Chapter 680: 680
Xiao FengYang raised his head, only to discover Ling Tian sending a smile at him, full of deep meaning and intention .
Ling Chen would never in her dreams expect that the standard that Ling Tian expected her to follow since she was young, to always sit on his left, would be a clear signal to Xiao FengYang and the rest and even to his women as well as their families! It became the most obvious hidden signal!
Just this small action, no matter the Xiao Family, Shui Family, or even Jiao Yue and the Ling Family, no one dared to utter a word about the question of Ling Tian's official wife, the Empress!
Xiao FengYang's face reddened, and he cleared his throat, saying, ”Meng FanYun is the current generation sect master for the Above Heavens sect . His XianTian realm cultivation is deep and unfathomable, most likely already at the transformation boundary . His behavior is eccentric, and he is always gloomy and depressed . However, there will be a period every year in which he will become irascible . During that period of time, he will mysteriously disappear, but this old man here saw him during that phase a few times . . . ” Xiao FengYang was aware that since Ling Tian wanted to know all about Meng FanYun, it would of course have to be information that his own people could not obtain . Thus, he decided to begin from his behavioral problem .
”Eccentric behavior? Normally gloomy, but sometimes irascible and violent?” Ling Tian's fingers idly drummed on his armrest as he looked at Li Xue .
Li Xue rolled her eyes at him, explaining, ”To have such a situation appear, and furthermore on a XianTian realm expert, it should be said to be a rare occurrence . It could be that Meng FanYun is schizophrenic, with two personalities: one gloomy and one violent . Most of the time, the gloomy personality would be on the surface, suppressing the violent one, but when it is unable to suppress it, then that would be when the violent personality surfaces . As for the cause, it is either a problem with his cultivation, causing a cultivation deviation, or it could be an inborn trait . ”
”There's a third possibility, and that is of Meng FanYun being a mental patient,” Ling Tian evilly guessed . ”Or maybe . . . he's epileptic!”
Li Xue let out a snort of laughter .
Xiao FengYang was completely lost in a fog of conversation, unable to understand them . He only understood the term 'cultivation deviation', but while he thought this was unlikely to be the case, he did not dare voice out his thoughts .
”Meng FanYun, the sect master of Above Heavens . It is said that he has already practiced the hereditary secret manual of Above Heavens, the Divine Blazing Sun Formula, to perfection . When he unleashes a palm strike, it is able to melt gold and disintegrate stone . Just based on the purity of his inner qi, he would only be above that of the Yu Family head, Yu ManLou . Against his enemies, he is merciless and even vicious . I heard that he is only focused on the martial way, and in order to preserve his yang energy, he has remained unwed, using vicious methods to achieve the head position of Above Heavens . Within the sect, his order is law . ” Ling Chen recited whatever she remembered from the Ling Family Courtyard about Meng FanYun like a mathematician reciting formulas .
Beside Xiao FengYang, Xiao YouHan who was seated there had a change in expression . It was not surprising for the Xiao Family to have information on Meng FanYun, but for Ling Tian's side to have such detailed information was totally out of her imagination .
”Turns out that he's an old bachelor, then that's a given . Since there is no harmony between Yin and Yang, this will easily lead to feelings of irritation and violence . ” Ling Tian concluded
”However, the more the facts are so, the more we have to pay attention to the enemy . To have cultivated the Divine Blazing Sun Formula to perfection using a virgin body, he is not to be slighted . ” Li Xue smiled and warned, ”We definitely have to guard against this!”
Ling Tian looked like he wanted to speak, but his expression suddenly changed . He raised his voice, ”Since you're already here, just come straight in . ”
”Yes!” Following a sound of a.s.sent, Xiao FengYang and the rest suddenly felt the air being filled with a cold and b.l.o.o.d.y aura, the pressure making them feel it was hard to breathe .
A dark shadow flashed, and Ling Jian, dressed in black robes, appeared like an apparition in front of Ling Tian . Throughout this, his body remained ramrod straight .
”How did it go?” Ling Tian asked .
Ling Tian never asked if Ling Jian if the mission was a failure or success because he had never let Ling Tian down once!
”It went pretty well, the 'three souls and seven mortals' of the Yu Family have all been buried outside of Yan County . Not a single one escaped . ” Ling Jian replied calmly, as though he had just performed something insignificant .
”En, then how many of our brothers are injured?” Ling Tian frowned . For Ling Jian to only mention that of the Yu Family and not their side, Ling Tian immediately concluded that there had to be some injuries on their side, or else Ling Jian would report to him about their status .
Ling Jian's eyes dulled as he stated, ”Ling Yun was. .h.i.t by the final counterattack of the three souls, and has received serious internal injuries to his organs . Ling Forty-Nine took a wound to his chest and has injured his little finger on his left hand . The rest are unharmed . ”
”Are there any in danger of losing their lives?” Ling Tian exclaimed while frowning deeper . ”How could you all be so careless?!”
”Yan County had the fourth elder of the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower helming the place . We killed him as well alongside the others!” Ling Jian calmly replied . ”Ling Forty-Nine is not in any mortal danger but will require half a year of rest . And Ling Yun has consumed the Heaven Reversing Restoration Pill given by Justice before, and has taken a turn for the better already . ”
”It's good that they are in no mortal danger . When they return, I'll ask Senior Justice to have a look at them again, to ensure that there are no hidden injuries . ” Ling Tian breathed out in relief, but he still felt the heartache . He had watched this group of youths grow from a young age, and to hear that two of them suffered from grievous injuries today, it naturally did not sit well with him .
”What about Third Master Yu?”
”Third Master Yu . . . I've sealed his acupoints and arranged for a group of merchants to escort him back to the Yu Family . ” Ling Jian's eyes flashed with a tinge of guilt .
