Chapter 39

"Tell me, where is Fang Ling hiding?" A man with a wide belt around his waist, about half a foot wide, fiercely whipped a middle-aged man in his forties with a steel-spiked whip.

With this whip, a deep bloodstain appeared on the middle-aged man's body!

A miserable cry echoed from the middle-aged man's mouth.

"Sir, please stop, we are just the Fang family's neighbors, and we have never had any dealings with them. How could we know where Fang Ling is hiding?" A woman in her thirties, standing next to the middle-aged man, grabbed the man's shoulder and pleaded loudly.

"Don't know? Still being stubborn!" The man spoke, and then swung the whip to strike the middle-aged man again.

The woman cried out frantically, "We are not lying, we really don't know!"

"Even if you don't know, it's easy. If you accompany me tonight, I'll be merciful and spare you. Hehe, I won't hide it from you, my ancestor has already said that if we can't find Fang Ling tomorrow, we will kill all of you. We will use your blood to tell everyone in Dinging City what it means to offend the Chen family!"

As the man said this, he tore open the woman's blouse and laughed loudly, "What a pity, what a pity, if you blame anyone, blame the fact that your home is next to the Fang family! Hahaha!"

The woman's wailing seemed to be the man's greatest enjoyment, but just as he was about to have his fun, he suddenly heard a calm voice, "What is the price of offending your Chen family? I really want to know!"

"Who?" The man, startled, grabbed the long knife beside him.

But when he looked around, he found himself no longer in the small room. The misty air made it impossible for him to distinguish directions.

"Aren't you looking for me? I am Fang Ling!" A young man walked out, his voice calm.

Although the man had been shouting to find Fang Ling, the name made his heart tremble.

He knew very well that Fang Ling had directly killed the family head, Chen Shengnan. How could he be a match for Fang Ling?

"You... you are not..." The man's words were stammering.

At this moment, Fang Ling said calmly, "I heard that your Chen family wants to show Dinging City the price of offending you. I plan to imitate you and let everyone know the price of offending the Fang family!"

Before the man could speak, a lightning-fast sword light beheaded him.

Picking up the man's head, Fang Ling took five steps forward. A Chen family man with a long spear was shouting in the mist of the Five Elements Array, "Who, come out, I want to tell you, the Chen family will take revenge on those who offend us, and they will not have a good end!"

Fang Ling had no time to argue. A flash of sword light, and the man's head was gone.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Fang Ling left the Five Elements Array. The hundreds of Chen family warriors he had captured in the Western Suburbs Dust Map were now silent.

Standing in the Chen family courtyard, Fang Ling coldly stared at the surrounding smoke and continued walking forward.

"Who?"

A man at the Fifth Level of Qi Cultivation, seeing Fang Ling, asked in a deep voice.

Fang Ling smiled, "Me!"

The man just felt something was wrong when his head fell off strangely.

A black blade lightly passed through his neck.

Under the night sky, the Chen family was like a fierce beast, with many of its members in a state of rage.

After all, the family head, Chen Shengnan, had been killed.

Almost all the Chen family members knew that the Chen family was about to rise to become the top family in Dangluo. But at this moment, the family head, Chen Shengnan, was directly killed.

This was a great humiliation to everyone.

They wanted to wash away this humiliation, they wanted to kill Fang Ling, and they wanted to show the entire Dinging City the might of the Chen family!

As for the fact that it was the Chen family who initially targeted Fang Ling, they did not think there was anything wrong with it.

"Seventh Brother, I have already had the western city square cleaned up. We will kill the Fang family's servants and neighbors there tomorrow morning!" In the night corridor, a middle-aged man spoke to Chen Shengtong in a deep voice.

Chen Shengtong nodded, "Yes, Tenth Brother, since Uncle Ji has decided, we must do it well. By the way, have you caught that skinny monkey?"

"Not yet, he might have escaped with Fang Ling," Chen Shengba, known as Tenth Brother, said reluctantly.

"Uncle Ji said that none of them can escape. Although Fang Ling can hide for a while, he cannot hide forever. Not to mention that Second Brother is about to return from the Nine Lotus Sect, even if Qing Luo Gongzi returns from... there will be no place for them to hide in this vast world."

Chen Shengtong patted Chen Shengba, "Tenth Brother, the Chen family is in a critical time now. We must work together and help Uncle Ji more!"

Although Chen Shengba looked rough, he was smart and understood Chen Shengtong's meaning.

He immediately said, "Seventh Brother, you can count on me. I won't let you down."

"That's good, ha ha. It's late, Tenth Brother, go back and rest. You have a busy day tomorrow." Chen Shengtong patted Chen Shengba's shoulder, showing concern.

Chen Shengba nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around, "Seventh Brother, Uncle Ji mentioned something called Yu Hu just now. It seemed he was very envious. What is it?"

Chen Shengtong's face turned serious. He didn't want to say anything, but he had just won Tenth Brother's support. If he let this small matter affect their relationship, it would be a loss.

Moreover, although the matter was secret, it wouldn't benefit Tenth Brother, and he wouldn't talk about it.

"Tenth Brother, you only mentioned this to me. Don't mention it to anyone else in the future."

"I'm not exaggerating, but if this gets to the wrong ears, it could cost you your head!"

Chen Shengba's face changed, "Seventh Brother, is it really that serious?"

"Tenth Brother, would I lie to you? Uncle Ji mentioned Yu Hu blood, which appears once every sixty years. It is said that this blood can transform a person. Otherwise, why would Qing Luo Gongzi rush there first?"

"Yu Hu blood, is it produced near Dinging City? If so, can we get a share?" Chen Shengba asked, eager to try.

Chen Shengtong laughed bitterly, "Tenth Brother, I advise you not to think about it. This blood is the eye of the Nine Lotus Sect and other major sects. Whoever touches it will die without a burial place!"

"Seventh Brother, where is the Yu Hu blood located? I'll avoid it to save my life!" Chen Shengba took a deep breath and asked carefully.

Chen Shengtong laughed, "You don't need to worry. The secret place where Yu Hu blood is produced opens only once every sixty years, and it is said to be very dangerous. Even members of the major sects have died there."

"Of course, for the next few days, you should avoid the Guyang Ridge in the western city. Uncle Ji said the secret place is there."

After a few more words, they parted ways. Chen Shengtong, feeling good, walked leisurely toward his courtyard.

He dismissed the servants who were ready to serve him and prepared to practice his cultivation to recover from his fatigue. Tomorrow was an important day for the Chen family, and he needed to perform well to earn more points.

With the Chen family leaderless, he couldn't miss this opportunity and had to work hard.

Just as he closed his eyes, Chen Shengtong heard footsteps, which made him uncomfortable. He angrily said, "I already said not to disturb me today!"

"Mr. Chen, you have quite a temper!" A calm voice sounded in his ear.

This made Chen Shengtong jump. Before he could react, he saw a man standing coldly in front of him.

Fang Ling!

When Chen Shengtong saw Fang Ling's face clearly, he was shocked.

"You... how did you get here?"

Fang Ling touched his chin and said calmly, "I heard that your Chen family is looking for me, so I came!"

Chen Shengtong suddenly leaped up and threw a handful of fine steel needles like a shower of flowers into the air.

Poison Dragon Needles, a weapon Chen Shengtong had spent over a thousand taels of gold to create, each needle was finely forged and soaked in poison for a year.

Even a cultivator at the Sixth Level would die if hit by these needles.

But as the needles were released, Fang Ling's figure disappeared.

Chen Shengtong, unable to believe what he saw, was at a loss. Just as he was unsure what to do, a hand struck his back fiercely.

"Thud"

Chen Shengtong fell to the ground.

"Fang Ling, I tell you, if you kill me..." Chen Shengtong, feeling his heart and lungs in pain, pointed at Fang Ling, but before he could finish his threat, blood gushed from his mouth.

Fang Ling reappeared in front of Chen Shengtong, his face still calm, but in Chen Shengtong's eyes, he looked like a deadly Yama.

"Mr. Chen, I just want to know some things."

Fang Ling's voice was not loud, but it gave a chilling feeling.

Twenty minutes later, in the Five Elements Array, Chen Shengtong's head was separated from his body. Fang Ling, standing next to him, fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Fang Ling was thinking of only one thing, or rather, one name.

Jingyanggang Dust!

This was the name he had learned from Chen Shengtong.

This name made his heart surge with excitement!

His blood was boiling!

He wanted to show those who thought they could control his fate what it meant to be a commoner's anger!

He couldn't let his blood flow for a thousand miles!

But he could let it flow for five steps!
