Immortal God of War-Chapter 83: Decisive Action_1

At this moment, everyone was concerned about Ling Yunfei’s mother. They had no defenses up and, more importantly, never imagined that even now, the Ling Family Head would still be so obstinate as to try and kill Qin Feiyang. But just because everyone else was caught off guard didn’t mean Qin Feiyang was too. Uncle Yuan had repeatedly warned him to go all out, no matter the enemy’s strength. Therefore, even though the Ling Family Head was now a captive, Qin Feiyang hadn’t let his guard down.

As the Ling Family Head’s fist came hurtling down, Qin Feiyang grabbed Ling Yunfei without hesitation, engaging the Smoke Step and swiftly retreated. He knew that if the Ling Family Head’s attack missed, he would inevitably target Ling Yunfei next. The Ling Family Head’s punch missed, but he didn’t give up and continued to charge towards the two. Given Qin Feiyang’s cultivation, even augmented by the Smoke Step, his speed was no match for the Ling Family Head’s. If no one else had been present, they would both surely have died today.

But one mustn’t forget there were other powerhouses around. Luo Xiong and the Martial Palace’s Hall Master reacted, lunging at the Ling Family Head almost simultaneously, a chilling glint in their eyes. Both were War Kings; their speed was incredible! In the blink of an eye, they caught the Ling Family Head and forcibly subdued him. The Ling Family Head’s face was ashen; he was in total despair. He knew clearly that now no one would come forward to help him. The City Lord, though he might have wished to, lacked the courage.

Qin Feiyang asked in a grave voice, "City Lord, how do you plan to deal with this man?"

"What do you think?" the City Lord asked back.

Qin Feiyang replied, "In my opinion, just kill him. That would solve everything."

The City Lord said, "This matter isn’t serious enough to warrant death. Let’s do this: I’ll post a notice later, expelling the Ling Family from Black Bear City."

The Ling Family Head’s heart leaped with joy. As long as I’m not dead, there’s still a chance!

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. Expel them from Black Bear City? That’s a joke. The City Lord is obviously still protecting the Ling Family. Qin Feiyang glanced at the City Lord, then back at the Ling Family Head, who was being held down by Luo Xiong and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace, kneeling on the ground, unable to move. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity! A glint flashed in his eyes. He said faintly, "In that case, I have a few words I’d like to say to the Ling Family Head."

He strode over, leaned close to the Ling Family Head’s ear, and whispered, "Do you think you can escape your fate today just because the City Lord is helping you?"

With that said, he drew Blue Snow! With a fierce wave, he slit the Ling Family Head’s throat and immediately sheathed the weapon. The speed was incredible, and everyone was utterly unprepared. They only saw a flash of white light, and then a clean, deep gash appeared on the Ling Family Head’s throat. Blood spurted out like a pillar!

"You..." The Ling Family Head glared at Qin Feiyang, his eyes full of venomous hatred. He seemed to want to say something, but before he could utter a word, his head slumped, and he dropped dead on the spot.

Everyone was stunned. The Ling Family disciples, in particular, were extremely anxious. With their Family Head dead, their main pillar of support had collapsed; for them, it was like the end of the world.

BOOM! Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted like a tidal wave, overwhelming the entire scene! The City Lord was furious! Provoked repeatedly, he was on the verge of going berserk. At the same time, Luo Xiong also released his aura, directly confronting the City Lord’s. The two powerhouses stared at each other, their expressions growing increasingly cold.

HUMPH! Eventually, the City Lord snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned away in anger. He didn’t dare to stay any longer, afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist fighting Luo Xiong.

Once the City Lord departed, the Ling Family’s disciples and servants became even more panicked. Although the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion had the power to contend with Luo Xiong, he clearly didn’t want to meddle. The Hall Master of the Martial Palace’s stance had also shifted because of Ling Yunfei. Now, who could help them? Who would be willing to? They all knew that today might very well be the Ling Family’s last.

Luo Xiong glanced at the Ling Family members, saying, "Let’s go. We’ll wait outside."

The group left the Ling Family estate. However, watching Qin Feiyang and the others depart, the Ling Family members felt no joy, only increasing confusion and a heavy sense of dread. Even though the Furious Sun blazed high in the sky, they felt a suffocating gloom hanging over the Ling Family.

Fatty sidled up to Qin Feiyang and said with a fawning smile, "Brother Jian, you must keep your promise."

"I definitely won’t shortchange you," Qin Feiyang patted Fatty’s shoulder, then turned to Ling Yunfei with a faint smile. "When Old Feng and the others bring your mother back, you must thank them properly, and this Master Fatty here too."

"Yes." Ling Yunfei nodded, cupping his hands. "Thanks a lot, Brother Butterball."

Fatty waved his hand. "We’re all brothers here, no need for such politeness! But, kid, you’re pretty good at hiding. You not only deceived the Ling Family for over a decade but also everyone in Black Bear City."

"I didn’t want it to be this way," Ling Yunfei said dejectedly. freewёbnoνel-com

Fatty walked over, slung an arm around Ling Yunfei’s shoulder, and chuckled. "Brother, a wonderful life is waiting for us to enjoy. As for those past misfortunes, let’s just treat them like a fart we let out—it’s others who have to smell the stink, right?"

"Uh!" Ling Yunfei was taken aback. What kind of logic was that? However, after hearing Fatty’s words, he did feel considerably lighter at heart.

Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. Although Fatty often seemed unreliable, he was quite dependable when it mattered most.

"Ling Yunfei, I killed your second uncle. Do you hate me?" Qin Feiyang suddenly asked.

"Of course not," Ling Yunfei replied. "I originally thought that if he died in front of me, I would feel at least a little sad. But when he really did die before my eyes, I found I couldn’t feel any sorrow at all. Instead, there was a strong sense of gratification in my heart."

Qin Feiyang and Fatty exchanged a look, realizing just how deep the resentment must run. Ling Yunfei had likely never experienced a single peaceful day growing up.

"Sirs, who actually killed Zhao Liu and Li Qi?" "And why did the City Lord look so furious just now?" As Qin Feiyang and his group stepped out of the Ling Family estate, the heads of the various major families immediately surrounded them, their eyes full of bewildered suspicion.

Luo Xiong said, "It was the Ling Family Head who instigated Steward Ling to commit the murders, all to frame Jian Haotian!" The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Fatty stepped forward, strutting and shouting, "And let me tell you something else! The Ling Family Head is dead, and the City Lord himself has ordered that the Ling Family be banished from Black Bear City!" This news instantly caused an explosion of clamor throughout the crowd. Within mere moments, it spread to every corner of Black Bear City, known by all.

Some were shocked, others delighted. Those who rejoiced were, naturally, the Family Heads of the Jiang Family and the Mu Family. With the Ling Family eliminated, they had one less powerful competitor. From this day forward, the balance of power in Black Bear City would no longer be a tripartite standoff. Most importantly, without the Ling Family, the benefits they stood to gain would be even greater. As for the Family Heads of the smaller clans, they were likely already pondering how they might rise to prominence and become the third major family, taking the Ling Family’s place.

「An hour later.」

Feng Cheng and Elder Mo finally returned, a woman following behind them. She was disheveled, her face deathly pale and utterly haggard, her clothes filthy and tattered. She looked as if she had just crawled out of a garbage heap, a nauseating stench emanating from her. Moreover, her wrists and ankles were bound with two jet-black iron chains, each as thick as an infant’s arm. They clanged with her every movement. Both chains were incredibly heavy, making each step an arduous effort.

"Mother!" Ling Yunfei’s body trembled. He stared at the woman, tears instantly streaming down his face, his heart aching with grief. It wasn’t just Ling Yunfei; even Qin Feiyang, Luo Xiong, and the others couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

"Fei’er!" The woman also saw Ling Yunfei. She stopped and called out softly, tears streaming down her own face.

"Mother..." Ling Yunfei roared, rushing forward to embrace her. They clung to each other, weeping inconsolably.

Luo Xiong asked, "Old Feng, Old Mo, why didn’t you remove the iron chains from her?"

Feng Cheng chuckled. "Something like this is best left for her son to do!"

Elder Mo also had a slight smile on his face.

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled, "Elders, what about the Ling Family’s Clan Elders?"

Feng Cheng replied, "We let them go."

"Let them go?!" Qin Feiyang’s expression changed. Those Clan Elders are Martial Ancestors! This is like releasing tigers back into the mountains!

Feng Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly. "Don’t worry. I taught them a harsh lesson. I believe they won’t dare to trouble you or Ling Yunfei again."

"Let’s hope so," Qin Feiyang muttered. The Ling Family’s downfall was my doing. I killed their Family Head. I don’t believe those Clan Elders will just let this go. But they’ve already been released, so what can be done? I’ll just have to be more careful in the future.

Luo Xiong smiled and said, "Jian Haotian, let’s go. We should give mother and son some time alone."

Qin Feiyang nodded. Although he had many questions, now was clearly not the time to ask them.

After Qin Feiyang and his group left, the others also gradually dispersed. The Jiang Family Head glanced at the Ling Family’s main gate, an inscrutable glint in his eyes. He approached the Mu Family Head and whispered, "I have something to discuss with you."

The Mu Family Head looked at him in surprise. "Coincidentally, I also have something I wish to discuss with you."

The two Family Heads then blended into the crowd and quickly departed.

Soon, only the Hall Master of the Martial Palace and Ling Yunfei with his mother remained. The Martial Palace Hall Master stepped forward and said with a warm smile, "Yunfei, I’m sure your mother is tired. Let’s go back to the Martial Palace first. Let her have a hot bath and relax properly, then you two can talk at your leisure."

"Alright." Ling Yunfei nodded, then glanced around, slightly startled. "Where are Jian Haotian and the others?"

The Martial Palace Hall Master replied, "They’ve already left."

Ling Yunfei said anxiously, "But I haven’t even thanked them properly! How could they leave?"

"There will be plenty of time later. What’s the rush?" The Martial Palace Hall Master shook his head with a smile.

"That’s true." Ling Yunfei nodded with a smile. After borrowing a dagger from the Martial Palace Hall Master and carefully cutting through the two iron chains, he supported his mother. Recounting the experiences of the past few days, they walked towards the Elixir Palace with the Martial Palace Hall Master.

「At the same time.」

Guards from the City Lord’s Mansion went to the various city gates and posted a notice. Its content was roughly as follows: The Ling Family has spread rumors, caused trouble, and engaged in villainy. Effective immediately, they are banished from Black Bear City. All Ling Family disciples are required to leave Black Bear City before sunrise tomorrow. Once this notice was posted, the Ling Family’s demise became an unalterable fact.

「But in the City Lord’s residence.」

The City Lord summoned two guards, both of whom were his trusted confidants. "Leave the city immediately," he ordered. "Find the Ling Family’s Clan Elders, no matter what. After you find them, don’t make a sound and don’t bring them back here. For now, settle them in the nearby deep mountains and await my next command." The two guards acknowledged the order and departed at once.

You little bastard, do you think this is over? I’m telling you, it’s far from it! The City Lord sneered, a potent killing intent surging in his eyes.
