Chapter 714: Returning Home!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing how Ling Yun chose to fight him, everyone from the Ling Family exchanged glances with each other. This was possible too?

Ling Lie was also astonished, but after a while, he smiled and said, “This kid… is really like how Old Cui described…”

If it wasn’t for the fact that they had just undergone a desperate war and almost got exterminated, Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li would have burst out laughing. Why was someone capable of defeating a Xiantian Realm Level Seven ninja so despicable?

Hmm… But despicable didn’t seem to be a nice way of describing someone who had just saved all their lives…

When the Ling Family was in grave danger, Ling Zhen had already found somewhere to place Ling Yong with Cui Lao. He called out for two men of sacrifice to look after them while he returned to the sixth courtyard and naturally witnessed everything.

Ling Zhen couldn’t believe his eyes because, according to the news he had gathered, Ling Zhen knew that this person was undoubtedly Ling Yun. That black blade was Ling Yun’s trademark!

Ling Zhen was emotional and shocked, and there was a confusing and complex feeling in his heart.

Ling Zhen was the head of the Ling Family, but after the Ling Family got exterminated, there was no longer any meaning in staying alive even as the head of the family. Therefore, he was protecting the Ling Family and all of its interests.

As a male descendant of the Ling Family, Ling Zhen was also a filial son. If he didn’t do what he did, Ling Lie would never have handed the throne to him.

However, out of the three sons that Ling Lie had, Ling Zhen had a serious shortcoming, which was that he got jealous easily.

Ling Xiao was stronger and more dazzling than him, so he grew envious of his own third brother. In the end, he even harmed his third brother to such a state and got what he wanted as the head of the family.

Even though the Ling Family suffered great humiliation and suffering during his reign, he was still the head of the family. This meant that other than Ling Lie, he had the ultimate power in the Ling Family.

However, a combination of both of his sons multiplied by a thousand wouldn’t even match one Ling Yun. This resulted in a bittersweet feeling for Ling Zhen.

Not only was Ling Yun stronger than both of his sons, but he was the strongest person in the Ling Family at this moment! Including Ling Zhen!

Even so, this wasn’t the time to think about all of that. Ling Zhen observed Ling Yun as he executed a breathtaking strike!

There wasn’t even any blade radiance, because Ling Yun kept all the pure Yin Qi within his blade. The blade descended from the sky and sliced cleanly through Yamada’s shoulder. His right shoulder was cleaved off!

Following Yamada’s devastating cry, his entire arm flew off, but no blood spilled out. The extreme cold from the blade had frozen the massive blade wound. The pure Yin Qi surged into Yamada’s body and started wreaking havoc. Very soon, a few of his meridians were destroyed!

At this point, Yamada finally realized how Ling Yun had shot two arrows and managed to pin Mitsui firmly to the ground.

It wasn’t due to pure arrow damage! More terrifyingly, it was due to Ling Yun’s pure Yin Qi!

The pure Yin Qi of a Physique Tempering Stage Nine expert executed to its limit could reach a terrifyingly cold temperature. Even a Xiantian Realm Level Seven expert would lose his Xiantian True Qi protective shield and be trampled on!

If Ling Yun chose to execute his Arctic Ice Technique, he was confident that he could reach a temperature of negative 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This was undoubtedly the nightmare of any expert below Xiantian Realm Level Seven.

As for Ling Yun’s pure Yang Qi, he could attain a high temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit even without using his Divine Yang cultivation technique. This was already more impressive than ordinary flames, which could be instantly used to evaporate snow or ice!

The Yin-Yang harmony balance was one of the greatest cultivation techniques, so it was naturally going to have heaven-defying abilities!

During the later stages of Qi Cultivation, the Yin-Yang harmony balance could even evolve into the Everlasting Yin-Yang Sacred Technique. It truly had many uses!

“The four of you, stay clear!”

After Ling Yun landed, he arrived next to the severely wounded Yamada and started brandishing his Devil’s Blade around wildly!

He immediately chopped off Yamada’s legs and pressed on his acupuncture points to prevent him from dying!

Following this, Ling Yun left for the fifth courtyard and followed the set pattern to break Mitsui’s legs, pressing on his acupuncture points as well. After that, he proceeded to kick him into the sky. He landed on the hard ground like a badly mangled rolling gourd, right next to Yamada.

“Har…”

Ling Yun finally let out a huge breath of air.

Ling Yun’s impressive display of ruthlessness left everyone in shock and fear. None of them could bear to swallow their saliva. Chester even thought to himself, Compared to Boss, my nickname doesn’t seem fitting…

“Take all of these deformities and toss them into the corner of the courtyard! I don’t want to look at such a disgusting sight!”

Ling Yun gave his order to Chester and the others.

After settling that, Ling Yun flew over and arrived in front of Ling Lie. He pulled down his mask and revealed his handsome face as he got on his knees. He kowtowed three times to greet Ling Lie respectfully!

“Grandson Ling Yun is back home tonight to greet Grandpa!”

Ling Lie was dumbstruck!

Ling Zhen was dumbstruck!

Ling Yue was equally as dumbstruck!

Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were tongue-tied, the three of them pointing at Ling Yun’s face. Their mouths couldn’t open any bigger, and their eyes looked like they had just discovered a new continent. They were shocked, surprised, excited, and in complete disbelief…

There was no way to describe their feelings!

Ling Yun’s appearance was too similar to Ling Xiao, and he was basically a living duplicate of Ling Xiao’s younger self. The only difference was that his eyes, mouth, and dimples looked even better!

When the men of sacrifice witnessed yet another twist in the plot, they were stupefied!

What? The expert who came to their rescue was actually a descendant of the Ling Family? This… This was unheard of!

Never in Ling Lie’s wildest dreams would he have thought that Ling Yun would be this direct. He simply got on his knees and kowtowed to him, even addressing him as Grandpa. In that moment, he completely forgot about his internal injuries. His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

“Ah ah, ahem ahem ahem…”

In the seventh courtyard, Cui Lao, who had just woken up, coincidentally heard that Ling Yun was back and that he kowtowed to Ling Lie. Despite his internal injuries, he laughed, and then two painful coughs followed suit. He couldn’t help but shed tears of happiness!

Finally, Young Master was finally back home!

Only Cui Lao knew how much they had been through since he found Ling Yun! It really wasn’t easy at all!

It didn’t take long for Ling Lie to return to his senses. There were warm tears in his eyes as emotions flooded through his heart, and his mouth couldn’t stop twitching. He tried his best to maintain his composure, and even though his heart was unsettled, he accepted Ling Yun’s kowtows.

“Yun Er! Good child! My grandson! You’re finally home! Grandpa is happy… really happy! Ahem ahem ahem…”

Ling Lie waved his right hand and pushed the dazed Ling Xiu away as he struggled to sit down. He extended his trembling arms to hold Ling Yun’s arms.

“My poor grandson… Hurry and stand up so that Grandpa can take a closer look… Let me see… Alike, you really do look alike…”

Ling Lie was so emotional that he actually held onto Ling Yun’s shoulders and got up in an instant. He carefully caressed Ling Yun’s face, truly not knowing what to say.

“Xiao Er! Third Son! Your son, Ling Yun, is finally back home tonight!” Ling Lie suddenly cried out to the sky, shouting excitedly!

Presently, Ling Yun could also feel the warmth in his blood. Both his eyes were red, and his throat was trembling.

This was his true bloodline, his true family, and his true next of kin connected by blood!

Initially, Ling Yun believed that he could accept all of this easily because he transmigrated here. He merely took over the body of this unlucky Ling Yun. In the Cultivation World, this was called Inhabitation. It was so common that it was like how the people in the south loved eating rice! It was a common sight!

Finding his biological parents and knowing his true identity was merely his way of helping the deceased Ling Yun be a good son and grandson. He merely wanted to help him do some things that he should have done as a son and a grandson. He didn’t expect himself to get so emotional.

Additionally, he was a heaven-defying cultivator who lived to become stronger than ever. He was focused on becoming unrivaled, and the road of cultivation could be long and boundless.

When Ling Yun heard of what happened 18 years ago, he became enraged because he wasn’t willing to lose out and had this nature of seeking revenge. As for kinship… he didn’t really put much thought into it.

However, when Ling Yun arrived in Beijing, he felt this desperate feeling of wanting to meet Ling Lie. He could feel the connection deep within his blood.

When Ling Yun realized that the Ling Family was in trouble, he felt something in his heart, and concern wasn’t the word to explain that feeling.

His heart was connected to the safety of the Ling Family!

At the very least, it wasn’t just a connection in his blood but also his soul. This was what surprised Ling Yun the most!

He rushed down from the sky and witnessed the Ling Family going through a deathmatch. Each one of them fought their hardest and was unwilling to give in to the opponent. When he saw them getting injured, god knows how he felt!

When Ling Yun finally took care of all the enemies and got on his knees in front of Ling Lie, he finally understood.

When he knelt down in front of Ling Lie, Ling Yun had this indescribable feeling in his heart where he felt like himself. He felt at ease and honest, and that hole and the regret he always felt in his soul were gone in that instant.

The soul here wasn’t the reconstruction of the reincarnation but the frightening soul in Ling Yun’s past life, where he was at the Tribulation Stage!

But why? How was this possible? Ling Yun arrived on Earth and returned to the Ling Family, but how could it make up for the gap in the soul that he had in another world?

However, this was true, and Ling Yun didn’t have time to think too much about it. He wiped the tears from his eyes as he revealed a genuine smile. “Grandpa, let your grandson heal your injuries for you first.”
