Yuan Lianyao explained with a bitter smile.
As the city lord of Dark Moon City, she was well aware of the Yu Clan's predicament.
However, she couldn't do anything about it.
The Lin Clan and the Fan Clan were among the five most powerful clans in the Silver Moon Empire. Plus, Yu Yuan's reckless behavior in the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land had caused many other grand cultivators to be dissatisfied with the Yu Clan because of Yu Yuan.
All they had done was stop all the clans and forces in the Silver Moon Empire from doing business with the Yu Clan and purchasing their medicinal plants.
How could Yuan Lianyao interfere with such a thing?
When Su Yan had been in Dark Moon City, she had used her influence in the Su Clan to purchase medicinal plants from the Yu Clan in private. Then, she would bring them to the Su Clan and force them to be exchanged for spirit stones.
Su Xiangtian had turned a blind eye and let her do whatever she wanted.
However, after Su Yan left the Qianxuan Continent with Su Xiangtian, she couldn't interfere with the Yu Clan's business anymore.
Meanwhile, many people in the Su Clan were dissatisfied with the Yu Clan because of all kinds of grudges.
After Su Xiangtian left, the elders of the Su Clan completely ignored the Yu Clan's troubles.
As a result, all the sects and forces in the Silver Moon Empire that dealt with medicinal plants secretly ostracized the Yu Clan, causing the medicinal plants that the Yu Clan had worked so hard to grow to be neglected.
Those medicinal plants were the foundation of the Yu Clan's survival in Dark Moon City and the Silver Moon Empire.
Since they couldn't find anyone to buy their medicinal plants from, and the Yu Clan's guest elders were constantly using up their spirit stones, it was only natural that the Yu Clan was in dire straits.
After the Huang Clan had perished, the Yu Clan hadn't been able to extract much from the spirit mines that had been given to them.
Therefore, even though Yuan Lianyao knew where the problem lay, there was nothing she could do to help the Yu Clan.
The only thing she could do was make sure that the Frigid Dark Sect, the Lin Clan, and the Fan Clan wouldn't dare to make a move against the Yu Clan openly in Dark Moon City.
As the city lord, she had no right to interfere in other matters.
"It's not her fault. She's already done everything she can for the Yu Clan."
Ning Ji let out a long sigh as he slowly rose to his feet. First, he spoke up for Yuan Lianyao. Then, he examined his physical condition and said, "Hmm? I seem to be... a little better now."
Just now, under the intense pain of the cold current, he actually didn't have time to feel too much. He only knew that when Yu Yuan's palm pressed down, his cold dantian area suddenly became hot.
In an instant, a cold current flew out from his Dantian, and everything returned to normal.
The icy aura in his Dantian acupoint had weakened significantly.
The sudden attack of the cold current had also been temporarily alleviated. However, no one knew when it would attack again.
"You!" Suddenly, he noticed that blood was flowing out of Yu Yuan's Huangting meridian.
Ning Ji's expression changed slightly. He suddenly realized that something must have happened when he was being eroded by the cold current. Otherwise, this young master of the Yu clan wouldn't have ended up like this.
Halfway through, the little girl suddenly appeared and opened her mouth to suck in the cold poison, but he didn't see it.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Elder Ning."
With a smile, Yu Yuan took another deep look at Ning Ji's Dantian region. He knew that the Frigid Shadow Sect expert's most vicious attack had been neutralized. However, the cold current that had entered Ning Ji's Dantian still needed to be channeled. Otherwise, it would continue to corrode his bones and dig into his heart.
Yuan Lianyao's beautiful eyes rippled as she suddenly noticed the dark-skinned little girl. "Who is this girl?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but the rippling look in her beautiful eyes gradually faded away.
She discovered that the dark-skinned, somewhat ugly little girl exuded a dangerous aura that made her subconsciously want to stay away from her.
She instinctively sensed that this little girl, who had suddenly shown up in the Yu Clan's town with Yu Yuan, wasn't as simple as she seemed.
"She's a little sister of mine." Eyebrows furrowed, Yu Yuan said what he had been planning to say for a long time. "Her name is Yutu. I met her on my way back to Dark Moon City after leaving the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons. She seems to have gone through great changes. She can't remember many things, and can't even speak properly. "
The dark-skinned little girl seemed very nervous as Yu Yuan introduced herself.
When Yu Yuan finished speaking, her eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of her mouth curved into a sweet smile, as if she was very happy, as if she was saying: I finally have a name.
"Yutu?" Yuan Lianyao was taken aback. "Why is your surname Yu?"
Yu Yuan shrugged. "I just gave it a random name."
"Why is it called Yu?" Yuan Lianyao asked.
"Yeah."
Yuan Lianyao was full of curiosity. She knew that something must be wrong. However, since Yu Yuan didn't want to explain, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it in front of Ning Ji. "Have you entered the Golden Hall stage already?" She changed the subject.
A shudder ran through Ning Ji. "The Golden Hall stage?! So fast?"
"I was just lucky," Yu Yuan said with a smile.
"I'm not surprised at all." Yuan Lianyao rolled her eyes at him. "Su Yan, Zhan Tianxiang, and the others have all entered the Profound Shattering stage because of the trial in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons. You stayed in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons for so long, and now you've come out alive and entered the Golden Hall stage. It's very normal. "
In her heart, Yu Yuan, who she couldn't see through, was the most outstanding and powerful among the batch of trial takers.
Li Yu, Zhan Tianxiang, and Su Yan were all inferior to him.
It was because of this confidence and acknowledgment that she and Ning Ji had always believed that Yu Yuan would come out of the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons in good condition.
Therefore, before she went into secluded cultivation, she had instructed Li Feng to inform him of Yu Yuan's whereabouts at the first possible moment.
It turned out that she was right.
Yu Yuan smiled casually. "It's my honor to have you think so highly of me, big sister."
"Do you really need to be so formal with me?" Yuan Lianyao said with a charming smile. She didn't even try to hide it from Ning Ji as she took his arm and said in an incomparably intimate manner, "Come on, let's go back to Dark Moon City!"
Yu Yuan was speechless as he felt the fullness of her breasts on his arm and said, "I don't plan to go back to the city for the time being."
"Why?" Yuan Lianyao was puzzled. She turned to look at him and said, "Your grandfather and aunt are very worried about you, and so are the young and old members of the Zhao Clan. Now that you're back, of course you have to go to Dark Moon City. Why don't you stay in Yu Town? "
"I'm planning to stay in Yu Town for the time being," Yu Yuan said.
"Yu Town isn't Dark Moon City. I can't take care of everything. I'm afraid... it won't be very safe." Yuan Lianyao frowned. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "If you didn't show up, Yu Town would be safe. No one would do anything rash. But now that you've shown up, things will be different. I'm afraid that some people will take risks. "
"I know what you mean, but it shouldn't be a problem." Yu Yuan understood what she meant. Pointing at the barren fields, he said, "These are the roots of our clan's survival. Only they can turn our miserable situation around. I'm staying because I want to spend some time and effort to give them a new look. "
"What can they change?" Yuan Lianyao was puzzled. "Let's talk about the growth of the medicinal plants. No matter how good the harvest is, what's the point of it if no one buys it?"
"It'll be different," Yu Yuan said confidently.
...
"What? That brat Yu Yuan is back? "
In the Yu Clan, Yu Can, the patriarch of the Yu Clan, was both surprised and angry upon hearing the news. "If he's back, why didn't he go home? What is he doing in town?"
"He's planting new medicinal plants," Yu Hu said with a strange expression.
"He's only treating the symptoms, not the root of the problem!" Yu Can said angrily. "The problem with our clan isn't that we don't plant good medicinal plants, but something else!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he shouted, "Prepare the carriage! Let's go to Yu Town! "
Many Yu Clan members, including Yu Feifei, instantly cheered in excitement.
It was as if Yu Yuan's return was the spark that ignited their clan's revival!
Yu Wei, the second generation Yu Clan member, and many other elderly Yu Clan members also had a strange feeling.
They didn't know when that young man, who had been muddle-headed for more than ten years, had suddenly become the backbone of their clan, and the key to their clan's rise and fall!
...
"Yu Yuan is back."
In the Zhao Clan, Zhao Dongsheng found the old man, who drank tea and sunbathed all day. "Ya Fu was right. Yu Yuan will come back one day."
Zhao Zhenghao, who was short and short, narrowed his eyes and said hastily, "Come with me to the Yu Clan!"
"Yu Yuan is in Yu Town, not the Yu Clan in the city," Zhao Dongsheng explained.
"Then let's go to Yu Town!"
...
In Youyue City, the brocade banner with the surname "Zhan" was fluttering in the wind in the magnificent city lord's mansion.
In a secluded cultivation room in the mansion, a giant golden elephant that was as mighty as a mountain appeared above Zhan Tianxiang's head, unleashing extremely violent demonic energy.
One spirit stone after another was instantly reduced to dust, and the enormous amount of demonic energy and spiritual power rushed into Zhan Tianxiang's body to help him refine his body.
All of a sudden, a bronze bell on Zhan Tianxiang's neck let out an ear-piercing jingle.
Zhan Tianxiang, who had just finished a round of cultivation, was overjoyed to hear the sound of the bell. He laughed heartily and said, "I knew that kid would be fine!"
With these words, he pushed open the heavy stone door with a loud rumble and shouted, "Prepare the spirit condor! I'm going to Dark Moon City!"
