be a flaw in my plans?

In the Smoky Thea Tower!

”Big brother, what should we do? Should we fight or retreat? Can you make a decision?!” NanGong TianHu was like a lion trapped in a cage, pacing around anxiously with ragged breathing. ”If the Ling Family is destroyed, we will definitely be their next target! Big brother, we cannot let our guard down.”

NanGong TianLong's face was calm as he held onto a teacup and said, ”Why are you rus.h.i.+ng about? Let us wait and see, it isn't too late yet.”

”Isn't too late? Big brother, the Ling Family is already about to be destroyed! That old dog Yang KongQun has already taken out his Heavenly Blade Troops! How can I not be anxious?” NanGong TianHu walked another round as the veins on the side of his forehead bulged. ”By the time the Ling Family gets wiped out, it will be too late for us to be anxious.”

NanGong TianLong only gave a smile in reply and looked towards NanGong Yu. ”Yu'er, what do you think?”

NanGong Yu frowned for a moment and considered before replying, ”Father, I think that there is something unusual about this matter! The fact that victory is still up in the air makes this a huge dilemma!”
