Chapter 731 - 730: Spare No One

Chapter 731: Chapter 730: Spare No One

Lin Yun had never even heard of this Li Family. Besides, with his current cultivation and strength, it was impossible for him to concern himself with a tiny place like Wind City anymore.

Lin Yun’s focus was now on the entire Eastern Domain, so he was completely oblivious to this Li Family that had suddenly appeared.

Upon hearing Lin Yun’s question, Patriarch He began to explain in detail. What had happened to the Lin Family had left him utterly terrified, so he didn’t dare hide a single thing when facing Lin Yun’s inquiry.

According to Patriarch He, the Taiqing Academy’s domain had recently fallen into chaos. As a result, many Celestial Spirit Realm experts who had originally resided there fled to Wind City.

These Celestial Spirit Realm experts who arrived in Wind City soon joined the city’s various major families, becoming their Honored Guest Elders.

Take the He and Bai Families, for example. Both had now taken in no fewer than five Celestial Spirit Realm experts who fled from the Taiqing Academy’s domain.

With a large influx of Celestial Spirit Realm experts into Wind City, the overall strength of the city’s major clans increased dramatically. However, this growth also naturally led to a culling of the weak.

The Li Family was the one that emerged during this time. Somehow, they managed to recruit four Celestial Spirit Realm experts as their Honored Guest Elders.

Their overall strength skyrocketed. In just one month, they transformed from a little-known minor family into the third-strongest clan in Wind City, their power second only to the Bai and He Families.

As Lin Yun listened to Patriarch He’s explanation, he understood. ’So that’s what happened.’ Still, there was one thing he found strange. Looking at Bai Ling and Patriarch He, Lin Yun asked again.

"With the Li Family’s sudden rise, didn’t your two families do anything to control them? I put Wind City under your management, and you can’t even keep a minor family like the Li Family in check?"

Lin Yun’s doubt was simple. The He and Bai Families were the undisputed leading clans of Wind City. Would they really just stand by and watch the Li Family’s unstoppable expansion?

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, Bai Ling gave a wry smile. "Young Palace Master, there’s something you’re unaware of. The Li Family is very close with two Main Seat Elders from the Flawless Palace. When the Li Family began their sudden rise, those two Main Seat Elders personally came to Wind City to see me and Patriarch He. Because of them, we didn’t make things too difficult for the Li Family."

’So that was it.’ Two Main Seat Elders had personally visited the Bai and He Families to put in a good word for them, which was why Bai Ling and Patriarch He had allowed the Li Family to expand so wantonly.

However, that was all in the past. From this day forward, the Li Family would cease to exist in Wind City.

Now that he knew the story, Lin Yun looked at Patriarch He and Bai Ling, a faint Dragon’s Suppression emanating from him. As they felt his power, Patriarch He and Bai Ling were instantly crushed by an immense pressure.

"A bunch of dancing clowns," Lin Yun said coldly. "I don’t care what methods you use, but by dawn, I want the Li Family gone from Wind City. From top to bottom, leave no man or beast alive. However, you are to capture the Li Family’s Patriarch and those four Honored Guest Elders alive and bring them back to me."

Lin Yun would show the Li Family no mercy. The moment he thought of his father hanging outside the Li Family’s gates, subjected to the mockery of their members, the killing intent in his heart surged uncontrollably.

As for the Li Family, Lin Yun wouldn’t even spare a dog.

Hearing Lin Yun’s command, Patriarch He and Bai Ling hastily rose to their feet. They answered respectfully, guaranteeing that the task would be done.

"I’ll have Little Ape go with you. And remember," Lin Yun reminded them again, "for the Li Family, I want not a single soul left."

Lin Yun was sending Little Ape with them to ensure there were no mistakes. Little Ape was now a Tier Five Demon Beast, comparable in strength to a supreme expert of the Spirit Realm. With Little Ape present, the Li Family stood no chance.

After respectfully exiting the main hall, Bai Ling and Patriarch He rushed back to their respective families without a moment’s delay. They immediately gathered all their guards and set out for the Li Family estate.

Following Bai Ling, the Bai Family’s five Honored Guest Elders had no idea what was going on, or why she had suddenly decided to move against the Li Family.

"Patriarch, why are we attacking the Li Family in the middle of the night?" one of the Honored Guest Elders asked.

Hearing his words, Bai Ling snapped back, "Because the Li Family has offended the heavens. This time, no one can save them."

Hearing this, the five Honored Guest Elders behind Bai Ling were baffled. ’What did the Li Family do? Why would she say they’ve offended the heavens?’

Without explaining further, Bai Ling soon led several hundred Bai Family guards to the Li Family estate. At that very moment, Patriarch He arrived with his own He Family Guards, appearing at almost the same time.

The members of the He Family looked at the members of the Bai Family, and the Bai Family members looked back. None of them knew what the Li Family had done to warrant the two great Patriarchs of Wind City launching a joint, late-night assault.

Little Ape leaped up, landing on the crossbeam above the Li Family’s main gate. He showed no intention of attacking immediately.

The command was roared to the crowd behind them, "Tonight, we eradicate the Li Family! Leave no one alive! Remember, not a single member of the Li Family is to be spared."

Patriarch He and Bai Ling gave the order simultaneously. Just as their voices faded, over a hundred people emerged from within the Li Family’s courtyard gates. Leading them was the Patriarch of the Li Family, with his four Honored Guest Elders behind him.

"Patriarch Bai, Patriarch He, it is quite late. What is the meaning of mobilizing your forces like this?" Patriarch Li asked politely, looking at the two of them.

"Hmph! You seem rather relaxed, Patriarch Li. Are you aware that your family has offended the heavens? After tonight, the Li Family will be no more in Wind City!" At this point, Patriarch He had no intention of showing any courtesy and immediately roared in anger.

Hearing Patriarch He’s words, Patriarch Li was puzzled. ’I haven’t done anything these past few days, have I? The only thing was forcibly seizing that piece of land from the Lin Family.’ Of course, Patriarch Li had no idea that was Lin Yun’s family.

"Patriarch Li, since you don’t know, allow me to enlighten you before you die," Bai Ling said with equal coldness. "Did you, or did you not, send men to cause trouble at the southern plot of land the day before yesterday? And did you, or did you not, capture a man and hang him outside your Li Family’s main gate for an entire day?"

Hearing Bai Ling’s words, Patriarch Li nodded. ’But how could such a trivial matter be considered offending the heavens?’

"Patriarch Bai, that did indeed happen. But how can such a trivial matter be considered offending the heavens?" Patriarch Li asked.

"Hmph, a trivial matter?" Bai Ling sneered. "Do you know who that estate belongs to now? It’s the Lin Family’s! And do you know who that man was, the one you hung outside your gates for a whole day? He is the father of Young Palace Master Lin Yun!"

Hearing her words, Patriarch Li froze. ’Young Palace Master Lin Yun?’
