Chapter 137 - Calm before the Storm (1/2)

The man in black was so sick with regret that his intestines were about to turn green. All he had wanted was to earn big money, and then leave White Stone City. The Luo family’s people only said that their two targets’ cultivation was stronger than theirs, so they would have to use some tricks to succeed.

But they had never imagined that their targets would be so strong! The two men could not even be compared to their targets’ little finger! He blamed himself for being greedy and agreeing to go after them, just to earn that money.

They had even purposely sought out his lover at the brothel to act in their scheme, and promised to help her redeem herself after this matter was settled. They were going to bring her along and all fly away together.

Now, he really was flying away, but he also very quickly crashed back to the ground, and on his face at that!

The Luo family? Exchanging glances, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen found that both their eyes contained surprise. It was actually the Luo family?!

s.h.i.+ Qu Town’s Ling family, Luo family, and Qin family had always stood on equal footing. The Luo family did indeed have wild ambitions, but attacking the other families had always been taboo, and they did not dare act rashly.

Also, the Qin family would definitely never let the Luo family swallow up the Ling family. Because if they did, the Luo family would grow stronger, and their next target would undoubtedly be the Qin family!

Did the Qin family not know about the Luo family’s plan? Or was it that the Qin family was involved in this too?

No matter which possibility it was, it indicated one thing — the Ling family had gotten into trouble! But why did the Ling family not send someone to inform them? The answer to that question was simple too: they did not want to affect the two of them.

However, the Luo family had already started to take action against the both of them. This was no small matter.

Ling Chuxi’s face turned serious as she spoke, “Let’s immediately return to s.h.i.+ Qu Town.”

“Alright,” replied Ling Yichen with a nod.

He looked coldy at the two men and woman still curled up on the ground. Without a word, he grabbed the dagger from Ling Chuxi’s hand and attacked them cruelly, without a shred of hesitation. His actions were incredibly fast. Before the three of them could even react, they were slashed with the dagger and their faces immediately turned black. They twitched a couple times before they stopped breathing.
