Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing this, Wen Ying finally shifted her gaze from Ling Zizhe and looked at the seemingly dignified head of the Ling family in the hall.

Wen Ying wanted to explain, but unfortunately, her tongue had already been burned and ruined by Ling Zizhe with a red-hot iron rod. Even if she tried her best, she could only make fragmented sounds like "呜呜."

The sound was not loud, but it contained sorrow, making everyone present feel very uncomfortable. Some people turned their heads away, not daring to look at Wen Ying.

Ling Zizhe was also a little flustered at this time. He was afraid that Wen Ying would reveal the truth, so he hardened his heart and kicked Wen Ying's abdomen fiercely.

This kick was extremely powerful, immediately causing Wen Ying to open her mouth and spit out a stream of turbid blood. At the same time, her body bent up like a cooked shrimp.

"You slut, I, Ling Zizhe, have always treated you well, and even swore to marry you! But you're so ungrateful, you actually colluded with outsiders to plot to seize my Ling family's property! If I don't kill you today, how can I face the ancestors of the Ling family!"

Going all the way, to prevent Wen Ying from telling the truth, Ling Zizhe really went crazy, kicking Wen Ying's lower abdomen firmly, kicking her until she was about to faint.

"Zhe'er, enough, stop for now!"

Seeing Wen Ying's miserable appearance, Ling Yunfeng sighed and stopped him.

After hearing this, Ling Zizhe did not stop immediately, but secretly glanced at Wen Ying, and found that she still had a trace of sanity, so he simply kicked her forehead harder a couple of times, until she completely fainted, then stopped, turned to Ling Yunfeng and bowed, saying: "Father, our Ling family has had such a scandal, and I am also responsible for it. If I had not brought this woman back, then she would not have been able to steal the top-grade immortal crystal stones and thousand-year spiritual herbs from the treasury, so please punish me, Father!"

Although Ling Zizhe was cowardly by nature, he was remarkable when it came to scheming and trickery. Especially this remark, it was even more seamless.

First, he took the initiative to admit his mistake to Ling Yunfeng, trying to win Ling Yunfeng's favor, and then he expressed his willingness to take responsibility, so that he could win a good reputation of 'dare to take responsibility' in everyone's mind.

In this way, Ling Yunfeng would definitely take into account the father-son relationship, and thus let him off the hook.

Ling Zizhe's abacus was quite clever!

And the facts developed as he expected. After hearing his words, a look of relief suddenly appeared on Ling Yunfeng's face, and he nodded and said: "Since Zhe'er can take the initiative to admit his mistake and dare to take responsibility, I am very gratified. Okay, the punishment for you will be discussed later. Now, let this slut confess who her secret lover is, so that we can recover the lost treasury, that's the most important thing."

Hearing Ling Yunfeng's statement, everyone knew what he was thinking. After answering 'Yes' in unison, they stopped talking.

Ling Zizhe breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that this hurdle had been overcome.

Next, everyone discussed in the 'Hall of Law and Politics' for a while, but they couldn't come up with any good countermeasures. So they had to join hands to set up a seal, trapping Wen Ying, who had been beaten half to death by Ling Zizhe. After bowing to Ling Yunfeng, everyone withdrew.

Soon, only Ling Yunfeng and Ling Zizhe, the father and son, and Wen Ying, who was still unconscious, were left here.

"It's getting late, Father should go to rest early. I will take care of this slut. I will definitely use all kinds of methods to make her confess." After everyone had retreated, Ling Zizhe respectfully said to Ling Yunfeng.

At this time, Ling Zizhe's heart was relaxed. He had already decided that after Ling Yunfeng left, he would immediately kill Wen Ying and create a false impression of suicide out of fear of crime.

At that time, with no proof of death, Ling Zizhe could further push all the responsibility onto Wen Ying, so that he could be completely carefree.

Thinking of this, Ling Zizhe himself felt that he was very smart, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Hmph, confess? I think you want to kill someone to silence them!"

However, when Ling Zizhe was still secretly happy, Ling Yunfeng's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing his excitement.

Ling Zizhe trembled suddenly, raised his head in disbelief, and found that Ling Yunfeng was staring at him with an incomparably cold gaze.

Ling Zizhe had been most afraid of his father since he was a child, so at this time, seeing this murderous gaze, the fear in his heart surged uncontrollably, his legs trembled, and he couldn't help kneeling down.

Seeing Ling Zizhe's appearance, Ling Yunfeng closed his eyes as if he understood everything, sighed, and said: "I guessed right, all of this was done by you, you孽障!"

Ling Yunfeng knew Wen Ying earlier than Ling Zizhe. Through getting along with her, Ling Yunfeng found that Wen Ying was a woman with a charming appearance but a pure heart.

Otherwise, Ling Yunfeng would not have trusted her so easily in the first place.

Especially when Wen Ying first sneaked into the Ling family, she only stole the Twilight Spirit Sword that the 'Xuan Yin Immortal' had asked for, and did not touch anything else in the Ling family's treasury.

So this time, Ling Yunfeng did not believe that Wen Ying would steal all the top-grade immortal crystal stones and thousand-year spiritual herbs that the Ling family had accumulated for generations.

This is not in line with this woman's character.

After excluding the possibility of Wen Ying committing the crime, Ling Yunfeng began to focus his attention on Ling Zizhe.

Because Ling Yunfeng always felt that the current Ling Zizhe was a little strange.

The former Ling Zizhe always had a righteous and magnanimous appearance. Wherever he went, he would hold his head high, chest out, and smile.

But this time, when he saw Ling Zizhe again, Ling Yunfeng suddenly found that his son had changed, becoming like another person.

The former gentleman-like Ling Zizhe was gone, replaced by a stranger Ling Zizhe with shifty eyes, bowing and bending over, like a frightened rabbit.

Especially when he was beating Wen Ying just now, Ling Zizhe's ruthlessness even shocked Ling Yunfeng.

Ling Zizhe was utterly devastated, raised his palm and slapped his cheek fiercely, making a crisp and loud sound.

However, looking at all this, Ling Yunfeng's face became even more gloomy. A heart-stopping cold light flashed in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking!
