Chapter 2280: Reason



"Son! My son!" Yun Wushuang rushed towards Yun Lintian, her arms outstretched. He embraced her, his heart overflowing with a love that had been suppressed for far too long.

They stood there for a long moment, their bodies entwined, their tears mingling. The crowd watched in silence, their hearts touched by the reunion of mother and son.

Yun Lintian couldn't describe his current mood. He felt both confused and relieved at the same time. The woman in his embrace was, in fact, a stranger to him, but he somehow felt extremely close. Perhaps it was as the saying goes, "blood is thicker than water." No one could simply deny a blood connection.

Suddenly, a cold voice shattered the tranquility.

"How touching. A heartwarming family reunion amidst a scene of carnage."

Yun Xue, the Palace Master of the Misty Cloud Palace, emerged from the shadows, her figure radiating an icy aura. Her eyes, cold and unforgiving, were fixed on Yun Lintian.

"You have caused quite a stir, young man," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I must commend you on your audacity."

Yun Lintian released Yun Wushuang from his embrace and turned to face Yun Xue. His expression hardened, his eyes blazing with a newfound determination.

"Palace Master Yun," he said, his voice firm and unwavering. "I have come to take my mother away."

Yun Xue's lips curled into a cruel smile. "And what makes you think I will allow that?"

"Because I have the power to do so," Yun Lintian replied, his voice laced with an icy calm.

Yun Xue's eyes narrowed, her aura surging like a tempestuous storm. "Arrogant fool. You dare to challenge my authority?"

"I do not challenge your authority," Yun Lintian said, his voice steady. "I merely assert my right to protect my mother."Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Yun Xue laughed, her voice echoing through the ravaged avenue. "Protect your mother? You are a fool. You have no idea what you are up against."

Yun Wushuang's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at Yun Xue. Yun Xue had made a promise that she would stay away from Yun Lintian and Yun Wuhan. Unexpectedly, she broke the promise. This disappointed Yun Wushuang further.

"We can't afford to take a risk," Yun Mucheng answered.

"Enough," Yun Xue interrupted. She took a deep look at Yun Wushuang and said, "From now on, we owe nothing. You can leave."

Yun Wushuang trembled slightly upon hearing this. She bit her lips and knelt to the ground, performing a kowtow. "Thank you for taking care of me over the years, Master. Please take care."

Yun Lintian helped Yun Wushuang get up from the ground. The anger in his heart toward Yun Xue had vanished. It would be a lie if he said he didn't want to make her pay the price, but it would undoubtedly hurt his mother.

He looked at Yun Xue and said, "You must have imprisoned Yun Mengxue. Release her. She's innocent... Farewell."

Yun Lintian turned around and prepared to leave.

Yun Xue's phoenix eyes followed Yun Lintian's every move, her heart conflicted. She had seen potential in him, a spark of defiance that mirrored her own rebellious youth. Yet, she had also witnessed the ruthless efficiency with which he had dispatched the Sacred Flame Palace elders.

Perhaps this young man would grow into a figure who shakes the entire Holy Lands in the near future.

As Yun Lintian and Yun Wushuang stepped outside, a wave of oppressive heat washed over them, the air shimmering and distorting under the weight of an immense power.

The sky darkened, the sun obscured by a colossal figure that loomed over the Misty Cloud

Palace.

It was the Sacred Flame God, Huo Yanzeng, his body ablaze with a searing inferno. His eyes, burning with a righteous fury, were fixed on Yun Lintian.

"You are quite brave. From your expression, it seems you've been waiting for my arrival," he said coldly, his voice like thunder rolling across the heavens.

His aura surged, the very fabric of reality trembling under its immense pressure. The ground cracked and crumbled, the mountains shook, and the rivers boiled...
