Chapter 0599: The Wrath of the Long Family

Chapter 0599: The Fury of the Long Family

Qin Yun and Chu Binyu left the Eastern Qiwen Temple.

They returned to their residence in the Immortal Soldier Palace and displayed the head of the Long Family’s patriarch at the entrance of the house.

Qin Yun’s actions caused an uproar throughout the Outer Sect district.

Many disciples gathered to see the patriarch’s head.

The Long Family members were furious over this incident.

Not long after Qin Yun displayed the head, many Long Family juniors arrived.

These Long Family juniors were merely Outer Sect disciples of the Immortal Soldier City, and they were quite weak.

Upon seeing Chu Binyu and Qin Yun, they didn’t dare say much and could only wait for their elders to arrive.

On the way back, Qin Yun told Chu Binyu why he had done it—to see if the Immortal Soldier City really planned to protect him.

If the city did not protect him, he would have to leave immediately.

Chu Binyu didn’t know Yang Shiyue had gotten the Star Monarch Rune Soul, so he didn’t realize how serious Qin Yun’s situation was.

Qin Yun and Chu Binyu stood by the entrance to stop anyone from taking the patriarch’s head.

Soon, the Long Family’s Core Disciples arrived.

Many Core Disciples appeared, along with members of other families.

Long Ziming, Long Qiaofeng, and Long Kuangxing were there too.

Ji Lang, Tian Yaolei, and Yang Shenglong were also present.

Ji Lang, in particular, shot Qin Yun a murderous glare, as he had been utterly humiliated by Qin Yun in the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm.

Qin Yun grinned at Long Kuangxing and the others, saying, "Are you here to mourn?"

"Qin Yun, give us back our patriarch’s head!"

Long Kuangxing hated Qin Yun deeply—he had lost a thousand merit points and got beaten to a humiliating pulp by Qin Yun.

"If you have the guts, come and take it!" Qin Yun took out a chair, sat cross-legged, and smiled faintly.

With such a big scene unfolding, members of the Dharma Protector Hall also arrived. Several black-robed elders stood watching. They were all Martial Masters at the Spirit Martial Realm.

If any disciples engaged in private combat, they would immediately intervene and arrest them.

Long Ziming addressed one of the black-robed elders from the Dharma Protector Hall, saying, "Elder of the Dharma Protector Hall, isn’t Qin Yun violating the rules by displaying a head here? Arrest him at once!"

"What he displays at the entrance of his residence is not our business. You are free to display heads at your own doors as well," replied the black-robed elder.

Long Kuangxing glared at Qin Yun and roared, "Qin Yun, you arrogant bastard! Provoking our Long Family like this will lead to a miserable death!"

"Long Kuangxing, watch your mouth!" Qin Yun said coldly. "When you enter the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm again, be careful—I’ll make sure you experience agony all over again!"

Mentioning this incident only fueled Long Kuangxing’s rage.

He had been humiliated by Qin Yun, lost an entire battalion, and suffered a complete defeat, becoming the laughingstock of many Core Disciples.

Long Kuangxing and Long Ziming had both been defeated by Qin Yun, and their forces were wiped out, causing the Long family's reputation in the Immortal Armament City to plummet.

The Long family, once extremely arrogant, now found themselves unable to show their faces in the city after such incidents.

This was also why Chu Binyu and the others were willing to give Qin Yun six Bone Spirit Mystic Pills—Qin Yun had indeed suppressed the clan factions and humbled the arrogance of the top disciples.

Long Kuangxing bellowed in rage, his body overflowing with surging Hunyuan Dao Force. The phantom of a twin-headed purple-gold dragon materialized behind him, roaring incessantly.

"Qin Yun, I swear I’ll skin you alive with my own hands!" Long Kuangxing shouted in fury.

"With your pitiful strength? What makes you think you can skin me alive? Just that trash-talking mouth of yours?" Qin Yun burst out laughing, showing no fear of Long Kuangxing.

At this moment, Hua Xiyue arrived as well. Though he was from the Dharma Protector Hall, his resentment toward Qin Yun led him to stand alongside Long Kuangxing and the others.

"Qin Yun, Long Kuangxing has inherited bloodline power, and I possess the Profound Body. These abilities were severely nerfed in the Immortal Armament Illusory Realm!" Hua Xiyue said coldly. "The only reason you defeated us there was because more than half of my strength was suppressed!"

Long Ziming quickly added, "Exactly! Yet you, Qin Yun, crow like you're unbeatable, unaware that others were operating at half their power!"

"So what? In the Immortal Armament City, you were all thrashed like squealing hogs by me—hahaha!" Qin Yun sneered with mocking laughter.

If restrictions were the issue, his Sky Lion Mystic Body had also been greatly limited.

Even in reality, with his current strength, he could still mop the floor with Hua Xiyue and Long Kuangxing.

Long Kuangxing and Hua Xiyue were fuming with rage, yet they dared not act.

At that moment, several elders arrived—all at the Martial King realm, with one even at the Emperor Wu rank.

Seeing these elders, Chu Binyu’s expression turned grave.

The Emperor Wu elder, his white robe fluttering in the wind, gazed at Qin Yun with deep, murderous eyes, his face dark as water. "Qin Yun, I’ll give you one chance. Cut off your own head, kneel, and hand it over to me. Otherwise, you won’t see tomorrow!"

Hearing the elder’s ruthless words, the crowd quickly retreated to a distance.

It was clear—this elder was about to strike!

Long Kuangxing and Long Ziming were overjoyed, standing behind the elders.

Long Qiaofeng, however, was somewhat worried. Not daring to distance herself, she could only follow Long Kuangxing and the others, standing behind the elders.

Chu Binyu sneered, "Do you intend to take action within the Immortal Armament Palace?"

The Long family’s Emperor Wu said coldly, "Chu Binyu, your Swordblade Manor has provoked our Long family more than once! Do you wish for us to declare war on your faction?"

"If your Long family has the guts, go ahead and try!" Chu Binyu showed no fear whatsoever.

The Long family’s Emperor Wu shouted, "Qin Yun, I won’t waste words. I’ll count to ten. Within that time, you must kneel and hand me your head!"

"Don’t bother counting. I will never hand it over!" Qin Yun’s stance was defiant. "This was your Long family’s doing from the start. In the future, more of your clan’s powerhouses will lose their heads—unless you admit your wrongs completely!"

"Delusional!" The Long family’s Emperor Wu roared, unleashing an overwhelming power that surged forward.

Chu Binyu swiftly intervened, summoning a massive blade and sword to block the dragon-shaped aura.

These were Chu Binyu’s dual martial souls—both purple-gold in hue.

His blade and sword were wreathed in flames, likely the Flaming Blade and Flaming Sword Purple-Gold Martial Souls, a terrifying combination.

The Long family’s Emperor Wu, meanwhile, wielded the Purple-Gold Dragon Crocodile Martial Soul—not a pure dragon, but a hybrid, making it not the most powerful.

Take Long Qiaofeng's twin dragon-phoenix martial souls—they're pure dragon bloodlines. Even Long Kuangxing's purple-gold twin-winged dragon is a mixed-blood variant.

"Everyone, stand down!" It was Granny Ma's voice.

Granny Ma, top-tier in seniority and strength, was one of the most respected figures in Immortal Armament City, where the five Dharma Protectors wielded great authority.

Granny Ma ran most of the day-to-day operations.

As soon as Granny Ma appeared, the Emperor Wu realm expert from the Long family immediately pulled back.

"Who threw the first punch?" Granny Ma asked, looking at a black-robed elder.

"Elder Long attacked Qin Yun, while Elder Chu just defended himself! Elder Chu didn't retaliate, only blocked!" the black-robed elder replied.

"Elder Long, as a senior elder, you knowingly violated our city regulations! I sentence you to five years of confinement!" Granny Ma's words sent murmurs through the crowd of disciples.

Elder Long, an Emperor Wu realm expert who had served as an elder at the main gate of Immortal Armament City for a long time, found that Granny Ma wasn't cutting him any slack.

"Granny Ma, are you blind to what happened? Qin Yun hung the head of our Long family’s patriarch there! I was just claiming back what belongs to our Long family!"

Elder Long was indignant. He believed that as a senior figure in Immortal Armament City, the Dharma Protector Hall would go easy on him.

Yet now, Granny Ma intended to confine him for five years!

"These are your personal grudges. Settle them elsewhere! Within Immortal Armament Palace, you can talk trash all you want, but hands stay to yourselves! If you wish to fight, leave Immortal Armament City and resolve it outside!"

Granny Ma said coldly, "As for Qin Yun hanging the head, he did not violate our city regulations!"

"Granny Ma, you're shielding Qin Yun!" Elder Long roared in anger. The other Long family elders and dozens of Long family disciples were boiling mad.

"Shielding? You must provide evidence to prove that I'm shielding Qin Yun. Otherwise, slandering a Dharma Protector of the Dharma Protector Hall is an even greater offense. If you cannot provide proof, I will extend your confinement by ten years—making it fifteen total!"

Granny Ma's ice-cold voice left everyone around trembling with fear.

Elder Long was instantly rendered speechless.

"If you don't want an additional ten years of confinement, present evidence that I shielded Qin Yun. If you can provide proof, I will resign as a Dharma Protector, leave Immortal Armament City, and never set foot in Immortal Armament Palace again!"

Granny Ma's voice crackled with authority, pressing down on Elder Long until he broke into a cold sweat.

Elder Long had long known that Granny Ma was not to be trifled with, but he never expected her to show no mercy even to an Emperor Wu realm expert.

Suppressing his rage, Elder Long dared not speak further.

"Elder Long, having been in Immortal Armament Palace for so many years, you should be well aware of our city regulations! Answer me—did Qin Yun violate any rules by hanging the head at the gate?" Granny Ma pressed.

"No! But his actions were utterly shameless and cruel! He provoked our Long family first!" Elder Long glared at Qin Yun.

"Since he did not violate our city regulations, the harm his actions caused to your Long family is not the Dharma Protector Hall's problem!" Granny Ma said coldly. "Resolve your grudges far from this Immortal Armament City!"

"With so many disciples in Immortal Armament Palace, many hold grudges against one another. If they all started throwing hands within the palace, wouldn’t it descend into chaos? You may talk shit, but throwing hands will be punished!"

Granny Ma's face was stern, her overwhelming aura leaving Elder Long white-faced.
