127: Chapter 127 Qin Xiaotian's Premeditated Scheme?

Jiang Yun carried the might of his Gold Rank Breakthrough.

His Aura was like a rainbow and his gaze like torches as he boldly issued a challenge once again!

That voice.

“Old fool, do you dare to fight?”

It was like a clap of thunder, exploding in the hearts of every member of the Qin Family, carrying unmatched confidence and a chilling killing intent.

The Qin Family camp was dead silent; the Faces of the remaining clansmen were filled with anger, humiliation, and a deeper sense of powerlessness and fear.

They glared at Jiang Yun, wishing they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, but reality was like a bucket of ice water, dousing all their impulses.

“Detestable! Damn it!” Countless Qin Family members roared frantically in their hearts.

Yet not a single person dared to voice a provocation again.

Qin Yang's eyes were blood-red, and his fists clenched until they creaked.

He wanted nothing more than to rush forward and fight Jiang Yun to the death, but his remaining rationality told him...

He couldn't!

Setting aside how much Jiang Yun's strength had skyrocketed now that he was in peak condition and his spirit beast had progressed further.

Could they even take him down?

Even if they could.

There was still Mayor Zhang Qing, who had been sitting steadily on the sidelines.

After witnessing Jiang Yun's Heaven-Defying Aptitude and potential, would he really sit by and watch the Qin Family strangle him?

The answer was obviously no!

Just as swords were drawn and bows were bent.

At the moment when the atmosphere was about to explode again.

Qin Xiaotian, the Qin Family Old Master who had been as silent as an abyss, finally spoke.

His voice carried a deliberately crafted exhaustion and raspiness, as if he had aged decades in an instant:

“Young friend Jiang Yun...”

He looked at Jiang Yun with a complex gaze, containing hatred and shock, but mostly a helpless concession.

“You... have already killed several Elders of my Qin Family and slain two of my sons... Enough blood has been shed. This matter... let it end here.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked.

Qin Yang snapped his head toward his father, his eyes filled with incomprehension and grief-stricken indignation, but upon meeting the old man's deep and obscure gaze, the question at the tip of his tongue was forced back down, leaving only a chest full of insoluble sorrow and humiliation.

He understood that the current situation was beyond their control.

Even his father, a Gold Rank Seventh Order Beast Tamer.

Could no longer suppress the current situation... Even the Old Master had personally backed down!

The members of the Qin Family felt a wave of sighing and desolation.

It seemed that the Qin Family, which had dominated C City for many years.

Truly had no way to deal with this youth today.

They could only swallow their broken teeth along with their blood.

A sharp light flashed in Mayor Zhang Qing's eyes; this Qin Xiaotian was shrewd and knew when to yield.

The current situation was clear at a glance.

If this continued, the Qin Family's casualties would only become more severe.

If they insisted on going head-to-head with Jiang Yun.

The Qin Family might be wiped out... With the Qin Family Old Master stepping back.

He was naturally happy to see it happen.

The Qin Family Old Master held a special status.

If the high-level members of the Qin Family were truly slaughtered by Jiang Yun alone in front of him, the Mayor, it would be a huge blow to the credibility of the Federation Officials and would easily alienate other Family powers.

He took a step forward.

His voice was calm yet carried an unquestionable authority.

“Jiang Yun, since Old Master Qin has said so, give this Mayor some Face today and let this matter rest for now, how about it?”

His gaze swept over the Qin Family crowd.

Finally landing on Qin Xiaotian.

His tone turned stern: “I, the Mayor, can guarantee here that I will be responsible for the safety of you and your Family from now on! At the same time, I also warn the Qin Family.”

His voice suddenly turned cold.

An Amethyst Rank pressure faintly began to spread.

“After today, if anything happens to Jiang Yun or his Family, regardless of whether it's related to your Qin Family, I will consider it your doing! When that time comes, don't blame me for being heartless; I will certainly make your Qin Family... pay an unbearable price!”

This was blatant favoritism and deterrence!

Naturally, it was also to allow this matter to end here.

Qin Xiaotian's expression remained unchanged.

He bowed slightly.

“The Mayor overstates things. Since I have spoken, I will naturally comply. The Qin Family will never again take action against young friend Jiang Yun or his Family.”

He agreed readily on the surface, as if he had truly resigned himself to fate.

Although Qin Yang and the other remaining high-level members of the Qin Family felt immense resentment, in the Face of the Mayor's absolute strength and power, they could only grit their teeth and bow their heads in compliance.

They knew that the compromise at this moment was to preserve the Qin Family's last bit of Origin Qi.

Even the Old Master wasn't confident in taking down the current Jiang Yun alone; if they continued to persist, they would only be seeking their own destruction.

Jiang Yun's brow furrowed slightly; the killing intent in his heart had not dissipated. The grudge formed today was irreconcilable, and letting the tiger return to the mountain would lead to endless trouble.

However, Mayor Zhang Qing had protected him all along and even personally stood up for him; he couldn't refuse this favor.

“Fine! Since the Mayor has said so, I will stop.”

Jiang Yun said coldly.

He agreed on the surface.

But the killing intent in his heart did not diminish.

“Qin Family! When I reach a higher Realm in the future and no longer need to heed anyone's whims or require anyone's protection, that will be the day of your destruction! This Qin Family, I will surely destroy it!”

He took a deep breath, suppressing the roiling killing intent.

He cupped his hands toward Zhang Qing.

His voice was calm but carried a hint of inviolable majesty.

“Since the Mayor has spoken, I naturally have no objection. I also hope the Qin Family... behaves themselves and honors the agreement.”

He said it with his mouth.

But anyone could hear the lingering chill in his words.

Zhang Qing nodded in satisfaction.

A smile appeared on his Face.

He didn't care if Jiang Yun would destroy the Qin Family later.

He wasn't worried about this matter.

Even if Jiang Yun destroyed the Qin Family as soon as he turned to leave, he wouldn't say anything.

He also believed that Jiang Yun now had the capability and strength.

It was just that he was present now.

He represented the Federation Alliance officials.

For Jiang Yun to destroy a Family under their Alliance's management right under his nose... that naturally wouldn't do.

“Very good! A young man who understands the situation has a limitless future! This Mayor looks forward to you shining brilliantly in the Provincial Capital!”

He patted Jiang Yun's shoulder, his tone certain.

“Rest assured, with this Mayor here, the Qin Family will never dare to touch you or your Family again! You can leave in peace.”

Having said that.

He didn't stay any longer.

Taking along Lin Hai and Zhao Qian, who had varying expressions.

He left leisurely.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaotian...

Cast a gloomy glance at Jiang Yun.

He waved his hand and said in a low voice: “All Qin Family disciples, go back. A few of you stay behind to clean up... clean up the... remains of the Elders.”

He deliberately paused on the word “remains.”

Carrying endless regret and desolation.

Qin Yang glared viciously at Jiang Yun.

The resentment in that gaze almost solidified.

But in the end, he didn't dare to say another word, following his Old Master back into the Qin Family Villa with heavy steps under the grief-stricken gazes of the Qin clansmen.

Jiang Yun watched them leave indifferently.

With a thought, he recalled Little Fire, who was surrounded by water and fire and looked extraordinary, back into the Beast Taming Space.

Letting Little Fire recover properly in the Beast Taming Space.

His gaze swept over the Common Qin Family clansmen and guards who had not yet dispersed.

Everyone swept by his gaze trembled, as if targeted by a prehistoric Vicious Beast; their Faces instantly lost color, and their eyes were filled with extreme fear.

They instinctively backed away, huddling together and shivering, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Some with weaker psychological fortitude even had their legs go soft and collapsed directly onto the ground.

This was the god of slaughter who had just killed two Gold Rank experts and several Silver Rank Elders right before their eyes!

Now he had even broken through to the Gold Rank, his strength unfathomable!

Killing them, these Black Iron and Bronze ranks... would likely be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

Jiang Yun ignored these ant-like characters; his gaze crossed the crowd and landed on the figure in the corner who had been watching tensely.

“Mom.”

He walked over quickly, the coldness on his Face melting instantly, replaced by a gentle smile.

Wang Xinmei had been in the corner with her heart in her throat; watching her son fight powerful enemies, she was anxious, but she knew well that going up would only make her a burden, so she could only cover her mouth tightly to keep from interfering with her son.

Seeing her son safe and sound, and even stronger now, her hanging heart finally settled; her eyes instantly reddened as she grabbed Jiang Yun's hand, looking him up and down.

“Xiao Yun, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? You scared Mom to death!”

“Mom, I'm fine, look, I'm perfectly okay.”

Jiang Yun let his mother check him, a relaxed smile on his Face: “Not only am I fine, but your son has become stronger. From now on, no one will be able to bully us again.”

Wang Xinmei looked at her son's confident and steady Face, feeling the powerful sense of self-assurance radiating from him that was completely different from before.

She finally smiled with relief.

The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out as she nodded repeatedly.

“Good, good. Mom doesn't care if you become stronger or not, and I don't want you to fight with these people and get into danger. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters...”

Jiang Yun supported his mother.

Under the fearful and awe-struck gazes of the Qin Family members.

He left calmly.

It wasn't until his back disappeared around the street corner that those Qin Family members breathed a sigh of relief as if exhausted; some began to tremblingly clean up the remains that were almost turned to ash, the air filled with the sorrow of having survived a disaster and the Family's misfortune.

This battle shocked the Qin Family!

It would surely spread throughout C City soon!

Jiang Yun's name would become even more resonant!

Jiang Yun would become the youngest Gold Rank Beast Tamer in C City!

A sixteen years old Gold Rank Beast Tamer!

This would likely cause a massive sensation anywhere!

...Qin Family, Meeting Hall.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

The Elder seats that were originally fully occupied.

Were now more than half empty.

Only a few people remained, making it seem incredibly empty and desolate.

Bang!

Qin Yang could no longer restrain himself.

He slammed a fist hard onto the heavy sandalwood table.

Leaving a clear fist print.

His eyes were blood-red as he roared, “Is that it?! I'm not satisfied! Father! Let me take men and assassinate that kid tonight!”

The remaining few Elders were also filled with indignation.

They all chimed in, wanting to avenge the deceased clansmen.

“Nonsense!”

Qin Xiaotian suddenly snapped his half-closed eyes open and shouted sternly, “That Jiang Yun's strength is now unfathomable, and his spirit beast is even more strangely powerful with extraordinary combat strength. If you go now, you'll just be sending yourself to your death and adding pointless casualties!”

“Father! Are we not going to avenge Big Brother, Third Brother, and my Feng'er?!”

Qin Yang completely lost control of his emotions, tears streaming down his Face: “If I don't kill him! If I don't kill all of his friends and Family! My hatred will never be appeased! My resentment will never vanish!”

Qin Xiaotian looked at his grief-stricken son.

A trace of deep-seated pain and killing intent also flashed in his eyes.

He let out a long sigh, his voice low and slow.

“This boy and his spirit beast... their talent is the most terrifying I have seen in my life. That spirit beast seems to have the potential to transform into a Dragon, with infinite potential. At such an age, he is already a Gold Rank Beast Tamer, and the speed at which his spirit beast improves is that of a Prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years!”

He paused, his tone becoming incredibly solemn.

“Since a death grudge has been formed and cannot be resolved, if we don't take the opportunity to eradicate him before he has fully grown, our Qin Family's centuries-old foundation will surely be destroyed and in imminent danger!”

He slowly stood up.

His originally stooped body seemed to straighten a bit.

A resolute and cold Aura spread out.

“I... am old now, my blood and Qi are failing, and perhaps I am of little use.”

His gaze swept over the few remaining Family pillars present, finally landing on Qin Yang.

“Qin Long and Qin Hu have both met with disaster, and the Family's foundation is shaken. The future of the Qin Family must ultimately be placed in your hands. Let me, this old man with one foot in the grave... finally fight with these old bones for the sake of the Qin Family's future.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang's whole body shook violently.

He looked at his father with a Face full of sorrow.

“Father! You're going alone? That kid's combat power is strange; when he was at the Silver Rank, even Big Brother... Although you are at the Gold Rank Seventh Order, in a one-on-one, I'm afraid also...”

“Enough!”

Qin Xiaotian raised his hand, interrupting his son's words.

A strange and cold smile appeared on his Face.

“I know what you're worried about. Relying on me alone, I indeed don't have absolute certainty that I can take down that strange kid. However...”

A glint of shrewd, calculating coldness flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his voice: “Although I have long resided within the Qin Family, I am not entirely ignorant of the outside world. Do you know that this Jiang Yun has offended more than just our Qin Family? He has already provoked a... presence more terrifying and mysterious than our Qin Family...”

He looked at the shocked expressions of his son and the Elders.

He said slowly: “You need not ask further about the matters to follow, nor must you let the Qin Family become involved. Everything will be handled entirely by me. What you must do is stabilize the Family and wait for news.”

“Zhang Qing, I did not want to betray the Alliance, but you chose to stand behind that boy, forcing my Qin Family into a situation beyond redemption... For the Qin Family, everything is worth it...”

...
