Chapter 576: Chapter 565: Hero Prince’s Mansion
"Of course there is."
Upon hearing the name Lü Yi of the Hero Prince’s Mansion.
Ding Ling suddenly realized, the current time point in the Wind and Cloud World should be before Kong Ci was beaten to death.
After Kong Ci’s death, Bu Jingyun killed Lü Yi and his family.
Lü Yi is not dead yet.
It seems Bu Jingyun has not come yet.
"Then, I invite you to visit my Hero Prince’s Mansion."
Lü Yi said with a kind face:
"My Hero Prince’s Mansion is the place with the largest storage of medicinal herbs within a ten-mile radius. If you want to purchase herbs, cooperating with my mansion is absolutely the most cost-effective and convenient choice."
"If that’s the case, fine."
Ding Ling nodded.
The cultivation of Lü Yi from the Hero Prince’s Mansion is at most a First-class Middle Tier.
Such a person can be crushed by just a finger, so what’s there to worry about? Since the herbs are in the Hero Prince’s Mansion and Lü Yi is inviting him generously, Ding Ling naturally feels too lazy to search elsewhere.
So, the two walked one behind the other towards the center of the city.
The Hero Prince’s Mansion is located right in the center of the city.
Numerous houses are built around the mansion, forming an Eight Trigrams layout to protect the Hero Prince’s Mansion.
Looking at the robust men coming in and out of these houses, it goes without saying, they are all minions gathered by the Hero Prince’s Mansion.
The Hero Prince’s Mansion covers an extremely vast area.
With pavilions and lofts linked to each other, adorned with mountains and pools, and lavishly decorated to every extent.
Upon reaching the main hall, a glance reveals carved beams and majestic houses, beautifully decorated beyond imagination.
Seeing the tip of the leopard through the tube.
The wealth and luxury of the Hero Prince’s Mansion is apparent.
Under Lü Yi’s invitation, Ding Ling sat at the left-hand seat in the main hall.
Lü Yi noticed Ding Ling’s calm face, showing no fear, and couldn’t help but secretly be surprised, thinking:
"Any ordinary young man would be attracted and overwhelmed by the splendor and luxury here in my Hero Prince’s Mansion; but this Ding Ling seems completely unaffected. Either he’s pretending, or his background must certainly not be inferior to my Hero Prince’s Mansion."
However, Lü Yi had asked Ding Ling along the way.
Ding Ling said his parents died early and he had no dependency in this world.
At that time, Lü Yi observed Ding Ling’s complexion and expression and roughly concluded that Ding Ling was probably not lying, so...
Lü Yi then gave a signal to his subordinates.
The subordinate immediately ran out.
Soon after.
A maid came holding a tea set and snacks, offering tea and water to Ding Ling, and Lü Yi also laughed heartily:
"Brother Ding, this is top-grade fine tea, sourced from deep within Tian Mountain, specifically gifted to me by the current Huixiong Gang Leader from the World Association; I’ve always been reluctant to drink it. Give it a try, it will definitely satisfy you."
Ding Ling watched without expression.
Once the maid poured the tea, he picked up the teacup, took a sniff, and suddenly looked at Lü Yi:
"Master Lü, what do you mean by giving me a cup of poisoned tea to drink?"
"Hmm?!"
Lü Yi’s face slightly changed, his expression somewhat unnatural, as he said:
"This is top-grade, exquisite tea, how can it be poisoned tea?"
"Hmph."
Ding Ling snorted lightly, unwilling to waste more words, he opened his palm, deploying Ice Collection Skill and Profound Ice Skill, instantly conjuring thin ice shards on his palm.
With a wave of his hand.
Over a dozen ice shards shot toward Lü Yi like meteors streaking through the sky.
"What is this?!"
Lü Yi was already on guard when Ding Ling questioned him, and upon seeing the attack, he was shocked, flipping himself away and swiftly drawing his sword to stab at Ding Ling:
"Ding Ling! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. As Master of this Mansion, I regard you as an honored guest, and yet you dare show me disrespect. Today, I’ll let you witness the Hero King Swordsmanship, passed down through generations in my Hero Prince’s Mansion!"
Before the voice fell.
He had already mustered all his energy, executing the Lü family’s Supreme Skill.
At that moment.
The sky was filled with golden sword shadows!
Accompanied by majestic, overwhelming heroism, swords aimed at Ding Ling’s vital spots.
Ding Ling raised an eyebrow, not even looking, simply reached out and grabbed thin air; in just a moment another handful of thin ice shards formed in his hand, he waved them, and the shards flew toward Lü Yi like fleeting beams of light.
Clang clang clang!
As the sword shadows fell around Ding Ling, the ice shards shot at Lü Yi simultaneously landed on him.
Lü Yi did not evade, thinking his sword was surely stronger than these so-called ice shards!
But to his horror, when his sword struck Ding Ling, it sparked brilliantly, and with the naked eye, a fluctuating protective barrier enveloped Ding Ling.
"What kind of kung fu is this?!"
Lü Yi was in shock:
"So young, orphaned early, how could you have mastered such supreme skills?! Who exactly are you?"
Ding Ling did not answer.
He simply activated the Life and Death Talisman.
The next moment.
Lü Yi felt as though thousands of fine needles were piercing his vital points, involuntarily screaming miserably, and soon his entire body seemed to be covered by countless ants biting him, from head to toe, leaving no part untouched, itchy and painful.
Lü Yi couldn’t bear it.
Unable to resist scratching and clawing at himself, in less than a moment his whole body was covered in blood from his scratching, still screaming miserably, continually pleading with Ding Ling for mercy and crying for help.
When others in the Hero Prince’s Mansion heard the noise, they came over, all astonished and aghast at the sight.
A handsome, eight-foot-tall youth saw this scene, his face changing dramatically, shouting ’Father,’ he drew his sword and charged at Ding Ling:
"You scoundrel, dare harm my father. I demand your life!"
Ding Ling snorted lightly, the Ghost Realm’s Howling Wind’s Sound Wave Skill converged into a straight line, heading straight for the young man, and in the next instant, the youth’s eardrum burst, clutching his head and screaming as he fell.
Just from one snort.
The Young Master of the Mansion’s ears bled, screaming on the ground without stopping.
The others who had just rushed in from the Hero Prince’s Mansion inhaled sharply at this sight, hesitating between advancing and retreating, unsure whether to continue to die or retreat.
But Ding Ling wouldn’t tolerate them, following up with several more light snorts.
The guards at the entrance all toppled over, ears bleeding, pupils exploding, their fate unknown.
The maid who served Ding Ling tea was petrified, standing frozen in place, her complexion pale. Ding Ling glanced at her, which scared her to the point that her legs went soft, kneeling on the ground and knocking her head, begging:
"Hero, spare me, spare me."
Ding Ling waved his hand, signaling she could leave.
The maid was overjoyed, quickly lifted her skirt, and dashed out, as if chased by ghosts or gods, fleeing in a panicked yet swift manner, midway she stumbled due to rushing and fell over.
Ding Ling was indifferent, only to unleash the Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm, striking Lü Yi’s vital point with one palm.
The next moment.
Lü Yi felt a warm flow entering his body, instantly dissipating the original pain and itchiness like receding floodwaters.
He was both shocked and delighted, feeling around his body, but found no pain.
But recalling the previous unbearable suffering.
His heart chilled.
The look in his eyes at Ding Ling changed over and over again, filled with extreme fear.
[You have obtained the Achievement Medal: You have intimidated Lü Yi of the Hero Prince’s Mansion.]
[Note: Lü Yi heard Shopkeeper Wang mention your Storage Pouch and greed took hold of his heart. He immediately came to test you. Knowing you had no backing, he developed the thought of stealing by force.
He poisoned your tea and released another poison into the air.
Only when the two poisons mixed inside the body.
Would they activate immediately, making survival impossible, yet death unachievable!
By then, in order to survive, you would have to hand over your Storage Pouch and willingly become his lowly subordinate.
He thought this way, but you used his own method against him, letting Lü Yi suffer horribly, agonizing beyond endurance!]
