Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“What do you mean by this?”

Hearing this provocative remark, Ling Yunfeng's gaze instantly turned icy cold, and he nodded slightly to a member of the Ling family beside him.

That family member understood and quickly ran off.

Snake Wind, as if he hadn't noticed any of this, grinned and said, "When we came, our master said that if your Ling family knows what's good for you, then he, in his 'benevolence,' will reluctantly agree to spare your Ling family a path to survival, but you must be eternally loyal to the Demon God Sect and become servants of our master. But if not…"

Snake Wind's expression suddenly darkened, and a red light flickering with coldness burst out from his tiny snake eyes, as he said in a chilling voice: "Otherwise, your Ling family will be exterminated from this day forth, leaving not a single dog or chicken alive!"

After the Demon God Sect occupied a certain amount of territory in the western part of Qian Yuan Continent, they were eager to advance eastward, but unfortunately, the human cultivators came to their senses and formed an alliance, constantly suppressing the Demon God Sect, making it impossible for them to start.

The Dongli City where the Ling family is located happens to be in the middle of the Demon God Sect's and human cultivators' territories. If they can use this as an excuse to create trouble, then the Demon God Sect can justifiably march into the east.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is why the Demon God Sect is so concerned about this matter.

Otherwise, based solely on a small Wen Ying, it wouldn't be worth the Demon God Sect mobilizing so many people!

To put it bluntly, this is no longer just a matter of grievances between the Demon God Sect and the Ling family. The Ling family is not worthy of such importance from the Demon God Sect; they are just being used as a pawn in the Demon God Sect's eastward advance.

Logically speaking, a pawn should have the awareness of a pawn and must never try to fight a stone with an egg.

Unfortunately, Ling Yunfeng and the Ling family, up and down, have not realized that they have been drawn into a shocking conspiracy. They still foolishly believe that the Demon God Sect is simply here to make trouble.

Holding the idea of not insulting the ancestral heritage, Ling Yunfeng, of course, chose to fight to the death.

"Hmph, you are just lowly demonic beasts, yet you dare to offend my Ling family. You are simply courting death! I don't care who the 'master' you speak of is, but wanting our Ling family to become slaves to your lowly beasts is just a daydream!" Ling Yunfeng said with a cold expression, his voice like rolling thunder, completely rejecting Snake Wind's proposal.

Just then, the Ling family member from before returned, carrying in his arms a sword about seven feet long, as crystal-like as a whole. It was none other than the Ling family's treasure, the Twilight Spirit Sword.

After jogging to Ling Yunfeng's front, he held it out with both hands, respectfully handing the Twilight Spirit Sword to Ling Yunfeng.

Ling Yunfeng grabbed the Twilight Spirit Sword, and with a flick of his hand, a colorful light immediately sprinkled from the sword's body.

These colorful lights, like living beings, gathered in the air as soon as they appeared, forming a dazzling cloud of mist that surrounded Ling Yunfeng. Although the night was dark, it still couldn't hide the sword's brilliance!

"Oh, so the Ling family head's intention is to fight our Demon God Sect to the end?"

After taking a faint glance at Ling Yunfeng and the Twilight Spirit Sword in his hand, Snake Wind didn't show much fear, but instead, his eyes flickered with a faint mockery.

"The Ling family was founded by generations of ancestors and has been passed down for more than a thousand years. It must not be destroyed in my hands, or what face will I have to meet the ancestors of the Ling family! Demonic beast, stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight! I vow to coexist with the Ling family!"

Ling Yunfeng's expression was firm, and the radiance on the Twilight Spirit Sword appeared even more dazzling in his hand.

"We also vow to coexist with the Ling family!"

At this time, all the Ling family members had arrived, standing behind Ling Yunfeng, shouting as if making an oath.

Ling Zizhe was also mixed in, but his body trembled even more violently. Although he also shouted this sentence, his tone was so weak that he didn't have the slightest bit of momentum.

Seeing the Ling family's momentum, Demon Wind was a little surprised.

He originally thought that a small Ling family, after hearing the Demon God Sect's prestige, would definitely be trembling with fear and then take the initiative to surrender.

But now it seems that this matter is a bit complicated.

Of course, for Demon Wind, it was just 'a bit' after all, because he was still very confident that he could defeat the Ling family in one fell swoop.

In fact, Ling Yunfeng dared to resist the Demon God Sect naturally because he had his confidence.

After Wen Ying sneaked into the Ling family and stole the Twilight Spirit Sword, Ling Yunfeng realized that the Demon God Sect's power was overwhelming, and it would be difficult for them to resist with the strength of their Ling family alone.

This time, Ling Yunfeng went out for such a long time, ostensibly to retrieve the Twilight Spirit Sword and Ling Zizhe, but secretly, Ling Yunfeng did something big.

He secretly visited several large cultivation sects near Dongli City and proposed an alliance to them.

Because Dongli City is located in the middle of the Demon God Sect's and human cultivators' territories, it is a bridgehead for human cultivators to resist the Demon God Sect's invasion. Therefore, Ling Yunfeng's proposal was quickly valued by these large sects.

After a short period of deliberation, they quickly accepted Ling Yunfeng's proposed alliance and agreed that once the Ling family was invaded by the Demon God Sect, they would rush to support them.

However…

Looking at Ling Zizhe, who was still trembling not far away, Ling Yunfeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He originally had high hopes for Ling Zizhe, carefully cultivating him, and even regarded him as the only candidate for the next head of the Ling family.

Otherwise, based on the disaster he had just caused, Ling Yunfeng would not have helped him to hide it together, and at the same time promised him to kill Wen Ying as a scapegoat.

However, now, after seeing Ling Zizhe's cowardly performance, Ling Yunfeng began to reflect in his heart. Is this Ling Zizhe really suitable to bear the responsibility of the Ling family head? Will the Ling family be destroyed in Ling Zizhe's hands after Ling Yunfeng's death in a hundred years?

Thinking of this, Ling Yunfeng was a little shaken.

In fact, Ling Zizhe is not necessarily the only heir to the Ling family. Ling Yunfeng's third son, born to him and his concubine, although still young, has already broken through to the Spirit 引ling Period. In terms of talent, he is not inferior to Ling Zizhe.

At this moment, Ling Yunfeng's trust in Ling Zizhe began to have a trace of doubt.

In the crowd, Ling Zizhe had actually been paying close attention to Ling Yunfeng. And the trace of distrust projected from his gaze was also very sensitively captured by Ling Zizhe.

This made Ling Zizhe even more anxious.

However, very quickly, Ling Zizhe seemed to have made up his mind, and a hint of ice-coldness appeared from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Zizhe felt that he couldn't just sit still and wait for death!
