At this, Sikong Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. A void-rift world?
This was something utterly unfamiliar to him...
But he did not press for details, instead letting Ling Ertian continue—especially about where the entrance to this so-called rift world was located...
"It's on Heaven-Soaring Giant Continent. I don't know the exact location, but it must be within my father's sphere of control."
"Only my father knows that a void-rift world exists on Heaven-Soaring Giant Continent. Even the family head knows nothing about it, so he keeps his mouth sealed—tightly sealed. Even those of us closest to him know very little."
"Or rather, only my eldest brother knows a little of it."
Bit by bit, Ling Ertian revealed everything she knew.
The reason she knew these things was because she had once overheard a secret conversation between Ling Dongwei and her eldest brother, Ling Zhonghuang.
Curious, she had asked a few questions at the time. Naturally, she had ended up being scolded.
"Why do you say that the Sikong Couple are inside the void-rift world?" Sikong Jing asked again.
Of course he wanted to know why. He wanted to know what Ling Dongwei was doing to his father and mother.
At that moment...
Ling Dongwei suddenly spoke from outside. "There's nothing here, no arrangements of any kind. Ling Jianxing and his sister must have deliberately left Ertian behind to make all of us focus on her, while the two siblings escaped."
At those words, the old Madam Ling finally shrieked, "Ertian, Mother is here to save you!"
In a flash, she rushed over...
She clutched Ling Ertian's barely living body tightly in her arms. After examining her, she cried out again, "Ling Jianxing, that damned son of a bitch! He tortured my precious daughter into this state—I'll slaughter his whole family!"
