Furthermore, the Ling Xiao Empire's nemesis, the Earth Fiend Sect, was not going to let go of this opportunity. The spies planted within the Ling Xiao Empire were spreading rumors everywhere, assassinating those with a bit of status within the empire.

The robbers also became active...

In short, the Ling Xiao Empire could be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles. It was in the middle of a storm, and if they were not careful, the entire empire might be in danger of destruction.

No matter if it was the royal family or the Wen Yuan manor, they all had a rather unsightly expression when faced with this situation.

Under such a situation, the two families had surprisingly temporarily joined forces to block the strong enemy on the outside and take the opportunity to cause trouble on the inside.

However, there were some bandits that seemed to have vanished into thin air when the great army arrived. They'd come out again to stir up trouble after the great army had retreated.

Actually, it wasn't unexpected for the royal family and the Wen Yuan manor to temporarily join hands. The royal family was needless to say, the Wen Yuan manor had long regarded the Soaring Cloud Empire as their possession, so how could they allow others to interfere.

What they wanted was the complete Soaring Cloud Empire, even if the Ling Family was annihilated, it would not cause much damage to the Soaring Cloud Empire, and they wouldn't want to destroy it.

That was all later.

At the Marquis Mansion in Zhen Dong, Lin Quan had just received the news of Lin Zheng's personal bodyguard being killed, and was immediately furious like a cat stepping on its tail.

Just as Wen Shang had said, Lingyun did not suspect that it was someone else who planted the trap and thought it was the Marquis of Wen Yuan's house.

Without a second word, he asked the deputy general to gather all the private troops within the manor and ask for an explanation from the Wen Yuan manor. At the same time, he also asked the assistant general to bring his precious son back.

As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Lin Zheng, whose buttocks had been carried by the people of the Wen Yuan Manor, covered in blood and barely breathing.

He was even angrier now. How could he not know that his precious son had been caned.

First, he restrained his anger. When he carried Lin Zheng back to the house of the Marquis, his expression immediately became dangerous and his body exploded with killing intent.

With a single command, two thousand private soldiers surged out like the tide, surrounding the people Wen Jiang brought under the command of the Marquis of Wen Yuan's subordinate.

There was no nonsense, no explanation. Under Lin Quan's orders, the private troops of the Eastern Residence took action.

Although the people from the Wen Yuan manor did not want to make a move, the other side had already made their move. They did not have the slightest intention to show any mercy and were angry as well.

Then, the two sides began to fight on the main street in front of the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion had a small number of people, and this was the Marquis' Mansion, which had a large number of people.

It had only been a few minutes, but there were only a dozen or so people left. Under the leadership of a peak Martial King like Wen Jiang, all of them broke out of the encirclement.

As for Lin Quan, he was originally unreasonable to begin with. He was a lawless lord, and under the situation where his rage had almost drowned his rationality, he personally led his private troops to pursue and hit the Wen Yuan Marquis' manor.

Although the Wen Yuan manor was somewhat in the wrong and could still be considered a victim, when they saw that Lin Quan had aggressively brought the private troops to the door, more than a hundred of the people they had sent to escort him were also killed.

In order to ensure Lin Zheng's safety, they sent out all the elites of the house of the Marquis. Among the hundred or so people, other than Wen Jiang, a peak Martial King general, the rest were all martial masters.

In the end, not a single one was left alive by Lin Quan.

Private troops swarmed over like a tide from all directions, surrounding Lin Quan and the others. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, the guards of the three city gates that belonged to the royal family, the imperial guards and city guards that were in charge of the palace, also came from all directions and surrounded the private troops of the Wen Yuan Marquis Mansion. There were a few Martial Saints among them.

If they did not return to their own residences, they would destroy the two residences on the crime of disturbing the security of the capital for conspiracy to rebel.

He had almost caused the Wen Yuan Manor's popularity to go awry. Maintaining law and order?

F * ck, isn't this reason too grand!?

Why didn't the royal family appear during the great battle in front of the Marquis' Mansion? Why didn't they come out until now? Did they treat everyone else as fools?

At this moment, Lin Quan had already regained his rationality. Thinking of the foolish things he had done out of anger, cold sweat began to flow down his back.

Seeing the royal troops who had come to 'rescue', a look of gratitude appeared on his face. For a moment, his emotions were complicated and difficult to understand.

This was what a good person should be like!

He used to be blind and follow the wrong person.

In the end, the people from the Wen Yuan manor gritted their teeth and let the people from the Eastern manor leave.

The royal guards didn't want to start a war with the Marquis Mansion, so they came here to embarrass the mansion.

Seeing this, he immediately stopped. He then turned towards the Wen Yuan manor's people, who were gnashing their teeth in a provocative smile, and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Within the mansion, Wen Yuan and Marquis Wen Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood from the anger and fell to the ground.

The manor was in chaos.

Due to Lin Quan's impulsive actions today, the relationship between the two manors was completely at loggerheads and there was no room for manoeuvre.

To Ling Yun, this was an unexpected surprise.

At this moment, the main culprit behind this chaos, Ling Yun, the one who had slightly tilted the power between the Wen Yuan Marquis and the royal family, was currently visiting the Mo family.

Although he had no personal experience with the affairs of the outside world, he had also received information about what had happened from Cloud Mist Tower.

Just like the rumors, Mo Xiao was indeed severely injured, but after an entire morning of treatment, his face was as pale as paper, but he was not in any life threatening situation, just that he had lost too much blood and was still in a coma.

He was covered in a layer of ointment and wrapped in a white cloth, like a mummy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lingyun left the Mo Clan.

At this moment, he was a little excited, because he knew that Mo Xiao's caravan was carrying herbs.

Among them, the most precious one was the Pure Spirit Root, one of the seven medicinal herbs required by Ning Tianya to expel the demonic energy from his body.

He had already guessed who was the mastermind behind all these robbers.

In a remote courtyard within the War King's manor, two elders were drinking tea and playing chess.

One of the old men looked haggard. He was Ning Tianya.

The other was an old man dressed in a simple green robe. He had the face of a child and had the bearing of a fairy. His eyes gleamed and his face carried a gentle and calm smile, as if he would never be angry.

He was the Chief Refiner of the Battle King's Manor, Liu Xian.

It seemed like the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Brother Liu, did you notice that Lingyun brat seemed to have changed after he woke up from his injuries?" Ning Tianya hesitated for a moment before whispering.

"You noticed it too?"

Liu Xian looked up in surprise. His voice was light and gentle, "This time, when he woke up, I found that he did change a bit, although the change wasn't too great."

"Do you think he was possessed?" Ning Tianya asked worriedly.

"How is this possible?" Liu Xian laughed, "Don't forget that he has that clan's bloodline in him. Possession him? Hehe, it would be strange if his soul wasn't incinerated into nothingness and sent into reincarnation!

Also, I checked his mental space and confirmed that he's still him. "
