Chapter 169 - Yu Clan
Witnessing this scene, the middle-aged man was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.
He wasn"t an idiot. How could he not understand that he had kicked an iron plate?
Because the Stargate Sect had been disbanded, the Yu Clan had accepted many cultivators and had become the strongest Martial Dao faction in this area after the Stargate Sect. They were very arrogant.
Unfortunately, they didn"t have a Heaven Stage expert holding down the fort, so they were unable to completely control this area.
After that, because the sect master of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had advanced to the Supreme Stage, the Yu Clan had no choice but to give up on becoming the second Stargate Sect and submit to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
However, relying on the might of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the Yu Clan was still able to oppress everyone. Furthermore, they had been spreading rumors everywhere that they have a Supreme Stage expert behind them. Everyone in their clan looked down on the other factions and cultivators and the middle-aged man was naturally no exception.
It was just that he didn"t expect to encounter an expert like Qin Jue in the city.
"W-what do you want?"
"For the last time, bring me to your patriarch."
Qin Jue said expressionlessly and coldly.
"Do you know who we are backed by? I"ll scare you to death if I tell you, Xuanyi Mountain Sect!"
The middle-aged man braced himself and tried to intimidate Qin Jue with the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
Hearing this, Qin Jue laughed and said, "Oh I forgot to tell you, I"m from the Xuanyi Mountain Sect."
The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded.
This youth was actually from the Xuanyi Mountain Sect?
One had to know that compared to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, their Yu Clan was simply no different from an ant. Otherwise, why would they lower their heads and submit 30% of their cultivation resources every year?
The problem was that the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was thousands of kilometers away from here. Why would Qin Jue come here?
As if recalling something, the middle-aged man"s eyes suddenly widened as he said in disbelief, "You"re the expert sent by the Xuanyi Mountain Sect to help us expel the fiend beasts?"
"Why else would I be here?" Qin Jue smiled faintly.
"Please come with me."
The middle-aged man didn"t dare to speak anymore and hurriedly turned around to lead Qin Jue and Long Zhen towards the Yu Clan.
Ever since they accepted the cultivators that left the Stargate Sect, the Yu Clan had already expanded several times. At the moment, it looked no different from a palace.
Under the middle-aged man"s lead, Qin Jue and Long Zhen quickly entered the Yu Clan and arrived at a luxurious living room.
"Please wait a moment. I"ll go get the patriarch now."
The middle-aged man s.h.i.+vered and quickly left the living room.
Not long after, a man with slightly white hair and sharp brows stepped into the living room and went straight to the point. "I am Yu Clan"s patriarch, Yu Canghai. May I ask if the two of you are experts sent by the Xuanyi Mountain Sect to help us expel the fiend beasts?"
Qin Jue didn"t speak. He directly took out the envelope and threw it to the man.
Taking the envelope, Yu Canghai took a look and hurriedly bowed. "Seniors, welcome. Sorry for not coming out to welcome you. Please forgive me."
Qin Jue waved his hand and sneered. "Patriarch Yu, you guys are really impressive. You actually dare to use the Xuanyi Mountain Sect"s name to intimidate others. Do you really think the Xuanyi Mountain Sect wouldn"t find out about this?"
Yu Canghai"s body tensed up. Before he came in, he had already learned the entire story from the middle-aged man. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, I didn"t expect these servants to be so arrogant. Senior, please give me a chance. I will definitely punish them severely."
At this point, Yu Canghai shouted, "Bring Yu s.h.i.+ here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man who had beaten up the youth on the street was immediately tied up and thrown in. "Patriarch, Patriarch, please spare me. I"m really not…"
Without waiting for the burly man to finish speaking, Yu Canghai pointed his finger at the burly man"s forehead. The injured burly man immediately grunted and died on the spot!
After doing this, Yu Canghai ordered the entire guard team to face the wall for three months before he cupped his fists again and said, "I wonder if Senior is satisfied with this treatment."
"…"
Qin Jue never expected that this Yu Canghai would be so decisive and directly execute the burly man, not giving him any chance to plead.
No wonder the Yu Clan was able to become the most powerful Martial Dao faction in this area after the Stargate Sect. It was indeed not strange considering that they had such a patriarch.
"Cough, not bad."
Since the person in question had been killed, Qin Jue couldn"t continue to investigate. He could only ask about serious business. "What"s going on with the fiend beasts here?"
Seeing this, Yu Canghai heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Senior, since half a month ago, high-level fiend beasts have been appearing continuously in the Black Forest. Many villages nearby have already been brutally attacked. This place has also suffered two attacks, but we repelled them both. However, those fiend beasts are simply too powerful. If this continues, I"m afraid we won"t be able to last for more than two months. Helpless, we can only seek your sect"s help."
This city was very close to the Black Forest, so it wasn"t strange for the fiend beasts to attack them.
In the past, with the Stargate Sect guarding it, fiend beasts below the Heaven Stage were less likely to come out. But with the disbandment of the Stargate Sect, the fiend beasts of the Black Forest had clearly gotten much more active, and the nearby villages and cities naturally became their first target.
"I see."
Qin Jue suddenly understood. "When do these fiend beasts usually appear?"
"Tomorrow!"
Yu Canghai said firmly, "According to our estimates, these fiend beasts will appear every three days. Tomorrow will be the third day, so they should appear again!"
"Alright, then we"ll wait until tomorrow."
Qin Jue revealed an intriguing smile.
For some reason, seeing Qin Jue"s smile, Yu Canghai suddenly had a bad feeling, but he still continued, "Seniors, I"ve already prepared spirit wine and delicacies. Please come to the main hall to enjoy them."
The Yu Clan was indeed worthy of being the strongest Martial Dao faction in this area. Whether it was the spirit wine or delicacies that they served, they were both extremely valuable. Unfortunately, in the eyes of Qin Jue and Long Zhen, they weren"t even worth mentioning.
This banquet lasted for less than two hours before it ended. Qin Jue and Long Zhen were also arranged to stay in the two most luxurious rooms, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
After closing the door to the courtyard, the smile on Yu Canghai"s face instantly disappeared, replaced by a sinister and cold expression.
"Father…"
A voice sounded in the darkness.
"Shh."
Yu Canghai stretched out a finger and interrupted the other party. "Let"s talk somewhere else."
It was not until they pa.s.sed through most of the Yu Clan and entered a secret room that Yu Canghai spoke. "Speak."
"Father, are those two really experts sent by the Xuanyi Mountain Sect?"
The young man walked out of the shadows and could not help but ask.
"Hehe, even I can"t see through their cultivation. How could it be fake?"
If not for the fact that he could not see through their cultivation, why would Yu Canghai kill Yu s.h.i.+ on the spot and beg for forgiveness?
"Then the plan…"
"As usual."
Yu Canghai said faintly, "We"ll just wait and collect our benefits."
"But… what if they find out?"
The young man was slightly worried.
"Idiot, other than us, no one else knows about this. How could they discover it?"
Yu Canghai cursed. He was so smart, so how could he have such a stupid son?
"You"re right, father."
The young man did not dare to refute.
"Hehe, we"ll soon know what"s inside."
Yu Canghai said sinisterly.
At the same time, Qin Jue retracted his spirit sense and pondered.. There was indeed something wrong with this Yu Clan.
