World Association, underground prison.
Bu Jingyun arrived at the prison alone. His journey was smooth and unhindered. Soon, he arrived in front of Huo Lie and the others.
"Greetings, Hall Master Yun!"
A guard who was drinking wine saw Bu Jingyun and quickly stood up and bowed to him.
"Give me the key!"
Bu Jingyun didn't waste any time and took the key from the guard. Then, he waved his hand, signaling the guard to leave.
"Clang!"
He unlocked the door and entered the cell.
As soon as he entered the cell, Bu Jingyun saw Huo Lie's real face. He stared at Huo Lie. Bu Jingyun widened his eyes in shock because he recognized Huo Lie. Huo Lie and Huo Butian were twins. They looked exactly the same.
Seeing Bu Jingyun staring at him, Huo Lie felt very strange. According to Bu Jingyun's strength, he should be able to kill him in a few moves. But why did Bu Jingyun show mercy to him in the hall just now?
"Why did you show mercy to me?" Huo Lie asked.”
Taking a few deep breaths, Bu Jingyun calmed down and replied,""Because I recognized your swordsmanship!”
Huo Lie looked Bu Jingyun up and down and asked,"What's your name?"
"Bu Jingyun!"
"If you are Bu Jingyun, then you are the stepson of my big brother Huo Butian!”
Huo Lie excitedly walked to Bu Jingyun and took out a hairpin from his head. He twisted it a few times and took out a piece of paper from the hairpin, handing it to Bu Jingyun.
"I'm the second son of the Huo family, and I'm your stepfather's twin brother. Because I'm the commander of the Imperial House, I rarely interact with my relatives and friends because of my status. Big Brother mentioned you in his letters a few times and asked me to rush back to the Huo Residence on his fiftieth birthday to formally introduce you to me. He also wanted to announce that you would inherit the Huo Residence. I came back late."
Huo Lie explained his relationship with Huo Butian word by word. He couldn't help but sigh.
After explaining everything, Huo Lie asked Bu Jingyun,"Jingyun, why did you join the World Association?”
"Father! Was there a need to ask? Of course, it's for the sake of wealth!"
Before Bu Jingyun could explain, Huo Lie's son, Huo Jiqian, interrupted.
Huo Lie turned around and scolded,"Jiqian, don't spout nonsense. I believe that your uncle's judgment will never be wrong!”
"This time, I gathered a few martial artists to charge into the Heavenly Gathering. I originally planned to avenge my big brother, but I failed at the last minute! This old man is already old, and his death is not worth regretting. Jingyun, you have to think of a way to save my son from the World Association on account of my big brother treating you like a son!”
Huo Lie begged Bu Jingyun.
Bu Jingyun couldn't help but think of the past. Huo Butian treated him with great kindness. No matter what, he had to help Huo Lie.
Then, Bu Jingyun used his internal force to draw a knife and cut off the chains that bound Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian. He threw the knife to Huo Lie and leaned against him, pretending to be kidnapped. Bu Jingyun said,"Let's go!"
Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian looked at each other and understood what Bu Jingyun meant. Then, they took Bu Jingyun and walked out.
Bu Jingyun was the leader of the Flying Cloud Hall, the third disciple of Xiong Ba. He had a noble status. When the disciples of the World Association saw Bu Jingyun being held hostage, they didn't dare to go forward, afraid that they would accidentally hurt him.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed. Just as they were about to leave World's First Pavilion, Xiong Ba's voice suddenly sounded.
"Where are you going?"
The 30% Returning Qi was gathered in Xiong Ba's hand. He didn't give Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian a chance to react and sent them flying.
"Yun 'er, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Bu Jingyun replied.
Actually, when Bu Jingyun showed mercy to Huo Lie, Xiong Ba had already become suspicious. Now, even without Xiong Ba, Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian would not be able to escape from The First Tower.
"Tell me, who are your accomplices? After you tell me, this old man will consider not killing you!”
Xiong Ba smiled as he looked at Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian.
Seeing that it was impossible for him to escape, Huo Lie said,"Qian 'er, the men of the Huo family are not afraid of death. Child, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.”
In order not to implicate Bu Jingyun, Huo Lie had killed his own son with one palm.
"Bang!"
Huo Lie's full-strength palm strike had already killed Huo Jiqian.
Seeing this, Xiong Ba walked forward and said in shock,""This old man admires this person for killing his son!”
After he finished speaking, Xiong Ba waved his hand, and a guard of the World Association handed over a saber." Yun 'er, help me take his head!”
Bu Jingyun clenched his fists and walked toward Huo Lie.
Sitting on the ground, Huo Lie said in a low voice,"Jingyun, don't be sad. Promise me one thing. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you must persevere and avenge my big brother!”
Bu Jingyun felt as if the sky was about to collapse. How could he kill his stepfather's brother? How could he do it?
However, Xiong Ba was already suspicious. If he didn't kill Huo Lie, even Bu Jingyun would be held responsible. Therefore, Bu Jingyun had to take action. Otherwise, no one would be able to take revenge!
Staring at Huo Lie on the ground, Bu Jingyun said,"I will always be the cloud in my stepfather's heart. The Huo family will not die because Xiongba will definitely die in the hands of the Huo family!”
Nodding, Huo Lie smiled and replied,""Alright then! You, do it!"
Then, Huo Lie closed his eyes and waited for Bu Jingyun to make his move.
He clenched his right fist tightly. His fingernails had already pierced through his flesh, but Bu Jingyun didn't feel any pain. He only felt sorrow.
"Ah!"
"Gloomy clouds!"
Closing his eyes, Bu Jingyun was just about to attack when a loud shout sounded. Then, a huge palm print descended from the sky and sent Huo Lie flying. He crashed into a stone pillar with a bang and died.
"No!"
Bu Jingyun roared in his heart, but he didn't dare to shout out loud. Xiong Ba was not far away. If he shouted, everything would be over.
