C485 He Killed Yue Zhenyang
Yue Zhenyang clenched his teeth. He couldn’t control the anger in his chest.
This damn Palace of the Phoenix had revealed the incident five years ago and then killed the people of the Yue Family.
If they dared to target the Yue Family, they would have to get rid of him.
“Fourth Elder, go and gather the people. We will act tonight and completely get rid of this force.”
He clenched his teeth and said in a cold voice.
The Fourth Elder nodded and said, “Yes, Patriarch.”
Then, he was ready to put down the dead body in his arms and gather the people.
At this time, a large group of chaotic footsteps sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw the Patriarch of the Lin Family and the Patriarch of the Li Family leading a large group of people. They were approaching them aggressively.
Yue Zhenyang squeezed the space between his eyebrows. It was really a wave after another. This year was really a bad year.
After these few things were over, he had to get rid of his bad luck.
“Brother Lin, Brother Li, it’s so late. Why did you come to the Yue Family Castle?”
Yue Zhenyang’s face curved up into a fake smile. He pretended that he didn’t know anything and smiled as he greeted Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun.
Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun were first attracted by the dead body on the ground. A faint doubt flashed through their hearts. They were all curious about what was going on with the black body.
However, when they heard Yue Zhenyang’s fake words, they raised their heads.
Li Jingyun said angrily, “Yue Zhenyang, stop pretending. Why would Brother Lin and I come to the Yue Family Fort? Don’t tell me you didn’t see the newspaper sent by the Phoenix Palace today.”
“That’s right.”
Lin Yuan was also furious. He had long disliked Yue Zhenyang’s hypocritical and pretentious appearance. Now that he saw them, he didn’t feel guilty, but he still pretended to ask them why they were here. He had never seen such a shameless person.
“Yue Zhenyang, Brother Li and I are here to let you Yue Family give an explanation for what happened five years ago. Where is Yue Linglong? Hand her over.”
After Li Jingyun and Lin Yuan finished speaking, Yue Zhenyang’s expression was very ugly, but he still forced a smile on his face and said, “Brother Li, Brother Lin, I naturally saw the newspaper sent by the Phoenix Palace, but I can swear that this matter wasn’t done by Yue Linglong.”
“I think that the Phoenix Palace wanted to sow discord between the three big families of Ning Province, so they deliberately framed Yue Linglong. I hope you two can see through it.”
If they were worried about their Master’s dignity, Li Jingyun and Lin Yuan would really want to spit. How could he speak so confidently?
Lin Yuan snorted and said, “Yue Zhenyang, you can swear, right? Then you swear with your blood. Five years ago, Xiao-er and Li Xiaoran didn’t do anything to Yue Linglong. Otherwise, the Yue Family would have been destroyed. If you swear with your blood, Brother Li and I will believe you. What do you think?”
“That’s right.”
Li Jingyun said, “Since you said it was the Phoenix Palace that framed Yue Linglong, we will give you a chance to return her innocence. Yue Zhenyang, do you dare to swear with your blood?”
“This…”
Yue Zhenyang’s face darkened. He couldn’t say anything after saying one word.
Seeing his face, Li Jingyun and Lin Yuan knew that he was guilty. Otherwise, why would he hesitate? Shouldn’t he swear with his blood to prove his innocence?
“Humph, you don’t dare to do it, do you?”
Lin Yuan said coldly, “Yue Zhenyang, your Yue Family is really bold. You dare to touch the people of our Lin Family and Li Family. Do you really think that our Lin Family and Li Family have no one left? Hand Yue Linglong over, or else, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Li Jingyun nodded and said, “Brother Lin is right. Yue Zhenyang, hand Yue Linglong over to us and let us take her away. If you don’t give us an explanation today, this matter will never end.”
Yue Zhenyang’s face was dark. He said coldly, “Brothers, five years ago, Xiao Ran and Xiao Xiao had such a thing. I was also very sad, but I can assure you that it wasn’t Linglong’s doing.”
“Five years ago, Linglong went out to find her senior brother, Yun Zhantian. She wasn’t in the Northern Desolate Region at all. How could it be her doing?”
Yue Zhenyang paused for a second and continued, “How about this, brothers. Go back first. I will investigate this matter properly. I will give you an explanation. What do you think?”
He said it with sincerity, but Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun didn’t buy it at all.
Li Jingyun snorted coldly and said, “Yue Zhenyang, don’t try to deny it. No matter what you say today, it is useless. If you don’t want this matter to get out of hand, I advise you to hand over Yue Linglong quickly.”
“Hand over Yue Linglong quickly,” Lin Yuan said. “I, Lin Yuan, swear that I will get justice for my granddaughter, Lin Qianxiao, today.”
The two of them were extremely firm and didn’t look like they were negotiating at all.
Yue Zhenyang pinched the space between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and said tiredly, “Linglong has left Ning Province for a long time. Even if you two kill me, I can’t hand Linglong over.”
“She left?”
Li Jingyun obviously didn’t believe it and said angrily, “Yue Zhenyang, do you think I will believe you? Don’t think that you can just hide Yue Linglong and it will be over. If you don’t hand over Yue Linglong today, we won’t leave.”
Lin Yuan said coldly, “Even if she left, I think she fled after she saw the Feng Palace’s newspaper.”
Yue Zhenyang said helplessly, “Did Linglong really leave Ning Province three months ago and never come back? Do I need to lie to you about this?”
He snorted and said, “As for the matter of Lin Qianxiao and Li Xiaoran five years ago, you only heard the Feng Palace’s side of the story. There is no evidence at all, and you all concluded that it was Linglong who did it. Brothers, when have you been so trusting of rumors?”
“It’s not that we believe the rumors, but do you dare to swear an oath to prove your innocence?” Lin Yuan said.
Yue Zhenyang was so angry that he sneered and said, “Brother Lin, we haven’t done anything. Why should we swear an oath to prove our innocence? If I don’t swear an oath, you will accuse me of everything. Don’t say that Ling Long isn’t in Ning Province now. Even if she is, I won’t hand her over unless you can prove that Ling Long did it.”
“You…”
Li Jingyun was so angry that he almost couldn’t speak. He took a deep breath and said, “Since you won’t hand Ling Long over, we can only go and catch her ourselves.”
He turned to Lin Yuan and said, “Brother Lin, what do you think?”
“I think Brother Li is right. Since the Yue Family won’t hand her over, we will go and catch her ourselves.”
Lin Yuan’s voice was full of viciousness as he said, “Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you two take some people to the Yue Family and search.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
After he said that, the Third and Fourth Elders of the Lin Family stood up.
Li Jingyun also said, “Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, you two take some people with you and go with the Lin Family to search.”
“Yes, Patriarch!”
The two elders of the Li Family also stood up.
The four elders of the two families called over twenty disciples and squeezed into the Yue Family’s gate.
Yue Zhenyang’s face turned cold. He flashed and blocked the door. He waved his hand and a white crescent moon appeared. It was extremely bright in the dim night.
This was the martial skill of the Yue Family, the Moon Shadow Technique. It was said that the ancestor of the Yue Family had comprehended this skill from the Moonlight Stone.
In the dark night, the crescent moon flashed toward Lin Li and Li Jingyun. Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun looked at the crescent moon and instantly became furious. The two of them attacked at the same time.
The Li Family’s Spirit Refining Palm Technique and the Lin Family’s Wind Force attacked at the same time toward the Moon Shadow Technique of Yue Zhenyang.
The crescent moon was directly shattered. The enormous Spiritual Qi spread out in all directions. The twenty or so disciples nearby couldn’t dodge in time and were directly smashed to the ground, spitting out blood.
Yue Zhenyang took a step back to stabilize his body. He waved his sleeves and stared at Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun with his sharp eyes. He didn’t back down at all.
Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun also looked at him. They were secretly shocked in their hearts. This Yue Zhenyang’s cultivation was getting stronger and stronger. He was actually able to block the attacks of the two of them.
Luckily, the two families had come together. If it was any other family, they probably wouldn’t be able to fight against the Yue Family.
The atmosphere became tense. The two forces didn’t back down. They were in a stalemate.
At this time, two powerful auras spread out. Yue Zhenyang and Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun were both shocked. They raised their heads and heard the sound of rushing wind. Then, they saw two old men with snow-white beards and sage-like demeanors descend from the sky.
Then, a large group of people appeared.
Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun were stunned. What was going on? Why did all the strong cultivators of the Lin and Li Families come out? Even the two Patriarchs, who were immersed in cultivation, went out.
After being slightly stunned, Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun quickly returned to their senses. They bowed in front of Lin Yuan and Li Jingyun respectfully and said, “Patriarch.”
Patriarch Lin and Patriarch Li nodded. Their cold expressions were completely different from when they were together with Feng Yu.
Yue Zhenyang’s heart thumped when he saw the two strong cultivators at the gate. He had a bad feeling, and the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Even the disciples of the Yue Family felt the pressure and their bodies went soft. Their eyes were filled with fear.
Patriarch Li’s eyes locked onto Yue Zhenyang. Being locked on by such a powerful aura, Yue Zhenyang subconsciously tried to escape.
However, before he could raise his leg, a huge golden palm print was flying toward him. The aura of the half-step True Condensation Realm made him unable to move. He could only watch as the palm print pierced through his body.
Boom! Yue Zhenyang, who was at the peak of the Transformation Void Martial Stage, didn’t even have time to resist before his body exploded into a mess of blood.
This was the difference between the half-step True Condensation Realm and the peak of the Transformation Void Martial Stage.
Patriarch Li had accumulated his spiritual power for more than two hundred years. One could imagine how strong it was. It was far beyond what a cultivator at the peak of the Void Transformation Realm could compare with.
Everyone was stunned by this cruel scene. Their throats felt like they were being choked and they couldn’t make a sound.
