Chapter 1835: No More

Since Liu Qingyan refuses to meet us, can’t we come to see her?

Even an idiot could hear the anger in his words.

Wu Yunlian's heart tightened. If Liu Qingyan gave in and met the Imperial Jintian Clan members, they would definitely make her suffer.

It would be difficult to say whether she would survive the ordeal.

While Wu Yunlian didn’t care whether Liu Qingyan lived or died, she was deeply concerned about how they would explain things to Kong Yu in the aftermath.

To everyone's surprise, however, the doors remained shut in the face of the menacing and aggressive Jintian Clan group as Lin Xun’s nonchalant voice sounded, "No can do."

The words caused Jintian Qi’s and the others’ faces to stiffen as the rage in their eyes imploded.

To think that they had personally traveled all the way here only to end up being locked outside?!

"Who spoke to us?"

Jintian Qi's voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Wu Yunlian hurriedly answered, "Yu Xuan, an expert of the Imperial Yu Clan. He’s a Saint-King and is currently serving as Junior Sister Qingyan's guard."

"Imperial Yu Clan?"

Jintian Qi scoffed. "To think someone from a mere Ancient Imperial Clan dares to pit himself against us. He must be tired of living!"

The other members also sneered.

Imperial Clans could be further categorized into Primeval Imperial Clans, Ancient Imperial Clans, and Contemporary Imperial Clans.

And their Jintian Clan was a Primeval Imperial Clan!

To the Jintian Clan members, it felt only natural to look down on the Imperial Yu Clan.

"What a bunch of brainless noble brats. How can factions that managed to become Imperial Clans be evaluated based on how long they’ve been around?"

In the distance, the watching hemp-clothed youth inwardly sighed.

From what he knew, there were a few behemoths among the Contemporary Imperial Clans that were not the least bit inferior to some Primeval Imperial Clans!

In other words, a longer history might not necessarily be an indication that a faction was stronger.

The hemp-clothed youth continued to mutter to himself, "But it makes sense for them to think so. After all, the Imperial Jintian Clan is a well-known and established Primeval Imperial Clan that the Imperial Yu Clan can’t compete with. However, those idiots’ are far too lacking in discernment..."

"Yu Xuan!"

Suddenly, Jintian Qi roared, "I’m giving you three breaths to consider..."

Before he could finish, the closed courtyard doors opened and Lin Xun walked out.

Jintian Qi and the others were initially taken aback but soon burst into laughter, their eyes full of disdain.

See, wasn’t the Imperial Yu Clan expert obediently complying?

A pretty woman from the Jintian Clan group bossily jabbed her finger and coldly said, "You’re quite the tactful one. Get down on your knees and wait here. We’ll deal with you after we meet Liu Qingyan!"

However, Lin Xun ignored her and gazed at the group with an indifferent expression. "If you kill the young one, the old one definitely won't sit still. If that's the case, it should be okay to teach them a small lesson, right?"

"You dare to talk back?"

The pretty woman raised her hand to slap Lin Xun.

Piak!

A clear slap rang out.

However, it was the pretty woman who had been slapped. She was sent flying before crashing into the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose as her face grew red and swollen.

From start to end, not a single person had seen how Lin Xun had attacked.

Jintian Qi and the others were slightly taken aback, revealing looks of disbelief. How dare he...act out in front of them?

"Well, now you guys know that I not only dare to talk back but also fight back."

Lin Xun’s gaze was ice-cold.

"Kill! Kill him!"

The woman angrily shrieked with a distorted expression.

Rumble!

A muscular young man immediately summoned a heavy black sword. Mountain-like sword intent crushed the surrounding space as dreadful Law Power gushed forth.

Lin Xun inwardly sighed as he cast aside his reservations.

No one saw him move as another slap was heard.

The muscular young man was sent flying by a slap as if he had been struck by a divine mountain, causing him to scream like a pig that was being slaughtered.

He was left in a state more miserable than the woman from before. His face was caved in, his teeth were mostly knocked out, and his head was buzzing so wildly that he nearly saw stars and fainted.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp as their expressions abruptly changed.

The muscular young man was a supreme Saint-King. Although he had recently reached this realm, his combat power was not to be underestimated.

Yet, he was swatted away like a fly without being able to react.

"Didn’t you say his cultivation was at the Saint-King Stage?"

Jintian Qi's expression became cloudy as his eyes flickered in thought.

Wu Yunlian was also in disbelief and couldn’t help but ask, "Could Teacher-Uncle Yu Jun and the others...have been defeated by you?"

Lin Xun nonchalantly remarked, "At least you’re not a lost cause."

"That..." Wu Yunlian was utterly shocked by the revelation.

"What about you guys? Are you going to back down now that you understand or do we have to talk again after I slap some sense into each of you?"

Lin Xun looked at Jintian Qi and others.

Their expressions fluctuated indeterminately as they nearly exploded from anger.

Their Ancestor had scolded them, Liu Qingyan had rejected their invitation, and now even a mere guard dared to bully them!

Since when have we ever been treated like this?!

Never!

Jintian Qi roared, "Kill this bastard together!"

Piak!

As the words left his mouth, he received a solid slap to the face. His flesh seemed to mush together, leaving a clear bloody handprint.

"AAH..." Jintian Qi screamed as he tumbled across the ground.

Even he couldn’t survive a single exchange with Lin Xun!

Piak! Piak! Piak!

The crisp slapping sounds rang out in rapid succession as the Imperial Jintian Clan members were swatted away one after another.

Although they tried their best to resist, they were effortlessly subdued by Lin Xun as if they were nothing but chickens and dogs.

In the end, the courtyard entrance became a cacophony of screams piercing through the night sky.

On the ground, the Jintian Clan members had faces swollen like pigs, disheveled hair, and bloody mouths, making them look extremely miserable.

All of this had transpired in a matter of seconds!

Only Wu Yunlian was left standing there with a deathly pale face and a mind that had gone blank out of terror.

These were distinguished guests from the Imperial Jintian Clan!

Yet, they were beaten up on Whirlwind Ship...

When she thought of this, Wu Yunlian’s vision nearly faded to black and she thought it would be better to die.

Lin Xun walked forward and softly said, "I forgot to tell you one more thing. Yu Jun and the others...are dead."

Wu Yunlian felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her pupils dilated. In a fit of anxiety, she suddenly coughed blood.

"You...how can you dare to..."

She was about to go crazy due to disbelief.

Lin Xun looked up at the sky then looked around and sighed. "What else could I do? I tried to be low-key and tolerant but it only ended up making you guys view me as cowardly and a pushover. Miss, do you think I can continue to be tolerant given the current situation?"

Wu Yunlian appeared dazed and confused.

She couldn't understand.

Despite this, Lin Xun continued on and answered his own question, "I can’t. As long as Miss Qingyan is on this ship, there will be more and more trouble. Since I can't idly watch her be wronged...I have no choice but to make the first move."

Wu Yunlian instinctively asked, "Aren't you afraid of revenge?"

𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Lin Xun revealed a mocking smile. "What do you think?"

An inexplicable chill surged up Wu Yunlian. It felt as if she wasn’t standing before a person but a murderous god who filled her with incomparable terror.

He...who exactly was he?

Lin Xun's voice grew increasingly low. "I've heard that you’re the one who hates Miss Qingyun the most in Heavenly Sound Pavilion. However, that no longer matters."

Wu Yunlian shivered as she shrieked, "What are you planning?"

Before she could continue, Lin Xun placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, I'm merely freeing you from your troubles."

Shh~

Wu Yunlian suddenly began to wither as her vitality was rapidly extracted. In the end, she turned to dust.

With that final act, Lin Xun placed his hands behind his back and gazed into the distance.

He was waiting.

He had been maintaining a low profile and being tolerant for quite some time because he thought that Heavenly Sound Pavilion would back down after he dealt with the Primordial Dao Court experts.

It was only now that he realized he had been wrong.

Tolerance couldn’t solve the problem, nor could it help Liu Qingyan resolve her predicament!

For instance, if he hadn’t been present tonight, Liu Qingyan would have likely suffered at the hands of those Imperial Jintian Clan members.

"Scram."

Lin Xun lowered his head to glance at Jintian Qi and others.

The Jintian Clan members revealed hateful and resentful expressions as they climbed to their feet and left.

Lin Xun ignored them.

He knew that the old monster overseeing the Imperial Jintian Clan was already aware of what had occurred.

Not killing them was a show of respect and that he knew where to draw the line.

However, if they decided ignore his consideration, he would no longer hold back either!

"Brother, you're going to bring down the sky."

There was a peculiar expression in the hemp-clothed youth’s eyes.

"Bring down the sky? Don’t exaggerate, I was only rocking the boat a little."

Lin Xun nonchalantly said, "You'd best be less noisy later. Otherwise, your elder will be distressed again if you get implicated."

The hemp-clothed youth’s expression froze for a moment before he unhappily said, "You think this young master is afraid of trouble?"

Lin Xun asked back, "If you’re not afraid of trouble, why do you only lie on the wall and never come out?"

The hemp-clothed youth was silent. His expression fluctuated indeterminately as if he was internally struggling with something.

"Young Master, don't allow his words to affect you. Your path is different from his and there is no need to make things difficult for yourself."

The old woman suddenly appeared and consoled the hemp-clothed youth.

After which, she frostily glanced at Lin Xun. "You are a smart person. You must have noticed that a major disaster is imminent and it will be difficult to protect yourself. However, if you try to use such methods to drag the young master into the water as well, don't blame me for the consequences!"

"Drag him into the water?"

Lin Xun shook his head and smiled. He didn’t comment any further.

The hemp-clothed youth raised his head and was about to say something only to be pulled back into the courtyard by the old woman.

Meanwhile, her indifferent and cold voice sounded in Lin Xun's ears, "Young man, my young master has already been kind enough to take the blame for you once. Don’t think that just because we have given you an inch you can get a mile."

Her voice pulsed with intimidating supreme power!
