Chapter 133 The Truth is Cruel

Ling Hao snarled in a low voice."Damn it!" At this moment, Qin Ming slammed his teacup heavily on the dining table and roared, "Qin Hongyuan, who the hell is he Are you guys rebelling""Dad, he is Ruir...[ ]

Although Xue Lin Zeng appeared relaxed on the surface, she was already in turmoil inside!

She never expected to be targeted by a big shot like Ling Shuai!

This time, things really look grim. She has no idea if she'll even make it through today.

As the saying goes, "A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Just these two characters, 'Ling Shuai,' are enough to fill her with despair!"

"You're asking for it!" Lu Yue's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to attack.

King of the West, Lord of the Shadow Gate, how dare you speak to me so flippantly!

"Lu Yue!" Ling Hao spoke in a low voice, stopping her. Then, he looked at Zeng Xue Lin.

"Listen, let him go and come with us. If you cooperate, maybe there's still a chance to survive!"

"Hee hee hee..." Zeng Xuelian giggled, her body trembling with laughter. "I didn't expect Ling Shuai to be so humorous!"

"This is your only chance, you're really not going to cherish it" Ling Hao spoke again, his voice as light as ever.

"What do you think" Zeng Xue Lin smiled again, her voice dripping with honey. "Even Lord Ling Shuai himself has made an appearance. If I surrender, will there even be a way out for me"

"You think by holding so many people hostage, you've got me beat" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hehehe, I heard it said that Ling Shuai's hands never touch the blood of innocents."

Then Zeng Xue-lin continued, "If these people die because of you, I wonder if it would count as being killed by you"

"Heh heh, you overestimate yourself!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed.

Boom!

The next moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from him like a breached Yellow River dam, instantly rippling outwards. The air crackled with potent energy.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Next, all the people at the scene except Lu Yue and the Judge were flung out like autumn leaves scattered by the wind, their bodies contorted in mid-air.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Then one by one they fell to the ground, but it seemed they weren't seriously injured.

This was obviously done on purpose by Ling Hao. Otherwise, not to mention those hostages, even martial artists like Zeng Xue Lin wouldn't stand a chance of surviving.

Whew! Whew!

Almost at the same moment Ling Hao's momentum exploded, Lu Yue and the Judge both moved simultaneously. Two phantoms shot out like wisps of smoke, raising their hands to unleash blasts of wind energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In less than a minute, all the assassins except Zeng Xue Lin were blown to pieces, none survived.

Having followed Ling Hao for so long, the two had developed a deep understanding of each other. They knew what he meant with every single move he made.

Wow!

Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, everyone present vomited and turned pale with fright.

"Ma He, are you dead If not, get up quickly and lead everyone away from here!" Lu Yue then looked at Ma He in the distance and said in a low voice.

"Yes... Yes, sir!" Ma He shivered, quickly got up and shouted to the surroundings: "Hurry up!"

Wow!

The hostages, who had been held captive, struggled to their feet and rushed towards the entrance of the estate.

"Now do you believe me" At the same time, Ling Hao's figure had already arrived in front of Zeng Xue Lin.

"I admit I underestimated you!"

Zeng XueLin got up from the ground, her face changing several times. She knew she was finished.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before her words could even leave her lips, Ling Hao flipped his wrist, and three silver needles shot out, piercing into her body.

"You...what did you do to me"

Zeng Xue Lin's whole body trembled, she spoke in terror, she found that she couldn't mobilize even a shred of true qi.

"Don't panic, I've only temporarily sealed your cultivation!" Ling Hao said calmly, then added, "Just in case you try to commit suicide!"

Given his understanding of the Ink Pavilion, a killer organization where those above a certain level have definitely been brainwashed and are always ready to commit suicide.

He still had to get the truth from five years ago out of the other party's mouth, naturally he wouldn't let the other party die so easily.

"What do you want to do" After hearing Ling Hao's words, Zeng Xue Lin was stunned.

She had a vague suspicion that Ling Hao's visit this time wasn't entirely about her being from the Mo Ge.

"I have something I'd like you to help me figure out!" Ling Hao replied.

"What...what's going on" Zeng XueLin's suspicions grew stronger and stronger.

"Do you remember the Zheng family from Dongzhou five years ago" Ling Hao spoke in a soft tone.

"Um!" Zeng Xue Lin shivered: "You...who are you"

"Let me introduce myself," Ling Hao replied. "I'm the adopted son of the head of the Zheng family in Dongzhou. I miraculously survived five years ago!"

"It's you!" Zeng Xue Lin exclaimed in shock, her face full of astonishment.

She finally knew why Ling Hao was afraid she would commit suicide!

"Tell me, who made you take action against the Zheng family What's your purpose" Ling Hao looked at the other person.

I advise you not to try to lie, otherwise, before you die, you will taste the agony of living worse than death!

Boom!

Then, Zeng Xue Lin collapsed onto the ground with a heavy thud. Her face was pale and etched with utter despair.

She didn't doubt Ling Hao's words at all. For someone of his level, it would be too easy to get the truth out of her.

"Actually, I don't even know who the other person really is…" After taking a deep breath, Zeng Xuelian spoke in a trembling voice.

"The other party has only met me once, and that was in disguise. All I know is that the other party comes from a prominent family in the capital city."

He gave me a billion-dollar reward to do this for him...

"Hmm" Ling Hao frowned. "What is the other party's purpose Why would they exterminate the Zheng family"

"That matter, from a certain angle, was actually caused by you. The Zheng family was just implicated because of you." Zeng Xue Lin took another deep breath and replied.

"What does that mean!" Ling Hao's pupils constricted slightly.

"The other party's ultimate goal is to get the jade pendant on you!" Zeng Xue Lin paused for a moment before continuing.

"Jade pendant" Ling Hao trembled all over.

At the same time, the dragon-shaped jade pendant that Qin Yuxin had taken away flashed in my mind.

That jade pendant was a birthday gift from his biological mother when he was young. He always thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant worth a little more, and never considered that it had any special significance!

"Yes!" Zeng Xue Lin nodded.

"The other party requires us to make it appear as if we are not specifically targeting you, and that we should not expose the identity of our Ink Pavilion. Instead, they want others to believe that this is simply a case of enemies of the Zheng family seeking revenge."

"So, I first looked for Heishandiao, the underworld king of Dongzhou at the time, but he refused to help."

Then I went to find the heads of the other three families in Dongzhou. The three families had a long-standing grudge against the Zheng family, so they hit it off immediately.

Boom!

Hearing this, a surge of intense hatred emanated from Ling Hao.

Poof!

The next moment, Ling Hao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body's breath became extraordinarily disordered.

"Brother!" Lu Yue and the Judge shouted at the same time.e time Hao Tianheng took out a document from his person and handed it to Ling Hao.Whew!Ling Hao didn't even glance at the document. With a gust of wind, he swept it away, and the document instantly tu...
