The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian looked at the man who locked him up with his own aura. His icy cold stare began to frighten the man. However, Ling Tian did not move for now, wanting to see what Na Shun was saying.

"Patriarch Na! What does this mean?!"

Long Cheng yelled furiously as he watched this. Yun Dong, Tang Wei and Zhang Chao also looked furiously at Na Shun.

Na Shun sighed sadly and said: "Lord of the City, I hope you can understand that my Na family is one of the strongest aristocratic families and with those elixirs we could become the next great family, thus helping the city a lot, don't you think so?" He stared at Long Cheng without caring about his angry look.

"But does that mean doing this kind of despicable act?!" Still, Long Cheng refuted and looked at the man next to him: "Stop right now or you'll be regret it!"

Long Cheng was worried about Ling Tian. Not because Ling Tian was weak, but because he could kill that man without hesitation! Worrying the other people present.

They couldn't do anything because they had discarded their inner strength to practice cultivation, so their cultivation levels were still weak and they couldn't do anything.

Na Shun shook his head while watching Long Cheng, Tang Wei, Yun Dong, and Zhang Chao: "It seems that the rumors about you are true." He then looked at the other families.

"Other patriarchs and ancestors." Na Shun walked a little far from his seat and positioned himself more in the center: "The Lord of the City and the patriarchs of the great families have lost their inner strength, therefore, they are now weak and are not fit to be the defending pillars of the Star City."

The rest of people were astonished by this fact.

Were the rumors true?

Had they lost their strength?

Everyone began to see Long Cheng, Tang Wei, Zhang Chao and Yun Dong, wanting answers from themselves.

However, they remained silent, staring at Na Shun and leaving others a little disappointed to think that the rumors were true.

"Lord of the City, no, Patriarch Long, you are no longer fit to lead the Star City, you should retire and let someone else take your place." Na Shun spoke seriously as he looked at Long Cheng.

"Patriarch Na, that is disrespectful of you. The Lord of the City has defended the city since it began, so we should respect him and not do this kind of despicable act." Rong Dai spoke, wanting to avoid a conflict: "Maybe they are hurt and with a little time they can recover again. It is not necessary to come to these unnecessary problems where we must remain united to continue fighting the demonic beasts."

Some people from the other families agreed with Rong Dai's statement, saying that such problems should not be created. Other people decided to keep quiet and not say anything, taking no sides anywhere.

"Patriarch Na, whether we have lost our inner strength or not, does not mean that our families have also become weak." Yun Dong spoke in an annoying tone: "If it bothers you that I am weak, I can make my daughter the head of the Yun family. She is in Legend rank, so there shouldn't be a problem, should there?"

"I can even give her my position as Lord of the City if you have a problem." Long Cheng spoke at once, shocking everyone else.

Everyone opened their eyes in surprise as they remembered Yun Mengxin.

Of course!

She with her power in the Legend rank would have no problem leading even the Star City as its new Lady of the City!

Na Shu gritted his teeth in fury at this. He had forgotten Yun Mengxin and other factors, as well as Zhang Xinya with her strength in Emperor rank!

After all the Legend rank was powerful and the citizens would prefer Yun Mengxin for her strength.

Yun Dong, Long Cheng, Zhang Chao and Tang Wei did not mind leaving their positions and making their descendants the heads of their families.

They would go with Ling Tian to a new world, so they did not mind losing their ranks and status, as long as the families affiliated with them and the people close to them were fine and there were no problems in the future.

"Besides, don't you think it's stupid of you to do something like that to the master alchemist who has the decision to make or not make the elixirs in order to make you all stronger?" Tang Wei mocked Na Shun.

"Right, you must be such an idiot to do this, don't you think he could refuse to do the elixirs? If he did that, not only you but everyone here would lose out." Zhang Chao added right away, telling him that Ling Tian could refuse and in the end they would end up losing.

Na Shun clenched his teeth more fiercely. What they said was true, spiritual elixirs were very difficult to make!

Even the famous Master Gi could only make a successful spiritual elixir after many failed attempts...

Na Shun was angry because his Na family was the only aristocratic family that would not receive any elixir, which led to this result.

"Have you finished talking?"

A voice devoid of emotion was clearly heard in the midst of them all.

At once, they realized that the unknown master alchemist looked at them all with clear indifference, unperturbed by the aura of the man who was enclosing him.

"Uncle Cheng, why bother with these idiots?" Ling Tian looked at Long Cheng as he pointed at Na Shu and those near them: "I mentioned that I would help the Star City and that means everyone in it. The so-called aristocratic families are not the whole city, the other families, commoners, nobles or not, are also people."

Long Cheng understood this instantly and felt stupid not to involve all the families as well.

"Your Na family will get nothing. If you want to receive something, you must give something too. Your stupid arrogant behavior did this and... the others who said nothing will also receive nothing." Ling Tian mentioned the Na family, as well as all those others who didn't say anything when they were arguing: "I really don't care about all of you, if you keep arguing over stupid problems like this, it would be better to give the elixirs to those low status families that you despise and not give anything to you."

He doesn't give a damn whether he helps these strangers or not, but Ling Tian was doing it for his own family, so they would have peace of mind. He was only doing it for them.

If it were up to him, Ling Tian was sure he would let the Star City be completely destroyed by the demonic beasts...

The families who spoke for Long Cheng were grateful for having spoken earlier, while the others who did not take sides felt unpleasant and upset. However, in the end, after listening well to what Ling Tian said, they began to believe better that it would be better to cooperate with each other.

"You...!" Na Shun became much more angry with Ling Tian, wanting to take it out on him and pour out his fury on him.

Ling Tian looked weakly at Na and said, "If you don't want to have your Na family go through the same thing as Ju's family, scram!"

Saying that, Ling Tian expelled some of his power and made that man in King rank, Na Shun and Na Shin, fall to their knees as they could not resist the pressure. They spat out some blood, while their inner organs were being crushed.

In the end, they were left lying on the ground in a pitiful state.

The others were stunned by this.

He was a powerful Emperor rank?!

He could be... a Legend rank!

However, hearing about the Ju family, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill too.

The family Ju was killed completely without alerting anyone!

Fear crept into their bodies as they thought about what really happened to the Ju family.

Everyone gave birth to the thought that this young man might have had something to do with what happened to the Ju family.

Even Long Cheng and the patriarchs of the great families opened their eyes in shock when Ling Tian himself confirmed this event.

"Uncle Cheng." Ling Tian approached Long Cheng and said, "I left some elixirs with the caretakers outside and they took it to the vault." Then, he left and went out of the main hall.

Long Cheng nodded gratefully and then ordered several men to come in and get all the heads of each family in Star City.

Ling Tian had made several elixirs when the others were cultivating, and he was the only one who was not cultivating.

Making those elixirs was very easy for him.

Ling Tian left and went to the Zhang residence.
