Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Ling Changhe

Ling Zhongtian’s dwelling was currently filled with individuals; the top brass from North Town Hall and visitors from the Ling Family were present.

Two people had come from the Ling Family, a middle-aged man who bore a distinct resemblance to Ling Zhongtian and an old man with a long beard.

At that moment, all eyes were filled with worry as they watched Ling Zhongtian, who was sitting on the Jade Spirit Stone.

“How did he get so badly injured?” The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly, unable to refrain from questioning the high-ranking members of the North Town Hall.

“The injury from the Heavenly Punishment is no small matter. It’s quite fortunate that he didn’t die instantly,” an elder remarked with a sigh.

“Don’t casually mention those two words. Zhongtian was too reckless,” said the old man from the Ling family, eager to prevent the middle-aged man from pursuing the matter further.

...

The middle-aged man felt infuriated. He was Ling Zhongtian’s father and held a high-ranking position in the Ling Family. Although he was busy with various affairs, when he heard about his son’s critical injuries, he rushed over with a family elder and the Jade Spirit Stone.

Upon reaching, the middle-aged man discovered that Ling Zhongtian’s condition was not just a severe injury; it was an injury from the Heavenly Punishment. If it can’t be completely cured and even a trace is left, it will pose a risk.

The disruption of future prospects was a minor issue, but the effect on his lifespan was the most terrifying aspect.

Seeing his son being in such a state, Ling Changhe, the father, couldn’t bear and wanted to confront the North Town Hall.

“By the way, Zhongtian received the Heavenly Punishment while debating with Fang Lin. He can’t be totally absolved from this matter.” Ling Changhe suddenly spoke, his eyes flickering with a sinister glint.

The Ling Family Elder frowned. Ling Changhe, already irrational due to his son’s severe injury from the Heavenly Punishment, was looking for an outlet for his resentment.

“This matter doesn’t have much to do with Fang Lin. This injury from the Heavenly Punishment isn’t due to him,” a senior member from the North Town Hall stated, hoping that the Ling’s won’t drag Fang Lin into it.

“I will consider this matter myself,” Ling Changhe replied, maintaining his irked demeanor.

Cough! Cough!

At this moment, Ling Zhongtian coughed twice, blood spilled from his mouth, and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Zhongtian, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” Ling Changhe quickly moved closer and asked.

However, before Ling Zhongtian could respond, he screamed and tumbled onto the Jade Spirit Stone.

Everyone rushed to assess Ling Zhongtian’s condition.

“It’s better than before. The injury has eased a bit, but he will need some time to recuperate,” the Ling Family Elder said with a furrowed brow.

“Will Zhongtian be able to participate in the selection in three months?” Ling Changhe asked, showing the most concern towards that matter.

Both the Ling Family Elder and the seniors of North Town Hall shook their heads, suggesting that Ling Zhongtian might not recover in time.

“What a pity! Zhongtian was the most promising candidate to become the Hall Master’s sole disciple. Inexplicably…,” the skinny elder who supported Ling Zhongtian sighed and shook his head.

“If he treats his wounds daily with the Jade Spirit Stone and some special heavenly treasures, maybe there’s still a chance,” the Ling Family Elder suggested while glancing at the seniors of the North Town Hall.

The implication was clear: Zhongtian, the pride of the Ling Family, was seriously injured in the North Town Hall and it must offer some heavenly treasures as compensation. This matter wouldn’t be glossed over so easily.

The seniors of North Town Hall, who were profoundly insightful, quickly understood the Ling Family Elder’s message. One of the elders hurriedly assured, “Rest assured, we’ll provide Zhongtian some heavenly treasures to consume.”

“Excellent,” the Ling Family Elder nodded approvingly.

Seeing his son’s pale complexion, Ling Changhe was overwhelmed with rage. With nowhere to vent his anger, an idea sprouted in his mind.

·····

After his breakthrough, Fang Lin spends his days honing his skills. Whether it’s the Five Elements Secret Skill or Kylin martial arts, he was constantly improving.

The Millennium Corpse Ginseng became Fang Lin’s practice target.

With the current abilities of the Millennium Corpse Ginseng, it was perfect for Fang Lin’s practice. Also, the ginseng was incredibly tough, so tough practicing was no problem.

Naturally, each time after practicing, he had to give the Millennium Corpse Ginseng an ancient medicinal herb, otherwise, it will create a fuss.

One day, when Fang Lin had checked on Dugu Nian’s condition and came out of the Supreme Saint Hall, he heard footsteps outside.

Initially, Fang Lin didn’t think much about it since the footsteps was normal.

However, right after that, someone forcibly kicked open Fang Lin’s door.

A bang rang out as the door shattered into pieces. Fang Lin’s face darkened instantly, who would dare to act so outrageously in the North Town Hall?

“Are you Fang Lin?” A middle-aged man with a storming aura barged in. Upon seeing Fang Lin, his intimidating demeanor and challenging words were evident.

“Who are you?” responded Fang Lin, standing from his seat with an unreadable expression.

“I asked you first!” The middle-aged man flew into a rage, along with it, a ferocious slap was directly aimed at Fang Lin.

This palm strike was incredibly harsh, with a massive momentum of a full-power attack from a third-level Spirit Vein martial artist. Under such an offensive, any Heavenly Origin martial artist would have died instantly.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Ling Changhe’s palm was firmly grasped by Fang Lin. Despite his struggles, he couldn’t free himself from Fang Lin’s grip.

“You’re seeking death!” Ling Changhe was consumed with anger. How dare Fang Lin defy his authority? A humble pill refiner from the Lower Three Kingdoms — this was absolutely unforgivable.

His other hand emitted a jade-white shine, bringing forth an even more powerful force aimed directly at Fang Lin’s face.

This fatal strike was aimed at taking Fang Lin’s life ruthlessly, and in the North Town Hall no less, indicating his brazen audacity.

Unable to underestimate, Fang Lin full-body strength was activated in an instant, a Kylin Fist was blasted.

Boom!!!!

With a deafening roar accompanied by the Kylin’s furious growl, the Power of the Demon Bone erupted, and Ling Changhe’s palm instantly made sounds of breaking bone. Blood splashed out from his mouth.

Ling Changhe was utterly shocked. He was a third-level Spirit Vein mighty figure who had used his killing move, yet he was thrown into the air, vomiting blood from a punch by Fang Lin?

How is that possible?

At this moment, Ling Changhe suddenly recalled, could this Fang Lin be the same one who had caused a huge commotion in Xuan Country, upsetting the royal family?

Regrettably, it was too late to think of this now. After having provoked Fang Lin, he charged, and another even more formidable attack was on the brink of landing on Ling Changhe.

Splutter!

Ling Changhe screamed in pain, spewing out more blood, becoming increasingly bedraggled in appearance.

“Stop!”

“Stop it now!”

“Don’t harm him!”

·····

At this moment, people from North Town Hall had arrived too. From quite a distance, they were loudly demanding a halt.
