5: The dashing son of the sect leader (Part 4)

Qingyang City. The two largest families in the city, the Wang Family and the Liu Family, were decorated with lanterns and festoons today.

Red lanterns hung inside and outside their estates, and a festive red covered every street.

Today was the joyous wedding day of Wang Hao, the grandson most valued by the Wang Family's Old Ancestor, Wang Teng.

Wang Hao's talent was second to none in Qingyang City. At a young age, he was already at the ninth level of the Qi Nurturing Realm and was hailed as a Genius with the potential to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The woman he was marrying was none other than the apple of the Liu Family's eye, Liu Ruyan.

The two families were marrying into each other once again, a union of power.

Almost every prominent figure in all of Qingyang City had arrived to offer their congratulations.

Inside the Wang Family estate, guests filled the seats, wine cups clinked, and laughter and joy filled the air.

Wang Teng sat in the seat of honor, his face glowing with delight.

Watching his valued grandson and beautiful granddaughter-in-law, he seemed to see an even more glorious future for the Wang Family.

"The auspicious hour has arrived! The newlyweds shall now perform the wedding ceremony!" the master of ceremonies announced in a high-pitched voice.

Wang Hao held Liu Ruyan's hand, just about to kneel and pay respects.

In the night, a figure stood silently on the roof of the Wang Family estate.

He watched the bustling festivities below, his eyes devoid of any ripples.

A joyous day, is it?

Scenes from his past life surfaced in Lin Yun's mind.

That day, it had also been a joyous day for him.

But what he had received was not blessings, but the catastrophe of his Family's destruction.

Today, he would also make these two families truly experience what he had felt back then.

He moved. His figure was like a ghost, silently infiltrating the Wang Family's backyard.

He did not alert anyone.

The slaughter began with the guards in the backyard.

Lin Yun's fingers turned into the sharpest of weapons.

Every time he pointed, he accurately pierced through a person's throat.

No screams. No struggle.

Those he struck lost all vitality before they could even react.

Fresh blood stained the ground red.

Like a grim reaper walking the earth, he efficiently harvested lives.

As long as they were from the Wang Family or the Liu Family, he would leave none alive.

The smell of blood began to permeate the air.

Finally, among the guests in the front courtyard, a sharp-nosed Cultivator caught the scent.

"What is that smell?" "It seems to be the smell of blood..." "Today is a joyous day, how could there be the smell of blood?" "Even if there were, it should be in the latter half of the night."

Just as everyone was puzzled, "Bang!" The doors to the main hall were kicked open.

A figure covered in blood rushed in. It was the Wang Family's butler.

"Old... Old Ancestor! It's bad! Someone has broken in! They are killing everyone they see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a head flew in and landed right at his feet.

Seeing the head with eyes wide open in death, the butler's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

The entire hall of guests was in an uproar. All laughter ceased abruptly.

Wang Teng's expression darkened instantly. "Who is it! How dare you run wild on my Wang Family's joyous day!"

His voice, like a booming bell, spread throughout the entire estate.

A figure stepped into the moonlight and walked in from outside the door, step by step.

He was dressed in black, wearing a cold mask on his face. There wasn't a single drop of blood on his body.

Yet the thick, unshakeable smell of blood was coming precisely from him.

With every step he took, the guests couldn't help but step back. An invisible pressure blanketed the entire hall.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Wang Teng stared fixedly at Lin Yun. "Why must you lay such cruel hands on my Wang Family?"

Lin Yun did not answer. His gaze swept over everyone in the hall. He was distinguishing who belonged to the Wang Family and who belonged to the Liu Family.

Then, he moved. His figure left behind an afterimage in the hall. "Ah!" Screams rose one after another.

Anyone he targeted, whether from the Wang Family or the Liu Family, died in an instant.

The guests were frightened to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, fleeing outward one after another. Lin Yun paid them no mind. His targets were only the Wang Family and the Liu Family.

"You seek death!" Wang Teng roared. He could no longer sit still. The opponent was trying to wipe out both of their families!

He struck out with his palm, and the vigorous spiritual energy transformed into a giant hand, grabbing toward Lin Yun.

Lin Yun didn't even look back, striking out with a backhanded punch. "Boom!" The giant hand of spiritual energy shattered into pieces.

Wang Teng let out a muffled grunt, feeling a tyrannical force surge up his arm, causing him to stagger back three steps.

His eyes were filled with shock. How could this be! He was at the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm! The opponent had actually forced him back with a single punch?

"Your Excellency is also an expert in the Spirit Transformation Realm; when did I, Wang, offend Your Excellency?" Wang Teng exclaimed.

Lin Yun still ignored him. His slaughter continued.

The groom, Wang Hao, and the bride, Liu Ruyan, were trembling with fear, hiding in a corner. Lin Yun's figure appeared before them.

"No... don't kill me..." Wang Hao begged incoherently. Lin Yun pointed a finger. A bloody hole appeared in the center of Wang Hao's forehead.

Liu Ruyan screamed and collapsed to the ground. Lin Yun's gaze fell upon her. Then, another finger strike.

"You brat! How dare you!" Wang Teng's eyes were splitting with rage, and he charged up again. This time, he held a large saber in his hand, with spiritual light flickering on the blade.

"Go to hell!" He slashed with all his might at Lin Yun's back. Lin Yun turned around.

This time, he did not hold back. The aura of the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm was released without reservation.

He extended two fingers and clamped onto Wang Teng's blade. "Snap." A crisp sound rang out.

That high-grade large saber was actually snapped in two by his two fingers.

Wang Teng's pupils shrank to the size of needle points. Third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm! This masked man was actually at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Fear instantly overwhelmed him. "Spare me! Where exactly did my Wang Family offend you! Tell me! I will change! I am willing to give you anything!"

Lin Yun's hand clamped around his neck. Wang Teng's body was lifted into mid-air.

"A person about to die does not need to know why." A cold voice came from beneath the mask for the first time.

"Snap." Wang Teng's neck was crushed.

This strongest expert of Qingyang City, until his death, did not know why he had brought this calamity of extermination upon himself.

From then on, the Wang and Liu families of Qingyang City were completely annihilated. Lin Yun's figure disappeared into the night.

The next day, the news spread, and the entire Qingyang City was shaken. But this was only the beginning.

Lin Yun did not stop. He rushed without pause toward Panyan City. There, there was another target he needed to settle accounts with.

In his past life, Su Yueyao was killed by the Zhao Family of Panyan City. In this life, he would make the Zhao Family pay for their blood debts with blood.

Three days later. The Zhao Family in Panyan City was slaughtered overnight. The method was exactly the same as with the Wang and Liu families in Qingyang City. Clean and efficient. Not a single survivor was left.

With three major families destroyed in succession, this matter finally caused some waves in the Empire. But it was merely some waves.

For the vast Empire, the destruction of a few local families was not a big deal. Furthermore, the perpetrator's methods were too clean, leaving behind no clues.

The Empire sent people to investigate for a while, but with nothing gained, the matter was left unsettled.

And having done all this, Lin Yun had already returned to Tianxing City. This time, he had not only wiped out all his enemies but also had an unexpected pleasant surprise.

He had found the whereabouts of his only offspring from his past life, Lin Dong. Since his Awakening, he had searched for Lin Dong's whereabouts over these years.

However, it was always like looking for a needle in a haystack, without result, and in the end, he had to leave it at that.

Lin Dong was still alive. He had been spotted by a passing great expert. That great expert saw that his talent was good, so he took him away and accepted him as a Disciple.

It was said that it was a major Sect from outside the Empire. As for which specific Sect it was, he had no way of knowing.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Being alive was good. As long as he was still alive, one day they would meet again.
