Chapter 199 - The Summon
Black Iron City, City Lord's Mansion
"What-? Are you saying that the woman with him massacred the hundreds of Blood Fiend Gangs by herself while the young man killed the Blood Fiend Gang's Young Lord without even lifting a finger?" Blurted out the City Lord an astonishment after hearing the reports of what happened within the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant.
"Yes Lord, I saw everything with my own eyes as I had disguised myself as one of the customers this morning just like Master Yang Ghost had instructed." Respectfully answered a middle-aged kneeling in front of the City Lord.
At this time, the City Lord had a shocked countenance. From the previous reports, he had realized that the young man and woman weren't some unknown and weak characters. However, he'd never imagined they would be that powerful.
The members of the Blood Fiend Gangs were all-powerful warriors. Yet, that woman was able to kill them all without any resistance. Though Blood Fiend Saint was the most powerful, there were still many 1st Tribulation and 3rd Tribulation Martial Saint among them. However, they all suffered the same fate.
"You also mention that he let Blood Fiend Saint go, is that true also?" The City Lord asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
This was one thing he couldn't understand no matter how much he racked his brain. Why would he kill all the members of the Blood Fiend Gang and let Blood Fiend Saint go unharmed? It didn't make any sense at all.
" Yes my Lord." Answered the middle-aged while still kneeling in front of the City Lord.
"Yang Ghost what do you think that young man let Blood Fiend Saint go. Do you think it's because he's afraid the family behind him?" Asked the City Lord the old man in black beside him.
"It could be but I have this nagging feeling that there's more to it." Answered the old man in black while stroking his white beard as he was pondering about something.
After a few more seconds, the old man's in black expression suddenly changed. At the same time, he looked at the middle-aged man with a solemn expression on his face and asked."Guo Shan, were you able to find the young man's identity?"
Upon hearing the old man in black, not to mention the Yin Ghost, even the city lord was looking at the middle-aged man with an anticipation look on his face.
That was even more true for the City Lord, though the young man didn't attack him or did anything that harmed his interest, he still didn't feel at ease having such a powerful person in his city without knowing his background as well as his motive.
He was even more scared now knowing that the young man was more powerful than he had anticipated. If he was able to effortlessly annihilate the Blood Fiend Gang, wouldn't it mean that he could also destroy his Chen Family if he wishes to?
"My lord, though I'm not a hundred percent sure, I think this young man is the one call, Ling Chen. The one that had destroyed the Long Family." Answered the middle-aged man in a quivering tone.
" What!"
Whether it was the Yin and Yang Ghost or even the City Lord, they jumped as if they were bitten by a poisonous snake upon hearing the name Ling Chen.
The City Lord along with the other two old men shuddered as the color on their faces drained quickly. At the same time, they felt their entire bodies become slowly drenched in a cold sweat.
"Guo Shan, why...why do you say that? Are.....are you sure it's him?" Asked the City Lord in a stuttering tone.
"I think it's him, master, because while he was talking to the Blood Fiend Saint, I saw his eyes changed color. One of them turned crimson and was covered with a red magic rune while the other was blue and was also covered with a blue magic rune just like they described him." Explained the middle-aged man.
"Ohh God, my Lord we need to leave this damn place as soon as possible. If it's really him, I know why he let the Blood Fiend Saint go." The Yang Ghost quickly said with a frightened expression on his face before he hastily left the main hall to pack his things.
....
Divine Demon Beast Region.
It's already past noon and the sun that was orange, shining warmly upon the land had now turned into a yellow inferno.
At this moment, within the inner region of the Divine Demon Beast Region, Ling Lei stood there motionless while looking at the fiery sun in the sky with a longing look on his face.
He was unknown who or what he was thinking about. However, he seemed as though he was yearning for something or someone.
Not too far from him was several dried and shriveled corpses of many demon beasts. Though they were all dead, their corpses were still radiating a powerful aura.
As Ling Lei was still deep in thought, he suddenly heard a commanding voice that was filled with nobility sounded from the deepest part of his soul." Ling Lei, tell your brothers and sisters to come back to meet me as soon as possible. I want you all to be there and welcome the birth of your brothers. You have my permission to use your Sacred Weapon."
Hearing this voice, Ling Lei that was in a daze jolted awake as he shouted. "Divine Father!"
Though he didn't know how his Divine Father was to talk to him despite being all the way in Heaven Suppression Region, he was a hundred percent that was him.
At the same time, he was also thrilled. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time. As the firstborn of the family, he was privy to many secrets.
He was not only happy because he was going to have more brothers, but because his Divine Father as well the rest of them would now be able to break through the next stage.
Thinking about how he would be able to break through the next stage as well as meeting his new brothers, Ling Lei couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, he summoned his scared weapon which was a long black spear. Aside from having the ability to absorb the enemies' blood and life force, this sacred weapon had another ability.
It had the ability to open a portal to Ling Chen's inner world no matter the location of the owner. However, this can only happen under his permission. In a way, it was like a key.
As the ruler of the endless void within his lower and upper dantian, Ling Chen had the power to grant or deny them passage as he wishes.
"I need to let the others know that as soon as possible so we can leave today." Murmured Ling Lei with an exciting look on his face before he disappeared from his location like a ghost.
