Time flies, the years go by, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
In this year, two major events happened in Qingcheng.
The first thing is that in the last secret realm, the ten elite disciples of the Fang family, including Fang Han, who was the first day of the seventh layer of qi refining, actually all died, and none of them walked out of the secret realm, but the murderer didn't know who it was.
But the patriarch of the Fang family knew very well that in Qingcheng, which was an acre of three-thirds of land, except for the Ling family, no one dared to slaughter the children of the Fang family.
However, everyone in the Ling family refused to admit it, and he did not have any evidence, plus he was not ready for an all-out war with the Ling family, so although he was extremely angry and hateful, he could only endure it for the time being, and after saying a few cruel words to Ling Tianqing, he retreated back to the Fang family in a state of reincarnation, as if a bigger storm was brewing.
And the second major event was that the genius of the Ling family who had shaken the entire Qingcheng also died in the secret realm.
Yes, everyone thought that Ling Xian was dead, and the Ling family also acquiesced in this matter, although it was extremely sad, but the facts were in front of them, and they had to accept this result painfully.
Any living creature from the outside world can only stay in the yellow-level secret realm for a month, this is a recognized fact in the entire immortal cultivation world, once it still does not come out after the time limit, then it will be killed by the rules of the secret realm.
And Ling Xian didn't show up for a year, in the eyes of everyone in the Ling family, except for dying inside, there could be no second result.
In addition, Ling Tianxiang and the others had already informed Ling Tianqing of everything that happened in the secret realm, including the fact that Ling Xian was hunted down by the demon beasts of the entire secret realm.
In this way, the entire Ling family believed that Ling Xian was dead.
That's tens of thousands of demon beasts, and there are even four eight-rank demons, how can Ling Xian, a little cultivator in the Qi refining period, escape No one believed that he could escape the pursuit of tens of thousands of demon beasts, let alone that he could withstand the powerful power of the rules of the secret realm.
Only Ling Tianxiang was the exception, maybe because she didn't want to accept this fact, maybe because Ling Xian had left an invincible mark in her heart, in short, she would go to the thousands of mountains and dense forests every day, rain or shine, never stopping, waiting hard for the day when the figure that haunted her could appear in front of her.
It's a pity that she waited for a year, and she didn't wait for Ling Xian.
At this moment, Ling Tianxiang's eyes were slightly moist, and he returned to Ling Mansion from the Thousand Mountains and Dense Forest, turning back one step at a time, turning around in three steps, looking at the place where the secret realm was opened, and two lines of tears were drooping.
"Alas, Ling Xian, you promised me that I would definitely let me see the moment when you were radiant, but now that your promise has not been fulfilled, you must not die."
Ling Tianxiang let out a long sigh, then stopped turning around and strode towards the Ling Mansion.
In the conference hall of the Ling family, the three Ling Tianqing brothers were making chairs, and everyone's faces were gloomy, as if they had encountered something troublesome.
Not long after, Ling Tianxiang's figure walked into the conference hall, and then sat down without saying a word, tears still stained on her pretty face.
"Little sister, I'm going to the Thousand Mountains and Dense Forest again" Ling Tianqing looked at Ling Tianxiang with a pale face, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said: "Alas, you said that it has been a year since you were doing this, plus there is also the pursuit of the entire secret realm demon beasts, even if Ling Xian is extremely talented, it is impossible to withstand this double crisis." ” "I know, but I don't want to believe he's dead."
Ling Xian's beautiful eyes darkened, in fact, she knew better than anyone that Ling Xian's chances of survival were very slim, but she just didn't want to accept the result that made her heart ache.
"You" Ling Tianqing shook his head helplessly, and comforted: "It's better to forget him, don't say that he is dead, even if he is not dead, you can't be with him." ” "Big brother, don't persuade me, I know all this very well."
Ling Tianxiang shook his head slowly, not wanting to continue the topic, and said, "Let's talk about something serious, I heard that the Fang family has already taken action."
Speaking of this, Ling Tianqing's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I called you here today to discuss this matter, according to the report I planted in the Fang family's eyeliner, a day ago, Fang Yunsheng, the old bastard, met with the Qi family head in the secret realm, and it seems that some kind of consensus has been reached, although the content of the conversation is unknown, but it is not difficult to guess, there is only one thing that can make the two families join forces." ” "Launch an attack and annex our Ling family."
Ling Tianjiao is cunning like a fox by nature, known as the Ling family's number one think tank, as soon as he speaks, he will say it.
"Not bad."
Ling Tianqing nodded slightly, and said, "Among the three major families, my Ling family's overall strength is the strongest, the Fang family is second, and the Qi family is the weakest, but once the two major families join forces and launch an attack, then my Ling family has no chance of winning, so I called you here today to brainstorm and discuss countermeasures." ” Hearing this, the other three frowned, thinking about how to deal with it.
Ling Tianjiao pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, we can't sit still, although it is possible for the Fang and Qi families to reach a consensus, but we still need to fight for the Qi family, or divide the relationship between the two of them, and we must not let the two of them unite smoothly." ” "That's what I've thought of too."
Ling Tianqing's expression was serious, and he asked the most critical question: "But if you can't destroy the alliance between the two families, how should you deal with it?"
"Then fight for the Ye City Lord, although the Great Qin Dynasty expressly forbids it, and no city lord is allowed to meddle in the grievances and disputes of the local family, but as long as our sincerity is enough, let him come forward to deter him, there must be no problem."
Ling Tianjiao came up with another way to deal with it.
"But this is only a temporary strategy, and besides, City Lord Ye is relatively elusive, and it is not easy to win him over."
Ling Tianqing smiled bitterly, looked at Ling Tianxiang, and asked, "Little sister, do you have any good ideas?"
Ling Tianxiang shook his head slowly and said, "If it really doesn't work, there is only one way to fight to the end and fight for that chance of survival." ” "I can't fight, if the two of them join forces, then the difference in strength is too big, even if my Ling family is exhausted, it will not be an opponent."
Ling Tianqing frowned, looked at Ling Tianao again, and said, "Third brother, what about you, what are your good ideas?"
"The second brother and the younger sister don't have any, what can I do" Ling Tianao is romantic, pampered, a typical gentleman, often mingling in Qinglou gambling houses and other places, and is the most unpromising of the four brothers and sisters.
Therefore, he was only a nominal third elder, and he didn't actually care about any family affairs.
"I knew you wouldn't have any good ideas."
Ling Tianqing didn't count on him at all, he just asked casually, but seeing Ling Tianao's hanging, he didn't get angry, and said angrily: "At this time when the family is in danger, you still have this cynical attitude, you don't look worried at all, do you want my Ling family to perish?"
Seeing that his beloved eldest brother was angry, Ling Tianao's neck shrank, and he said with a wry smile: "Big brother, what are you talking about, don't you know what my temperament is, although I am not a good person, I have no great potential, but my love for the Ling family is no less than yours, how can I hope that my Ling family will perish?"
"Hmph" Ling Tianqing snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to this unsuccessful younger brother, and looked at Ling Tianjiao, and said, "Second brother, is there really no good way?"
"This" Ling Tianjiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the auction he had heard about, he couldn't help but blurt out: "By the way, big brother, I remember that auction a year ago, there was a mysterious strong man in the Dan Period, who specially let you enter his box, you can try to find him, if this senior is willing to make a move, then this crisis will become an opportunity, just take advantage of the situation to counterattack and swallow the Fang Qi family." ” "I want to too, but that senior and I have been in the same life, that auction was the first time we met, and I don't know why, he called me and Master Fang by name and let the two of us enter his box."
Ling Tianqing showed a wry smile, when he talked about that strange thing, he was still confused, because he was very sure that he had never met that senior at all, could it be that his personality charm was too strong, and the strong people in the Dan stage favored him "I see."
Ling Tianjiao sighed lightly, thought about it, and said without giving up: "Whether you know it or not, big brother, you can bring a generous gift and beg that senior to make a move, after all, this is our last chance, if not, then there is only one way to fight to the death." ” "That senior Shenlong can't see the end, I don't know where he lives at all, and I haven't even heard from him for a year, and it's not necessarily whether people are still in Qingcheng."
Ling Tianqing sighed and said, "Presumably, the Fang family had the idea of attacking my Ling family because they hadn't seen that senior's whereabouts for a year. ” Hearing this, Ling Tianjiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, shook his head, and did not speak.

The atmosphere fell silent.
The three of them knew the seriousness of the problem, but they couldn't come up with a good way to help the Ling family through this crisis.
"No matter what, we must not sit idly by and follow the second child's method first."
Ling Tianqing slowly stood up, looked at Ling Tianjiao, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, the matter of meeting with the Qi Patriarch is very important, I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others, only you can take on this important responsibility, I believe that with your three-inch tongue, even if you can't convince the Qi Patriarch, you can also separate the relationship between him and the Fang family, and when the time comes, if the Qi family is on guard against the other party, then the opportunity for my Ling family will come." ” "Rest assured, Patriarch, I will not let you down."
Ling Tianjiao nodded heavily, his words were sonorous, and even the title of Ling Tianqing became the patriarch, which showed that he understood the importance of this matter, and he could also feel his determination.
Ling Tianqing patted him on the shoulder, looked at Ling Tianjiao, and said, "Little sister, I know that you have some friendship with the city lord's daughter, so I will leave this matter to you, remember not to be pressured, it is good to be able to say that the Ye City Lord is moving, if you can't say that you can't move, then it's no wonder you, don't blame yourself, you know?"
"Patriarch, rest assured, I will do my best."
Ling Tianxiang's face was serious.
"Third child, I'll leave the last thing to you."
In the end, Ling Tianqing moved his gaze to Ling Tianjiao, and said seriously: "You are pompous by nature and have no scheming, so I will hand over this easiest thing to you, use those fox friends of yours to find out the news of that senior, if you can't find it, then it's nothing, but if you find it, then you are the great hero of the Ling family, this is a matter of life and death for my Ling family, so I hope you will restrain your temperament and do your best, can you do it?"
"Patriarch, please rest assured, I will do my best to activate all the networks, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will shine him out" Ling Tianao's eyes were firm, and his words were loud.
"Very well, then you can do it quickly."
Ling Tianqing nodded, and after the three of them walked away, he looked at the blue sky outside the window, and sighed faintly: "The hexagram that the mysterious old man calculated for me ten years ago has come true, the Ling family is about to face an unprecedented crisis, but it is not a dead end, the hexagram says that at the moment of crisis, there will be a genius boy who will turn the tide and save my Ling family up and down, but the Ling family is dead, so who should this hexagram be?"
Ling Tianqing's eyes were complicated, and a trace of weakness and sadness suddenly rose in his heart.
The wind and rain are coming, the hexagram is fulfilled, where is the savior :
