However, he understood that he could not do that!
"Yun'er, now that they're by your side, you shouldn't run into any danger for now." The black-robed man chuckled softly as his eyes filled with a gentle light. "It's time for me to leave, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help or protect you very much for a while."
His eyes were filled with reluctance as he took one last look at the disappearing figures before he turned around and walked out of the city gates without another backward glance...
...
Two guards at the Lin family home saw the menacing trio heading towards them and immediately blocked their way forward.
"Stop! Who are you? Do you have an invitation?"
"Get out of the way!"
Bang!
An angry roar pierced through the sky and before either guard could react, their bodies were flung into the courtyard. Their eyes were wide with shock.
"Quick! Inform the Master! Someone has come to the Lin family home to stir up trouble!"
One of them quickly rose to his feet and rushed into the courtyard.
Not too long after, a group of people crowded around them as an old man walked quickly out of the courtyard.
The old man noticed Grand Lord Hong Lian in the middle of the courtyard and his facial expression turned from one of anger into shock. His complexion was now like dead ashes. "I never expected you to arrive so soon," he exclaimed with a pale face.
"Lin Yun, you old ignorant coot, you had torn my family apart and had tried to take my children's lives time and time again. Did it ever occur to you that this day would come?" Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed icily as he asked in a domineering manner.
Lin Yun closed his eyes. After a long pause, he slowly opened them again and there was a sneer in his gaze.
"What do you plan on doing to the Lin family? Don't forget the rules of First City, no matter the scale of your hatred, you cannot fully eliminate another organization! If you really plan to attack me, I'm afraid that the next thing you'll receive is the First City's punishment!"
"Hahaha!"
Grand Lord Hong Lian burst into laughter. His eyes were spitting balls of fire as he said, "Ignorant old man, I've waited for this day for a very long time. Do you really think that I'm going to spare you? That year, I, Gu Tian, had managed to survive despite the many powerful cultivators you had sent to hunt and kill me. If you were any other person from the First City, you would still suffer the same fate! The Lin family shall be destroyed today! Only then can I put my many years of rage to rest."
Lin Yun's entire body trembled with anger. Even his heart was thrown into disorder.
"Gu Tian, you are truly reckless! Do you really think that the Lin family can so easily be bullied by the likes of you? Let me tell you this, the Lin family was only following orders during the incident that year! The real person who had plotted to take Gu Shengxiao away is not someone that you should offend!"
Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed icily, "I don't care who was the one who had planned to lay their hands on my son, I won't let them get away with it either! Since the Lin family had given their aid to that party, you should know the consequences of your actions!"
Boom!
A great power spilled out from Grand Lord Hong Lian and crashed fiercely on Lin Yun.
Slam!
Lin Yun instantly stumbled backward. He then stared in shock at Grand Lord Hong Lian. "You had only broken through to the Martial Saint rank a year ago, how do you have such great power? How could you possibly have grown so rapidly?"
Lin Yun had initially thought that Dongfang Yu, who was the one who had killed the Charm Sect's Master, has a terrifying level of power. However, he never thought that in such a short period of time, Grand Lord Hong Lian's power would have increased substantially as well.
How on earth had he managed to do that?
