"Uncle Tuo, you're quite accurate. You said that he would win, and he really did."
Sang Zhi seemed very happy. In the past, Yun Mo had often mocked her for her slow cultivation progress. Today, that anger was finally gone.
"I'm afraid that you'll cause a lot of trouble this time," Uncle Tuo said calmly.
"What kind of trouble can we cause? I didn't kill him. The Yun family can't possibly come after us, right?" Sang Zhi said nonchalantly.
"Third young mistress, you're being a little irresponsible," Miling said with a frown.
"Uh …"
Sang Zhi glanced at Xiao Lingyu. Only then did she realize that what she said was inappropriate. She laughed and said, "Although I, Sang Zhi, didn't kill him, Yun Mo's death made me very happy. I won't let the Yun family come after you!"
Miling and Xiao Lingyu didn't expect Sang Zhi to take responsibility. For a young mistress like Sang Zhi, she only cared about temporary gratification. She wouldn't care about the consequences.
But now, other than the Sang family, Miling and Xiao Lingyu didn't know who else to rely on.
Moreover, if Sang Zhi hadn't insisted on arguing with Yun Mo, everyone would've just flown to Gourd City, and that battle wouldn't have happened.
"Don't worry, it was a fair battle just now. Everyone relied on their own abilities. Moreover, Yun Mo was the one who started the fight. Even if he died, he could only blame himself for not being skilled enough. The Yun family will definitely hate this, but they won't make a big fuss. After all, everyone still wants to maintain their reputation. Moreover, fighting and seeking revenge are forbidden in Gourd City. As long as little brother Xiao doesn't leave the city, the Yun family can't do anything to him. "
Uncle Tuo followed up and reminded, "If the Yun Clan sends any more experts to challenge Little Brother Xiao in the city, Little Brother Xiao can just ignore them. No matter how much they insult you, just pretend that you didn't hear them. After all, you killed one of their geniuses, so there's no harm in letting them curse you."
Xiao Lingyu's injuries were not light. His face was pale as he nodded. He knew when to endure and when not to.
Sang Zhi led everyone into the city through the west gate. After walking through three streets, they arrived at the entrance of the Sang Manor.
Sang Zhi did not invite Xiao Lingyu and Miling in as guests. Instead, he asked the guards at the gate to escort Xiao Lingyu and Miling to the residence in the northern part of the city.
"You guys go back first. I'll send someone to deliver the reward for this trip later."
After Sang Zhi finished speaking, he followed Uncle Tuo into the Sang clan's courtyard.
Under the escort of more than ten experts from the Sang clan, Xiao Lingyu and Mi Ling made it back to their own residence unscathed.
In the eastern part of Gourd City, there was a large courtyard with high walls. It was heavily guarded. This was the Yun Clan's residence.
In a large hall deep within the Yun Clan's residence, more than ten Yun Clan experts sat upright. The guards who followed Yun Mo before were all kneeling in the hall.
Bang!!
A middle-aged cultivator who was sitting in front of the entrance threw a white jade teacup onto the floor of the hall.
"A bunch of trash! Someone actually killed Yun Mo right under your noses. What use does my Yun Clan have for you? "
The middle-aged cultivator stood up and roared furiously.
The Yun Clan experts in the room were all silent out of fear. At this moment, no one had any intention of stepping out to plead for mercy for the guards.
The Patriarch's most beloved son had died. How could he not be angry? How could he not find someone to vent his anger on?
"Kill yourselves!" the middle-aged cultivator said, not allowing them to refuse.
The faces of the guards turned pale as they trembled all over.
"Lord Father, please calm down."
A young man in embroidered clothes stood out. He first bowed and said, "Lord Father, third brother is dead. However, they weren't the ones who killed him. They were all guards that our Yun Clan carefully nurtured. They have been loyal to our Yun Clan for many years. Lord Father, please forgive them this once. After all, if we want to take revenge, we have to find our true enemies. Killing our own people in our own home will only make our enemies happy."
"It's precisely because our Yun Clan carefully nurtured them that they couldn't perform at a critical moment like this that they deserved to die! If our Yun Clan cultivators were as useless as them, how could we establish ourselves in Gourd City and Gourd Bay in the future? "the middle-aged cultivator said hatefully.
"Second Brother, it's not up to you to tell Lord Father what to do."
Another cultivator who looked slightly older than the young man in embroidered clothes stood out. He pointed at the guards and said, "These trash deserve to die!"
The second young master of the Yun Clan looked at the other experts of the Yun Clan. However, everyone looked down and no one was willing to speak up. He could only sigh and silently take half a step back.
"What? Do you still want me to do it myself?" the Patriarch of the Yun Clan said to the guards who were in despair.
These guards knew that they couldn't escape death. However, they couldn't bear to kill themselves.
Guards like them would receive a very generous supply of resources from the Yun Clan. Usually, they didn't have to worry about Yang Crystals for cultivation. However, when they received such generous treatment, they also gave their lives to the Yun Clan. When they became the elite guards of the Yun Clan, the Patriarch of the Yun Clan had already planted a Soul Restriction on them. Therefore, they were extremely loyal.
It was also because of the existence of the Soul Restriction that they didn't escape after Yun Mo's death. They could only hope that the Patriarch would forgive them this once.
"Yun Hai, send them off," the Patriarch of the Yun Clan said to his eldest son.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Yun Hai didn't hesitate. With a light shout, a silver fire orange appeared in the palm of his hand. The fire orange then split into several strands and turned into a silver light that flew out.
The several kneeling guards of the Yun Clan were all hit by the silver light. Then, their bodies burned with silver flames and their bodies began to melt rapidly.
After the guards of the Yun Clan were all burned to ashes, the Patriarch of the Yun Clan said to Yun Hai with dissatisfaction, "Yun Hai, you have been in the Nirvana Realm for a long time, but your Nirvana True Fire doesn't seem to have made much progress."
The True Fire in the body of a Nirvana Realm expert would transform into Nirvana True Fire. This was the key to advancing to the Nirvana Realm. It was also the focus of cultivation in the Nirvana Realm. It was also the symbol of a Nirvana Realm expert.
The power of Nirvana True Fire was something that no Immortality Realm cultivator could withstand with their body. It was also not something that ordinary magic weapons could resist.
"I have been cultivating diligently." Yun Hai seemed to be a bit embarrassed. His words also seemed to be half-hearted.
"Yun Mo, I am a rare genius of the Yun Clan. He died so tragically. How do you think we should deal with the murderer?"
The Patriarch of the Yun Clan sat back down in his seat. It seemed that killing the guards of the Yun Clan had improved his mood of losing his beloved son.
"This matter is a bit tricky. If the murderer has been hiding in the city, even if our Yun Clan is powerful and has many experts, we can't do anything to him."
At this moment, the experts of the Yun Clan who were sitting upright and still finally spoke up.
"Moreover, the Sang Clan is clearly involved in this matter. We have to be careful." One of the experts of the Yun Clan said.
"Although the Sang Clan is involved, they didn't do anything. It's hard for us to use this as an excuse to make things difficult for the Sang Clan. Right now, it's better to take revenge on the murderer."
Yun Hai continued, "The murderer can't be hiding in the city forever. He offended our Yun Clan before, but didn't he still get out? From what I know, the murderer has many family members in the city. It won't be easy to feed these family members. Moreover, we can make our move in the residence they are currently living in and make them lose their foothold first. "
"If we do that, I'm afraid that the murderer will directly side with the Sang Clan. When that time comes, it will be even more difficult for us." One of the experts of the Yun Clan said.
"Don't worry, the Yun Clan won't take them in!"
The Yun Clan Patriarch continued, "Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. Our Yun Clan residence has too many guards who have lived like princes for many years. It's time for these guards to be mobilized. If we can't deal with the murderer in the open, then we'll have to do something in the dark. I'm sure it won't be hard to find a few death warriors in the residence, right? "
Death warriors naturally referred to people who didn't fear death.
Everyone understood what the Yun Clan Patriarch meant. He wanted to find a few death warriors in the Yun Clan to disregard the Gourd City's City Lord's Manor's ban and kill enemies in the city.
After returning to Miling's residence, Xiao Lingyu naturally went into seclusion to recover from his injuries.
Although his wives were very concerned, they didn't disturb Xiao Lingyu. They had long since gotten used to Xiao Lingyu being injured. In the past, this was a rare occurrence.
When they heard from Miling that Xiao Lingyu had killed the Yun Clan's Third Young Master, they didn't take it to heart. They had long since gotten used to Xiao Lingyu causing trouble and killing people.
Miaoying even said, "Didn't he just kill the young master of a small clan in a small city? Is that even a big deal?"
Miling felt helpless towards Xiao Lingyu's wives' reactions. He could guess that Xiao Lingyu must have had a glorious past before he ascended. Otherwise, how could he have so many talented wives? How could his wives all be so proud and confident?
However, the past only represented the past. How were they supposed to deal with the difficulties in front of them?
Miling could only frown bitterly by himself.
Less than three days after his return, the Sang Clan finally sent someone over.
The person who came was a steward of the Sang Clan. His posture wasn't high, and his tone was very amiable.
The Sang Clan steward left behind a storage pouch, then said a few polite words before leaving the residence.
The Sang Clan was very generous. There were twenty thousand Yang crystals in the storage pouch, as well as several hundred Life Pearls from sea beasts.
According to the previous agreement, Xiao Lingyu and Miling would be lucky to receive more than a thousand Yang crystals. However, they had fought for the Sang Clan on the deck of the ship. Even if the profits from this voyage were almost all used up by the black iron ship, the Sang Clan couldn't really give them two or three thousand Yang crystals.
In fact, the reason they were able to receive so many Yang crystals and Life Pearls was because they had rendered meritorious service to the Sang Clan, and also because Xiao Lingyu had killed Yun Mo.
With so many Yang crystals, Miling's gloomy expression improved slightly. He handed the storage pouch over to Xiao Lingyu.
