On a road leading to Lingjia Villa, two beautiful women rode their horses towards Lingjia Villa.
The girl in front, about twenty years old, was wearing a black outfit that fit her seductive curves tightly, outlining an intoxicating beauty that would drive almost any man crazy.
Looking up, I saw that the girl had an absolutely beautiful face. Her snow-white and flawless face was impeccable, her long black hair fell to her waist like willows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, she had a noble temperament, and a heroic and cool appearance.
At her waist, two red daggers were hung crosswise, with white light flashing on the blades. Obviously, this was an unusual weapon!
Liu Yuan, a core disciple of Qingcheng Pavilion, one of the seven major sects in the Tang Dynasty, is extremely talented. At the age of only twenty, he has already entered the second level of the True Spirit Secret Realm!
She is regarded as the hope for the rise of the Imperial City Liu Family and the brightest new star of this generation of the Imperial City Liu Family. Even in a place like the Imperial City where geniuses abound, she is one of the most famous young masters.
Although the woman behind was also beautiful, she was far inferior to the woman in black in front.
"Senior Sister Liu, do you think we will run into Mo Fengming when we go to Ling Family Villa this time?"
The woman behind seemed to be fantasizing about something while asking Liu Yuan, with a faint blush on her face.
This woman, named Xin Yueya, is at the first level of the True Spirit Secret Realm and is equally powerful. She is Liu Yuan’s junior sister.
"Don't think about Mo Fengming all day long."
Liu Yuan smiled faintly: "He is very busy, how can he have the time to come to Ling Family Villa now? The ancient Mongolian country in the north has invaded our Great Tang country again. Nine young masters like him have long been selected by the royal family to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."
"So, this time, no one can compete with you for the Taiyin fragment of Ling Family Villa?"
Xin Yueya's eyes lit up: "Among the young generation today, apart from the nine young masters of the Tang Dynasty, you can be said to be the strongest!"
"That's hard to say."
Liu Yuan shook her head: "There are many people with extraordinary talents in this world. Even I am nothing in the entire Tianyu Continent. I must not be proud and complacent."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Xin Yueya pouted and said impatiently, then suddenly thought of something and rolled her eyes: "By the way, Senior Sister, I heard that you have a cousin in Hanbingmen, named Feng Yao?"
"Um?"
Liu Yuan's beautiful eyes sparkled.
"I heard that Feng Yao has been slandering you in Hanbing Sect!"
Xin Yueya said bitterly, "I knew a disciple from the Ice Gate before. I asked him if he knew Senior Sister Liu Yuan. He looked surprised and actually said, 'Is she the arrogant and overbearing talented girl from the Liu family?' I was really pissed off!"
Arrogant and domineering, these two words cannot be connected with the current Liu Yuan in any way!
It is obvious that someone in the Hanbing Sect is maliciously slandering Liu Yuan.
Hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That was when I was a kid. I did bully Feng Yao. But later, I apologized to her several times. It's a pity that this girl never appreciated it."
"Senior sister, she slandered you so much, and you still apologized to her? You are too kind!"
Xin Yueya was a little confused.
"After all, I was the one who bullied her first when we were little. It's okay to apologize."
Liu Yuan smiled indifferently: "However, this girl has always been targeting me and wants to surpass me."
"Tsk, you're dreaming about surpassing my senior sister."
Xin Yueya giggled: "By the way, Senior Sister, last time Major General Long invited you to enjoy the flowers, why didn't you go? This guy obviously wants to pursue you!"
"I'm not the only one he invited."
Liu Yuan frowned slightly, seeming to be somewhat disgusted with the "Major General Long": "I don't like him."
"oh."
Xin Yueya stuck out her tongue, but was thinking in her heart that Senior Sister Liu Yuan was truly different and extraordinary.
Major General Long is the legitimate son of the Long family, a clan of generals in the Tang Dynasty. If he can gain his favor, he will be very successful in the future, and even the entire Liu family will rise with him!
There must be tens of thousands of girls in the entire imperial city who want to seduce Major General Long!
"I never thought that even Senior Sister Liu Yuan looked down upon Major General Long and bluntly said that she didn't like him. I wonder what kind of man would be able to catch Senior Sister Liu Yuan's eye?"
Xin Yueya thought as she followed Liu Yuan on horseback.
The mineral vein belonging to Lingjia Villa soon appeared in front of them.
It was an endless series of mountains, but the entire mountain range was filled with a gloomy aura, and even trees could not grow.
The entire mountain range is covered with gray-white rocks, without even a speck of green!
Ling Family Villa is located in the center of this circular mountain range. It manages the entire mountain range for the Tang Dynasty royal family and produces various Yin-attribute minerals.
These ores or metals can all be used to refine combat weapons. The most important thing is that they are used by the royal family to forge spearmen and distributed to soldiers in some martial arts corps.
Ling Family Villa is such a remote place, full of gloomy energy!
…
Long Yu rode his horse alone and finally arrived at Ling Family Villa on the third day after his departure.
After entering the circular mountain range, Long Yu clearly felt a wave of yin energy invading him. If an ordinary person lived in such a place for a long time, his life span would probably be shortened a lot!
"Fortunately, the Nine Nether Qi can offset these Yin Qi, so that it will not have any effect on my body..."
Long Yu thought as he moved forward.
At the foot of the mountain, a continuous group of buildings appeared in front of him. This was the Ling Family Villa. Although it was called a villa, it was actually as big as a city.
The miners from the Tang Dynasty all live in this villa and are under the jurisdiction of the Ling family.
"It's bigger than Yuguan City!"
Long Yu rode into the building complex and at a casual glance he saw many miners loading Yin-attribute ores and metals onto carriages. Cart after cart of minerals were sent out of the villa and escorted to the imperial city.
The bodies of each of these miners have been corroded by Yin Qi. Although it has no normal effect on them, it will definitely shorten the lifespan of each of them by ten or even twenty years!
"I never thought that there is such a place in the Tang Dynasty."
Long Yu frowned slightly and rode his horse towards the center of the building complex.
In the letter Ling Han sent him, he said that he would wait for him at the Ling Family Mansion and asked him to go directly to the Ling Family Mansion when he arrived.
Along the way, Long Yu saw many martial artists from the Tang Dynasty Army patrolling and supervising the Ling Family Villa. These martial artists not only supervised the miners, but also monitored every move of the Ling Family.
This is the power of the Tang Dynasty royal family. In the Tang Dynasty, the power of the royal family has always occupied a dominant position!
"I wonder how Ling Han is doing."
Long Yu quickly rode his horse to the Ling family mansion in the center of the villa and dismounted.
He looked up and saw that the Ling family mansion was larger than the Feng family mansion in Yuguan City. The walls of the entire building were very thick, probably to block as much invasion of Yin energy as possible.
At the gate of the Ling family mansion, there were two martial artists standing there chatting. When they saw Long Yu dismounting from his horse, they both looked towards him.
"Ninth level of martial arts!"
As soon as the two saw Long Yu's cultivation level, their originally leisurely expressions immediately changed and they hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Sir, are you here at Ling Family Villa to look for someone?"
One of them asked nervously.
The two gatekeepers of the Ling family mansion only have the cultivation level of the fourth and fifth levels of martial arts. How could they not be nervous when they saw a strong man of the ninth level of martial arts coming
"Is Ling Han here?"
Long Yu asked casually.
“Ling Han?”
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
“Yes, yes, yes, sir, please come in. I will take you to find Ling Han.”
One of them spoke cautiously and then made an inviting gesture.
Long Yu nodded and followed him into the Ling family mansion.
"Ling Han, how is he doing in the Ling family?"
Long Yu thought about it and asked this question deliberately, because he noticed that when he said the name "Ling Han", the expressions of the two gatekeepers seemed a little strange.
"Oh, he is the son of the previous head of the Ling family, but the previous head has been dead for more than ten years."
The man led the way while cautiously asking, "Sir, what is your relationship with Ling Han..."
Obviously, he didn't know Long Yu's identity and didn't dare to speak carelessly.
"I am Ling Han's good friend."
Long Yu said.
"I see."
The man was obviously relieved, and his tone became more natural: "Young Master Ling Han has not had a good life in the Ling family over the years. After the previous head of the family died, the new head of the family always deliberately suppressed him and his sister, forcing him to leave the Ling Family Villa and take his sister to join the Zhentian Sect!"
younger sister
When Long Yu heard this, he was a little surprised. He had never heard that Ling Han had a younger sister.
"Not long ago, Master Ling Han returned to the villa, but he could only live in the side yard with his sister. I will take you to find him now."
The man said, "It's strange to say, you are the third person who came to see Master Ling Han today."
The third one
Long Yu didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, could it be Yang Tiancuo and Duanmu Conglong
Soon, Long Yu followed that person and came to a remote side yard of the Ling family mansion!
This side yard was located in the corner of the Ling family mansion. Logically, it should be where servants lived. However, now, Ling Han could only live in this remote side yard with his sister!
As soon as Long Yu saw the environment of this side yard, he knew that Ling Han must be having a hard time in Ling Family Villa.
However, even so, Ling Han still insisted on practicing Taibai Haoqi in an attempt to dispel the negative energy in the entire Ling family mansion. It can be seen that he still attaches great importance to the entire Ling family.
"Sir, please come in. Young Master Ling Han is inside. I will take my leave first!"
The man came to the door of the side yard, said this, and turned and left.
Long Yu stepped into the side yard and looked towards the hall in the side yard. As expected, he saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall. Although the environment was simple, everyone was quite harmonious!
"Ling Han, Lu Guanming."
Long Yu saw two acquaintances at a glance, as well as another young man and a young girl, but not Yang Tiancuo and Duanmu Conglong.
He stepped into the hall with a smile and immediately attracted the attention of the four people in the hall!
