27: Useless Son-in-Law (Part 8)

Zhou Mu's roar got stuck in his throat.

Zhao Kai's hideous expression froze on his Face.

The expectant looks of the Lin Family members instantly solidified.

An old man walked in from outside the banquet hall's main doors.

He wore a deep black brocade robe, and his hair was meticulously groomed.

The old man was expressionless, but the pressure he radiated enveloped the entire banquet hall.

It was more than ten times more powerful than City Lord Zhou Mu's Aura.

Several guards followed behind him, each with a steady Aura and sharp eyes.

The Flame Insignia on their chests was particularly striking.

That was... the insignia of the Imperial Capital's Su Family.

"Clang!"

The City Lord's Mansion armored soldiers who had rushed toward Su Yun earlier could no longer hold their long sabers, which all clattered to the ground.

Their legs went weak, and they almost knelt under that terrifying pressure.

The old man didn't look at anyone.

He ignored the dumbfounded City Lord Zhou Mu.

He ignored the trembling Qingshan Sect Master.

He even ignored all the guests in the hall.

Step by step, he walked straight toward the very center of the hall.

Toward the seat that everyone considered to be a sign of great rebellion.

Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes in the hall.

The old man walked up to the main seat.

He straightened his robes.

Then, he respectfully knelt on one knee before Su Yun, who was sitting calmly in the chair.

The entire movement was solemn and grave.

"This old servant is Su Fu."

"Respectfully welcoming Young Master Yun back to his position!"

"The Young Master has been wronged!"

Boom!

These words left Zhou Mu and Li Changfeng beyond shocked.

Their minds instantly went blank.

Their whole bodies turned cold, and their hands and feet felt icy.

Young Master?

This useless live-in son-in-law they had been repeatedly insulting... was actually the Young Master of the Imperial Capital's Su Family?

The sneer on Zhao Kai's Face had long since turned into a daze.

Just now, he hadn't been attacking a waste.

He had been attacking the Young Master of the Imperial Capital's Su Family!

A colossus who could decide his life or death, and the survival of the entire Qingyun Sect, with a single word!

"No... impossible..."

His lips trembled, unable to make a complete sound.

The Lin Family members in the corner were completely stunned.

Lady Wang was dumbfounded, the pleasure on her Face replaced by a deathly pale.

Her body trembled uncontrollably.

She thought back to the past six years.

She thought of the countless times she had beaten, scolded, despised, and humiliated Su Yun.

The person she had been bullying... was actually such a powerful figure who reached the heavens?

Regret and fear made it impossible for her to breathe.

Lin Qingxue also slumped to the ground, her Face ashen.

Old Servant Su slowly stood up.

His seemingly cloudy old eyes now revealed a cold light.

His gaze swept across the hall.

Finally, it fixed on City Lord Zhou Mu, who was shaking like a leaf.

"City Lord Zhou."

His voice was very calm.

"Just now, I seem to have heard you say that you wanted to beat my Young Lord to death with a staff?"

"Thud!"

Zhou Mu could no longer hold himself up; his knees gave way, and he fell heavily to the ground.

He didn't care about anything else and frantically kowtowed toward Su Yun and Old Servant Su.

The floor thudded as his head hit it.

"Elder Su, spare me! Young Lord, spare me!"

"It was I who had eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai! I was blind!"

Incoherent pleas for mercy echoed through the hall.

Old Servant Su's gaze turned toward Zhao Kai.

Just being swept by that cold gaze...

Zhao Kai felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy blow.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Then his knees buckled, and he also knelt down.

A foul stench instantly spread from his crotch.

He had actually wet himself out of pure terror.

The Lin Family's Lady Wang, Lin Qingxue, and the others also couldn't withstand the pressure, and they all slumped to the ground, unable to even speak words of apology.

Their hearts were filled with deep regret.

Old Master Lin's lips were trembling even more, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The entire banquet had turned into a courtroom.

And from beginning to end, Su Yun, sitting in the main seat, didn't have the slightest change in his expression.

He didn't enjoy the pleasure of this revenge.

Instead, a hint of weariness appeared in his eyes.

He waved his hand gently.

"Old Servant Su."

"There's no need to bother with a group of ants."

His voice wasn't loud, but it made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

It was true.

Before a true Dragon, these so-called big figures of Luoyun City were nothing more than a group of ants that could be crushed at any time.

Old Servant Su bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, Young Master."

Su Yun's gaze slowly fell upon the Lin Family members, who were slumped like mud.

He spoke in a flat tone.

"Out of respect for the Old Madam, everything from the past is written off."

"From this day forward, I no longer have any connection with the Lin Family."

After saying that, he stood up from the chair.

He ignored the ashen-faced and completely hopeless Lin Family members.

He walked straight to the corner of the banquet hall.

He walked up to Lin Nianci, the only one still standing, her Face full of shock and confusion.

Su Yun reached out his hand to Lin Nianci.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past six years."

"Now, I am going back to the Imperial Capital."

"Are you willing to come with me?"

Lin Nianci looked at the hand before her.

She looked back at her mother and sister slumped on the ground, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

But that complexity soon turned into determination.

She didn't hesitate.

She gently placed her slightly cool hand into Su Yun's warm hand.

She nodded firmly.

This grasp represented her complete farewell to Luoyun City and this decayed Family.

Su Yun took Lin Nianci's hand and turned to walk toward the main doors.

Old Servant Su and the group of guards followed closely behind.

Wherever they passed, the crowd parted like the sea, retreating in terror to both sides.

Everyone lowered their heads deeply, not even having the courage to look up.

Outside the banquet hall.

A massive Spirit Ship was floating quietly in mid-air.

The Spirit Ship was pulled by four Flying Horses, its entire body shimmering with light and possessing an extraordinary Aura.

Su Yun brought Lin Nianci onto the Spirit Ship.

Old Servant Su followed behind.

Leaving behind only a mess on the ground and the endless regret and terror of the people of Luoyun City.

Old Master Lin watched the Spirit Ship slowly rise into the sky, tears streaming down his Face.

"My Lin Family... my Lin Family could have leaped over the dragon gate..."

Aboard the Spirit Ship.

Old Servant Su approached Su Yun and, lowering his voice, reported urgently.

"Young Master, we must return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

"During the six years you were gone, undercurrents have been surging within the Family. Young Master Su Lie's faction is... almost uncontrollable."

A new storm was waiting for him in the Heavenly Fire Imperial Capital.

The Spirit Ship was extremely fast and soon arrived at the Su Family residence in the Heavenly Fire Imperial Capital.

Just as Su Yun stepped into the residence gate with Lin Nianci, he bumped into a young man dressed in fine silk clothes.

Seeing Su Yun, a flash of surprise first crossed the young man's Face.

"You... you're still alive?"

"Weren't you dead?!"

Su Yun looked at him coldly without responding.

The young man then let out a sneer.

"Hehe, so what if you're not dead?"

"You suffered a Qi Deviation; even if you survived, you're nothing more than a cripple!"

"And I am now at the Seventh Level of Spirit Transformation Realm, the undisputed number one of the Su Family!"
