Chapter 14: Indulgence to This Extent
Lian Yun remembered that Lin Dong was not particularly bad towards Ximen Qianlie; he was a real person, at least not hiding any secrets. However, he never expected this real person to be so lacking in taste.
If it weren't for Lian Yun's intervention, Lin Nan would have either died or spent a year and a half bedridden after the earlier attack. It was evident how malicious Ximen Qianlie was, given that he struck so ruthlessly despite his family's prior mistakes.
Thus, Lian Yun did not hold back either.
Perhaps only a few in the audience could see Lian Yun's movements clearly, but almost all the Monarchs in the league's audience knew exactly what Lian Yun had done.
However, Ximen Qianlie, who had been knocked away by Lin's Three Uncles, did not witness Lian Yun's actions.
A few seconds had passed, and Ximen Bay remained motionless, seemingly too shocked to react.
Ximen Qianlie did not linger; he didn't even glance at the Lin Clan's stand as he approached to take Ximen Bay away. But as soon as he touched Ximen Bay—
Ximen Bay's Ghost Group Ring silently turned to dust.
“Pfft~~~ Ah~~~~”
Suddenly, blood gushed from all seven of Ximen Bay's orifices as he let out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed with despair.
Ximen Qianlie abruptly turned his head, glaring fiercely at Lian Yun and shouted, “You vile creature!”
Yet Lian Yun remained unfazed, focused intently on massaging Grandma's shoulders and back.
The poison was initially Lin Nan's own oversight; turning his back on Ximen Bay before determining the outcome of their confrontation was a mistake that allowed Ximen Bay to attack without any obstruction from the Lin Clan.
The second time was different. In a true life-and-death struggle, it didn't matter whether one admitted defeat or not. Because this was the League, where killing was prohibited, conceding meant one could not retaliate.
Therefore, Ximen Bay's actions were intolerable; indeed, the League should be even less forgiving of Ximen Bay's behavior than the Lin Clan.
Because if the Alliance sheltered Ximen Bay, it would mean that the Alliance tacitly approved of killing in the Alliance Tournament.
It’s not that I admit defeat; rather, if such things can be tolerated, it implies that every battle isn’t considered over until the opponent is rendered completely immobile, and the best outcome for an opponent being immobile is death.
However, even with Ximen Bay's actions, the Lin Family initially did not intervene. Yet, as the wrongdoer, Ximen Qianlie was the first to strike, and his attack was filled with such hatred that there was not a trace of a Monarch’s demeanor or any semblance of elder respect.
If the Lin's Three Uncles could endure without taking action in this matter, then among their peers, they had no reason to hold back.
In front of nearly all the high-ranking members of the Alliance, to openly declare that he would seek revenge on the Xi Men Family was tantamount to disregarding the entire Alliance.
Now, Ximen Qianlie even insulted Lian Yun.
This truly would make even a Buddha furious.
Before Lin's Three Uncles could react, Grandma suddenly waved her hand.
A blade with a snake-skin pattern appeared out of thin air before Ximen Qianlie’s chest. By the time it manifested, the tip of the ancient sword had already pierced into Ximen Qianlie's chest.
With a thunderous crash, Ximen Qianlie was sent crashing down into the Arena below, and this massive Arena, measuring two hundred meters in length and width, cracked with countless fissures.
“Wow~~~~”
A one-hit kill; even an established Monarch could be taken down in an instant. What kind of power is this?
Lin's Three Uncles felt a mix of excitement and slight shame.
How long had it been since they had seen their mother take action? Today’s display showed her strength surpassing even her past prowess.
The shame came from the fact that it was rare for their mother to step out, yet as her sons, they had failed to provide her with peace of mind and instead compelled her to act. This was indeed somewhat unfilial.
However, since Grandma has already taken action, the three elders could no longer intervene.
Naturally, Grandma would seek justice for the two younger generations.
Yet before Grandma could say anything, someone from the Alliance High Command stepped forward and declared, "Ximen Bay has violated the League's rules and is disqualified from the competition. Nan Zilin Nan is the winner!"
"Ximen Qianlie acted on his own accord, lacking virtue and bringing shame to the reputation of the Alliance. His senior status is revoked, and all rights within the Alliance are canceled, effective immediately!"
This was the Alliance's way of addressing the Lin Family and tacitly acknowledging that the Lin Clan would pursue trouble with the Xi Men Family.
There was nothing to criticize about this decision, but the Alliance's concession to the Lin Family still caused an uproar.
Just then—
Boom! Underneath the Arena, Ximen Qianlie burst forth, covered in blood, seizing Ximen Bay and vanishing from sight.
Ximen Bay was already incapacitated, yet Ximen Qianlie still cared about his life, which showed how much he truly loved his grandson.
At this moment, it should have been a time for peace, but Grandma remained somewhat indifferent as she said, "Dong, Xi, go and eliminate half of the Ximen Family's forces. If they resist stubbornly, revocation is also acceptable."
Revocation is also acceptable...
Grandma was strong-willed and domineering.
However, Lin Dong and Lin Xi showed no hesitation at all; they smiled as they bowed in acknowledgment before disappearing on the spot, almost like mischievous children who enjoyed causing trouble.
In response to Grandma's decision, many Monarchs in the stands of various families within the Alliance felt their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
They all knew that after years of remaining in seclusion, Grandma was genuinely enraged this time. The reason for her fury was simply that Ximen Qianlie had insulted her ally behind a Mask—Cloud Emperor Lian Yun.
Long before, Grandma had shown an unusual affection for the Cloud Emperor, but no one expected it to reach such heights. This made the group who had proposed to harm Lian Yun three years ago feel a chill run down their spines.
At the Arena, four towering figures suddenly emerged from the ground at its corners. They pressed their hands against the Arena, causing it to tremble violently.
In no time, a perfectly square Arena measuring two hundred meters on each side was firmly established in place.
The four Emperor Level Earth Spirits could only be summoned by a force as powerful as the Alliance. Their presence silently conveyed that the Alliance was not yielding; they were merely providing justice for the Lin Clan.
In the final match of the fourth round, Cloud Emperor Lian Yun faced Hercules—Philip, while Dong Zisun Chen Dong battled Beizi Beiqilin. Heroic King Xia Wanhou went up against Majestic King Ren Chunqiu, and Night God Ryan Wicks clashed with God of Light Ophiric.
Each participant bore titles, indicating that this was a climactic showdown.
Moreover, in the West, particularly in former European countries, it was common to use names from European mythology as titles. Hercules was known as a demigod of immense strength, suggesting that Philip might indeed possess divine power.
As for Beizi and North Qilin, he was someone who worked diligently in silence. Lian Yun held a certain fondness for him.
Without any pretense, Lian Yun removed the more than ten pairs of wings from his back and ascended to the Arena almost simultaneously with the other three. The remaining four stood at the edge of the Arena, showing no intention of joining the battle.
"Congratulations, Brother Yun! Your strength has improved even more than before!" Sun Chendong said with a cheerful smile, his handsome face lighting up in a way that surpassed even that of a stunning beauty.
