“You are…you are…” The man’s hands were shaking and his words were stuttering.
Yun Jin nodded and kindly said to him, "You guessed it right. We are the bad guys who caused a scene at the city gate and made the Yu family disciples kneel down and beg for mercy."
How can someone call himself a bad guy?
The man didn't know what to say for a moment, but since Yun Jin and Yu Songnian didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, the man slowly calmed down.
"We just want to ask you a few questions." Yu Songnian said, slowly taking out a few medium-grade crystals and placing them on the table.
For a mortal.
This is already a huge sum of money.
The man's eyes inevitably lit up.
He didn't take it immediately, but asked cautiously: "I don't know much."
"Just some simple questions." Yu Songnian asked in a deep voice, "You all seem to be afraid of the Yu family?"
The man shuddered, as if considering whether he could speak.
Perhaps because he felt that the two people in front of him were not on the same side as the Yu family, he said slowly: "Who in Lincheng is not afraid of the Yu family?"
"Why?" Yun Jin asked, "Lincheng is a medium-sized city. The Canglan Nation should have sent a city lord to manage it. The Yu family is just a family of immortal cultivators, yet they seem to be so powerful here? Doesn't the city lord care?"
This is the world of cultivating immortals.
Anyone who can become a city lord must have extraordinary cultivation.
It's not possible to allow a family to expand to this extent.
The man gave a bitter laugh and said, "Back when Senior Yu Feng was the head of the Yu family, they treated the common people very well. Not only did they regularly provide aid to the common people, they also helped guard the city gates on weekdays. At that time, the common people in Lincheng would give a thumbs up whenever they mentioned the Yu family."
Yun Jin glanced at Yu Songnian.
Yu Feng is the father of the third senior brother.
Yu Songnian's expression was indescribably complicated. He asked, "And then? It's changed now."
The man gave a wry smile. "Ever since Clan Leader Yu Feng got into trouble and the young clan leader was expelled, Yu Lin has been the head of the Yu family. For the first few years, things were peaceful, but a few years ago, Yu Lin's son, Yu Liangping, was diagnosed with a natural lightning body and was accepted into the Yuehua Sect, a prestigious sect. I heard that Yu Liangping was highly regarded by the Yuehua Sect, and because of that, the Yu family's relationship with the Yuehua Sect has grown closer."
"That's the only super sect in Canglan Country: Yuehua Sect! With Yuehua Sect's strong support, what can the ruler of Canglan Country do? Gradually, the so-called city lord became a complete figurehead, and Lincheng became a place where the Yu family had the final say."
Yu Songnian frowned: "No one will care anymore?"
The man gave a bitter laugh. "Care? Who cares? The King doesn't dare to care, and there's even less reason for anyone else to care. Who would want to offend the Yuehua Sect for a mere Lincheng? Could it be that we can still count on the Qingxiao Sect to take action?"
In theory, this large area is under the management of Qingxiao Sect.
But as a holy place, Qingxiao Sect would not care about such trivial matters.
Yunjin nodded.
She finally understood what was going on with the Yu family. It was nothing more than them getting involved with a super sect and becoming completely inflated.
"Oh right." The man took the initiative to say, "You came to Lincheng to challenge the Yu family in the Sword Domain, right? You'd better not get your hopes up."
"Why?" Yun Jin was unconvinced: "I am a genius in swordsmanship."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl solemnly proclaimed herself a swordsmanship genius. The man thought she was just bragging and couldn't help but smile. "After the Yu family became involved with the Yuehua Sect, the Yuehua Sect sent someone to inspect this sword domain. It seems the Yuehua Sect is quite interested in it, too. This time, the Yuehua Sect announced early on that their swordsmanship genius, Ma Yuanwu, would personally come to break into the sword domain and seize the treasure at its center."
"Ma Yuanwu?" Yun Jin looked confused.
I don't know this person at all.
The man hurriedly said, "That Sword Domain is very special. There are two restrictions for those who can enter it. First, they cannot be over a hundred years old. Second, their cultivation cannot be higher than the Spiritual Transformation Stage. But Ma Yuanwu is just under a hundred years old, but his cultivation is already at the Spiritual Transformation Stage! Among the cultivators who can enter the Sword Domain, he is the top-tier."
The Spirit Transformation Stage.
Yun Jin nodded and asked, "But the Sword Domain should mainly focus on sword talent?"
The man said, "Ma Yuanwu's talent in swordsmanship is even more remarkable. Apart from anything else, a while ago, the man from the Kunlun Sword Sect came to our area. Do you know why?"
Yun Jin and Yu Songnian's expressions suddenly became strange.
The man lowered his voice and continued, "It is said that they came here just for Ma Yuanwu! The Supreme Sword Immortal of Kunlun Sword Sect also wants to take him as his disciple."
Yunjin & Yu Songnian: "..."
Although I don’t know how this rumor came about, it is indeed quite outrageous.
"I'm afraid this is a rumor." Yun Jin said tactfully.
The man couldn't help but shake his head. "How could it be a rumor? I heard that the leader of Qingxiao Pavilion came out to snatch Ma Yuanwu from him."
The corners of Yunjin's lips twitched involuntarily.
This is really getting more and more exaggerated.
"Anyway, Ma Yuanwu's talent is quite terrifying. Plus, the Yuehua Sect has been secretly researching the Sword Domain for years. They're suddenly promoting it so loudly this time, so they must be absolutely confident. With Ma Yuanwu here, the others are just supporting roles."
The man looked at Yunjin with some pity, thinking that this woman must have suffered a great blow.
