Chapter 729: Defensive Measures

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Even though Ling Yun was perplexed, he had no regrets. That was because, according to Yamada, the large Japanese ninja families included Tokugawa, Shin, Yagyu, Edo, and Mitsui

In order to understand the Tokugawa Clans power distribution, asking Mitsui was obviously more useful than asking Yamada.

Ling Yun casually pulled out a Fire Talisman, burning Yamadas corpse into a crisp. Then, he got up and went into the next room.

Mitsui was born from one of the large families. Naturally, he was much more stubborn than Yamada. Even though he was already one of his prisoners, he refused to answer a single question posed by Ling Yun.

However, an immortal doctor like Ling Yun had many different methods to deal with someone like that. Soon, he pried Mitsuis mouth open and obtained the information he needed.

Throughout the interrogation, the pain Mitsui experienced made him feel like he was living in a nightmare in his cell. He regretted having ever come into this world.

Mitsui-san, thank you for all your information. This information is very valuable to me. However, since youre about to die, lets not waste any energy on you. How about you give yours to me

Ling Yun used the vortex reversal on his energy center again. With his absorption power, he absorbed all of Mitsuis cultivation, turning it into his own Yin-Yang True Qi.

Ah, let me release you from your suffering

Ling Yuns powers soared tremendously. Pointing at Mitsui, he released several gusts of wind straight toward Mitsuis brow. He killed him on the spot, then rewarded him with a Fire Talisman. In an instant, Mitsui turned to ash.

At this moment, Ling Yun heard a loud and hasty noise from Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li. They wanted to enter but were stopped by Cui Lao.

Looks like they are done with their baths

Ling Yun smiled and flew out of the room. With a flicker of his body, he exited the Ling Familys dungeon and appeared at the entrance.

Look, I told you the fifth young master would be here soon, didnt I

Cui Lao couldnt hold Ling Yong and the others back any longer. Seeing Ling Yun step out of the dungeon, he was instantly elated.

Fifth Brother

Fifth Brother

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li saw that Ling Yun had really come out. In an instant, they let Cui Lao go and surrounded him.

Whats the matter? Ling Yun asked the three people cheekily.

Fifth Brother, what did you do to those three? Since you wanted to take care of them, why didnt you wait for us Ling Yong asked anxiously.

Those three people were really tight-lipped. In a fit of rage, I sent all of them to meet Hades

Ling Yun lifted his hand casually as he rubbed his nose.

Ah!

Erm

Thats way too fast, isnt it

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were thoroughly stunned. Their jaws dropped fully.

Ill go take a look and stab their corpses again to take revenge for our men of sacrifice!

Ling Yong actually wanted to defile the corpses.

Theyve all turned to ash. There isnt even a trace to be seen

Ling Yun laughed aloud as he flew out of the room and entered the eighth courtyard.

Ling Yong and the others stared at each other gloomily. They could only follow Ling Yun in a perplexed manner. Each one of them sighed, blaming Ling Yun for moving too fast.

Cui Lao, our Ling Familys defenses are far too weak. We have to fortify them immediately. I need some materials

Ling Yun shut the dungeon doors tightly before speaking telepathically to Cui Lao.

What do you need? Fifth Young Master, dont hesitate and simply say the word Cui Lao asked respectfully. He knew that Ling Yun was going to set up a strong formation.

Ling Yun gestured with his hands. I need iron ingots that are as large as a football. I need at least a few hundred of those. Get me as many as you can!

Cui Lao smiled and nodded. Fifth Young Master, iron ingots arent difficult to procure. Its just that you need to pre-order such a large amount of them

Its decided. But you have to be fast! Get them as fast as you possibly can!

The Ling Familys ancestral home had a total of nine courtyards. Ling Yun intended to set up many Illusory and Killing Formations. However, all he had now was money. Naturally, he wouldnt use rocks to set up his formations anymore. Instead, he was going to use iron ingots.

Xiantian Realm experts could shatter rocks with a single palm. However, iron ingots werent so easily destroyed. In fact, they were much more suited for constructing formations.

Cui Lao nodded. Seeing that Ling Yong and the others had no intention of letting Ling Yun go, he quietly gave Ling Yun a greeting before he went to report back to Ling Lie.

Ling Yun took Ling Yong and the others to walk about the courtyard. He used his divine sense to detect that there were no other incoming enemies. So, he smiled and said to them, Do you want to see me perform some magic?

Currently, Ling Yong and the others already knew that the Healing Talismans they had in hand were from Ling Yun. Seeing that Ling Yun wanted to perform a magic trick now, all of their eyes began to glow heatedly with expectation.

Of course we do! the three brothers said unabashedly.

Ling Yun chuckled. With a flip of his body, he landed outside the walls of the Ling Family. This place had a thick layer of overgrowth.

The other three naturally chased after Ling Yun, entering the thick forest.

Watch carefully!

With his subconscious, a Fire Talisman appeared in Ling Yuns hand. Tossing it onto a thick tree, he quietly activated it.

With an explosion, a bundle of blue flames enveloped that huge tree. It began burning viciously. Soon, it enveloped the entire tree, burning it into a crisp. With loud crunching sounds, the upper-half of the three collapsed to the ground. The large tree leaned heavily onto the tree next to it. As it fell, the broken branches and leaves scattered about as well.

Wow, thats amazing! Ling Yong exclaimed in shock!

D*mn, what talisman is that? Thats terrifying. If you use it to burn someone up Ling Li instantly realized why Ling Yun said that Mitsui and the others had vanished into thin air.

Ling Lis jaw dropped wide, he was shocked speechless.

Ling Yun chuckled. The talismans you guys used before are called Healing Talismans. Theyre used for treating external injuries. No matter how heavy the injury is, as long as your limbs are still intact, it can definitely help you recover!

After saying that, Ling Yun pointed at the burning branch before saying, This is a Fire Talisman, and if you use it on a person, I can guarantee that it will burn them to ashes!

With that, Ling Yun pulled out a bundle of Fire Talisman and split them into three stacks. He handed them out and said, Understand that even though this thing is terrifying, it isnt all-encompassing. If an expert manages to toss it aside when you use it, itll become completely useless

After giving them the Fire Talismans, Ling Yun took out Gold Talismans and Defense Talismans and taught them how to use them. Then, he reminded them not to use the talismans incorrectly.

Amidst a heated fight, if they suddenly slapped a Defense Talisman onto their enemy, that would definitely be terrifying.

These talismans are for your own personal defense. You can only use them in a life-or-death situation. Do you all understand?

Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were completely shocked. However, each of their faces revealed joy as they nodded like excited shrimps.

Ling Yong whined. Damn, Fifth Brother, why didnt you come back earlier? If you were here, we would definitely have been able to burn those foreigners away!

Ling Feng didnt forget to ask, Fifth Brother, have you given these talismans to Grandpa, First Uncle, and Second Uncle as well?

Ling Yun smiled gently. Relax, Ill give them some. As long as Im around, Ill ensure that our Ling Family never faces a situation like this again!

Go back now. I have something to report to Grandpa!

With that, Ling Yun flew into the Ling Familys residence and headed towards Ling Lies courtyard.

At this moment, there were already two men of sacrifice who were standing in front of Ling Lies entrance. Seeing Ling Yun appear, they bowed immediately and said that they would inform Ling Lie of his presence.

However, Ling Lies voice trailed from the house. My grandson wants to meet me. What is there for you to report? Remember this, in the future, there is no place the fourth young master, Ling Yun, cant go!

Fourth Young Master, please! The two men of sacrifice bowed immediately and invited Ling Yun in.

Ling Yun laughed aloud as he thought, It looks like Grandpa still acknowledges me as the fourth young master. Big Sister Ling Xius words werent right

Ling Yun entered Ling Lies residence and found Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, and Cui Lao there. The four of them smiled and stared at Ling Yun.

Grandpa, I was a little too harsh just now. The three of them are already dead Ling Yun said this cheekily to Ling Lie. However, his expression looked like it was nothing.

Ling Lie laughed. Youre the one who captured them. So what if you kill them? Anyway, they would have died sooner or later. I definitely wouldnt have let them off easy!

After a series of laughs, Ling Yun suddenly said seriously, Grandpa, Chen Haizhen said that my father wasnt captured by the Chen Family. He said that my father didnt disappear because of them.

Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, and Ling Yue exchanged glances. Then, Ling Yue nodded and said, Thats probably not a lie. After they captured me, they didnt mention anything about Third Brother. From start to end, they didnt say a single word about that

Ling Lie glanced at Cui Lao. Then, he turned and asked Ling Zhen, What do you think?

Ling Zhen remained silent for a moment. He thought about it, then said, Father, I think Third Brothers disappearance is probably much more complicated than Second Brothers matter. The mastermind behind this is probably much stronger than the Chen Family. They definitely have a larger motive in mind for this.

Ling Lie nodded and replied casually, We cant rush this matter. Lets keep this matter under wraps for now. Well stick to what Ive been telling them. As for the others, we need to regroup and have a discussion to come up with a new plan!

With that, Ling Lie stared curiously at Ling Yun. He smiled and said, Yun Er, did you ask for all those iron ingots to set up formations?

Ling Yun scratched his head and replied, Grandpa, I think our defenses are far too weak. So, I thought of some defensive measures. Setting up formations is just part of it.

The strength of Ling Yuns formations was something everyone in the room had witnessed firsthand. Once they heard that Ling Yun was going to set up one for the Ling Family, they began chatting excitedly.

That was because, in the entirety of Beijing, other than Chinas most secretive Heavenly Team, only the Long Family and the Ye Family used formation arts to build their defenses!

Right now, the Ling Family was one of them!
