The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 75 Hidden Old Friends

Having endured humiliation and endless infamy in his previous life, how could Feng Ling not see the predicament Sun Yuyang was just facing? However, the former deserved it, while the latter was wronged and could not clear his name.

"Boom!" A soft explosion of air suddenly rang out, and a powerful aura, no less than that of Ling Weiyun's clone, rose from the crowd below.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi, Ruan Xinrou, and the others felt a great relief from the pressure and breathed a sigh of relief. After returning to normal, they all stood up straight with pride.

"Elder Ling! Then we shall take our leave." Li Hao seized the opportunity to bow respectfully, then turned and quickly departed with twenty or thirty powerful and influential figures. He secretly transmitted his voice helplessly, "As for the Sun family's affairs, this junior is powerless to help!"

The Sun family is like a quagmire; once you get caught up in it, no one can stay clean!

What Li Hao didn't say was that the phantom beast skin was secretly sold by their Jia family a month ago! The person who purchased it was Zhang Yi in disguise.

At the time, Li Hao joked, "This thing is exactly like human skin. The level of realism is so high that it can be mistaken for the real thing. Son-in-law, please don't use it to do anything harmful!" Zhang Yi's reply was "Of course."

Li Hao had no idea that this wretched fellow, instead of doing it himself, had sent it to someone else! With Ruan Xinrou's exotic knowledge and methods, she probably knew better than them how to use this magical beast skin.

Shortly after, Sun Yunshan died suddenly and without warning. Anticipating that he might have been involved in shady dealings, Li Hao remained silent at the memorial ceremony, wisely choosing to protect himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cold to Zhang Yi when they met at the Miaoyin Pavilion lantern riddle gathering.

"Brother Li Hao, did I say you could leave?" Just as Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step out of the hall, a lukewarm voice came from the handsome man behind him.

"Whoosh!" Immediately afterward, Zhang Yi gave Old Fu a wink, already intending to kill him to silence him. The latter immediately understood, creating a long trail of afterimages to block the path of the richly dressed man in the mink coat, before a pair of terrifyingly powerful, withered old claws swiftly attacked the man's face.

"Pfft...!" Already outmatched and then caught off guard by this sudden attack, Li Hao managed to block his opponent for less than a second before spitting out blood and flying two meters back to crash to the ground. The people following behind him were terrified and scattered in all directions.

"Not good!" A blue lightning bolt exploded with tremendous speed, landing in the two-meter buffer zone. The next second, Ling Weiyun's clone was already in front of Li Hao, and struck the simple old man who had just emerged from the aftershock of the lightning ball with a palm.

"Bang!" The entire hall trembled violently as two powerful air currents collided, stinging the faces of those nearby who desperately tried to resist them.

"Li Hao, lead everyone away!" The white-haired old man shouted in a deep voice, and a burst of violent electricity erupted out. With a powerful and unstoppable force, he pressed down and knocked his opponent back.

"Thank you, Elder Ling!" As the aftershocks of the air currents swept over him, Li Hao came to his senses. He glanced at the pale-faced old man opposite him with lingering fear, then turned and led his group to respectfully bow to the withered old man's back before cautiously moving out of the hall.

"Bang!" A powerful shockwave carrying metallic sparks slammed back the handsome man who was about to launch a sneak attack. The latter staggered back three or four steps, his heart filled with turmoil.

"Feng Ling, I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treat your elder brother?" Zhang Yi was shocked. Wasn't this guy only at the eighth level of cultivation before? How did he reach the ninth level so quickly, on par with him... No! To be precise, he was slightly stronger than him!

"I had no intention of interfering in Brother Zhang Yi's family affairs!" The man with the extraordinary bearing had barely uttered these words when the man opposite him felt a surge of joy, only to be immediately met with a cold shower. "But... unfortunately, the matter of evil spirit masters is of great importance, and you've just attacked one of our sect's elders... I'm sorry!"

Feng Ling frowned again and spoke in a deep voice, raising the flaming spear in his hand to show his stance. This was definitely not the kind of situation Feng Ling wanted to see.

"Whoosh!" A biting cold wind swept in from outside the hall, blowing against the two men staring at each other. Their purple robes fluttered and their white robes swayed, and the scene was filled with a subtle atmosphere of impending doom. No one doubted that if Zhang Yi dared to take another step forward, he would be met with a fierce and sudden attack.

"Hmph! Since you are so ungrateful, from now on we will be strangers. You go your way, and I'll go mine!" Zhang Yi sheathed his sword with a gloomy face and snorted coldly at the man in purple. He had already made up his mind. Since they couldn't be allies, he couldn't let Feng Ling stand completely against him.

It's true that Zhang Yi values ​​Feng Ling, but not to this extent. Rather than saying he's wary of Feng Ling, it's more accurate to say he's wary of the tenth-rank expert who's clinging to Feng Ling... Feng Yuqing!

Damn it! If you offend one of them, you end up offending two. Although the resistance of the tenth level doesn't pose a fatal threat to my godfather, it's still a troublesome problem!
“That’s right, the Sun family doesn’t welcome you!” After searching for a while, Ruan Xinrou finally got a chance to speak, looking very proud of herself, as if she were someone who cared about her.

"You're asking for death! Who are you calling ungrateful?" Ignoring the beautiful woman, Feng Yuqing angrily took out the Red Lotus Whip, just about to swing it at the white-robed man with the ugly face opposite her, when the purple-clad man in front of her reached out and blocked her.

"I think you've misunderstood. I've said before that the evil spirit masters are of great importance, and I won't leave until they're eradicated!" Feng Ling said calmly, as if he hadn't seen the other party's furious outburst.

Then, she continued, "Also, I hope you remember that the true head of the Sun family... will always be only Miss Yu Yang!"

"Bang!" The aura of the tenth level was released again, and Zhang Yi and his companion, filled with grief and indignation, turned pale once more. They gritted their teeth and stared at the arrogant woman behind the man in purple, but they were holding their breath and trying to circulate their energy, unable to utter any more curses.

……

"You'll regret going against me!" Glancing at Li Hao and the others who were quickly leaving outside the hall, leaving only blurry figures, Old Fu, with his trembling, yellowed right hand on his back, looked at the withered old man standing in front of him with a calm expression, feeling both shocked and angry.

"Oh~, the old steward of the Sun family is treacherous. I'll wait and see! My two junior disciples, let's go!" Suppressing his surging blood and qi, Ling Weiyun's clone called out to the back. Feng Ling immediately raised an eyebrow, put away his Fire-Tipped Spear, and followed after Feng Yuqing, who was extremely unwilling to give up.

The entire hall relaxed instantly. Zhang Yi and the others gritted their teeth and wiped the sweat that had seeped into their foreheads, their hearts filled with deep resentment!
"Don't worry, Senior Brother's experiment is about to succeed! You just need to send him a few dozen more fresh flesh-cutting blood hearts, and he can force them both to break through to the tenth level!"

After the group left, Old Fu gave a sinister snort, his eyes turning a strange blood red. He turned and swept his gloomy gaze over Zhang Yi and Ruan Xinrou, no longer the honest and simple old butler he had been when they first met.
He's simply... a bloodthirsty demon!

"Yes!" Zhang Yi and the other man trembled and lowered their heads in shock.

"Have we been discovered?" Old Fu turned around and brought his charred old hand closer, muttering hoarsely to himself. Then, a corrosive black aura emanated from his palm, and the scars left by the lightning mysteriously disappeared, and everything slowly returned to normal.
