At midnight, the Ling family's mansion should have been sleeping soundly in the night, silently.
However, at this moment, the lights were on in the lobby of Ling Mansion, and there were many figures walking back and forth, making sounds of grief and anger from time to time.
In the brightly lit lobby, a bamboo mat and brocade quilt were spread on the floor in the middle.
Lying on the blood-stained quilt was a girl dressed in black, with a pale face and angry eyes.
This corpse was none other than Ling Yunfei, who had long since expired.
Several elders from the Ling family were surrounding the corpse, talking with grief and anger on their faces, and cursing in low voices.
A graceful, middle-aged woman knelt beside the corpse, wailing in grief.
The head of the family, Ling Sihai, stood in the hall, looking at Ling Yunfei's body with a livid face, his whole body trembling with anger.
Everyone could see that he was filled with overwhelming anger and murderous intent, and his eyes turned blood red.
Just half a quarter of an hour ago, a carriage drove into Ling's mansion and delivered Ling Yunfei's body in front of him.
The young prince, the owner of the carriage, told him personally that Ling Yunfei would go to the Meiyuan in the western suburbs to meet Ji Tianxing tonight.
When he learned the news and rushed to Meiyuan to rescue him, he only saw Ling Yunfei's body lying in a pool of blood.
After finishing speaking, the young prince took out the invitation letter from Ji Tianxing and handed it to Ling Sihai, and then left in a low-key manner.
Ling Sihai could no longer hold back his anger and murderous intent. He looked at the night outside the gate with cold eyes and roared in a low voice: "Ji family! Ji Tianxing!"
"No matter what, I will definitely kill you and cut you into pieces to pay for my daughter's life!"
Murderous roars echoed in the lobby of the Ling family.
All the elders of the Ling family were also in a heavy heart, shouting angrily with the same hatred and vowing to let Ji Tianxing be buried with Ling Yunfei!
…
After Ji Tianxing returned to Ji Mansion, he quietly returned to Qingfeng Courtyard.
He changed out of his black clothes and sat at the desk in front of the window, lost in thought.
Tonight's trip to the Plum Garden has achieved his goal.
What happened was just as he suspected, Ling Yunfei did not refine the God-seizing Pearl, but gave it to others.
The person who got the God-seizing Pearl was probably the man in black who rescued Ling Yunfei in Meizhuang.
He recalled the body shape of the young prince Ji Ling and compared it with the man in black.
After a moment, he already had the answer in his mind, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"A good-for-nothing prince with a congenitally damaged Dantian secretly colluded with Ling Yunfei to use the God-seizing Pearl to steal my natural bloodline and skills."
"After the incident is completed, he will use the Red Star Flower as an excuse to release the news at the right time, so that he can conceal the truth about his repair of Dantian."
"Luoyan King Ji Ling, is it really you?"
If he hadn't discovered the clues and grasped various clues, he would never have thought that this matter would involve King Luo Yan!
Although, he currently has no conclusive evidence to prove that the person who obtained the God Seizing Pearl is King Luo Yan.
But the clues he knows so far make him 80% sure that King Luo Yan is the real mastermind!
It is already difficult to deal with the Ling family alone. If you add the more powerful King Luo Yan who controls the two states of Luo Yan...
Ji Tianxing only felt the pressure increase dramatically, and his heart was as heavy as a huge boulder.
"Tonight I have defeated Ling Yunfei and investigated King Luo Yan. He will definitely take action."
"Next, my situation will be even more dangerous, and if I am not careful, I will be in catastrophe!"
The strong sense of crisis made his desire for strength even more urgent!
He did not dare to waste time and was determined to improve his strength as much as possible before the crisis came.
So, after he calmed down, he went into the secret room to practice his martial arts.
These two days of hard training have improved his strength by 70%, and he will soon be able to advance to the third level of the True Essence Realm.
…
The fourth courtyard of Ji Mansion is the residence of the second elder Ji Rufeng.
In a dark secret room hidden underground, two people were talking quietly.
Ji Rufeng, who is tall and tall and wearing a purple brocade robe, is sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair with a thoughtful look on his face.
Standing in front of him was a tall and tall young man in fine clothes, it was Ji Hao.
Ji Rufeng said with a solemn expression: "Haoer, what happened in Taiye Town has been exposed."
"Ji Changkong is already investigating the accounts of Dongjiao Workshop, and secretly asked people from Jianyingtang to investigate me. You should be more careful in your actions in the near future, and don't expose your feet again."
"Dad, I understand." Ji Hao nodded, took out a thumb-sized scroll of paper from his robe sleeve, and whispered the report.
"Dad, this is the message from the flying pigeon I just got. Ling Yunfei of the Ling family is dead!"
Ji Rufeng suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Ling Yunfei is dead? Who killed him?"
Ji Hao quickly answered truthfully: "According to the Ling family, it was Ji Tianxing who killed her! At Haishi tonight, Ji Tianxing killed her in Meiyuan in the western suburbs."
Ji Rufeng frowned and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that that bastard Ji Tianxing's strength would actually recover! It's incredible!"
He pondered for a moment and suddenly showed a sneer.
"Ling Yunfei was killed. Such a big thing happened. The Ling family will never tolerate it. There will definitely be a good show tomorrow!"
Ji Hao also nodded in agreement and sneered: "I estimate that Ling Sihai will definitely bring a large number of experts and come directly to the Ji Mansion to demand people and force Ji Changkong to hand over Ji Tianxing, right?"
Ji Rufeng's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice, "This is really an excellent opportunity! It seems I have to go to Ling's house right away."
Ji Hao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Dad, why are you going to Ling's house at this time?"
"Ling Yunfei has just died, and everyone in the Ling family must hate our Ji family to the core."
"Although this matter has nothing to do with us, if you go to the Ling family at this time, there is no guarantee that they will not vent their anger on you!"
Ji Rufeng looked at him with a smile and said meaningfully: "Haoer, you are still too young. You still don't understand the truth."
"The Ling family wants Ji Tianxing to pay for his life, so Ji Changkong must fight to the death to protect Ji Tianxing."
"However, if Ji Changkong dies, Ji Tianxing will lose his support and be at the disposal of the Ling family."
"The Ling family's target is Ji Tianxing, and our target is Ji Changkong. If I want to join forces with the Ling family and kill Ji Changkong inside and outside, do you think the Ling family will reject my cooperation?"
Ji Hao suddenly understood and showed a proud sneer on his face.
"Haha, of course the Ling family will not refuse, and they even ask for it!"
"Dad, your move is so clever! This is really a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!"
"If this plan succeeds, Ji Tianxing and his son will die tomorrow, and the Ji family will completely fall into our hands!"
Ji Rufeng nodded slightly, showing a proud smile.
He said earnestly and thoughtfully: "Hao'er, you must learn more and think more when encountering problems in the future, so that you can get the maximum gain at the minimum cost."
Ji Hao nodded with deep admiration and quickly said, "Dad, my child will remember your teachings."
"Well, just remember." Ji Rufeng nodded, turned and walked towards the door of the secret room.
"You stay here and wait for news. Dad will go to the Ling family to find Ling Sihai now."
