"My goodness! From this day forward, Zhang Yun's fame will resound throughout the entire Yunwu Sect!"
The disciples of Yunwu Sect were all discussing it excitedly, marveling at Zhang Yun's heaven-defying strength, and feeling a deep sense of awe and fear.
"Zhang Yun, how dare you! Release him at once!"
Lu Wuyai's aura surged, and he took a step that covered several zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Even though Zhang Yun, a cultivator at the Pulse Wheel Realm, possessed many trump cards, he had little chance to react in front of a powerful expert at the Heavenly Origin Realm. However, Zhang Yun remained fearless in the face of danger.
"If you take another step forward, I'll kill him!"
A boundless killing intent erupted from Zhang Yun's mouth, instantly filling the heavens and earth.
"You dare!"
Lu Wuyai's loud, booming roar echoed out, his voice filled with domineering arrogance.
It was as if as long as he was there, no one would dare to touch Zhang Zigu in the slightest.
However, he was also hesitant to act rashly, and thus withdrew his powerful palm strike.
At that moment, the whole world suddenly fell silent.
Although Zhang Yun easily captured Zhang Zigu and intended to cripple his cultivation, Lu Wuyai, the peak master of Lingzhu Peak, refused to allow it.
The high-ranking officials, including Luo Chen, watched this scene in silence.
Their silence was tantamount to acquiescing to Lu Wuyai's actions.
If Zhang Yun remains obstinate and dares to act rashly, then he may be met with Lu Wuyai's endless wrath.
Within the inner sect of Yunwu Sect, who doesn't know that Lu Wuyai and Zhang Zigu's father are longtime close friends?
Under such circumstances, someone else might have chosen to let Zhang Zigu go in order to protect themselves.
But Zhang Yun is indeed no ordinary person.
His hand was still gripping Zhang Zigu's throat tightly, and his cold eyes swept over the group of high-ranking figures on the podium.
"Before I cripple Zhang Zigu, I want to ask Seniors Qi Zhibai and Yuan Feifan: if I hadn't agreed to become one of your disciples back then, and my crimes had been proven true, would you still have stepped in to protect me?"
"No." Qi Zhibai and Yuan Feifan answered in unison without hesitation, which made Zhang Yun's lips curl into a cold smile.
Even though he knew this was reality, he was still very unhappy with this unfair treatment!
“Zhang Yun, I advise you to release Zhang Zigu. Otherwise, if the Zhang family pursues you, I'm afraid even your sect won't be able to protect you.”
"Listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good."
Lu Wuyai's expression remained cold, but his tone softened somewhat, since Zhang Zigu's fate was still in Zhang Yun's hands.
"Zhang Yun, you'd better think carefully about the seriousness of the consequences."
Zhang Zigu no longer concealed his true feelings; his face became contorted, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of humiliation and resentment.
Today, Zhang Yun has caused him to fall from grace, his public image to crumble, and his reputation to be ruined. No matter what, he will not let Zhang Yun off the hook.
Ignoring the expression on Zhang Zigu's face, Zhang Yun's gaze shifted towards Lu Wuyai.
"Peak Master Lu, just now, did you try to kill me?" Zhang Yun asked calmly, his calmness devoid of any emotion.
Having acquired various abilities, he is particularly sensitive to the murderous intent of others.
The moment he captured Zhang Zigu, Zhang Yun could sense that the murderous intent buried deep within Lu Wuyai's heart was faintly leaking out.
No matter what, although he and Lu Wuyai were of different generations, they were from the same sect and did not have any deep hatred for each other. He had never shown any murderous intent towards Zhang Zigu.
However, Lu Wuyai actually harbored the intention to kill him!
“Yes.” Lu Wuyai admitted without hesitation: “So what? These kinds of things are always a dilemma. What’s wrong with killing you to protect Zhang Zigu!”
His voice was filled with absolute domineering power, showing that he did not value Zhang Yun's life at all.
"What's wrong with that?!"
"I didn't want to kill Zhang Zigu, but I've changed my mind now!"
Lu Wuyai's attitude completely enraged Zhang Yun. He laughed loudly, and then a clear "bang" was heard, the sound of bones cracking and breaking was particularly jarring in the silent and vast fighting arena.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the entire arena was completely silent. Everyone stared at Zhang Yun with wide eyes, as if he were a monster.

Chapter 101 What crime has he committed! (3rd update)
Lu Wuyai's attitude completely enraged Zhang Yun. He laughed loudly, and then a clear "bang" was heard, the sound of bones cracking and breaking was particularly jarring in the silent and vast fighting arena.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the entire arena was completely silent. Everyone stared at Zhang Yun with wide eyes, as if he were a monster.
Under the terrifying pressure of Lu Wuyai, the peak master of Lingzhu Peak, and even the threat of killing Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun actually dared to break Zhang Zigu's neck, and the action was clean, neat and decisive, without any hesitation!
Even Zhang Zigu himself probably never expected that he would die at Zhang Yun's hands today.
