Looking at Lin Yun's departing back view, everyone present did not utter a word. Endless shock was written all over their eyes.
Shangguan Ruiqian.
That was not only the Shangguan Family's young master, but also the special envoy sent by the Southern Summer King!
And Lin Yun actually did not even blink and decisively crippled him directly!
Including Ren Tanqian, the Martial House's upper echelons, all had faces full of shock and panic at this time.
This time, it was really completely over!
The special envoy sent by the Southern Summer King was crippled. Such a major matter, how were they going to account to the Southern Summer King?
"Lin Yun, you... you're really too impulsive! How could you cripple the special envoy? This time, you've really caused a huge disaster! " Ren Tanqian sighed with a face full of vexation. If he knew it would be like this, he should have made a move earlier to stop it.
Lin Yun who was currently walking paused his footsteps. Then, he turned around and said to Ren Tanqian, "So what if he's a special envoy? Even if the sovereign king offends me, I'll still cripple him without hesitation! "
When Lin Yun's words finished, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Lin Yun in shock and could not help sucking in a deep breath of cold air.
Not even placing the sovereign king in his eyes. How was this just arrogance?
This was simply looking down on the common people!
"Scram back and help me tell your grandfather that if he dares to have designs on my divine sword again, I'll definitely make the Shangguan Family walk towards destruction!" Lin Yun shot a glance at Shangguan Ruiqian after he finished talking.
What kind of pair of eyes were those?
Simply like the eyes of a devil!
Shangguan Ruiqian was frightened until he shuddered and hurriedly curled up.
Lin Yun's deep and cold gaze made him feel fear and tremble from the depths of his soul.
After leaving behind these words, Lin Yun turned around and left. That confident and unrestrained back view slowly disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Everyone prostrated themselves in admiration towards Lin Yun.
His arrogance reached a whole new height. It was simply arrogant until it made people gasp in amazement!
Even if he was executed in the future, his magnificent feat today would absolutely be left in history and passed down from generation to generation.
…
The news that Kang Nam-gun had been killed by Lin Yun in the duel reached the Jiang Family that very night.
That night, everyone in the Jiang Family, from the higher-ups to the servants, from the elders to the disciples, were shrouded in grief as they mourned the passing of their Young Master.
Kang Nam-gun was the strongest genius in the history of the Jiang family.
Jiang Shijian had pinned all of the Jiang family's future hopes on Kang Nam-gun.
He firmly believed that as long as Kang Nam-gun was given another twenty years, Kang Nam-gun would be able to grow into a powerhouse like the Marquis of Yuzhou. He would become a pillar of the kingdom and contribute to the kingdom, replacing the Marquis of Yuzhou as the next Marquis.
At that time, the Jiang Clan would be able to achieve unlimited glory, swallow the other three clans, and unify the entire Yuzhou County.
All these beautiful wishes seemed to be within reach because of Kang Nam-gun.
But he never thought that Kang Nam-gun would actually perish in Lin Yun's hands in the duel!
In the dead of the night, Jiang Shijian stood alone in the Jiang Family's courtyard and roared at the sky at the top of his lungs, "Lin Yun, I swear that I'll definitely tear you to shreds with my own hands!"
…
Early the next morning.
Shangguan Ruiqian returned to the capital in a sorry state.
And the news of him being slapped in the face by Lin Yun in public and even having his arm crippled spread throughout the entire Yuzhou City like a plague.
The entire city's streets and alleys, everyone was discussing Lin Yun.
No matter which corner, Lin Yun's deeds could always become the topic that the common people took great delight in talking about after a meal or a tea.
Some people felt deep admiration for Lin Yun's courage in not fearing power.
There were also people who felt that Lin Yun was a lunatic. His actions were courting death!
All in all, Lin Yun this name became the focus of the public once again.
And his reputation also resounded throughout the entire Yuzhou City once more.
In order to protect Lin Yun, the Marquis of Yuzhou and Ren Tanqian both set off together and headed to the capital to plead on Lin Yun's behalf.
Lin Yun slew demons and saved millions of Ji Province's people. His contributions could not go unnoticed.
Hence, even if he crippled Shangguan Ruiqian's arm, it could also make up for the crime with his meritorious service.
Moreover, the cause of this matter was still Shangguan Ruiqian abusing his personal power, borrowing the convenience of his position to seek personal benefits from Lin Yun.
He believed that as long as the truth of the matter was made public, the Southern Summer King would not offend Lin Yun either.
After the Marquis of Yuzhou and Ren Tanqian set off for the capital, a violent storm was silently brewing in Yuzhou City.
On that day, the Long Family's Family Head, Long Batian, and the Ye Family's Family Head, Ye Wudao, received an invitation letter from the Jiang Family at the same time.
That night, Long Batian and Ye Wudao both came to the Jiang Family.
Jiang Shijian was already waiting in the Jiang Family's main hall. When he saw the two of them, he immediately welcomed them warmly.
After drinking a cup of tea, Jiang Shijian got straight to the point and said, "This time, I called the two Patriarchs here for only one purpose, and that is to eradicate the scourge Lin Yun!
"I believe you have heard that Lin Yun crippled the special envoy sent by the Southern Summer King yesterday. This is a capital crime!
"Now that Lin Yun is in the limelight, even if we use this as an excuse to get rid of him, the Southern Summer King will not blame us. Who knows, we might even be able to make a contribution."
A sinister glint flashed in Jiang Shijian's eyes. He wished he could hack Lin Yun into a thousand pieces. "Moreover, the most important thing is that the Marquis of Yuzhou and Ren Tanqian have already set off for the capital. Without these two backers, we only need to face the Yun Family, which is a heaven-sent opportunity to eradicate Lin Yun!
"If the Yun Family dares to protect Lin Yun, we will have an excuse to get rid of the Yun Family as well!"
At this point, Jiang Shijian suddenly tightened his grip on the teacup and crushed it. The tea splashed all over the table.
Hearing Jiang Shijian's words, Long Batian and Ye Wudao looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
Ever since the battle with the Yun Family, the Long and Ye Families had suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin Yun. They also deeply hated Lin Yun, but it was not to the point of fighting to the death.
The Jiang Family's young master, Kang Nam-gun, had died at the hands of Lin Yun. The Jiang Family wanted to kill Lin Yun at all costs, so the two families did not dare to go crazy with them.
Long Batian took the lead and said, "Although Lin Yun is at the heart of the struggle, he is still a core disciple of the Yuzhou Martial House. Even if he has committed such a great crime, it should be dealt with by the martial house. "
Ye Wudao nodded and said, "Furthermore, Lin Yun killed a demon recently and saved the Ji Province, making a great contribution. It's hard to say how the Southern Summer King will deal with him. If we execute him in private, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain later. "
Jiang Shijian looked at Long Batian and Ye Wudao with a resolute gaze. "Patriarchs, you don't need to worry. We are not executing him in private. There is another bigshot who also wants Lin Yun's life!
"With this bigshot's support, the two patriarchs do not need to worry about explaining to the higher-ups."
Hearing Jiang Shijian's words, Long Batian and Ye Wudao looked at each other again.
Long Batian then asked, "May I ask who this bigshot is?"
