Chapter 256 - Destruction of the Yun Family
Even the Jindan Stage Grandmaster was no exception. Fortunately, at the last moment, Qing Xue appeared, and she used her death to force the Ling Family away. I begged the Misty Rain House to let go of the Ling Family, and to not let the Zheng Family attack the Ling Family.
After that, Zheng Family still wanted to get Qing Xue, but not just for the young master of the direct line of descent of the Zheng Family to officially marry him, she even wanted to get changed to a trash of the side branch who had no status. Zheng Family wanted to humiliate Qing Xue.
It is said that a Jindan Elder who had his eyes set on Qing Xue's Inherent skill spoke up. In the end, Qing Xue was imprisoned in the Misty Rain House and the only way to regain her freedom is to use the Core Formation Method before the age of forty. "
Hearing this, Wang Hao's eyebrows twitched, and he asked: "If we form the core after the age of 40, could it be that Misty Rain House is going to imprison a genius Jindan cultivator?"
Ling Guang shook his head with a heavy expression: "I don't know."
Wang Hao asked again, "How old is Ling Qingxue now?"
"If I remember correctly, he's already thirty-eight. Next year he'll be thirty-nine, and from then on he'll be forty, with less than a year and a half left." Ling Guang said.
"Sigh, there's less than a year and a half left. I wonder how Qing Xue is doing now."
At this time, Ling Yan sighed, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
"Then what happened to Wang Hanqing and the child?"
Wang Hao did not pay any attention to him and continued to ask, his face showing neither joy nor anger.
Ling Guang replied nervously, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but although Misty Rain House and Zheng Family spared our Ling Family, the Yun Family took the chance to climb onto the Zheng Family, and under the Zheng Family's tacit approval, began to nibble away at our Ling Family's property step by step. Not long after, in a conflict, the Yun Family said that Wang Hanqing and the child had died in their hands, and we thought that he had caused us both harm, wishing that we could personally kill them."
"If the child hadn't died, he would be almost fourteen now."
When he mentioned the age of the child, Ling Guang, whose eyes were dodging, couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Thinking about Wang Hao's cultivation, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: With his cultivation, he is at least in his early twenties, and cannot possibly be Qing Xue's child.
The moment he thought about the possible relationship between Wang Hanqing and him, the thing Ling Guang feared the most was that they were father and son.
Then, just as Ling Guang let out a sigh of relief, because of one of Wang Hao's words, he suddenly raised it again.
"I'm fourteen years old this year."
Wang Hao said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, not only Ling Guang, all the expressions of the Ling Family members present changed greatly. Their expressions were overwhelmed with shock as they stared at Wang Hao with widened eyes, their gazes filled with disbelief.
"Wang Wang Xiaoyou, you must be joking! "You're only fourteen!"
A Ling Family elder asked with chattering teeth.
Wang Hao looked at him coldly, and retorted coldly: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Keke, your cultivation."
That elder wanted to say, "You are a minor, but why is your cultivation level so high now that you have reached the Innate Realm?"
Wang Hao did not answer, his gaze instead shifting over to Ling Guang as he coldly asked with a face devoid of expression, "Continue speaking, did the Yun Family do those unforgivable sins?"
When they thought that it was highly likely that Wang Hao was the son of Wang Hanqing and Ling Qingxue, not only did the Ling Family elders not rejoice, they were even more so terrified, because what they had done back then was definitely enough for Wang Hao to hold a grudge against them.
Ling Guang stared dumbstruck at Wang Hao, until he was awoken by Wang Hao's gaze, and immediately spoke in a trembling voice, recounting all the Yun Family's evil deeds, some towards the Ling Family, and some towards the other families and ordinary citizens of the Lingyun City. At the end, the Ling Family clansmen were filled with righteous indignation, and wished that they could scold the Yun Family to death.
After speaking for more than an hour, he had yet to finish. The evil deeds committed by the Yun Family were truly untold.
After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ling Guang carefully kept it, and said: "Wang Xiaoyou, these actions of the Yun Family, I am absolutely not lying, and I am not exaggerating at all. Moreover, this is only a small part of it.
Wang Hao slightly nodded his head, then raised it, and with eyes that were filled with a cold and sharp light, said: "Abuse of authority, violation of the law, using power to bully others, forcing a commoner to steal a commoner's daughter, disregarding the lives of others, any one of these are sufficient to cause the Yun Family's City Lord to demobilize, now that there are multiple crimes, the Yun Family shall be exterminated!"
Hearing that, the upper echelons of the Ling Family trembled, especially Ling Guang, who did not dare meet Wang Hao's sharp gaze.
On the other hand, Ling Ling had her beautiful eyes wide opened, her face filled with surprise. She covered her mouth with her jade hand, and asked the question that the Ling Family higher ups did not dare to ask.
"Wang Hao, you can't be my cousin, right?"
Facing Ling Ling, Wang Hao's expression softened as he gently said, "My father is called Wang Hanqing. Roughly fourteen years ago, he carried me, who was still in my infancy, back to the Wang Family. But father soon passed away from being seriously injured.
BOOM!
As Wang Hao's words fell, even if they had already expected it, at this moment, the Ling Family higher ups were all extremely shocked, as though they were sitting on pins and needles. Ling Yan's entire being stood up with a whoosh.
"Grandson, you're my grandson, you're really my grandson."
Wang Hao did not have any feelings for this grandfather of his. Not to mention the grandfather of Wang Hao's body, even the original "Wang Hao" should not have any feelings for the higher ups of the Ling Family.
In reality, both Wang Hanqing and "Wang Hao" were already dead. If not for the fact that they were cultivating the Way of Love, Wang Hao would not even bother to recognize the Ling Family.
"Patriarch Ling is being too serious, before saving mother Ling Qingxue, I only recognize her as my cousin."
Wang Hao's gaze turned cold as he looked at Ling Yan and replied coldly.
Ling Yan was startled, and then his expression darkened, and said in a low voice: "That's right, this old man spoke wrongly, I have let you father and son down, the Ling Family has let you father and son down, how can they have the face to recognize you as their genius grandson."
The higher ups of the Ling Family were also not impulsive people, if not they would have already jumped out to teach Wang Hao a lesson.
Leaving aside Wang Hao's background, just the chilliness that Wang Hao had previously released caused the Ling Family higher ups to not dare to act rashly.
Ling Ling did not try to persuade her. Even though she was still young at the time, she knew more or less what the Ling Family did to her aunt in the past. If she was in Wang Hao's shoes, she would not have been able to forgive them, especially now that her father had died and her mother was still imprisoned.
"Since you're here, come in, Ling Family's Ancestor!"
Wang Hao suddenly said, scaring the Ling Family higher ups yet again.
"What? The Patriarch is here!" Someone could not help but exclaim.
Tap!
Footsteps sounded and a figure entered.
