Chapter 244 The Lin Family Suffers a Setback! Hidden Killing Intent? The Academy Provides Support!

That sneering voice sounded like ice colliding.

It echoed through the sky.

"Hehehe!"

"What matter has caused Patriarch Su to have such a great temper?"

As the voice fell.

On the platform of the Crimson Flame Horned Eagle.

A figure slowly walked out.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in dark red robes, with a thin Face, high cheekbones, and a pair of narrow eyes as cold as a venomous snake's.

With every step he took.

Invisible ripples seemed to rise from the platform beneath his feet.

The Head of the Lin Family!

Lin Hong!

A Falling Star Rank Aura.

Spread out like something tangible!

Although his Realm seemed slightly inferior to Su Yuntian's Falling Star Rank, that cold and ruthless Aura made one shudder.

What was even more eye-catching was.

Beside Lin Hong.

Followed a young man dressed in brocade with an arrogant Face.

The youth was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his Face slightly pale, his eye sockets sunken, looking like someone who had overindulged in debauchery.

At this moment.

He was tilting his head.

Looking toward the Su Family platform with a Face full of disdain.

When his gaze swept across the Su Family group.

His mouth curled, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

The Second Young Master of the Lin Family!

Lin Tao!

The Lin Family disciple who had been kicked off the Earth-Walking Camel Beast by Jiang Yun!

"Lin Hong."

Su Yuntian looked at the red-robed man opposite him.

His expression was calm.

But a flash of coldness flickered deep in his eyes:

"Keep your Lin Family people in check."

"If they dare use Divine Sense to spy on my Su Family airship again... or speak recklessly to my Su Family, I wouldn't mind... cleaning house for your Lin Family."

His voice wasn't loud.

But it carried an unquestionable authority.

Especially the words 'cleaning house' at the end, which struck the hearts of the Lin Family members like a heavy hammer!

Lin Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

A trace of disdain flashed in his narrow eyes.

"Patriarch Su sure is putting on quite an air."

"It was just a small test, why make such a big fuss?"

His gaze.

Swept over Jiang Yun seemingly inadvertently.

"I heard the Su Family recruited an extraordinary matrilocal son-in-law this year? What was his name? Jiang Yun?"

"A Gold Rank at sixteen years old... tsk tsk, truly... the younger generation is to be feared."

These words sounded like praise.

But the sarcasm in his tone.

Was obvious to everyone.

Su Yuntian laughed instead.

His laugh was as light as clouds and a gentle breeze.

"Patriarch Lin flatters us."

"My Su Family's son-in-law is naturally a Dragon among men."

"Unlike certain families..."

His gaze.

Lingered on Lin Tao for a moment.

The corners of his mouth hooked into a meaningful curve.

"The disciples they raise, besides bullying others using their influence, eating, drinking, and gambling... it seems they have no other skills. As for their Beast Taming Aptitude and talent, it also seems quite mediocre."

"You!!!"

Lin Tao's Face instantly flushed red!

He suddenly stepped forward.

Looking at Su Yuntian, he was about to start cursing!

But just then.

His gaze.

Inadvertently swept across a certain figure on the Su Family platform.

Then, his entire being... froze!

Those eyes that were originally full of disdain and contempt.

Stared fixedly at that person.

His pupils!

Contracted violently!

The expression on his Face.

Changed from anger to shock.

Then from shock to... disbelief!

Finally, it turned into a loud roar.

"Bastard! It's you!!!"

This roar.

Exploded in the sky like a thunderclap!

Everyone was stunned!

Lin Hong frowned.

He looked at his son.

He gave a contemptuous smile.

"Tao'er? What's wrong?"

"You... know this Su Family matrilocal son-in-law?"

His gaze.

Also followed Lin Tao's line of sight.

And landed on Jiang Yun.

Lin Tao gritted his teeth hard.

His finger trembled as he pointed at Jiang Yun.

His voice became shrill due to extreme anger.

"Father! It's him!"

"A few days ago! The bastard who kicked me and several attendants... off the Earth-Walking Camel Beast!!!"

Boom!!!

As soon as these words were spoken!

The entire field was shocked!

What?!

On the Su Family platform.

Everyone's eyes widened!

On the Lin Family platform.

All the Lin Family disciples were also stunned!

Even Lin Hong was dazed for a moment!

Then.

Everyone's gazes.

Turned in unison toward Jiang Yun!

"Son-in-Law Jiang Yun... has actually already clashed with this Lin Family playboy?"

"Kicked him off the Earth-Walking Camel Beast? My god..."

"Hahaha! Well done! A profligate like Lin Tao deserves to be treated like that!"

Among the Su Family disciples, bursts of whispers erupted.

On everyone's Faces.

Were expressions of shock, excitement, and relief!

Especially those young people who usually couldn't stand the Lin Family's arrogant behavior, they almost burst out laughing!

"Who would have thought... Son-in-Law Jiang Yun not only dealt with the Fourth Young Master in the Su Family, but also dealt with the Lin Family's Second Young Master outside?"

"This is just... too fierce!"

"Hahaha! No wonder Lin Tao had that expression like he'd just eaten filth!"

"He clearly suffered a big loss!"

The discussions grew louder and louder.

On the Faces of the Su Family members.

There was a sense of shared pride and excitement.

While on the Lin Family platform.

After Lin Tao heard those discussions.

He felt as if he'd been struck by lightning!

"What?!"

He suddenly turned his head.

He looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes bulging like copper bells.

"He is... Jiang Yun?!"

"That sixteen-year-old Gold Rank Prodigy?!"

"The Su Family's... matrilocal son-in-law?!"

In an instant.

All the information connected in his mind!

A few days ago, he was sitting on the Earth-Walking Camel Beast.

He was cursing loudly at the crowd.

Cursing the name Jiang Yun!

And at that time.

The youth who didn't say a word... was Jiang Yun?!

"I... I cursed him for a long time right to his Face?!"

"Then... I was kicked off by him?!"

"And in the end, I didn't even know who the other party was?"

"Now you're telling me that was damn Jiang Yun? That person who was the Su Family's trash matrilocal son-in-law?"

Lin Tao's Face.

Instantly turned from flushed red to deathly pale!

Then, from deathly pale to ashen!

Humiliation!

Extreme humiliation!

He felt like a jumping clown!

Being played like a monkey!

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!!"

Lin Tao was so angry he was shaking all over.

Pointing at Jiang Yun, his voice even changed pitch.

"Jiang Yun! I'm going to kill you! I will definitely kill you!!!"

In his eyes.

Filled with madness and malice!

He seemed to want to use this roar to regain Face.

However.

"Shut up!"

A cold shout came from Lin Hong's mouth.

Lin Tao trembled all over.

He turned to look at his father.

Lin Hong's Face.

Was already so gloomy it could drip water.

He gave Lin Tao a cold look.

The chill in that gaze.

Made Lin Tao instantly shut his mouth.

Then.

Lin Hong's gaze fell back onto Jiang Yun.

This time.

His gaze became incredibly sharp!

A powerful Divine Sense.

Like an invisible blade.

Swept toward Jiang Yun!

He wanted to see for himself... what was so special about this youth who had made his son lose Face and whom the Su Family valued so much!

However.

In the next instant!

Lin Hong's expression changed slightly!

"Hmm?!"

His Divine Sense.

The moment it touched Jiang Yun's body... actually... could not penetrate?!

It was as if there was an invisible barrier.

Isolating his Divine Sense on the outside!

He could only vaguely perceive.

The Beast Taming Power inside Jiang Yun's body.

Was roughly at the level of middle-stage Gold Rank.

But specific details... could not be detected at all!

It seemed the other party's Divine Sense was not weak?

"What's going on?!"

A storm rose in Lin Hong's heart!

"My Divine Sense... actually can't see through this kid?!"

"He's only Gold Rank! How could he possibly resist my Divine Sense probe?!"

"Unless... the Su Family has placed some special protective measure on him?!"

This discovery.

Made Lin Hong's brow furrow deeply.

He had originally thought.

The so-called sixteen-year-old Gold Rank was just exaggerated propaganda by the Su Family to build momentum.

But now it seemed... "Could it be... the rumors are true?!"

"This kid... really is a Prodigy Genius?!"

"A Gold Rank at sixteen years old... if he's allowed to grow..."

In Lin Hong's heart.

A strong sense of unease and... killing intent surged!

If the Su Family really produced such a Prodigy... then the Lin Family.

Their position in the Qingmu District would be seriously threatened!

They might even be completely suppressed by the Su Family!

Even Face extermination... "No..."

Lin Hong's eyes became incredibly cold.

"I absolutely cannot allow the Su Family... to have such a Genius born!"

His gaze locked onto Jiang Yun like a venomous snake.

That undisguised killing intent.

Spread out like something tangible!

Boom!!!

Jiang Yun trembled all over!

He only felt a bone-chilling coldness.

Instantly envelop his entire body!

As if he were being stared down by a powerful Vicious Beast!

Suffocation!

Oppression!

The fear of approaching death!

His heart beat wildly!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

This was... the killing intent of a Falling Star Rank expert?!

Too terrifying!

Jiang Yun had no doubt.

If there were no Su Family members present right now.

Lin Hong would not hesitate... to slap him to death!

However.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort sounded in front of Jiang Yun.

Su Yuntian stepped forward.

Just blocking the way between Jiang Yun and Lin Hong.

On that refined Face.

There was now a... smug smile?

"Patriarch Lin."

In Su Yuntian's voice.

Carried undisguised mockery:

"What, the young one can't win... so the old one wants to personally take action?"

"Your Lin Family... really is... getting worse with each generation. Not only has the talent regressed significantly, has the integrity also regressed?"

His words were like sharp knives.

Stabbing hard into Lin Hong's heart!

Lin Hong's Face.

Instantly became gloomy to the extreme!

He stared fixedly at Su Yuntian.

Then glanced at Jiang Yun who was protected behind Su Yuntian.

In his eyes, flashed unwillingness, anger, malice... all sorts of complex lights.

Finally.

He took a deep breath.

Forcefully suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

"Good... very good."

Lin Hong's voice was as cold as iron.

"Patriarch Su, today's matter... my Lin Family will remember it."

His gaze.

Lingered on Jiang Yun for one last moment.

That look.

Was like looking at a... dead man.

"Sky Dome Academy... is not the Su Family."

"Kid, I hope you can be just as bold after you enter Sky Dome Academy..."

After speaking.

Lin Hong suddenly turned around!

This was clearly a naked threat to Jiang Yun.

"Let's go!"

He gave a big wave of his hand!

The Crimson Flame Horned Eagle let out a shrill cry, its wings flapped violently, turning into a red stream of light, instantly accelerating and disappearing into the horizon!

That receding figure... no matter how you looked at it.

Had a sense... of fleeing in a pathetic state.

On the platform.

The Su Family members looked in the direction where the Lin Family airship had disappeared, first in a moment of silence.

Then.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Satisfying! So satisfying!"

"Did you see Lin Hong's Face when he suffered that setback? It turned green!"

"And that Lin Tao! He's bullied us plenty in the Qingmu District! Hahaha! He was actually kicked off the Earth-Walking Camel Beast by Son-in-Law Jiang Yun? This is killing me!"

Laughter and cheers resounded across the platform!

Everyone's gaze toward Jiang Yun.

Was full of admiration and worship!

It was so relieving!

In all these years.

When had the Su Family ever been so elated in a confrontation with the Lin Family?!

Su Yuntian turned around.

He looked at Jiang Yun with concern in his eyes.

"Jiang Yun, are you okay?"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

Suppressing the agitation in his heart.

He shook his head.

"I'm fine, thank you, Patriarch."

Just now.

If Su Yuntian hadn't blocked him in time, Lin Hong's killing intent might have caused him quite a bit of mental shock.

Su Yuntian nodded, his expression becoming solemn.

"This Lin Family... along with my Su Family, are the only two second-rate families in the Qingmu District."

"Over the years, the two families have been at loggerheads in business, resources, networking, and various other aspects, competing fiercely."

"Today you made Lin Tao lose Face and showed such talent... the Lin Family has already seen you as a thorn in their side."

He paused and said in a heavy tone.

"But don't worry."

"Outside, with me here, the Lin Family won't dare do anything to you openly."

"But..."

A trace of worry flashed in Su Yuntian's eyes.

"Once you enter Sky Dome Academy... that is a world for young people. We old folks can't easily interfere too much."

"The Lin Family disciples... will probably try every possible way to cause trouble for you."

Hearing this.

Jiang Yun's brow also furrowed slightly.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

The loud voice of the Second Master, Su Qingshan, rang out.

He strode to Jiang Yun's side.

And clapped Jiang Yun's shoulder hard.

"Sky Dome Academy isn't the only place with geniuses from the Lin Family!"

"Our Su Family has them too!"

Su Qingshan was full of pride.

"My eldest son, Su Gumu, is currently Cultivating in the inner court of Sky Dome Academy!"

"Top ten on the Earth Ranking! He can be considered a Genius among geniuses!"

He looked at Jiang Yun and grinned.

"When you get to the academy, go find him!"

"With him looking after you, would those Lin Family brats dare touch a single hair on your head?! They'll definitely have no way to deal with you. Once you grow up, you can take our Su Family disciples to give those Lin Family people a good thrashing."

Su Yuntian also nodded.

"And my daughter, Su Qingying."

"She's also at Sky Dome Academy. She hasn't been home for half a year, and hasn't even sent a letter back... she must be too immersed in her Cultivation at the academy."

"When you get to the academy, go find her too."

A trace of softness flashed in Su Yuntian's eyes.

"You are all Su Family disciples. In Sky Dome Academy, it's good to look out for one another."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's heart stirred.

Su Gumu... Su Qingying... the Su Family's current generation.

Actually already had two geniuses at Sky Dome Academy?

And.

It sounded like their strength wasn't weak?

Especially Su Gumu... top ten on the Earth Ranking?

He had heard Lin Tao mention the number one on the Heaven Ranking before.

It seemed to be Feng Xingyun of the Feng Family?

What was this Earth Ranking?

Jiang Yun was a bit confused.

Although he didn't know about this Earth Ranking.

Since he was ranked in the top ten on this list.

He must be a top Genius of Sky Dome Academy!

Jiang Yun nodded.

"This Junior understands."

"When I get to the academy, I will go find them."

However.

He was secretly muttering in his heart.

"Look out for one another?"

"Sigh! It'll be good enough if they don't come looking for trouble with me..."

His gaze.

Glanced toward a nearby spot seemingly inadvertently.

Where Su Ming Xuan was keeping his head down, but the corner of his mouth hooked into a... gloating sneer?

Clearly.

This Fourth Young Master was already looking forward to his elder brother taking revenge for him.

"Sigh..."

Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.

"Blessings aren't disasters, and disasters can't be avoided."

However.

On the surface.

He still maintained a proper smile.

He bowed again to Su Yuntian and the others.

"Thank you for the guidance, Patriarch, First Master, and Second Master."

"Jiang Yun... will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

When Su Yuntian and the other two saw this.

A look of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

They looked at Jiang Yun, and that gaze... was full of expectation.

Expecting this youth to... soar to the heavens at Sky Dome Academy!

And win supreme glory... for the Su Family!

The rest of the journey was uneventful.

The Green Wing Roc flew steadily above the clouds.

Below.

The scenery of the provincial capital slowly unfolded like a scroll.

The provincial capital was very large.

The eight districts each occupied a side.

Between the areas.

The distance was at least dozens of li.

At most, it was even over a hundred li.

The architectural styles were diverse.

The flow of people was like a woven fabric, incredibly prosperous.

Jiang Yun stood at the edge of the platform.

Overlooking all of this, a sense of pride and ambition rose in his heart.

This is... the provincial capital!

This is... the stage where I am about to make my mark!

Half an hour later.

Ahead, the clouds and mist suddenly dispersed.

An even more grand and magnificent scene came into view!

Those were buildings... floating in the air!

Countless pavilions and palaces.

Built along the mountains, arranged in an orderly fashion.

Between the lingering clouds and mist, there were strange beasts flying.

There were airships shuttling back and forth.

At the very center.

A giant tower a thousand zhang tall pierced the clouds!

The body of the tower emitted a faint golden light, and even from a great distance, one could feel that majestic and sacred Aura!

Tianqiong District!

The core of the provincial capital!

The location of Sky Dome Academy!

"We've arrived..."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

A raging fighting spirit burned in his eyes!
