580 Chapter 580-to cut the grass, you must remove the roots

~~

the eldest and the second are just hedonistic sons of rich families. It’s easier to deal with them. However, their parents are cruel and merciless. If the great snow Emperor doesn’t arrive in time, I’m afraid that Ling Yu will be in trouble. Ling Yu’s parents died in their hands.

“Lingyu’s parents died in their hands? Why haven’t I heard Lingyu mention it before?” Ye chen was slightly stunned. So, Ling Yu’s parents were also victims of the clan’s power struggle.

“Lingyu has never told anyone about his parents. Although he has hidden it very well, I can still feel his hatred for the Ling family. There were a few times when I found Lingyu crying in front of his parents ‘tombstones. He wanted to be the head of the Ling family, but in reality, he wanted to avenge his parents. He thought he had no hope for the rest of his life, until big brother ye chen appeared.” A cold glint flashed in Amami’s eyes. if there’s a chance, Ling Yu will definitely kill those people without hesitation!

Scenes flashed through ye Chen’s mind. Ling Yu’s dream of becoming the patriarch of the Ling family, the Emperor of the Zi Hua divine dynasty, and so on were just self-deprecation in reality. His true goal was to take revenge! It was just that he couldn’t say that kind of thing out loud, so Ling Yu kept it to himself.

Zi Hua divine dynasty’s Imperial City, Ling family mansion.

The mountains to the East of the Imperial City stretched for hundreds of kilometers. Clouds and mist surrounded the mountains, and Springs and waterfalls decorated the mountains with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It was a beautiful sight, and all kinds of exquisite and luxurious buildings were faintly visible. It was like a paradise on earth.

From the Ling family’s front door to the living room at the front, they had to walk through a beautifully decorated path, which took more than half an hour.

The Ling clan’s law enforcement Hall was located in the Back Mountain area. On the square in front of the law enforcement Hall, more than 2000 people had gathered. They were all members of the Ling clan’s main clan.

The Ling family’s patriarch, Ling xiongjie, sat high up on the armchair in front. His figure was robust and gave off an awe-inspiring aura without being angry. He was already a tenth level Dao profound expert. Law enforcement elder Ling Gong and the others sat on either side of him.

Not far from Ling Xiong Jie, there were three chairs. Two of them were young men. They were both wearing brocade and Jade robes and looked handsome. However, there was a trace of maliciousness in their eyes. At this time, they were looking at Ling Yu, who was being detained in the square, and the corners of their mouths curled into a cold smile.

The third chair next to them was empty. This seat was supposed to be Ling Yu’s, but he had become a prisoner.

These two young men were called Ling Cheng and Ling Xu. They were the first and second in line to the Ling family’s inheritance.

When they saw Ling Yu’s sorry state, they were all smug. After today’s trial, Ling Yu would no longer be a threat to them.

In the middle of the Plaza, Ling Yu was being held in custody by two Dao profound realm martial artists. His face was pale, his hair disheveled, his clothes torn and tattered, and the wound on one of his broken arms was exposed outside, appearing extremely miserable.

The 2,000 or so members of the Ling family all had different expressions on their faces. Some were gloating, but more than 90% of them had a look of sympathy on their faces. As members of the Ling family, they had watched Ling Yu grow up. They knew very well what had happened in the past.

After Ling Yu’s parents had died mysteriously, Ling Yu had completely lost his power in the Ling family. If not for the snow Emperor’s protection, who knew what he would have become. Ling Yu was forced to leave the Imperial City and go to a small place like the sacred city of misty cloud. He wanted to avoid trouble, but they were confused. Since Ling Yu had gone to the sacred city of misty cloud, why did he make such a huge mistake?

Could there be some unspeakable reason in between?

More than 90% of the Ling family members could see it clearly. The eldest and second had always wanted to kill Ling Yu. However, they couldn’t say much about this matter. Ling Cheng and Ling Xu each represented a force in the Ling family and held great power in the Ling family. Ling Cheng’s father was the current patriarch, Ling Xiong Jie.

“Lingyu, do you know your crime?” Ling xiongjie shouted with a gloomy face.

“I’m not guilty!” Ling Yu stood proudly. Even though his divine sea had exploded, he still straightened his back and did not cower.

“You’ve committed such a grave mistake, yet you still dare to quibble!” Ling xiongjie looked at Ling Yu coldly.

Lingyu, you almost killed Emperor Lin’s disciple with a single word and even plotted to seize his property. You’ve caused an extremely negative impact on our Ling family, and Emperor Lin has even personally come to our Ling family to question you. Lingyu, do you still not admit your mistake? ” Ling Gong’s beard trembled as he scolded.

“Even if I had plotted to seize Yi Yan’s assets, what evidence do you have to prove that I wanted to kill Yi Yan? Even if you have evidence to prove that I wanted to kill Yi Yan, what evidence do you have to prove that this matter wasn’t started by a single word? just based on a single word, do you want to punish the Ling clan?” Ling Yu looked straight at Ling Xiong Jie and sneered, ” you’re such a coward as the head of the Ling family. You can’t even protect a member of the Ling family. Because of an outsider’s words, you want to punish a member of the Ling family and compensate ten billion Shadow Gold? With such a family head, the Ling family will definitely become a laughing stock in the future!”

Upon hearing Ling Yu’s words, the members of the Ling clan below immediately broke out into a discussion. Ling Yu’s words were not without reason. After all, there was no evidence at the moment that could prove that Ling Yu wanted to kill Yi Yan. Even if it was proven, the cause of the incident had not been investigated clearly. Everything was just a one-sided statement. The Ling clan head and the law enforcement Hall had actually rashly convicted Ling Yu.

In their hearts, Ling Yu had always been a cautious person. Now, he was no longer as timid as before. He even dared to talk back to Ling xiongjie in front of everyone, which surprised everyone.

“Impudent!” Ling Xiong Jie’s face was ashen as he roared in anger. As the head of the Ling family, he had always been in a high position and had great authority. When had he ever been humiliated by a junior like Ling Yu? Especially in a clan meeting like this!

“Lingyu, you still dare to be so arrogant even at this point. Do you think my Ling family’s rules don’t exist?” Ling Gong’s voice was also stern.

“Don’t think that you can scare me with the Family Law. Ling Xiong Jie, you still have the final say in the family Law. As for Ling Gong, he’s just one of your lackeys.” Ling Yu laughed coldly in disdain. I know how you guys want to deal with me. However, as the head of the family, you have to first make everyone in the Ling family submit. First, show us the evidence!

Hearing Ling Yu’s words, Ling Gong was about to explode in anger.

“Do you think I can’t do anything to you without evidence?” Ling xiongjie snorted angrily, ” all the elders of the law enforcement Hall are here. You’re breaking the Family Law by being so arrogant!

that’s right, the third clause of Article 71 of the Family Law states that anyone who disregards the family head or law enforcement elders will be fined three years of the family’s salary, up to ten years, two billion taels of Shadow Gold, and expelled from the Ling family! Ling Yu laughed out loud. if you want to punish me, then punish me. I accept this.

what the f * ck! Ling Xiong Jie pointed at Ling Yu. He was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. Ling Yu was like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water.

Ling xiongjie, I know the rules better than you do. I can recite the 3200 rules to you now! Ling Yu said coldly. Although he was a little anxious as to why his uncle wasn’t here yet, he still used his eloquence to delay the time.

“Lingyu, I don’t believe I can’t deal with you! You offended Emperor Lin and almost caused our Ling family to suffer a huge loss. You even plotted to take Yi Yan’s assets. Do you admit to this? Now, I’m punishing you to return Yi Yan’s assets to him and compensate him with 10 billion shadow taels!” Ling xiongjie said angrily. As the clan leader, even if he forcefully detained Ling Yu, who would dare to say anything?

“Ling xiongjie, the clan’s ancestral teachings state that as the clan’s elder, the clan leader has to protect the clansmen before the truth of the disputes and conflicts between the clansmen and the outside world is found out. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten this ancestral rule? Just because of the one-sided words of an outsider, he dealt with his own clansmen without permission. When his clansmen were injured by outsiders, he turned a blind eye and even had to compensate the outsiders. Since when did the Ling clan have such a spineless clan leader like you?” Ling Yu countered, not hiding his mocking intent at all.

After hearing Ling Yu’s words, the members of the Ling clan began to discuss among themselves. Ling Yu’s words were indeed correct. There was no evidence at the moment, and they were going to convict Ling Yu with just a single word. This was indeed a little inappropriate. If Ling Xiong Jie really did this, it would be a first. If the other clansmen were framed by outsiders in the future, wouldn’t it be a disaster?

Hearing the discussions of the clan, Ling Xiong Jie was very depressed. He had thought that dealing with Ling Yu would be a very simple matter, but he did not expect the usually quiet and cautious Ling Yu to suddenly start a strong counterattack. He did not know how to deal with it for a moment.

In the past, Ling Yu had been too incompetent. If he had known that Ling Yu was so eloquent, Ling Xiong Jie would have collected evidence in advance. With his means, even if he had no evidence, he would have found some evidence. But now, it was too late.

The initiative was in Ling Yu’s hands.

“As the third-in-line successor of the Ling family, if the family head is unable to uphold justice for me, I request to report this matter to my uncle and let him make a decision!” Ling Yu looked straight at Ling Xiong Jie and shouted. This was his goal. As long as he brought up the snow Emperor, all the problems would be solved.

When he had been detained, the snow Emperor had secretly sent someone over to tell him that the snow Emperor would definitely be there on the day of the trial. He might have been held back by some matters, and he just had to wait until the snow Emperor arrived.

Ling Xiong Jie frowned. Ling Yu’s audacity was most likely because he had the snow Emperor’s support. That was why Ling Yu was so certain that he would wait for the snow Emperor’s arrival. If he waited for the snow Emperor’s arrival, it would be a little troublesome to deal with Ling Yu.

Back then, Ling Xiong Jie had used some underhanded methods to kill Ling Yu’s parents, but Ling Yu had been protected by the snow Emperor. He had even given Ling Yu a Tianhai shenmi. As time passed and Ling Yu slowly grew up, Ling Xiong Jie had long wanted to kill Ling Yu and be happy. However, he had never found a suitable opportunity. Now that he had finally found such an opportunity, how could he let it go so easily? After all, as long as Ling Yu was alive, he would be a disaster!

When cutting grass, one must remove the roots!

Ling xiongjie sneered in his heart. If he couldn’t deal with Ling Yu today, what authority would he have as the head of the Ling family?
