Chapter 732 - 731: There Is No Medicine for Regret

Chapter 732: Chapter 731: There Is No Medicine for Regret

Patriarch Li’s face was filled with terror as he looked at Bai Ling. His voice trembled as he asked, "Patriarch Bai, this Young Palace Master Lin Yun..."

"Patriarch Li, don’t harbor any illusions," Bai Ling replied coldly. "How many Young Palace Master Lin Yuns could there possibly be in Wind City? This time, your Li Family has brought ruin upon itself. No one can save you."

Lin Yun’s reputation now resounded throughout the entire Eastern Heart Domain. It wasn’t just known in Wind City; even the other four great cities were aware of his fame.

’Who could have ever imagined that the middle-aged man they’d strung up that day was actually Lin Yun’s father...’

"Alright, that’s enough idle talk. Move out! Leave no one from the Li Family alive, not even the dogs or chickens." Wasting no more time, Bai Ling gave the order, and the Bai Family guards immediately charged toward the members of the Li Family.

The moment the Bai Family guards moved, the He Family also launched their attack. Facing the combined assault of the two great families, a large number of the Li Family’s guards were quickly cut down.

Fighting as he fell back into the courtyard, Patriarch Li shouted to Bai Ling and Patriarch He, "Patriarch He, Patriarch Bai, show mercy! My Li Family didn’t know! I beg you, give the Li Family a chance!"

Hearing Patriarch Li’s desperate shouts, Patriarch He and Bai Ling showed no sign of stopping. Patriarch He yelled back, "Patriarch Li, there are no second chances in this world! When you do something, you must bear the consequences."

Soon, the Martial Artists from the Bai and He Families stormed into every corner of the Li Family estate, killing everyone on sight. Whether they were servants or Maids, not a single person was spared.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Li was already engaged by Bai Ling and Patriarch He. Both of them possessed Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivation, whereas Patriarch Li was only at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. He was captured by the pair in an instant.

The outcome of this battle was never in doubt. The disparity in strength was too great. The Li Family couldn’t even mount a decent counterattack before being utterly routed. All that remained was a frenzied slaughter.

As for the Li Family’s four Honored Guest Elders, they were tied up by the Honored Guest Elders from the Bai and He Families. However, judging by their performance, the Bai and He Family Honored Guest Elders were clearly not trying their best.

Two-on-one, they still hadn’t managed to defeat the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders after a long time.

"We all came to Wind City seeking refuge. Why do you have to be so ruthless?" one of the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders said amidst the clash.

Hearing this, the Bai and He Family Honored Guest Elders pondered for a moment before one of them spoke. "I’ll give you three breaths of time. Whether you can escape or not is up to you."

With that, the two Bai Family Honored Guest Elders deliberately created an opening, allowing the man to escape.

The two He Family Honored Guest Elders did the exact same thing, also letting a Li Family Honored Guest Elder escape.

Bai Ling and Patriarch He, having just captured Patriarch Li, saw their own Honored Guest Elders willfully letting the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders escape. They instantly roared in fury.

"Are you trying to get yourselves killed? Capture the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders at once!"

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Ling and Patriarch He, three of the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders were ultimately captured, but two still managed to escape.

Bai Ling and Patriarch He each glared at their two Honored Guest Elders. Patriarch He cursed mercilessly, "You’re courting death! If the Young Palace Master finds out about this, ten heads wouldn’t be enough for you to lose!"

Hearing Patriarch He’s words, the four elders finally recalled the potential consequences. They had acted out of old camaraderie, as they had all fled from the Taiqing Academy’s territory together. They hadn’t stopped to think just how severe the consequences of defying Lin Yun would be.

"Patriarch..." The four men looked at Patriarch He and Bai Ling, words caught in their throats.

At that moment, before the two Honored Guest Elders who had escaped the Li Family estate could even rejoice, a tiny, fist-sized monkey appeared in front of them.

"My big brother said not a single person from the Li Family is allowed to escape," Little Ape said calmly, looking at the two men.

A fist-sized monkey that could actually speak human words. For a moment, the two men found it strange, but their lives were on the line. They paid no attention to what Little Ape said and, without stopping, ran straight toward it.

In their eyes, what kind of fighting prowess could a mere fist-sized monkey possess? ’Judging by its looks, it probably doesn’t even count as a Demon Beast.’

However, just as the two of them were five meters away from Little Ape, the seemingly harmless creature’s body suddenly began to grow. Before their dumbfounded eyes, Little Ape expanded to a towering height of ten meters.

Its blood-red fur was terrifying to behold, and the ferocious aura of a Tier Five Demon Beast erupted into the heavens.

The mere pressure erupting from Little Ape was enough to send the two men sprawling to the ground. Who could have imagined that this tiny, fist-sized creature was actually a Tier Five Demon Beast?

The might that Little Ape unleashed was felt by every major family in Wind City. Thinking the city was being invaded by a Demon Beast, they all dispatched men to follow the aura and investigate.

Facing Little Ape, these two Li Family Honored Guest Elders were completely powerless. A Tier Five Demon Beast? That was a joke. How could two Celestial Spirit Realm Martial Artists possibly handle such a creature, let alone a peerless monster like Little Ape?

With a mere wave of its hand, Little Ape subdued the two men. Without lingering, it carried them back to the Li Family’s courtyard.

The ten-meter-tall Little Ape descended from the sky, striking terror into the hearts of the Bai and He Family members. Who could have imagined that the little monkey dispatched by Lin Yun was actually a Tier Five Demon Beast?

Looking at Patriarch Bai and Patriarch He, Little Ape said flatly, "I have brought the escapees from the Li Family back. As for these four who willfully let the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elders go, I’m taking them back too, to await my big brother’s judgment."

Hearing Little Ape’s words, the faces of the four Honored Guest Elders from the Bai and He Families drained of color. They all turned to look at Bai Ling and Patriarch He at once.

However, faced with their pleading gazes, neither Patriarch He nor Bai Ling had any intention of speaking up for them.

After all, the four of them were the ones in the wrong. They had willfully let the Li Family’s Honored Guest Elder go, which was a direct defiance of Lin Yun. How could Bai Ling and Patriarch He possibly speak on their behalf?

Besides, the fierce and malevolent aura currently radiating from Little Ape shocked both Patriarch He and Bai Ling. Forget about Lin Yun; right now, neither of them dared to defy even Little Ape.

Without waiting for Patriarch He and Bai Ling to speak, Little Ape waved its massive hand, taking away all the captured people from the Li Family, as well as the four Honored Guest Elders who had let the others escape.

Watching Little Ape’s retreating figure, Bai Ling and Patriarch He wore ugly expressions. Faintly, they could still hear the four elders’ shouts.

"Patriarch, save me! I didn’t mean to! I’ll never do it again!"

The four men finally knew fear. But as Patriarch He himself had told Patriarch Li, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
