C15 Return the Virtuous Saber
Article 15 - Return the Gentleman Blade.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds, when it shone on the Great Earth Mountain, everyone noticed that the doors of the Jun family were tightly shut. Furthermore, there was a thick layer of ice on the door. Everyone stopped to watch and quickly left.
The courtyard was incomparably clean without any trace of blood. Everything was just as normal. However, the only thing that was missing was the people of Jun family and the noisy atmosphere in the past. One night, the family and the branch family of Jun family were all gone. There were more than a hundred of them, and none of them were spared.
In the back mountain of Desolate Town, there were many bamboo tablets erected on this vast hillside. In one night's time, Jun Ling had dug a grave for each of them. The lives of the dead were written on every single bamboo monument. Jun Ling took a few steps back and knelt down on both knees, kowtowing three times to the numerous bamboo tablets. He raised three fingers and said in a cold voice, "I will not take revenge for Jun family in this life, and I will never rest until I enter the Yellow Spring!"
"I will never betray the loyalty of my people. In my next life, I will still be a member of the Jun family!"
"No matter who they are, as long as Ling is still alive, I will make him bleed!"
"I will definitely kill the blood of my enemies and pay tribute to the souls of the hundred people of the Jun family!"
After saying these words, Jun Ling kowtowed once more and stood up to Jun Susu's bamboo monument. He caressed her bamboo monument and smiled. "Young master will avenge you! Susu, you watch carefully. However, that smile was very cold. Jun Ling slowly retreated. When he arrived at the side of the mountain road, Jun Ling took a deep breath and forcefully held back the soreness in his chest. Xiao Ran. He turned around and never looked back.
The matter of Jun family's destruction still hadn't been concealed. In just half a day, it had swept across the Desolate Town. It had caused a huge earthquake in the Desolate Town. For a moment, the Jun family had become the topic of everyone's conversation. The entire Desolate Town was like the end of the world. The annihilation of the Jun family was a warning in the eyes of these families. It was as if everyone was suddenly in danger. What exactly happened that night? They had used their blood and ruthless means to shock the entire Desolate Town.
After all, so many people had died. This incident quickly attracted the attention of the Luo City government. The reports were reported to the royal family of Purple Wind Country. The emperor was furious that a massacre of this level had occurred under his rule. It was utterly devoid of conscience! The reason why he immediately ordered the Imperial Guards and the Cabinet to investigate this matter was also related to the ancestors of the Jun family.
Jun Rulie was an elder of the dynasty in the past. He wore Zi Jia and fought in all directions. No one in the dynasty could not accept his outstanding military achievements, but in the end, he was convicted of treason and was demoted to Luo City. In fact, everyone in Purple Wind Country knew about this. Jun Rulie's meritorious service was so great that his prestige was almost on par with the emperor at that time. As an emperor, how could he tolerate such a situation?
There was no evidence for the crime of treason at that time, and the royal family needed an excuse. Just like that, the Jun family, which was like the sun at noon, was demoted to Luo City, and finally came to Desolate Town, where they no longer had their former glory. The current emperor was the one whom Jun Rulie admired the most in the past, but he also knew that once the Jun family returned to the dynasty, he was certain that he wouldn't be able to fight them. That was why he had been here for so many years. The Imperial Family didn't suppress or reward the Jun family, allowing them to develop freely.
But now that the Jun family had been annihilated, the Emperor felt at ease! The existence of the Jun family didn't pose any threat to his position. What he needed to do now was to avenge the Jun family, and he only wanted to repay the kindness of Grandfather Jun Rulie with a clear conscience!
The annihilation of the Jun family had shocked the entire country. Jun Ling, who had escaped death that day, was still trying to find out about the blood-red jade pendant in Desolate Town. Soon, someone came to find Jun Ling.
"Is it the Second Young Master Jun?"
A tall man stood in front of Jun Ling and cupped his fists. Jun Ling remained expressionless and turned a deaf ear. His slender fingers held the teacup and slowly rotated it. The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Young Master Jun, the master of the Leng family invites you in."
Pata!
The teacup in Jun Ling's hands stopped when he heard the three masters of Leng family. He put down the teacup and said with no warmth in his voice, "Lead the way." The big man nodded bitterly and quickly turned around. He touched his head and found that he was sweating profusely. He was actually sweating in this cold weather! The look in the eyes of the young master Jun just now was truly terrifying. It was as if he wanted to kill anyone.
The burly man hurriedly led the way and led Jun Ling to the front door of the Leng family. The Leng family was a family that had a good relationship with the Jun family in Desolate Town. As a weapon family, the Leng family was definitely one of the top families in the Purple Wind Country. One should not think that the Leng family was not powerful just because they lived in Desolate Town. In fact, the Leng family had a weapon business in the Purple Wind Country. It had always been one of the best.
Under the guidance of the burly man, Jun Ling arrived at the main hall of the Leng family. A middle-aged man was sitting upright in the main hall. There was a sharp aura between his dignified face and brows. When he saw Jun Ling and Leng Rufeng, he also stood up. He said, "Nephew, are you alright?" When he saw Jun Ling's murderous aura, even Leng Rufeng was amazed.
"Uncle Leng!"
Jun Ling slightly cupped his fist and said in a cold voice. Leng Rufeng didn't care about this. Jun Ling's Gang family had suffered a terrible disaster, which made people feel bad about it. Jun Ling sat down and Leng Rufeng let out a sigh. He said, "Nephew, since things have already come to this point, it is not appropriate for uncle to say anything. What do you plan to do now?"
"Cultivate, take revenge!"
Jun Ling's reply was simple and crude, like a walking corpse. Leng Rufeng smiled. Where are we going to take revenge?" he asked. Jun Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he remained silent. Leng Rufeng looked at Jun Ling and said with a complicated tone, "I do have a place suitable for you, if you want to."
"What place?" Jun Ling asked.
"Vast Wave Academy!" Leng Rufeng looked at Jun Ling and said, "Vast Wave Academy is the number one academy in the Imperial Capital. My daughter Leng Ning is also cultivating in Vast Wave Academy. You must remember that only when you become stronger, you can talk about revenge. Although revenge must be avenged, you must first calm your heart. Think about it. If the other party can do such a sensational thing overnight, then the force must be very powerful! "
" Only by living can you take revenge! "
Leng Rufeng's words echoed in Jun Ling's ears. He was silent for a long time before he finally nodded and said, "As uncle said, I will leave immediately!" Leng Rufeng felt relieved in his heart. He had finally persuaded him. Protecting this kid was the best way to explain to Jun Tiannan.
"Wait!"
Leng Rufeng stood up and took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Jun Ling. He said, "Give him to Loong Feng of Vast Wave Academy. He will arrange for your cultivation. There is another thing I want to give you!" Jun Ling looked at him curiously. Leng Rufeng gave a look to the guard beside him. The guard turned around and left. Not long after, he carried a huge black box.
"This is the combat blade your grandfather Jun Rulie used in the past. Its name is Gentleman Blade! After the decline of the Jun family, this blade has been kept by me. Now, you are the only descendant of the Jun family. The Gentleman Blade should also be returned to you! " Leng Rufeng opened the black box. Inside the box lay a huge long blade. The blade was three feet long, and the blade exuded a domineering aura. One look at it was enough to make people feel afraid.
The back of the blade was smooth and flawless, and the silver light on the blade was so bright that no one dared to look at it directly. The blade was carved with an ancient and mysterious totem, and it gave off a proud aura.
Jun Ling's breathing became somewhat hurried. He trembled as he received the Gentleman Blade, as if the scene before his eyes was like a scene of war and war.
