4260 The person he was most afraid of was Ling Chuxi.
Originally, he had wanted to get rid of Ling Chuxi, but Ling Chuxi’s performance in the judicial selection was too amazing. Although he had gotten to know two mysterious experts under the guidance of Shangguan wuyou in the past, he was not confident that he could deal with Ling Chuxi. So after a little hesitation, he decided to make a move on Jing Ziyu. He didn’t expect that the news would be leaked and that the head of family Jing would find out about it in advance, and come to stop it with a few elders.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Jing Ziqiu decided to go all out and kill her father.
At this time, Jing Ziqiu’s heart had long been occupied by hatred. For the sake of power and status, he had thrown all the family ties and ethics to the back of his mind.
Jing Ziyu’s words hit her where it hurt, and Jing Ziqiu was both ashamed and angry. The killing intent on her face became even stronger.
“Forget it. Now that things have come to this, I can’t stop you anymore. If you want the position of the patriarch, I can boldly give it to you. But Ziyu is still your brother and the heir of the Jing clan. I only ask you to let him live. From now on, I will take Ziyu away from home and never come back to the central heaven region. I will not make things difficult for you, and I promise not to tell anyone what happened today. Is that okay?” The head of the Jing family knew that he had to compromise. In any case, regardless of whether he agreed or not, the position of the family head would fall into Jing Ziqiu’s hands today, so there was no need to risk Jing Ziyu’s life.
With Jing Ziqiu’s personality, he might be able to lead the Jing clan to glory, but he might also bring disaster to the Jing clan. He wanted to help the Jing clan preserve its bloodline.
Jing Ziqiu hesitated a little when she heard the old master’s words. Of course, he wasn’t moved by his father’s love for his son. Since he had decided to fight, he had long since thrown the word “family” to the back of his mind. Instead, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He was afraid that a long night would cause more trouble. If the old man was really willing to hand over the position of the head of the family and take Jing Ziyu far away and never come back, and if he was willing to keep it a secret, it seemed to be a good choice.
In this way, he did not need to cover up today’s matter. No matter what, killing his own brother and father for the sake of usurping the throne was a great taboo in the heaven region. No matter how well he covered it up, it was inevitable that the news would leak out. Even if he had the support of the Shangguan family, others could turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. What if Ling Chuxi came to avenge her followers?
At the end of the day, he was afraid of Ling Chuxi.
“Father, you don’t need to beg him. My guard has already escaped and asked Alchemist master Ling for help. It won’t be long before Alchemist master Ling comes to save us. At that time, I’ll see how he dies.” Just as Jing Ziqiu was hesitating, Jing Ziyu said unwillingly,”
“Hmph, that kind of traitor, do you think he can leave the valley alive?” Jing Ziqiu said contemptuously.
That guard had originally been a spy he had placed by Jing Ziyu’s side. He had not expected that he would actually join Jing Ziyu’s side. Even he was shocked when he fled in a hurry. Fortunately, the two mysterious experts he had invited had astonishing strength. With a palm strike in the air, he had been seriously injured. Jing Ziyu could see very clearly that the Guard’s meridians were broken and his sea of Qi ruptured. His internal organs were even more fragmented. He definitely wouldn’t live for long, so he was too lazy to send people to chase after him.
“Hehe, you probably don’t know this, but he has a spirit pill personally refined by Alchemist Ling on him, so it won’t be that easy for him to die.” Jing Ziyu laughed smugly.
“What?” Jing Ziqiu’s expression changed, and she almost lost her composure.
