Chapter 41 Sacrificing the Spirit in Heaven



Zhao family?

The Gu poison that Master Su suffered from was the Heart-devouring Gu, a type no common man could ever come into contact with.

Even though the Zhao family was ranked among the top families in Jiangnan Province, they couldn't possibly possess the Heart-devouring Gu!

Upon seeing the Heart-devouring Gu, Ye Ling thought of a sect— the Witch Sect!

The Witch Sect was located in Southern Xinjiang, but no one knew exactly where in Southern Xinjiang it was!

Southern Xinjiang, located in the southwest, boasts continuous mountain ranges known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

It was rumored that the Witch Sect was within these Hundred Thousand Mountains, but no one had ever found its precise location!

The cultivation of any Gu by the Witch Sect required no small sacrifice.

And for a malignant Gu like the Heart-devouring Gu, the required sacrifice was even greater!

Hence, the Witch Sect cultivated several powerful families across the country to amass wealth for them, ensuring the cultivation of their Gu!

The Zhao family was most likely one of these cultivated families!

In an instant, Ye Ling thought a great deal.

Smiling and shaking his head, Ye Ling decided not to think about it anymore.

What of the Witch Sect, if they truly dared to make a move against Old Master Su, Ye Ling would naturally make them understand what fear meant!

"Now that we have explained the matter with the Gu poison, let's talk about the incident with the Ye family from back then," he said.

Ye Ling glanced at Tian Xiong and began to speak.

Tian Xiong, not daring to hesitate, said with his head lowered, "The incident with the Ye family back then was also instigated by people from Ba Hall..."

"Family Head Tian sure knows how to pass the blame—first the Zhao family, now Ba Hall," Ye Ling said.

Ye Ling nodded, then suddenly shifted the conversation, "Could it be that your Tian family is just a dog kept by Ba Hall and the Zhao family, unwilling to disobey their commands?"

Having said that, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu understood and four strong bursts of energy shot out from his fingertips, instantly piercing through Tian Xiong's limbs!

"Ah!"

A piercing scream echoed through the Tian family courtyard.

"If it wasn't for your ambitions, Family Head Tian, how could Ba Hall have approached your Tian family?" Ye Ling said indifferently.

After that, he walked out of the main hall of the Tian family, while behind him in the same hall, piercing screams continued to echo one after another.

A moment later, Ye Jiu appeared beside Ye Ling like a specter.

"My lord, they are all killed," he said.

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded, his eyes filled with indifference.

Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and said, "You think we should run because we saw the three of you sneaky mice?"

Since all three were dressed in night clothes and wearing black masks, revealing only their eyes, their expressions were unclear.

However, from their cold gazes, it was not hard to see that Ye Ling's words had completely infuriated them.

"Hmph! You really think having a Grandmaster by your side means you can dismiss everything?"

The leading man snorted coldly, his words tinged with disdain.

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Jiu beside him.

Grandmaster realm?

Are you kidding me?

"Looks like you've taken us for granted?"

"Just don't know who you guys are?"

Ye Ling looked at the three men in black, asked.

Thinking that Ye Ling was intimidated, the man laughed loudly and removed his mask, revealing an elderly face.

"Today you are doomed, telling you our identities wouldn't hurt."

"Listen up, I am Long Xing from Ba Tang, an early Great Grandmaster!"

"These two are my disciples, both at the mid-Grandmaster strength!"

Long Xing's face bore a mocking smile, completely confident in capturing Ye Ling and his companion!

Ye Ling's brows twitched. Ye Jiu had just crippled Master Liu today. Had Ba Tang's people come so soon?

"You don't need to act this time, I'm in a rush to get back for dinner!"

Ye Ling stopped Ye Jiu, who was about to make a move, and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu was startled, his eyes filled with joy.

After many years, he would finally see his master in action again.

In Ye Jiu's astonished gaze, streaks of energy burst forth from Ye Ling's body, like javelins, heading straight for Long Xing and his men!

The energy had almost materialized, like long spears, producing intense, piercing sounds as they tore through the air!

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The spears punctured Long Xing and his men's bodies almost instantaneously, pinning them firmly against their car!

"You... you are the War King!?"

Long Xing looked at Ye Ling in horror, his voice filled with disbelief.

Ye Ling just smiled ambiguously, then released another burst of energy from his fingertips, heading straight for the vehicle's fuel tank!
