Chapter 658: Wipe Out the Entire Family, No Mercy!
Not long after, the news of Ling Fan's return swept across every corner of Huaxia like a hurricane.
The petty and insignificant figures who had been restless before, after being shocked, all ceased their scheming!
Inside the Leng family hall.
"Damn it, I've received news that that guy didn't die. After causing trouble in Snow Country, he has come back!" Leng Zhenyu said, his face ugly with concern.
"The information might not be credible, right? It's all coming from Tian Yun. Something indeed did happen in Snow Country recently.
I've already looked into it. There was just an earthquake there in the past few days, and it has nothing to do with that damn Ling Fan!" Leng Xiuwen shook his head disdainfully.
"Hmm, Snow Country is indeed an earthquake-prone area. It's normal for it to have a couple of earthquakes. Are you sure it really has nothing to do with that guy?" Leng Zhenyu frowned and inquired.
Leng Xiuwen, that good-for-nothing, could get any useful information? He was nothing more than an extravagant young master. His so-called information channels were not worth mentioning.
After the incident, Snow Country immediately locked down the news. The official statement to the public was indeed that there had been an earthquake within the country. They didn't mention anything about Ling Fan.
About the true insider information, only those superpowers around the world, as well as the national high-level authorities, truly understood some of it.
"Heh, I think that Tian Yun is out of options and came up with this method of creating a diversion. Trying to bluff people with Ling Fan's name!" Leng Xiuwen let out a cold laugh.
"That's right, most likely it's just that. The guy was blown up in Snow Country, we have conclusive evidence, how could he possibly come back from the dead?" Leng Liangce said coldly.
He nearly had a heart attack when he suddenly received this news. If that guy was still alive, it would spell disaster for their Leng family.
"Should we investigate this matter a bit more? Just in case..." Leng Su frowned.
"What's there to 'just in case' about? I refuse to believe that guy could just jump out of his grave!" Su Ting also scornfully sneered.
"It's just that Leng Kaicheng and his son are really too disappointing. They are so cowardly and now they are afraid of retaliation and have severed ties with our Leng family!" Su Ting thought of the father and son duo, her face turning cold.
"Heh, sister-in-law, why bother yourself with such trash? Good riddance that they've left the Leng family. It's better for the useless mud not to stick to the wall!" Leng Zhenyu sneered, not giving a damn about Leng Kaicheng.
At this moment, at the Long Family.
Long Tianyu had also received the news of Ling Fan's return. He felt both shock and joy. These past few days, he had sensed a change in his grandfather's attitude. Long Tianjun's covert actions seemed to have become more frequent.
"Ring ring ring~"
The phone rang. Long Tianyu, lost in thought, picked up the call instinctively!
"Hello?" Long Tianyu greeted.
"Tie up Long Tianjun for me. I'll come to see you later!" A cold and indifferent voice came through the phone.
Upon hearing this, Long Tianyu suddenly shuddered.
"Ling... Young Master Ling? You... You're really alright?" Long Tianyu's eyes widened as he stammered.
"Hmm, you've done pretty well, kid, or else I would have had to deal with you too!" Ling Fan said casually with a laugh over the phone.
Listening to this, Long Tianyu felt like his soul had walked through Ghost Gate.
"Young Master Ling, what are you talking about? I, Long Tianyu, would never be disloyal and ungrateful!" Long Tianyu, feeling his heart skip a beat, quickly stated his position.
"Got it, go and get things done!" Ling Fan instructed indifferently before hanging up the phone.
By then, he had already arrived at the Imperial Capital and was on his way to the Leng family.
After returning to Binzhou, he first sought out Xia Ying to understand the current situation in the Secular World and the events that had transpired.
Among these, the Leng family was the most defiant, collaborating with many consortium powers to oppress Tian Yun. Next was Long Tianjun's remaining forces.
He also learned that Shangguan Yue had almost been abducted by Long Tianjun in the Imperial Capital; it was only due to Long Tianyu's intervention that she was saved.
Xia Ying had even summoned back some of Tian Yun's key forces to Binzhou, protected at all costs by He Feichen and others from the Zhongnan Martial Association. After all, Binzhou was Tian Yun's stronghold.
Long managed like a cast-iron fortress, the loyalty of these people toward him was quite reliable, making it difficult for outside forces to infiltrate, which made it relatively the safest place.
After understanding the ins and outs of the situation, Official Ling rushed straight to the Imperial Capital. Seeing that he was about to reach the Leng family, he made a phone call to Long Tianyu. After settling things with the Leng family, he was certainly not going to let Long Tianjun off.
Leng family.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Don't be confused by those groundless rumors. The more Tian Yun behaves like this, the more it shows their guilty conscience and desperation!" Leng Liangce tapped his cane lightly and spoke indifferently.
"Yes, Father, Tian Yun is already at its last gasp. With a little more effort from us, we can completely trap it. The humiliation that boy inflicted on me, I want to take it all back from Tian Yun!" Leng Zhenyu said with a grim and sinister smile on his face.
"Heh, quite resentful, aren't you? Today, I'll give you a chance. Whatever you want to take back, you can try to take from me!" A calm and indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
With those words, the temperature in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing point. Everyone felt a bone-chilling cold.
Leng Liangce's hand trembled holding the cane, nearly falling off his chair.
Leng Zhenyu's breath got stuck in his throat, nearly suffocating.
Leng Su, Su Ting, and others looked at each other in dismay—they were dumbfounded. Had this guy really just jumped out of the grave?
In a few breaths' time, a handsome figure appeared before everyone's eyes—who could it be but Ling Fan?
"You... you..." Leng Liangce's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Heh, don't be so surprised. It's truly your Leng family that surprises me!" Ling Fan chuckled and walked directly into the center of the hall.
The faces of everyone in the hall turned pale as they looked at Ling Fan as if seeing a ghost. All their minds came to a halt, none could understand how he, in the blink of an eye, had come back to life.
"You... are Ling Fan?" Leng Xiuwen couldn't help standing up and asking.
Upon hearing this, Ling Fan glanced at him indifferently, flicked his finger, and a Wind Blade shot out, swiftly slaying him.
"Thud!"
A crimson streak crossed Leng Xiuwen's brow, his face filled with shock as he fell to the ground. He couldn't comprehend how this man could kill with a flick of his finger on first encounter.
The people in the hall were suddenly awakened by this scene, their faces showing horror.
"Xiuwen!" Leng Zhenyu immediately turned deathly pale and exclaimed.
"Anything else you want to say?" Ling Fan asked, devoid of any expression, looking toward Leng Liangce.
Leng Liangce shivered violently and said tremblingly, "This is all my doing, it has nothing to do with others. Just take my life; please spare the rest of the Leng family!"
"Heh, are you done talking?" Ling Fan asked coldly.
Leng Liangce looked earnestly at Ling Fan, hoping for him to show mercy and spare some bloodline of the Leng family.
"In the past two years, I've mellowed quite a bit, always leaving a sliver of hope for people like you!
But to not root out the problem is to court endless trouble. This is an unassailable truth through the ages. Some people, they really can't be spared!
Today, I can tell you clearly, everyone in the Leng family, without exception, will be put to death!" Ling Fan said, his tone as dark as the abyss.
He had already given them a chance and would not give them a second.
As his words fell, his figure suddenly moved, and boundless killing intent erupted.
"You..." Leng Liangce was shocked and stood up from his chair suddenly.
Leng Zhenyu fell to the ground, utterly terrified.
Leng Su and his wife shuddered, their faces bloodless, regret arising in their hearts!
