Sword Venerable Ling Tian

When Ling Tian brought a group of vulture down from the sky, all the waiting Ling Family people cheered.    

Ling Tian's descent was somewhat unexpected. At this time, all of the Ling Family s lit up their lamps, and like a holiday, the lamps lit up the entire mountain.    

It could be seen how happy they were from the bottom of their hearts at Ling Tian's return.    

What made Mu Tiezhu and the others at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry was that Ling Family had actually prepared a 'sumptuous' feast that was filled with flowing water.    

The hair on the head of the boar, the yellow deer, the brocade chicken, and all kinds of wild game in the mountains were cooked into delicious dishes. Together with the wine, firewood and rice, they filled dozens of tables.    

Although to the people of Ling Family, this was a luxury that only they could enjoy during the Chinese New Year, compared to the Ziyun Sect, even the food of the Outer sect's service disciples was much more sumptuous.    

Let alone an inner sect core disciple like Mu Tiezhu, other than those who use Pill s to fend off their cultivation, all of their food were low-levelled Demonic Beast s and spiritual valley s prepared by their sect, and those contained Primary Spirit Qi s.    

However, facing Ling Family's warm welcome, the crowd of Violet Cloud Sect Disciple s all sat down happily. After all, Ling Tian was still here, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.    

"Heh, this wild boar meat is way too fragrant!"    

Suddenly, Mu Tiedan who was hungry already picked up a wild boar's elbow and took a bite. He could not help but exclaim in shock, after which he started to gobble down the food, the other disciples who heard him also tried the dishes on the table, their eyes lighting up.    

Ling Tian sat together with Elder Chu and Mu Tiezhu at the main seat. Ling Wanli brought Ling Yun and the beautiful girl who held the dagger with him to his left and right to accompany him.    

"Old Patriarch Ling, this old man has been in the Nine Regions for many years. I must say, this is the first time I've tasted such delicious chicken brocade. May I know if it's cooked with someone?" The Elder Chu laughed.    

"Hehe, it's good that Brother Chu likes it, these dishes were all prepared by Xiao'er and her family, she is the lass with the best culinary skills in our Ling Family!" Ling Wanli smiled as he looked at the little girl beside him, full of affection.    

"Thank you for your praise, Elder Chu. Xiao'er's cooking methods are all unsightly." Ling Xiaoer blushed a little.    

"No, no. This taste is hard to come by, there's no need for Miss Xiao'er to be modest about it!"    

Ling Tian also laughed, "Since all the fine wine and delicious dishes are here, why not just open your mouth and eat today!"    

Mu Tiezhu clapped his hands: "Ten seconds!"    

The banquet guests were all happy as the Violet Cloud Sect Disciple was arranged to rest.    

As for Ling Tian, he was listening to's introduction to these thirteen years, inside Ling Wanli's room.    

"So you're saying, for the past ten years, the Ling Family has been relying on this mine to survive?"    

"That's right, the main task is mining, while the young girls are responsible for farming."    

Ling Tian frowned. Ling Family's predicament was far beyond his imagination.    

Currently, the Ling Family has a population of nearly five hundred. In the Xiao Feng Zhen, it can only be considered as the little Village.    

The mountain range that fed the entire Ling Family was actually the barren looking mountain range at the back. According to Ling Wanli, a Maps was passed down in the Ling Family, and the painting on it was this mountain, and in the past, when they escaped from the war, when the disciples of the Ling Family came here, they did carve out a few spirit stones, but their production was not high, and when the crude ore was sold into the town, they were barely able to keep the people of the village from starving.    

However, such a mine was still being cared for.    

And it was precisely because of this that Ling Yun was set up by someone.    

"Ling Yun, you're saying that the lithological assembly from two days ago was organized by the Yunding Merchant Shop?" Ling Tian suddenly looked at Ling Yun and asked.    

Every word and gesture of the current Ling Tian, all carried an extraordinary aura that was different from the masses, causing Ling Yun to feel apprehensive.    

"That's right, 90% of our Xiao Feng Zhen's clans live off of mines, and the Li Family possesses the most mines, so we also have the best mines. And the biggest buyer, was the Yunding Merchant Shop. After all these years, every family was actually unable to make ends meet and could afford to borrow from the Yunding Merchant Shop to support their livelihood, so he was the biggest creditor. "    

Ling Yun pursed his lips, and said slowly, his fists clenched tightly, "But, just a few days ago, Yunding Merchant Shop suddenly used the name of urging us to participate in the so-called lithological assembly, saying that we can bet ores, and then calculate our debts. If we can win the bet, then we can cancel the corresponding debt."    

"I... Originally, our Ling Family did not owe much, but... "But they actually ?"    

After saying that, Ling Yun suddenly became agitated, he stuttered, and was still affected by Ling Tian's imposing manner, he then blurted out: "They have their eyes on Tan Birou!"    

"Tan Family owes the most debt, so they can only bite the bullet and gamble. However, gambling with the mine isn't that easy. "I'll ?"    

"Hmph, just because you're so capable, you can still bet with others!"    

Just then, Ling Wanli suddenly slammed the table and said: "This is obviously his Yunding Merchant Shop's scheme! "You still want to be the first, I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"    

"Grandpa ?" Ling Yun bit his lips.    

"Wait, you're talking about someone who has their eyes on Tan Family, but that Li Family?" Ling Tian asked again.    

"That's right!" Even if it is the Li Family, for so many years, the Li Family had a close relationship with the Cloud Peak, and the Essence Stone that were provided through this bet are all from the Li Family. Hmph, the Li Family's method of appraising stones is much more powerful than ours, it would be weird if we can win! " Ling Wanli snorted angrily.    

"So that's how it is. I understand now ?"    

At this point, Ling Tian finally understood.    

The goal of the Li Family was definitely not just for the Tan Birou of the Tan Family. Thinking about it, she wanted to annex all of the mines in the Xiao Feng Zhen, just that it was unexpected for the Yunding Merchant Shop to be involved in this.    

"Ling Yun, it's not your fault if you stand up for your close female friend. But everything must not be impulsive. The entire Ling Family is on your shoulders! "    

Ling Yun lowered his head, looking very lonely and helpless, "Ling Yun knows his wrongs ?"    

"You're not wrong, you just don't have the strength. "But luckily, you still have the courage. I really admire you ?" Ling Tian didn't forget to encourage his.    

"Patriarch!" Oh no, the Yunding Merchant Shop has sent someone over again, they said that the day of collection is tomorrow, and told us to bring the money there! "    

Just then, a man from Ling Family ran over and shouted outside the window.    

"What!?" They were going to collect their debts tomorrow, had Yunding Merchant Shop gone mad! Where are we going to get any money! "    

Ling Wanli frowned. Although Ling Tian had returned with the brocade, he was too embarrassed to speak.    

"Grandfather, this matter arose because of me. Tomorrow, I will go to the Cloud Peak. I will think of a way to repay this money!" Ling Yun suddenly raised his head, and said resolutely.    

Ling Tian stood up, patted Ling Yun's shoulders and laughed: "Well said!"    

"Tomorrow, I'll go with you."    

"I want to see what this Yunding Merchant Shop can do to my Ling Family ?"
