15: Chapter 15 Clear Mind

Yun Feng looked at Elder Yun and respectfully walked to his side. "Father, why are you here?"

"I came to see exactly what happened to cause such a big scene," Elder Yun's voice sounded somewhat weary.

He glanced at Yun Ming, his eyes seemingly filled with memories. "Alright, alright, let me say a word. We have indeed mistreated you mother and son over these years. So, I will make the decision on this matter. Ming'er, go and rest well. Tomorrow, offer a stick of incense to your younger brother and apologize. In the future, our Yun Family will slowly compensate the two of you. Qin Wan, you and the third brother live your lives well; that is better than anything else."

Qin Wan looked at Elder Yun and opened her mouth as if to speak, but she said nothing, remaining standing by Yun Ming's side.

Hearing Elder Yun's words, everyone felt that the matter was over.

One after another, they plucked up their courage to come forward and criticize Yun Ming.

"Stinking brat, you scared us to death. Do you even have any respect for us elders?"

"Exactly! Why haven't you come over to kneel and apologize to your grandfather? You've even disturbed his elderly self."

"Wait until your father returns; see how he teaches you a lesson."

Yun Qing's mother, Wu Cuiyun, rushed forward, wanting to teach Yun Ming a lesson. "You bastard, you killed my son! You want to live a good life? It won't be that easy!" She reached out her greasy, fleshy hand, intending to give Yun Ming a harsh slap.

Just as her hand was about to strike Yun Ming's face, Yun Ming grabbed her hand and slowly tightened his fingers.

"Bastard! Let go!" Wu Cuiyun hissed while trying to break free, her mouth spewing insults at Yun Ming.

Yun Ming frowned slightly and slowly applied force with his hand. A series of cracking sounds rang out.

Wu Cuiyun felt the pressure on her hand grow heavier and heavier, causing her to wail loudly in pain. "Let go! You mongrel, ahhh!"

Seeing that things were going wrong, the crowd spoke up one after another.

"Yun Ming! What are you trying to do!"

"Do you have no respect for your elders!"

"Are you refusing to listen to your grandfather!"

"Her son is dead; what does it matter if you let her slap you once?"

"A grown man, how can you lay a hand on a woman!"

Listening to these words and looking at their ugly faces, Yun Ming laughed out loud. "Hahaha, stop making me laugh. When I came back, I was still thinking about whether to give you a chance and let you off. Now it seems that you should be the ones giving me a chance."

The crowd was confused, not understanding what Yun Ming meant, but someone still spoke up: "We will give you a chance. As long as you are willing to hand over everything you learned from the Immortal to the Yun Family juniors. Once they have learned it all, you may stay or leave as you please."

Yun Ming shook his head. "That's not the chance I'm looking for."

"Then what exactly do you want!" Wu Cuiyun screamed. She truly couldn't bear the pain anymore; she felt like Yun Ming was about to crush her hand into a pulp.

"I want a chance for my thoughts to be clear and unobstructed."

With that, Yun Ming gave a forceful tug, ripping one of Wu Cuiyun's arms clean off and tossing it toward the crowd behind her.

The crowd turned pale with fright and retreated repeatedly.

Wu Cuiyun didn't even have time to scream before she fainted from the pain.

And so, Yun Ming began to clean out these beasts who were truly wearing human skin.

Yun Feng and Elder Yun watched in agony as the members of the Yun Family were cut down one by one by Yun Ming's sword.

"Stop! Yun Ming, stop at once!"

"Yun Ming, listen to your grandfather. They are all your family!"

Yun Ming looked at Elder Yun and cursed, "You old bastard! Since when was it your turn to speak! Don't think I don't know that you are the most hypocritical one of them all!"

"Yun Ming! I advise you to stop! Otherwise, when the second and third brothers return, even if you are an Immortal Master, you won't leave the Yun Family alive!"

"Also, Yun Ming, don't forget that Yun Xin joined an Immortal Sect just like you. If word of what happened here gets out, Yun Xin will definitely kill you!"

Even though Yun Feng and Elder Yun brought up the second and third brothers as well as Yun Xin, Yun Ming's movements didn't stop for a second. Soon, they were the only two left standing in the entire hall of the Yun Family.

Of the rest, some were dead and others were crippled. Yun Ming hadn't completely wiped them all out; those he killed were the ones who had bullied him in the past, and those he crippled were their accomplices.

Yun Ming wiped the blood off his sword and pointed at the two of them. "My dear second uncle and that trash father of mine were killed by me before I even arrived at the Yun Family."

"What!"

"Impossible!"

Yun Ming looked at their shocked expressions and spoke slowly. "I didn't expect it either. I casually wiped out two bandit dens near Wuan City, and it just so happened to be the two of them. I also didn't expect that the Yun Family was secretly supporting these bandits."

Yun Feng and Elder Yun looked at each other. Both knew that Yun Ming wasn't lying, which could only prove that the second and third brothers were truly dead!

"As for Yun Xin, you truly are father and son. At the Sect, he used you to threaten me, and back here, you use him to threaten me. Do you all enjoy threatening people that much?"

Yun Feng's heart sank, knowing that this final trump card was likely useless as well.

The two of them were instantly filled with despair and deep regret. They shouldn't have sent Yun Ming to practice cultivation in the first place.

They also couldn't understand how that once timid weakling could have become like this.

Of course they couldn't understand, because the current Yun Ming was no longer the Yun Ming of the past.

"Alright, you two can go down and meet them as well. In a while, I'll send Yun Xin down too."

"Wait! Yun..." The two wanted to beg for mercy, but Yun Ming naturally wouldn't give them the chance. With a light stroke of his sword, their heads were instantly separated from their bodies.

The longsword finally couldn't withstand the power of the Spiritual Qi and instantly disintegrated into a pile of ash.

Yun Ming let out a long breath, feeling the mass of pent-up frustration in his chest finally vented completely.

Then he turned and spoke to the fellow villagers outside the Yun Family home: "From this day forward, I have no further connection with the Yun Family."

After saying that, he picked up Qin Wan and leapt into the air, vanishing from sight in an instant.

Shen Mo looked at the crowd and said, "The Immortal is gone. Today, those with grudges take your revenge, and those with grievances seek your justice!"

Then, with a shout, these people who had been oppressed by the Yun Family for too long erupted with unprecedented strength, turning the entire Yun Family upside down.

But by this time, Yun Ming had already left with Qin Wan.

Yun Ming rented a carriage, planning to settle Qin Wan in Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City was prosperous and stable, and it was close to the Sunset Glow Sect. The banknotes he had plundered from the two bandit dens were enough for Qin Wan to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Yun Ming bought a large courtyard for Qin Wan and hired several servants to take care of her daily life.

"Ming'er, won't you stay a bit longer? You've only just returned, and now you're leaving again." Qin Wan looked at Yun Ming, her heart full of reluctance.

Yun Ming knelt before Qin Wan and said softly, "Mother, didn't I tell you? I am now an Outer Sect Disciple and can come back once every year."

Qin Yao sighed softly. "Sigh, Mother knows. I just can't bear to let you go. You've only just returned, first venting all those years of anger for me and then buying such a large courtyard—something I wouldn't have dared to dream of before. But in the past, you could always be by my side. Now, I can only see you once a year..."

Seeing Qin Wan's sad expression, Yun Ming teased, "Then your son won't Cultivate anymore; I'll stay and accompany you."

"Pah, pah, you mustn't say that," Qin Wan covered Yun Ming's mouth. "Speak properly."

In the end, Yun Ming still left. This trip had taken another half a month. He needed to hurry back to Cultivate and strive to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 5 as soon as possible.
