Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Lawless

Casually tossing aside the Two-Stars Steward’s corpse, Lin Yun looked at the dumbfounded crowd and said coolly, "So, can you tell me the consequences now?"

Everyone stood frozen in place. They couldn’t possibly imagine where Lin Yun got such nerve. ’That was a Two-Stars Steward, and he just killed him without a second thought? What is this kid relying on? Does he really think his Cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Qi Sea Realm is enough to let him run wild in the servant disciple area?’

After a long moment, the crowd slowly came back to their senses. Boss Tang’s eyes were practically spitting fire. Lin Yun had dared to kill someone right in front of him—and a Two-Stars Steward, no less.

"You little bastard, you’ve gone completely mad! I will execute you on the spot!" Boss Tang roared.

With that, Boss Tang charged at Lin Yun. He was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm, and he didn’t believe he would lose. Besides, Lin Yun had killed one of his men in public. If he didn’t do something, what would be left of his authority?

Seeing Boss Tang make his move, the group of Two-Stars Stewards cheered loudly from behind. They didn’t dare provoke Lin Yun themselves, but Boss Tang’s Cultivation was plain to see. In their hearts, they were certain Boss Tang could kill Lin Yun.

"Boss Tang, kill that kid! He’s a bloodthirsty monster! Killing him is a service to Flawless Palace!"

"Yes, yes! Boss Tang is mighty...!" the crowd yelled.

But before they could finish their words, the entire main hall fell silent in an instant. The cheers died in their throats, forcefully suppressed.

In a single exchange, just as Boss Tang threw a punch, Lin Yun nonchalantly extended an arm and effortlessly caught it.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the unbearably arrogant Boss Tang was subdued by Lin Yun with ease.

Just like the Two-Stars Steward from before, Boss Tang was grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air by Lin Yun. In their confrontation, Boss Tang hadn’t even managed to withstand a single move before being so easily subdued.

With even Boss Tang subdued by Lin Yun, the crowd of Two-Stars Stewards’ shock turned to terror. What was Boss Tang’s Cultivation? The Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm!

And yet this very Boss Tang, who was just one step away from the Primordial Ocean Realm, was like an ant in Lin Yun’s hands, utterly powerless to struggle.

Held aloft by Lin Yun’s single hand, Boss Tang’s eyes filled with terror. He stammered, "Who... who in the world are you?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Me? I’m just a servant disciple," Lin Yun replied with a faint smile.

In that moment, Lin Yun had become a devil in their eyes. The group of Two-Stars Stewards, who had been clamoring just moments before, now shut their mouths obediently, looking as if they’d just swallowed flies.

Slowly sweeping his gaze over them, Lin Yun spoke coolly, "Anyone else want to kill me? Come at me together. Or, you could always escort me to the Punishment Hall."

Hearing this, each of them cursed inwardly. ’What a joke. Even Boss Tang, a Three-Stars Steward, couldn’t take a single move from you. You think we’d dare try to kill you?’

That’s what they thought, but no one dared to say it out loud. They just looked at Lin Yun, their eyes filled with deep-seated fear.

This handsome young man was an absolutely fearless daredevil. He’d killed a Two-Stars Steward without batting an eye, let alone a servant disciple. And from the looks of it now, if Boss Tang made one wrong move, he’d likely suffer the same fate.

"Ahem, Lin Yun, Boss Tang’s status is far beyond ours. Whatever the issue, why don’t you release him first? We can sit down and talk things over slowly," an older Two-Stars Steward said with a slight cough after a long silence from the crowd.

He was the oldest one present and had never done anything truly unconscionable. Although he knew that Boss Tang and his cronies were rotten to the core, he had never dared to oppose them, choosing to play it safe for his own survival.

Seeing how things had escalated, he finally stepped forward to mediate. After all, Boss Tang was a Three-Stars Steward. Killing him would cause a massive incident and would inevitably alert the upper echelons of Flawless Palace.

"That’s right! Lin Yun, just release Boss Tang first. We can sit down and discuss anything," the other Two-Stars Stewards chimed in, echoing the older man.

Looking at their two-faced expressions, the smile on Lin Yun’s face grew more sinister. ’These guys only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. If I didn’t have such overwhelming power, would they be offering to "talk things over"? They probably would have cut me down without a second thought.’

"Shut your mouths. We’re not talking. Now, I speak, you listen," he barked. At Lin Yun’s shout, the crowd tactfully fell silent. This was the advantage of strength. Regardless of their status, their lives were all in his hands. At this moment, no one dared to disobey Lin Yun.

Having silenced them, Lin Yun reviewed the plan already forming in his mind. He had no intention of holding back any longer. Besides, every single one of these guys was the scum of Flawless Palace. Lin Yun wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt for killing them.

"Tell me, was I in the wrong for what happened today?" Lin Yun asked in a low voice.

"Uh... no, not at all! They deserved to die! They were trying to bully you with their numbers! It’s a good thing you’re so powerful, Young Master Lin. You’ve eliminated the scum of Flawless Palace," one of the Two-Stars Stewards quickly said with a forced smile after a moment’s hesitation.

Looking at their phony smiles, Lin Yun knew they didn’t mean a word of it. ’These bastards don’t have a sincere bone in their bodies.’ They were only saying this to save their own skins, but that was exactly the result Lin Yun wanted.

"Good. In that case, was I wrong to kill a Two-Stars Steward?" Lin Yun asked again.

"Not at all, not at all! We all saw it. That man attacked first! He and Fatty Kong were birds of a feather. He was trying to kill you to silence you, Young Master Lin! But you, Young Master Lin, were like a god of war, and you struck the villain down instead!" the crowd replied again.

Listening to their answers, Lin Yun found that they caught on quick. He had only asked a simple question, and they already knew exactly how to answer.

The smile on his face widened as Lin Yun continued, "And if I were to kill Boss Tang right now, whose fault would that be?"

At this question, everyone fell silent. For one, Boss Tang wasn’t dead yet. And would Lin Yun really dare to kill him? He was a Three-Stars Steward, a position far beyond that of a Two-Stars Steward.

Seeing their silence, Lin Yun asked again, his voice turning icy. "What? Is that a difficult question to answer? I’ll count to three. Anyone who doesn’t answer will die."

No one thought Lin Yun was joking, nor did they doubt he would dare to kill them. But choosing between Lin Yun and Boss Tang put them in a truly difficult position. At the same time, they all thought, ’This Lin Yun is a lawless maniac! Could he really dare to kill Boss Tang?’
