Dragon Emperor, Martial God

There was definitely someone designated to clean such a huge courtyard on a frequent basis. Cui Lao’s call got a middle-aged woman running along in no time because her lodgings were near.

She knew how rich these families must be to have such a huge courtyard in the fifth ring of Beijing. She was trained not to ask anything she shouldn’t and to pretend not to see anything she shouldn’t as well.

Cui Lao got her to leave a complete set of keys and told her that she didn’t need to clean for a few days. He got her to leave soon after.

Cui Lao gave the whole set of keys to Ling Yun after she left. “The key to every room is clearly marked. Please stay in whichever room you want to, Young Master. From now on, this courtyard is yours…” Cui Lao beamed at Ling Yun.

He could give five hundred million USD to Ling Yun, so a small courtyard didn’t count for anything. Cui Lao could decide by himself for this sort of small matter. Moreover, Cui Lao had already determined that Ling Yun would become the future head of the Ling Family!

The two cars entered the courtyard, and Cao Tianlong got out. Cui Lao glanced at the two descendants of the Blood Clan who didn’t dare to get out. “Young Master, what are you going to do with these two descendants of the Blood Clan?” he asked Ling Yun through telepathy.

“I don’t have any good ideas. Let’s wait and see. Perhaps they can be of some help in the rescue mission…” Ling Yun frowned.

“Young Master, they’re not humans, we don’t know what kind of intentions they might harbor. I think these two will be a hindrance sooner or later. Why don’t we kill them quickly so that we don’t have to be on guard…” Cui Lao advised.

“Thank you, Cui Lao, I’ll be careful…” Ling Yun said lightly.

Ling Yun didn’t really bother with this word of caution from Cui Lao. He had seen too many different species in the Cultivation World. The Blood Clan was nothing special when compared to them!

Moreover, all of them were a form of life. Ling Yun didn’t want to kill them indiscriminately as long as they didn’t anger him.

These two descendants of the Blood Clan had done a lot for Chen Jianwei and were in pursuit of Cao Tianlong. However, they were under orders and weren’t harming innocent people. Ling Yun wasn’t in a hurry to kill him.

If he were to compare them, the Chen Family who sold their country for glory and stopped at nothing were much worse than these two descendants of the Blood Clan.

Of course, they had been honest and respectful to Ling Yun throughout the whole journey, which contributed to Ling Yun thinking of letting them go. Ling Yun wouldn’t let them live if they dared to play any tricks!

Cui Lao left for the Ling Family once he helped Ling Yun settle down, leaving only Ling Yun, Cao Tianlong, and the two poor descendants of the Blood Clan.

They bought lunch on their way here. Ling Yun and Cao Tianlong ate, and Ling Yun gave him a suitable room for him to rest.

Cao Tianlong had been really tensed throughout the whole journey. He could finally relax a bit now that there was hope for his family. He slept like a log.

“You two, are you going to stay in the car forever? You can leave now that we’re back in Beijing…” Ling Yun said to Paul and Chester.

“Oh, Honorable Mister Ling. We have discussed it, and we won’t leave. We have decided to turn over a new leaf and follow you. We’ll listen to your every command from hereon…” Chester said with exaggerated hand gestures. That attitude and that sincerity made it hard to reject.

“Sorry, I don’t have fresh human blood to supply you. It won’t be fun to starve you… You don’t even need to think about my blood…” Ling Yun laughed soundlessly.

Of course. Ling Yun’s Stellar Condensation Technique meant he had to absorb the essence of the Sun every day. That was a nightmare of the Blood Clan. These two would probably die or be half-dead at best if they were to even take a single sip!

“Oh, no, no, no, my dearest boss. You might not know, but we don’t necessarily need to drink human blood to survive. We can drink animal blood…”

Chester was witty. He addressed Ling Yun as Boss immediately upon seeing how Ling Yun didn’t refuse them outright. They might have a chance.

“You can do that?” Ling Yun was startled. Human blood wasn’t easy, but animal blood was a different story! It was just a matter of money!

“Yes! Definitely! My dear boss, we can do it as long as you accept us…” Paul and Chester blurted out hurriedly.

“Don’t try to mess with me. Didn’t you say you’re a loyal slave of your superiors? How can you betray your master so easily?”

“No, no, no, that’s not betrayal. The one who gave us The Embrace in America was killed by the Blood Clan Hunters. We are free, so it can’t be considered betrayal…” Paul snatched the chance to speak this time.

“Why are you here in Huaxia if you’re free then?” Ling Yun asked strangely.

Chester licked his dry lips. “My dear boss, its because of fresh blood. That Chen Jianwei said that he would provide us with an unlimited supply of fresh blood as long as we followed him to Huaxia. You know this is an irresistible offer…”

Fresh human blood was the greatest desire of the Blood Clan. That was truly an irresistible offer to the low ranking descendants of the Blood Clan.

“Well, if that’s the case, perhaps it would be better for you to follow me…” Ling Yun finally nodded and agreed after a long while.

“Oh, thank you, Boss. You’re the best, most outstanding, god-like boss in the world…” Chester started sucking up to Ling Yun immediately.

“Where are you staying? You can’t just be in the car?” Ling Yun was feeling really good with the praises he got from Chester.

“Oh, my dearest boss, the best place for us to stay is in a coffin. However, that won’t be available here, so a basement would suffice…”

Ling Yun activated his divine sense and found a few basements. He led the two descendants of the Blood Clan there and then went back to the main house. He started to sort his thoughts on the sofa in the living room.

After half an hour, Ling Yun started calling Ning Lingyu and Tang Meng to inform them that he had reached Beijing safely. He also asked them to tell the rest that he was alright and that there was no cause for worry.

Ling Yun then found the largest bedroom and jumped onto the bed and started his meditation, quietly waiting for the night to come.

Ling Yun stopped his mediation only at nine at night. He got off of the bed and went out to the living room. Cao Tianlong was already awake and sitting alone in the living room, keeping his thoughts to himself.

“How was your rest?” Ling Yun smiled at Cao Tianlong.

Cao Tianlong heaved a long sigh and nodded. “Thank you, it was good. My heart could be at peace with you around…”

“I say, Elder Brother-in-law, don’t give yourself so much pressure. The sky won’t fall. Don’t worry, there is always a solution!” Ling Yun smiled.

Cao Tianlong nodded and then glared. “Who’s your elder brother-in-law? Rascal, Shanshan has yet to marry you. Rescue her first!”

Ling Yun said that deliberately to calm Cao Tianlong down. He knew now that Cao Tianlong did have a good rest. He finally calmed down.

“I have to destroy the Chen Family this time!” Ling Yun’s eyes turned cold, and he spoke with a low voice.

Ling Yun exuded a fiery, powerful aura. His confidence was showing!

“Ling Yun, you want to destroy the Chen Family? I have to remind you that the Chen Family isn’t easy. Their current head, Chen Haipeng, is currently at Xiantian Realm Level Five. There are at least seven or eight masters at the Xiantian Realm. Moreover, a few large secluded sects are supporting them…” Cao Tianlong said in amazement.

“We at the Cao Family might not want to admit it, but I can tell you that other than the Long Family and the Ye Family, the Chen Family is the biggest Family in Beijing now!

“Also, this is only the known forces they have in Huaxia. If you were to count the various hidden forces and their international support… It’s too intertwined…

“The Chen Family isn’t easy to destroy! Even if you have the ability, the Long Family would be the first to object. That’s because it would topple the delicate balance of the seven big families in Beijing. It would affect the Long Family. Huaxia will become turbulent once again like eighteen years ago…”

“Elder Brother-in-law, you think too much. As a man, you should exact revenge if you have a grudge. What else is there to consider?” Ling Yun laughed.

“Now that the Sun Family has gone into hiding, the Ye Family is keeping a low profile. The Chen Family is trying to capitalize on this opportunity to rise up. They have chosen the Cao Family as the first one to kill. They are obviously going to destroy you. Why are you considering so much useless stuff when your family is getting destroyed?”

“I’m different from you, I’ll strike whoever thinks about touching my people first! Everything else comes later!” Ling Yun continued.

“I’ll kill him even if the whole world can’t live without him!” Ling Yun said coldly.

Cao Tianlong was speechless once again. He had finally seen what strength, arrogance, and domineering meant today!
