Chapter 234 Ling Yun reveals the secrets of the Yu family, and the royal guards arrive

Ling Yun looked unnatural for a moment, feeling like a scumbag who had been caught.

He lowered his head slightly and answered honestly, "The young master is my former master, the young master of the Yu family, Yu Qianli. He is in charge of the Yu family's cultivator army."

"Young Master is a recognized genius in the current Four Nations' Immortal Cultivation World. He is also the most talented person in the Yu Family in hundreds of years and is considered to have the best chance of establishing a foundation."

Xiao Ying suddenly realized and became somewhat interested in Yu Qianli he mentioned.

"So, his spiritual roots are better than yours?"

You know, Lingyun has a rare earth spiritual root. His talent is better than Lingyun's. Could it be a heavenly spiritual root?

When talking about Yu Qianli, Ling Yun rarely showed respect and pride.

"Young Master's talent is much stronger than mine. He is only 29 now, but he has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Suddenly thinking of something, he immediately restrained his expression.

"Of course, the master is also very talented, which is more than I have ever seen in my life."

Xiao Ying laughed and jokingly said, "You really know how to keep things in check."

In this world, someone who is less than 30 years old has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. His talent is indeed very strong, and he may very well be a natural spiritual root.

With such spiritual roots, she could be called a genius even in the world of immortal cultivation where she lived in her previous life.

Ling Yun looked embarrassed. One was his former master, and the other was his current master. They were both such outstanding people. He really admired them both.

"Master, I have already sworn my loyalty to you. Even if I regain my memory now, I will not change my mind."

Xiao Ying remained noncommittal: "Then what would you do if one day I became an enemy of your young master?"

Ling Yun answered without hesitation, "I will obey my master in everything. However, the young master has been very kind to me, and I do not wish to engage him in battle unless absolutely necessary."

"It's good to be grateful."

Xiao Ying praised.

If Ling Yun completely disregards their previous friendship, then she would be worried.

After all, he is loyal to her now. If someone stronger than her appears in the future and can erase the contract, she will have to worry about whether he will do the same to her.

"You just mentioned the Yu Family's cultivator army. How many people are there in this army? How strong are they?"

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little alert.

An old-established immortal cultivation family like the Yu family must have a very profound foundation, so it would be a good idea to learn more about it.

These were originally the secrets of the Yu family, but Ling Yun already had a new master after all, so he didn't intend to keep them secret.

So he said, "The combined number of the visible and hidden guards is at least a thousand. The visible guards are more numerous, accounting for three-quarters, while the hidden guards are less than three hundred, but they are all elites."

"The minimum standard for joining the Dark Guard is Qi Refining Level 4, and there are over 200 people at Qi Refining Level 4. Then there are Qi Refining Level 5, with nearly 60 people. Qi Refining Level 6 is much smaller, with only a dozen or so."

Chen Xinghai and the others were all stunned, with shock in their eyes.

The Yu family's army of cultivators actually has thousands of people, and among the secret guards alone there are more than two hundred masters of the fourth level of Qi Refining and above. If the visible guards are included, wouldn't the number be at least doubled?

This strength is probably much stronger than the Dark Night Pavilion!

I originally thought that having a few cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining and contracted beasts was already pretty good, but now when I compare them, it's like the difference between a small stream and the ocean.

Is this the foundation of the Moon Kingdom’s number one immortal cultivation family?

Xiao Ying also frowned slightly. This strength was indeed much stronger than that of the Dark Night Pavilion.

According to Xiao Jin and others, there are only more than a hundred warriors at the fourth level of Qi Refining and those who can rival those at the fourth level in the Dark Night Pavilion, and there are even fewer warriors at the fifth level of Qi Refining and those at the same level, only about thirty or forty.

Of course, the Gu family’s background is definitely not in the Dark Night Pavilion, and their true strength is probably not much worse than that of the Yu family.

Compared with these true immortal cultivation families, the Xiaoyao Sect still has a long way to go.

"Is the strongest person in the Yu family at the ninth level of Qi Refining?" she asked again.

Ling Yun nodded. "The strongest person in the Yu family is the founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom, named Yu Ling. I heard that he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining more than sixty years ago. He attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment stage once, but failed, and his realm fell as a result."

"Later, he slowly recovered to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but because his vitality was severely damaged, he dared not try again. Due to his advanced age, he has been in seclusion in recent years, and I have no idea how he is doing now."

Xiao Ying understood. The Yu family was indeed very powerful. Yu Ling had reached the ninth level of Qi training more than sixty years ago.

However, it is indeed very difficult to build a foundation in this world. The spiritual energy is too thin and is not enough to support the power required to build a foundation.

"How about the eighth and seventh levels of Qi Refining?"

"There are two people at the eighth level of Qi Refining." Ling Yun continued, "One is the young master I mentioned earlier, and the other is Madam Yu Qinglan, the current head of the Yu family."

"There were originally four people at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but now there are only three left. One is the Dark Guard leader Yu Fuyao, and the other two are the Light Guard leader and deputy leader."

Xiao Ying concluded, "That is to say, there are at least six more people in the late stage of Qi Refining... Let's not talk about these six people for now, it's almost impossible to get them, but those guards might be possible."

Since I heard something wrong, my mistress/master wants to...

Sure enough, Xiao Ying spoke again: "Ling Yun, do you think we have a chance to recruit some talents from the Yu family?"

Ling Yun's eyes twitched, and he was speechless. The master actually wanted to poach people from the Yu family? Was he trying to fleece the Dark Night Pavilion like he was fleecing them?

"Master, this is probably difficult. The Yu Family's guards guard the capital and rarely leave. Their secret guards act in secret and are unlikely to come to Yun'an County."

Xiao Ying sighed softly: "That would be such a pity."

Little did they know that the Yu family's secret guards came to Yun'an County that night. They were the two people sent by the current emperor to investigate Tu Dou, one at the fourth level of Qi Refining and the other at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After the two men arrived in Yun'an County overnight, they went to Chenjia Village immediately, but they did not find anything wrong there.

The spiritual energy here is almost the same as other places, and it is not as rich in spiritual energy as imagined. This is strange.

The next day, the two wandered around the village and saw many villagers in Chenjia Village planting potatoes. When they went to the fields at night, they found that the potatoes were indeed imbued with spiritual energy.

Since it is not caused by the environment, the problem can only be with the seeds.

"I discovered something amiss during the day. It was the residence of Xiao Ying, who was given the title of Ruren. There seemed to be a formation fluctuation in that house."

"I also noticed something amiss. There are experts in both workshops, and each has a ferocious beast. Especially the one in the soap workshop, it's actually at the fourth level of Qi Refining, even more powerful than me. I was almost discovered by it."

The two secret guards exchanged information with each other and were both shocked when they heard what they heard.

There are actually many hidden talents in this small village. It seems that there is indeed a problem, and the problem lies with Xiao Ying!

The fifth-level Qi Refining Secret Guard immediately concluded, "This person must be a cultivator, but we don't know which sect he belongs to. Let's go find out tonight."
