Chapter 600: He Wants to Become a Son-in-Law of the Ling Family

Chapter 600: He Wants to Become a Son-in-Law of the Ling Family

Inside the Bloodbath Demon Hall, the loyal disciples of the Refining Demon Sect patiently listened to the words of Area Leader Ling Yuan, and at the end, they all raised their hands in unison, chanting the sect’s terminology, representing blessings for Ling Yuan.

In various religious organizations, blessings are essential; subordinates bless their superiors, peers bless each other, and superiors bless their subordinates. However, such blessings sound like an alien language to an average person.

Having given his instructions to his subordinates, Ling Yuan then retreated like a holy emperor, waving his hand, and the disciples promptly withdrew.

As for his own daughter, Ling Meng, she was instructed to stay behind for a discussion.

“Ling Meng.”

“Ling Meng is here, Father.”

Ling Meng politely performed a bow, demonstrating respect even in the absence of other disciples.

Ling Yuan was strict, imposing high standards on Ling Meng, and it was difficult for her to defy his orders.

“I’ve been busy lately and haven’t paid much attention to your training. How is your progress?”

“It’s fairly good, but I’ve hit a bottleneck in the Demon Beast Sacrifice Technique and haven’t managed to break through.”

“Not broken through yet? I taught you the method last time; didn’t you try it?”

“I did try, but maybe it’s only suitable for you, Father. I haven’t been able to break through. If only my master could guide me…”

“Master? You’re talking about that person again. He doesn’t belong to the Refining Demon Sect but understands Demon Power, which makes him the enemy of our sect. Thinking of an enemy as your teacher is a grave mistake; do you not realize this?”

Ling Yuan listened with great anger; he had a strong sense of pride. His daughter seeking teachings from someone outside the Refining Demon Sect, abandoning his methods, was a blow to his dignity!

However, Ling Meng said firmly:

“Father, I’m just speaking the truth. My master values freedom and isn’t willing to be confined, which is why he won’t join the Refining Demon Sect. Moreover, I dare say his understanding and insights into Demon Power are superior to any disciple. I previously followed his methods and indeed broke through the bottleneck significantly.”

“You’re too naive. Why would an outsider teach you Demon Power for no reason? Have you considered why?”

Ling Yuan questioned Ling Meng, but she remained calm:

“My master sees my potential and extraordinary talent, so he’s willing to teach me.”

“Is that so? If you practice according to his methods, isn’t there a hidden danger? Maybe he’s planted seeds of disaster within you, and one day you might lose yourself, becoming his puppet.”

Ling Yuan continued to chastise Ling Meng; in short, he did not acknowledge that demon practitioner named Wu Ying Ge. He had raised his daughter to be talented, and now she kept mentioning that guy—it was unbearable!

“But, Father, without my master, I would have been killed long ago and wouldn’t have made such rapid progress. You wouldn’t have become the area leader. Everything has improved because of my master; otherwise, our Ling family would have long been ostracized by the colleagues of the Refining Demon Sect.”

Ling Meng countered Ling Yuan. In the past, she would have never dared to rebut him, but when it came to discussing her master, she stood her ground, using facts to argue with her father.

She wasn’t wrong; the Ling family had indeed been struggling. Her father, though strong, wasn’t outstanding within the Refining Demon Sect, which had many talented individuals aspiring for power. The Ling family had already begun to face oppression a long time ago.

Without the techniques and mindset taught by her master, how could they face those disciples? Her father’s position as area leader largely relied on her contributions.

“Ling Meng, are you planning to rebel?”

“No, I’m merely stating facts. I don’t understand why you won’t acknowledge my master’s excellence. Besides, I will get married eventually, and having someone as exceptional as my master as a son-in-law would be a blessing for the Ling family.”

“You intend to let an outsider from the Refining Demon Sect be your husband? This is getting out of hand, Ling Meng. This is not something you should consider. There are far better candidates within the Refining Demon Sect!”

Ling Yuan was becoming increasingly enraged. His daughter was indeed rebelling; he would definitely not agree to this marriage!

“Father, then what would it take for you to recognize him?”

“Recognition? Fine. The sect leader has a son, a rare talent in decades of the Refining Demon Sect. If he can prove his worth, I will naturally acknowledge him.”

Ling Yuan threw out an excessive condition. The sect leader’s son was the most gifted new generation demon practitioner, already recognized as superior within the Refining Demon Sect—there’s no way anyone could be better!

Ling Yuan hoped that Ling Meng would marry someone outstanding from the inner circle, as he knew those individuals’ capabilities well.

As for Wu Ying Ge, with an unknown background and no ties to the Refining Demon Sect, how could he possibly accept him?

“Alright, but before that, please don’t interfere with my marital affairs.”

“Fine, I’ll wait and see.”

Ling Yuan stated. The chances of Wu Ying Ge ever encountering someone outstanding in the Refining Demon Sect were slim. If they did, that would be his demise.

The strongest Demon Power in the world belonged to the Refining Demon Sect. Those outside of it lack the resources, with limited potential.

Besides, Wu Ying Ge only understood the surface; he was merely deceiving his daughter.

……

Lin Nuo changed into elegant and stylish attire, looking mature, and rode in a carriage alongside Mu Yiting and her father to attend Mu Yuanfeng’s birthday celebration.

According to Mu Yiting and her father, this gathering was like a feast of Hangu Pass, where one could easily go but not return. Originally, Mu Feng planned to arrange plenty of guards to accompany them, but Lin Nuo blocked that, suggesting they only bring a token number.

There was no point in bringing too many; better to leave some behind to guard the home. After all, if someone is out to get you, bringing a lot wouldn’t help; when powerful individuals clash, it often comes down to a moment’s decision.

Upon arriving at the venue, the coachman brought the horses to a halt, revealing a grand and magnificent mansion before them—a stark contrast to the Mu family home, which resembled the difference between a commoner’s house and an imperial palace.

Mu Yuanfeng, at his advanced age, was still flaunting such a large mansion; after all, he wouldn’t have many years left to enjoy it.

Today, Mu Yiting wore an elegant outfit. She stepped out of the carriage, linking arms with Lin Nuo as if they were inseparable.

A row of guards stood watch outside, exuding a formidable aura, as members of the Mu family walked down the path formed by the soldiers, entering the mansion.

“The scale is quite impressive.” Lin Nuo commented.

“Yeah, but I believe you’ll have something even more impressive in the future,” Mu Yiting smiled back.

Lin Nuo complimented lightly, but deep down, he knew it was nothing special.

Having seen the great waves of the sea, coming to see small ripples felt trivial.

Mu Yiting, initially smiling, suddenly seemed to lose her smile upon seeing a group of people approaching.

“Yiting sister, it’s been a while!”

As a slightly innocent-looking young girl approached with a pleasant smile.
