The news of Lin Yun crippling a Jiang Family disciple and stripping his clothes and parading him through the streets spread like a plague in Qingyun City.
Once the news spread, the entire Qingyun City was in an uproar.
The citizens discussed and evaluated Lin Yun, and even gave Lin Yun the title of "madman".
Some people said that Lin Yun was arrogant and seeking his own death. He even dared to cripple a Jiang Family disciple. This was the behavior of a madman!
There were also people who admired Lin Yun. They thought that Lin Yun was not afraid of power and was a hot-blooded man.
But when it came to Lin Yun's fate, they all shook their heads.
In just two days, the news of Lin Yun spread to the Jiang Family of Yuzhou.
A few days later.
South of Qingyun City, outside the Xiao Family's courtyard.
A carriage pulled by a Snow Dragon Horse slowly stopped outside the Xiao Family's courtyard.
The curtain of the gorgeous carriage was pulled open by a hand wearing several jade rings.
A thirty year old youth in embroidered robes jumped out of the carriage.
This youth wore a jade crown on his head, a diamond-studded sword at his waist, and several jade rings on his fingers. It was obvious that he was a wealthy person.
Seeing this, the Xiao Family's guard hurriedly pulled back the Snow Dragon Horse and bowed to the youth with the jade crown. He said respectfully: "Lord Jiang, please enter the house. The Patriarch has been waiting for a long time."
The youth with the jade crown did not reply. Instead, he went straight into the Xiao Family's courtyard.
There were four people sitting in the Xiao Family's living room.
These four people were Xiao Batian, Lin Tianying, and two middle-aged men in their fifties.
One of them was tall and thin. His legs were longer than ordinary people. When he stood straight, he looked like a locust tree that had risen from the ground.
The other person was tall and sturdy. His muscles were like steel, and he looked like a water buffalo with rough skin and thick flesh.
Like Xiao Batian, both of them were eighth level Martial Warriors. Their strength was second only to Xiao Batian.
When they saw the youth with the jade crown arrive, the four people in the living room stood up to greet him.
"Brother Jiang, you're finally here. Please take a seat."
Xiao Batian immediately gestured for the youth to sit at the head of the table, then introduced him to the crowd, "This is the Jiang Family's Great Deacon, Jiang Shian."
After introducing the crowned youth's identity, Xiao Batian introduced everyone to the crowned youth.
"This is the patriarch of the Chu Clan, Chu Beipo." Xiao Batian pointed at the tall and thin middle-aged man.
"This is the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Zhuangqiang." Xiao Batian pointed at the tall and sturdy middle-aged man.
"This is the head of the Lin Family, Lin Tianying." When introducing Lin Tianying, Xiao Batian didn't address him as the Lin Family's Grand Elder, but as the Patriarch. Clearly, he had already recognized Lin Tianying as the current Patriarch of the Lin Family.
"So, it's the Jiang Family's Grand Deacon. It's an honor to meet you," Li Zhuangqiang said politely to Jiang Shian with cupped fists.
Lin Tianying exclaimed, "As expected of the deacon of the number one family in Yu Province. To be able to reach the ninth level of the Martial Warrior Realm at such a young age, this one is truly flabbergasted!"
Jiang Shian, who originally had a cold expression on his face, immediately revealed a hearty smile after being praised by Lin Tianying. "You flatter me, you flatter me. Compared to the elders in the clan, my realm is only at the bottom."
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but gasp.
The ninth level of the Martial Warrior Realm was only at the bottom of the Jiang Family's elders?
From this, it could be imagined that the elders of the Jiang Family were at least Martial Masters!
This also indirectly reflected the strength of the Jiang Family's influence.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Shian went straight to the point. "I heard that there's a madman called Lin Yun in Clear Cloud City who crippled a disciple of the Jiang Family. My purpose in coming to Clear Cloud City this time is to get rid of this person under the orders of the family. "
"I believe that everyone is like me and wants to get rid of this person. That's why we've gathered here today."
Hearing Jiang Shian's words, the crowd nodded.
Regardless of whether it was Xiao Batian or Lin Tianying, they all had an irreconcilable grudge against Lin Yun. There was no way they would let Lin Yun go.
This gathering of the four great families was also initiated by Xiao Batian.
Although the other two great families, the Chu Family and the Li Family, did not have a deep grudge against Lin Yun, this included Lin Yun injuring their top geniuses during the Martial Selection. This caused them to feel jealousy and hatred towards Lin Yun.
It was precisely because of this that they were invited to the Xiao Family today.
Lin Tianying cupped his fists and said, "I am ashamed to say this, but this Lin Yun is the unfilial son of the Lin Family. For him to do such a thing, my Lin Family also has some responsibility. Brother Jiang, if you need anything, please let me know. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. "
Chu Beipo and Li Zhuangqiang also expressed their willingness to help Jiang Shian get rid of Lin Yun.
After receiving the unanimous support of the four great families, Jiang Shian continued, "Lin Yun has been recruited by the Yuzhou Martial House. Although he is not an official disciple, he still enjoys the protection of an official disciple."
"If we want to get rid of Lin Yun, we need to find a convincing reason. Otherwise, the Yuzhou Martial House will not sit idly by."
Hearing this, everyone nodded. They all knew that the Yuzhou Martial House would provide protection to all official disciples of the Yuzhou Martial House.
No matter who dared to make a move against a disciple of the Yuzhou Martial House, the Yuzhou Martial House would not sit idly by.
Moreover, the background of the Yuzhou Martial House was unimaginably powerful.
The Yuzhou Martial House was not a martial house established by the Yuzhou Martial House. Instead, it was a branch established by the Southern Summer King in the main city of Yuzhou.
In other words, the Yuzhou Martial House was not under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou, but directly under the jurisdiction of the Southern Summer Kingdom. Even the Yuzhou City Lord did not have the right to interfere with the Yuzhou Martial House.
Although the Jiang Family was the number one great family in Yuzhou, they did not dare to offend the authority of the Yuzhou Martial House and attack Lin Yun without any reason.
"Although Lin Yun crippled a disciple of the Jiang Family, it was still a result of a martial arts competition. If I use this reason to get rid of him, the Yuzhou Martial House will think that it is a bit far-fetched. "Jiang Shian said in a suggestive tone.
Lin Tianying immediately revealed a smile of understanding. "Lin Yun has recently grasped a mysterious sword technique. His sword technique is incomparably profound, and its might is heaven-defying. Even the Grass Cutting Sword Technique cultivated by the number one swordsman of Azure Cloud City is far inferior to his sword technique."
"In my opinion, in the entire Yuzhou County, only the Jiang Family has such a heaven defying sword technique. Therefore, I suspect that the sword technique that Lin Yun mastered was stolen from the Jiang Family! "
Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Shian's mouth curled into a sinister sneer, "Now that you mention it, I remember. Three months ago, our Jiang Family's forbidden area was broken into and the core inheritance of the Jiang Family was mysteriously stolen. The thief has yet to be found. "
Lin Tianying also laughed sinisterly, "Then this matter is almost certain to be true. Besides Lin Yun, who else could the thief be? "
"Including Lin Yun, I'm afraid that the Jiang Family stole not only the sword technique, right?" Xiao Batian suddenly interjected.
