Epilogue The death of the richest man

Skycloud City returned to its former calm.

No one knew what was going on in the temple.

However, several big news items have caused heated discussions among everyone recently.

First, the Starlight Master's concurrent role as the commander of the entire army of the Divine Domain has been approved by the Temple.

Second, the Beichen family collectively evacuated Tianyun City and returned to the ancestral city of the Beichen family, and the commander of the Divine Domain Expeditionary Force was officially taken over by the young and promising Dongguixue.

Article 3, the richest Lingyue family in Tianyun City went bankrupt, all the chambers of commerce under the Lingyue family were dissolved, most of them had gone bankrupt, and the rest were separated by the elders of various families, and Lingyue Peng, the former richest man in Tianyun Divine Domain, hanged himself.

Three big news in the eyes of ordinary city residents, of course, it is just a topic worth talking about, although it is a sure thing for Master Starlight to be the commander of the whole army, but since the establishment of Tianyun City, there has never been a precedent for the integration of military and government.

It stands to reason that even if this appointment had to be approved in the end, the Templar would have to go through intense discussions before making a decision, and as a result, it was a little too fast to hand over all the entire army to the Starlight Master without any suspense.

But.

The townsfolk seemed.

That's the good news.

Tianyun Divine Domain has suffered continuous setbacks year after year, which is inseparable from the withering of the talents of the Beichen family, the commander of Beichen Tian, who is over eighty years old, even if he was powerful back then, he has regressed now, and it is difficult to support it alone, and he is overstretched.

At this time, it is necessary to have a stronger and more capable and younger Starlight Master, as well as the Xiyun family, which is as skilled and well-known as the clouds, and has huge demon hunter resources, to take over, and only in this way can it bring enough security to the citizens of the city.

The second news also caused heated discussions, the Beichen family completely withdrew from Tianyun City, which means that the Beichen family has completely announced its withdrawal from the ranks of the first-line families in the divine domain, and even the expeditionary army has completely given up, and from then on, the Beichen family will decline rapidly, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it will fall to the point where it is not even as good as a second-rate family.

How brilliant was the Beichen family back then?

Who would have thought that there would be such a day.

The townspeople sighed at this.

The last news is a little intriguing, the head of the Lingyue family, the richest man in Tianyun City, hanged himself, and the Lingyue family completely decomposed, and since then it has become a few chambers of commerce that have survived.

If it's just that, there is nothing strange about it, what really aroused some people's heated discussion was that it was rumored that someone had seen that on the day of Lingyuepeng's hanging, Shan Haifeng, the leader of the Expeditionary Legion's War Dragon Corps, had brought people to visit the Lingyue family.

Shan Haifeng stayed at Lingyue's house for half an hour and left.

That night, the housekeeper of the Lingyue family found the richest man hanging himself in the study.

Is the newly appointed senior general of the expeditionary force related to the suicide of the richest man?

This is very intriguing.

The relationship between Ling Yuepeng and the expeditionary force is well known, and the richest man once supported the expeditionary army with the strength of the whole family during the formation of the expeditionary force, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that the richest man wants to support the expeditionary army is not the expeditionary army, but the Beichen family that established the expeditionary army.

The Lingyue family is very rich, but after all, it is a business family, and it is useless for Lingyue Peng to curry favor with the Xiyun family, because although the Xiyun family has lost a lot of talents and big names, it is still extremely strong and is the strongest family in Tianyun City.

How could this kind of family at its peak care about the Lingyue family's refuge?

The Beichen family is undoubtedly the best choice, Lingyuepeng tried to make the Lingyue family go further by submitting the Beichen family, who knew that Beichen Tian died in the wilderness, the Beichen family declined rapidly, and Lingyuepeng's investment was lost.

Ling Yuepeng may have hanged himself under the pressure of bankruptcy, and some people say that Ling Yuepeng was forced to death by the general called Shanhaifeng, as for how the truth is not explored, the only thing that has become an established fact is that the richest man is dead, and the Lingyue family has collapsed and completely disappeared.

What was once a grand courtyard now looks very decadent.

Once beautifully planted, only dead branches and withered leaves remain.

It used to be a good city, but now it is full of people.

Once magnificent, now the house is surrounded by walls.

A beautiful blonde woman stepped over the high threshold, and she walked into this home, which seemed very familiar and strange, and the once mighty and tall guards and maids were all gone, and only the old butler came out to greet him in despair.

"Miss, you're back. The old housekeeper looked at Ling Yueyun and wiped his tears, "The master hasn't been buried yet, please go in and take a last look at him." ”

Ling Yueyun nodded, and walked into the hall, she was followed by a little girl, this little girl had a pair of blue eyes, but now the old housekeeper who was lost in his soul didn't ask much.

The funeral of the richest man was very simple, only a very ordinary coffin, his fat body lay quietly in it, his hair was neatly combed, and his hands were crossed with ten fingers crossed on his chest, if it were not for the chest that stopped rising and falling forever, people would have thought he was asleep.

The Lingyue family tree fell and scattered.

The wealthiest family in the past is now so vulnerable.

Ling Yueyun looked at her father's body, she slowly closed her eyes, and a sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart, what she was sad about was not the family's situation, and what she was sad about was not her father's death, she was sad that she had never felt family affection, and the pain she felt at this time was even worse than dying in front of her without a trace.

This man who is called his father lying in the coffin, he is obviously a person who is extremely shrewd, but he has left a dull and funny impression all his life, he is bent on leading the family into the circle of power, and even his children are used as tools, but he never thought that he would end up like this.

"Cloud, are you back? ”

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Yueyun saw a haggard middle-aged woman, her face finally changed slightly, although she had not seen each other for a month or two, but her mother gave her the feeling of being old for more than ten or twenty years, her eyes were blank, she was not focused, and she was completely blind.

Lady Lingyue showed a sad expression: "My eyes are no longer visible, but this is fine, there are too many deadly temptations in this world, and sometimes it is a blessing not to be able to see." ”

Ling Yueyun went over to support his wife, and he saw the two housekeepers with big bags and small bags: "Are you going to leave Tianyun City?"

"Peng is gone, Lingyue's family is scattered, and I plan to go back to my parents' house to care for the elderly. Lady Lingyue stretched out her hand and touched Lingyueyun's face, "I know that you have always had a bad relationship with your father, but he is the head of the family, and he has been on a mission since birth, and there are some things that you may not be able to accept, but I hope you can understand." Now that he's dead, and you're not the richest man's daughter, you can finally do what you want. ”

Ling Yueyun hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "How did my father die?"

Lady Lingyue shook her head and didn't speak, she didn't seem to want to mention this topic, the mother and daughter had a simple light meal in this place with four walls, Lingyueyun personally escorted Lingyuepeng's body to be buried near the church, and finally Lady Lingyue got into the beast cart and left Tianyun City.

Lan raised his head and looked at her and asked, "Big sister, I don't like this, I miss the teacher." ”

Ling Yueyun touched Lan's head and said, "You belong to the wilderness, I shouldn't have brought you into a world that doesn't belong to you, let's leave and go find your teacher." ”

Ling Yueyun didn't settle Lan into the Demon Hunter Academy in Skycloud City in the end.

As soon as the two of them arrived in Tianyun City, they immediately left Tianyun City and returned to the wilderness.

On the road.

The two of them are suddenly confronted by a group of people.

Ling Yueyun vigilantly protected Lan behind him.

Among these people, there was a person with a familiar face, this person was wearing the armor of the Condor Corps, it was none other than Yun Ying's former subordinate Iwakawa, "Miss Lingyue Yun, it's really you!"

Ling Yueyun looked at their team curiously, there were about hundreds of people in this team, all of them were lightly armed, and most of them were dressed as ordinary merchants, looking like they were in a hurry to leave the Divine Domain.

Iwakawa brought Lingyueyun into the middle of the group.

A one-armed man drove the beast cart to meet the two, and when Ling Yueyun entered the beast cart with the blue diamond, they saw the woman sitting in it, this person had long golden hair, a fiery body, a beautiful appearance, and an unusually powerful aura all over his body.

Ling Yueyun was slightly stunned: "Beichen Xi?"

"Are you going to go to Yunying?" Beichen Xi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were as quiet as a pool of autumn water, she no longer had the feeling of being brutal and violent before, and now she looked like a mature and steady young woman, "Coincidentally, so am I." ”

Ling Yueyun had already seen it.

Beichen Xi's team is the backbone of the Beichen family, including not only the youngest member of the Beichen family, but also the elite of the Condor Corps who once served as Beichentian's own soldiers, so many people left the Divine Domain at the same time, what does this mean?

Defected?

The defection of the Beichen family?

What explosive news!

Ling Yueyun frowned and said, "You guys are not afraid of being discovered by the Starlight City Lord by doing this?"

"Did you think this old fox wouldn't know?" Beichen Xi's eyes flashed with a light that was colder than winter, "He needs a chance to bring down the Beichen family completely, so instead of stopping us from leaving, he will watch us go." ”

Ling Yueyun couldn't understand: "Then you still go?"

"It doesn't matter if the Beichen family can make a comeback or not, because the Beichen family is not the opponent of the Xiyun family at all. Beichen Xi closed his eyes again, "These people who are willing to follow me all believe that Grandpa was killed by Starlight, and Yunying may have a way to help us avenge, so we are ready to go to Yunying." ”

Ling Yueyun smiled bitterly.

Why did things get to this point?
