Paul and Chester were horrified!
Chen Jianwei could now use the Evil Eye. It was unquestionable that Chen Jianwei must have obtained the strength of a Viscount. While a Viscount might only be higher than a Baron by one rank, a Viscount was at least ten times more powerful than a Baron. However, the Evil Eye that Chen Jianwei deployed was cured by Ling Yun!
What was scarier was that Ling Yun could even remove the blood oath!
“Oh, Satan. What kind of boss do we have? Honorable Mister Ling is definitely the jinx of the Blood Clan…”
“Honorable Boss is Satan in my eyes…”
Paul and Chester talked timidly.
Ling Yun came to their side. “Can that b*stard Chen Jianwei use the power of the blood oath to trace them to this place?” Ling Yun asked in a hushed tone.
“Honorable Boss, rest a.s.sured. The blood oath and the evil eye are incapable of that…” Chester shook his head immediately.
“Honorable Mister Ling, rest a.s.sured, a Viscount doesn’t have that power. That can only be done by someone who’s at least a pureblooded Grand Duke…”
Ling Yun was relieved. At least they were safe for now.
Two shadows flashed past and went into the other two bas.e.m.e.nts. Ling Yun knew it was Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong through his divine sense. They said something to the rest of the people, and suddenly, all of them were requesting to be restrained.
Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong walked out of the bas.e.m.e.nt and went over to Ling Yun. “Ling Yun, please seal our acupuncture points again and restrain us…”
Ling Yun knew that they were afraid they would lose themselves again and attack Cao Tianlong. He acceded to their request without any hesitation.
Ling Yun wove a dozen ropes from the Golden Black Devilish Silk. He used one on each person as a precaution.
“Tianlong, stay here and accompany your family. Here are some Clarity Talismans. Use them as you deem necessary…
“Let them drink their fill if they’re hungry. Nothing else matters if their l.u.s.t for blood is satiated.
“Also, hold on to this stone. Alternate it between Grandpa Cao and Uncle Cao to keep them conscious.”
Ling Yun knew that the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone was key to the resistance of the blood oath.
The Clarity Talismans he made were of the lowest level. They only accelerated the speed of their awakening.
The Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone would be of great use to Ling Yun even in the Cultivating Emptiness into the Harmonic Way Stage. It was naturally usable for the blood oath.
Ling Yun placed the heavy Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone into Cao Tianlong’s hand. “Remember, this stone can save the lives of your family. Don’t lose it!” he said to Cao Tianlong with telepathy.
Ling Yun never handed something that was important to him to others. However, Ling Yun made this exception because of Cao Shanshan’s deep affection for him.
“Ling Yun, thank you, I understand!” Cao Tianlong received the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone with both hands and nodded.
Ling Yun took out his phone and gave Cao Tianlong’s phone a call so that he would have his number. “Stay here and take care of them. I’ll go out to obtain information about Cao Shanshan. Call me immediately if there are any problems here, and I’ll rush back!”
He then turned to Paul and Chester and said, “Get me stones of about this size from the courtyard… I need thirty-six of them…”
Paul and Chester went off in search of them, baffled. They quickly gathered stones the size of small bowls.
Ling Yun used these thirty-six stones for the Thirty-Six Armillary Sphere Maze Formation under everyone’s watchful gazes.
Paul and Chester stood at the entrance to the bas.e.m.e.nt and saw the entrance disappear along with Ling Yun.
“Oh! Sh*t! What’s Honorable Boss doing? Where is he?” Chester yelled in shock.
“This is simply unbelievable!” Paul muttered, unable to believe his eyes.
Actually, Ling Yun didn’t move from the entrance to the bas.e.m.e.nt. “This is the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation. I’ll tell you how to enter and exit…” he said to the awe-struck Cao Tianlong.
“Remember, any wrong step, and it’ll become a killing formation. It will continue attacking you as long as the stones aren’t broken. Please don’t make a wrong step…” Ling Yun reminded Cao Tianlong after he learned how to walk out of the maze.
“Hey, is there anything you can’t do?” Cao Tianlong asked, simply amazed at this brother-in-law of his.
“This is just a formation. There are many things I can’t do. For example, I can’t fly yet…” Ling Yun replied.
“You want to fly?” Cao Tianlong exclaimed.
Ling Yun patted Cao Tianlong’s shoulder. “Do you have confidence now? I’m heading off, wait for my good news!”
Ling Yun then went back out of the maze formation and patted heavily on Chester and Paul’s shoulders. “Don’t just stand there, follow me!”
The Armillary Sphere Maze Formation didn’t only hide it from sight, sound couldn’t pa.s.s through either. Cao Tianlong could no longer hear Ling Yun talking after he left.
He felt as though he was floating around in a dream. He finally understood why Ling Yun was so calm and confident!
One Ling Yun could go against not ten, not a hundred, but a thousand soldiers!
Confidence and excitement appeared in Cao Tianlong’s eyes for the first time.
“Tianlong, come in!”
Cao Junxiong’s voice traveled out from the first bas.e.m.e.nt. He asked for his acupuncture point to be sealed and to be restrained by the rope, so he wasn’t unhappy about it.
“Please bear with it, Grandpa…”
Cao Tianlong did what Ling Yun did. He made a small slit in Cao Junxiong’s throat and put the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone into Cao Junxiong’s wound.
“Grandpa doesn’t feel pain from this kind of wound, what’s there to bear?” Cao Junxiong said with a bitter laugh.
Cao Junxiong could feel the raring blood oath within him being suppressed when the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone was in contact with his wound. At the same time, he also felt the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone slowly absorbing the mysterious and sinister power in his body.
“Tianlong, Ling Yun is the savior of our Cao Family. Remember, no matter what happens to the ten of us in the end, you have to follow Ling Yun loyally. The Cao Family won’t be razed to the ground as long as you are with him! The Cao Family will even rise up stronger than before in the near future!” Cao Junxiong emphasized solemnly.
“Tianlong, your grandpa is right. I have met many people with your grandpa, but we have never seen someone as talented as Ling Yun. You have to follow Ling Yun no matter what happens to us. Discard all the useless thoughts in your head. It’s a dog eat dog world out there!
“Shanshan was the one who saved our Cao Family. We would have been dead if it wasn’t for her…”
Cao Tianlong nodded and clenched his hands into fists. “Grandpa, I understand. Don’t worry though, I haven’t seen Ling Yun go back on his word since I first met him. I believe he’ll have a way to save you!”
“Grandpa is also looking forward to this. I didn’t say too many words of grat.i.tude to Ling Yun when he was here not because I didn’t have a clear mind but because I know that the Cao Family won’t be able to repay him…”
Cao Tianlong scratched his head. “Grandpa, Ling Yun doesn’t stand on ceremony at all. He is already addressing Shanshan as his wife and me as his elder brother-in-law…”
Cao Junxiong laughed. “Silly boy, Ling Yun did that on purpose to loosen you up. He was afraid that you would break down!”
Cao Junxiong was really an old rat. He understood the intentions behind Ling Yun’s actions immediately.
“I hope that Shanshan is safe. It would be Shanshan’s fortune to marry him. Grandpa will hope and wait. I hope I’ll be able to see that day!” he said with lingering hope.
…
It was two in the morning. Ling Yun brought the two descendants of the Blood Clan to a location one kilometer from the Chen Family’s huge residence.
The Chen Family’s house was also outside of Fifth Ring Road. However, it was in the southwest direction of Beijing. Cao Tianlong told Ling Yun the address. He didn’t need to take any detours, just a straight road all the way south through Beijing.
Ling Yun didn’t get out of the car immediately upon arriving. He sat in the car, pondering before turning to Paul and Chester. “How old are you two?”
“Oh, Honorable Boss, I’m eighty-eight!”
“I’m seventy-nine!”
Paul and Chester answered respectively.
Ling Yun didn’t know how to make sense of that, so he framed his question another way. “How old is that in the Blood Clan?”
“Oh, Honorable Boss, are you referring to our equivalent age in human years? We are still very young… A hundred years as a Blood Clan descendant is equivalent to an eighteen-year-old in human years.
Ling Yun nodded. “Okay, I understand. You two won’t betray me, right?”
“Oh, I swear to Satan above that I will never betray you. You are my Master Satan!”
“Honorable Mister Ling, we were Americans before we became part of the Blood Clan. We take our word very seriously.”
“That’s good then. Let me ask you one more thing.” Ling Yun smiled, satisfied.
