"What?", Sang Xiao looked surprised, he knew that although Falling Star City was not a commercial town like Lanyue City, it was also quite prosperous economically under the rule of the Ling family for generations, and the contemporary city lord Ling Yun was rumored to be a very strategic person, the dying man in tattered clothes in front of him was really the Falling Star City Lord Ling Yun who had been fighting with Lanyue City for decades?

Helianor seemed to have guessed all this a long time ago, and as soon as he entered the hall, he found that although Ling Yun was dressed in rags and was sluggish, the intact part of the long shirt full of patches could also be seen to be made of expensive fabrics, and the most important thing was that his gestures still faintly revealed a unique momentum of the superior, which could not be pretended, plus this is the city lord's mansion of Meteorite City, and a person with this kind of momentum must be the city lord. It's just that the old man in front of him must have suffered some extremely great change, and his eyes are already full of despair.

Ling Yun gently dusted off the dust that had fallen on his clothes, and said with a slight smile: "Why, do you think that my current appearance is not so much a city lord as a flower begging along the street?" Haha, don't say it's you, even if it's me, I don't think of myself as the city lord anymore!", although Ling Yun forced a smile, everyone could hear the desolation revealed between his words.

Helian Nuo suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked, "Lingyun City Lord, have you heard the name Ling Xiao?"

"Ling Xiao?haha, Ling Xiao?", for some reason, when he heard the name "Ling Xiao", Ling Yun's face suddenly turned iron-blue, and the beard on his chin trembled extremely much, "I've heard of it, I'm very familiar with this name!

Ling Yun closed his eyes tightly, barely suppressing the churning emotions in his heart, and after a long time, his tone finally became a little calmer: "Ling Xiao, he ...... He's my own brother!"

"What?!", Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao shouted at the same time, brothers? This old man in front of him who is dying is actually his brother to that beautiful man? This is really unbelievable, there is really no intersection between these two people!

Ling Yun looked at Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao, who were shocked, and laughed at himself with a faint smile: "Are you thinking, how can I, a bad old man who is about to die, be a brother with that handsome and dashing peerless son! Haha, not only you, but even myself, I am about to forget that I have such an outstanding brother!"

"My good big brother, it seems that you have a lot of grudges against my brother!", suddenly, a rather magnetic voice came from outside the hall, this voice sounded so familiar, Sang Xiao turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Ling Xiao, a beautiful man with elegant manners, standing at the door!

"You...... You ......", seeing Ling Xiao suddenly appear in front of him, Ling Yun couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out of his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, his already extremely ugly face looked even more gray.

Seeing this, Helianno couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, for some reason, the hatred in the eyes of the old man in front of him touched him quite a bit, and when he saw that Lingyun was slumped in the chair after vomiting blood, Heliano hurriedly ran forward and took out a Soul Yuan Holy Fruit from the space and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ling Xiao outside the hall walked in step by step, watching Heliannuo treat Ling Yun but not stopping him, he just smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, you have to take care of your health, the entire Meteorite City is managed by you, the city lord, haha!"

Helian Nuo clearly felt that Ling Yun, who was leaning on his arms, heard Ling Xiao's words, and his whole body shook violently, and he quickly condensed some gentle soul power in the palm of his hand, and slowly crossed towards Ling Yun's body.

After a long time, Ling Yun finally eased up, but the spirit of the whole person was even worse than before, he glanced at Heliannuo who was holding him gratefully, then raised his head to look at Ling Yun standing in the middle of the hall, coughed a few times and asked in a low voice: "Ling Yun, you haven't been here for many years, why did you come this time, could it be that you came here specifically for these two children?"

"Yes, the eldest brother is really not old and confused, the younger brother is here for these two children, they are from the direction of Lanyue City, and yesterday they also told me that they would give Meteorite City a gift that is enough for the people of the city to accept them, the younger brother sent someone to follow them out of curiosity, who knew that they actually came to the eldest brother's city lord's mansion today, so, the younger brother came to take a look!", Ling Xiao had a casual expression, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

"What, you sent someone to follow us?", the irascible Helianor couldn't help but be furious when he heard Ling Xiao's words, and he was about to attack when he raised his hand.

"Slow down, little friend, there is no one who can compete with him in this Meteorite City, don't act rashly!", just as Helianor was about to flash forward to attack Ling Xiao, Ling Yun, who had been sitting in a chair, suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled him down, seeing that Helenor was temporarily quiet, Ling Yun turned his head to Ling Xiao and said: " I'm afraid it's not just that, I don't think there is anything that can arouse your interest in the past ten years except for that incident, do you want to take the opportunity to push me, the city lord in name only, and become a veritable city lord yourself?"

It turned out that at the same time as the great changes took place in Lanyue City, the situation in Falling Star City was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, the city lord Ling Yun was attacked by assassins more than ten years ago, although he survived, but the poison smeared on the assassin's dagger still caused him to lose two legs, and since then he can only live in a chair, after the incident there are rumors in Falling Star City that the assassin who assassinated Ling Yun was invited by Ling Xiao, who was bent on seizing the position of the city lord, but this is only a rumor after all, and it will not have the slightest impact on Ling Xiao, during the period when Ling Yun is recuperating from his injuries, Ling Xiao began to expand his power aggressively, and at the same time tried his best to squeeze out Ling Yun's faction, and when Ling Yun returned from his injury, he waited until Ling Yun returned from his injury, the entire Meteorite City was already completely in Ling Xiao's hands.

Originally, according to Ling Xiao's intention, he wanted to get rid of Ling Yun to prevent future troubles, but Ling Yun's prestige among the people of Meteor City was too high, and Ling Xiao was afraid that killing him would cause a large-scale resistance, so he had to nominally retain Ling Yun's position as the city lord, but secretly and bloodily slaughtered Ling Yun's wife and children and old subordinates, and since then Ling Yun has become a loner in the true sense of the word, and can no longer pose a threat to Ling Xiao.

Although Ling Xiao and Ling Yun are brothers, the relationship between the two is extremely weak, all of this stems from the Ling family's traditional intra-clan competition mechanism, all the descendants of the Ling family, since they were born, they will be instilled by their parents into the idea of competition, all the descendants of the Ling family need to rely on competition to get everything since childhood, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao naturally can't avoid such a fate, Ling Yun is naturally smart, no matter what he does, he is better than other children, he has spent his childhood in the praise and rewards of his elders, on the contrary, Ling Xiao was clumsy when he was young, and naturally suffered from the white eyes and ignorance of his fellow clan, so Ling Xiao has always been deeply jealous of Ling YunIn order to inflict mental and physical torture on Ling Yun, as long as it is a matter of Falling Star City, no matter how big or small, he will always send someone to report to him, Ling Yun, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, hears the changes in Falling Star City every day but has no right to make decisions, and the depression in his heart can be imagined, just like this, after a few years, although Ling Yun is just in his early forties, he looks like a dying old man.

At this moment, Ling Xiao was told what he thought by Ling Yun, and he clapped his palms proudly and said: "Clever, clever! My mind seems to be able to be seen through by you forever, big brother! Yes, although everyone has recognized me as the de facto king of this Meteorite City over the years, you are still half-dead in the seat of the city lord, before I was still afraid of your prestige among the people, and now, hum, more than ten years have passed, who still remembers Ling Yun's name that has been sealed for a long time? It's time to hand over the city lord's throne, my big brother!"

Ling Yun's expression was extremely calm, as if he had already guessed all this, he didn't pay attention to the excited Ling Xiao, but turned his head to Heliano and said, "I heard that you came here to find the Falling Star City Lord, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint you, the real king of the Falling Star City, it's him!", Ling Yun raised his skinny right hand and pointed at Ling Xiao from afar.

Helian Nuo hadn't answered yet, but Sang Xiao on the side reacted, and hurriedly unwrapped the package on his back and put it on a mahogany table and said loudly: "I can honestly say that the purpose of our trip is to temporarily settle down in this Meteorite City and get the approval of the people of Meteorite, no matter who you are the city lord, this is a meeting gift for the two of us, I think, you will be satisfied!", After speaking, he suddenly opened the package, and a bloody human head was impressively displayed in front of everyone.

"It's ...... This is...... This is Tuoba Tao's head??", Ling Xiao, who had been standing leisurely in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, couldn't care about maintaining his demeanor after seeing the head, and swept to the head like lightning, and didn't care about the blood stains on the head, he took it to his eyes with both hands and carefully identified it.

After a long time, Ling Xiao slowly put the head on the table solemnly, turned his head and said loudly to Ling Yun, who was stretching his neck and looking desperately: "Big brother! It's really the head of Tuoba Tao! The head of our mortal enemy Lanyue City Lord, big brother!", for some reason, Ling Xiao's big brother shouted extremely sincerely, and there was no longer the taste of hypocrisy before.

"Tuoba Tao's head, it's really Tuoba Tao's human head ......", Ling Yun muttered and repeated Ling Xiao's words, the whole person was like losing his soul, and he would only repeat this sentence mechanically.
