Chapter 1365 Surreal Turnaround
Xiang Shaoting’s and Ye Feiheng’s faces instantly became somber. It was undoubtedly a slap to their faces that their escorts were killed right before their eyes!
Lan Qinghen sighed softly, knowing that the situation was grave.
When such a bloody thing happened in the territory of the Cloud Weaver Clan, they had to shoulder the responsibility even if it wasn’t their members’ doing.
“It’s over for us...”
The expressions of the dignitaries flickered as they didn’t know who to resent.
Toady was a guest, and he had done it to help them, so how could they criticize him?
But his action had also turned them into an enemy of both the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan and the Ye Clan. The consequences made them tremble in fear just thinking about it.
The other Cloud Weaver clansmen were first shocked, and a refreshing feeling washed all over them. All they knew was that Toady had helped them vent a huge mouthful of anger!
“Looks like my matchmaking wish can’t be fulfilled. Heh, astounding. This is very astounding of you Cloud Weavers.” Ye Feiheng’s face was gloomy and his voice chilling.
“Fellow Daoist, please let me explain...” said Lan Qinghen.
“No need to explain. My people are all dead, what’s there to explain?” Ye Feiheng cut her off, then flung his hand and turned to leave.
“Hmph! Just you wait!” said Xiang Shaoting resentfully as he viciously swept a glance at the Cloud Weaver clansmen before hurriedly following Ye Feiheng.
“Who told you you could leave?” Lin Xun’s voice suddenly rang out.
“And who are you?” Xiang Shaoting was furious. The fact that a bunch of his entire escort team were killed had already made him lose face, and it only added fire to the fuel now that someone dared to retain him and Ye Feiheng.
“How dare you bastard talk to my big bro like that?! Kneel!” bellowed Toady as a terrifying pressure erupted from him and spread out, causing the area to change color.
Thud!
Xiang Shaoting fell to his knees without even reacting. It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. His tendons and bones were close to exploding.
Xiang Shaoting wasn’t stupid. He immediately asked for help upon feeling the threat of death, “Elder, save me!”
Ye Feiheng’s face changed. “Supreme King stage?”
Inwardly, he was appalled. The might that Toady released was subjecting him to a suffocating oppression.
Not only Ye Feiheng, everyone else present was also trembling. Who would have thought that this cynical green-robed youngster possessed such a terrifying might?
“What, weren’t you so high and mighty just now, but now you’re wimpy?” Toady snorted. At the seventh longevity tribulation King stage, he was in an overlooking position when the other party was only an old, normal King monster.
The gap between them was simply enormous!
If he wished to, then he would only need one single strike to erase Ye Feiheng’s existence!
“Hmph!” Ye Feiheng forced himself to calm down and coldly swept a glance at Toady before settling his gaze on Lan Qinghen. “Very formidable of you to invite a Supreme King to humiliate my Ye Clan. You Cloud Weavers just wait to be wiped out!”
Hearing this, the expressions of all the Cloud Weaver Clan members drastically changed, and chills seeped into their hearts.
“It seems that you still haven’t recognized your situation,” Lin Xun sighed and waved his hand.
Bang!
Ye Feiheng fell to his knees.
The audience was stupefied, unable to believe their eyes.
“How dare—!” roared the disheveled Ye Feiheng.
He was being suppressed on his knees in front of a big crowd, so the unspeakable feeling of shame triggered him so badly that he could no longer maintain his aloof demeanor and completely spun out of control.
Never once had he thought that a small Cloud Weaver Clan would have the guts to treat him like this. Are they not scared they’d be exterminated?
In fact, Lan Qinghen and the Cloud Weaver dignitaries were also dumbfounded. Despite having heard of Lin Xun’s notoriety before, it was only now when seeing it with their own eyes that they truly felt how befitting his ‘Demon God’ title was.
“I dare to kill even Saints. You think I’d be afraid of you old thing?” said Lin Xun indifferently.
Everyone’s heart trembled as they were finally reminded that nine whole Saints had died at Lin Xun’s hands not long ago, and each of them had come from a renowned major power!
The Ye Clan was indeed very powerful, but it was only one ancient lineage. How would Lin Xun be threatened by it when he wasn’t afraid of offending multiple of them at once?
“Kill Saints...” Xiang Shaoting was stupefied.
Ye Feiheng, on the other hand, realized something and screamed, “You...are...Lin Xun!?”
His eyes went so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets. The sight was somewhat comical, but no one laughed as everyone was still in shock.
“You only recognized him now? Well, at least you aren’t blind.” Toady sneered.
“I...” Ye Feiheng suddenly looked like his strength was all drained. His old face crumpled, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Outsiders might not know, but how could he not be aware of the relationship between Lin Xun and the Ye Clan?
Not to mention the storms that Lin Xun and their young master Ye Chen had weathered together, just not long ago when the fall of Saints had happened, even a Saint ancestor of extremely high status in the Ye Clan had personally set out to help Lin Xun!
Such a character was not someone that Ye Feiheng could afford to offend!
The most frightening thing was that the young man in front of him was a true demonic god who had slaughtered a number of Saints of various ancient lineages!
Ye Feiheng was certain that even if Lin Xun killed him today, his clan wouldn’t even blame Lin Xun if they knew.
Ye Feiheng just wanted to slap his own face. What the hell was I thinking, getting involved in a random business, playing matchmaker?!
Seeing Ye Feiheng’s fearful manner, the matriarch and the Cloud Weaver clansmen were dumbfounded. To think that the Ye Clan’s expert who they had been so apprehensive of was reduced to this state out of fear for Lin Xun...
It felt like a dream...
Ye Feiheng couldn’t care less about the eyes of others right now. He inhaled deeply and squeezed out a smile. “Master Lin, I...I didn’t expect to see you here. If I had known earlier, I absolutely wouldn’t have dared to do this. I hope that you can be magnanimous...”
Lin Xun cut him off, “You are a King stage expert of the Ye Clan. How can you be this spineless?”
Ye Feiheng nodded repeatedly. “You are right, Master Lin. This old man will definitely change, definitely!”
This time, not only Xiang Shaoting, but everyone else in the area also watched with their jaws agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.
No one had expected that they would see a powerful old King monster of the Ye Clan to act so obsequiously.
Lin Xun frowned. In the end, he waved his hand dismissively. “Get up. Go back to your clan and report this to Ye Chen. Tell him that I’ll take responsibility, and he can come find me to settle it. Also, I will not agree to this forced marriage.”
Ye Feiheng kept nodding as he crawled up. Only then did he feel like he was alive again. “Master Lin, I can settle this matter myself. I swear the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan will not cause trouble for the Cloud Weaver Clan ever again.”
Toady sneered, “Didn’t you say Ye Chen is marrying someone from the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan? You’re not afraid that you’ll offend your young master’s wife?”
Ye Feiheng hurriedly waved his hands. “What wife? She’s but a concubine, and not an officially recognized one at that. I don’t know if our young master will even take a look at her.”
Lin Xun and Toady finally understood.
Xiang Shaoting broke down and howled, “Senior, you...you can’t do this!”
The situation had changed so fast that his mind was a mess. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected to see a godly figure like a King monster of the Ye Clan be so miserable in front of Lin Xun.
Bang!
Ye Feiheng kicked Xiang Shaoting. “You damn idiot, we’re in trouble because of you! How dare you even cry to me?! I will slowly settle the score with you!”
This frightened Xiang Shaoting out of his mind, and his blood instantly ran cold. It’s over...
“Take him away,” Lin Xun cued them to leave.
“Thank you for showing mercy, Master Lin. This little old man will definitely deliver your message.” Ye Feiheng performed a deep bow before hurriedly dragging Xiang Shaoting away like a dead dog.
Watching them leave, the Cloud Weaver clansmen were dead quiet, seemingly in a trance. What had just happened was so surreal that it felt like a dream.
“It was settled just like that?” asked an old man dreamily.
Because of the forced marriage, their entire clan had been anxious and restless, thinking that a great disaster was befalling them.
But it was solved with just a few sentences from Lin Xun!
The impact of this was just too heavy.
“Of course. You think it’s fake?” Toady smiled.
“Truly unexpected...” Lan Qinghen heaved a long sigh, her expression complicated.
Her clansmen also revealed the same expression.
Lin Xun had said that he would help them resolve this, but it had gone in one ear and out the other. In fact, they had even been a bit perfunctory towards him.
But now, it turned out that they had all been wrong, outrageously wrong!
The calamity in their eyes was but a trivial matter to him that he could handle with just a few words!
As they recalled how they had treated Lin Xun before, they were ashamed, but grateful at the same time.
“Thank you so much, Master Lin.” Lan Qinghen bowed.
“Thank you, Master Lin!” The Cloud Weaver Clan’s members followed suit and bowed in unison.
Lin Xun’s timely appearance had helped them resolve a great disaster, so how could they not be grateful?
Their attitude toward him had all taken a complete turnaround.
Watching from far away, Zhao Jingxuan smiled. “Wasn’t it simple, lil’ sis? As long as Lin Xun wants to, it’s nothing troublesome at all.”
Caicai fiercely nodded, her eyes shining brightly as she said, “Young Master Lin is very powerful. I already knew this back in the Supreme Realm.”
Her innocent little face was filled with joy, excitement, and gratitude.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingxuan couldn’t help but feel a little worried. Don’t tell me this little girl is bewitched by him...
But she immediately spat at this thought, and her pretty face burned a little. What am I thinking? Caicai probably doesn’t even know what love is...
