"I just found out too. They are the slaves from the Yu Family who went missing a year ago." Yu Haiheng looked at Si Yu, who was standing behind Shen Ying, maliciously. "She and that girl called Yu Hong used to be the Nascent Soul Perfected Zhen Xiang's human cauldrons."
Human cauldrons!
Everyone turned to look at Si Yu in shock.
"A year ago, Perfected Zhen Xiang suddenly went missing. Not even his body could be found," Yu Haiheng continued. Yu Haiyan continued, "After his death, the nine Human Cauldrons under him also disappeared without a trace. According to the last person who saw Zhen Xiang, he went to catch the traitor who stole the artifact because it was stolen. That's why he never returned. He must have been killed by the nine people. As the family head, I have to seek justice for my people. "
"Zhen Xiang colluded with fiendish cultivators to silence us," Si Yu retorted loudly.
"So, you admit that you are a slave of the Yu Family?" Yu Haiheng laughed coldly.
"You …"
He turned to look at Shen Ying and said sarcastically, "What a coincidence. There are only nine human cauldrons in the Yu Family. Your Invincible Sect also sent nine disciples to participate in the sect competition. Sect Master … don't you think you should give the Yu Family an explanation?"
Shen Ying's eyes turned cold and her expression darkened.
"Don't talk nonsense, Family Head Yu!" Xuan Yuanyu's heart trembled. He quickly stepped forward and shouted, "You said that all the human cauldrons from the Yu Family were human cauldrons. But look at Lady Si Yu. She is the top Golden Core cultivator. Everyone knows what a human cauldron is like. How could she have won the competition? You must have made a mistake! "
"That's right, that's right!" Yin Yuanfei reacted and retorted, "And Lady Si Yu is a body cultivator. I've never heard of any body cultivators in the Yu Family."
"What do you mean by that?" Yu Haiheng was getting angry. He seemed to be unhappy that they were helping him. "Do you think I, the dignified family head of the Yu Family, would make a mistake like this? What's more, she just admitted it herself. "
"Family Head Yu, it's better to investigate." Seeing Shen Ying's darkening expression, Xuanyuan tried to persuade Yu Haiheng. "What's more, she's a Golden Core cultivator. How can she defeat a Nascent Soul Perfected One?"
Actually, the three families present all knew that the Yu Family's objective wasn't to capture any fugitive slaves. It was just that the Invincible Sect had suddenly appeared and was so powerful that the Yu Family and the other aristocratic families were tempted.
There were only so many resources in the Upper Azure World. To the aristocratic families, there were only two ways to deal with this new force: befriend or suppress. It was obvious that the Yu Family and Xuanyuan Family were trying to befriend each other. The Yu Family, on the other hand, had lost the initiative, so they had chosen another option.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that this small sect had yet to become a Marquis to completely suppress it to eliminate future troubles and ensure the unique status of the aristocratic family. Now that they had this weakness, they naturally wanted to crush Invincible Sect to death. If it was in the past, everyone would have a tacit understanding about this kind of thing. Perhaps they would even push him from behind.
But!
The Sect Master of Invincible Sect was a Great Immortal!
(SŐД ́) b
The Great Immortal Shen who single-handedly beat up five Traveling Immortals the moment she came to the Upper Azure World and almost destroyed the Xuan Yuan Family in one day! No one even knew how terrifyingly powerful she was. Until now, he couldn't even muster up any thoughts of resisting!
If Yu Haiheng thought that such a person was easy to bully, then the Yu Family was really too pitiful!
"Hmph, who knows what methods they used?" The Yu Family was still unwilling to let the matter rest. He glanced at Si Yu and said, "Don't forget that Zhen Xiang said he lost his Dharma treasure. She suddenly became a Body Cultivator, isn't that proof? What's more, the Senior Sister she mentioned has the surname Yu! I've already done a blood test. She is indeed a collateral descendant of the Yu Family and one of the missing fugitive slaves. Zhen Xiang's death, even if they weren't the culprit, but … "
"I did it." Shen Ying finally couldn't take it anymore. She raised her hand and said, "That scum, I was the one who beat him up."
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at her. The Yu Family even sneered.
Xuan Yuanyu was stunned. Why did the Great Immortal admit it herself?! Were they going to start a fight?
"Great Immortal, you … did a good job!" Xuan Yuanyu changed the topic and continued to put out the fire. He said seriously, "That Perfected Zhen Xiang is definitely not a good person. That's why you had to do it yourself."
Yu Haiheng: "…" Is this Xuan Yuanyu crazy?
"That scum forced people to become human cauldrons, used them to test his medicine, and even used living people to refine pills. He is indeed not a good person! "Shen Ying said honestly.
"What, refining pills using living people!" Yin Feng was shocked. That was something only Fiendish Cultivators would do.
"Nonsense," Yu Haiheng said anxiously. As if he hadn't expected her to say such things, he retorted, "Zhen Xiang is famous for being an easy-going person in the collateral family. Who would believe that he would do such a thing?"
"I believe him!" Xuan Yuanyu immediately raised his hand.
"…" Yu Haiheng's chest tightened again.
"I believe that the Great … Sect Master Yi is not the kind of person to accuse others. Since she has already done it, it must be Zhen Xiang who made a huge mistake."
"Xuan Yuanyu!" Yu Haiheng was furious. He didn't understand why Xuan Yuanyu would rather offend the Yu Family than help Invincible Sect.
"Patriarch Yu, this is a misunderstanding. Quickly release the Invincible Sect disciples." I'm trying to save you, Brother!
Yu Haiheng didn't understand the hint in his eyes at all. He snorted and turned to look at Yin Feng. "Patriarch Yin, do you also think that Zhen Xiang deserved his death?"
"This …" Yin Feng looked back and forth between Xuan Yuanyu and Yu Haiheng. Wasn't this a matter between the Yu Family and Invincible Sect? Why were the two of them fighting over it first? He hesitated for a moment, not knowing which side to take. Finally, he looked at his son, who was full of anticipation, and sighed. "I also believe in Sect Master Yi's character. If someone from the Yu Family really did such an evil thing, I think Patriarch Yu would have to thank Sect Master Yi for helping you clean up the mess. "
"You …" Yu Haiheng was clearly unhappy with this outcome. He had wanted to suppress Invincible Sect, but he didn't expect that not only would he not get any benefits, he would also have to drag out a bunch of scandals that would embarrass the Yu Family. "Even so, they are still escaped slaves of the Yu Family."
"Patriarch Yu's words are not right." Xuan Yuanyu took the opportunity to say, "If Zhen Xiang really did such an evil thing, he can no longer be considered a righteous sect. Naturally, he can no longer be a member of the Yu Family. Then the human cauldrons under him are no longer slaves of the Yu Family. Where did the escaped slaves come from? "
"This matter has not been concluded. Just one side of the story is not enough to prove it." Yu Haiheng still didn't give up. "Now we don't even know where Zhen Xiang's body is. How can we prove that he really practiced demonic arts?"
"He's in Upper Azure Town," Shen Ying said. "That person should still be underground. Go and dig, you'll be able to find him." After some thought, she added, "Mm, we might have to dig a little deeper."
Underground!
Xuan Yuanyu shuddered as he recalled certain scenes. Suddenly, he didn't want to ask what exactly happened in Upper Azure Town.
Yu Haiheng's expression completely darkened. There was nothing more to argue about. The Yu Family had also received some news about Zhen Xiang. They were just finding an excuse to suppress Invincible Sect. But if they really found Zhen Xiang's body, the Nascent Soul's body would not decompose. Everything would be clear once they checked his meridians.
"Since we haven't found out the truth, let's stop here." Yin Feng stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Yu, please let go of the two disciples of Invincible Sect."
"That's right, Patriarch Yu, hurry up and let them go!" Xuan Yuanyu urged.
Si Yu was overjoyed. Her previously tense nerves finally relaxed and she looked at Shen Ying excitedly.
"Oh right." Shen Ying seemed to have thought of something. She turned and looked straight at Yu Haiheng. Slowly, as if enunciating each word, she said, "No matter what you find in the future, whether it's Little Green or Little Red. I don't care who they were in the past, but in the future they will be sisters of Invincible Sect. You can't just capture them! I don't have a good temper. You have to remember that. "
What did she mean? A threat? How dare a mere sect master threaten the Yu Family! Yu Haiheng was so angry that he was about to stand up. Xuan Yuanyu quickly stepped forward and held him back. He nodded at Shen Ying and chuckled.
"Of course, of course! This is all a misunderstanding. Let's not take it to heart. Patriarch Yu, please let the other disciple of Invincible Sect be released. "
Yu Haiheng blinked furiously. This time, Yu Haiheng finally understood what he meant. He snorted unwillingly and suppressed the anger in his heart. He gave a look to a Traveling Immortal elder beside him. The elder nodded. In a flash, he disappeared from the hall.
A moment later, there was a thud and he appeared again. He casually threw the person he was holding onto to the ground beside Shen Ying.
It had only been a few hours, but Yu Hong's originally bright red clothes were now covered in dark, dried blood. Her body, hands, and face were covered with deep wounds that revealed her bones. Her originally exquisite hair bun was now a mess. She looked very pathetic.
"Senior Sister!" Si Yu rushed over and carefully helped the person on the ground.
But Yu Hong looked up at Shen Ying. Her eyes immediately lit up. She called out softly, "Sect Master." She opened her mouth, as if trying to smile to reassure Shen Ying. However, the wound on her face opened up and a drop of blood slid down the side of her face.
Shen Ying felt as if a string that had been pressing down on her had snapped. Something exploded from within her.
He looked up at the head of the table and laughed.
"Ha … I really don't like to reason!"
"Great Immortal, don't!"
But it was too late. In the next instant, Shen Ying had already appeared behind Yu Haiheng.
…
Xuan Yuan's heart sank. It's over!
