Chapter 224: The First Immortal Cultivation Family in Yandang City
After leaving the inn, Bai Ze was still furious. "What kind of immortal visitor? Bah, they really thought we were interested in staying in their shabby inn."
He kicked a stone away, and the next second he heard a scream of pain coming from not far ahead.
"Ouch! Who is so wicked as to throw stones randomly? Don't you know that they might hit someone?"
The young man in front turned around and saw that it was Yun Su and his five companions. He asked in surprise, "It's you?"
Yun Su raised his eyebrows, "Do you know us?"
The young man shook his head. "I don't know them. I just happened to pass by the Immortal Visitors and saw a few of them."
"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, my younger brother has the mentality of a child. Please don't take it personally." Yun Su said, and took out a bottle of pills from his space ring and handed it to the young man.
"This is..." Kong Yu could see that this pill was not simple. He took it, opened it quickly and smelled it, and his eyes widened instantly.
"This, this is a fifth-grade baby-breaking pill. Are you just going to give it to me like this?" Kong Yu simply couldn't believe it.
Yun Su smiled faintly, "This baby-breaking pill is just a compensation gift."
To see how precious the Infant-Breaking Pill is, take the Xue family, the number one immortal cultivation family in Yandang City, as an example. Even though they just received more than a dozen cultivators in the early Yuanying stage among the immortal visitors,
Those were all forcibly raised with the help of elixirs, at best they could be regarded as pseudo-Yuanying, and one would stop at the Yuanying stage in this lifetime. However, Poyingdan was different, it was a good thing that could really allow cultivators who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir to break through to the Yuanying stage.
Even if it was the Xue family, it would not be possible for them to easily give out the Po Infant Pill as compensation. One Po Infant Pill was equivalent to the price of a Yuan Infant cultivator. That family would not be willing to give it up.
Kong Yu held the broken baby pill in both hands, and the joy on his face could not be concealed. "Thank you, my last name is Kong, and my given name is Yu. Are you looking for an inn? I happen to know a good inn of my own, I'll take you there."
"Thank you." Yun Su bowed.
Soon, Kong Yu took them to an inn called Qingyundu. If you only looked at the name, you would never have thought that this was an inn.
During this period, Kong Yu also learned the names of several of them and told them the relationship between the Xue family of Yandang City and the Xianlaike.
The owner of Xianlaike is Xue Yupeng, the nephew of the wife of the head of the Xue family. Over the years, he has relied on the power of the Xue family to suppress other inns. Many inns in Yandang City eventually closed down because of Xue Yupeng's suppression.
Nowadays, in the entire Yandang City, apart from the inns under Xue Yupeng, there are only a few inns with a little power.
"Qingyun Ferry is the property of the Ji family. The Ji family is also considered a large family of immortal cultivators in Yandang City. Unfortunately, they have been persecuted by the Xue family in recent years and have no one left." When he said this, a strong hatred flashed in Kong Yu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
At this time, a woman with a scar on her face came out of Qingyun Ferry carrying a basin of water. Her eyes lit up when she saw Kong Yu.
"My husband, you are back."
Kong Yu quickly stepped forward and took the wooden basin from her hand, and said sternly: "You are not in good health, why are you coming out? Just let the servants do these things."
The girl was wearing a green dress, with her hair tied up in a bun. She was thin and had a pretty face, which was only marred by a scar on her face that ran from the corner of her eye to her chin.
"I'm fine. I can still do these little things myself. Are these my husband's friends?"
Kong Yu introduced: "This is my wife, Ji Yingxue, and these are friends I just met on the road. They are here to stay at the hotel."
Afterwards, Kong Yu introduced the names of several people from Yunsu to Ji Yingxue one by one and invited them into the inn.
The inn was very clean and elegantly and cozily decorated, but there were not many people there. Yun Su was very satisfied with the place.
Chongming said, "It turns out that this inn is run by Brother Kong and his wife."
Kong Yu looked a little embarrassed. "This is my wife's family business. The Ji family members left and scattered. Now only this inn is left. My wife was reluctant to sell it, so she continued to run it. But the business has not been very good."
"It's related to the Xue family." Jiang Biechen looked at Kong Yu without much expression on his face, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
Jiang Biechen suddenly spoke, and Kong Yu was stunned for a moment. This man had never spoken a word during the whole journey, and his face was expressionless the whole time. Only when his eyes met the young man he was holding, did his eyes show a hint of tenderness.
It's really strange that he would take the initiative to ask at this moment.
"Brother Jiang's guess is correct. Ever since the ancestor of the Xue family broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the entire Yandang City has been swept away. All the immortal cultivation families that were unwilling to submit to the Xue family were wiped out. Small families either surrendered to the Xue family or quickly fell like the Ji family."
"You guys never tried to unite to resist the Xue family." Jiang Biechen frowned in confusion.
Kong Yu glanced at Jiang Biechen, poured a cup of tea for them, and then said, "Brother Jiang looks like a young master from a wealthy family, or perhaps a genius from a sect."
"In Yandang City alone, there are many forces. For example, the Xue family is backed by the Demon King, the Gu family is backed by the Xuantian Sect, and the Ye family is backed by the Tianlan Dynasty. Not to mention the top forces in the mainland, Dan Pavilion and Qi Palace. They all belong to different forces. Without sufficient interests, how could they possibly take action against the Xue family?"
Kong Yu smiled bitterly, "What's more, in a small place like Yandang City, even among these big forces, the most powerful one is Yuan Ying Da Yuan Man, and only the Xue family has an ancestor in the God Transformation Stage. Small families like us can only struggle for survival among these forces."
At this time, the servants also brought the wine and food, Kong Yu immediately said: "Let's not talk about this, enjoy your meal, this table is my treat."
"Please go ahead, Manager Kong." Chongming said with a smile.
After Kong Yu left, the five people all looked unhappy.
"This Xue family is actually the power of Zhugyin." Chongming's face was solemn. He set up a soundproof barrier around the five people. They did not change their appearance when they came, but just suppressed their own cultivation.
"Has our identity been discovered by the Xue family?" Xiaobai asked cautiously, somewhat regretting the Xianlaike's impulse.
Jiang Biechen shook his head. "It's unlikely. From what Kong Yu said, it's been two hundred years since that incident. Even if Zhu Yin hasn't given up looking for you, it's not certain that everyone still remembers your appearance."
"Well, I think Xiao Chen is right. In two hundred years, ordinary people have died twice. How is it possible that anyone still remembers it?" Jiang Biexiao poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. He didn't know what kind of wine it was, but he just felt warm all over.
Seeing Jiang Biexiao about to drink a second cup, Bai Ze quickly stopped him, "This is Zuixian Brew. If you drink too much, your body won't be able to handle it."
"No matter what, we have to be careful tonight. After all, this is Zhuyin's territory, and there is also a demon tribe who we don't know whether they are friend or foe." Yun Su narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that during the two hundred years that I was away, Zhuyin and Chixin had won the hearts of many people.
