Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: To Slay

The two Commanders’ attacks and Lin Yun’s Dual Dragon World Destruction collided violently. The two sides were evenly matched, and after a stalemate lasting over ten breaths, all three Martial Skills exploded at once.

The massive shockwave sent all three flying. However, using the force of the blast, Lin Yun suddenly charged toward those two bastards in the main hall.

No one expected Lin Yun to suddenly change his target and charge toward the main hall with lightning speed.

Like a cannonball, Lin Yun shot straight through the roof of the main hall. Before Patriarch Wei could even react, Lin Yun landed beside the two men with a thunderous BOOM.

Dust and smoke instantly filled the entire main hall. The floor where Lin Yun landed shattered, and wood splinters and swirling dust completely shrouded the three figures.

”Lin Yun, don’t do anything rash...!” Patriarch Wei roared, unable to see their positions clearly.

However, in response to Patriarch Wei’s roar, only the screams and pleas of the two men echoed from within the dust cloud.

”Lin Yun, let us go! We were wrong! We swear we’ll never do it again...!”

The pleas for mercy continued for over ten breaths before the main hall finally fell silent again. Because Lin Yun had suddenly charged inside, the battle in the courtyard had also come to a halt.

The three Commanders stood outside the main hall, a crowd of Primordial Ocean Realm guards behind them. As for Little Ape, it had been completely ignored. After all, with Lin Yun rushing into the hall and the three Commanders ceasing their assault, who would bother tangling with the ferocious beast?

The dust slowly settled, and the figures of Lin Yun and the two men gradually reappeared. When they saw the scene before them, the eyes of Patriarch Wei and the three Commanders went wide.

The Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear pinned one of the men to the ground. Lin Yun had snapped the other’s neck and was holding the body in his hand.

”Lin Yun... You... you actually dared to kill a Core Disciple of the Taiqing Academy?” Patriarch Wei finally roared, stunned into silence for a long moment.

Completely ignoring Patriarch Wei’s furious roar, Lin Yun tossed the corpse aside like a piece of trash. He retracted the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear and spoke calmly to Patriarch Wei.

”Patriarch Wei, if these two can be considered Core Disciples of the Taiqing Academy, then the Academy is a great disappointment.”

”You... Good, good, good,” Patriarch Wei seethed, turning to the three Commanders outside the door. ”Men, seize this brat! No... execute him on the spot! Execute this brat for me right now!”

As he spoke, a wave of Elemental Power at the very Limit of the Celestial Spirit Realm erupted from Patriarch Wei.

Watching the enraged Patriarch Wei, Lin Yun’s expression remained unchanged. He showed no signs of tension; on the contrary, he deactivated his War God Transformation and suppressed his aura.

”Patriarch, Lin Yun’s background is extraordinary. If we kill him rashly, I fear it will bring disaster upon the Wei Family...” The Grand Commander did not attack, but instead approached Patriarch Wei and whispered this advice.

”Then what do you suggest? We just let this brat run rampant in my Wei Family?” Patriarch Wei demanded.

”Patriarch, this Lin Yun is a friend of Young Master Yunhang. I suggest we wait for Young Master Yunhang’s return before deciding what to do,” the Grand Commander said.

Hearing the Grand Commander’s words, Patriarch Wei fell into thought for a moment. Then, with a cold expression, he withdrew his Elemental Power. He shot Lin Yun a dark look, snorted coldly, and stormed out of the main hall with a flick of his robes.

With Patriarch Wei gone, it was naturally up to the three Commanders to deal with the mess.

The Wei Family’s main courtyard and hall were now in ruins, so damaged that they would certainly have to be rebuilt. But ignoring the destruction, the Grand Commander approached Lin Yun first.

”Young Master Lin, since matters have reached this point, please stay in the Wei Family residence for now. Tomorrow, when Young Master Yunhang returns, you can explain the situation to him. What do you say?” the Grand Commander asked in a placating tone.

It had to be said, the Wei Family’s Grand Commander was a sharp man. He knew about the relationship between Lin Yun and Wei Yunhang, and he knew Lin Yun’s current standing was not to be trifled with, so he was careful not to offend Lin Yun too severely.

”That won’t be necessary. My friends are still at the Ji Family residence. When Brother Wei arrives tomorrow, just send someone to inform me. I will come and visit in person then,” Lin Yun replied.

The Grand Commander didn’t insist. He even offered to have a horse-drawn carriage prepared to take Lin Yun back, but Lin Yun politely declined. ’A carriage is nowhere near as fast as I am, anyway.’

Taking Little Ape with him, Lin Yun sped off in the direction of the Ji Family residence.

Watching Lin Yun’s departing figure, the Second and Third Commanders approached the Grand Commander and asked in confusion, ”Brother, why did you let him go so easily? What if he runs away?”

Hearing them, the Grand Commander said slowly, ”Do you think he would run? Besides, you all witnessed his Combat Power for yourselves. Do you think making an enemy of a Demon Fiend like him would be a good thing or a bad thing for the Wei Family?”

At the Grand Commander’s words, the Second and Third Commanders nodded, though they only partially understood. The two of them were simple warriors who had always followed the Grand Commander’s lead.

”And most importantly,” he added, as if speaking to himself, ”Young Master Yunhang certainly wouldn’t want us to make an irreconcilable enemy of Lin Yun.” With that, the Grand Commander departed.

As for the state of the Wei Family’s main hall and courtyard, and the matter of the dead and injured guards, there were subordinates to handle such things.

Lin Yun hurried back to the Ji Family residence. He couldn’t help but worry, as Lu Bingning and the other two women were still there. He knew, of course, that the Lu Bingning and Lan Xi of today were a far cry from their former selves.

Still, it was only natural for him to worry about his women.

He was finally able to relax when he saw that the three women were safe. They were sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. The blood that had stained the yard had already been cleaned up by the Ji household staff.

With a small smile, Lin Yun went and sat beside them. ’So much has happened tonight,’ he thought. Not only had he killed those two bastards at the Wei Family’s home, but the Ji Family had also experienced a massive upheaval.

”The entire Ji Family has been wiped out,” Lu Bingning said calmly.

Lin Yun wasn’t surprised to hear this. He replied just as calmly, ”Some actions are destined to have consequences.”

As for why the Ji Family was killed, they were naturally murdered by their own Guard Commander.

With Patriarch Ji dead, the entire Ji Family was left without a leader. It was the perfect opportunity to seize control. After serving the Ji Family for so many years, the Guard Commander would surely want to take his dead master’s place.

Under such circumstances, not a single member of the Ji Family could have possibly survived.

The three women hadn’t interfered in the slaughter of the Ji Family, and the family’s former Guard Commander had been smart enough not to disturb them. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

He looked at their calm faces. He could understand why Lu Bingning and Lan Xi were so composed, but he was a bit surprised that Mo Qingliu was also taking it so calmly.

”Brother Lin Yun, I’ve seen things like this many times,” Mo Qingliu said with a hint of sadness, noticing his surprised glance.
