Chapter 2276: Cloud Fury (1)



Huo Jiuming leaned in, his lips brushing against her cheek. Yun Wushuang flinched, her body recoiling from his touch.

Yun Lintian's eyes turned cold, a murderous intent emerged within his heart. He swept his gaze around the avenue, locating formation nodes. It would become useful when a battle broke out.

Yun Mucheng cleared her throat, her voice cutting through the tense atmosphere. "Sacred Son Huo, please restrain yourself. The ceremony has not yet begun."

Huo Jiuming reluctantly stepped back, his eyes still fixed on Yun Wushuang. "As you wish, Elder Yun. But soon, she will be mine, and I will do as I please."

The ceremony proceeded, with Yun Mucheng officiating the betrothal. She recited the traditional vows, her voice echoing through the avenue.

Yun Wushuang stood motionless, her eyes vacant and her expression blank. She seemed to be in a trance, her mind detached from the proceedings.

Yun Lintian suppressed the anger in his heart and watched everything unfolding in silence. He was waiting... waiting for someone to show him a color.

"I thought you were quite brave but it seemed I was wrong."

A cold female voice echoed in Yun Lintian's ears.

Yun Lintian raised his head slightly, he was waiting for this person to show up all along. She was certainly the Misty Cloud Palace Master, Yun Xue.

"Is this your decision?" he asked calmly.

"Yes," Yun Xue replied indifferently. "You guessed it right. I forced her to do this. This is the last bit of value she has."

"Why?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Why do I have to tell you my reason? Who do you think you are?" Yun Xue's cold voice resounded.

"Originally, I thought the Misty Cloud Palace was upright and reasonable. It seemed I was overthinking." Yun Lintian said calmly.

Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but no words came out. All she could do was stare at her son, her heart overflowing with a love that had been suppressed for far too long.

Huo Jiuming's face turned cold. He had been waiting for this moment, for Yun Lintian to reveal himself.

"So, you've finally shown your face," Huo Jiuming sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "I thought you were a coward."

He turned to his entourage, his eyes flashing with a cruel light. "Capture him. Alive, if possible. But if he resists, kill him."

A tall elder got up from his seat and rushed toward Yun Lintian like an eagle. His hand transformed into a fiery claw, aiming at Yun Lintian's neck. The aura he unleashed caused the onlookers to cry out in alarm. This person was a High God.

"Watch out!" Fu Mingyao subconsciously blurted out, making Chu Che's expression darken.

Yun Lintian remained calm, his expression unreadable. As the elder closed in, he gently lifted his hand to meet the oncoming fiery claw.

Bang!

The elder's claw struck Yun Lintian's bare hand, and the surrounding flames immediately dispersed.

The elder's eyes widened in shock. He tried to retract his hand, but it was futile. Yun Lintian's grip was like a steel pincer, holding him firmly in place.

Yun Lintian swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "Those who have nothing to do with this should leave. Don't blame me later."

Crackle!

As Yun Lintian's voice fell, a bone-crackling noise echoed. Under everyone's gaze, the elder's entire arm twisted into an exaggerated shape. Not just his arm, but his shoulder, neck, and torso-everything contorted in an inhumane way. The elder no longer resembled a human. The crowd watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disbelief. They had never witnessed such overwhelming power, such effortless brutality.

"He..." Fu Mingyao uttered in shock. She had witnessed Yun Lintian's actions before, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Yun Lintian threw the elder's remains onto the ground and said calmly, "So, no one wants to

leave?"
