8: Storm is coming

Two days later.

At this moment, Ling Feng was in his study, checking on the Ling Family's recent situation.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came.

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately opened the study door and walked out with large strides.

Looking from afar, one could see a subtle change in the direction of the Ling Family's back mountain Forbidden Ground.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi was rapidly converging towards the Forbidden Ground.

"Hm?"

"The place where Second Uncle and Clan Elder Ling Bing are in seclusion, they're breaking through to the Profound Martial Realm!"

Thinking of this, Ling Feng immediately circulated the Spiritual Qi within his body and rushed to the entrance of the back mountain Forbidden Ground at the fastest speed.

At this moment, Ling Feng could clearly feel that the speed of Spiritual Qi gathering in the surrounding air had slowed down. It seemed that the Breakthrough was successful, but he didn't know if it was Ling Buyi or Clan Elder Ling Bing who had broken through.

As for why he didn't guess they broke through together, it was because the amount of Spiritual Qi gathered this time was simply not enough for two people to use for a Breakthrough.

Half an hour later.

Ling Buyi, with a rosy complexion and an excited expression, slowly walked out from a secret chamber next to the Forbidden Ground.

"Congratulations, Second Uncle, for successfully stepping into the Profound Martial Realm and becoming the second Profound Martial Realm expert of our Ling Family."

Through the System's investigation, Ling Feng had a clear understanding of Ling Buyi's background.

"Clan Chief, for me, Ling Buyi, to successfully Breakthroug h to the Profound Martial Realm, it's all thanks to this Realm Breaking Pill you gave me. I never expected this Realm Breaking Pill to be so effective. If it weren't for your Medicinal Pill, I don't know when I would have been able to Breakthroug h to the Profound Martial Realm."

"Fenger, your Second Uncle isn't very good with words. The grace of bestowing this Medicinal Pill, your Second Uncle will never forget. If anyone tries to harm him in the future, they'll have to step over me first."

Ling Buyi looked at his nephew, who had just taken over the position of Clan Chief, his face filled with unconcealable gratitude. At the same time, Ling Buyi secretly swore in his heart that he would protect Ling Feng well.

Ling Buyi knew his own Aptitude. If he were to rely on his own Aptitude and slowly accumulate to Breakthroug h, although he might eventually Breakthroug h, it would take an unknown amount of time.

As a Martial Artist, time is extremely precious.

Hearing Ling Buyi's words, Ling Feng looked at Ling Buyi but didn't say anything. He was extremely familiar with his Second Uncle; the other party was absolutely sincere towards him, and he was also loyal to the Ling Family, diligently carrying out his duties.

Ling Feng then took a step forward and looked towards the secret chamber next to the Forbidden Ground.

Unfortunately, Clan Elder Ling Bing's secret chamber was incredibly quiet, with no movement whatsoever.

Seeing this, Ling Buyi immediately reined in his excitement and then spoke to Ling Feng.

"Clan Chief, Clan Elder Ling Bing, due to his age, has a slight deficiency in Qi and blood, so the Breakthrough might take a bit longer. With the efficacy of the Realm Breaking Pill, Clan Elder Ling Bing's Breakthrough to the Profound Martial Realm is absolutely a certainty."

"Mhm, mhm."

...Just then, the Ling Family's Family guard team and Ling Ying all personally arrived, gathering beside this usually desolate Family Forbidden Ground.

Although many Yellow Martial Realm Martial Artists of the Ling Family had sensed the commotion just now, when everyone arrived and truly felt the powerful Profound Martial Realm aura emanating from Ling Buyi.

Everyone present was extremely excited.

Suddenly.

A System prompt sounded in Ling Feng's mind.

"Congratulations, Host, a new Profound Martial Realm Martial Artist has been added to the Family, rewarding one thousand Family Luck."

After hearing the message from the System, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile. Now he could draw a lottery again.

Seeing everyone congratulating Ling Buyi, Ling Feng quietly withdrew from the crowd and walked towards his small courtyard.

Ling Feng was already impatient to use his Luck points for a lottery draw... Meanwhile.

Qingyun Town.

Feng Family Family residence.

In an extremely luxurious hall, many people were gathered at this time.

At a glance, all the people present were high-ranking officials from various departments of the Feng Family, responsible for various affairs of the Feng Family.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials present were looking at the middle-aged man on the main seat in front of the hall, their faces full of respect.

From this, it was evident that the identity of the middle-aged man on the main seat was clear.

That's right, this person was the current Clan Chief of the Feng Family, Feng Changxin, with a Cultivation of the Early Stage Profound Martial Realm.

"Clan Chief, the news that Young Miss wants to annul the engagement has been out for several days."

"However, the Ling Family is still as usual, with no unusual movements."

A middle-aged man in a green robe in the front row spoke.

"I think this Ling Family is just trying to cover up. The severity of Ling Wuji's injuries this time, many people in this vast Qingyun Town saw it. It's quite possible he has already perished."

"Even if his life was saved, he's probably worse than an ordinary person now."

At this moment, another burly middle-aged man said loudly.

"Ling Family..."

After a moment, Feng Changxin, sitting on the main seat, raised his hand to quiet everyone, then slowly stood up and said in a deep voice to everyone in the hall.

"The Ling Family has always been very united, and Ling Wuji, the Clan Chief of the Ling Family, values the Ling Family's dignity very much. He would absolutely not allow such a thing that humiliates the Ling Family's dignity to happen."

"From the information currently gathered, it's impossible for Ling Wuji to pass on the position of Clan Chief to his useless son without reason. Therefore, combining various pieces of information, it is very likely that Ling Wuji has already fallen."

"However, to prevent any unforeseen changes, we will wait three more days."

"After three days, if the Ling Family still has no movement, then we will proceed according to the plan."

"Yes, Clan Chief."

In the hall, a group of high-ranking officials from the Feng Family respectfully clasped their fists and bowed to Feng Changxin, responding loudly in unison.

"Yan'er, what have you been doing these past few days?"

Feng Changxin then asked the guard commander next to him.

"Reporting to the Clan Chief, ever since Young Miss returned from the Xuanji Sect, she has been in seclusion Cultivating from time to time. However, that Young Master Wang, who returned from the Xuanji Sect with Young Miss, circles around Young Miss every day, seemingly having quite some affection for Young Miss."

The guard commander saw this, then stepped forward and respectfully said to Feng Changxin.

After hearing this, Feng Changxin pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"This Young Master Wang is a Personal Disciple of an Elder from the Mystic Limit Sect and holds a quite high position within the Xuanji Sect."

"If he truly has affection for Yu Yan, and they can successfully get married, that would be a great thing for our Feng Family."

"In the future, even a little help from him could make our Feng Family reach a higher level."

"But we shouldn't interfere too deliberately with this matter; let them develop on their own."

"If Young Master Wang's side thinks we only know how to curry favor with the powerful, it would be a bit counterproductive."

"Yes, Clan Chief."

In the hall, everyone, after hearing Feng Changxin's analysis, nodded in agreement.

The Clan Chief's thoughts are truly comprehensive...
