Chapter 229 A Sudden Moment of Danger! The Elder cried out urgently: "He's Jiang Yun!"

Just as Jiang Yun was secretly on guard.

Guessing whether this newly appeared, dignified middle-aged man was truly the "old one" coming after the "little one" was beaten... and thinking about how to respond.

"Eldest Uncle! Eldest Uncle! Save me, Eldest Uncle!"

A shrill cry mixed with infinite grievance and terror suddenly broke the silence of the scene.

Su Mingxuan, who was originally supported by the guards and in a wretched state, seemed to have been suddenly injected with a stimulant. He abruptly broke free from the guards' hands and scrambled toward the middle-aged man.

The clothes on his back were shredded, his wounds were still seeping blood, and his Face was a mess of dust and blood. Combined with his terrified appearance of tears and snot, he looked as pathetic as could be.

He threw himself in front of the middle-aged man.

Like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.

He tightly gripped the hem of the other's robes.

Wailing.

"Eldest Uncle! You must stand up for me! That... that damned fellow! He... he wants to kill me! He really wanted to kill me! If you hadn't arrived in time, your nephew... your nephew might never have seen you and Father again!"

He was hysterical.

Emphasizing the two words "kill me" particularly heavily.

At the same time, he desperately exaggerated his narrow escape from death.

Eldest Uncle?

Jiang Yun's heart stirred.

His gaze fell upon the middle-aged man once more.

This person had an elegant countenance.

He shared five or six parts similarity with Su Yuntian, but his features were more rigid. Between his brows resided a serious Aura of dignity without anger, and his gaze was sharp as a hawk's. At this moment, following Su Mingxuan's tearful complaint, he slowly scanned the mess at the scene.

The shattered ground, the scorched and curled vegetation, the groaning injured guards—finally, that sharp gaze, as if tangible, locked firmly onto Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun understood instantly.

This person was likely Su Yuntian's Elder brother.

The Eldest Lord of the Su Family.

Su Qinghai!

The one who was said to be away handling important Family matters year-round, rarely involving himself in specific mundane affairs, yet held a revered status.

He hadn't expected.

That the one who came wasn't Su Mingxuan's biological father.

But rather this even more heavyweight Eldest Uncle.

Su Qinghai's brow furrowed slightly.

Looking at the nephew before him crying uncontrollably, then at the scene, and finally, his gaze rested on Jiang Yun's excessively calm Face.

He spoke in a deep voice, not loud.

But carrying heavy pressure.

"Who is so bold as to openly commit violence within my Su Family courtyard and attempt to harm a disciple of my Su Family?"

Just as his voice fell.

Another change occurred.

"Bastard! Who has the audacity to touch my, Su Qingshan's, son?!"

A roar like muffled thunder.

Carrying rolling fury.

Approaching from afar, it exploded with a crash!

Before the voice had even faded.

Several figures had already swept onto the scene like a gust of wind.

The one in the lead.

He was tall and burly, with a leopard-like head and round eyes, a full beard, and dressed in black martial attire. His entire body emitted a wild and blazing Aura like an impending volcanic eruption. He was the Second Lord of the Su Family, Su Mingxuan's father.

Su Qingshan!

His eyes spat fire as he scanned the entire field.

The terrifying pressure belonging to a Diamond Peak Beast Tamer was released without concealment, making the air seem to solidify a bit.

Following closely behind.

Were seven or eight high-level members of the Su Family with steady breaths. Among them were several Elders Jiang Yun had seen on the day he entered the manor, including the Grand Elder who appreciated him quite a bit.

Although Jiang Yun didn't recognize the others, judging by their bearing, they were clearly core figures of the Su Family.

The sudden arrival of this group.

Caused the already tense atmosphere in front of the Yunqi Courtyard.

To instantly climb to its Peak!

Seeing this formation, the five guards.

Had long since experienced their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

They hurriedly bowed in greeting, not daring to lift their heads.

"Greetings, Second Lord! Greetings, Elders!"

Seeing his father's arrival.

Su Mingxuan felt as if he had found his greatest backer. He immediately let go of Su Qinghai's robes, scrambled to Su Qingshan's feet, hugged his father's leg, and tearfully filed his complaint, performing the act of the villain suing first to the fullest.

"Father! Father, you've finally come! It's him! It's this one from an insignificant branch who doesn't know the height of the heavens! Relying on his bit of strength and having contracted a strange beast, he not only spoke insolently to me and disregarded our Su Family's etiquette, but when I gave him a slight reprimand, he actually dared to try and kill me! Look! Look at this wound on my back! It was his beast that struck me on his orders! He even told my guards that he only used ten percent of his strength just now and would use a hundred percent to kill me next time! He is simply lawless and treats our Su Family as nothing, Father!"

As he wailed.

He deliberately twisted his body.

To show the wound on his back, which looked frightening but hadn't actually harmed his bones and was mostly a flesh wound. At the same time, he took Jiang Yun's warning—that he hadn't intended to kill him.

And distorted it into a threat full of killing intent.

"Hm?!"

Su Qingshan already had a fiery temper.

Hearing his son's exaggerated and biased wailing, and seeing the scars and miserable state on his son's back, the fire of anger in his chest was instantly ignited to the extreme!

He abruptly looked up.

Savage light burst from those round eyes, like a tiger choosing someone to devour, as he stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, who was faintly separated on the other side by several Elders!

"Kid! You have quite the nerve!"

Su Qingshan's voice was like a thunderclap.

Making one's eardrums buzz.

"Someone from some remote branch, who luckily entered the gates of our Su Family Main Family, doesn't think of gratitude but dares to act wildly in our Su Family's main house, and even dares to claim he'll kill Su Qingshan's son?! You're simply tired of living!"

He took a step forward.

The bluestone ground seemed to tremble.

A violent Aura crushed toward Jiang Yun like a landslide or a tsunami!

"State your dog name! Once I've crippled you, I will completely wipe the name of such a heartless wretch from my Su Family Genealogy! The Su Family has no room for such a madman!"

As he spoke.

Linking the contract with the beast in his Beast Taming Space.

The Aura around Su Qingshan surged.

The terrifying Diamond Peak Aura erupted without reservation, locking onto Jiang Yun. He was clearly about to strike ruthlessly in the next moment to cripple him on the spot!

In his eyes.

Someone from a branch daring to harm his beloved son was heinous and deserved death!

The reason didn't matter.

What mattered was the result.

His son had been beaten!

Diamond Peak!

Jiang Yun's heart tightened.

Feeling that terrifying pressure, which was almost tangible and nearly crushed his bones, his breathing hitched!

Although it was very ordinary in the Provincial Capital.

It was far beyond what a Gold Rank could compare to.

Facing the unreasonable rage and crushing force of such a powerhouse.

Jiang Yun knew he could absolutely not resist with force.

His thoughts turned rapidly.

He had already prepared for the worst.

Instantly activating the Eclipsing Moon Rank defensive treasure, mystic tortoise spirit armor, obtained from Vice Dean Yan Song as an apology!

This was currently his only life-saving trump card. Although he didn't know how many full-strength strikes from a Diamond Peak powerhouse it could withstand, it could at least buy a glimmer of hope.

It was also his only means of resisting a Brick Stone Rank powerhouse.

He secretly felt lucky that he hadn't hesitated to accept this treasure before; otherwise, facing a domineering and unreasonable protective parent like Su Qingshan today, he might truly have fallen into a desperate situation.

This scene.

Also caused the expressions of several Elders, who had met Jiang Yun once.

And knew a bit of the inside story, to change drastically!

They recognized Jiang Yun!

Wasn't this the sixteen years old Gold Rank Genius matrilocal son-in-law who entered the Su Family yesterday, was solemnly announced by the Patriarch to be exceptionally listed in the Ancestral Hall, and was hailed as the future hope of the Su Family?!

These Elders had either heard of or personally seen the extraordinary nature of his beast during his performance that day. Combined with the Patriarch's attitude, they all understood Jiang Yun's potential value to the Su Family's future.

Although this boy was young, from their contact that day, he was not a reckless, witless, or arrogant person. How could he possibly attempt to kill Su Mingxuan for no reason?

There must be a hidden story!

And what was Su Qingshan's temper like?

He was notoriously protective and hot-headed!

He especially doted on his youngest son, Su Mingxuan.

Seeing his beloved son injured now, and under Su Mingxuan's fanning of the flames, he was already consumed by rage. How could he bother to investigate the reasons?

If he truly struck in anger.

With his Diamond Peak strength, even without using his beast and relying only on a sliver of the beast's power, it would be enough to completely cripple the Gold Rank Jiang Yun!

If a top-tier Genius sprout who might rise in the Su Family's future were to be arrogantly crippled by one of their own... that would not only be a huge loss for the Su Family but also a massive joke!

They, the Elders present, would also be held responsible and unable to explain to Patriarch Su Yuntian, who was currently handling business at the Appraisers Guild!

In the blink of an eye.

Several Elders, led by the Grand Elder, exchanged anxious glances.

They instantly reached a consensus.

They had to stop Su Qingshan!

Just as Su Qingshan's Aura climbed to its Peak.

His five fingers like hooks, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air.

He grabbed ruthlessly toward Jiang Yun.

And at the moment Jiang Yun was also prepared to activate the mystic tortoise spirit armor the moment.

"Second Lord! Stop!!!"

"Second Lord Su! Stop quickly! You mustn't!"

Several extremely anxious shouts rang out almost simultaneously!

Three Elders, led by the Grand Elder.

Their figures flickered in unison, like three phantoms, instantly positioning themselves between Su Qingshan and Jiang Yun!

They didn't intend to fight Su Qingshan.

Instead, they simultaneously communicated with the beasts in their Beast Taming Spaces, surged their own beast Auras, and joined forces to lay down a thick Aura barrier. Like a solid dam, it forcefully blocked Su Qingshan's violently surging Aura and the impending claw wind!

"Boom!"

Spiritual powers collided.

Producing a muffled sound.

Air waves rolled.

Lifting all the surrounding dust and fallen leaves.

Su Qingshan's angry strike was blocked, his figure pausing slightly. The fire in his eyes grew even stronger as he glared at the Elders blocking him.

He said sternly, "What are you doing?! Get out of my way! Today, I must cripple this madman who dared to harm my son!"

"Misunderstanding! Second Lord, there must be a huge misunderstanding in this!"

The Grand Elder was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

He waved his hands repeatedly, his voice urgent.

"Misunderstanding?!"

Su Qingshan's hair and beard were all flared up.

He pointed at Su Mingxuan, who was still sobbing behind him.

"My son was beaten into this state! This fellow even claimed he would kill him! The witness is here, and the wounds are fresh. What misunderstanding could there be?! Get out of the way immediately, or don't blame me for not even giving you Face!"

At this moment, his heart was consumed by rage.

He had somewhat lost his reason.

"Second Lord! Calm down first! Listen to me!"

The Grand Elder knew time was of the essence and he had to point out the key immediately. He suddenly raised his voice, almost shouting, and pointed at Jiang Yun, who was protected behind them.

"This young friend... he is... he is the one who was personally present with the Patriarch yesterday, exceptionally recorded into our Su Family's Ancestral Hall... that... that sixteen years old Gold Rank Genius matrilocal son-in-law..."

The Grand Elder took a deep breath.

Using all his strength.

He shouted that currently crucial name:

"Jiang Yun!!!"
