From the appearance of the black-robed man to the death of Ling Batian and his wife, all of this happened in just a few moments. After the black-robed man left for about fifteen minutes, Ling Jifan heard the news and rushed over with his men! However, everything was over. When Ling Jifan saw the three people lying in a pool of blood in the courtyard, his head instantly exploded from the scene in front of him.
What did he see? His brother's family died just like that? Ling Jifan didn't know how to express his feelings. His heart was filled with an indescribable feeling, and two streams of tears slowly flowed down his face.
"Heavens! Do you really treat my Ling Family like this? "Do you really want our Ling family to be unable to recover? It wasn't easy for our Ling family to produce such a genius, but you…" Ling Jifan's sorrowful emotions couldn't support his body. He knelt on the ground, facing the sky, and muttered to himself in a daze.
"Patriarch! The young master was still breathing. He was not dead yet.”Suddenly, a guard's agitated voice rang out.
Hearing this, the disheartened Ling Jifan hurriedly got up and rushed to Ling Aoran's side. He used his hand to probe his nose and indeed, he felt that there was still breathing. Ling Jifan's face lit up, and he quickly ordered the guards beside him,"Men, quick! Hurry up and hire the best pharmacist in town! Hurry up, hurry up!" As long as Ling Aoran was fine, there was still hope for the Ling Family. Ling Jifan's initially worried heart finally relaxed a little.
"Yes, sir! Patriarch." One of the guards quickly responded and turned around to leave.
Looking at Ling Batian and Li Xinlian's bodies, Ling Jifan sighed and carefully picked up Ling Aoran's small body. He muttered to himself and said firmly,""Second brother and sister-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Aoran for you, just like how I treat my own child. And the person who killed you, I will definitely find him and use his head to pay homage to you! You guys can go on your way in peace…"
"Men, send Second Master and his wife to a quiet place in the back of the mountain for a proper burial!”After instructing his subordinates, Ling Jifan hugged Ling Aoran and rushed to the nearest house.
Not long after, in the room, an old man who was over fifty years old took Ling Aoran's pulse seriously. He looked like a famous doctor.
However, as time passed, the old man's frown became tighter and tighter. In the end, he sighed regretfully and shook his head.
Ling Jifan saw the old man shake his head and asked,""Sir, how is he? Is he alright? No matter what price you have to pay, as long as you can cure him, I will agree to any request you have!”
In Ling Jifan's heart, Ling Aoran was the hope for the revival of the Ling Family. Nothing could happen to him. Otherwise, he would not be able to answer to the Supreme Elder and would become the biggest sinner in the history of the Ling Family!
" His life is fine, but…" The Pharmacist shook his head helplessly.
"But what?"
Ling Jifan heard that Ling Aoran's life wasn't in danger and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, his eight extraordinary meridians have been crippled. I'm afraid he won't be able to cultivate any secret techniques in the future. He's no different from that cripple. Moreover, I saw that his expression was miserable. He must have suffered a huge blow before he fainted. This has made his body even worse. Even if he recovers in the future, he can't do too much intense movements. Otherwise, his life will be in danger. In the future, this child's body can only barely walk like an ordinary person! Just who was so vicious? Sigh…Such a pitiful young age.”
Boom!
Hearing this, the Pharmacist's words were like a bolt from the blue into Ling Jifan's ears. He was a little stunned. What was going on? From great sorrow to great joy, and then from great joy to great sorrow, Ling Jifan couldn't accept this reality. What was this? Was the heavens joking with him? Although he was alive, he could not cultivate in the future! What did the Ling Family do to make the heavens play with him like this?
Ling Jifan's heart was in a state of desolation, and his eyes slowly lost their usual luster. Although he knew the result, he still asked,"Old sir, is there no other way? No matter the price, our Ling Family will definitely do it.”
One had to know that Ling Aoran was the only hope for the Ling Family to rise again. How could Ling Jifan be willing to let her die just like that?
"I'm sorry, Ling Family Head. I've already tried my best. Not to mention me, I believe that even in the entire Divine Continent, there are not many people who can cure it. Unless there was some heaven-defying sacred medicine or a high-level alchemist who could help him connect his meridians, it was impossible to cure this child.”
" Besides, those heaven-defying sacred medicines are legendary and can only be found by chance. Even if someone has them, they can't possibly take them out. It's even more impossible for those high-level alchemists. Almost every one of them has eyes above their heads. Without enough benefits, they won't take them out! Also, it's impossible to find high-level alchemists here.”
The pharmacist said helplessly. He looked at Ling Aoran and sighed. He turned to Ling Jifan and continued,"Alright, Clan Head Ling, please forgive this old man's incompetence and take my leave.”He cupped his fists and bowed, then turned around and left.
After listening to the old man's explanation, Ling Jifan no longer had the mood to pay attention to the pharmacist. The gaze he looked at Ling Aoran with was originally filled with love, but it gradually turned into disappointment and even disgust!
When the elders who had been watching from the side heard this outcome, they knew that the future of the Ling Family was hopeless. They immediately vented all the anger and resentment in their hearts on Ling Aoran. The gazes they looked at Ling Aoran turned into hatred.
"Move him to the house in the backyard.”Ling Jifan seemed to have aged by more than ten years. At this moment, he was mentally exhausted and spoke to the people outside the room. Ling Jifan's heart was already dead. He didn't care about Ling Aoran's life or death at all. He had completely forgotten about his promise to his second brother and sister-in-law that he would take good care of Ling Aoran. Right now, he was only disappointed, deeply disappointed in Ling Aoran.
"Yes, Patriarch." The guards outside the door responded and immediately moved.
In the Bai family's meeting hall…Bai Riley and Leader He were anxiously waiting for news from the black-robed man.
"Brother Bai, do you think that lord will be able to kill that little thing?”Leader He asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Brother He. That lord is a Heaven Realm expert. Killing a child at the peak of the Condensation Stage in the small Ling Clan is a piece of cake. We can rest assured and wait for the news from that lord.”Although Riley said that, he was also extremely uneasy.
Whoosh ~~
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed and appeared in front of the two of them. The two of them jumped at first. When they saw who it was, their faces immediately revealed respectful expressions. They could not help but be happy in their hearts. They thought that the matter was done!
Although he knew that nothing would go wrong, Bailey still bowed and asked,"" Thank you for your hard work, sir. I wonder if this matter…" Saying this, Bai Riley looked at that person nervously.
The black-robed man snorted coldly, and his old and hoarse voice sounded,""Are you doubting my abilities? Hmm?" Although his voice wasn't loud, the imposing aura made Bailey and Riley not even dare to breathe loudly. They quickly lowered their heads submissively.
Bailey saw that the black-robed man's tone was showing signs of displeasure, and he was so scared that he quickly explained," I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's just that…" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the black-robed man.
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore. I've already finished my business. I've already broken the child's eight extraordinary meridians, so he can't practice martial arts anymore. His mother and father were already dead. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, so it's time for me to leave. Remember, don't let me hear anything that I shouldn't hear outside. Otherwise…you should know the consequences! "Hmph…" Before Barry could say anything, he disappeared from the hall.
After the black-robed man left, Bai Riley and Leader He looked at each other excitedly and then laughed out loud.
On the third day, when Ling Aoran woke up from her sleep, she found herself lying in a dilapidated house. She sat up weakly. Recalling the scene of his parents falling beside him, Ling Aoran clenched his little fists in anger and smashed them fiercely on the bed he was lying on.
However, the bed did not shatter as he had imagined. It did not even shake at all. This phenomenon shocked Ling Aoran. His strength had actually disappeared!! After realizing that he had no strength at all, he immediately checked his body in a panic.
However, something terrifying happened. He discovered that all his meridians had been broken, and he was unable to gather the spiritual power in his body at all. He knew that he was finished. He would never be able to cultivate again. He felt as if the world had abandoned him. His mother was gone, his father was gone, and even the talent he relied on was gone! He felt that life was meaningless.
Under such desperate circumstances, Ling Aoran decided to end his life. He had nothing left to live for. The moment he bit his tongue, he stopped, not because he was afraid of death, but because he remembered what his mother had said before she died....
