Chapter 1026 - 928: Turning the Tables
"Was it you who poisoned?"
He Jie's face darkened as he looked warily at the middle-aged man. The man's face was pale; he wanted to say something, but Yang Tian activated his Spiritual Breath with a slap. A strong wave of Spiritual Breath surged into the middle-aged man, and with just one strike, a powerful poison gas emitted from the man's body, breaking all his clothes and revealing a body full of knife scars.
Everyone present changed their expressions: "What's going on?"
The middle-aged man couldn't believe Yang Tian had made a move at this moment; he stared hard at Yang Tian: "Who exactly are you?!!"
"I should be the one asking you this question."
Yang Tian chuckled coldly.
From the moment he stepped here, he felt something was off about the middle-aged man. The Command Token at the man's waist seemed like a Protective Talisman obtained from elsewhere, but it had Spiritual Breath floating in it, identical to the poison breath within He Yongsheng's body.
It was evident that He Yongsheng lying in bed was due to the poison cast by this middle-aged man.
However, when Yang Tian examined the middle-aged man closely using his Divine Sense, he found no fluctuations of Spiritual Breath within the man's body—in other words, this man was not a Martial Artist.
"Get people here immediately and capture him!"
He Jie shouted sharply.
Inside the room, the four wives of He Yongsheng also realized the anomaly of the middle-aged man and summoned the bodyguards to capture him.
Yang Tian did not intervene; he wanted to see who exactly this man was.
As the bodyguards approached the middle-aged man, he took out the Protective Talisman from his waist, bit his finger, and dripped some blood on the talisman. Instantly, the once dormant talisman erupted with a powerful Spiritual Aura. The bodyguards couldn't bear the light and clutched their eyes, falling to the ground with painful groans. Even He Jie and others felt pain in their eyes from the light.
"You must be under Emperor Ling!"
Yang Tian said solemnly.
With a wave of his hand, a Divine Talisman exploded mid-air, and momentarily, He Jie and others calmed down.
The middle-aged man, seeing Yang Tian display such a skill, realized Yang Tian was not ordinary and nervously asked: "You know Emperor Ling too? What's your relationship with him..."
"I am the one who will kill Emperor Ling."
Yang Tian stated indifferently.
The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing this and suddenly overturned the medical cart, desperately trying to escape.
But escaping under Yang Tian's watch was impossible.
Yang Tian shot a wave of Spiritual Breath, striking the middle-aged man, who fell with a thud, immobilized, his eyes fixed on Yang Tian with terror: "What do you want? I'm telling you, I'm with Emperor Ling, and if you kill me, he will definitely avenge me..."
Yang Tian chuckled coldly: "Emperor Ling's man? I think he's controlling you with poison breath. Your wounds are clearly inflicted by the Command Token, isn't it? Emperor Ling gave you that to relieve your body's poison attacks, right?"
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, He Jie and others were taken aback.
The middle-aged man's face turned extremely pale: "How... how do you know..."
"Did Emperor Ling send you to harm He Yongsheng?"
Yang Tian asked indifferently.
"This..."
The middle-aged man's face was hesitant.
Meanwhile, He Jie shouted: "If you don't make it clear today, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
The middle-aged man was also wary of the He Family's influence; he hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Yes, Emperor Ling sent me..."
"Who is Emperor Ling?"
But people like Huang Qing weren't aware of the existence of Emperor Ling. In their world, they'd never seen a Martial Artist, let alone the Emperor of Ling Manor.
"Emperor Ling is the expert hired by He Dong to deal with He Yongsheng." Yang Tian explained indifferently: "He Dong, to seize the family wealth, colluded with Ling Manor, first drugging He Yongsheng for slow poisoning, then framing He Jie. Next, he'll target other He Clan descendants. He Dong aims to become the Gambling King of the He Family within a year!"
Yang Tian's voice resonated, shocking everyone, especially He Yongsheng, who struggled to sit up from the bed and shouted angrily: "Immediately bring He Dong to me! I want to get to the bottom of this!"
The four wives were also furious; if true, He Dong's target was the entire He Clan.
"If it's true, He Dong can be executed by Ling Ge!"
The fourth wife from the Huang Clan declared fiercely.
He Jie wanted to see this scenario the most; he hurried out, dispersing numerous servants and bodyguards to dig out He Dong. Meanwhile, inside the room, the poisonous middle-aged man turned pale and knelt cautiously, pleading: "I've told you everything... please... let me go..."
Yang Tian's face was extremely cold.
This middle-aged man couldn't withstand any turmoil, but the whereabouts of Emperor Ling remained unknown. If Emperor Ling wasn't dead, Yang Tian couldn't leave Australia in peace.
As Yang Tian thought this, a plan surged in his mind; he said to He Yongsheng: "He Yongsheng, without Ling Manor's support, He Dong cannot withstand any turmoil. Now that Ling Manor is destroyed, only Emperor Ling remains at large. To kill you, we'll act according to plan and lure him out."
He Yongsheng wasn't foolish and immediately understood Yang Tian's words; he nodded: "Do as you plan, our He Family will fully assist you!"
"Okay."
Yang Tian nodded. Then he activated his Spiritual Breath to refine a Divine Talisman, writing a line of words on it, and then stuck it on the middle-aged man. Instantly, the man trembled all over, fell to the ground with a pale face, and murmured lowly.
Yang Tian burned the Divine Talisman, transforming it into Talisman Breath, which penetrated deep into the man's soul.
After completing everything, Yang Tian activated his Spiritual Breath with a slap to awaken the man: "Go, lure Emperor Ling out!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a blood-red light, and jumped directly out of the window, running into the night. Yang Tian had placed a Soul Summoning Divine Talisman on him. The man had a Command Token, filled with Emperor Ling's Yin Breath, which would lead Emperor Ling out.
It was around midnight when Yang Tian sensed the information coming from the middle-aged man. He opened his eyes: "Emperor Ling made an appearance; I'm puzzled, can't Li directly kill him?"
