Chapter 269 - Dissemination of information
Most of the people present were men after all. There were only a dozen or so female experts. They didn't dare to look at him directly, either because they were shy or because they couldn't bear to.
Ling Ling's lecture to Zheng Xu did not last long, nor was it short. Everyone's attention seemed to have shifted to him.
It was also at this time that Ling Ling finished venting her anger. Wang Hao took the opportunity to speak up, "The seat of city lord will temporarily be taken by the Ling Family Patriarch, do you guys have any objections?"
Everyone was startled, only then did they come back to their senses, the person who held the authority of life and death was the Heaven's Pride called Wang Hao.
Wang Hao said, no one dared to object.
Of course, when Wang Hao spoke, he looked towards the City Lord's personal guard, obviously asking them.
Usually, even if Ling Yan were to meet him, they would have an equal relationship. But at this moment, facing Wang Hao's question, this leader did not have the slightest bit of high-level Xiantian master's presence, so he was more clear than many people present about the terror of the sect, the terror of the Crouching Dragon Villa.
He believed that Wang Hao was a disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao, because he knew that Wang Hao had the qualifications to do so. If the Taoist Master Yunxiao knew that Wang Hao had the qualifications, they would definitely take him in as a disciple, without a doubt.
"No objections, we will follow Young Master Wang's instructions."
The leader of the personal guard was trembling all over, his legs were trembling, he tried his best to calm himself down, bowing and clasping his fists respectfully.
"Let's go back first!"
After Wang Hao heard this, he waved them off.
"Thank you, Young Master Wang. We will take our leave!"
The group of personal guards quickly left as if they had received amnesty.
Following that, Wang Hao looked at the Ling Family who had a face full of joy, and said indifferently: "As the city lord, Ling Family Patriarch, you will guard the city lord's mansion, and quickly take control of the Lingyun City in your hands. With the Ling Family's great elder as the host, Great Elder Ling and some others, at this moment, stop your thoughts, and properly do things for the Ling Family, if not, don't blame me for being impolite."
Although Wang Hao's tone was calm, everyone in the Ling Family understood that Wang Hao's words were an unquestionable command.
The corners of the First Elder's and the others' mouths twitched slightly. Their eyes had some evasion. However, they immediately responded in a joyful manner.
However, in this short period of time, they didn't dare to use their crooked thoughts again.
"As for the Ling Family Patriarch, don't be idle. With your talent in the Martial Way, it will be hard to even think of completing the first transition in the Lingyun City, so keep an eye on the Ling Family. Once I save my mother, as long as you can obtain my mother's forgiveness, forget about first cycle of Jindan, I can even help you complete the ninth circulation." Wang Hao continued.
"I mean it!"
Hearing this, the Ling Family's Ancestor shuddered, and his old face flushed red as he cried out in alarm.
At his age, there was nothing that made him more excited than increasing his cultivation.
Wang Hao raised his eyelids, then said indifferently: "Follow me to get rid of the Yun Family's Jindan cultivator, this way, in the entire Lingyun City, you are the only one, this way I can leave with ease."
"Alright, this old man will listen to any orders!"
Ling Family's Ancestor excitedly promised.
The Ling Family's people also had faces full of excitement. The joy on their faces was no longer hidden, and was now unrestrainedly blooming.
This was a joy that was even more exciting than being brought back from the dead.
On the contrary, when the people of the Yun Family heard Wang Hao's words, they felt as if their hearts were on the verge of death, and could only wait for their deaths.
They had experienced Wang Hao's strength before, so if they joined hands with the Ling Family's Ancestor, their Yun Family Patriarch would definitely not be his match. Once their Yun Family Patriarch died, the last sliver of hope they had would be gone.
Waiting for the Zheng Family to rescue them?
Hehe, forget about whether or not the Zheng Family was willing to save them, or whether or not he had the ability to save them, when the Zheng Family received the news and rushed over, their graves would already have grown taller, and the Yun Family might even no longer exist.
"Young Master Wang, all of the evil deeds were done by Yun Donghe's bloodline, we could not do anything, and hoped that Young Master Wang would take it lightly, we will leave the Lingyun City, and will not take another step into the Lingyun City."
In the Yun family, an elder who was at the level of her Xiantian eighth stage finally mustered up the courage to beg for mercy.
Wang Hao looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "I am not a bloodthirsty person, but I also admit that I am not a good person. Without mentioning the other crimes your Yun Family committed, just the matter of targeting my parents back then would not have been good."
The already pale face of the old man begging for mercy immediately became even paler. His body swayed and he almost lost his balance. He muttered: "Could it be that the heavens really want our Yun Family to perish?"
Wang Hao laughed coldly, "It's not that the heavens want your Yun Family to die, it's me, Wang Hao.
"However, I also do not want to randomly kill the innocent. As long as you can prove that you are innocent and have not committed any heinous acts, I can spare your lives. If you are kind and have not done any evil deeds, it is not impossible for you to escape unscathed."
Wang Hao's last sentence undoubtedly gave hope to the people of the Yun Family, and the people of the Ling Family, who heard it, did not show any dissatisfaction, but a few elderly people instead, revealed an expression of praise.
It was clear that the Ling Family wasn't a bloodthirsty family. Although the Yun Family was an enemy family, and had oppressed and oppressed the Ling Family for the past ten years, the human heart was born of flesh and blood. To be able to kill the innocent without guilt, there weren't many people in the Ling Family.
After all, in the future, the Ling Family would have to rely on Wang Hao. If Wang Hao disagreed and started killing, then the future of the Ling Family would be filled with fear.
However, Wang Hao's benevolence did not give much hope to the members of the Yun Family. The eyes of most of the experts from the Yun Family present lit up, and then dimmed down, their expressions continuing to turn ashen, with some of them paralyzed on the ground, their eyes filled with despair.
There were only three people whose faces had regained some color. One of them was the old man who had spoken earlier.
The other two quickly walked up to the old man and supported him. The old man led the way.
The old man's eyes lit up, filled with hope for survival. He cupped his fists at Wang Hao and said: "Young Master Wang, the three of us do not dare to say that we have not done anything harmful, but we believe that we have not done anything great. We hope that Young Master Wang will give the three of us a chance.
"Very well. I will not move for the three of you. As for the others, all of them have their cultivations destroyed. Whether they live or die will depend on the results of the investigation."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he pointed with his fingers, immediately crippling the dantian and Qi of the other members of the Yun Family members.
"Leave the investigation to the City Lord's Mansion and the Ling Family. It shall be dealt with according to the laws of the empire."
Wang Hao instructed, and then continued: "Also, release the news that Taoist Master Yunxiao disciple Wang Hao is the son of the Ling Family's Ling Qingxue, get all the people who participated in that matter in Ming Province to personally escort to Crouching Dragon Villa to apologize to me, otherwise, within a year, our entire clan will be exterminated."
"Have Misty Rain House release Ling Qingxue immediately, or else the consequences will be the same as before. Within a year, annihilate the entire building."
