The Way of The Dao

"Well, changing the subject, you should know what was going on in the star city when you weren't there."

Those who were gathered were surprised when this time, they heard the same news but from Ling Tian.

"What really happened in the city?" Long Cheng asked seriously when this matter was brought up by this young man.

While it might be a trap on his part to set the great families in conflict, it could also be true. There were indications of hidden tyranny on the part of the Ming family.

Ling Tian looked at Long Cheng faintly, as if looking at another person. Ling Tian did not care that Long Cheng was the 'Lord of the City'. His former power and position was above races and myriads, so it would not be surprising if he did not give a face to the City Lord.

However, Ling Tian did not want to cause any conflict during his stay and responded: "The Ming family found a way to control large groups of demonic beasts, with the aim of attacking the star city and destroying the residences of the great families. Some time ago, they tried to attack the residence of the Tang family, as well as the others. That brat Ming Fen or whatever, tried to attack the Tang residence, so I ended up killing him. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to attack again."

Ling Tian spoke as if he were just telling a story with nothing to do with him.

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Tang Jingtian, Tang Wei, and Tang Nu were all concerned when they heard Ling Tian say that their family' residence had been attacked. Not only they, but the others were also concerned when they heard that their residences wanted to be attacked.

Observing their expressions, Ling Tian said: "Don't worry, your family is fine, they did not suffer any mishap. I took care of the situation."

Tang Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief as did his father and grandfather as well.

"And before they could wreak any more havoc, I took care of the other people who wanted to attack the other residences." Ling Tian spoke again when he saw that some people wanted to ask.

Long Cheng, Tang Wei, Zhang Chao, and Yun Dong breathed a sigh of relief to know that their homes were safe. There were still people from their families there.

Tang Wei took a few steps forward and bowed to Ling Tian: "Thank you very much! Not only for helping my wife and daughter to be safe, but also for discovering the poisoning and healing my wife!"

Ling Tian nodded sympathetically as he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I couldn't let Aunt Zhi suffer any longer. Besides, she's my sworn brother's mother."

Ling Tian turned to Tang Jingtian and nodded.

Tang Jingtian smiled gratefully and nodded anyway.

Tang Wei sighed with relief but still said: "I know I cannot afford this immense grace but, if there is anything you need, the Tang family will gladly comply with your request."

His wife's health, as well as the safety of her and his children, was the most important thing to Tang Wei.

Ling Tian nodded, expressing that it did not matter.

At this point, Zhang Xinya, who was still by Ling Tian's side, gently pulled his clothes as she bowed to him and said in a trembling voice: "Will you please cure my mother? I beg you!"

The moment Zhang Xinya learned that her sister Wanying's mother had been cured, she hoped that her mother would also recover. She did not know that Ling Tian had been the one who had healed Tang Wanying's mother, so now that she heard this from Tang Wei and Tang Jingtian, she quickly connected the dots and knew that it was Ling Tian who had healed Tang Zhi.

Zhang Chao walked quickly but this time unlike Tang Wei, he prostrated before Ling Tian while saying with an expectant voice: "Lord! If you can cure my wife, I will do everything you ask! I can even give you everything I have and become your servant! I beg you!"

Zhang Chao's cry and plea did not surprise the others much. They knew that Zhang Chao loved his wife and daughter very much, so in the matter of healing his wife, he might be willing to do anything.

Ling Tian didn't help Zhang Chao get up.

Hundreds and thousands of immortals had prostrated themselves before him for days and even months when he had become a true potency of the Immortal World for his help.

Observing Zhang Xinya's sad and hopeful look, Ling Tian let out a sigh and said: "All right, once we finish the current problem, I'll check on your wife's condition."

Zhang Chao felt a burden rise from him as he thanked Ling Tian. He was the last option for his wife to recover.

Zhang Xinya smiled happily as she heard Ling Tian promise this.

The atmosphere became a little less tense after all this.

Long Yuyin, Tang Jingtian, as well as Mu Shen, slowly regained their strength and were able to stand without any support for a while.

"If the Ming family failed in this and risked everyone knowing about it by attacking the city while we were away... wouldn't they do it again right now?" Long Cheng spoke as he went over everything Ling Tian had said so far.

If the Ming family was really doing this, then there was a chance they would try again!

"Then we must go back!" Tang Wei spoke quickly. He was worried about his family's safety: "'If the Ze family is also involved then it will be even worse!"

"Ming Xian is capable of doing anything to achieve his goals!" Yun Dong also added: "If he found out that the plan failed and was discovered, then he could try to take the city now that there is no martial artist or anyone in the high ranks!"

"Then we must return quickly now! It would take us at least an hour to reach the city with our maximum speed!" Zhang Chao spoke once he calmed down.

"Yes! Then we must return...!" Long Cheng didn't finish speaking when a heavy atmosphere covered them all.

Fwoosh

This was a very scary feeling, like someone was expelling all their hate.

Everyone turned to Ling Tian, who was creating this frightening atmosphere.

Yun Mengxin was surprised and knew something might have happened. Mu Shuiruo looked at Ling Tian with concern.

Ling Tian's eyes filled with killing intent as he turned to look in the direction of the star city. At once, he closed them.

Everyone could not help but feel a chill at this.

Taking a heavy breath, Ling Tian opened his eyes and turned to look at everyone.

His gaze was filled with intense murderous intent and a hint of concern.

Taking the hands of Yun Mengxin and Mu Shuiruo, Ling Tian said in a hurried voice, "Gather around me, I'll take you. Hurry! There's no time!"

Ling Tian shouted in some haste.

Seeing the urgency of his words, no one hesitated and they gathered around Ling Tian. Though no one knew what he intended to do, they did not ask.

At this point, two figures moved quickly and grabbed parts of Ling Tian's clothing.

They were Zhang Xinya and the other Long Yuyin, who could now move.

Although everyone was surprised at this, no one said anything and waited for what Ling Tian would do.

Ling Tian watched this and it didn't matter now.

Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down once everyone was close, while he expelled his own Immortal Chi and wrapped them all up, which was a total of 14 people.

Each one felt as if a breeze were wrapping their bodies, giving them the sensation of being wrapped in a cocoon.

A few seconds were enough for everyone to feel that they were starting to rise from the ground.

When they realized it, everyone was shocked.

They were flying!

At that moment, the group immediately disappeared from the scene.
