Chapter 699: Twilight



Chapter 699: Twilight

Although the toughness and ductility of gold were excellent, 50 kilograms of gold molten into a longbow of one and a half meters was way too heavy for most people to hold, let alone shoot.

However, now that Ling Yun had 6000 kilograms of arm strength, the bow was as light as a feather.

Reducing the ratio 100 times, the scenario was equivalent to an ordinary person with 60 kilograms of arm strength holding half a kilogram of weight.

Ling Yun had no qualms making a longbow with so much gold. He smiled, grabbed the bow with his right hand, pinched the bowstring with his left thumb and forefinger, and pulled it gently. Forming a perfect arc with the bowstring, Ling Yun pretended to take aim and released. In an instant, the bowstring formed a perfect vertical line as a piercing sound struck.

When the time came, Ling Yun could just pull out bundles of arrows from his spatial ring and slot them conveniently on the bowstring. With such a swift release, anyone in the way would meet certain death.

“2000 kilograms of tension...” Ling Yun sighed, feeling that the tension was still too little. He raised his bow and threw it to Cui Lao...

“Do you want to try pulling it?” Ling Yun smiled.

Cui Lao gave a bitter smile and gave his best effort. Despite his strenuous efforts, the bow only bent a few degrees.

“Young Master, there is too much tension. Besides, the bowstring is way too thin to properly grasp...” Cui Lao lamented breathily as his face turned a crimson red.

It was difficult to grasp indeed. At Xiantian Realm Level Two, even if he had the protection of Xiantian True Qi and the Herculean strength to pull it back, the thinness of the bowstring would have sliced his fingers into pieces.

Only under the protection of the Stellar Condensation Technique did Ling Yun dare to be so playful. No one else would dare pull the bowstring to its maximum curvature.

Ling Seventeen was stupefied, especially over the sudden appearance of the Golden Black Devilish Silkworm String and the two gold bricks!

Simply inconceivable!

Ling Yun put away the golden bow, smiled and patted the shoulder of Ling Seventeen, and said calmly, “Besides my grandfather, no one, and I mean no one, should know about today. Do you get it?”

“Yes! Little Master, Ling Seventeen understands!” Ling Seventeen nodded profusely.

“I still need a lot of arrows, with all of them being over 1.5 meters and made of pure silver. As for the arrow shafts, they can be made from an ordinary alloy with a silver coating. They need to be produced as soon as possible, as I will need them after 24 hours!”

Seeing that the weapons workshop produced weapons on command, Ling Yun could relay the instructions without further worries. The weapons workshop could shave a lot of time off the production.

Despite being deeply stunned by Ling Yun’s performance, Ling Seventeen still looked at Cui Lao and deferred to him.

Cui Lao smiled, took out a wooden token of authority, and showed it to Ling Seventeen. “Old Master has already stated that Ling Yun’s orders would be his orders. Just follow his instructions!”

“Yes! Ling Seventeen will obey the orders of the master with great respect!” Ling Seventeen responded decisively, clenching his fists together out of respect and bowing deeply!

Before leaving, Ling Yun stored some ordinary arrows into his spatial ring, using them as a temporary backup before the silver arrows were produced.

Then, Ling Yun carefully inspected the old wounds of Ling Seventeen. He took out nine golden needles and used the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot on him, completely curing the old wounds and ailments of Ling Seventeen and treating his scars with Clear Water Talismans.

Ling Seventeen’s jaw dropped even further. Everything in front of him seemed like a phantasmic dream.

Ling Seventeen once again knelt and kowtowed to Ling Yun, who smiled and helped him up.

Finally, Ling Yun dispelled the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation and exited the workshop with Cui Lao.

Bows and arrows were easy to handle, but guns and ammunition had definitely posed a problem. It was impossible for the Ling Family to have their own arsenal, so he had to take it slow and conceive a plan.

“Go to the suburbs!”

Ling Yun and Cui Lao quickly arrived at the barren hills and mountains in the suburbs, parked the car on the side of the road, and planted themselves in the dense forest.

After finding an open space, Ling Yun took the golden bow out, then stood there and waited silently.

The silence was finally broken when a bird chirped and flew over them at a height of 500 meters. A piercing arrow materialized in Ling Yun’s left hand as he pulled the bow halfway, aimed at the bird, and swiftly released the arrow.

“God, so fast!” Cui Lao exclaimed!

Despite being at the peak of Xiantian Realm Level Two and having extraordinary visual prowess, all Cui Lao could capture was the rapid disappearance of the arrow right after Ling Yun’s release!

Without a trace!

In tandem with the bowstring’s buzzing recoil was the shriek of a bird up above. Almost instantly, a bird dropped to the ground with an arrow piercing through it.

Everything was variable in martial arts except speed and strength!

“Hehe, not bad... I can make do with this... This should spell trouble for that bastard Chen Jianwei...”

Chen Jianwei, as well as Barons and above in the Blood Clan, were definitely harder to kill than birds. Nonetheless, Ling Yun could certainly inflict serious damage to them.

Ling Yun smiled and put the golden bow away as he left the area with Cui Lao, who was still in a trance.

They quickly returned.

“Young Master, please let me be your chauffeur. It has always been my duty to chauffeur the masters of this household...”

“Hey, Cui Lao, it took me so much effort to get out of Qingshui, and I was just thinking of enjoying the new scenery and familiarizing myself with the terrain of Beijing. I’ll give you the pleasure once I’m done exploring...”

Ling Yun’s distaste for driving in Beijing stemmed from its insufferable traffic conditions and jams. Now that he was in the suburbs, he had all the freedom in the world.

“Cui Lao, someone has already tipped my presence here to Chen Sen from the Chen Family. It was Ling Hao who gave it away...”

“What? Ling Hao? How dare he...” Cui Lao’s expression experienced a drastic change!

Ling Yun’s arrival in Beijing was top secret and known only to Ling Lie, Cui Lao, as well as the few remaining men of sacrifice from eighteen years ago. Even Ling Zhen, the current head of the Ling Family, was kept in the dark. How could Ling Hao leak such confidential information outwards, to the Chen Family no less!

“Rest assured, Young Master, I will definitely report this to the master as soon as possible!” Cui Lao lowered his pitch, trying to contain the rage within.

However, Ling Hao was also a young master of the house, and he had indeed found Ling Yun through his own efforts. Cui Lao had no say in the matter and could only report to the master.

“Tell Grandpa that I don’t trust Ling Hao...” Ling Yun said calmly as he drove the car.

Cui Lao nodded. He had already known. Other than Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, and himself, there was no one else that Ling Yun could trust.

“Look, Young Master, you’ve been here for quite some time now. The aged master is missing you a lot at home. How about you go back and see your grandpa first?”

Ling Lie had personally instructed Cui Lao to bring Ling Yun home first. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sleep in peace.

How sad would it be! For such an excellent grandson to finally come to the capital city but visit every place but his home...

Ling Yun grinned. “Well, Cui Lao, you can go back and tell Grandpa that I will visit him personally tonight.”

Cui Lao nodded profusely in excitement after finally persuading Ling Yun to see his grandpa.

In fact, before killing Chen Jianwei, Ling Yun had no intention of returning to the family. However, now that the Chen Family had racked up substantial influence, he needed a comprehensive plan and a lot of support to eradicate them.

Furthermore, Ling Yun had noticed the blockages of True Qi among all the members of the Ling Family, which caused their martial arts to stagnate or even regress. He had to go back and cure their old injuries as soon as possible so that the family could be restored to its former glory!

His time was short since he had made too many enemies, so any action he made in Beijing, especially in regards to the Chen Family, would definitely draw negative attention from people!

That was the reason that Ling Yun hadn’t returned to the family. Once he had acknowledged his family, enemies would start attacking them when he was away!

It would be too late for Ling Yun to react.

If Ling Yun wanted to make a big splash in the capital, he had to first secretly fortify the defenses of the Ling Family!

“My two servants from the Blood Clan are definitely better than the previous men of sacrifice. Once I go back, I will instruct them to guard the Ling Family and ensure the safety of Grandpa and the rest... ” Ling Yun, full of confidence, proclaimed to Cui Laoxiao.

“Young Master is truly someone special... it’ll be difficult for the Ling Family not to do well under you... ”

Cui Lao felt great relief and sang praises to Ling Yun ?— genuine praises from the heart.

After witnessing Ling Yun’s actions over the past few days, Cui Lao realized that he was the radiant beam of light that the family needed.

The two quickly returned to the courtyard where Ling Yun lived. After Ling Yun got out of the car, he said to Cui Lao, “Cui Lao, after you go back, discuss a way to settle the ten people from the Cao Family with Grandpa. This doesn’t seem like a safe long-term option.”

“Rest assured, Young Master, although the Cao Family has been harmed, all three generations of masters are still there. Although the Chen Family has gotten hold of their secrets, as long as they still have some foundation left, they won’t perish!”

A top family in Huaxia definitely wouldn’t perish so easily. Like how Ling Yun couldn’t fully eradicate the Chen Family, the Chen Family wouldn’t be able to fully eradicate the Cao Family, even with a technique as despicable as The Embrace.

“All of this will remain a secret...”

Ling Yun’s heart twitched, and his facial expression changed dramatically. He had suddenly thought of Cao Shanshan and his Emperor Brush!
