There was no use for the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation anymore. Ling Yun laughed and entered the maze formation. He moved a stone with the wind from his palm.

The white fog dissipated, leaving only the Spirit Gathering Formation. Ling Xiu was sitting in the center with her legs crossed and beautiful eyes slightly closed. She had entered a state of oblivion.

Ling Yun used his divine sense to discern Ling Xiu’s cultivation base and was taken aback. So fast!

Indeed, she was cultivating at an alarming rate. She was at the initial stage of Houtian Realm Level Nine at the start. She had already reached the mid-stage in no time and was now aiming for the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine!

All of the descendants of the Ling Family, regardless of gender, had great potential for cultivation. Of course, the one with the best potential was still Ling Yun.

“Be careful, don’t disturb my big sister’s cultivation!” Ling Yun said in a hushed tone to the six men of sacrifice.

Ling Yun then did a somersault and crossed seventy meters, landing lightly beside Cui Lao.

“Cui Lao, you’re done?” Ling Yun asked as he stared at the pile of corpses and broken limbs of the Japanese ninjas.

“Yes, Fourth Young Master…” Cui Lao changed the way he addressed Ling Yun and habitually ranked him as the fourth.

Ling Yun frowned and stole a sidelong glance at the seventh courtyard. “Cui Lao, please spare me and call me Fifth Young Master instead…”

Cui Lao was simply too happy. “It doesn’t matter. Fifth Young Master it is then. I’m really elated!”

Ling Yun smiled, and a small pill bottle appeared in his left hand. It was filled with a white-yellow powder.

Ling Yun opened the cap of the bottle and sprinkled some of it into the chest wound of a corpse.

It reacted violently once it came into contact with blood.

“Cha… cha… cha…”

The wound on the corpse instantly became larger. The blood, muscles, and bones — everything was dissolved into a pool of bubbling yellow water. It even corroded the surrounding area.

That corpse broke into two sections and continued dissolving. The yellowish water seeped into the corpses below, which caused them to dissolve as well. The speed of dissolving became faster as the yellowish water increased in volume…

No wonder Miao Xiaomiao was worried… Ling Yun thought to himself. The Miaojiang’s Art of Poison was indeed scary. He just didn’t know whether this powder had any effect on a living person.

Miao Xiaomiao would take back the Corpse Powder if she knew that Ling Yun was harboring such dangerous experimental thoughts.

“Cha.. cha…” After two minutes, fourteen Japanese ninja corpses had become yellow water!

There was a curious thing about this yellowish water. There was no rancid smell. In fact, there was no smell at all.

“Fifth Young Master, is this… Corpse Powder?” Cui Lao asked.

Ling Yun nodded without any expression. “Yes, it is. Miao Xiaomiao gave it to me…”

Ling Yun suddenly missed the beauties he left behind in Qingshui City when he mentioned Miao Xiaomiao…

Ling Yun picked up his phone and called Miao Xiaomiao directly.

The call went through after two rings. “Hello, Little Miss Poison User, your Corpse Powder is of great use…” That was Ling Yun’s opening statement.

First, there was silence.

Then, Miao Xiaomiao’s voice came through. “You’ve only been in Beijing for a few days, and you’ve killed again? You probably killed a lot again, didn’t you?”

Ling Yun snickered. “Japanese ninjas, twenty of them, but it will increase to twenty-two immediately!”

Ling Yun counted the six that he killed in the Chen Family’s villa in the southern suburbs.

He originally thought that Miao Xiaomiao would scold him after he was done, but her tone became gentle instead. “You… be careful facing so many enemies…”

Ling Yun was stunned. Did he hear wrongly? This wasn’t Ning Er, it was definitely Miao Xiaomiao…

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Hey, Ling Yun, don’t forget what you promised me. I’ll give you another month at most!”

Miao Xiaomiao reminded Ling Yun over the phone.

Ling Yun knew that Miao Xiaomiao was referring to arranging for Miao Fenghuang and Miracle Doctor Xue to patch things up and enjoy their old age together.

Ling Yun saw Miracle Doctor Xue before his exams. He used the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot in front of Miao Xiaomiao and suppressed the Heart-Devouring Gu Insect for another three months. However, he mainly got it under control instead of suppressing it under Miao Xiaomiao’s request.

Ling Yun could have forced the Heart-Devouring Gu Insect out of Miracle Doctor Xue’s body and killed it. It was easy to control it with spiritual energy.

Miao Xiaomiao reminded him then to head to Miaojiang as soon as possible after his exams so that the two could reconcile.

They were her grandpa and grandma after all. Miao Xiaomiao was naturally uncomfortable with leaving things as they were. Every day took a toll on her.

Ling Yun agreed as well. However, there were priorities. Miracle Doctor Xue’s matter could be resolved anytime, while Cao Shanshan was in grave danger. The Ling Family was in trouble as well, which was why Ling Yun had to come to Beijing first.

“Don’t worry. I won’t forget it!”

Ling Yun returned to his family and was feeling the love and care his grandpa had for him. He finally had a taste of kinship. That allowed him to understand Miao Xiaomiao’s urgency even more deeply now.

Moreover, Miao Xiaomiao told him that there was a lot of spiritual grass and that the spiritual energy was plentiful. Why would Ling Yun not want to visit such a place if he could?

“Big Brother Yun, why did you call Big Sister but not me!”

The person on the other side of the phone had changed. That voice was definitely Xue Meining’s.

“Uh… I’m discussing a matter of importance with your big sister…” Ling Yun could only try to get away with it.

“Tsk, what matter of importance. You killed someone again and used Big Sister’s Corpse Powder…” she said accusingly. “I’m coming to Beijing!” she ended stubbornly.

Ling Yun sweated profusely. “No!” he replied with a steel heart. Ling Yun was really busy with Cao Shanshan’s matter. He couldn’t do anything if Ning Er were to come.

“Why not? My parents are currently in Beijing. I want to go!” she replied overbearingly. Ling Yun left Qingshui quite some time ago, and he left in such a hurry that she didn’t manage to send him off. She almost went crazy thinking about Ling Yun.

“Ning Er, be obedient. What you need to do now is concentrate on the Spirit Potency Art and the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot that I imparted to you. Doctors have a compassionate heart that heals the wounded and helps the weak. For the people and for the country…”

Ling Yun was utterly shameless.

Giggles were heard from the other side of the phone. Xue Meining could feel Ling Yun having a hard time trying to blow smoke at her, so she didn’t insist on it anymore. She changed her tone to a gentle one instead. “Big Brother Yun, you have to be careful. When you aren’t busy, I want to…”

“Want to?” Ling Yun asked with alarm.

“Idiot, I want to have a video call with you!” Xue Meining said, blushing.

“No problem!” Ling Yun promised and ended the call quickly. He then threw his phone back into his spatial ring.

“I knew it would be like that…” Ling Yun wiped his cold sweat away. He didn’t know where the two beauties were. He didn’t even need to dream about hanging up the call if there was anyone else with them.

After the call, Ling Yun realized that Ling Yong, Ling Li, and Ling Feng were surrounding him with strange looks in their eyes.

“Fifth Brother, who were you calling?” Ling Li asked deliberately with a laugh.

“One of your sisters-in-law…” Ling Yun smiled and replied without hiding anything.

“Oh… so it was sister-in-law… Wait, why do I feel that there was something strange with that sentence?” Ling Li said in jest at first, then he realized that something was wrong.

There should only be one sister-in-law, so why did his fifth brother say that? Could there be other sisters-in-law?

Ling Yun didn’t bother replying to that. He quickly arranged for Cui Lao to wash all the yellowish water into the drains and then went to the sixth courtyard.

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li followed tightly on the heels of Ling Yun.

“How many did you three kill in total?” Ling Yun asked as they walked.

“Erm… one… or two?” Ling Yong replied, thinking hard.

“Too little! Follow me, I’ll teach you how to kill!” Ling Yun said with his spirits in the air.

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li exchanged glances, thinking that he was really wild. He hadn’t even started teaching them martial arts but was going to teach them how to kill first.

“R-really kill?” Ling Li was doe-eyed. When the situation was dire, all three of them were filled with killing intent, so they didn’t mind the bodies on the ground. However, the situation was reversed after Ling Yun arrived. The three of them saw corpses littered throughout the Ling Family’s courtyard. It was as though hell came to earth. Headless bodies and blood flowed like water. All three vomited bile without exception.

This was the first time they had killed a person.

“Yes! A blood debt has to be repaid with blood! You have to kill more in the future. Practice first!”

Ling Yun didn’t give the three brothers any chance to hesitate. He had already come to the twenty ninjas with broken legs.

The remaining 36 men of sacrifice were done with their tasks by then. They flocked to Ling Yun’s side when they heard he was going to kill.

Only one-third of the men of sacrifice survived. This blood debt had to be repaid!

Killing enemies with their own hands!

A blood debt naturally had to be repaid with blood!
