Immortal God of War-Chapter 68: Creating a Ruckus in the Ling Family_1

Qin Feiyang slowly stepped forward, a faint smile on his lips. "Stand up. A man should stand tall and not kneel so readily."

Ling Yunfei got up, his face full of gratitude. "Yes."

He knew very well that Qin Feiyang had agreed to help him purely out of sympathy, and because Qin Feiyang recognized his potential. But that didn’t matter! As long as he could turn his fate around and take revenge, he was willing to be that sword!

Qin Feiyang glanced at Ling Yunfei. "Are you sober now?"

Ling Yunfei’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he replied solemnly, "I sobered up the moment they went to the tavern to seize the Martial Arts Technique."

"Remember, I don’t like those who indulge excessively in alcohol; it hinders important matters. I’m not saying you can’t drink, just do so in moderation," Qin Feiyang said.

Ling Yunfei nodded. "Understood. I don’t usually care much for alcohol."

"That’s good. Now, let’s talk about you!" Qin Feiyang continued. "The most crucial issue now is to rescue your mother. Otherwise, even if I give you countless elixirs and Martial Arts Techniques, they won’t be of much use. Not unless you become a War King, possessing overwhelming combat power. But neither of us can achieve that in a short time."

"I know all of this, but saving my mother from under the very noses of the Great Clan Elder and Second Clan Elder—both Martial Ancestor-level experts—is harder than scaling the heavens!" Ling Yunfei sighed helplessly.

"Is your mother very strong?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

Ling Yunfei replied, a hint of pain in his eyes, "My mother doesn’t cultivate. She’s just an ordinary woman."

Strange. Is it necessary for two Clan Elders to personally guard an ordinary woman? Qin Feiyang mused, a growing sense of unease settling within him as he felt the matter becoming increasingly peculiar.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed. He instructed, "Wait here for me. Don’t wander off."

With that, he turned and quickly disappeared.

Ling Yunfei withdrew his gaze, looking up at the waning moon as a faint smile touched his lips. Like a lonely night wanderer, he stood in the darkness, murmuring to himself, "Mother, although this person is around my age, his maturity and methods are far beyond what I can compare to. More importantly, your son has a strong premonition that his background is anything but simple. Following him, perhaps I can truly leave Black Bear City and carve out a future for myself. Mother, this is the first major decision your son has ever made. You wouldn’t object, would you?"

About a hundred breaths’ time later, Qin Feiyang reappeared, waving his hand. "Take me to the Ling Family."

Ling Yunfei was stunned, asking in surprise, "What are we going to the Ling Family for?"

Qin Feiyang stated coldly, "Confrontation!"

Ling Yunfei’s eyes flickered with shock, and worry began to creep into his heart.

「The Ling Family Mansion!」

At this moment, it was filled with singing, laughter, and joy. For everyone in the Ling Family, tonight was a joyous occasion. Not only was Ling Sheng on the verge of entering the Martial Palace, but they had also acquired a superior Martial Arts Technique. But Qin Feiyang’s goal was to shatter this dream and turn their celebration into bitter disappointment!

At the entrance, two house servants stood ramrod straight, their faces also alight with excitement. But their expressions changed abruptly when they saw Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei approaching, one after the other.

"Ling Yunfei, why are you with Jian Haotian?"

"What are you bringing him to the Ling Family for?" the two guards shouted, their voices harsh.

Ling Yunfei started, "I..."

Qin Feiyang said, "Be decisive. Don’t waste words on them."

Seeing Qin Feiyang’s aggressive approach, the servant on the left hastily instructed his companion, "You hold them off! I’ll go inform the Family Head!" Then he turned and scrambled into the estate.

"Jian Haotian, you stop right there!" The remaining servant stood defiantly before the main gate, hand gripping the hilt of his blade, staring vigilantly at Qin Feiyang. "This is the Ling Family! We won’t tolerate your impudence here!"

"Today, I intend to do just that in the Ling Family!" Qin Feiyang strode forward like a ferocious tiger, his hair practically bristling with fury. His intangible aura forced the servant back step by step, large beads of sweat forming on the guard’s forehead.

"Get out of the way!"

With his thunderous shout, the servant was scared witless, his legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Yunfei was utterly incredulous. The Ling Family, for all its faults, was still one of Black Bear City’s three strongest families, boasting several Martial Ancestor-level experts. For a Four-star Martial Master, this place was akin to a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair. Yet this young man dared to barge in so audaciously! Such courage, such boldness... was he truly just a youth?

His talent is decent, but his temperament is still unstable. He needs more tempering. Qin Feiyang thought, shaking his head as he observed Ling Yunfei’s shocked expression. He himself, however, failed to realize that he was actually younger than Ling Yunfei.

"Lead the way." He grabbed Ling Yunfei’s arm.

Ling Yunfei flinched and quickly said, "The corridor to the right."

Qin Feiyang executed Smoke Step, speeding towards the end of the corridor, quickly outpacing the fleeing servant.

「...」

"Haha... Indeed, joyous occasions lift the spirits. Once Sheng’er enters the Martial Palace, he’ll have a chance to enter the Martial King Palace in the future! Then, as long as that person from the Jiang Family doesn’t intervene, our Ling Family will become the most powerful family in Black Bear City! Clan Elders, tonight we drink to our hearts’ content."

In a large hall, around a large, circular dining table, the Ling Family Head raised his wine cup, full of spirit, and laughed heartily. A dozen or so Clan Elders also beamed with delight.

Just as everyone was about to drain their cups, a light laugh sounded. "Better to arrive at an opportune moment than too early. Esteemed seniors of the Ling Family, would you mind if this junior joins the festivities?"

"Jian Haotian!" The Ling Family members rose as one, their gazes uniformly shifting to the doorway.

THUD. THUD. Accompanied by steady footsteps, Qin Feiyang strode into the hall, a broad smile on his face.

"What are you here for?"

"Barging in without an announcement—aren’t you far too arrogant?!"

"Get out of here immediately!"

The people from the Ling Family were instantly enraged. The atmosphere in the hall instantly grew heavy, becoming extremely tense!

"Hehe," Qin Feiyang chuckled. "If I had someone announce me beforehand, would I even have made it through the Ling Family’s gates? Don’t be nervous. I’m just a humble Four-star Martial Master; I can’t cause much of a stir in front of all of you."

At this moment, Ling Yunfei followed him into the hall, head bowed, looking deeply uneasy.

The Ling Family Head’s eyebrow twitched. He bellowed, "Who allowed you in here? Get out!"

"Family Head..." The servant who had run off earlier panted as he rushed in, pointing at Ling Yunfei. "Family H—"

"Don’t rush. Catch your breath and then speak," Qin Feiyang said, casually glancing around the hall’s decorations with a faint smile.

"Huff!" The servant took a deep breath. "Family Head! Clan Elders! It was Ling Yunfei who brought Jian Haotian in!"

"What?!"

"Ling Yunfei, what punishment do you deserve for this transgression?!"

"You little bastard! Have your wings hardened already? Are you trying to rebel?!"

The group of Clan Elders erupted in thunderous rage. The Ling Family Head, utterly incensed, strode towards Ling Yunfei and swung a slap at his face.

Qin Feiyang picked up a wine cup, sniffed it, and remarked lightly, "It smells quite fragrant. You all certainly know how to enjoy yourselves. However, Ling Yunfei, are you going to remain silent?"

Ling Yunfei’s body trembled. Just as the slap was about to connect, he abruptly raised his hand and caught the Ling Family Head’s wrist.

The Ling Family Head was stunned. He never imagined that this little whelp, who previously wouldn’t even dare to breathe loudly in his presence, would actually dare to resist?

"Second Uncle..." Ling Yunfei began, then corrected himself. "No, Family Head Ling! I am not your servant, nor am I a slave of the Ling Family! So from this day forward, do not shout and order me around!" Gathering his courage, Ling Yunfei looked the Ling Family Head straight in the eye, his voice firm and resolute.

"Audacious!"

"How dare you speak to your Second Uncle like that! Do you even know your place?" two Clan Elders roared.

"Of course, I know!"

"Ask yourselves, how did I respect you in the past? And you?

"You summoned me and dismissed me at will, beat and scolded me on a whim. You wouldn’t even grant me Lower Class Martial Arts Techniques!

"My status in the Ling Family is lower than even the servants. Don’t you find that laughable?

"I want to ask you, when have any of you ever treated me, Ling Yunfei, as a true descendant of the Ling Family?

"People like you—why should I respect you?

"Tell me, why?!" Ling Yunfei roared. At this moment, the resentment and humiliation that had accumulated in his heart for more than a decade erupted like a volcano!

The group of Clan Elders glared at him, furious, yet they were rendered speechless.

"On what grounds? On the grounds that I am the Family Head!" The Ling Family Head spoke with a chilling voice, True Qi surging from his palm. "You flout the family rules and show insubordination to your superiors. I will cripple you now!" He struck towards Ling Yunfei’s head!

This wasn’t just an attempt to cripple him; it was a clear intent to kill!

At that very moment, Qin Feiyang flicked his finger. The wine cup in his hand whistled through the air and smashed against the back of the Ling Family Head’s head. With a CRACK, the cup shattered, drenching him in wine.

This was a naked, blatant humiliation!

The eyes of everyone in the Ling Family immediately shifted to Qin Feiyang. Ling Yunfei seized the opportunity to quickly duck behind Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang offered an apologetic smile. "My apologies. My hand slipped."

"Your hand slipped?" The Ling Family Head was incandescent with rage, his features twisted in a furious snarl. "You little bastard! After I slaughter you, if the Elixir Palace investigates, I’ll tell them my hand slipped too!"

"Oh? By that logic, if I were to kill you, or perhaps later, wipe out your entire Ling Family with a wave of my hand, could I also claim my hand slipped?" a voice dripping with sarcasm suddenly interjected from outside.

Following this, Feng Cheng and Elder Mo walked into the hall side by side.

"Greetings, Elders," Qin Feiyang said with a cupped fist salute and a smile.

Ling Yunfei also bowed in respect.

Before coming, Qin Feiyang had worried that the Ling Family might try to harm him, which was why he had returned to the Elixir Palace to ask Feng Cheng and the other Elder for their assistance. They hadn’t refused and had been concealed nearby all along.

With their arrival, the members of the Ling Family visibly deflated, their arrogance diminishing.

The Ling Family Head cupped his fists and said, "Elders, we are all reasonable people. It was Jian Haotian who was disrespectful first. I am the head of a prominent family, yet he threw wine all over me in public. How am I supposed to maintain my dignity in Black Bear City after this?"

Feng Cheng asked, "He threw wine on you?"

The Ling Family Head pointed to the back of his head. "This is irrefutable proof!"

Feng Cheng said, "Jian Haotian, tell me, did you throw it?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "Reporting to Elder, Disciple did not."

"I knew it. You were framed by them." Feng Cheng coughed lightly. He turned to the Ling Family Head and said flatly, "You fabricate claims from thin air, slandering a Disciple of our Elixir Palace and seriously damaging our Elixir Palace’s reputation. Tell me, where did you get such audacious nerve?"
