Chapter 539: Epitome of Shamelessness

Translator: DavidT Editor: DavidT, Rock

That white-robed young man had a sharp gaze like a sword and his face looked cold like the body of a sword . The outline of his face was extremely distinct as though it was carved out by a sword and the feeling being emanated from him was as though he was an extremely sharp treasure sword! The killing intent that was being emanated was also one which could only be felt from a treasured sword!

His gaze swept past the surviving members of the Shui Family and they immediately felt the cool autumn turn into the freezing winter . There was even a chill rising up from the depths of their hearts!

This was Ling Jian! Sword of Ling Tian!

The First Elder ignored the fatigue on his body and hurriedly stood up with an apologetic smile, ”So it is little brother Ling who is here to receive us . For us to trouble little brother Ling to make a personal appearance, this old man is truly grateful . ”

In truth, the First Elder was thoroughly enraged in his heart! The Ling Family said that they would provide support for them but had only arrived at the very end of the battle! If they had an expert like Ling Jian partic.i.p.ating in the battle, not a single person of the Yu Family would have been able to escape and the losses of their Shui Family wouldn't have been so huge! Especially the fact that Ling Jian's martial arts definitely weren't weaker than the three black-masked men . With him on the battlefield, the situation definitely wouldn't be that horrible!

But when he was truly facing Ling Jian, he did not even dare to voice a word of complaint . In fact, he did not even dare to show a tinge of dissatisfaction . He knew that this white-robed teen in front of him could turn all of his tired soldiers into a mountain of corpses by himself! In the face of such strength, even if he had a mountain of grievance in his heart, he could only bury it because of his incompetence!

He naturally didn't know that Ling Jian had already partic.i.p.ated in the battle and was even the one who killed the most! Furthermore, the black-robed man who caused Yu ZhanKong to pee in his pants was also this white-robed young man in front of them . It was just that the First Elder of the Shui Family couldn't recognize him . If Yu ZhanKong was here, he would probably be able to recognize Ling Jian based on his aura . After all, the black-masked man had imprinted too deep of an impression on Yu ZhanKong's heart!

Ling Jian's cold gaze landed onto the First Elder's face and he said emotionlessly, ”We are not here to receive you . ”

The First Elder was stunned for a moment and immediately felt as though he had eaten a fly . He forced a smile and said, ”Then… little brother Ling is here for…”

Ling Jian replied coldly, ”I am here under Miss Ling Chen's orders to retrieve all of our Ling Family's riches which were stolen by the Yu Family from Sky Bearing! What has the rest got to do with me?!”

”The Ling Family's riches?” The First Elder was smoldering with anger!

His Shui Family had sacrificed more than a thousand people before finally being able to chase the Yu Family away who left all of these treasures behind . All of the treasures that littered the battlefield were supposed to be the victor's spoil of war . In other words, these treasures all over the floor should belong to their Shui Family! In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that every item was stained with the blood of their Shui Family members!

However, the Ling Family did not even send a single member from start to end and their Shui Family was the one fighting the whole battle . The spoils of war were also seized by their Shui Family but the Ling Family actually had the cheek to righteously claim owners.h.i.+p of the spoils of war! Furthermore, they were still shameless enough to say that these were originally the riches of their Ling Family!

Not only did the Ling Family not put out any effort, they even wanted to swallow all the treasures alone! What did the Ling Family think their Shui Family was?! The First Elder was angered by Ling Jian to the point he almost spit out a mouthful of blood . He suddenly felt breathless and his face turned ashen as he almost fainted!

After panting heavily for a moment, the First Elder managed to calm himself down and replied with a calm tone, ”Little brother Ling must be joking . ” The First Elder tried his best to control his anger and prevented any trace of dissatisfaction from showing on his face but it was impossible for the First Elder to squeeze out a smile . Despite all of his efforts, a trace of anger could still be heard in his words .

”Joke?” Ling Jian's lightning-like gaze was fixed onto the First Elder, ”All of these originally belonged to my Ling Family and it was those Yu Family b*st*rds who stole it from our Ling Family's businesses without our knowledge! We only found out about this matter after performing our checks and I am here for this matter . Old Madam Ling has ordered that not a single copper coin can be missing! You actually dare to say that I am joking? Are my words very funny?? Could it be that all of these treasures are not from the businesses of the Ling Family?!”

The First Elder was intimidated by Ling Jian's sharp gaze and could not help but take a few steps back . At the same time, his tone also became weaker, ”Little brother Ling, these treasures were captured by our Shui Family after all!” At the same time, he cursed the Ling Family repeatedly in his heart, You guys still have the cheek to say that not a single copper coin can be missing?! Shameless to the extreme!

”First Elder must be the one who is joking!” Ling Jian snorted, ”Your Shui Family has a thousand-year-old feud with the Yu Family . Wasn't the purpose of your ambush to kill your enemies? Were you here to rob the Yu Family of their riches? Or could it be that you wouldn't have taken action if the Yu Family wasn't carrying this batch of treasure from the Ling Family? First Elder isn't very good at cracking jokes! Furthermore, even if your Shui Family didn't take action, I would have personally retrieved our Ling Family's treasures . It can only be said that under a series of coincidences, our Ling Family owes you a favor! We are extremely grateful!”
