Chapter 24: The Uninvited Guest
The news released by the top management of the Ling family was that an iron mine appeared in the back mountain, but this fake news still made the Ling family excited.
After all, the economic benefits brought by an iron mine are still considerable, which can alleviate the economic problems of the Ling family to a certain extent.
Under the personal supervision of Great Elder Ling Tiannan, a city wall connecting the entire Ling Town was built in full swing.
The entire Ling family became lively.
In the Ling family's meeting hall, Ling Jie and Ling Tianbei discussed the future development direction of the Ling family with great interest.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Zimo was specially approved by Ling Jie to participate in the family meeting together because of his great contribution to the discovery of the spirit stone mine.
"Report to Elder Taishang, Shi Ba, the head of the Shi family, is here, and he wants to see you by name. ”
One of the guards ran into the council hall with an anxious look on his face to report.
"The Shi family and the Ling family have always been old and dead, and today's sudden visit by Shi Ba is probably not good. ”
Ling Tianbei's eyebrows frowned.
"Could it be that the matter of the spirit stone mine has been revealed. ”
Fifth Elder Ling Tianhai said nervously.
The Ling family just discovered the spirit stone mine yesterday, and Shi Ba is here today, there must be something wrong with this.
"How many people did Shi Ba bring?"
Great Elder Ling Tianbei asked with a solemn gaze.
"Counting Shi Ba, there are two people in total. ”
The guard replied.
"The Shi family is really rampant. ”
Fifth Elder Ling Tianhai said indignantly.
"Shi Ba is cunning and cunning, but we don't know what he's planning at the moment. ”
Ling Zimo's face showed a heavy look of sorrow.
Over the years, conflicts have often broken out between the Shi family and the Ling family, but it is the Ling family who suffers every time. There is no other reason, just because the Shi family is stronger.
The Shi family had five Yuanquan Realm masters, while the Ling family only had three Yuanquan Realm masters. Shi Qiang, the ancestor of the Shi family, is a powerful and unfathomable existence.
Over the years, the Shi family has been weakening the strength of the Ling family in various ways, and Ling Zimo has a hunch that sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle between the Ling family and the Shi family.
"The soldiers will come and cover the water, and let them in. I want to see if the two juniors of the Shi family can turn the sky upside down. ”
Ling Jie took a sip of the tea on the table, and commanded in a flat tone.
Ling Jie and Shi Qiang, the ancestor of the Shi family, are of the same generation, and Shi Ba is naturally a junior in front of him.
"Ling Jie's predecessors haven't seen him for many years, how are you doing lately?"
Under the gaze of everyone in the Ling family, Shi Ba and a young man in luxurious clothes walked into the hall with their heads held high.
"Needless to say, polite words, I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. ”
Ling Jie leaned back against the wooden chair, looking impatient. The relationship between the Shi family and the Ling family is like fire and water, and he is lazy and polite to the people of the Shi family.
"Since Ling Jie's predecessor is so refreshing, then I'll get straight to the point. To tell you the truth, the younger generation is here to represent the Shi family. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shi Ba's mouth.
"When did the Shi family become so upright, they all learned to write wars. ”
As soon as Ling Jie's words came out, everyone in the Ling family burst into laughter.
"Clansmen of the Ling family, what will you do if someone comes to your door to provoke?"
Ling Jie asked loudly.
"Fight! Fight!"
The clansmen in the Ling family's hall shouted magnificently.
"Ling Jie's seniors, don't get me wrong, the Shi family and the Ling family are good neighbors and friends. If the two go to war, they will only lose both. ”
Shi Ba said with a smile.
"Shi Ba, I know that you have studied in Xibi City for a few years, and you speak in a roundabout way. But I don't have time to hang out with you here and send me off. ”
Ling Jie made a gesture at Shi Babi asking you to get out.
"Senior Ling Jie, don't be angry, it's all because I didn't make it clear. I came this time to represent the juniors of the Shi family to write a war letter. ”
Shi Ba still had a fake smile on his face.
"Go on. ”
Ling Jie looked at Shi Badao.
"There are many forces outside Xibi City, and there have been many disputes and conflicts over the years. The dragons cannot be without a leader, and after deliberation, the patriarchs of each town unanimously agreed to hold a martial arts meeting of the ten towns to elect the leader of the alliance. ”
"A few days ago, I sent someone to send an invitation to the Ling family, but the Ling family never replied to me. So I personally came to the Ling family to write a war letter, hoping that the Ling family could participate in the Ten Towns Martial Arts Meeting in a month. ”
Fifth Elder Ling Tianhai scolded angrily: "Don't play tricks here, get out of here." ”
The young man behind Shi Ba suddenly let out a cold sneer: "Dad! I said a long time ago that the people of the Ling family are cowards. They didn't even dare to participate in a small martial arts meeting. ”
The person who spoke was full of confidence, and if you look closely, his appearance is somewhat similar to Shi Ba.
"Boy, you're too presumptuous. ”
The hot-tempered Ling Tianhai stepped forward quickly, and a frost fist suddenly burst out.
Shi Xiao seemed to have expected it, and a yellow light flashed on his body. Facing the menacing Ling Tianhai, he actually met it head-on.
"Boom!"
Ling Tianhai clutched his chest and took five or six steps back.
On the other hand, Shi Xiao stood in place with a relaxed face.
Ling Tianhai was unexpectedly defeated by Shi Xiao.
Ling Zimo's eyes froze slightly, staring at Shi Xiao.
Ling Tianhai had the cultivation of the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, how could he be defeated so easily?
"This is my son Shi Xiao, who just came back from the Thunder Gate the day before yesterday. Young people are a little presumptuous, don't be surprised. ”
Shi Ba looked at Ling Tianhai and said proudly.
"Is he Shi Xiao the first day of the Shi family?"
"I've heard that he looks like he's only 20 years old this year. ”
"Reaching the peak of the True Yuan Realm at the age of only twenty, such strength is terrifying. ”
"Not only that, but I heard that he was also accepted as a disciple by the Thunder Sect, a great force in Xibi City. ”
Shi Xiao enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, stretched out his arms and laughed, "People from the Ling family, that's it. ”
A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Ling Jie's eyes, and a powerful momentum burst out.
Shi Xiao suddenly felt a pressure coming towards him, and under the pressure of this force, his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, Shi Ba hurriedly released his breath to protect Shi Xiao, and the two breaths are indistinguishable from each other.
Ling Jie and Shi Ba were both masters of the Yuanquan Realm, and the collision of momentum alone made some juniors dizzy.
Shi Xiao's handsome face, which he thought was handsome, was also distorted and deformed in a burst of red and white in the continuous pulling of the two breaths.
However, Shi Ba noticed that it was in the corner of the hall. There was a figure looking at him calmly, and the aura of the master of the Yuanquan Realm did not cause any pressure on him.
This person is none other than Ling Zimo.
Ordinary people may be defeated by the aura of the Yuanquan Realm master because the gap in cultivation is too large. However, Ling Zimo had a mixed yuan spiritual fire protective body in his body, and even the aura of a late-stage master of the Yuanquan Realm could not hurt him.
