Chapter 780: Ling Haoyang

Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Ling Haoyang

A powerful figure from the Ling Family arrived. His name was Ling Haoyang.

This man was from the middle-aged generation of the Ling Family, the same generation as Ling Zhongtian’s father, Ling Changhe.

However, within the Ling Family, Ling Haoyang held the highest position among his peers. Despite being younger than the family elders, when it came to strength and attainments in Alchemy Tao, few among the older generation of the Ling Family could rival him.

Now, Ling Haoyang held a high position in the Pill Alliance as well. Although he did not control any of the thirty-two halls, his status was no less than that of a Hall Master.

Ling Haoyang came to the North Town Hall with a strong presence, not for any other reason, but because of a recent incident.

Inside the main hall, everyone once again gathered. Ling Haoyang stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was middle-aged, he looked just over thirty, with sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, exuding a superior demeanor.

...

Even the master of North Town Hall felt somewhat uneasy facing Ling Haoyang. The aura he emitted was too strong, akin to an unsheathed sword, emitting a sharp and unrestrained blade energy.

“Are you Fang Lin?” Ling Haoyang looked at Fang Lin, pretending to question him although he already knew who Fang Lin was.

Fang Lin nodded and saluted, “I am, indeed.”

Ling Haoyang grunted, and with a sudden wave of his sleeve, an invisible wave of energy burst forth. Everyone was caught off guard by his unexpected attack, which came without any warning.

With a thud, Fang Lin was hit and staggered backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face showing dark and angry expression.

“Ling Haoyang, don’t overstep! This is my North Town Hall, not the Ling Family home. You will not run rampant here!” The master of North Town Hall warned sternly.

Ling Haoyang just smiled slightly, still looking at Fang Lin, “Your physical strength isn’t bad, which explains how you caused such a commotion in Xuan City. Yet, I wonder how Xuan Emperor and Zhou Yishui died. With your abilities, it wouldn’t be possible for you to survive against the Xuan Emperor.”

Fang Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, “Want to know?”

Ling Haoyang shook his head, “I don’t want to know. Regardless of who helped you or what secrets you have, I simply don’t care, since you made the fatal mistake of offending my Ling Family.”

The very words he spoke were domineering, showcasing his powerful presence. He did not care about how others might perceive him. At Ling Haoyang’s level, even if others had opinions about him, he wouldn’t take them to heart.

“How great of the Ling Family, can’t distinguish between right and wrong?” Elder Miao could no longer stand aside and interjected.

Ling Haoyang gave Elder Miao a cold glance, “In front of me, what I think is right, is right. What I think is wrong, is wrong. Regardless of what someone from the Ling Family has done, they are still part of my family. If they are harmed by outsiders, we will naturally seek retribution.”

His words caused a ripple of shock to flow through the crowd, while Ling Changhe and the other Ling Family Elders turned eagerly excited.

This was Ling Haoyang, the powerhouse who came from the Ling Family, representing the glory of the clan and epitomizing the grandeur that could only be possessed by those from the Alchemy Tao aristocracy.

The master of North Town Hall wore a stern expression as he glared at Ling Haoyang, “Did you come to my North Town Hall to cause trouble today?”

Ling Haoyang shook his head, “I’m not here to cause trouble. This child has injured members of my Ling Family and insulted us. I’m here today to take his life and salvage the prestige of the Ling Family.”

“How audacious! In my North Town Hall, you can’t harm anyone!” North Town Hall’s master was furiously shouting, his jet-black hair flying about, and an invisible air of astounding aura pervaded the hall.

Ling Haoyang took a step forward, effortlessly blocking the aura released by the North Town Hall’s master, appearing extremely calm, but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect that the master of North Town Hall had such strength, worthy of being the granddaughter of Elder Tiankui.” Ling Haoyang laughed, refraining from retaliating.

The North Town Hall’s master’s black skirt swayed slightly, and there was a flash of anger in her eyes.

“Ling Haoyang, if you dare act presumptuously again, I will suppress you,” warned the master of North Town Hall, ready to sever all pretenses of civility with him.

Ling Haoyang chuckled and nodded. Although he was arrogant, he was a man who knew his limits. He could overstep a bit, but if he crossed the bottom line, the North Town Hall’s master wouldn’t treat him so politely.

The Ling Family had great power, but no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t match the authority of an Elder in the Pill Alliance. After all, behind the North Town Hall’s master, an Elder remained as her staunch protector and Ling Haoyang did not dare to offend the North Town Hall’s master too much.

“Fang Lin, commit suicide then I might leave your body intact,” Ling Haoyang said, addressing Fang Lin straightforwardly, ordering him to commit suicide without any further chat.

Fang Lin was furious. Ling Haoyang was too domineering, trying to oppress him with his superior power. Even when Fang Lin was in the right, Ling Haoyang had completely ignored reasoning, intending only to end Fang Lin’s life.

“Will your Ling Family cease to exist, then?” Fang Lin sneered sarcastically, his eyes brimming with a murderous glare.

Upon hearing this, Ling Haoyang was instantly enraged, “How dare a mere ant threaten my Ling Family?”

Fang Lin burst into laughter, “The Xuan Emperor died because of me, and now the Xuan Kingdom is unstable. Does the Ling Family wish to follow in the Xuan Kingdom’s footsteps?”

These words from Fang Lin changed the complexion of Ling Haoyang and shocked the crowd.

It was rumored outside that Fang Lin could survive under the hand of the Xuan Emperor and even caused the death of numerous royal powerhouses; there must be a peerless powerhouse aiding him.

Possibly there was indeed an unparalleled powerhouse casting a protective shadow over Fang Lin. Although it was merely a suspicion, it was not entirely impossible.

Ling Haoyang also thought of this rumor. He didn’t believe it, but seeing Fang Lin completely unafraid and even threatening him, a measure of doubt rose in his mind.

“Could it be that this boy really has something to rely on? Or is he pretending to confuse me?” Ling Haoyang couldn’t help but speculate.

“Ling Haoyang, Fang Lin is my registered disciple. If you want to kill him, you will have to defeat me first,” said the master of North Town Hall, her voice icy cold.

“Since you, North Town Hall’s master, are so protective of him, then I will spare his life today,” said Ling Haoyang.

Just as everyone thought he would let Fang Lin go out of respect for the North Town Hall’s master, Ling Haoyang made another move, his fierce palm attack sweeping towards Fang Lin.

“How dare you!” The North Town Hall’s master immediately stepped in front of Fang Lin, waved her sleeve, and nullified Ling Haoyang’s attack.

“Heh heh, today you have the protection of the master of North Town Hall. I won’t kill you, but inside this Pill Alliance, you will not be able to move an inch. My Ling Family’s methods, you have no clue.” Ling Haoyang said.

Fang Lin’s face turned somber, retorting, “The Ling Family can’t stop me.”

“Oh? You seem quite confident. But unfortunately, those who are confident often die earlier.” Ling Haoyang chuckled, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
