Chapter 932: Kneel!



“Second Young Master!” shouted the old servant plaintively as he rushed forward.

He had never thought that Yue Jianfei would end up on the ground with his face full of bloody marks. Furthermore, there was food all over him, so it was clear that someone had been bullying him.

“You guys are so cruel ah!” The old servant’s eyes bulged out with anger.

“Uncle Wen, they told me that…that my older brother won’t be able to come back. They’re trying to trick me, right?” Yue Jianfei acted as if he had seen his savior as he dove into the old servant’s arms, his face full of hope.

“What? The First Young Master won’t be coming back?” The old servant acted as if lightning had just struck him as his entire body became stiff. He quietly lamented, “That can\'t be, absolutely can’t be true! The First Young Master is a disciple of the Thousand Illusions Sect, how could he possibly not come back?”

“Heh, you refuse to believe it? Old man, I’m afraid I have to tell you that Yue Jianming is already dead. So don’t bother hoping that he can come back and help you anymore!”

The middle-aged matron sneered, “Also, the Thousand Illusions Sect have already sent out a proclamation saying that Yue Jianming’s death was a consequence of his own actions, and he no longer has any ties to their sect. This means that the sect will not worry itself over the Yue Family’s idiot of a second young master.”

She was quite arrogant and was ignoring Lin Xun outside the hall. She relished the opportunity to be the bearer of bad news to the old servant, so her words were quite malicious and full of cruelty.

The old servant felt his vision growing dark as it felt as if the sky was falling down on him. He was about to collapse.

How could the First Young Master be dead?

He was reacting the same way Yue Jianfei had as neither of them was able to accept this bad news.

Outside the great hall, Lin Xun inwardly sighed. He looked at Yue Jianfei with a complicated expression. The two of them had been twins, so Yue Jianfei looked exactly like his brother.

Looking at him reminded Lin Xun of Yue Jianming, which also made him recall what his friend had said before he had died.

“You treat me as a friend, so I won’t let anyone blackmail you!”

Right then, Yue Jianming had looked tranquil and at peace. Upon his death, there was a hint of apology on his face.

When he thought of that, Lin Xun felt something stifling rising within his heart. Gloom and fury burned as he silently muttered, “Since you treat me as a friend, then how could I possibly let anyone bully your younger brother?”

“Old fool, you’ve come at the right time. Be sensible and tell us where the marriage contract is. We’ve already sent people to search the Yue Family’s residence, digging all over the place, but we still haven’t found it. Furthermore, this idiot knows nothing. Tell us, were you the one who hid the marriage contract?”

The middle-aged matron got up, her eyes full of a dark light as she continued to berate the old servant, “Let me tell you, bringing along help is not going to help you. This is the Zheng Family’s territory. Within Thousand Lake City, no one would dare to provoke us!”

“Now I know…you all found out that FIrst Young Master has died, which is why you’re bullying us. I finally understand. You guys are a bunch of thankless wretches who bite the hand that feeds them!”

Veins throbbed on the old servant’s face as he howled, “Even if I died today, there’s no way I’d take the marriage contract out. Your Zheng Family will have to bear the reputation of people who bite the hand that feeds them for the rest of eternity!”

“You’re asking for death!”

The middle-aged matron was clearly someone who had been spoiled beyond measure. She immediately came forward and took out her hand to teach the old servant a lesson.

At the same time, Lin Xun came out of his guilty reminiscence and saw what was going on. A burst of cold light immediately burst out of his eyes.

He had already revealed a hint of his might, but the Zheng Family still refused to back down. Instead, they continued to be as arrogant and bossy as before. It was clear that they had lorded over Thousand Lake City for too long.

Swish!

He flashed and immediately appeared before the old servant. A hand stretched out, quickly capturing the middle-aged woman’s hand before he tossed her away.

She smashed the ground with a loud clatter, and the impact was so hard that she staggered as she got up, seeing stars in her eye. She screeched angrily, “How dare a youngster like you put a hand on me, a member of the Zheng Family?

“Kneel!” Lin Xun’s response was ice-cold.

“You want me to kneel? You’ve got guts…”

The middle-aged matron burst into rage. In the past, she had gotten used to acting tyrannically throughout Thousand Lake City, so she had never been treated this way. Anger overtook her, and she completely lost her wits.

However, before she could finish her tirade, a force akin to a mountain pressing down on her appeared. With a loud thunk, she collapsed onto the ground into a kneeling position. All of her muscles and bones creaked as blood began to seep out of her apertures. She almost fainted on the spot.

She was so astonished that her mouth opened and closed in an attempt to call for help, yet a single sound could not be heard from her lips.

At the same time, the other elders of the Zheng Family became frightened as the looks on their faces abruptly changed.

The time it took for Lin Xun to enter the hall and force the matron to kneel was about a span of a few breaths. However, the kind of capabilities he revealed startled them all.

Originally, they had thought that he was a mere youth. No matter how strong he was, there was no way for him to rashly start a fight with the Zheng Clan. At most, he’d try to intercede for the Yue Family. Therefore, even though they were confused, they hadn’t been scared.

But now, they could no longer sit still.

“Young friend, it doesn’t matter who you are, this is still the territory of our Zheng Family. Isn’t barging in like this a bit too much?” said an old elder with gray nair.

“Trying to use your age to bully others is of no use. Kneel!”

The current Lin Xun was like an unsheathed sword. His black eyes flashed with icy lightning, and an imposing manner exuded from his pores.

He wasn’t like an unknown stranger. Instead, he resembled a master who had the power of life and death over them!

Bam!

Lin Xun spoke without a single movement, and the old man screamed shrilly before his body sank into a kneel. His elderly face was now a reddish-purple.

Within moments, the entire hall became silent. The elders of the Zheng Family were not stupid. Earlier they had acted the way they did because they were relying on the power of their family in Thousand Lake City. That had given them the confidence to do so.

Furthermore, Lin Xun was only a single person, and he was a youth to boot. This made them feel like there was nothing for them to be afraid of, but apparently, his might was quite terrifying!

He hadn’t acted previously, but after only saying a few words, he used his power to oppress two of the elders to kneel in front of him. This was too frightening.

Just where did the old servant of the Yue Family find such a vicious individual?

“Young Master, not sure where we have offended you, but if it’s something from the past, I ask that you be a bit lenient at first,” said a middle-aged man who was dressed in luxurious clothing. A humble smile hung upon his face.

“Pretending to be humble and modest won\'t get you anywhere. Kneel!”

Lin Xun didn’t even look at him before he made a decision and forced the middle-aged man to kneel. The man’s two knees immediately split open as he screamed with a twisted look on his face.

The great hall became even more stiflingly silent, and not even the sound of a mouse scurrying could be heard.

Everyone couldn’t help having a thread of alarm popping up in their hearts. Just who was this youngster and how could he possibly have such a terrifying power?

They were truly screwed now!

Zheng Qianlong’s heart fell, and chills ran through him. He had finally realized that they may have bumped into a steel wall this time.

The saying that a strong dragon could not repress a pit of snakes was completely false! In front of absolute power, there was nothing a large group could do!

“Uncle Wen, why did they all suddenly kneel down? Are they performing a new play?”

Yue Jianfei sounded quite frustrated, and his voice echoed loud and clear in the deathly silence.

At any other time, his statement would be patently ridiculous, and all of the elders here would burst out into jeering laughter that humiliated him.

However, no one was laughing now. All of their faces were stiff and filled with indescribable emotion.

The old servant had already been stunned speechless by Lin Xun’s recent actions. Furthermore, his cultivation was quite shallow, so he couldn’t see through the youth’s power level. Thus, there was no way he could answer this question.

“They’re not performing a new play. Instead, they’re atoning for their own mistakes,” Lin Xun gently responded.

“Atoning for their mistakes,” Yue Jianfei repeated in a dazed voice.

“Yes. They must pay the price for what they did today!”

What Lin Xun said felt like a hammer to everyone in the hall. All of the elders in the Zheng Family felt panic rising within them. Didn’t this mean that the youth had no desire to let things go?

“Young Master, I can tell that you have come for Yue Jianfei. Is there any way we can resolve this with some discussions? What’s the point in throwing your weight around?”

Zheng Qianlong could no longer sit still. He stood up and said heavily, “My Zheng Family has not mistreated Yue Jianfei all these years. As for what happened today, it is all a misunderstanding. If we are in the wrong in any way, the Zheng Family will definitely give you generous compensation. Young Master, what do you think?”

“A misunderstanding?”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed with a cold light. He had arrived at the Zheng Clan’s residence quite early and had used his spirit sense to cover the entire region. Therefore, he had heard everything that Zheng Qianlong and the others had said earlier. Naturally, he knew that while this guy was acting sincere now, he was actually just telling a blatant lie!

“Kneel first and then we’ll talk.”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes looked over. Just as he spoke, an imposing aura spread out.

“You!”

Zheng Qianlong was furious. Before he could act, a suppressing force pushed down on him, almost forcing him to kneel. He used all of his might to struggle as anger and surprise surfaced in his heart.

He was the high and mighty head of the Zheng Clan and had always occupied a dominant position in Thousand Lake City. If he kneeled now, then how could he possibly show himself anymore in Thousand Lake City?

But what made Zheng Qianlong afraid was that no matter how hard he fought, his body was being pressed down by a force that he could not resist into the ground. This all happened within a blink of an eye.

Under these circumstances, his hair stood on end as he howled. He did his best to resist, but in the end, he still ended up kneeling on the ground. He wasn\'t sure how many bones had been broken, but it had been a bitter struggle.

“You’re just a simple advanced Spirit Sea cultivator. Do you really think that you can act like a king by hiding in this remote little town?”

Lin Xun’s voice was cold and apathetic.

This was truly a scenario where a mountain had no tiger, so the monkey proclaimed himself king. It reminded him of what Feiyun Village in the Ziyao Empire had been like. Lian Rufeng was only at the True Martial Stage, but he still oppressed all of the villagers in Feiyun Village as a tyrant. The people cried, but no one could resist.

Why was that?

That was because Feiyun Village had no strong cultivators!

The Zheng Family was in the same situation. They believed that since they held all of Thousand Lake City in their grasp, they could do as they pleased. Why was that?

It was because there was no cultivator strong enough to threaten them!

Unfortunately, they had to encounter Lin Xun today.

When Zheng Qianlong kneeled, all of the remaining elders in the room were completely shocked. Their hearts fell, and they began to tremble all over from pure fright.

Earlier, they had been very conceited and arrogant in their position. They didn’t view Lin Xun as anyone they needed to fear. However, now it was as if they were tender buds that had been exposed to an unexpected frost.

The contrast was too large, so it even made the old servant from the Yue Family bug out his eyes.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes were like lightning as he looked through everyone in the hall. “How come no one is talking now? Then you should all obediently kneel down!”

As soon as he voiced his last sentence, the sounds of people kneeling down echoed one after another. Within seconds, everyone except for Lin Xun, the old servant, and Yue Jianfei were kneeling on the ground.

Furthermore, throughout this whole time, Lin Xun didn’t move a single finger!

This kind of terrible might made all of the elders feel despair. They now realized that they had stumbled into a strong steel wall.

“If you want to kill, then just kill! Why do you need to humiliate us like this? After all, aren’t you just lording over the fact that you have power? Since it’s like that, what’s wrong with the way we treated Yue Jianfei?”

Unfortunately, the kneeling Zheng Yunqiao was incredibly resentful of this whole situation, so she began screaming madly.

This is not good!

Zheng Qianlong felt his heart sink even further. What she just said was too provoking. If the youth became really angry, they were absolutely screwed!
