From the start of the battle, Ling Chen hadn't let Ji Gang show himself, precisely to achieve an element of surprise. The original plan was for Ji Gang to launch a sudden attack, helping Ling Kun and Chen Junfeng to deal with the two Heavenly List experts of the southern Ling Family. Who would have thought Ling Jian was also a Heavenly List expert? So, Ling Chen had no choice but to let Ji Gang take care of Ling Jian first.
Now, Ling Jian was already seriously injured. Even if Ji Gang didn't act, he wouldn't be a match for Xu Ming and the others. Ling Jian clearly realized this too, as he retreated with a grim expression. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Ling Ao and Ling Feng quickly withdrew from the fight, rushed to Ling Jian's side, and guarded the family head behind them, warily watching the others.
