Inside the villa, everything feels peaceful and calm.
Ling Xiyue leaned beside him, her eyes gentle, calm, and peaceful. Yesterday’s innocence and shyness had disappeared from her eyes, replaced by a gentle and mature charm. His mind was completely calm, filled with peace and certainty.
Jiang Xuelan was awake and standing quietly by the window, looking at the mountains and rivers in the main city with a calm and controlled expression.
David slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and deep. After resting for a night, his mind and spirit were completely at ease, his spiritual power was more refined and gentle, and his foundation was more stable and firm. The effects of rest and its accumulation far outweighed several days of hard work.
Just then, soft and steady footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard. Ling Xiyuan came alone, his expression serious and respectful, his steps slow and careful, not daring to disturb the peace within the courtyard.
After receiving permission from David, Ling Xiyuan walked lightly into the courtyard, bowed respectfully, and reported all the intelligence information from last night’s secret battle in a serious tone.
“Young Master, last night, the Si Lu family secretly sent seven top elite spies to infiltrate the heart of my Lingxi main city. They conspired with Ling Ji, a traitor within our clan, to spy on your whereabouts and our clan’s movements.”
“I’ve deployed hidden guard troops and void surveillance throughout the area to monitor the enemy’s movements. Last night, all of my core guard troops were deployed to surround and intercept them.”
The seven spies were found; six of them died immediately, their souls and spirits destroyed, leaving no trace behind. Only the enemy spy commander, who desperately exhausted his lifespan and activated a forbidden escape technique, managed to break through the encirclement and escape, heavily injured.
“My subordinates immediately ordered a full-scale search, sealed the entrances and exits, and thoroughly investigated the remaining enemy traces to prevent the spread of intelligence information.”
The internal traitor Ling Ji had been captured alive, his cultivation had been stripped, and he had been imprisoned, awaiting the young master’s judgment.
Ling Xiyuan spoke clearly and logically, giving a complete explanation of all the intrigue of the power struggle, ambush, and siege that occurred last night, without daring to omit a single detail.
After speaking, he bent slightly, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness and worry, and continued to analyze the situation in a deep voice:
“My judgment is that the spy commander who escaped has most likely passed the core intelligence information back to the Si Lu family.”
Even though Si Lu was currently very weak and appeared strong on the outside but weak on the inside, his remaining strength should not be underestimated. Once he learns that young master is hiding in my Lingxi and that our clan has completely submitted to him, he will definitely feel fear, anger, and hatred.
“But now the Silu and Xuanqiu clans are both injured and unable to take care of themselves. The other four great powers each keep their own secrets and hide, watching and waiting. They certainly won’t dare to send troops to attack my Lingxi territory any time soon, and they won’t dare fight my clan directly on the front lines either.”
“The reason why I deliberately was patient, did not take the initiative to provoke, and did not immediately quarrel with Si Lu was to give you enough time to rest, recuperate, and recover.”
“Now that you have just studied our clan’s alchemy resources, rebuilt your foundation, and continued to improve, this is a critical period for you to focus on cultivation and accumulating strength. It is not recommended to start a direct war too early and get involved in conflicts in the sky.”
“After you completely stabilize your cultivation, break through to a higher realm, and reach a new peak of strength, our Lingxi clan will provide full support. We will not be afraid of the remaining forces of Silu or Xuanqiu, and even if we have to face all the races of the heavens head-on, we will have sufficient confidence!”
Ling Xiyuan was wise and farsighted. Every analysis he made accurately highlighted the core advantages and disadvantages of the current situation in the sky, taking into account all risks, opportunities, and plans.
Chen listened to the report quietly, his expression indifferent, his eyes did not reveal any emotions, as if he did not care about intelligence information leaks and spying activities by foreign enemies.
He slowly got up, the morning light shining on him, his posture straight and extraordinary, his temperament majestic and otherworldly, and he spoke softly: “It’s okay.”
“Intelligence leaks are bound to happen sooner or later. Si Lu and Xuan Qiu have long considered me a thorn in their flesh, and they won’t let me go regardless of whether this leak happens or not.”
“You have done a great job. Patience, persistence, and a calm approach are the wisest strategies right now.”
“Next, we will continue to block information, clean up internal traitors, strengthen our territory, hone our alchemy skills, and devote ourselves to cultivation.”
I need time to calm down and fully digest the alchemy resources and spiritual energy of the Lingxi family, to strengthen my foundation and break through my limitations.
“The day I achieve my goal will be the day when the balance of power in the heavens completely changes.”
At that point, they no longer needed to knock on my door; I will settle all old grudges, overthrow the old order, and reshape a new heaven.
These few words, spoken lightly, hid boundless ambition and incomparable passion.
As dawn broke, the wind died down and the clouds disappeared.
The Lingxi Region might appear peaceful and prosperous, as if untouched by worldly strife, but in reality, undercurrents were already stirring and deadly intent lurked.
A great upheaval that would sweep across the twenty-five heavens was silently occurring and drawing ever closer.
