Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 404 Expelling Ling Chen! The Eternal Emperor's Fear

According to the descriptions of these five disciples, Ling Qingxue kills Immortal Lords as easily as slaughtering dogs, and it is likely that cultivators of the same realm would find it difficult to defeat her.

Then only a Celestial King-level figure would be able to step in!

While we're at it, we can also recall Ling Chen, who ran away from home, and devise a plan to deal with this abandoned baby. That shouldn't be a problem.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng's words thwarted the elder's plan:

"I've already sent people to look for Ling Chen, but unfortunately he disappeared without a trace a few days ago, and nobody knows where he went."

"Hmph!" Ling Shuangshuang snorted coldly.

"He must have been in secret contact with that little witch. Knowing that she wanted to take revenge on the Ling family but was powerless to stop her, how could he dare to stay and wait for the family to come after him?!"

"You brat!!"

"Ling Chen is outrageous! He caused the family immense losses back then, and now he's trying to collude with that witch to harm the family again?!"

"I never expected the Three Immortal Ancestors to think so highly of him. Not only did he willingly degenerate, but he has now committed such a disheartening act! How disappointed the Three Immortal Ancestors would be if they knew!!"

"He doesn't deserve to be a member of the Ling family!!" Ling Shuangshuang's emotions were also ignited, and she shouted coldly:

"From this day forward! I, Ling Shuangshuang, no longer have this second brother! If anyone dares to obstruct the family's dealings with Ling Qingxue, then kill him!!!"

Even her own younger sister was killed by Ling Qingxue, how could she swallow this insult!

No one present objected to her implication of 'expelling Ling Chen'.

Ling Chen has now withdrawn from the center of power in the family. His great talent has been wasted and his Dao heart has been clouded. Now that his daughter is harming the family, he hasn't said a word. He has already become estranged from the family!

'Shuangmei is really a great wingman...' Ling Feng chuckled to himself.

Once Ling Chen is expelled from the family, even if the events of that year are exposed, they will no longer be a stain on his reputation!

'This matter isn't urgent, after all, Second Uncle's lineage still carries considerable weight...' Ling Feng glanced at Ling Chen's father, who was frowning in the crowd, and began to silently ponder...

……

"Reporting to the Palace Master!" In the main hall, a black-robed cultivator, kneeling on one knee, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the illusory figure behind the desk and reported:

"The seven Celestial Kings who went to intercept Luo Hongxi have perished!"

After a moment of silence, the phantom finally spoke and gave the order:

"Let's drop this matter and tell people not to provoke Luo Hongxi."

"Yes!" The man in black nodded slightly, got up, and left.

"I thought you had only received some passive rewards from the Heavenly Dao, but I never imagined your personal strength would be so astonishing..." the woman behind the desk murmured to herself.

When Feng Qingkuang learned that Luo Hongxi had obtained the Heavenly Sword, the portrait of the young master beside her caught his attention!

Unexpectedly, this person not only tied himself to Ling Qingxue, but also to Luo Hongxi.

It's safe to assume that Tu Miaoling, who ascended at the same time as Luo Hongxi, is also the other party's character!

All three characters ascended to the Immortal Realm quickly, and their profound origins truly surprised Feng Qingkuang.

She had already prepared herself for the seven Celestial Kings she sent to their deaths.

After all, the Celestial Venerable Dunkong under her command originally intended to use the method of time reversal to influence Shen Yun in the future and present.

However, the result was that the Immortal Venerable Dunkong died silently in the river of time.

It's obvious without even thinking that it must be related to Shen Yun, the person in question.

These seven Celestial Kings were actually testing whether Shen Yun had any other means of actively protecting himself besides being passive.

The results proved that Shen Yun, in addition to being passive, also possessed a powerful killing move: crossing borders to kill enemies!

In addition, the ability to trace back to the source and kill the original body that he used when he killed Liu Ruyan made Feng Qingkuang unwilling to confront him directly.

These hidden cards are like an inexhaustible enemy, which is the most terrifying.

After testing the waters, it's best to lie low and wait quietly. Even with her cultivation level, she'd likely suffer a bad outcome if they encountered each other.

'Originally, the purpose of dealing with Ling Qingxue was to allow Liu Ruyan to ascend to the Xuan Tian realm, but now it has turned out like this...' Feng Qingkuang said helplessly.

Life is truly unpredictable; man proposes, God disposes.

Who could have predicted that player Shen Yun would develop to this extent?

Since we can't deal with Shen Yun for the time being, let's wait and see if he can find a way to reach the Immortal Realm and the Escape Continent!

This is the purpose of her cultivation.

'If I could return to the Dunyi Continent…' Feng Qingkuang's gaze was deep and mysterious, as if countless scenes were flashing in her eyes.

As for whether Shen Yun will kill her when he grows up?

Let's find her first; the ultimate in self-preservation is not just a saying.

"Report! A letter from the Ling family!" a cultivator shouted from outside the hall.

"The Ling family?" Feng Qingkuang asked calmly.

"Just create the illusion of cooperation with them; no need to report back."

Just a tool.

There's no need to target Shen Yun and Ling Qingxue anymore, because Shen Yun has a strong foundation, so targeting him further wouldn't be very meaningful.

Then the Ling family is naturally useless; let them fend for themselves...

……

In front of the Mingxiao Dojo.

"Young Master, I'm going up the mountain now." Luo Hongxi looked at Shen Yun with reluctance.

Although she had spent three days with the young master, the time flew by, and she was reluctant to leave, feeling far from satisfied.

"Go on, cultivate diligently once you get up the mountain, and don't be naughty." With a smile, Shen Yun pinched the girl's nose, then nodded slightly to Liu Ting and the other two before disappearing from the spot.

'Tsk tsk, that movement technique! I couldn't detect the slightest trace of his departure!'

'Luckily, I didn't underestimate him because of his cultivation level, otherwise my Mingxiao Dojo would have missed the opportunity to befriend him!' Liu Ting, secretly relieved, smiled at Luo Hongxi.

“Miss Luo, let’s go. If the Immortal Venerable knew that you could join the Daoist temple, he would be overjoyed.”

If Shen Yun hadn't declined the invitation to go up the mountain, he would have already notified the Ancestral Master to come and welcome him!

“Okay.” Luo Hongxi nodded and began to examine the strongest force mentioned by the immortal cultivators.

The three people beside her accompanied her as she slowly walked up the mountain.

After exchanging glances, Liu Ting finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Miss Luo, where is your young master from?"

"I don't know either." Luo Hongxi shook her head blankly.

She really didn't know that.

Liu Ting changed his wording:

"Then your young master's parents must have very high cultivation levels, right?"

"Of course!" Luo Hongxi replied without hesitation.

If a son can be such an outstanding person, how could his parents not be outstanding as well?

'As expected!' Liu Ting and the other two felt a chill run down their spines.

Luo Hongxi's expression didn't seem fake, which meant that the other young master's parents were truly powerful!

But in recent years, I haven't heard of any Quasi-Emperors walking around in the Immortal Realm, let alone Immortal Emperors.

Then there are even fewer strong couples at this level.

The doubts and curiosity that arose in their hearts were like ants crawling all over Liu Ting and the other two, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Ting silently organized her thoughts, trying to make her question as natural as possible:

"A young master of such extraordinary talent must have parents who are at least Immortal Venerable Realm experts!"

Luo Hongxi remained silent, partly because she didn't know.

Secondly, the other party was clearly questioning the young master about his background.

She has her own judgment on what she can and cannot say, so how could she possibly reveal everything?

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers from her, Liu Ting gave up and began to introduce the Mingxiao Dojo to her...
