Chapter 23: The Dark Tide Surges

Today, everyone in the Ling family was in a particularly good mood, and even the Great Elder, who had always been unsmiling, showed a rare smile.

Under the guidance of Ling Zimo, everyone was talking and laughing. About half an hour later, everyone came to a relatively open space.

Although I had been prepared for a long time, the scene in front of me still surprised everyone. This is a natural mine, and the mountains of spiritual stones exude a dense light, which makes people feel excited.

Fifth Elder Ling Tianhai stepped forward quickly, carefully touching the spirit stone that emitted dazzling light with his trembling hands, and a smile couldn't stop appearing on his old face.

"There are so many spirit stones, enough for the Ling family to mine for a hundred years. If the Ling family rises in time, they will definitely be able to defeat the Shi family. ”

Ling Tianbei said happily.

"The ancestors blessed the descendants of the Ling family. ”

Great Elder Ling Tiannan prayed sincerely.

"The discovery of the spirit stone mine this time is all due to Zimo. ”

Ling Jie said with great relief.

"Yes, he gave the Ling family a mountain of gold. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Zimo, and he said in a relieved tone.

Ling Zimo's image in the hearts of the top leaders of the Ling family instantly became taller.

Ling Zimo's face turned red, and he felt ashamed.

The discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine this time was all due to Bai Chengcheng and Yubi, but Ling Zimo did not intend to tell the truth of the matter.

"Elder Taishang praised falsely, Zimo was only responsible for exploring the geology, and the specific excavation was completed by Brother Ling Long and the escort team. ”

Ling Zimo said softly.

"Giving birth to a son should be like Ling Zimo. ”

Great Elder Ling Tiannan said with some envy.

Although the young man in front of him was only eighteen years old, he had a sophisticated and steady attitude that did not match his age. Not to mention that this son's cultivation talent is extremely terrifying, this calm mind alone can achieve a lot of achievements.

Ling Tiannan secretly sighed in his heart: "If only Ling Yang could have half of Ling Zimo's maturity. ”

"Don't be proud of your achievements, and don't be shocked by your humiliation. This son of yours is good. ”

Ling Jie commented pertinently.

"Report to Elder Taishang, Zimo thinks that the matter of the Spirit Stone Mine is not trivial. It must be handled carefully, otherwise it is very likely to bring disaster to the Ling family. ”

Ling Zimo said with a serious expression.

Hearing Ling Zimo's words, Ling Jie pondered solemnly.

The value of the spirit stone mine is too huge, and once the news here spreads, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble.

"Zimo, do you have any good ideas, say it quickly. ”

Ling Jie looked at Ling Zimo's confident appearance, as if he had an idea in his heart.

"Zimo has three suggestions, please consider them with the head of the family and see if it is feasible. ”

"The first suggestion: to build a large number of fortifications under the pretext of defending against foreign invasion. As we all know, Lingzhen is built against the mountain, as long as the walls of Lingzhen are connected, the entire back mountain can be protected. ”

"The second suggestion: the news of the appearance of the spirit stone mine in the back mountain must be tightly sealed, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Only people who can be absolutely trusted can be selected and enter the pit to mine. ”

"The third suggestion: resell and sell spirit stones in an appropriate amount to reduce the attention of the rest of the forces. ”

Ling Jie sighed lightly and said, "Zimo, this kid is really delicate, the Ling family will definitely prosper if there are such excellent juniors." ”

Ling Jie said to the surrounding elders, "You have all heard Zimo's words, tell me your suggestions!"

Great Elder Ling Tiannan said with a kind face: "Zimo is very thoughtful, I have nothing to add. ”

All the elders nodded in praise.

Seeing that Ling Zimo had been affirmed by the elders, Ling Tianbei's heart suddenly felt a sense of pride.

Ling Jie's face was covered with a bright smile, "Don't stand stupidly, let's divide our labor." Tianbei, you immediately issued an order to build fortifications, and Tiannan, you secretly prepared some tools for mining spirit stones. ”

Ling Tianbei nodded with Ling Tiannan, then turned around and walked out of the mine.

After Ling Jie and the others inspected the mine, they all left with joy.

In the blink of an eye, night fell, and the stars scattered, and the entire Ling Town was shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.

Under one of the slopes of the back mountain, two figures clinged to the ground.

"Have you ever seen a strange light during the day?"

"I saw that the light was coming from the pit ahead. ”

"There must be a treasure in this deep pit, otherwise the people of the Ling family would not have dug desperately for half a month. ”

"That's right! You see, they've got extra men tonight. ”

"Either way, we'll have to find out what's in this pit. ”

The two figures looked at each other and sneered, then acted quickly.

The relationship between the Shi family and the Ling family has always been bad, and these two people are spies sent by the Shi family to monitor the Ling family.

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and the sky was slightly bright, and there were three figures in the Shi family's meeting hall.

In the center of the hall sat a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, who was none other than Shi Ba, the head of the Shi family.

"Is the information reliable?"

Shi Ba listened to the report of the two people in the seat, slowly rubbing his palms, and his face was cloudy.

"Patriarch Qiyu's matter is true, we personally went to the mountain behind the Ling family to check, there is really a spirit stone mine there. ”

A figure replied in the affirmative.

"I see, keep quiet. You can't tell anyone without my permission. ”

Shi Ba commanded with an awe-inspiring gaze.

"Follow the orders of the patriarch. ”

The two of them clasped their fists and saluted.

Ling Ba frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "The two of you will act separately and notify the clansmen above the Yuanquan Realm to gather here." ”

The two figures under the seat did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly got up to find the clansmen above the Shijia Yuanquan Realm.

The masters of the Yuanquan Realm are the top combat power of a family, and this time Shi Ba summoned all the masters of the Yuanquan Realm of the Shi family, he must be going to do something big.

After a while, several figures with extremely powerful aura entered the Shi family's meeting hall, each looking for a place to sit down.

"What the hell happened to the Patriarch?"

"Is there a strong enemy attacking?"

Shi Ba slapped his hand on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Elders don't need to worry, the Shi family is the most powerful family within a radius of a hundred miles, and no one has dared to invade the Shi family until now. I have gathered you overnight because I have a great matter to announce. ”

"I have decided to destroy the Ling family. ”

As soon as the words came out, the elders of the Shi family immediately became agitated.

"After waiting for so many years, I finally have to make a move against the Ling family. ”

"Hehe, when the time comes, I must kill a few more members of the Ling family to avenge my dead son. ”

"All forces that threaten the status of the Shi family must be destroyed. ”

The result of the discussion came out, and the elders of the Shi family all agreed to destroy the Ling family.

Shi Ba smiled proudly, only he knew. The real reason for the attack on the Ling family was the spirit stone mine in the mountain behind the Ling family.
