37: Chapter 37 Ling Ziwen Makes a Move

Of course, the most shocked were the members of the Wang family.

The Wang family members had absolute confidence in their head's strength.

Especially at the moment Wang Yang erupted, they seemed to see the image of Pei Qingyun being split to death by a single sword strike.

But the result was the opposite.

Especially at the moment they saw their own family head being struck by Pei Qingyun's blade and directly spitting out blood, they only felt as if the sky had collapsed.

He was truly in as pathetic a state as one could be.

But no matter what, Wang Yang was still their family head.

Regaining their senses, the Wang family members looked toward Wang Yang with worried expressions.

Wang Yang was seen supporting himself with his sword, looking at Pei Qingyun with an unwilling expression, letting the blood drip from the corner of his mouth. "You are at the Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm; you've deceived everyone."

Facing Wang Yang's questioning, Pei Qingyun did not deny it, only replying indifferently.

"I never admitted to being at the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm; this is merely the result of your own wishful thinking."

"You..." Wang Yang was exasperated; this clearly wasn't the answer he wanted.

"Alright, I've already given you a chance to speak. Since you have nothing else to say, then everything should end."

Before Wang Yang could speak again, Pei Qingyun's right leg stomped down violently. The majestic power sent the dust around him flying, and then he soared up, shooting toward Wang Yang like a bird.

Knowing he was no match for Pei Qingyun, Wang Yang did not stubbornly try to save Face.

He violently threw out the longsword in his hand.

In an instant, the longsword shot toward Pei Qingyun like an arrow from a bow.

Faced with this flying sword, Pei Qingyun had to pause his pursuit and draw his blade to block.

On the other side, taking advantage of this opening, Wang Yang dashed away in a certain direction, completely disregarding the Wang family members still left there.

And while fleeing, he also shouted toward a certain direction, "Ling Ziwen, come out quickly!"

During the pursuit, Pei Qingyun naturally heard Wang Yang's words clearly.

Pei Qingyun didn't know much about this Ling Ziwen. He only knew that this former great commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau was a Martial Artist at Divine Power Perfection.

If not for Chen Yuanba's wanted notice, he wouldn't even have paid much attention.

For a Martial Artist at Divine Power Perfection to be able to influence the battle between Five-Viscera Martial Artists was clearly impossible.

However, knowing that he was at the Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm, Wang Yang still asked Ling Ziwen for help, which caused a hint of vigilance to rise in Pei Qingyun.

Perhaps Wang Yang was trying to bluff him, but there was a greater possibility it was true.

Then Ling Ziwen was also a Five-Viscera Martial Artist.

To be cautious, adopting the attitude that it's better to believe it than not, he still scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision to prevent a sneak attack from Ling Ziwen.

It was precisely this glance.

He noticed a tall man wearing black leather armor appearing directly in front of where Wang Yang was fleeing.

"Ling Ziwen." With just one glance, Pei Qingyun recognized the man as Ling Ziwen.

Not many people knew the truth behind why Ling Ziwen was wanted, but Pei Qingyun happened to be one of them.

Ling Ziwen was related to the fall of Yuyang Town.

Pei Qingyun had also wondered why Ling Ziwen, this great commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau, would do such a thing.

Ling Ziwen was clearly a Five-Viscera Martial Artist, yet he hid his cultivation and committed such acts that provoked heaven's wrath and people's resentment.

It seemed now that everything was premeditated.

It was even highly likely that the Wang family was colluding in it.

But no matter what, Pei Qingyun could not let Wang Yang leave like this.

Seeing Ling Ziwen appear, Wang Yang's Face showed joy.

But along with the pleasant surprise, his hatred for Pei Qingyun grew deeper.

"You're here. As long as you help me kill this old fogey Pei Qingyun together, I'll agree to your conditions."

"If you had agreed to my conditions earlier, I would have naturally fully cooperated in killing Pei Qingyun. But now, you want me to help you kill Pei Qingyun? That's impossible." Ling Ziwen stared coldly at Wang Yang, his eyes as if looking at a fool.

The situation was not in his favor.

Yet he still fantasized about exchanging using the original conditions.

If this isn't a fool, then what is?

Feeling the coldness in Ling Ziwen's gaze, Wang Yang finally realized his own situation.

But if Pei Qingyun wasn't eliminated, even if he escaped today's disaster, it would only be a temporary fix.

Once this Calamity of Demons operation ended, the Wang family would inevitably Face the full force of the Pei family's retaliation.

At that time, he had no confidence at all in whether the Wang family could still hold on.

Thinking of all this, Wang Yang understood that he had to bow his head at this time.

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall.

So what if he, Wang Yang, acted like such a man today?

"Brother Ziwen, I'm sorry about just now; I was momentarily overwhelmed. It's just that as long as this old fogey Pei Qingyun isn't eliminated, my Wang family will have no peace day or night." Speaking to this point, Wang Yang gritted his teeth in hatred.

"I said it's impossible. Change your condition. Time is running out. If you haven't decided before Pei Qingyun arrives, then I can only stand by and watch." Ling Ziwen remained unmoved.

"Brother Ziwen, how about this? You set the conditions. As long as you can help me get rid of this old fogey Pei Qingyun, I'll agree to anything." Wang Yang hardened his heart and said through gritted teeth.

"Is that so? You'll agree to any condition?" Ling Ziwen drawled, looking at Wang Yang meaningfully.

"Yes," Wang Yang responded without hesitation.

To kill Pei Qingyun, he had completely thrown caution to the wind.

"Very well. As long as your Wang family submits to me, I will help you kill him." Ling Ziwen's expression was solemn, and he spoke with total seriousness.

"Make my Wang family submit?" Wang Yang looked at Ling Ziwen, an expression of disbelief on his Face.

He had thought Ling Ziwen's appetite might be large.

Even if Ling Ziwen demanded half of the entire Wang family's resources, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But he never imagined Ling Ziwen's appetite would be this enormous.

To make his Wang family submit.

This was truly unacceptable to him.

Setting aside whether he could agree or not.

Even if he did agree, he might not be able to pull it off.

It was true that Wang Yang was the head of the Wang family, and all matters, large and small, were decided by him alone.

But this didn't mean he could make the Wang family submit to Ling Ziwen.

The reason the Wang family members followed his orders wasn't because of his title, but because of his strength.

But a bigger reason was that he represented the interests of everyone in the Wang family.

Submitting to Ling Ziwen, however, would violate the interests of all Wang family members.

It could be imagined that once he spoke of this matter, all the Wang family members would oppose him.

"Even if I could agree to this, my Wang clansmen would not. If Brother Ziwen is intent on helping me, then please change to another condition," Wang Yang refused.

"Aside from your Wang family's submission, everything else your Wang family possesses is, in my view, not worth me doing this. However, I also understand the difficulty of this matter. As long as you agree to have the Wang family submit to me, you can take your time convincing your clansmen."

"I also believe that you will certainly be able to do it." Speaking to this point, Ling Ziwen gave Wang Yang a look of trust.
