Chapter 551: 2 Scumbags
Lin Yun was sitting on a chair in his room. Just then, Little Ape flew in through the window as a streak of blood-red light and landed on Lin Yun’s shoulder. Little Ape spoke, "Big Bro, I’ve got a clear picture. There are only two people in the Celestial Spirit Realm—one at Great Success and one at Minor Achievement."
After night fell, Lin Yun had sent Little Ape to scout the Ji Family’s strength. Little Ape had covered the entire Ji Family estate and finally confirmed that the two strongest members of the Ji Family were both in the Celestial Spirit Realm.
"Very good. Let’s go. Looks like we’ll have some fun tonight." Smiling faintly at Little Ape, Lin Yun opened the door and walked out.
The moment Lin Yun stepped out of his room, the Ji Family Guards surrounding the courtyard gate rushed into the small courtyard under Patriarch Ji’s orders.
As they entered, they saw Lin Yun standing in the courtyard, smiling as he looked at them. At that moment, the two disciples from Taiqing Academy also walked in. Seeing that Lin Yun had already discovered their intentions, the two made no further attempt to hide it.
"Lin Yun, today is the day you die," Patriarch Ji’s son said, looking at Lin Yun and shouting coldly.
"There’s a saying: you can escape a calamity from the heavens, but not one you bring upon yourself," Lin Yun said indifferently.
Dozens of Ji Family Guards surrounded Lin Yun. They were all at the Primordial Ocean Realm of cultivation. Lin Yun paid them no mind; from start to finish, his eyes were fixed only on Patriarch Ji and the Ji Family’s Guard Commander.
"Go! Kill him for me!" the two Taiqing Academy disciples roared. Instantly, the Ji Family Guards swarmed toward Lin Yun.
Facing the Ji Family Guards, the Elemental Power fluctuations of Lin Yun’s Minor Achievement in the Celestial Spirit Realm suddenly soared into the sky. Feeling this wave of Elemental Power, Patriarch Ji and the two Taiqing Academy disciples were all stunned.
’Lin Yun broke through to the Celestial Spirit Realm? When he was in the Primordial Ocean Realm, he could already contend with experts in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Now that he’s broken through, doesn’t that mean he can easily slaughter everyone here?’
While the few of them were still frozen in shock, Little Ape, on Lin Yun’s shoulder, instantly transformed into a ten-meter-tall behemoth.
"A Tier Four Demon Beast..." Seeing this, Patriarch Ji’s heart instantly turned to ash. There was no need to think about it anymore; the Ji Family was surely doomed.
It was completely unexpected. Who could have thought that Lin Yun would have already broken through to the Celestial Spirit Realm, and that the Demon Beast by his side would be so powerful—a Tier Four Demon Beast, no less.
Lin Yun left the group of Ji Family Guards to Little Ape. As for himself, he slowly walked up to Patriarch Ji. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said indifferently, "From this day on, the Ji Family will no longer need to exist."
Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Patriarch Ji’s expression turned ugly. He knew that today, they had picked a fight with the wrong person. He subconsciously turned his head to look for his son, only to find that he had already fled.
The two of them had bolted almost without hesitation the moment Little Ape revealed its true form.
Seeing his own son abandon the entire family to escape alone, Patriarch Ji’s expression became impossibly grim. To be betrayed by one’s own flesh and blood—what a desolate feeling.
"It looks like you were deceived by your own son." Without even needing to ask, Lin Yun had already guessed the whole story. This Patriarch Ji had simply been tricked.
However, even though Patriarch Ji had been deceived, Lin Yun had no intention of letting him go. For some things, once you’ve done them, you must pay the price.
In just a few hundred breaths’ time, the group of Ji Family Guards had been completely slaughtered by Little Ape. These dozens of men were all masters of the Ji Family, and they comprised all of its Primordial Ocean Realm guards.
Watching these men get torn in half one by one by Little Ape, Patriarch Ji’s heart was bleeding. Even if Lin Yun didn’t kill him this time, the Ji Family would likely be unable to escape its doom. Without these Primordial Ocean Realm guards, the Ji Family’s strength was greatly diminished, and it would be impossible for them to survive in Fire City in the future.
Lu Bingning and the other two women were naturally aware of the commotion in the courtyard, but none of them came out. In their eyes, as long as Lin Yun was there, there would be no problem. As Lin Yun’s women, they trusted him.
"Lan Xi, Qingliu, don’t worry. Go back to sleep," Lu Bingning said with a smile to Mo Qingliu and Lan Xi.
After killing all the Ji Family Guards, Little Ape came to stand behind Lin Yun. Its ten-meter-tall body radiated an immense sense of pressure just by standing there.
Having broken through to a Tier Four Demon Beast, Little Ape’s fur was an even deeper blood-red, and its Evil Qi was much denser. Faced with Little Ape, the Ji Family’s Guard Commander, who had a cultivation of Minor Achievement in the Celestial Spirit Realm, couldn’t even muster the will to fight.
"Haha... to think that my Ji Family would ultimately be destroyed at the hands of my own son..." With a bitter laugh, Patriarch Ji’s face filled with sorrow.
This was understandable. Being betrayed by the person closest to you was a feeling worse than death.
Without waiting for Lin Yun to act, Patriarch Ji shattered his own meridians and died before him.
Before he died, Patriarch Ji looked at Lin Yun and said, "Young Master Lin, I know that after today’s events, my Ji Family cannot escape annihilation. But I beg you with my life, Young Master Lin, please spare the rest of my family. Let them go... I’m begging you... Young Master Lin."
Hearing Patriarch Ji’s dying words, Lin Yun glanced at the Guard Commander, who was already scared out of his wits. He took a deep breath and then said lightly,
"Clean this place up and take good care of my three friends. After sunrise, you can all leave Fire City."
With Patriarch Ji dead, Lin Yun didn’t want to kill needlessly. Although they had wanted to kill him, Patriarch Ji had already atoned for their sins with his life.
However, while Lin Yun could spare everyone else, he was determined to kill the two disciples from Taiqing Academy. Those two were not only treacherous by nature, but they were not even worthy of being called human.
As a son, he had actually deceived his own father, ultimately causing a catastrophe.
Then, after the disaster struck, he showed no concern for his father’s safety, thinking only of saving his own skin. He even abandoned his family to flee alone. What right did such a person have to live in this world?
Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Ji Family Guard Commander nodded respectfully. He then summoned several maids and began cleaning up the bloody corpses in the courtyard.
The maids were terrified at first. They had never seen such a gruesome scene. Trembling, they began to wash away the bloodstains in the courtyard.
Going to the room where Lu Bingning and the other two women were, Lin Yun spoke with them briefly, telling them to wait for him there. Then, he left.
Lin Yun was, of course, going to hunt down those two animals. Those bastards were unbelievably audacious, plotting to kill him. When things went wrong, they were willing to abandon even their own father. Lin Yun was determined to kill these two creatures who were worse than pigs and dogs today.
In truth, Lin Yun didn’t even have to think to guess their destination. In all of Fire City, the only place the two of them could go was the Wei Family.
After such a major incident, the Wei Family was likely the only one who could protect them. But could they really? Taking Little Ape with him, Lin Yun headed directly toward the Wei Family’s estate. He had passed by their residence during the day, so he knew the location.
