After the initial excitement, Ren Tianya, the city's chieftain, Xie Zhenwei, the patriarch of Tianlian Mountain, and Ren Xiaoyang all calmed down.

Their eyes were filled with ruthlessness and determination.

Xie Zhenwei looked at them seriously and said:

“Young Master, Young Master, since we are determined to do this, we cannot be careless. Although Lingyan Pavilion is not a top power in Yizhou, it is not something that our small Yunxi City can afford to offend.”

Ren Tianya nodded seriously.

"Old Xie is right. We can't just be happy. Once this gets out, no one can protect us."

Ren Xiaoyang thought for a moment and said:

“That’s right, I think so. We must get this token. We can’t let these Lingyan Pavilion people in the city get away with it. If they return to Yizhou, and someone with knowledge discovers the secret of this token, we’ll all be in trouble.”

Therefore, we must make our move before they return to Yizhou, but we cannot do so in Yunxi City. If something happens to them in our city, the people of Lingyan Pavilion will not listen to reason.

I think the opportune moment to act is when they leave Yunxi City and are on their way back to Yizhou. That way, if they encounter any robbers or face any danger on the road, they won't be able to blame it on us.

Ren Tianya looked at his son with satisfaction.

Xie Zhenwei nodded in agreement.

"Young Master is right, but we have two things to do now. First, monitor their movements and see when they leave."

Secondly, we need to ascertain their combat capabilities; we don't want to be caught off guard and suffer an unexpected setback.

“That’s right, both of these points are very important,” Ren Tianya agreed.

Ren Xiaoyang thought for a moment and said, "The people of Lingyan Pavilion are led by that woman. I only saw three of them. That woman is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is not worth mentioning. The other two are at the peak of Golden Core, which will be a bit troublesome. I'm afraid we will have to thank Senior for your help."

Xie Zhenwei laughed heartily, clearly not taking the two men seriously.

"If it's just two Golden Core Perfection cultivators, then it won't cause any trouble and can be easily resolved."

Ren Tianya thought for a moment.

"Let's not rush things, and we don't need to make a big fuss, that would alert them. We'll just keep a close eye on their movements and see if Lingyan Pavilion has any other experts hiding there."

At that moment, Xie Zhenwei remembered something.

"Hong'er had a conflict with another group before, and this time the people from Lingyan Pavilion even helped them. What's the deal with these people?"

Ren Xiaoyang knew they were talking about Qin Feng and his group, and said with a disdainful expression:

"These four are no problem. I think the highest cultivation level among them is only a woman in the late Golden Core stage. She is pretty and has some skills. She should be able to deal with one or two Golden Core Perfection stage cultivators. She is not a threat. If it weren't for the people from Lingyan Pavilion interfering, I would have dealt with them all this time. Humph."

The thought of Qin Feng and his group inexplicably made him feel bad. He hadn't managed to get his hands on the two stunning women, nor had he killed them, which made him very unhappy.

Ren Tianya knew his son's nature, so he added a comment.

"Yang'er, the overall situation is more important. We should ignore these four for now. They are with the people from Lingyan Pavilion. We should avoid alerting them and ruining things."

Ren Xiaoyang took a deep breath, calmed himself, and replied respectfully:

"Father, I know. Everything should be done with the big picture in mind. We won't let a few ants ruin everything."

Ren Tianya nodded in satisfaction.

Xie Zhenwei was also very pleased.

"Young master is flexible and adaptable, with a bright future ahead of him."

"Thank you for your kind words, Elder Xie."

At this moment, Xie Zhenwei said, "Now that things have been settled, I will go and arrange the manpower. Young Master, Young Master, farewell."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xie."

"Thank you for your help, Elder Xie."

Xie Zhenwei waved his hand and left the main hall.

Ren Xiaoyang watched the old man leave, and after a while, he asked Ren Tianya:

"Father, can this Elder Xie really be trusted? That is the Emperor's legacy and treasure trove."

Ren Tianya smiled and replied confidently:

"Hehe, Elder Xie has been with me for over two hundred years. He has been with me since I was a child and has always protected me. His loyalty is beyond question, so you don't need to doubt him."

Ren Xiaoyang opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, his father interrupted him.

"Besides, his family is still under our control. He doesn't have the guts. And most importantly, his cultivation level is not as high as mine, so he can't do anything to me. He's a smart man. He wouldn't do something so stupid without being absolutely certain of victory."

With that said, Ren Xiaoyang felt relieved. In his opinion, the safest thing his father had said was that Elder Xie couldn't beat his father, and that cultivation and combat strength were the most reliable factors.

"Father is wise; I was just being overly suspicious," Ren Xiaoyang flattered.

"Hehe, it's alright. You've grown up a lot and you're very thoughtful. I'm very pleased."

Ren Tianya was quite satisfied with Ren Xiaoyang's concerns; using one's brain is a good habit.

...

Zuixianlou (Drunken Immortal Pavilion)

Now that Shen Mengying has companions, she is no longer afraid of the people of Tianlian Mountain and lives here comfortably.

She had no idea that she had been targeted by City Chief Ren Tianya and his gang, and that a crisis was approaching her if Lingyan Pavilion did not have any experts secretly protecting her.

Shen Mengying is probably in danger.

On the other side.

Qin Feng and the others were also at Zuixianlou, curiously watching Yin Tiantian and her broken sword.

That broken sword that I picked up at a bargain price from the market.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it's best to have Qin Feng and the others present so they can keep an eye on things.
