Chapter 228 Arrival in Jiangdong

The Qingyun Sect's overnight departure from Jiangnan to Jiangbei caused quite a stir. Many martial arts experts knew that such a large commotion would only occur if something significant had happened.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Jiangdong, Yun Bei, practicing with a dagger, looked at the bound Lin Ke with a fanatical expression. “The woman of Lord Lu of Jiangnan, if I were to scar her face, I wonder if he would ache!”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Lin Ke sneered. “I am Lord Lu’s woman. If you harm me, how can you expect to live in the future!”

“What a joke!” Yun Bei laughed heartily. “This is Jiangdong!”

“So what if it’s Jiangdong?” Lin Ke said coldly. “On your wedding day, your Yun family summoned four Grandmasters, and weren’t they still defeated by Xiao Fan!”

“You shut your mouth!” Yun Bei roared. What happened in Jiangnan had already spread throughout Jiangdong, and the Yun family had lost all face, all due to Lu Fan. How could the Yun family, such a prestigious family, tolerate such words? Now that Yun Bei learned his grandfather, the head of the Yun family, was about to emerge from seclusion, how could he let this opportunity pass?

Just then, Yun Yiyi arrived with Yun family experts. Seeing the scene, she was even more furious. “Yun Bei, are you insane? Who told you to capture someone!”

“Grandfather is about to emerge from seclusion, and the Yun family will no longer have to endure in silence!” Yun Bei said coldly. “Capture him and bring him to Jiangdong, and that Lu will definitely come!”

“The Yun family is a martial arts family, how is your behavior any different from a bandit!” Yun Yiyi said coldly. “Release him immediately!”

“I am the young master of the Yun family!” Yun Bei said coldly. “This is our Yun family’s business, isn’t it overstepping your bounds, aunt?”

“You scoundrel!” Yun Yiyi was furious and was about to step forward to take Lin Ke away, but she was repelled by a palm from Yun Bei. Yun Yiyi, enraged, was about to attack, but found herself completely without strength.

“Aunt, you have consumed the Soft Tendon Powder these past few days, so you probably cannot exert any strength!” Yun Bei said with a cold smile. “Therefore, you can only listen to me obediently!”

“Why are you still standing there?” Yun Yiyi said repeatedly. “Take down Yun Bei!”

“Who dares!” Yun Bei’s aura was immense. “This is the Yun family. If you don’t obey my orders, you will be expelled from the Yun family in the future!”

The crowd exchanged glances, not daring to act rashly. They were all members of the Yun family, how could they defy the young master. Yun Yiyi felt wronged but didn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, in Jiangbei, Lu Fan finally received the news that Lin Ke’s disappearance was related to the Yun family of Jiangdong.

“The Yun family of Jiangdong!” Lu Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light. “Months ago, by the Qingzhou Lake, I gave them a chance to live, yet they are so ignorant of their place!”

“My lord! We will go to Jiangdong to demand the person now!” Han Jiazhu said, while looking at Han Qiushui. “Go and gather the Han family forces!” Han Qiushui dared not delay and left after receiving the instruction.

“Xiao Fan, do you have confidence?” Lin Aotian looked at Lu Fan. “You cannot let Xiao Ke get hurt!”

“Dad, don’t worry, I absolutely will not let Xiao Ke lose even a single strand of hair!” Lu Fan said solemnly. This matter arose because of him, and Lu Fan would never let Lin Ke get hurt.

Not long after, the Han family and many experts from the Qingyun Sect assembled and marched towards Jiangdong together, carrying an immense aura.

In Chuzhou, upon learning that Lu Fan was going to Jiangdong to demand the person, Gu Wen immediately went to the Zhao family. As the Zhao family head was practicing in the morning, Gu Wen broke into the room.

“So it’s Young Master Gu. May I ask why you have come?” the Zhao family head said with a smile.

“Lord Lu is going to Jiangdong, and there will surely be a battle with the Yun family. Is your Zhao family willing to accompany him?” Gu Wen said directly.

“Jiangdong?” The Zhao family head was slightly surprised, his expression changing slightly. “The Yun family of Jiangdong has some acquaintance with the Zhao family. This matter, the Zhao family… perhaps…”

“I am not here for any other reason today. Since the Zhao family head is unwilling, I’ll consider I haven’t been here!” Gu Wen smiled and walked towards the door, as he could not force matters like this.

“Wait!” the Zhao family head said repeatedly. “I need to consider this matter. Young Master Gu, please go back first, and the Zhao family will provide an answer then!”

“I await good news!” Gu Wen nodded with satisfaction and then left.

“Family Head, this is a dispute between Lord Lu and the Yun family!” an elder said, cupping his hands. “It is probably not appropriate for the Zhao family to get involved!”

“I know this, of course!” the Zhao family head nodded. “However, if the Zhao family does not act, there will likely be no further connection with Lord Lu in the future!”

“Family Head, please do not forget, the Yun family of Jiangdong is on good terms with many martial arts families!” the elder said solemnly. “If the Family Head rashly gets involved, it will surely displease the Yun family, and then the Zhao family will be in trouble!”

“There is no need to say more!” The Zhao family head waved his hand. “Lord Lu is unfathomable. If the Zhao family acts this time, it will surely become a trusted subordinate!” The elder was helpless and did not know how to speak, unexpectedly the Zhao family head would be like this. If they were to lose the battle, the entire Zhao family would probably cease to exist.

A few days later, a stir occurred within the territory of Jiangdong. Many were surprised, not knowing what had happened, as many martial arts experts from Jiangdong converged on the Yun family. Outside the Yun family room, Yun Bei waited with a group of experts.

Before long, a white-haired old man emerged from the room, his aura making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

“Grandfather, you have finally emerged from seclusion!” Yun Bei quickly knelt, and many other Yun family experts followed suit.

“Why is Qingshan not here?” Yun Yi said coldly. “As the acting family head, he should be here today!”

“Uncle Patriarch has passed away!” Yun Bei said repeatedly, and then explained the entire matter, including much exaggeration.

“Outrageous!” Yun Yi was furious. “Someone from Jiangnan dares to strike against my Yun family!”

“Grandfather, rest assured, I have already captured the woman named Lu, and he will definitely come to Jiangdong!” Yun Bei said coldly. “When that time comes, Grandfather can personally make a move and avenge Uncle Patriarch!”

“You have done well in this matter!” Yun Yi nodded. “It just so happens that I have just emerged from seclusion and want to test my skills. If someone throws themselves to my doorstep, I will surely let them know that my Yun family is not to be trifled with!”

“Family Head, this matter is not trivial!” an elder stepped forward. “Lord Lu of Jiangnan fought against four Grandmasters and was not defeated. His strength is likely immense. If we engage him head-on, it may not be beneficial to the Yun family!”

“If it were before my seclusion, I would still be wary!” Yun Yi said coldly. “Now that I have reached Grandmaster consummation, ordinary Grandmasters are like ants in my eyes!” The elders present were moved. If this were true, their Yun family would surely dominate the martial arts world in the future, and many martial arts families would attach themselves to them. At that time, who could compete? In the current world, only the truly mighty could suppress a fully realized Grandmaster, but this was a legendary existence, and no one knew if such mighty beings existed.

At the same time, Lu Fan and his group had arrived in Jiangdong, their momentum overwhelming. The many experts from the Qingyun Sect and the Han family combined made the atmosphere in Jiangdong tense. Any experts not affiliated with the Yun family had hidden themselves, not daring to easily get involved in this battle.

At this moment, outside the entrance of the Yun family courtyard, many experts had already gathered. Lu Fan stood in the center, his expression even colder, a murderous intent permeating the air. On his wedding day, he had said that if anyone dared to harm Lin Ke, he would annihilate their clan. Today, he would not go back on his word.

“Not good, many experts from Jiangnan have arrived!” a clan disciple reported. “They look aggressive, with countless experts!” Within a ten-mile radius outside the Yun family courtyard, there were no other figures. Except for a few major powers, no one dared to approach this place.

“Hand over Miss Lin, and perhaps the Yun family will have a chance of survival!” Han Jiazhu said coldly. “Otherwise, we will raze the Yun family!” With these words, the Yun family members were even more enraged. What kind of existence was their Yun family, to have ever suffered such humiliation?
