Just as everyone was feeling suspicious, Ling Qingyun had already arrived at the entrance of the main altar. He said in a clear voice, ”Please inform the Altar Master that Ling Qingyun from the Cloud Dragon Mountain is here to pay a visit!”
The guests did not expect that the other party would not make a move, but instead report Wan'er's request to see Dao Lord Earth Kun. They were all dumbfounded.
There were some quick-witted people amongst them who said, ”Cloud Dragon Mountain? Someone with the surname Ling? Could it be the Ling Family clansmen of the Cloud Dragon? ”
Other people also came back to their senses, and said: ”Hmm, just now he reported himself to be Wan'er, what's her name? Hmm, right, she's called Ling Qingyun right? Yes, it's Ling Qingyun. ” Then, he muttered to himself: ”Ling Qingyun? Ling Qingyun? ” Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up as they exclaimed in shock, ”Could it be... White Jade Divine Sword, Ling Qingyun! ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes were wide open as their hearts were filled with horror. It had to be known that when Ling Qingyun was young, he had gone to the Cheng Family alone, and did not defeat all the experts of the Cheng Family. Rumor had it that he had defeated one of the top seven sword intent experts of the House of Ye, causing him to lose his sanity and become a completely crazy person. After all these years, in the martial arts world, there were times that these rumors could be heard. It could be said that although everyone never saw or heard of Ling Qingyun again, no one dared to look down on him, as everyone was very clear about the Jin'ling Cheng family's strength, and the Jin'ling Cheng family was currently one of the top aristocratic families in the martial arts world. Thus, everyone held a lot of respect and fear towards this legendary young sword god.
They did not expect to meet such a legendary figure at the Lou Guang Sect's Di Kun podium. Everyone felt as if they were dreaming, and stared blankly at Ling Qingyun's clear back figure. Suddenly, they felt that back figure was so ethereal and ethereal, as if it was real. No one could recall the real appearance of the person they had just passed by. It was as if they had seen it but could not restore it to its original form despite so much effort. No one even dared to look at his approaching back. The timidness in their hearts made them a little afraid of desecrating his back.
Just as everyone was discussing about this, a voice came from the Ling Family's White Jade Divine Sword, Ling Qingyun, at the opposite side of the hall.
Ling Qingyun said lightly: ”The name of the Immortal Sword is indeed a rumor, it cannot be true.” Although Ling Qingyun's words were polite, everyone could feel the faint aura of aloofness and pride from her straight and upright back.
The voice from inside hurriedly said: ”Please wait! We'll pass on the message to the Altar Lord. ” There was a trace of respect in his words.
Ling Qingyun did not have any reaction, and only stood at the doorway coldly and arrogantly.
No one dared to make a ruckus behind them, they could only whisper to each other occasionally about why Ling Qingyun, who hadn't appeared for so many years, suddenly appeared here.
Not long after, a voice came from the altar as it laughed out loud, ”Haha, who is it that blew the famous White Jade God Sword, Hero Ling? To think that you didn't inform me beforehand so that I can sweep the bed and receive you.” As he spoke, a person walked out from the entrance of the main altar. This person's face was pale without a beard, and there was a trace of a smile on his fair face. He wore a green daoist robe, and was over seven feet tall.
This person arrived in front of Ling Qingyun, and after sizing him up, he cupped his hands and smiled: ”This must be the famous Hero Ling, right? ”Please forgive me for my rudeness when I go downstairs to see you.” So it turned out that this person was the one who had exchanged blows with Xiao Li back then, the 'Soul Devouring Smoke'.
Ling Qingyun cupped his hands in greeting and replied, ”You're too kind, Great Master Yin. I would only be rude if I took the liberty of visiting you.”
Yin Sun smiled. ”That's right. If Brother Ling comes again, you'd better give me a heads-up. I'll let you know when the time comes.” It was indeed a bit rude for this person to point out Ling Qingyun without leaving a trace, because he vaguely felt that this legendary figure who had disappeared for so many years did not come with good intentions. Furthermore, when Lieutenant Shen Bu had returned to the main arena, she had also mentioned that Ling Qingyun and Xiao Li were together.
Ling Qingyun calmly replied, ”Excuse me, there is a reason for this matter. This Ling has come here for my brother.”
Yin Sun smiled. ”Oh?” Is your brother in my main altar? I have never heard of it! ” These words had two meanings. First, if someone dared to trespass into his pavilion, then he would be acting in a provocative manner. Second, if no one came to his place, then Ling Qingyun would be acting in a provocative manner.
Ling Qingyun, however, did not care about the other party's words and calmly said, ”Earlier, a person called Lieutenant Shen Bu from the honorable altar captured my brother's family. My brother came to the honorable altar to save them. I have come to look for them.” Before he came here, he didn't have any intentions of being kind, so he wasn't here to negotiate with the other party.
Yin Sun's face grew cold. ”It looks like Brother Ling is here to take advantage of the situation, just like the rest of the gang,” he said. ”If that's the case, then you're all here to challenge the authority of our sect.”
Ling Qingyun calmly replied, ”My brother is already on the brink of death. If you insist on saying that my action of saving a friend is a provocation to the Lou Guang Sect, then I might just have to provoke him a little.”
Yin Sun smirked coldly. ”Good. Rumor has it that the Ling Family of the Yun Long family, Ling Yun, was born proud and proud. He's never put any of the world's heroes in his eyes. I wonder if Brother Ling is here on behalf of the Ling family?”
Ling Qingyun was still calm as he said, ”If Brother Yin wants to involve the Ling family, then the Ling family will be of no use.” Ling Qingyun had always been wary of the Ling Family, but after hearing his father's answer, he no longer had any scruples. Therefore, he didn't fear that Yin Sun would use the Ling Family as a threat. Although he did not know why his usually calm father would support him, as long as he got his father's approval, he believed that his father would definitely be able to deal with the Lou Guang Sect's retaliation. Even though he was afraid that things might get worse, his heart was still calm. In his heart, he only had his own principles, there was no fuss about it, no hope or despair, only the goal that he had to accomplish, nothing could change him. Back then, when he was young, he had been like this, but after all these years, he still had not changed, and there were still some things that he had to persevere in.
Yin Sun's face darkened even more. He hated Ling Qingyun for not responding at all, just like an elm tree. He thought Ling Qingyun would be moved by the threat of the Ling Family, but Ling Qingyun was still calm. He suddenly recalled the rumor that Ling Qingyun had not even been able to persuade him back then.
Yin Sun was now one big man, and the internal strife within his altar had yet to be settled. There were still two people in the secret plane, and there were also a large number of tyrants eyeing the scene. Now Ling Qingyun was up to something. If it was anyone else, he might not have cared, but this Ling Qingyun was someone the Lou Guang did not want to offend. For no other reason than that the opponent's sword attack back then was enough to make the Lou Guang pay attention. Others might not understand why the Lou Monastery was so wary of Ling Qingyun, but as one of their senior core members, Yin Sun was somewhat puzzled.
One must know that Gao Fei was one of the top experts among the younger generation of the Lou Guang Sect, but it could be said that he had practiced the sword since he was young, so his own sword intent could be said to be unbreakable and unbreakable. However, Ling Qingyun had destroyed his Dao heart with a single sword stroke, which could only be explained with two reasons: Firstly, the sword intent of the Ling Family was the nemesis of the Lou Guang School; secondly, Ling Qingyun was a genius of the sky with his sword intent. The former explanation was unlikely, because back then Ling Qingyun's big brother, Ling Qingyun, had also fought with Gao Fei before, so there was only the second possibility, and the truly terrifying one was the second possibility. So back then, Lou Guang had not gone to find Ling Qingyun for revenge, on one hand, it was because he was in the wrong, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Ling Qingyun's strength.
I hope that I can be like Ling Qingyun, facing everything so calm, because of everyone's support.
